TIM NATIONAL GRANGE
Interesting Reports Before the Com
vention at Harrisburg.
RESULT OF EDUCATIONAL WORK.

National Lecturer Mosser's Report
Declares That Wherever the Work
Has Progressed Prosperity Dawned
Upon the order.
Harrisburg Nov. IL = The National
Grange, Patrons of Husbandry, con-
vened yesterday in the supreme court
chamber ON Capitol Hill. Almost all
the states represented in the national
body were in evidence through their
delegates. National Master J. II. Brig
ham. assistant secretary Of agriculture,
was in the chair. A committee from
the State Grange, headed by Repre-
sentative Pioletta, of Bradford, was re-
ceived and extended the greetings of
the state body. National Master Brig
ham responded in graceful speech.
George G. Hutchinson, chairman Of the
committee of arrangements, was also
introduced, and presented to each
member of the National Grange one of
the handsome souvenirs prepared by
DIR. J. T. Rothrock, the state forestry
commissioner National Chaplain Hale
responded.
The report of the treasurer, Mrs. E. S.
Mcdowell, of New York, showed the
finances of the order to be in salts
factory condition, with a larger amount
of funds on hand than the previous
year. Secretary Trimbles report show
ed 141 new oranges and nearly hum
bred reorganizations.
National Lecturer Messer's report in
part follows:
TN the face of hard times and de-
-
grange has moved steadily forward,
and the record of the past year not
only shows large gains in membership,
but gains have been made in all the
departments of it's work. In none, how
ever. has greater progress been made
than in its educational work. Where
ever faithful, persistent labor has been
performed by state and subordinate
grange lecturers prosperity has dawned
upon the order. There is an inspira-
ton in trying to do good, to make bet
ter society and better government, and
as the prospects for material prosperity
in this country are Frightening on every
hand, not only the lecturers and other
officers, but all the members of our
grand fraternal organization should
unite their efforts and with one accord
strive during the coming year to place
the banner of the grange in a higher
position on the battlements of truth, of
justice and of right. than it has ever
occupied in the years that are passed"
Auditor General Mylin made an adj
dress at the afternoon session on the
tax conference revenue bill question.
He thought it a matter of doubt as to
whether the passage of this act would
insure to the farmers the greater bene-
fits they expected to derive.
A public reception at the Opera House
began promptly at l o'clock today.
Governor Hastings made the opening
address. District Attorney Meade d.
Detwiler made the address of welcome
in behalf of the city of Harrisburg.
Deputy Secretary of Agriculture John
Hamilton, instead of Secretary Edge,
made the address of welcome on be-
half of the state agricultural depart
ment. State Forestry Commissioner j.
T. Rothrock made the address of well
come on behalf of the veteran and
military associations of the state.

WASHINGTON LETTER.
From our Regular Correspondent
WASHINGTON, Nov. 8, 1897.

Consul General Lee has received his final
instructions and will this week return 10
Cuba. He is as careful as eyer about dis
cussiDg Cuban matters, but there are good
reasons for saying that be is confident that
there will be peace in Cuba in few

his part that be agreed, when urgently re-
quested to do so by MIR. Mckinley TO remain
IN Cuba until the trouble WAS over.

$40, OLA names on the roll at the close OF
the last fiscal year, aud, unless death claims
an usually large number, it Is probable
that the million mark will be passed before
the close of the present fiscal year.
From all directions come complaints
about the tremendous rise in the price OF
almost everything, excepting the only
ar icle that more than half OF our people
have to ssll-their labor. An expert Says
of the effect of the Diugiey tariff upon the
price OF mems clothes :" A suit of clothes
that could be bought last year for SIS 90
cannot be duplicated now under $50 90
and that tact is an annoyance to dealers
and customers alike With men:of ample
means, who have their clothes made by
fashionable tailors IS 90 or $40 90 advance
On a suit is hsrdly noticed, and If noticed,
avoses no complaint. 1t Is very different,
however, with these who have TO be care
Iul in their expenditures, for to this class
IS 90 represents considerable sum The
aumber of men who buy $500 and $50 90
suns is largely in excess of those who pay
taIlors $4,000 AID $50 90 for a suit. and II
Is from the poor aud the middle class that
the kick against the DiUgley tariff is sure

Only Two Steps
To Christmas
November ushers in the feast
season of the year. Thanksgiving
next. Then Christmas.
There would be no Thanksgiving
bounty but for forethought sun
shine and rain alone make few
crops worth the picking. There
must have been planting and care
taking.
There can be forethought for the
gift season as well. Let it start
now.
Stocks are at full tide-greater
by third than at any Christmas
time before.
The charm of first pick awaits
earliest Corners.
1t seems odd to talk of "bargains"
at this time of year-tne storekeep-
ers' harvest. Merchants have made
you come to look for high prices at
this season. But do you object to
surprises? Here is ore.
We have bought out a maker Of
Sterling Silver Tableware
and Nicknacks
and now start the selling of the
stock-fine goods. Largely hand
chased-some beautiful pieces Of
repousse work in the lot. Then
hundreds and hundreds of little
pieces-bon bon dishes, ring stands
and what-not. There are quite
charming tea sets for $20.75 and
whereabouts. beautiful pitchers at
$50 and $25, as well as dainty lit.
tie pepper shakers at $1.25. Chill
dren's cups at 1925 and more, and
handsome fruit bowls at $3.50 and
$15-but pick where you will-you
never bought handsomely wrought
silver so CLOSE TO BULLION VALUE.
There are few duplicates, SO, of
course, early choosing has its adj
vantages. AND CHRISTMAS GIFTS
ARE EASY TO KEEP.

the conditions of the lock -ont in their trade
are set forth. The offer made to the strik-

say. is an advance of not quite per cent.
while the new tariff gives the manufactur-
eFs an advance of 40 per cent
" All we ask they say, is II per cent. in
crease or restoration on the part cut from
our wages. In the times Of the Wilson tariff
we voted for the new tariff and will have
the increase or will force the manufaci urers
to nail up their factories and we will build
new factories"
