Manchester Grange.

There is this winter a largely in
creased interest shown in Manchester
Grange, and consequent addition to
its membership list. At a recent meet
ing AZ applica tons for admittance were
acted upon. and first and second de-
2rees were conferred at the regular
meeting March 5th. There are many
others who have expressed desire to
become members.
The meetings of this grange have
heretofore been held in the southern
part of the town, quite distance from
the center. but recently they have
voted unanimously to hold future meet
ings at The Forks. so as to accommo-
date the residents of this town and
East Winthrop. many of whom wish to
join the grange. At the annual town
meeting the free use of the town hall
was voted to the grange. The expense
of lighting and heating will be borne
by the grange.
We hope in the near future to in
crease our membership to such an ex-
tent, as to make US if not the largest
grange in the county. at least among
the leading ones in size and influence.
This growth of Manchester Grange is
in line with the increased attention
which our order is attracting through
out the State at the present time, and
We do not see any indication of any de-
crease in the newly awakened interest.
The officers Of Manchester Grange
for 1897 are as follows: Master, f. r.

REED STILL LEADS.
He Will Have No Opposition
as Speaker Of the House.
A Little Gossip About Mrs. Cleveland
and the Way She Dressed.
President Mckinley Said to 30 Interested in
the scovsl Case.

Washington. March 9.---tSpeciaD.--
Now that the official call for tho meeting
of congress in special session has been H.
sued by President Mckinley, gossip il rife
concerning the speakership nominations Of
the two parties In the house Of representa-
tives. Among the Republicans there is
but ono candidate. Mr.. Reed will have
no opposition. 1t is true that there has
been great deal Of dissatisfaction with
the speaker on tho part Of Republican
members during the past session, growing
ont Of his persistent refusal to permit the
passage Of bills which in their aggregate
cffecs might constitute a raid upon the
treasury. Many Of these dissatisfied men
would be 9isd enough of a chance to en-,
roll themselves under the banner of anoth
err leader. While they admire Mr.. Reed
very much for his ability and his wit, they
would be better content to have in the
chair speaker who viii not try to man
age the business OF the house, but viii
leave that to the house itself.
Let Ia Have Peace.
But there is no leader to stand up
against Mr.. Reed. No one cares to make
a race in the face of certain defeat. The
suggestion has been made that General
Grosvenor Of Ohio or Mr.. Hopkins Of Ill.
nois would make good rival for Reed
But so far neither Of these gentlemen has
indicated any willingness tobe considered
in the hands OF his friends On the con-
trary, both say emphatically they will not
stand rs candidates, and that they are foi
Reed If either Grosvenor or Hopkins
t.x< L.. he hA 20
suit would probably be faction war be.
tween the friends Of Speaker Reed and
those of the administration. Both Gros.
venor and Hopkins are original Mckinley
men, and the candidacy of either OF them
would be taken as signal for war. Prcsi
dent Mckinley probably would not permit
any special friend OF his to stand against
Reed, if he were able to prevent it. The
president wants no wars. He is q man OF
peace, and proposes to have it.
Some of Mr.. Reeds intimate friends say
he would not be aversc to a struggle fcl
the speakership nomination of the new
congress. He doesn't caro- much for the Of
fee anyway, though he has no doubt OF his
ability to heat any one that should run
against him. If Grosyenor or Hopkins or
another were to happen to win the prize
away from him, Mr.. Reed would not feel
very bad He could then take his place
on the floor, where he no doubt would be
able to have great deal of fun. 1t is wills
pered that some of the ambitious Republic
ans of the house might he induced to run
against Reed il they were assured they
could not win. They dread the speakers
presence as a free lance upon the floor.
Mr.. Reed will be his own successor with
out u struggle.

there is quite a competition for the empty
honor Of posing as the party candidate fol-
speaker. Two or three able gentlemen are
already in the hunt. Conspicuous among
these is Mr.. Richardson of Tennessee and
Mr.. Bailey of Texas. The latter was few
years ago the baby of the house, . but he
is now quite veteran, so rapidly does
time pass. 1t is difficult to tell which il
ahead at this writing. A dark horse who
may beat both of them out is our old
friend, .'Silver Dick" Bland of Missouri
The gossips have it that Mr.. Bland is the
Bryan candidate, or at least the choice OF
that wing of the party which favors the
denomination of Mr.. Bryan in 1900. The
only advantage of practical sort in the
Democratic nomination for the speakership
is that it carries with it the right to be re-
garticd as the party leader upon the floor.
Now that Mrs. Cleveland has left the
national capital for her home in Princeton,
n. j., it will do no harm, perhaps, to tell
u little story concerning her. l give it
upon the testimony of one of the women
correspondents of Washington, a member
of that corps of society writer's who, from
long experience, know all the ms and outs
of high life at this capital. when Mrs.
Cleveland first came to Washington as
bride" said this society writer, ''she was
young and rather new. She was beautiful.
indeed, and as gracious as she was pretty.
But she did not know how to dress herself.
What do you suppose she wore the first
time she held a reception in the White
House? A thick plush of a reddish color.
1t made her look like sofa done up in

civil war. A colonel in an Ohio regi-
ment was in command Of district Of
North Alabama. within whose lines the
family OF confederate officer resided.
Sometimes the bold confederate would
slip through the lines, undiscovered, and
visit his family. On one occasion he
was discovered by some one more de-
voted to the union than his personal
welfare. Information was given to the
colonel commanding the district, who
took half-dozen of his men, and under
cover of night went to the house to cap
ture his confederate foeman. Arriving
at the house, he rushed in the door,
pistol in hand, and found the confed-
crate soldier in the midst of his family,
his pistol and belt lying upon the bu-
reau and within reach of his daughter,
a beautiful girl of IS summers. In an
instant she grasped her fathers pistol
to shoot in defense of her fathers per-
son. The colonel sprang forward and
seized the pistol in her hand to disarm
her. Not being Spaniard, it never
entered his mind to shoot her. In the
struggle her pistol fired, and she was
shot through the hand, hut her father
succeeded in making his escape. The
gallant officer returned in few days
to see about that wounded hand He
came again to express his profound re-
erets for that wound, and again and
again to hope for its early recovery.
He did not stop coming till he carried
that hand of with him, clasped in his.
1t is his hand now, and has been for
30 years, Around that family hearth
stone there stands group of noble
sons, half Yankee, half southern, but all
Americans. We did not shoot women
and children. We did not shoot pris-
oners in our great civil war;"
Soon after the senator concluded his
speech | met him and inquired regard
ing the identity of the Ohio colonel and
the fair Alabama confederate. He told
me he referred to an incident in the
lives of Col. S. W. Fordyce and his ac-
complished wife. Col. Fordyce Is the

railroad, and is known and loved from
