The Patrons of the Order in Pennsyl-
vania have Il sort of clearing house
for surplus produce, which is in charge
of Mr. s. b. Day of Washington, Pa.
He styles 1t "center of communica-
ton"
Patrons In any part of the state can
write to the manager of the central
bureau and give him the quantity of
surplus products which they have for
sale In their section. The central bu-
reau, being in communication with all
sections of the state, is enabled to in
form such parties where there may be
a shortage of like articles and place
them in communication with parties
desiring the things which they have to
sell. In other words, this bureau puts
the producers and the consumers in
communication with each other and
they then transact their own business
with one another.
There are numerous ways In which
such central bureau can be of service
to Patrons OF the Order and it seems
to be a most excellent idea.

Grange Literature.

The printed page is doing good work
for the grange these days. Not only
are the newspapers devoting much
more space than formerly to the
grange, but the state grange organ
izations, through the masters, lecturers
and secretaries, are preparing and dis
seminating grange information by cir
culars, pamphlets and bulletins more
widely than ever. This is well. The
Order will feel the beneficial effects
thereof in increased membership and
in a better understanding Of its prin-
ciples and Of what 1t Is accomplishing
for the farmers of the country. So far
as our observation extends, the Michi-
gan state grange leads its sister organ
izations in the effective use of grange
literature.

FEAST OF TABEhNACLES.

uS ltdSl vi ldDGIDdClCS WHICH
was observed by all Hebrew
families this week. beginning on
Monday at sunset and continuing
until Tuesday at the same time is
continuation OF the cycle OF sacred
days which was ushered i'll at sun
set on September FL, and with the
opening Of the Jewish New Year,
October I marked the observance
of the Day of Atonement. This,
the most solemn of all sacred DAYS
among those of the Jewish faith,
of both orthodox and reformed ten
depcies, was dedicated to fasting,
penitance and prayer, so that
through these might come a quick
ening Of the religious and moral
life. But with sunset Monday
evening began the Feast of Taber-
pacles, the great harvest festival of
Israel, whose hours are given to
thanksgiving and joy. According
to ancient custom, the festival ex-
tended through seven days, and
was followed by day of holy con-
vocation, sometimes spoken of as
an eighth day. Thus the present
cycle Of Jewish festivals will end
with Atzereth, or the concluding g
festival, OH October IS.
The feast of Booths or Taber-
nacles, or the feast of ingathering,
is heritage of the Jews of today
from the Israel of Moses. It's OBJ.
servance was commanded in the
time of the great leader and legis-
lator, and throughout the centuries
it has been regarded as the festival
to commemorate Gods protective
care over his people while in the
Wilderness and as a season of Joy
and thankfulness for the kindly
fruits of the earth.
Anciently, the festival fell, as
now, in the season of the harvest,
when the chief fruits of the ground
were gathered i'll, :he corn, the
wine and the oil. Hence, in EXC.
dus, it is spoken of as the feast OF
ingathering, which is i'll the end of
the year, when thou hast gathered
in thy labors out of the field. This
is implied in the name-the feast OF
Ingathering.
But with this commemorative
season is associated great histori-
cal event, which the Jews are en-
joined to remember during the cele-
bration of the festival and which
inspires its other name, the feast
of Tabernacles or Booths. Every
Israelite was commanded to live in
tabernacles during the feast's con-
tinuance. "Ye shall dwell in
booths seven days x * * that
your generations may know that !
made the children of Israel to dwell
in booths, when l brought them
out of the land of Egypt" reads
the law in Leviticus, wherefore the
name, the feast OF Booths and Tab.
ernacles.

PROGRESS IN FLORIDA.
Laws Passed by legislature Devot-
Ing Large sums to the Build
ing of Roads.

In no state of the union is there
greater enthusiasm among the people
for building good roads than in Florida,
and in no state has more good legisla-
tion favorable to road improvement been
enacted during the past year The leg
islature which recently adjourned en-
acted several general road laws Their
general purport can he gathered from
the following brief statement by Senator
A. S. Mann. who is state organizer for the
Florida Good Roads association:
"The general public at first glance will
not be prepared to grasp the importance
of the present good roads laws. The act
giving the internal improvement fund
to good roads alone in It's entirety in
lands and money bequeaths to the cause
not less than ten or fifteen million OF dol
lars In Florida, where material lie
abundant and cheap with little or no
expensive cuts or fills to make and sand
as foundation insuring perfect drain
age or readbed, an immense amount of
work can be done on this fund alone;
but couple with this the convict money
one-half of which goes into the general
revenue fund of each county. and may be
used on roads II the county commission
ers so wish, and the levy of a three-mill
tax on all values for same purpose, and
all will see that the power to make good
roads has been given without stint"
Another act Of the highest importance
sets aside for purposes Of road improve
ment the Indian war claims, the payment
Of which has been authorized by con-
gress. From this alone the state will
realize over half a million dollars.
1t Is an interesting fact that the aver
age swamp land fund and the Indian
war claims fund both come to the state
from the national government; and now
that the legislature has decided to use
them for road building they are virtually
national aid to road improvement. The
swamp lands were granted to the state
by congress about the middle Of the last
century. A large part Of the lands have
since been sold or donated to promote
railroads and other internal improve
ments, but there are still many millions
of acres Of valuable land from which an
immense fund can be derived all OF
which Is to be used for road building.
The roads are not to be built by the state,
but by the counties, each OF which will
draw from these funds In proportion to
the total assessed value of its property.
This Is not all the road legislation the
good roads advocates Of Florida want
A large and enthusiastic state good roads
convention was held at Gainesville in
July. Resolutions were adopted de-
manding the employment Of convicts In
road building; urging joint action of
counties in building through lines of
roads across the state in all directions;
pledging support to candidates for Of
fee who will work for good roads; de-
claring for cooperation with the Ma
tional Good Roads association In the
work Of organization; and demanding
that the national government aid the
states In the great work of building good
roads throughout the country.

THE STETsON "UNOLE TOM"
COMPANY.

A big feature and taking one
with pretty nearly all classes oi
theatre-goers is the old plantation
songs and pastimes by genuine
negroes, such as existed in the old
South on the big plantations in
Ante Bellum ti.les. Twas in the
evening, when the days work in
the cotton-felds was done, and
massa had gone to bed-in the dark
ened days of slavery, that the dusky
toilers were wont to gather around
their humble huts and there hold
high jollity under the pale light of
the moon. Almost true to nature
and tradition is the plantation
scenes presented by Manager Wash
burn of the Stetson Company in
" Uncle Toms Cabin" which is
booked to appear at the Grand
Opera House on Friday Oct. 9th.
All the old melodies are sung in
that rich plaintive voice so Pc
culiar to the Southern darkey.
Songs that our daddies sang when
they went to war and songs that
our mothers hummed as they rock
ed the babies to sleep. "The Old
Folks at Home" "Suwanee
River" Picking Cotton and
Stephen Fosters never dying melo-
dies will all be rendered by large
contingent of genuine plantation
darkies, male and female. A
Mississippi landing with the arrival
of cotton boat and the manner of
its unloading, also genuine buck
and wing dancing will be shown.
In the Stetson Company, a wonder
full exposition of life in the Sunny
South among the slaves is given.
1t shows the black man in his Joys
and his sorrows so realistically that
it is hard to imagine the spectator
is not actually on the plantation.
The evolution of the negro since
the late unpleasantness is forcibly
demonstrated in the great cake
contest, wherein twenty
dusky bellies and beaux vie with
each other to win the cake. The
cast of white artists with the COM
pany is said to be the strongest
artistically ever seen in this pro-
duction, while the parade and its
many novel features are, we are
assured, a revelation in outside dis

PAYS TRIBUTE
TO SALISBURY
KING EDWARD EXPRESSES HIS
GREAT BRITISH STATESMAN.

LONDON, August % king Edwards
tribute to the deceased Marquis of
Salisbury is given in the Court Cir
cular tonight, dated Marienbad, Sun
day. 1t runs as follows:
"The King has received with pro-
found regret the news Of the death of
the Marquis of Salisbury, and his
majesty deeply deplores the loss of so
great a statesman, whose Invaluable
services to Queen Victoria, to the King
and to his country, in the highest Of
fees of state, which he held for so
many years, will ever dwell in the
memory of his fellow countrymen"
Messages of coincidence are pouring
in at Hatfield House. The senders
include King Edward and Queen Alex
andra, the Queen of Portugal and
President Loubet Touching refer
ences were made to the dead states
man in the pulpits of almost all the
churches in the United Kingdom.
There were many visitors to the VIII
lage of Hatfield today. The Parish
church was crowded this morning. the
worshippers including Premier Bal
four, the Earl and Countess of Sell
borne the Marquis, sons and the mem
bers of his family and household.
PARIS. August 23.-The death Of
Lord Salisbury made a deep impress
sion here. Although the late states
man had retired from politics, the feel
ing prevails here that his disappear
ance viii contribute to strengthen the
position of Colonial Secretary Cham
berlain, which circumstance Is not
thought likely to promote friendship
between the two countries. The
ability, prudence and moderation of
the former Premier are frankly recog-
nized, though some of his sarcastic
utterances are recalled. 1t is acknowl-
edged that. while he firmly upheld
Great Britain's interests, at the same
/ time he always strove to prevent a
rupture with France, and it is admit
ted that the Fashoda incident would
have been far more dangerous had
any other statesman been in power.
