Some Interesting Facts About the
Work In That State.

Some Interesting Facts About tho
Work In That State.
State Master Hadley, who is also
state senator, gave an admirable ad-
dress at the opening Of the state
grange session and said that the older
oranges in New Hampshire were be,
ing strengthened by many new &C
QUESTIONS, while new ones were being
established. Much credit for the work
which the grange is doing In the Gran
lite State is due to the excellent deputy
system which Is in vogue there. The
state is divided into thirty three sub
ordinate and two Pomona districts
Each one of the subordinate deputies
is required to visit each grange in his
district twice a year at least. He Is
thus enabled to keep in touch with
the work. both literary and degree,
which is being done in the grange, and
the results have been most satisfac-
tory.
Three questions simultaneously dis
cussed by the grange during the past
year were nature study, damage to
crops by protected wild animals and
the distribution Of railroad taxes. The
secretary reports membership of
1858 men and 14,416 women and that
the Pomona oranges have 1859 men
and 1896 women. Forty oranges in
the state hold property, and ffty-fve
oranges own their own halls

 It is useless to say that living is cheap in France, although it would be a perfectly true statement In a way. Many things are very cheap and good, but alas, it is a country of specialization and temptation dogs ones footsteps. One could eat the food piously if it were not that the better and the superlatively best crop up before one at every turn. Sup plying food in France is such an art that it arouses enthusiasm in the marketer's soul, and if once the fatal step Is taken and a work of art is purchased for dinner it is very hard to 20 back to the fare of ordinary mortals. However, barring certain lapses into awful gastronomic de- bauches, we lived on from s2 to S2.2O day. Fuel we found comparatively cheap and gas enormously expensive, compared with other countries.
 Our actual living cost us about s150 a month, including the rent but one has to allow a goodly margin for extras. It is little fun to be in the Riviera and not of it, and this means constant expenditure.

AN OLD FASHIONED NOVELIST.

Somehow or other Mary Jane Holmes had always seemed to us venerable monument of literature. In the dark backward and abysm of uncriticaI childish memory she stands or shines, vague and wonderful, an author, a maker of palaces of dreams. with the Arabian Nights, ' Keepers Travels" "Queechy." the "Lamplighter," Uncle Tom S Cabin" and "Dred" in solemn black -Jewett or Phillips. Sampson & Co -"Thaddeus of Warsaw" and the long Rolliad of Jacob Abbott. We can see just how ''The Lofty and the Lowly'' looked and smell the brown books of Gould and Lincoln. Reed, Ticknor and Fields, Redheld and Derby and Jackson.
 Then we can hear the Hopping of great clumsy ''novelettes" published by Eliot. Thoms and Talbot and feel on rainy Saturdays and any Sundays the joy of the New York Weekly, wherein many of Mrs Holiness many stories appeared. The Weekly was not a model of typography. but we will mai-tair against all corners that a more improving and virtuous pub licatior never was: yet there was a guilty t1- i- reading i'.
 Some 2.C5c.0OG of Mrs Holiness works have been sold: and they are selling still. and public libraries have to keep them in stock. We are glad of this even if we don't remember he name of one of her books To r.s she vill always be fount of lit- eTsture- and we vill bet 8 copy of

JAMESTOWN GREETS HUGHES
Governor and Party Join In Celebra-
 ton of New York Day.

Norfolk, Va. Oct 10. Governor Hughes, his staff, a score of members of the New York legislature, state off, cials and other New York notables, to- gether with more than 400 troops of the New York state national guard, participated in the celebration of New York day at the Jamestown exposition.
 Preceded by his military escort. MT. Hughes and his party arrived at the exposition grounds on the steamer Ma ryland, which had met the excursion train at Cape Charles. The special service squadron, consisting of the ar mored cruisers Tennessee and Wash ington, which will leave for the Pa cifc on Saturday, lay to starboard of the Maryland's course. and the mem bers of the crew of the TSnnessee, who were on deck, gave Governor Hughes a hearty cheer as he passed. This the governor smilingly acknowledged by raising his hat. At the government pier he was most cordially greeted first of all by Mrs. Daniel Mclean, president general of the Daughters of the American Revolution, and Mir. Sheppard. secretary of tLe exposition company.
 The handsome New York state build ing had been placed at the disposal of the governor for quarters during his visit here by its popular hostess, Mrs. Henry, wife of Adjutant General Hen Y of New York.
 Governor Hughes escort from the pier to the building consisted of 2IS men and officers of the first battalion of the Twelfth regiment of New York, commanded by Lieutenant Colonel G. W. Houston, with Major N. B. Burr as second in command, and by 120 mount ed men of Squadron A. under con- mand of Major o. B. Bridgman. Four troops of the squadron were represent ed in the detachment. Companies A. c. and K were represented in the in- fantry detachment.
 Soon after arriving at the New York state building. fragrant with decora- tions of golden rod and a white flower peculiar to the exposition grounds, Governor Hughes, with his military secretary, Colonel George c. Tread well. took a walk around the grounds. The governor was much impressed with the improvement in the appear snce of the exposition since his last visit here.

President Roosevelt in his speech at the tomb of Mckinley, dwelt upon the hatred and envy of the rich With all due respect to the president of the United States, there is but little such feeling in the hearts of Ameri- can citizens. There is, however, a strong feeling against the predatory rich, that have plundered right and left, and a universal demand for their punishment where they have dis obeyed the law and this feeling has been heightened by the Immunity granted by the president and his ad- visers in particular instances.

It is a safe assertion, says an ex- change, that a majority of the sen ate is in favor of tariff revision and it is entirely possible that a major ity of the house is of the same opin- ion. although it is a difficult task to ascertain the views of q majority of the lower chamber Majority rule in the house of representatives is a thing of the past, save in theory. The speaker and few men of his choos- ing, not more than three or four, con- trol the actions of the house with des- potic sway. and it is rare indeed for the majority to secure an opportun- ity to express itself on any question of real importance. Of course in theory the speaker is selected by the popular vote of the members and no man can be speaker who does not con- mand the support of a majority of the majority party. In fact. however, the speaker. as the dispenser Of com mittee places. builds up a machine which he absolutely controls and few men who have once secured good list of committees and especially a chairmanship of an important com mittee. will risk their position hy quarreling with the speaker.

Speaking of the big guns of the army and navy, some remarkable pro gress has been made in both arms of the service in the shooting of these great weapons. Only two per cent of the shots fired at Admiral Cervera's fleet hit the mark, while now naval gunners often make 60 and 70 per cent of hits as similar ranges, that is at from 1900 to 2,O0O yards, while army gunners. who formerly fired at targets only 2,O00 yards away and then made only 50 per cent of hits, have recently made 100 per cent of hits at 5000 yards-not feet, but yards, 27,OOO feet.

$1O0,O00 Fee Given to a Physician.

Chicago, Oct. 10.-A jury rendered a verdict against the estate of the late Mrs. Harriet G. McVicker in favor of Dr. L. c. H. Ziegler for $1O0,000. Mrs. McVicker was the widow of James H. McVicker, theatrical manager of this city and for many years the owner and manager of McVicker's theater. The testimony showed that she made a contract with Dr. Ziegler to give her his exclusive attention during her life.
