The Grand Masters Visit.

w. II. Wells, of Montevideo. grand
master of the l. o. @. f. of Mime
sofa. arrived on the 8:15 train last
evening for the purpose of visiting
the Odd Fellows Lodge of this city
He was met at the train by a com.
mittee and escorted to the lodge
room in the Flynn block. The in.
itintory degree was conferred on a
candidate and when it came to- re.
marks for the good OF the order the
grand master proceeded to instruct
the lodge in the secret work, of the
order. Heretofore it has been the
custom for the grand master, soon
after his election, to call a meeting
of the district deputies to instruct
them in this work and they are sup
posed to instruct the lodge; but
Grand Master Wells has investigated
the matter and finds that the meet.
ing Of the deputies causes the grand
lodge considerable expense while
the cost is much less and the results
more sa tisfactory when he visits the
lodges and explains the secret work
to the rank and file instead of to rep.
resentatives. This, therefore, is the
reason he is making the tour
through the state and holding
schools for instruction. His visit
was of great benefit to the lodge and
all who were present were highly
pleased with the instructions giver
and the remarks made by Crane
Master Wells. =

TEACHERS MEETING

The meeting was held last evening
after school. Miss Olson's paper on
the "Evolution of Dodd." was ex-
cellent. She followed the career of
Dodd throughout his school life,
showing the methods employed by
each of his many teachers and how
the great majority failed because OF
their Inability to understand Dodd's
nature, or to cut themselves loose
from mechanical teaching. The
story of the REVOLUTION of Dodd" is
one of the. strongest educational
works ever written, and for teach
ers it is overtlOwing with thought
and suggestions. Miss BarlOW's
paper on the teaching of arithmetic
between the third and sixth grades
inclusive, was a thorough exposi-
tion of arithmetical work in those
grades. The writer took up the
work of each grade separa tely,
showing what it involves, and Offer
ing suggestions as to the methods of
teaching. No part of the work was
left untouched, and so sound were
the writer's remarks and reasoning
that all of the teachers felt well
pleased and benefited. These two
papers are the first of a series of
papers which are to be given at the
meetings of the teachers.

DYNAMITE EXPLOSION
Thaws Out Unexpectedly.
n Narrow Escape,

A. D Harrison,' who has charge of
the work OH the dam, and some OF
his men have reason TO congrat tulate
themselves on their narrow escape
this morning. During Mr.. Harri-
sons absence at another part of the
work one of the men placed q
wooden box containing ten pounds
Of dynamite, near the fire to
thaw out, which was contrary to
orders. When MIR. Harrison re-
turned he stood up with his back to
the fire to get warm, and upon look
ing around discovered the box of dyn-
anite on fire. He warned the men
and jumped, getting away about
ten feet when the explosion occurred.
1t shook him considerably. and
when reporter saw him a few
minutes later his hair continued to
stand. One OF the men who was
working about ten feet away jumped
down a fifteen foot embankment to
the river but was not injured. A
can that was on the fire has not
been found and an axe handle that
was ON the ground near the box had
a piece about II foot long split from

THE PRICE OF WOOL.
HOW TIE FREE RAW MATERIAL BILL
HAS AFFECTED THE FARMER.

A Clear Comparison of London and Ameri-
can Prices-The Change From Harrison
to Cleveland Caused a Difference of 6
Cents Per Pound.
The Cannonsburg Herald of Washing
ton county, Pa, states that zone of our
farmers recently sold his unwashed wool
at ID cents per pound. Unwashed wool
was then quoted at Is cents per pound
in the London market. The duty on
wool was II cents. Add cent for car
riage, and foreign wool would cost q
cents laid down in New York. Our
friend got IA cents. We would like to
know where the protection comes in.''
Such wool as brings Is cents in the
London market is twice as valuable as
the IA cent unwashed Pennsylvania
wool. The former is skirted Australian
and $50 clean that in any market it
would command a higher price than the
cleanest fleece washed woods of Wash
lngton county, to say nothing of un-
washed. We might as we'll compare
gold and silver, because they are pre-
cious metals, as to compare Washington
county unwashed with Australian un-
washed. They are neither in the same
condition. The wool which this Wash
ington county farmer sold in Washing
ton county at IA cents is worth only 81
cents in London. and with free wool the
London price would be the American
price in New York, and on the farm it
would be at least cents per pound less
than the price in New York, or Ct cents,
because it would cost over cents per
pound to get wool from the farm in
Washington county to the eastern mar
ket.
In confirmation of the free trade value
of Washington county wool we refer to
the following table procured by the Ma
tional Association of Woolen EIanufac-
turers; giving the cost in London of GER
tain lots of Australian unwashed woods
competing with Washington county
woods. The average price was 10 cents
in London for unwashed skirted wool,
the average shrinkage of which was 4S
per cent, and the average clean secured
cost was 364 cents:

! Thus you will see that first class Aus
| tralian wool, although unwashed and
free from skirts, is so clean that the
shrinkage is only 48per cent as against
shrinkage of IS per cent for Washington
county unwashed wool with the skirts
on. Washington county washed feeces,
with the skirts on, will shrink IS per
cent. If we had free wool, the London
price would De the American price, for
the freight from London to New York is
only one-fourth cent per pound, which is
less than the freight on wool from Wash
ington county farms to the same market.
Therefore, with free wool, the Washing
ton county farmer will have to sell scour-
ed merino wool free from skirts at 361
cents.
It is estimated that the loss on the
skirts, tag locks, legs and belly wool is
from 6 to cents per pound on American
wools to make them equal to Australian
sklrted wools. Assuming that 81 cents
would be the average loss on skirts on
Pennsylvania unwashed wool, the Amer
ican farmer with free trade would have
to sell secured wool, including the skirts,
at 30 cents in order to make it cost not
over S64 cents with the skirts off. Wash
ington county unwashed wool shrinks
65 per cent, yielding IS pounds of clean
secured wool at 30 cents; the free trade
price would make the unwashed fleece
worth 81 cents in the New York mar
ket. 1t cost at least 2 cents per pound to
| get it to the eastern market without any
ror0Ef fo 1ooo1
free trade price on the farm for unwash-
ed fleece would be not over g. cents for
such wool as our friend sold there re-
Gently at IA cents, and this wool that
was worth IA cents under the free wool
administration of Grover Cleveland was
worth 20 cents on the day that General
Harrison left the White House, March,
1898.
| Now, there has been no change in the
tariff law since then, but the reason that
this Pennsylvania farmer got ID cents
this year instead of 20 cents last year
was because its free trade value is only
| 81 cents, and the fall from 20 cents to II
cents was discounting the effect of a free
wool bill. The nearer we come to the
passage of that bill the nearer will be
the price on the farm in Washington
county to the London price of 81 cents
for such unwashed as was worth 2Ocents
last March.
On page 260 of The American Econo-
mist of Nov. is table showing the
price in London and also in the United
States for the same grade of Ohio wool
and Australian wool from the time of
the passage of the tariff law of 1867 up
to 1891. The average difference in the
| price Of wool Of the same shrinkage, of
the same blood and of the same diane
ter Of fiber was over 81 per cent lower
In free trade London than in the United
States under protection, and but for this
American protection the London price
| would have been the American price,
and the American woolgrower would
have received less than half of the price
which he did receive under "a years Of
protection. Or, in other words, If the
American farmer had sold his wool in
| London instead Of in America, he would
have received less than half Of the prices
actually obtained here.
