 Connecticut State Grange.

The twenty-fourth annual session of the Connecticut State Grange was held in Hartford on Tuesday. The Worthy State Master, l.. II. Healey called the meeting to order promptly at 10 a. m. The session opened in form in the Pomona degree, and after the reports of the Pomona deputies had been made the meeting was transferred to the fourth degree. At the roll-call all res- bonded to their names except Ceres.
 The first active business after the opening was the reading of reports by the Pomona deputies and general de- puties. These reports showed that the l42 subordinate granges of the State had an unusually prosperous year.Sev- erai new granges had been organized, and there had been healthy incre ase in mem bership and interest in grange work, the average attendance being well np to the average of former years.
 Grand Master Leonard II, Healey of the State Grange delivered his annual address, which was quite lengthy, but was followed with interest by the pa trons. In 1t he spoke of the continued growth of the order, the importance Of the Lecturers department, the value of good degree work, the need of sup port of the Patrons Mutual Fire In- surance company, the value Of co-ope- ration, the value of education, the pro- gress of the Connecticut Agricultural College, the help given to the grange by the press, the helpfulness of juven- lie granges, the developing use of de- natured alcohol, the matters that should come before the Legislature, the loss to the Order through the deaths of Past NJ aster s 0. Bowen, of California but formerly of Eastford, Past Master DanielI Lamb of Ledyard, and o. C. Eaton of Ellington, and the important part the Order took in the Hartford bridge celebration last fall.
 The address was thorough presen- tation of all connected with the grange and the interests connected herewith.
 
 The subscriptions for the Italian earthquake sufferers come in slow, as though few in this part Of the State ap- preciated the magnitude Of the suffer ing that must be relieved by the eontri- buttons of charity throughout the world. Christ Church, Pomfret, made contribution of s20.32--which was taken up a week ago last Sunday. We hope to be able to make better showing indonations next week.

City court-Rus.eii. Judge.

Robert Brownie was before the court this Thursday morning charged with procuring liquor for H. F.. Ga- reau, whose name is on the black list. Gareau took the stand but was in 6 state of intoxlcation that rendered him incapable of giving the required an- swers and he was excused. His son Peter, who made the complaint, testi- fled that he was going home Saturday night he met his father ,and followed him to Joys livery stable. He went into nearby lunchroom and disguised himself by changing some of his clothing and came out and took posi- ton in the street where he could watch developments He saw his father and Brownie come out, his father handed something to Brownie, who went to the wholesale liquor department of the chickering House and came oat with bag which was delivered to Gareau on the floor of the barn. The son then followed the father home and when he reached there LOOK tne Dag, when con- tained five bottles Of fbeef, away from him. The man who does the Dottiing al the Chiekering House testified that ihe bottles and labels were similar 10 those used by him. After consulta- tion with his attorney Brownie changed his plea to guilty and was sentenced to pay fine and costs amounting to si9.s9. The judge stated that he imposed the smallest. fine pos sibIe under the statute on account Of the good character of Mr. Brownlie, who has lived in the ely the past thirteen years, and also because he had a wife and five children to support and his belief that the thing would mot oc- cur again.

 Los Angeles, Gal. Jan. |, l909. To the Committees of the Church and
 Ecclesiastical Society of the Second
 Cong'l Church, Putnam, Conn.,: DEAR FRIENDS:
 Your communications, recently re- ceived, in which you urge Us to pro long our stay here in California, and make provision therefor, was indeed Il great surprise. Seldom, if ever. in our
  ons and thoughtful consideration. In fact, the very kindness of your provi- sion makes Il difficult for us to follow your suggestions. Our hearts long to be with those whose generosity and nos bilIty place them among the elect of Gods people. Strange as it may sound it is harder for us to abide by your ad- vice and stay here, in this delightful climate, and enjoy the freedom from care and responsibility, than to come back to the rigors of New England winter, and take up the burdens and responsibilities of the pastorate. Hard as it is for us to do it, we feel that we ought to show our confidence in you by accepting your advice, and remain here little longer than we had planned. Will you not, however, al. low Us to assume the supply of the pull pit while we are away This Is the least we can do, but the little will help us to stay here with less reluctance. We cannot tell you, by any words we can write, of our appreciation of your love for us. We can truly say, that with Gods help, we will try to be wor- thy of your affection, and by caresul attention To physical conditions, fiji ourselves to return in service what you SO beautifully bestow upon us,
 Trusting the "Lord will watch be- tween me and thee, while we are ab- sent one from the other, and again thanking you for your generosity a.d kindness, We remain,
 Youfs in the Gospel,
 REV. AND MRS. F. ID. SARGENT.

Industrial School Training

Evidence of the practical value of in dustrial training in the public schools is afforded by the experience of Miss Rose A. Dowd with her grammar grade in Lowell. Last winter she found that many of the children could not come to school because they did not have shoes to wear. The teacher had asked for gifts of clothing from the public, and received many shoes which need cd mending. bat which were not worth the usual expense of such repairs. Miss Dowd happened to know how to eobble shoes herself, and started a class as part of the regular school work. The plan was success from the start, and in addition to supplying the demand for shoes during the school year she had nearly 2Oo pairs ready for wearers when the summer vacation began. Not only this, but three of the boys have gone into the business and have all they can to during their spare time. Miss Dowd declares that the so per cent ot pupils who go no higher than the grammer school should be taught something by which they can earn a iving:--
 have found many boys whose brains arc reached through their fingers, and the feeling that they are really doing something important, the value of which they can see, makes them self. reliant and confident. They study better after few minutes al the eobhler's bench.
