immigration, and none but operative
American mechanics were admitted to
membership
On the 18th day of Nay, 1853 Reli-
ance council No. 40 of tie o. u. A. NJ
organized a council of young men be-
tween the ages Of 16 and 81 years for
the purpose of preparing them for
membership in the parent Order United
American Mechanics. The Civil War
almost obliterated the order, but on
the 30th day of September, 1869, the
National council of the Junior Order
United American Mechanics was or
ganized. Several years afterward the
order severed it's connection with the
o. u. A. M. and is now separate and
distinct organization.
We have at present over $500 coun-
ellis in the United States with total
membership Of about 225. 900. State
councils are in active operation in all
the states and territories.
The state cOuncilsof California was
organized on the 29d day of February.
1894, and has extended all over the
state.
The order has now national home
for the care and education of the or
phans of deceased members at Tiffin,
Ohio. This home represents valuation
of over 100000. In this home we edu-
cate and rear the children of deceased
members of our order and fit them for
life of usefulness.
1t has been in operation only a few
years, yet L., little ones have found
their way to 1t. What better cause can
men engage in than educating orphan
children?
The order has taken an active inter-
est inIlegislation to restrict immigra-
ton and to improve our public school
system. We have been instrumental
In passing laws in the states of Penn
sylvania and New Jersey providing
that the children ATTENDING the pub
lie schools of those states shall be fur
nished with their text books free of all
cost. AS result the attendance at the
schools has increased over 20 per cent
in a short time.
We have presented pver 5000 Ameri-
can flags to the public schools through
out our land, and are still actively en-
gagged In that work. We are determined
that "our flag" shall float over every
schoolhouse in our country.
Objects of the order First, to main
tain and promote the interests of
Americans and shield them from the
depressing effects of Unrestricted inmi-
grafton; to assist them In obtaining
employment and encourage them In
business
Second, to establish an insurance
branch and sick and funeral fund.
Third, to uphold the American public
school system; to prevent interference
Herewith and to encourage the reading
of the Holy Bible therein.
Fourth, to promote and maintain
national orphans home.

A Story of Suffering.

A woman walked from Rockville to Camden
on Saturday, and applied to the selectmen for
money to get her to Searsport, where she had
relatives. With her husband, the woman had
been living in a camp in Rockville, and ac,
cording to her story, had been terribly abused
by him. The first selectman, Mr.. j. c. Hobbs,
gave her the required money and the woman
Started on her way On Sunday the man start
ed after her and passed through this place. A
man who had been cunning in the vicinity OF
their habitation describes the hut as small
affair, having been originally built for horse
A few crusts of dried bread were the only artl-
cles of food in the tiny cupboard, and the room
was hardly large enough to shelter an animal
The woman certainly deserves the pity of all
while-wel we haven't heard the mans story,
and will reserve .judgment.-Cam Core

devoted husband, loyal citizen and friend
to everyone in need. He was outspoken and
frank, never leaving doubt as to what his
opinions were on all topics under discussion.
He will be greatly missed in the village where
he had lived so many years.
Now for him there is no sorrow;
Now for him all struggles cease;
Now for him all cares are ended;
He has won a glorious peace.
MRS SUSAN J. FLYE
