THE STATE GRANGE
Adjourns Annual Session-Several
Places After Next Session.

Portland. Me-, Dec. 19.-One of the
important resolutions passed by the
Maine State Grange, Thursday, was
that which recommended normal
school for Aroostook county. National
Master Aaron Jones of Indiana, gave
a decision on a much discussed point,
that the minutes of a subordinate
grange must be read at the close of IA
meeting and at the opening of the next
meeting before any action may legally
be taken. Many reports were read by
officers ana committees.
At the afternoon session, Worthy Ma
tional Master Jones made extended re-
marks which were followed by a memo
rial session with an appropriate pro-
gram. The death record for the year
was remarkably small considering the
number of members in the organiza-
ton. Only two have died since the last
session.
The remainder of the afternoon ses-
sion was taken up with the reports of
committees and deputies.
In the evening n musical and literary
program afforded much pleasure.
Master Gardner then gave the clos
ing address. being given a white salute
as he closed. Mrs. Gardner also ad-
dressed the Grange, wishing them all
a Merry Christmas and a Happy New
Year. Mrs. Gardner was also given a
white salute.
The records were then read and APP
proved and the next session was duly
closed in the fourth degree.
The place of the next session has not
been settled upon, being left open until
next spring. at which time the eXecu-
tive committee VIII decide upon 1t.
Hallowell. Bangor. Augusta, Water
vile and Auburn are all anxious for
the session and each of these places
sends substantial Inducements for the
State Grange to meet with them.

IN A DUEL.
Son of the Late Cuban Patriot Garcia
Is Wounded.

Havana. Dec. 19-The well-known
Cuban Colonel Mario Garcia-NeleZ, the
youngest son of the late Gen. Calixto
Garcia. who had been named by Presi-
dent Palma to fill an important con-
sulate in Europe. fought a duel recent
~ with member of Sienni's Italian
Opera Company: was wounded rather
seriously and has been compelled to in
definitely defer his anticipated depart
ure. The decree by which Gen. Wood
estopped duelling in Cuba under the
government of intervention is still upon
the statute books; but, since the repub-
lie of Cuba was installed, it appears
to be q dead letter.
AS to bull fights, however, their day
in Cuba closed with the withdrawal of
the Spanish flag from old MORO Castle
at the entrance to the harbor of Ha-
vana. on Jan l, 1899, at high noon. Yet

The first witness said that member
of the Miners Union threatened to kill
him # he did not stop working and
finally shot at him. The offender was
sent to prison.
The next three witnesses were John

working at the upper Lehigh colliery

and the sons wife. They told how "A
crowd of strikers came at midnight to
harm the son who fled five miles to an
other town and how the crowd smashed
the furniture and attempted to burn the
house.
The next witness related how he and
his wife We're hung in efiigy in the

wife being of a most offensive charac-
ter.
Mrs. Kate Mcnamara of Persons. the
mother of four small children. whose
husband was in the mines and could
not come home for fear of bodily harm
testified that her home was DESTROYED
by fire at night and she and her chill
dren were rescued with difficulty.
Counsel for the miners called the
commissions attention to the fact that
the fire had not been traced to the
strikers, and objected to the other side
to bringing evidence of alleged violence
by strikers when they could not prove
it.
Chairman Gray said that while the
evidence did not directly connect the
strikers with the fire, the inference was
that the fire was most probably of in
cendiary origin. Other witnesses were
called prior to the noon recess to prove
that they were boycotted and other
wise intimidated. Counsel for the min
ers frequently objected to unsupported
testimony being presented
August Scheuch of Hazleton, who
worked for the Lehigh Valley Co.
through the suspension, testified that
he was attacked by a mob while he
and his son were going to work and
that he was severely injured by being
hit with rocks: that he was stabbed
three times and had five ribs broken.
He was acting as a coal and iron po-
liceman at the time. but did not use
his revolver because he was afraid of
hitting his son, who was being beaten
by the crowd at the same time. and
was badly used up. Many of these

to join the union by the superintendent
of the John o. Haddock Coal Co in or
der to keep peace at the colliery. This
was before the strike began. Later he
left the company because he thought
the union was running the place, and
went to work for another company
while the strike was on. He was hung
in eifigy, stones were thrown at him
while going to and from his work, and
storekeepers were compelled to remain
from selling his relatives the necessi-
ties of life.

Peruna is such a perfect specific for
each case that when patients have once
used it they can never be induced to quit
it until they are permantly cured. It
begins to relieve the disagreeable
symptoms at once. The backache|
ceases, the trembling knees are strength

made perfect, the dull headache is stop

ually cured. These results certainly
follow q course of treatment with
Peruna.
