Lansing. Mich, Dec. 11-What with
the annual meetings of the state
grange and state associations of farm.
ers' clubs and the special session of
the legislature this week, the capacity
of the hotels and boarding houses of
the city will be thoroughly tested.
The sessions of the state grange will
commence Tuesday morning This or.
der has had a wonderful growth in
Michigan this year. just 100 subor-
dinate oranges having been instituted
The present meeting is of much i'm
portance in view of the fact that this
is the year for electing a new master
and other officers. The sessions of
the farmers clubs will be held at the
agricultural college, but the delegates
will have to lodge in town.

LEGISLATORS Assembling.

Lansing, Mich, Dec 12.-Legislators
are arriving to attend the spe-
cial session to convene Wednesday
noon. A canvass of those now on the
ground shows practically unanimous
sentiment that there is no emergency
warranting the session, and that there
will not be sufficient time to properly
consider the important tax bills to be
submitted. 1t is evident that no
canned" bill will be accepted by
either house, and for this reason a ses-
sion of some length seems ssured,
unless it early develops that nothing
can be accomplished. Personally every
member now here favors leaving the
entire matter to the next Legislature,
but whether they will all vote to do so
when the test comes is problematical.
There is not likely to be any attempt
made to censure the governor for his
pardons, although his action is gen
orally condemned by the legislators
and has served to deprive him of
former support.

Lived a Hermit's Life.

Kalamazoo, Mich, Dec. 12.-The
death of Mrs. Nancy Duffy, an aged
woman living at SIS North Rose street,
calls attention to the lonely life, al.
most that of a hermit, which she led.
She was found lying on the floor of her
house, dead. She was fully dressed and
heart disease probably was the cause.
Nine years ago her husband died.
They had no children and so she lived
alone. Mrs. Duffy owned the house
and lot but decided it to ST. Augustine S
church for a monthly pension of $40
during life. Last week she obtained
her December check from FIR. O'Brien
but it was found uncashed. She was
born in Ireland over so years ago and
had lived in Kalamazoo for so years.

OF United States Troops In China by

Washington, Dec. 11.-An idea OF
the strict discipline exacted of the u.

following general order Issued by Gen.
Chaffee. commanding the China relief
expedition under date of Oct s. 1900. a
copy OF which was received at the
war department Monday.
"All officers will take measures TO
assure themselves that enlisted men
of their commands are always in prop.
er dress and present neat and clean
appearance when leaving their quar-
ters TO visit other parts.
at has been noticed that many cam
paign hats are old and dirty. New
hats as well as other articles of dress
should be drawn if necessary and eff
forts made to preserve them in proper
condition. The hat or cap will not
be used to wear or carry any article or
ornament not contemplated
"rhe blouse or coat must at all times
be buttoned throughout. If for salts
factory reasons the blouse be not worn
the blue shirt must be buttoned
throughout, collar turned down. under
clothing concealed and suspenders dis
carded.
Especial attention should be paid 10
military courtesy to preserve the good
opinion the world now has for the
American soldier. Ofhcers and mol.
commissioned officers are depended
upon to maintain a high standard of
appearance, department and efficiency
at all times, and are reminded that the
precept and example which they set
is quickly reflected in their subor-
dinates, and every member of this
command who is proud of his country
is expected so to bear himself at all
times that the reason for his pride will
be evident.

directly into the gale. The steamer
was kept headed To LAe northwest an.
til Sunday noon. when the weather
cleared sufficiently to resume the old
course.
The vessel is a solid mass OF ice.
The decks are like skating Kinks and
the windows of the pilot house and

masses of water which the wind hurled
on board. The mates room is a total
wreck Capt. Zealand spent all Of Sat.
urday night on the bridge and he de.
clares that the experiences Of that
night were more severe than any he
ever passed through before.
