THE GRANGE
Conducted by J. W. BARROW,
Press Correspondent Ncw York State
GRANGE
ORGANIZING A GRANGE.

Look Well to the Charter Member
ship Roll.
Hon. Aaron Jones, master of the ma
tional grange, speaks wisely" when he
says:
Care should be used in getting good
charter members. They are the founda-
ton on which the future usefulness Of
the grange will rest. With good charter
members the grange will grow in num-
bers, in usefulness and influence and be Of
great benefit to the Order at large and Of
great advantage to it's own members. I'm
less you can organize a grange Of the best
men and women In the location where the
grange is to be organized do not organize
grange at all.
Every grange deputy should commit
to memory the last sentence above
quoted. This rule carefully observed
would save trouble later on. Lay well
your foundations in establishing a
grange. Your best citizens are none
too good. Organize we'll or not at all.
Objectionable men and women can be
kept out after the organization is form
ed, but it is often difficult matter to
prevent their joining as charter mem
bers. Use tact at this point. The dep
uty's responsibility just here is great,
but he should meet it unfinchingly

EMPIRE STATE PATRONS.

The Grange a Growing Power In
New York.
The yearly session of the New York
state grange in Syracuse made a very
pleasant and impressive revelation Of
the growth of the Patrons of Hus-
bandry in the Empire State. The re-
ports generally showed the Order to be
q growing power in the state. It is
not easy to understand why farmers in
all the states do not realize the value
of the grange as the promoter and pro-
tector of the interests of farmers, but
it is reassuring to note that intelligent
farmers are coming into the Order in
greater numbers than ever before. The
community that has live grange is
always a community in which intelli-
gence predominates, in which refined
society rules, in which education is
valued, in which scientific agriculture
is the rule and in which the rural folk
are seen at their best. New York leads
most Of the states in advanced country
life, and it is proper that the grange
should be conspicuous feature of ru-
raj life in the state. Members Of the
Order everywhere will be pleased to
note the growth of the grange in New
York.-New York Farmer.

Big Bosses ORGANIZATION.

A movement is on foot for the or
ganization Of employers throughout the
country for the purpose of counteract:
ing the influence Of the vast labor IN
lon interests. The magnitude of the
undertaking can hardly be oyeresti-
mated. 1t is designed to take in all Of
the leading employers of labor in the
entire United States, and not only are
strikes included in the general pro-
gramme, but the eight hour day, which
is so dear to the labor heart, is also one
Of the objects of consideration. 1t is
proposed to organize the employers on
exactly the same basis as the employed
and to fight fire with fire. The unique
idea Of taking the principles of the la
Dor organizations and reversing them
for use by capital has been under dis
cussion for some time. ;,

Possibilities of the. Grange.

Mrs Sarah G. Baird, worthy master
Of the Minnesota state grange, says:
The possibilities of grange work when
conducted in conservative channels
are limitless for the development of the
rural sections of our state, but impa-
tent, ill advised action will wreck it.
With great earnestness we ask. you to
appreciate the value of this organiza-
ton as permanent educational force
In our state and to consider with care
the risk that would be taken in any
action promoting any personal scheme
OF to crafty any tvindic tiye disposition,
for o;slong as: there is need of raising
men and women stos 9 i. higher moral
plane, SO long as there is need Of nobler
and purer social life, 50 long as there lis
need of better economic and political
conditions, so long will there be need
Of the grange. ..... :.

New jersey State Grange.

The New Jersey state grange was re-
ported at its last annual session to be
in f1ourishing condition. Total assets
were 500, 444.29. G. F. w. Gaunt of
Gloucester was reelected master for
the ensuing year. Oranges are doing
considerable business in cooperative
buying, the banner grange reporting
business of $4,000. These resolutions
were adopted: Favoring the appoint
ment of committee for the purchase
Of fertilizing material for all the
oranges Of the state, with formula
for the different crops and instructions
for mixing the same; asking the legis-
lature to make it misdemeanor to kill
calves for food under fourteen days
old; to allow trolley lines to carry
freight; asking for law which will
class all game on ones premises as do
nestle animals and subject to the same
laws. =

IR0NCLAD ATTACK s ::: 4: rs,
.,.' ?. 100. / ON FORT SUMTER t

Battery, Wagner by an electric wire.
The Confederate electrician in Wagner
said that he could not ask to have an
enemy better placed than was the Iron
sides for an hour over 1000 pounds of
pent up powder. He was even accused
of treachery for not sending her to the
bottom, but it transpired that the con-
Meeting wire had been cut by a heavy
ordnance wagon passing over it be-
tween the battery and the beach.
While the unmanageable 1ronsides
lay the play of the current Moultrie d.
rected all it's fire upon her. This was
answered by broadside, the only
shots fired at Moultrie. Meanwhile the
other ships ran their course up to the
distractions, opened fire upon Sumter
and only retired when the admiral
hoisted signal to retreat. 1t was then 5
o'clock p. m. When the ships reported
to the anchorage, the Keokuk was
found to be the worst sight of them all.
She was riddled like a colander, hav-
ing been struck ninety times in thirty
minutes. Her hull was pierced by thir-
teen holes, and her turret had been
bored through and through. Her gall
liant commander, Captain Rhind, came
forward bleeding and limping from a
wound received that day. He anchored
ship, but she soon went to the bottom,
Sumter's first victim. On all of tho
ships the mechanics worked the whole
night to repair the damage for a renew
al Of the attack in the morning. But
daylight revealed the fleets crippled
condition, and the battle was post
poned.
Next to the Keokuk the Weehawken
suffered most. She was struck fifty
three times and her deck smashed SO
that the water ran through, while her
armor hung in fragments and her tur-
ret could scarcely be revolved owing to
the dents of heavy blows. The Passaic
received thirty-fve hits, one gun was
disabled and the turret damned so as
to be immovable. One rice shot broke
eleven plates of the turret and upset the
pilot house. The Patapsco was struck
fortyseven times and fired but five
shots. The Nantucket was struck fifty.
one times and her fifteen inch gun dis
abled by a shot on her turret. Her tur-
ret was disabled. the deck cut up and
some Of her side plates left hanging SO
that a slight blow would knock them
off. The Nahant received thirty six
shots, and her turret was disabled. A

A BROADSIDE FROM THE IRONSIDES.
piece of iron weighing seventy pounds
was broken from the pilot house by a
shot and in it's flight struck down the
pilot and quartermaster, at the same
time deranging the steering gear. The
Montauk and Catskill were hit many
times, but not disabled. These two
monitors, with the 1ronsides. alone es-
capped the fury of the Confederate
guns. The Ironsides was hit ninety
five times, but with little damage.
During the battle there was no wind,
and the sea was smooth. The air was
full Of shot, and the balls could be dis
tinctly seen in their course with the
naked eye.
The historic walls Of Fort Sumter"
varied from five to ten feet in thick
ness. The ironclad fire damaged them
in few places, particularly on the
outer wall or sea front, where two
monitor shells from fifteen inch and
eleven inch guns struck together, max
ing a crater six feet high and eight
feet wide. In another place the para
pet was loosened for space of twen-
ty-five feet. The ironclads fired ISL
shots at the fort, and fifty-five hit the
mark.
Sumter's guns fred $40 shots, and the
surrounding batteries fired 1899. Out
of 1900 shots fired at the ironclads $40
landed on the vessels, and six out of
nine ships were practically disabled in
action. The vessels stood off 1900
to 1,400 yards from Sumter and a.
greater distance from the other bat
teries. The Federal shots were mostly;
ricochet shots, which glanced from;
the water over the fort and to the,
right or left of it The battle casual
ties on both sides were slight Five,
men were wounded in Sumter, four
killed and four wounded in Wagner by|
accident and one killed in Moultrie.

Don't Forget the Old Folks.
Nay, don't forget the old folks, bows:
they've not forgotten YOU.
Though years have passed since YOU were
home, the old hearts still are true.
And not an evening passes by they haven't
the desire
To see your faces once again and hear
your footsteps higher.
You're young and buoyant and for YOU
Hope beckons with her hands.
And life spreads out waveless sea that
laps but tropic strands;
The world is all before your face. but let
your memories turn
To where fond hearts still cherish you and
loving bosons yearn.
No matter what your duties are nor what
your place in life
There's never been a time they d not as
sumo your load Of strife,
And shrunken shoulders, trembling hands
and forms racked by disease
Would bravely dare the grave to bring to
you the pearl Of peace.
SO don't forget the old folks boys: THEY'VE
not forgotten you:
Though years have passed since you were
home, the old hearts still are true.
And write them now and then to bring the
light into their eyes,
And make the world glow once again and
bluer CLEAN the skies.

International For Hold Carriers.

A convention for the purpose of form
ing an international union of hod car
riers and building laborers, to be af6l-
lated with the A. F. of L., will be held
in Washington about the middle Of
April. This was decided on by Presi7
dent Gompers when in Chicago recent
~, and the Chicago men have promised
to start the union with 5000. There
is at present a national union of build
ing laborers, but it does not include
the large cities, nor is it. affiliated with
the A. F. of L. One of it's organizers
is now in this city trying to start q
local union, but is meeting with poor
success.

Serpent Worship In India.

serpent worship, once very widely
d1ffused, survives in India. Sometimes
when Hindoos find a cobra in some.
crevice in the wall of their house it
will often be reverenced, fed and pro-
pltiated. and if fear or the death Of
some one bitten by it induces them to-
remove it they will handle it tenderly
and let it loose in some field. When
Hindoos are bitten, they have far more.
confidence in their magic spell or
"muntra' than III any medicine, even if
they do not scruple to make use Of
medical aid.

Agricultural Studies.

National Lecturer and Governor n. ].
Bachelor, speaking of the Importance
Of the study of agriculture III the rural
schools, says: 1T is of vastly more inn
portance that pupils be able to name
and classify the plants and trees grow
ing by the roadside between their homes
and the schoolhouse than that they be
able to give the height of the principal
peaks Of the Rocky mountains, and it
is far more sensible to teach them
something about the composition and
derivation of the soil of the farm upon
which they live and which may be their
home during life than to teach them to
name the principal rivers in Hindustan.
To learn the usefulness of birds and
their correct names and something Of
their habits will furnish mental devel-
opment and information at the same
time that will be useful every day of
their lives. This grand movement has
already begun, and we will do our state
and nation a service if, as an organiza-
ton standing for rural development,
we are able to give the added impetus
to it."

The Grange Favors Good Roads.
The grange in some sections of New
York is becoming an important factor
in the good roads movement In one
county at least where the supervisors
had taken adverse action on the matter
of road improvement, the grange took
the matter up and created public SEN
timent in favor Of better roads, with
the result that at a special session Of
the board of supervisors resolutions
were passed unanimously in favor Of
improving the roads asked for by the
grange, the aforesaid supervisors, like
Brigham Young, having had "a revela-
tiOn."

Such WhiskRrs!

Think of a man with a beard more
than eleven feet long! Men with long
boards are seen in many side shows,
but it is doubtful if there is on record
a more remarkable growth of whiskers
than that of Vol Tapley, who is a. farm
er residing east of Mexico, Mo. Some
time ago, when he measured his beard,
he had his picture taken and carve the
photo to Congressman Champ Clark of
his district. He keeps his whiskers
rolled up in great'wad under his vest.
Tapley combs his whiskers by unroll-
ing them and placing the end in the
hinge of door, He then closes the
door, draws the wtiskers taut, and the
rest is easy.
Were it not for the fact that Mr.. Tap
ley is of retiring disposition and has
fine farm he would be on exhibition,
for he has been offered thousands of
dollars to go before thetpublic.-Ch ica-

The city of seville.

Seville is today as much Moorish
city as it was 300 years ago at the ex-
pulsion Of the Saracens. The arrange
ment and plan of the dwellings are the
same as on the Euphrates and Tigris,
but they are more beautified and emo
bled by art and by the wealth which
these Moslems in Spain and Sicily had
at their command. 1t is remarkable
fact that the Arabs, who in their native
land have never risen above the lowest
stage of civilization, but have always
been a nomadic, pastoral people, be-
came in Europe the bearers Of fknowl-
edge and refinement. Poetry and his
tory, mathematics, astronomy and ar
chitecture flourished with them when
the Christian west had sunk into dark
barbarism.
There is no more beautiful poetry
than their lamentations for Their lost
paradise of Granada, and in their en-
counters with Christian chivalEy they
often displayed a romantic valor and
generosity which served their enemies
for model.-Moltke.

keeping a Fashion Alive.

You have heard of people who kept
O. fashion alive by sheer holding on"
because of its becomingness to their
particular style of beauty. There is
danger of the hair and corsage now
obtaining a goodly lease of life if the
will of the average girl has anything
to do with the matter. The wide, fiat
hair bow is rather more in favor now
adays than the rosette style, but a
large assortment still awaits the wear
er's choice, and even the simulated
flower is not quite wilted yet. 1t is
subject, however, to many variations.
Many jeweled designs are chosen in
butterfly ferms-bespangled ostrich
tips, tufts of jeweled feathers and
novel rosettes touched with a few
bright gems.

SEWERAGE Rejected.

The proposition to authorize the
issuance of 100000 in bonds
for the construction of a sewerage
system for the city, submitted to
a special election on Aug. Goth,
was rejected by a vote of II to 76.
As it required a two-third vote of
the qualified voters to carry the
proposition, and the total register
ed vote is over $50, it will be seen
that it would have fallen short of
the required number, if every vote
cast had been in favor of it.
Though nobody seems to ques-
ton the growing necessity of sew
erage, our people are evidently
not ready as yet to incur the nee
essary expense.
Under the circumstances, the
Mayor and Board of Aldermen
will have to adopt the best shift
practible, and the kickers will
have no right to complain if it is
not all that could be desired.
