CHRISTMAS.
Christmas ia creeping upon us unawares
this year. The weather does not favor the
holiday season, and the business depres
sion curtails the pleasure of gift giving.
The significance of the day however,
* will not be forgotten; the Sunday School*
trill hare their usual treats, the air will be
fall of musio and the happiness of almost
everybody will be increased.
Christmas stands for Christian sentiment
—peace, Joy, happiness, hope, brotherhood,
simplicity, good-will, lore—all that is
dear to man.
Let na all celebrate it with kindly hearts
and wish each other "A MISSY CHKISTHAS."
KIWI that the deadly work of cholera
still continues in Hamburg empbasies the
the necessity of taking rigorous measures
against its invasion of this country next
spring. What we need is a federal system
of quarantine at Hew York and other lead
ing ports, giving tbe national authorities
full power. Representative Brosious has in
troduced a bill to this effect, naming New
York, Portland, Boston, Philadelphia and
Baltimore for national quarantine. This
measure, judging from the summary suppli
ed from Washington, requires modification
in several important particulars. But the
essential idea of federal quarantine control
is one which should be carried into execu
tion.

open letter to his colleagues of the Legis
lature, favoring Geo. 8. Graham, the pres
ent District Attorney of Philadelphia coun
ty, and who spoke in Butler during tbe
Delamater campaign, for United States
Senator. The Press speaks of him as be
ing eloquent, able, forcible, and always in
demand in campaigns.
The World's Fair and Sunday.
A large number of prominent divines and
laymen, representing all tbe evangelical
cburchee, are attending the convention of
the Americon Sabbath Union this week in
Chicago. Tbe principal question before
tbem is the proposed opening of tbe World's
Fair on Sunday. The sentiment against
snob opening is very strong.
Tbe same question is engaging the at
tention of special oommittees in Congress,
and a strong fight will be made before
them to permit the opening of the Exposi
tion gates on Sunday.
As before remarked, there are two side
to this question, sod there seems to have
been more or less misrepresentation on tbe
part of thoee favoring Sunday opening
For example, it has been industriously cir
culated that the saloon and dive keepers of
Chicago are in favor of closed gates on
Sunday. Cbicago papers, notably the
Standard, tbe Preu, and the Interior, have
made a canvass of the saloons in this mut
ter, and their returns show the bar and
and dive men to be "nearly all in favor of
of an open Sunday."
The Catholio ebureb, wbich ia supposed
to learr toward the "Continental Sunday."
is by no means a unit on this question
While Cardinal Gibbons has favored tbe
opening of the Fair on Sunday afternoons,
with no machinery in motion, the Pitts
burg Catholic condemns the Sunday open
ing movement in strong terms. It says:
There is a renewed agitation to open the
World's fair on B unday with the proviso
that the machinery will not run. Many
plausible reasons are given but the right
and only one, namely, dollars and cents
—the swelling of the revenue*. It is
Mammon, nothing else. We trust there
will be such an expression of public opin
ion tbat better oounsel will prevail, and
the gates be kept rigidly shut. To cry
out "puritanical" should not avail. Ii
should not close our mouths to have it said:
"0! you want the New England Sabbath
in your Sunday." As between the New
England Sunday and the Cbicago Sunday
there should be no hesitation in choice
Long may it be before the noise of business
or pleasure shall brush away our quiet,
peaceful Sunday in the weary rouud ol
uys.

The Republicans have settled down with

alas! the Democrats are in sgony and
don't know what to bring forth. There
are not half enough Post-offices to
go around.and to make matters still worse,
the present incumbent who has long held
it under Republican rule has got some
Democrats who left their first love, to car
ry petitions around for signers to let her
still retain the affair. It looks now as if it
woald take those high in authority to de
termine whether th>j affair sball be kept in
a private house, a store or a wagon-maker

when tbe original owner of the land notifi

They then hired another teacher to put iu

Grange met at Enreka Grange Hall.
Dec. Ist, 1592. The day was somewhat
unpleasant in toe morning bnt still it did
not deter the Grangers from coming, some
a distance of fifteen miles, to attend the
meeting. The first session was public and
quite a goodly number who were not
grangers were present to hear and see
what was going on.
The address of welcome was delivered
by W. W. Brandon and the response by
R. C. Thompson. The question for dis
cussion "Does it pay to farm for gra?V
was opened by S. Nixon. He thought it
certainly paid this year, as hay was a very
good pricp. It was further discussed by H
Book, R C. Thompson, N. F. Bartley and
the llaster G. B. Turner. Some of the
speakers thought it paid to farm for grass
for the purpose of enriching our farms, as
the farms of Butler county are too poor at
beet, and the farmers are in the same pre
dicament, being unable to buy commercial
fertiliser.
Dinner was announced, and we as Grang
ers know how to dispense with tbe eat
ahles, the good sisters bad provided so
abundantly for the occasion and for which
a vote of thanks was returned.
After dinner Miss Lillie Kinser read an
entitled "Farmers Wives" which
was "well received. Question for discussion

speaker who spoke on this question, R. C

Sister Bartley read an essay entitled
"Women's Work in tbe Grange wbich was

WOMBU'B WORK II» TUB GRANGE.
Women's work in the Grange like in many
other avocations in life >s both
aud varied: important first because no so
ciety is really complete without the pres
ence of women; therefore women should
always adorn the Grange with their pres
once so far as practicable. The cause ol
the failure of so mauy magnificietii
schemes socially, religiously and political
ly which have followed eaeh other fron
ige to age have been this: tuat, in almosi
every case they have "ignored the rights
and privileges of one half the race
—namely women. Bretbern and sisters.
I firmly assert tbat society will never g •
right, religion will never go right, yea
and politics will never go right, only as far
,ts women go right. And iu order thai
women may go right they must be iu theii
right place and have their rights Women
in tbe Grange are equal with tbe men iu
every respect they are eligible to office,
have their right to vote, have the right to
-peak on any subject they please, and
lave the opportunity if they exert their in
Huence of doing great good. I know they
meet with opposition and with those who
say tbe man is the head and has all the
power. We meet such persons on their
own ground, we allow tbem the privilugi
of saying the man is the head but natural
enough if tbe man is the head the woman
must be the neck and has the ueck not go
the power to turn the head about at wilh
Ab! Women of the Grange your influence
for gc nl or evil is unlimited .Study w«d'
vour part and if you see a brother going it
rhe wrong direction you have the power to
r nru him around. I know there are in
stances where stiff necked men stand uj.
m all their dignity and exclaim it inu*t be
• hus and so. And then on the other band
we baye weak minded women who will sue
numb to all the petty notions of men; now
these are the extremes; but all over thi
broad land of ours we have men of reason,
and women with master raiuds.
Women of tbe Grange, when you find »
stiff necked, obstinate man, cast not your
pearls before swine. Women of the Grange
should, so far as practicable, inform them
selves upon ail the current subjects of the
day. You may hold to tbe idea that owing
to the many little duties iucidetit to farm
life you do not have the time to read thai
you should or would like to have, re
member, if the muscles aro kept in cou
stant motion, while tbe mind is left to run
at will, there is apt to be a reaction some
where; let the body rest, if but. tor a short
time and set the mind to work; have books
aud papers at hand, and if you can oul>
read a few minuses at a time, let yoji
mind run on what you have read, and
while you ply your hands at any chore that
you can conveniently refer to your book or
paper you will be surprised at the end ol
the day or week how much knowledge yon
have gained. Learn to economise time;
study your work so that each chore fits io
where it really belongs. The true matron
unlike ber city sister is never guilty ol
killing time. They that bave nothing to
do with time but kill it had better die in
nocent of the murder. The women of the
Grange should endeavor to build up, i : -
prove und eutertaiu in one and the same
hour, that seems the true function of the
Grange. There i* nothing fuuuier than
some tacts and nothiug more entertaining
than to hare the jewels presented iu thai
velvet casket called the art of putting
things. Tbe lump of coal so black and
dul' in one hand—in the hand of auother
turns to a brilliant. Tbe tales Shakespeare
worked ou were old and dead; but how he
conjured tbem into a living immortality,
and su facts, truths aud theories that are
public morphine in oue speaker's hand,
vitalize public bead and heart with the
tonio of humor when touched by the wanrl
of tbe right one. Mere amusement soon
grows wearisome to most people while" a
happy combination of the two-amusemsut
aud iustruction will prove a lasting attract
ion ai d satisfy a variety of tastes. To be.
sure all cannot write a treatise on political
ecouomy or the probable fate of monamiiy
iu tbe old world; aud it is more than likely
that the great majority of Grangers would
not be particularly edified by such papers
but on the contrary would care far more
for some less erudite theme. Women of the
Grange should bave for their motto "Cor
dials dispensed her»"' —old aud young,
rich aud poor, are all in need of cordials.
Women of tbe G'ange should bave a full
supply of this curative agent and try tr.
satisfy the demand. A cordial increases
tbe action of tbe heart, raises '.be spirits,
gives life and cheerfulness, comforts, gla<l
dens and exhilirates. A merry heart doclh
good like medicine, it attracts and helps
more than any other trait or characteristic.
A hearty word of cheer, u warm grasp of
the hanil, a kindly, Iriendlv. affectionate
look will win and bless Whoever gives
or gains tbe natural product is the best
but even cheerfulness can lie created, the
manufactured article is better tbau none,
and if carefully manipulated the heart will
soon turn oat the natural thing itself. We
all like p»wer aud there is no power that
equals tbe strength ot cordial looks and
words. Tbey raise souls from the pit of
despair and fear to the heights of hope and
joy. Smiles have lilted many a burden;
driven many u dread away and imporied
many a joy into the harbor of tbe heart
Cordials are easily administered, sale and
plvMant, aad gtro speedy evidence of their
the product and happiness the finished re
sult. Cordials bring flashes from the ere,
light up the corner* of the heart and pnt
rainbows in the soul. Pnt away the sneer,
drop the sarcasm, and avoid the unkind
word; nse cordial-i instead. and th- re will
be continued sunshine in the soul. Cordials
make the heart grow large and pure;
cordials clarify and sweeten and under
their influence the crnst of worldy care
breaks from the heart; crustiness disap
pears and the good in each is seen Wo
men ol the Grange whatever you do or say
do it all in the red. white and blue of a
Christian Smile.

THB FARMERS' WIFE.
power. Smiles are the material gladness.
Perhaps you think that this is an old.
worn out subject,but let that be as it may
I deem it one of the most important to us
as a Grange, as the order is composed al
most wholly of farmers, and their wires
and daughters.
I think you will all agree with mo that
the farmers' wife has a most cruel lot I
do not, nor do I think it needful, for rae to
enumerate to this honorable Grange all of
the hardships, toil aud dridgcry, that she
has to undergo; and in a great measure
never complain of. Sometimes we find
husbands who do not seem to realize wha'
a great responsibility re-ts upon their
wires who in many cases don't have the
privilege of leaving their humas lor a
day's rest, for weeks and sometimes
months. But. is it not in a meagre the
wife's own tault,. if she -does not tske the
opportunity to improve this state ol affair-?
As she gl inces over the colomas of the
newspaper and read.t of the late t
society' event of the season, of the fine
dres-es and costly apparel of the most pop
ular ladies she is" very apt to throw the
paper down witl a sigh and perhaps think
to herself that if 3be had not married a
fanner she might have been having a go.»d
time too, without pausing to consider what
our country wojld have been to-day bad
no one married farmers. I might ask you
what constitutes true society. Is it not the
gathering together of people who find
pleasure in eaeh other's company? Where
scandal is unknown, and where good
breeding is tbnugnt to be of greater worth
than fine gownst
Then: is no reason why we cannot hav
a- gou< 4..ciety here in the country as el-«
where, ami it lies in the power of the farm
er's wife to make it such As a rule she
lacks sociab.lity to a certain ex ent. What
woman cannot take time to give an after
u<»on teaparty to her near friends once in
a while where they could discuss the besi
methods iu the different departments of
housekeeping, or, instead of idle gossip,
take turns at reading some good books b)
a popular author. The Grange is an im
port ant laetor in that It opens an avenue
to »ociability.
Some mothers on the farm do themselves
an injustice by st*\ ing at home and work
ing nard all the time in their nnselfish de
sire for their daughters to attend school
and obtain a higher education instead <d
drilling tbem in the arts of housekeeping
and sewing, which I count as much a par l
of a girl's education as any booklearniug,
for I have known of girls supposed to he
well educated who co'uld not so much as
nem a coarse kitchen towel iu a respect
able manner. Again, the farmer's wife
could improve her lot vastly by taking a
it amber of papers and magazines and de
voting as much of her time each day, as
from dark to bedtime, in reading tbem
She would know more of what is going on
in the world about her. Perhaps, too,
sometimes, she is inclined to think with
envy of those in higher positions, but she
-hould remember that their paths througn
life are not always smooth, think of the
Ut-i of the once reigning Eugenie, Kx-
Kinpress of France, now iu exiie lar awuj
from her own beloved country.
And I fully agree with the author of a
beautiful poem written by Ella Wheeler
Wilcox, the last verse of which reads.
Hut afier the strife and weary tussle.
When life is done and she lies at rest
The matron's braiu aud heart and muscle
II er sons and daughters shall call her
blessed,
And I think the sweetest joy of Heaven,
The rarest bliss of eternal lite
And the tairest crown of all wijl bo given,
Unto the wayworn farmer's wile.

The Poisoning Case.
11. J Beatty. the alleged Homestead
poisoner, was brought hack to Pittsburg,
Thursday, aud lodged in jail.
Ou Saturday he had a ho*ring before
Alderman McMasters and was held in
$3,000 ball for court.
J. M Davidson was the first witness,
and being told to relate all he kuew about
Beatty aud his connection with the con
spiracy to p* lson Homestead workmen, he
said:
"It was in the latter part ol August
that Patrick Gallagher anil I met Beatty
on Wood street. Galiag'ier started to in
troduce us when Beatty recognized me as
"Jimmy" Davidson. I have kuowu Gal
laghor for fifteen years. It was under
stood that we were all to go to Homestead
10 work as cooks aud tbat we were to take
something with us to put ia the food given
the non-union men in order to make them
sick and to render them unfit for work
When we met Beatty he took us to the
office of tae K. of L , on Third " avenue.
There we inet Hugh Dompsey, who, I un
derstand, is master workman for this dis
trict. lam not a uiemWr of the K. of L
While we were in the office Gallagher and
Dempsey did most of the talking. Beatty
suggested that it would be well for us to
dose the men iu Homestead with crotou
oil. He said crotou oil could be used safe
ly ; that we oould carry bottles of it in our
pockets aud when we were at work in the
cookhouse we coald put it on our fingers
and rub it ou the inside of the soup bowls
and coffee cups. I objected to the use of
oroton oil on the ground that it was a dead
ly drug, and I did not want to run the
risk of killing any one. Dempsey said he
could furnish us with powders that would
do the work effectively and safely; that the
powders had been used on non-union men
in Chicago; and that by their use a strike
had been broken iu four days, Ue said
that while it would make the men sick, it
was not daugerouft. Dempsey Slid that it
we would go to Homestead aud administer
these powders he would guarantee us +SO
each and our exnenses. We did not get
any powders from Dempsey that day
Gallagher, Beatty and myself then left
Deinpsey's office We took a walk ah tit
town discussing our plans and the contract
we had undertaken. Beatty told ns that
if we did the work well there would be
a gold watch and chain in it for each of us
in addition to the money we were to re
ceive. I did not go to Homestead until
September 30 Gallagher, who had been
there for some time, left the day before 1
arrived. Two days later he returned aud
worked about the restaurant in the mill
Before Gallagher went to 11 "inn*lead the
first time wo called on Mr. Dempsey
Ue gave us a small jar of some
kind of powder. He said there «r»s enough
ol the st.uU in the jar for three powders,
each one sufficient to 'tix' thirty gallons of
tea or coffee. I suppose there was nine or
leu teasi.oo isful of the stutf in the bottle
Dempsey told Gallagher to divide it into
thr e equal parts. This Gallagher took
with hiui to Homestead. The day before I
we t to Homestead Beatty gave me some
powders to deliver to Gallagher This was
in Dempsey's office, or K of L. hall. I
met Gallagher on the street an 1 gave him
the package. He opened it and told me
there were nine powders in the package.
The bottle containing some of the stuff was
given to Gallagher by Dempsey in inv
presence. This was in the K. of L hall
und Huatty was present. Gallagher was to
uso his own discretion whether he pui in
the tea or coffee. I next saw Beatty about
September 30.
"About September Gallagher came back,
and Beatty, he and 1 weut to the K of L.
hall. Dempsey asked him how the powders
worked. Ue said, successfully,and wanted
more, and Dempsey said he would get
more. After I came back 1 again met
Beatty. We talked obout the sue.ess the
powders had. and Beatty seemed pleased
1 had <|itit work on October 15 About
December I I met Beatty at Cavauaugh's
Saloon. Gallagher was with us aud wj then
went '•> Gallagher's room where wn dis
enssed the powders, and I asked Beatty
what was in the powder*. He said rhubarb
aud snuff and other things. Ue didn't say
who furnished them. While were taking
he mentioned Lynch, Crawford aud Dr
Puruian. Gallagher presented his bill of
expenses to Dempsey and he asked me
where mine was, und I made it out and
gave it to Dempsey. Dempsey said the
money was exhausted and we would have
to wait. Beatty said the powders didn't
auetn to he a success. Gullagher told
Dempsey thut the powders had beeu used
• n cook house ilo, J I saw Beatty again
two weeks Jatcr on v»'ood street. We
14-lked ovor OaUagbcr ti suevt'tu in sduim
i-tering the powders Met him again a
week later; that wa« after I had quit work
in Homestead."
On cross examination witness said
Beatty /rave him $2 and Detnpaey sl2.
Galligiier first suggested going to Home
stead.
Pinkertaa Detective J. H Ford was the
next witness called He was questioned
by Captain Breck. He said:
"I know Beatty, Gallagher and David
son. At No. 151 Second avenne I heard a
conversation betweeen the three men.
• Beatty told the others what was in the
pnw.ier that bad been nsed in Homestead

Kaid tbe use ol ttie powders had first been
by a man naiiied Tom Brady.
Again on Dec. 4 I heard Beatty and tialia
(ttier t-liking. Beatty arranged to gi to
Homestead to get a receipe for powders.
Gallagher told hiin to pay $5 for it if necess
arv. as there was money in it; that they
could go west and use the powders t<> break
a miners' strike. They were at Gallagher e
room at the time. I was in the next room

health nnlil the Bth of September. I slept
in the office that night, a- I had work to
do; I did no: eat more than nsual that
evening; 1 drank some of the coffee; I con*

Captain Breck, for the prosecution,
' spoke briefly. He said it was not nece.-si
rv for the eointronwealth to show its full
hand ar a preliminary hearing; that the
evidence of the witnesses examined woultf
i he corroborated in court, where the oom
■ monwealtb would produce all its evidence.
At tbe conclusion of Captain Breck's ar
gument Al lonian Me Masters made the an
nouncement coniained in the opening par
agraph ol this report
• Wbat bail do you requireT asked Mr.
Breuuen.
"Five thousand dollars."
"Is that not excessive T"
" If you think it is you can go into court
Monday and ask to have tbe bail fixed,'
said the magistrate as he closed the docket
Beatty was led back to jail and the
hearing was over.
Captiati Breck is said to have 205 wit
ness -s rea''y to prove the poisoning cu<cs
when they get into court.
The feeling against BeaUy in the mill at
Homestead is very bitter and his life
c.-ould not be safe there.
Louis Simrn. alleged to be a victim of
the Homestead poisoning plot, died last
Sunday at the Allegheny General Hospital
alter three mrnth- illness, during v hich
his body wafted from 185 pounds until he
was a skeleton of 70 There seemed to be
I,rft little left of bim but skin uad nones.
Coroner McDowell has charge of the body
and s-iys the case shall have one of the
most .searching investigations ever given a
su-picious death
livery day new cases of men whose
health was badly shattered in the liome
ctead mill and of some deaths from disease
contracted there are coming to light
Only a bare mention has been made of the
demise of Hugh Kennedy, who was one of
the guests at the reception given by Kest
urant Keeper Wolf to his wife on her ar
-1 rival from Annapolis. Bid) Watson,
Alfred Dsvis, Mr. Laugtborn, a young en
gineer graduateit from Columbia College,
Kennedy aud others were invited and at
tended. Glosser was also there. Mr.
Wolf told the boys not to eat any supper,
as he intended to have a speoial spread for
ibem in honor of his wife.
One of the dishes served was Hamburg
.steak, and it was remarked afterward that
everybody who ate of the meat got sick.
The meal was prepared by the regular
cooks in the mill Konuedy left the re
ceptiou early to j?o to work, but on the
«av t > bis place lie was taken violently ill
He*was seized wita a tit of purging, aud
soon blood streamed from bis throat caused
bv H hemorrhage in the stomach. He
died before he could be removed to the
~pit.il It is the general belief of the
! n.en that Kenneoy's death was due to poi
son placed in the steak and coffee.
\ telegram Irom Greensburg Saturday
Htatod that, the physicians now think that
Samuel Neigley, who died hero September
10. after a lew days illuoss, wax poisoned
at the Homertead works. Nejghjey was
for several years engineer at the county
home, and when he went to labor in the
mill was a man of vigorous and robust
health. He soon got sick and was sent
, home. l)r Kline diagnosed his ailment as
typhoid fever and treated bim for the din
ease but ho died. Physicians who saw
Neighl'.ty say that while there were symp
tom- of typhoid, uumistaken evidences of
poisoning were present, aud subsequent de
velopments confirm their suspicions.
Of people whose health has been injured
in the mill, the examples are numerous
James Kreelaud, who liven on Atwood st.,
Pittsburg, is a notable instance lie was
a brakeman on the Ft. Wavne road before
ho went iut • the mill, a man of great phy
sical strength and good health. .Now ho is
the shadow ol his former self. After a few
weeks' experience in the mill, he got sick,
and has not been able to recover. He is
weak, thin and his eyes are sunken.
Uobert Watson iost 40 pounds of flesh
the fi;st two weeks he worked at Home
stead, aud then he quit eating at the mill
He is now troubled with rheumatism, aud
Dr. Joseph X Dickson thinks the poison
has settled in his bones aud is gradually
working out of his system. Other non
union men complain ol the same thing
Joseph Dabbs. a son of B. L H. Dabbs,
the photographer, i* another Homestead
victim who is much the worse for his ex
perience in the big steel plant.
Langthorn. the Columbia College gradu
ate, was takeu to his home in Brooklyn
several weeks ago. He was slowly recov
ering from what the doctors thought was
typhoid malaria. For two weeks he was
confined to bis bed unable to keep any
thing but milk on his stomach. The organ
was in a highly irritated state. He lost
flesh rapidly and his skin became sall'on
Colored. Other patients had the same
symptoms The men say that the drug
was first put in theuoifue and finally into
the soup.
Jim Freelond stooped eating everything
but the soup, and still he .lid not feel well.
Finally he bad to quit and go home. Some
of the men noticed that the coflec, whin
poured out foamed like beer, and they be
came suspicious and avoided it. They
1 found that as long as they did not drink
the coffee they felt tip top unli' somebody
tampered with the soup, aud theu they
dropped this dish.
On mondu . iluifb P. Dempsey was ar
retted, waived a hearing, and was held for
500 bail lor bis appearance at Court.
- Toe inlormation was for complicity in the
poisouing. and was made by the County
' Detective at the instigation of the District
\ Attorney. It was said that a certain
' physician and a certain druggist would bo
' the next men to be arrested.
A COLORADO school teacher pulled his
, s l.olars'teeth for punishment; aud cauie
