UNITED WoRkMEN.
Grand Lodge Of Maine Will Assemble
in Bangor on February 10.
Judge ind'sws Speaks Of The Present Salts.
factory Condition Of the Order.

Judge A.. q. Andrews. who is Grand
Recorder OF the Grand Lodge of Maine
A. o. U. W.. is busily engaged just now
in preparing a series of reports Of the
condition of the order for transmission
to the Supreme and Grand Lodges and
to the insurance department of Maine
He is making a monthly and an an
nual report to the Supreme Lodge, an
annual report TO the Grand Lodge and
one to the Maine insurance commits
sioners. From these reports 1t is learn
ed that the order is in most flourish
ing condition.
When the change of jurisdiction was
made in August" said Judge Andrews,
yesterday. there We're 6S13 members of
the order in Maine. At the first session
! of the Grand Lodge of Maine the order
changed from the level assessment plan
to the classified system. 1t was a radi-
cal change and it was expected that
many of the older members whose as
sessments were increased from 81 to
| 1894 would leave the organization.
Many did cease to be members and for
a time the number of suspensions was
very large. But it is different now For
every old man who dropped out we are
| now getting two young men to take his
place. Young men pay from s. cents
on $1,000 policy, upward each assess
ment.
Regardless of the fact that our
losses from this cause have been very
large we had on the 1st of January,
1902. 61S4 members. Our losses by death
were larger in December than in any
other month, but we feel that we have
passed the most difficult point and
from this out the increase will be rapid.
In many places the new members are
coming in so fast that the examna ton
papers are multiplying with great ra-
pidity. Last week 20 new members
joined the Bath Lodge and since jan
uary LIST there have been 50 new men,
bers secured in Caribou. Augusta is
also doing well.
There have been 400 medical exami-
nation papers. acted upon since the
Grand Lodge of Maine was established
and so more now awaits examination.
In the seven months Of 1901, prior to
the change in jurisdiction. there were
IA level assessments. We do not expect
that this year our assessments will ex-
coed 10 in number and may not go
above eight
The Grand Lodge will meet in Ban
gor on the third Tuesday of February.
in accordance with the vote taken at
the August session. At that time Judge
Andrews will decline to longer continue
as Grand Recorder. He merely took
the position in the first instance until
such time as the work of the office was
systematized and arranged in a
thorough manner. He now feels that
his work in this regard has been ac-
complished, as his clerks, Mrs. An
drews and Miss Greenleaf, are now
competent to attend to all the clerical
duties devolving upon the office of
Grand Recorder.

Club Notes.
Jewellers and Optici

In spite of the cold and snow nearly
all the club members were present at
Mrs Hobbs on Wednesday.
Current events were unusually in
teresting. Mrs. Tnbbs, who had the
program for the afternoon, gave Il
very fine paper on Frederick tho
Great and Maria Theresa. The
strange, brutal tyranny of Frederick s
father, and his own unhappy life as a
child and as 4 young man, were
shown to be extenuating circum-
stances, as far as the lack of honesty
in the dealings with Maria Theresa
Were concerned. Frederick owed all
his great characteristics to his moth
er. and Incidentally Prussia is in
dcbted to her for the sons contribu-
ton to the progress of Germany and
the world.

The miners made move in the
investigation last week that
was surprise to the operators. One
OF the latter was put on the stand and
asked as to the cost of mining coal
and the selling price. l.c declined to
answer. The intention was to show
by the testimony OF the operators that
the demand Of the miners for increas-
ed wages was reasonable when the
profits OF the business were consider
ed. BY refusing to answer these
questions the operators have given
the impression that they have some
thing to fear il their profits shonld
become known. The testimony so far
shows that the miners are worked at
starvation wages II will be interest
ing to note what kind of evidence will
be introduced to show that a dollar Il
day or less is sufficient to- support
and educated family in that region
where the men are compelled to- trade
at company stores where prices are
much higher than in other places.
