GRAND LODGE, A. o. U. w.,
Considering Asking for Change to Do
Business by Itself.

Grand Master l.. NJ. Staples of the
A. O. L. w. of Maine. has issued or
iers for a special session OF the Grand
Lodge. to be held in this city, Wednes-
day, Nov. is. In connection Herewith
the Lewiston Journal of Oct. II has
the following:
The Grand Lodge of a. O. L. w. will
hold a special session on Nov. IS. The
session is called upon the demand OF
the majority of the lodges in Maine
who are of the opinion that Maine
should break away from the Supreme
Lodge.
J. ]. Kennedy, the delegate appointed
to the Grand Lodge from Lewburn
Lodge of Lewiston. states that about
% members of the local lodge will ac-
company him to Augusta. The COM
nttee appointed to go with him is
tmade up of Past Master Workmen of
the lodge which number Is. Besides
these 10 other members will go to Au
gusta.
Mr.. Kennedy says that he is strongly
in favor of breaking away from the Su-
Irene Lodge. The Maine Lodge be-
cause of the excellent physical condi-
ton of it's members collects in fou
months enough to pay the expenses OF
the lodge; while the money collected
for the other eight months was used
in other parts of the country. The
greater part of the money was spent
in New York Pennsylvania and Cali
fo"nia.
The cause of the high death rates in
the lodges in those states is caused in
part by the bonus which the Supreme
Lodge offered to the Grand lodge getting
the largest increase in membership in one
year These lodges worked hard for the
bonus and as a consequence members of
poor physical condition We're taken into
ing felt and the burden is falling upon
Maine and other states in New England.
Mr.. Kennedy further stated that he be-
lievcd that certain Institutions had beer
seeking to injure the lodge by working
men into the Offices of the lodge where
bonus which was offered the Grand Lodge
procuring the largest increases in mem
bership was one of their schemes.
TIL. meeting at Augusta will be for the
purpose of determining whether or not
it is the sense of the Grand Lodge that
the Maine lodge break away and cstab-
lsh a lodge of its own. The other New
England states are already considering
this step and if they do the Maine lodge
will advise forming Il New EnT'A"f
lodge.

took the arrest quietly until the revolv-

came violent. and the trip to the station
was quite Il lively one. 1t is said that
the trouble between Daley and Chap

Daley coming out second best. Daley

fact that only the rats head was left

it is hardly probable that it will super

Deafness Cannot be Cured

by local applica lions as they cannot reach
the diseased portion of the ear. There is
only one way to cure deafness, and that
is by constitutional remedies. Deafness is
caused by an inflamed condition of the
mucous lining of the EuStachian Tube.
When this tube is infiamed you have a
rumbling sound or imperfect hearing, and
when it is entirely closed. Deafness is the
result, and unless the Inflammation can be
taken out and this tube restored to its
normal condition, hearing will be destroy
ed forever; nine cases out OF ten are
|caused by Catarrh. which is nothing but
an inf1amed condition of the mucous ser
vices.

MANY BOOKS FOR THE BLIND.

Helpful Literature.

Il went into the free library the 9TH

the Philadelphia Press, "and wandered
into the department for the blind. I
was amazed to ind the number Of
works It contained, and some inve5tiga-
ton gave me q lot Of very interesting
information.
Il find that there are about 100000
blind persons in the United States and
that the printing Of books for them has
reached such proportions that q bill
was introduced into congress q few
months ago providing that these works
shall 90 free through the malls.
More than that, learn that the gov
eminent has already made an attempt
to help this class by annually giving the
interest on S25O,OOO to the American
printing house for the blind at Louis
vile, KY. I have seen q statement by
Mr.. BoutsIl, Of Illinois, in which he
says that this yearly sum Of 900 IL
used for printing these books and dis
tRibuting them among thirty-tWo pub
lie and ffVs private schools for the
blind. The principals Of these schools
form . COMMITTEES which decides what
works shall be published.
"A dictionary makes Is volumes and
costs $50; q Bible II volumes for 81,
and an English grammar sells for so.
IT find also that there are three week
