THIRTIETH ANNIVERSARY.
Sacramento Grange Celebrates the
Orders ORIGIN

Sacramento Grange. p. of H. yester-
day celebrated the thirtieth anniversary
of the institution of the order, a large
number being present
The morning was devoted to closed
meeting of the grange and initiation of
candidates, and after it was finished all
adjourned to the banquet hall up stairs,
"here the ladies of the grange had pre-
pared feast. And such a feast, Those
who have not attended a grange feast
have not yet found out to what a degree
OF perfection chicken pie can attain
ana nave still something to learn The
| sisters OF the grange have been practie-
ing the culinary art 10, these many
Years, and their hands are trained to
the making of many delicious dishes, of
which chicken pie is only one
The dainties We're thoroughly dis
cussed by all who had brought their ap-
petltes with them, and after they were
satiated an adjournment was taken to
the grange hall again, where an excel
lent literary and musical programme
was rendered.
w. w. Greer, Master of the State
Grange. in his address. spoke of the
enormous increase of membership since
thirty years ago seven farmers met and
organized the first grange. Now it
numbers its members by the hundreds of
thousands, New York State alone hav-
ing 100000 and Pennsylvania nearly as
many. He gave an interesting account
Of the work done by the National
Grange at its meeting last year, and said
that he found the different States were
working along different lines of grange
work
Pennsylvania and Ohio, he found,
We're working thoroughly along the line
of cooperation and had derived great
benefit from cooperation, both in buy
ing and selling, and their members are
we'll satisfied with the results achieved.
In the New England States, on the con-
trary, the work is along the social lines
Of grange work and regular pro-
gramme of education is being carried
out, attention being paid mainly to lit
erary and kindred educational matters.
Other States work along other lines, but
all in the road of progress. He found,
further. that the grange has won pro-
found respect of outsiders throughout
the East by its conservative methods
and its sticking to the lines on which it
was projected.
Following was the programme; Open
ing song by the grange; address by
Worthy Master George Burke; songs of
Seven by seven young ladies, Misses
Susie Birch. Ella Klotz. Gladys Green
law Meta Watson Grace KlotZ and
Carrie Collins; fancy dance. Edna and
Jrma Farley; address. Master of the
State Grange w. w. Greer; recitation,

After the regular programme other
members were called on for remarks and

such a one needs to follow the Con-
fucian advice which suggests that In
archery We have something IKE the
way of the superior man. When the
archer misses the center of the arget.
he turns round and seeks for the cause
of the failure in himself"
In matters of religion and of politics
is it especially true that many of US
do more harm than good by arguing
and perSuading. In the first place we
often forget that our opponent, however
mistaken he may appear TO US, has in
all probability fully justified to himself
his own line of action or belief. This is
true in relation to the financial follow
ers of the oldest vagaries, as well as to
devout believers in religion, pure and
undefiled. But forgetfulness of this
fact produces hates and distrusts and
cruelties and miseries immeasurable. In
a prolonged walking tour in Virginia
came across a peculiar sect in Chinco-
teaque Island Their membership was
less than hundred. yet they felt that
they alone of all the myriads ON earth
would get to heaven. Strange as it
may sound. they were quite sincere in
their Interpretation of the Bible, both

prior to the ''sanctification" of the par
ents, We're illlegitimate. | often recall
this experience to guard myself against
narroWness of view, and for my read
er's sakes / mention it here also.
And these poor people will serve to
point another moral. to the effect that
abuse is not argument. for they We're
driven from their homes with shot
guns, and still cling desperately to
their beliefs dowr in the swamps of
the Carolinas. Abuse by tongue may
not break bones, but it does not heal re-
sentiments; ranking sores bleed on un-
ceasingly when the human mind stoops
to abuse.
Finally. know what you do know,
and know it thoroughly. Know what
you do not know and hold your tongue
thereon while you open your mind,
and furthermore choose silence rather
than the proclaiming of it, the attitude
of learning rather than the pose of
prophet.

WOOLERY DISCHARGED.
Judge Hart Sets Aside His Convic-
ton in the Police Court.

The vagrancy case of A. II. Woolery,
appealed from the Police Court, was de-
cided by Judge Hart yesterday, who
made an order reversing the judgment of
the police tribunal in which Woolery
was convicted.
The chief point made in the appeal
was that the Police Judge erred in in
structing the jury that if the defendant
We're found guilty on any one Of the va
rious definitions of vagrant. as enumera
ted in the law they should find a verdict
of guilty. One of these declarations is
that a person who is the associate OF
known thieves is a vagrant.

In overruling the Judgment Judge

In overruling the Judgment Judge
Hart said on this point:
The court, in effect, told the jury
that if they found from the evidence,
beyond a reasonable doubt, that the
defendant was an associate of known
thieves, they We're justified in finding
verdict of guilty. Although the court
stated to the jury that the complaint
contained such charge, as matter of
fact there was no such aliegation in
the complaint, and there is no doubt
that the instruction quoted was clearly
erroneous and prejudicial to the de-
fendant 1t follows that the Judgment
