could never forget the days when there
was nothing o. the grange but himself or
realize that the great order which he had
founded had outgrown the control even of
parents.
How all this was the writer knows not,
but at any rate Mr.. Kelly retired from SER
vice in 1873. He grew with his work and
from a small politician of good impulses
became strong man. He impressed him
self on his generation and will never be
forgotten. The grange and the Nation
owe him great debt.
Up to May, 1867, Mr.. Kelly had done no
work upon the order; merely talked about
it. That month he met w. II. Ireland,
chief clerk of the Finance Office of the
Postoffice Department, and who subse-
quently became secretary of the National
Grange upon Mr.. Kelly's retirement. He
had previously conversed upon the subject
with Rev. John Trimble Jr. Subsequently
he interested William Saunders, canny
Scotchman in the Bureau of Agriculture,
]. r. Thompson, Arson Bartlett of Ohio,
A. S. Moss of Fredonia, n. Y, Rev. A. B.
Grosh of Washington, F. NJ. Mcdowell of
Wayne, n. Y, and William Muir of st.
Louis, who. with MIR. Kelly and his niece,
Miss Hall, are considered the. founders of
the grange.
The San Francisco call. [volume] (San Francisco [Calif.]) 1895-1913, 1895-10-01

With these gentlemen and others Mr..
Kelly consulted and worked upon rit-
ual. His room became the meeting-place,
where almost daily Messrs. Saunders,
Ireland and Trimble, or some of them
dropped in after dinner for comfortable
smoke and chat about the new order or
work upon its ritual. The departments at
Washington contain representatives from
all States. and continued trips are being
made by department employees upon Gov
eminent business to all parts of the Union.
From all parts of the country, also, there
is constant succession of visitors to
washington. There were, therefore,
abundant opportunities to present the
plan to representative men in all parts of
the country, and the plan was certain to
meet with universal approval. 1t is a.
cheering fact that no one can present any
well-digested plan for promoting the good
of his fellow-men without receiving in
slant and warm commentator. This en-
courages the enthusiast and leads to

COOPERATION IN BUSINESS.

The grange, in the form in which Mr..
Kelly was about to present it to the coun-
try, relied solely on the following features
First, education to be promoted by
libraries, lectures, discussions and mutual
information; secondly, fraternity, follow
ing in this respect the general lines of
Masonry, to which most or all of its
founders belonged; thirdly, companion
ship of woman in full membership and
the social features naturally following.
This was the contribution of Mr.. Kelly and
his associates to the idea of the grange.
Magnificent and far-reaching as were these
ideas the grange did not thrive upon them
alone, and had it rested there the grange
would have fingered along and probably
died.
The idea which gave the first5real i'm
petus to the Grange was cooperation in
business. This idea gradually grew up
after the organization of the National
Grange; there are illusions to it in the
preliminary correspondence, but nothing
In any formal document previous to Janu-
airy IL, 1871, when the executive committee
The San Francisco call. [volume] (San Francisco [Calif.]) 1895-1913, 1895-10-01

the suggestion that women be admitted to
the order on equal terms with the men.
This notion at the time was new and start
ling. The "side degrees" of the Eastern
Star and Rebekah were familiar to the Ma
sons and Odd Fellows, but that women
could be trusted with the awful mysteries
of the sanctum sanctorum of secret or
der had not then occurred to any one. Mr.
Kelly adopted the idea, and it was the sal
walton of the plan. The interest and SYM
pathy of women established the grange,
and now maintain it.
By the time be returned to Washington
the notion had got firmly fixed in his mind
and gave him no peace. Day and night it
was with him, and gradually expanded and
grew as he dreamed of the mighty changes
in the condition of the farmer which could
be'achieved by united and intelligent ac-
ton. He became an enthusiast.
Mr.. Kelly has himself given a full &C
count of the growth of the plan in his
mind, and of his experiences in founding

A POPULAR CONVENIENT.

The first strong impetus given to the
grangecame from the idea of business CO.
operation. The idea that by cooperation
the farmers could exchange their products
with each other direct, eliminating all
middlenen CT every description, got start
ed in the West, and once started went
through the Mississippi Valley like Wild
fire.
Every grange was to have its "store";
every State It's wholesale establishment.
The oranges of the Upper Mississippi Val
ley wer' to exchange their corn and pork
for the sugar and molasses of the Loulsl-
ana gralgers; they were to own their own
warehouses, both at home, IN the great
cities and in Liverpool; the National
Grange vas to become q vast supervising
business establishment. AS these notions
began to take hold of the people interest
in the grange was at once aroused. In
finitely below even the money value OF
the first grand conception of the founders
of the oder as these views were they
seemed What was necessary to arouse the
people.
Here vas something tangible, immediate,
magnificent; this would rescue them from
the bondage of the middleman and make
them allrich. The idea spread so rapidly
as to alalm the country storekeepers, who
naturally began to fight and opposition

we are bound to try it at once. The busi-
ness feature of the order became the main
thing. In their eagerness to become free,
no one would wait for the other or for
well-conddered plans, or to learn from
the accumulated experience of others.
This movement did not spring from the
level-headed founders of the order, but
seemed to grow up spontaneously from the
people everywhere. Mr.. Kelly was in the
midst of it, and was carried along with it,
losing money, in the end, like the rest.
For while business cooperation is en-
tirely practicable and capable. OF immense
good to those who engaged in it wisely,
hardly anything can bring people to grief
more quickly than cooperation on the
credit system, which the cooperative
stores of the Mississippi Valley almost
universally engage in. But this they did
not yet know, and the work of organiza-
ton in this line, once started about 1871,
went merrilV on

PLAN FOR REVENUE.

The revenue was to be derived from fees
of $15 each for instituting subordinate
oranges, from which must be deducted the
cost of whatever supplies were furnished
by the National Grange; this, to be sure,
was not much at first, but it was hard
bargain.
Before leaving, Mr.. Kelly called on
Worthy Master Saunders; as he handed
him some blank dispensations to sign, he
said jokingly:
"Here / am, ready to start"
"Start for where?" said the worthy
MASTER
81 have bought my ticket for Harrisburg
and stop there first. propose to work my
way organizing granges.p
Have you any money!"
81 have about 81 so of grange money,
but intend to pay my way as CO."
In pleasant way Brother Saunders re-
marked:
well, you are fool to start on such an
errand.n
And they shook hands and parted.
Up to that time there had been advanced
at various times for the good of the order
by Mr.. Kelly $26 rs; Saunders, Mcdowell
and Ireland, $40 each; Washington Prac-
tice Grange, $35. Total sol rs. Mr.. Nc
Dowell, at Harrisburg, advanced $50 addi-
tional. During the first year ten subor-
dinate oranges were established, yielding
$3.50. For the rest the supplies had to
come as the mamma came to Israel.

letter pages of Instructions whenever he
organized grange, and wished to have
them printed to save work. To this Mr..
Ireland writes:

that no further action be taken In the

A PERIOD OF DISTRESS.

There are pages of this correspondence
interpreted with much in more cheer
ing vein. The facts seem to be that all the
associates at Washington were really in
terested in the work and in Mr. Kelly.
None of them, however, were organizers or
had any faculty OF inspiring others even to
the degree of interest which they felt,
which was not sufficient to induce the hall
dozen of them to put their hands in their
pockets and pay off the insignificant in
debtedness, which they were unquestion-

that great meteor fell in the
mountains OF the peninsula, ten miles
northeast OF Real del Castillo.
He states that about noon Of Jan

several tons OF giant powder, occur

valley between the rocky hills with
great reverberations. The cause OF
the commotion could not be located

as Eli Walker, who distinctly heard
the explosion in Maneadero valley,
thirty-four miles south OF Guada-

said to have fallen, learned the cause

Profanity of the Sailors Reassursd
the Parson.

A good story is told OF tinid
clergyman just arrived from trip
abroad. Coming home the weather
was alarmingly tempestuous. The
wind blew a hurricane, the vessel
rolled, and the parson took fright.
He left his stateroom and staggered
along to the office OF John Kava-
naugh, the purser, who is bit of
wag, and said:
"I'm sure, Mr.. Purser, you'll par
don me, but | feel so dreadfuily
agitated. Kindly inform me are we
in any positive danger?"
Kavauaugh replied: "Come with
me a moment" aud he led the way
to the forecastle. "Now," continued
he. "bend your ear down there and
tell me- what you hear"
The sailors were swearing in their
happy-go.l lucky, unconscious way,
says the ondon News.
"How shocking! What ianguagew
groaned the parson, trembling from
head to foot.
Now, do you for moment tkink
that those sailors would 20 on in
that profane fashion il there was
any real dapger?" asked the consol-
ing Kavanaugh.
"True, true" replied the parsor,
somewhat Gained by the assurance.
"One may sometimes pluck the
sweet flower of comfort from the
vile cloak OF sin. The ways OF Pro.
violence are indeed inscrutable," and
back he crawled to his room in
degree reassurnd.
Two hours later the storm had in
creased in violence, the wind ragged
and howled more wildly, and huge
waves broke over and seemed to
submerge the great ship. The par
son was out of his room again, more
scared than before, aud was seen
silently, nervously fumbliDg his way
along the wet deck To the iurecastle.
He was deadly pale and trembled
with excitement. He listened. The
sailors were shouting, aud a tre-
mendous oath amid the din reached
his ear.
Thank heaven" murmured he.
"They are still at it. They still
blaspheme. There is no danger yet,
the Lord be praised!"

Photographic Color Printing

According to the Photographic
Times the most successful of recent
attempts at Photographic color
printing by the chromo-gelatine
process requires three negatives.
One Of these is photograph OF all
the red, another OF all the yellow,
and third OF all the blue-violet in
the colored plate or object to be
photographed. Plates are made
from these photographs, and they
are printed so as to recombine the
colors and form fac-simile Of the
original.

FEMININE JURORS.
Two Women Serve Satisfactorily in
Colorado Court

Two women recently sat on a jury
in a Justices court in Cripple Creek.
Constable Halfway, when he went
out to get his panel, concluded that
as the fair sex could now vote they
could also act as jurors, and so
brought in bovy of women and a
few men, says the Denver Repub-
lican.
Tue ease on trial was that OF a
landlady who was charged with
stealing ring valued at Sl2 from
one OF her boarders and sending it
to her daughter at Des Moines. The
two women, along with a number OF
men, found the defendant guilty
aud assessed a fine Of 81 aud costs
against the lapdlady after an
absence Of five minutes from the
jury box.
