GRANGE NEWS.
by J. 7. Altman, Press Correspondent and
Secretary Pcnn'a State Grange.

The fact that the Pennsylvania
State Grange was organized 81
years ago and that it has held a
meeting every year since and that
it never was so strong in numbers
and SO well equipped in every de-
partment as it is to-day should con-
vince the most skeptical that the
farmers can organize and can MAIN
tain an organization.
Fellow farmer, read the proceed
ings of the sand annual session of
Pennsylvania State Grange, and if
you have not already done so.
come and join us and help the cause
along. We will do you good. We
will promise to bring to you and to
your home more sunshine, a broad
er and fuller life and with it all a
larger share of the wealth that you
produce.

BUDAPEST, A MODERN CITY.
What Has Been Done to Make IL
Rival of European Capitals.


Budapest Is composed Of the towns
being united as one municipality by
an act Of Parliament in 1872. The
city had a population of 100000 in
1881, and at this time mas more than
100000. This growth in population
would be remarkable showing of it.
In spirit. But what Is even more sug-
gestive of Hungarian advancement is
the work done in improving the city
and making It rival of the great
capitals of Europe.
Budapest had an ugly river-front.
The Government removed all the old
buildings, and, in reconstructing the
district, demonstrated what an attrac-
tive spot levee may be. All the
streets are repaved. Many boulevards
are established. New public buildings
are erected. and the old ones are gone
Old private residences and stores we're
torn down, and new ones stand In
their place. The standards made by
the municipal governments were ac-
cepted by the citizens, with the result
that there is system and beauty in
construction.
1t is said by travellers that Budapest
has been converted in about fifteen
years from an uninviting city into one
OF the most beautiful cities in the
world. And this chief city of Hun
gary Is typical of the national spirit;
1t is model among modern cities.
Hungary is coming to the front, as
any country must with city which
progresses so rapidly, and which, in
progressing, regards aesthetic ideals.

Michigan and Primary Reform.

The grange in Michigan is very ac-
tive just now over primary reform.
The legislative committee has issued
an open letter to the patrons In Michi-
gan upon certain issues in state affairs.
They are sending to every Pomona and
subordinate grange In the state ques-
ton blank, which Is to be forwarded
to each nominee Of all political parties
requesting that he fill 1t out and return
the same to the county legislative COM
mittee. When these are so returned
they are to be read In subordinate
oranges without comment. These ques-
tions bear on primary reform as advo-
Gated by the Michigan state grange.
In this circular to candidates the COM
mittee says:
1--WE expect positive and direct re-
plies. An evasive answer or failure to
reply within reasonable time will be
taken to mean that you are opposed to
the passage of this measure Upon the
character of your reply will largely de-
pend our attitude toward you"
Primary reform Is not partisan
question In Michigan, consequently the
grange, having pledged its influence
therefor, can advocate its passage.

A beautiful DeRree.

The sixth degree of the Order Of Pa
irons of Husbandry can only be con-
ferred by the state grange in regular
or special session. 1t is not usual to
confer this degree excepting at the an
nual meeting of state grange, but it
was done in Pennsylvania not long
ago A class of siXty-fve took the
degree. State Master Hill of that
state predicts that the time will soon
come when enthusiastic patrons will
insist on having the opportunity pro-
vided them near home for being In
vested with this degree so they will
not have to wait until the state grange
session.

Tale That's Told in Philadelphia.

Robert d. Carson of the Geological
Society recently made trip to New
York and greatly delights in telling an
experience he had with an article
which is now fortunately unknown in
this city-a horse car. Mr.. Carson
said that he was riding along in the
little dinky affair with several other
passengers when suddenly the car, in
crossing a switch, jolted the front
wheels off the tracks. Rain was fall
ing in an Industrious manner and al
most every one was feeling out of
sorts. When the wheels left the tracks
all the good humor left the car, and
every one was angry. After consider
able delay the conductor put his head
in the door and shouted:
Say, all youse people in de back
of dis car sit STILL and all youse In de
front come out and help put de car on
de tracks" Mr.. Carson and several
other men distinguished by the title
of "youse people" got out in the driv-
ing rain and pushed the front wheels
of the car back on the tracks. Then
the dinky little horse car with it's car
go of 'youse people" bowled merrily
along the streets Of up-to-date New
York.-Philadelph Press.

A SCHOOL PROGRAMME.
A Suggestion by the Lecturer of
Michigan state Grange.

At least one meeting during the year
Of every subordinate grange can prof
itably be given over to the discussion
OF the rural schools. There should be
an intimate relationship existing be-
tween the grange and the school. Pa
irons should feel special interest in
the work of educating the young, 80
many of whom make the district
school their only college. Every grange
should have It's committee on visitation
of schools, and this committee should
be composed Of the most intelligent
and progressive members. They should
know by observation just what the To-
cal school Is doing. whether its teacher
Is qualified not only but adapted to the
needs of that particular school Some
teachers never fit In nicely anywhere,
some fit everywhere. When there Is
mlsiit successful work cannot be done.
AS n rule, the average farmer or aver
age citizen, whether farmer or not,
pays too little heed to the management
aud needs of the school The progres.
sivc farmer and especially the progress
sive granger will find delight in this
work, and he will not fail to make It a
subject OF discussion in the grange.
The following suggestive programme
Is furnished by the Michigan state lee
turer, and Of course it Is merely sug-
gestive. 1t Will be varied to suit condi-
tions

The thirty-second annual session
of the Pennsylvania State Grange
closed its labors at Erie, Pa, on
Dec. I6, 1904. 1t was the most
largely attended and one of the
most harmonious and enthusiastic
meetings ever held. 600 accredited
delegates and over 1000 visiting
members were present.
The Secretarys report showed
that 35 new oranges had been
organized and IS dormant ones re-
organized during the year. 1000
new names were added to the rolls
of the Subordinate Oranges. The
receipts exceeded the orders drawn
by handsome sum and the Treas
urer's report showed the largest
balance on the right side of the
ledger for many year.

The Grange is both a conserva-
tive and an aggressive organization.
Conservative in that it makes no
radical demands. Aggressive in
that having once made demand it
keeps on repeating it until victory
is achieved. Believing that the
interest of the farmer would be
greatly promoted by their enact
ment into law, the Pennsylvania
State Grange through its Legisla-
tive Committee asks of Congress
that it refuse to repeal the Grout
Law, that it enact laws establish
ing the Parcels Post, Postal Saw
ings Banks, the election of United
States Senators by a direct vote of
the people and the use of Telegraph
and Telephone in the mail service.
Of the state legislature soon to
assemble, we shall again demand,
as of prime Importance, relief from
unequal and unjust taxation. We
shall also insist that Trolley lines
be given the right to carry freight,
that no pant of the ST. 900, ,ooo, 90
school appropriation be diverted, as
it now is, from the public schools,
that a single, sensible, secret ballot
law be enacted and that the Initia-

tees in nearly everv county

PLEADS GUILTY
Ed. Peary Gets Thirty Days in Jail for being
Drunk and Disorderly- Case
Will be Appealed

The trial of Edward Peary, charged
with being drunk and disorderly and
resisting an officer, was held before
Judge Palmer yesterday afternoon at
3 O'Clock.
The prisoner plead guilty and threw
himself on the mercy of the Court.
He stated that he had been working in
local restaurant the day before he
was arrested and had started drinking
there. After he left the restaurant he
had visited several saloons where he
had obtained additional liquor.
Marshall Schrader stated to the
court that when he took Peary into
custody, the defendant was standing in
front of one of the saloons using OBJ
scene language and that he was badly
under the influence of liquor. Upon
his arrest Peary put up violent re-
,sistance and was jailed with difficulty.
Owing to Peary's youth Judge Pal
mer was more leninent with him than
would otherwise have been, and gave
him Jail sentence Of 80 days.
Notice of appeal was filed by the de.
PENDANTS brother, Brent Peary.

of this fact reached Washington some
months ago, and Chief Wilkie was de.
tailed to make an investigation.
On the steamer on which chief Wilkie
returned to San Francisco, he was in
formed that Chinese had been found
who had a solution of adrenalium
chloride, which they applied to the
eyes of diseased immigrants just be-
fore arriving in San Francisco. This
solution drives the blood from the
eyes of the victims and makes it al
most impossible for anyone but an ex-

knows how many celestials have used
this solution.
