FARwELL ESTATE DECLINED.
The Com n ittee Thinks the Order Does
Not Need So Large Farm.

The committee of the Grand Lodge OF
ferred the matter of accepting or reject
ing the Farwell property, in Unity. for
an Odd Fellows Home, has declined the
gift.
A majority of the committee, in
October, went to Unity, in company with
the executors for the purpose of examin-
ing the property. 1t was estimated that
the sum of $4,000 would be needed to re-
pair the barns, buy farming tools, furnish
the house, and to put the premises in
condition for occupancy, and $4,000 yearly
thereafter to maintain it,, The grand lodge
of the 1877 subordinate lodges in the state,
giving them description of the property
and the estimates, asking them certain
questions, and the adyisability of accept
ing OF rejecting the property. Sixty
seven lodges with membership of H.
$50, voted against acceptance, while fifty
five lodges with membership of 8,055
voted in favor of acceptance. The others
did not respond.
The committee is of the opinion that
the order does not need such a large farm
which must always be kept up. and never
allowed to sell or exchange foot. One
of the greatest objections the order gets
nothing in fee simple, and never can.
AT most under the conditions Of the will,
the order gets title, subject to certain
conditions which must be performed.
AS the grand lodge would be obliged to
have tt ustees to look after the homo so
the Farwell estate would also have trus-
tees. These boards would be continuous,
and while all might be harmonious for
the present. yet contingencies might arise
in the future. After the grand lodge of
Maine might have spent $4,000 some
thing might come up where it would
have to forfeit it, and all revert to the
estate. These are the objections which
influence. the committee to decline.
The committee sent letter to o. j..
Farwell, at Unity. on Tuesday. In de-
clining the property the committee ex-
tended thanks to the gentlemanly trustees
for their many courtesies. They have
acted in the utmost good faith, and arc
entitled to the thanks of the grand lodge.
The trustees are now at liberty If they
see fit, to tender the property to some
other benevolent society, as Mr.. Farwell
intended the farm should go to such.

Bismarck as a Rand-organlat.

1t Is credibly related by a German
journal that during the reign of the
Emperor William l., when the present
emperor was a boy, Prince Bismarck,
walking one day through corridor Of
the royal palace at Berlin, came upon
a strange scene. Hearing within the
room which he passed a great racket,
he opened the door and saw the young
grandson of the emperor dancing about,
while their father, the crown prince,
ground at the handle Of hand-organ.
All were in high spirits and seeing
the chancellor, the young princes
laughingly invited him to join in the
dance. Prince Bismarck declined, but
he offered to turn the organ if the
crown prince would join his sons. The
crown prince assented and the chan
cellor turned the handle with great an
imation. The laughter and sport grew
louder with the increased speed of the
playing. Just then the old emperor
came in. He took in the situation at a
glance.
Il see, my lord chancellor" he said
with a smile, that you are beginning
early to make the princes dance to
your music!'
II the incident was accepted as
prophetic, it was soon proved Elusive.
The eldest, at least, of the old en-
peror's grandsons-the present emperor
has never since then danced to any
ones music but his own.-Youth's Com

Another" Proclaim Liberty Through
out All the Land, Uno9 All the Inhab-
ltants Thereof"
Two hundred and fifty thousand pen
MICS from the children Of the country
enter into Its composition. One day
at the Worlds Fair a little girl gently
pulled Mr.. Knapp's coat, saying.
please, mister, won't you let me put
my hand on the bell?" Mr.. Knapp
tenderly lifted the little one up, and
after placing tiny foreflnger on a
shining spot, she querled: do you
suppose my penny is right there"
Have you got a penny in the bell?"
asked Mr.. Knapp. "Oh, yes, it was
one my papa gave me, and he died and
l wanted to put 1t where no naughty
man could steal 1t, SO I sent 1t to the
bell"
Just then big bronzed fellow raised
his cane to strike the bell, and the lit
tie maid spread out both hands, cry
ing: "Oh, don't strike my papas
pennyw 81 want to hear the bell ring"
said the man. The child continued her
protestations until the westerner pick
ed her up and kissed her for the pa
triotlsm. The next in line did the same
thing, until over hundred people had
her in her arms before she was return
ed to her distressed mother AS she
clasped close the child said: ooh, man.
ma, have kissed all the people and
been all around the bell"
In the bell are $4,000 contributions
from battlehelds, keys from Jefferson
Davis house, pike heads belonging to
John Brown, silver spoons owned by ],
G. Calhoun, Thomas Jefferson's copper
kettle, widows mite dug from the pool
Of Betheeda, hinge from Lincoln's
home in Springfield. Whittier's pen
and George Washingtons surveying
chain. There are four quarts Of thin
bles and two quarts of wedding rings
in the Liberty bell. At the fair forty
seven old ladies reverently kissed the
great bell, and when Mr.. Knapp inquir-
ed the reason for the demonstration
they invariably responded, Because
have something exceedingly precious in
there" And then, with their dim
eyes full of tears, they would tell be-
tween their broken sobs how all alone
in the world, with no one to treasure
the wedding ring they wore for half a
century or more, and unwilling that 1t
should ever grace strangers hand,
they sent the slender loop of gold to
the Liberty bell, and then journeyed to
the fair hoping to press their lips to
the bit Of gold that the lover of long
ago slipped over their fingers on the
wedding day.

eventuated, 1t is reported, in a settle
ment, the main points at issue being
conceded the strikers. 1t was bloody,
ldisgraceful, and riotous affair, and,
with all such shocking struggles, points
unerringly to the weak spot in our gov
ornamental structure. Seemingly one Of
the penalties of liberty is that we can
not we'll coerce each other without dan
ger Of losing liberty altogether, other
wise compulsory arbitration might
