Current Opinion A Singular Suggestion. It is a little singula.- that several na­ tions who have agreed to refer certain differences to the Hague arbitration tribunal for adjustment should quite Ignore the existence of such a body aod its purpose, and suggest arbitration by an executive or a nation that would avoid meddling in other nation’s affairs. To sidestep io that fashion would sug­ gest several purposes on the part of tbe claimant powers. A number of the powers which signed the Hague conven­ tion did so because they were ashamed to refuse after al! their protestations of good feeling aod good intentions. Few of them seem to regard the tribunal as anything practical. Some would prob­ ably be glad to see It pushed into the background by seeking some other ar­ bitration. If President Roosevelt would accept the preferred office he would be a party to the plan, whether Intentionally or not, and then the other powers having differences for adjudica­ tion would seek outside references until the Hagu? commission might sink out of sight in neglect. Detroit Tribune. A Reflection on the Hague Tribunal. ■ esta of the eaak the convention affords the utmost satisfaction, bat to those who represent agricultural conatisaenoies it is the occasion of worry and anxiety. Following the usual custom of bls party, Secretary Hay has secured the most signal advantages for the man­ ufacturing and other vested interests, to tbe disadvantage of tbe agricultur­ ists. , The p. ospects for the ratification of the treaty are not as rosy as the admin­ istration organs represent. Senator Burrows, after examining tbe treaty, has said jthat he will form no opinion as to its worth until after tbe national beet sugar convention, to take place in Washington next week. The Califor­ nia delegation is strongly opposed to tbe treaty and is attempting to form an alliance with the New England delega­ tion which Is earnestly opposed to tbe Hay-Bond convention, which will per­ mit New Foundland fish and bait to com­ pete with the New England industries, and to tbe Kasson treaty with Franco which win permit French silks and no­ tions to compete with numerous NewEngland manufacturers. In this situa­ tion Senator Lodge finds himself in a serious dilemma. His friendship for the president prompts him to vote for the Cuban treaty, but his seat in the senate woul,d be imperilled by the neg­ lect of any opportunity to defeat the French and New Foundland treaties. Under these circumstances the senator is doing a great deal of thinking but is not talking for publication. It has remained for Germany and Great Britain to force the republicans to declare their position in regard to the Philippines. When the treaty of Paris was negotiated it bad not entered tbe mind of any republican that the United States was acquiring territory with a view of its submission and per­ manent control. At the most, it was as­ sumed that a protectorate was to be formed over the Philippines, which were in other respects to enjoy the privileges of self government. This be­ ing the case the "open door policy” was guaranteed in Philippine customs legis­ lation. Tbe United States was to seek no advantage in the Philippine market not guaranteed to other nations. Later, however, the Philippine Commission imposed an export duty of 87 50 per ton on Manila hemp and fiber. This dm.5 was rebated when tbe goods were sent to the United States and accordingly the powers have entered a protest. Tbe administration refuses to see tbe justice of the protest and states its position as follows: it says that it is impossible to maintain the door to the Philippines ‘‘as wide open” as the door to China, for instance, as tbe Philippines are a possession of this country and must be regarded as in the same relation with tbe United States as are tbe British Colonies to tbe parent nation. The president has shown excellent good sense in refusing to be drawn into .•controversy that might easily embroil the United States should there be the least intention of bad faith on the part of any of the principals to the Venezue­ lan controversy. It. is as difficult as ever to comprehend why Germany and England desired the president of tbe United States to act as arbiter.

Tbe young man spoken of could not help hearing the remark, and he blush­ ed deeply as he kindly bade his play­ mates of past years good morning and a happy new year. He was medium sized, blond and boyish, with a budding mustache. He was attired In tbe height of fashion. “Goin’ callin'?” asked Ike Maddox, with a grin. The young man stopped politely to answer that he was. "Mam know it ?' asked another of the gang. Conscious of the intention to offend, young Mr. Deery blushed again to the roots of bis hair before he answered: "1 have no secrets from my mother, of course.'' Tbe corner gang roared, and Jim Smith, the first to recover from the general spasm of merriment, asked the greatly embarrassed Mr. Deery, honor bright now, if he was not going over to Oliver street to call on tbe Misses Wilson. The questioned one felt as keenly as any honor jealous knight of old could have felt It that thia was an outra­ geous trespass on forbidden ground, but he remembered hla mother’s pre­ cepts, and he replied, scorning alike evasion and resentment: "I am going to cal) on Miss Mary Wilson.” The laughter had hardly had time to begin again when Bill Evans raised his hand to check it HJs face was very grave. "Look a-here, Percy,” he said. "We’re friends of yours If we do guy you once In awhile Now, don't go to Wilson's today on any such business.

"Perhaps he’ll take a smoke, though," sneered Dick, bent on making Percy ridiculous. “Offer him the box, Mr. Wilson." Percy took a cigar. He held it In bls left hand while be sipped his lemonade and chatted with courteous Mrs. Wil­ son. He began to grow brilliant and bold. Mary’s eyes brightened. She was getting proud of him. Presently Mr. Wilson said something about politics to Holloway and they differed. Hollo­ way grew loud in his disputation. Turn­ ing suddenly to him, Percy said: “Mr. Holloway, stop! You are quite mistaken.” Even Dick was silent in his astonish­ ment Mary grew fairly radiant “Will you have just a little wine, Mr. Decry?’ asked Mr. Wilson, rising with a new and joyous inspiration. There might be good stuff in this chap, after all, according *o his views of good stuff. . "From Mary's father I will not re­ fuse to take it" was the astounding reply. Tears stood In Mary’s eyes. She had •been so proud of his sudden show of spirit but now he was going too far. •She shook her head at him secretly. It was enough. As Mr. Wilson poured out the wine for him he arose, took her hand and, raising the glass, de­ clared that be was about to propose a toast “To tbe girl I love, Miss Mary!” he cried, and. putting down tbe wine un­ der the reminder conveyed with pres­ sure of her band, he took up his lem­ onade and quickly gulped it down.

Tbe younger Miss Wilson, by the way, had no sweet- "That’s what I call a down—hie— right Insult to Mr. Wilson !” hiccough­ ed Holloway. “Come, young fellow. I’ll drive you downtown. I guess I'd better take you home before you make any more bad breaks.’’ He lighted his cigar as he' stood up. and his guests went out to tbe shed where the horse was standing attached to tbe buggy. “Mr. Wilson,” said Percy, “give me a match, please, rm going to smoke myi first cigar- I’m going to be just a little bit devilish.

The young man stopped politely to answer that he waa "Mam know it?’ asked another of the gang. Conscious of the Intention to offend, young Mr. Deery blushed again to the roots of his hair before he answered: “I have no secrets from my mother, of course." The comer gang roared, and Jim Smith, the first to recover from the genera) spasm of merriment, asked the greatly embarrassed Mr. Deery, honor bright now, If he was not going over to Oliver street to call on the Misses Wilson. 4 The questioned one felt as keenly os any honor jealous knight of old could have felt It that this was an outra­ geous trespass on forbidden ground, but he remembered his mother’s pre­ cepts, and he replied, scorning alike evasion and resentment: “I am going to call on Miss Mary Wilson."

Could it be pos­ sible? “Perhaps he’ll take a smoke, though," sneered Dick, bent on making Percy ridiculous. "Offer him the box, Mr. Wilson." Percy took a cigar. He held It in his left hand while he sipped his lemonade aod chatted with courteous Mrs, Wil­ son. He began to grow brilliant and bold. Mary's eyes brightened. She was getting proud of him. Presently Mr. Wilson said something about politics to Holloway., and they differed. Hollo­ way grew loud in his disputation. Turn­ ing suddenly to him, Percy said: “Mr. Holloway, stop! You are quite mistaken." Even Dick was silent in his astonish­ ment Mary grew fairly radiant “Will you have just a little wine, Mr. , Deery?” asked Mr. Wilson, rising with a new and joyous inspiration. There might be good stuff In this chap, after all, according to his views of good stuff. . , “From Mary’s father I will not re­ fuse to take it" was the astounding reply. Tears stood in Mary’s eyes. She had •been so proud at his sudden show of spirit but now he was going too far. •She shook her head at him secretly. It was enough. As Mr. Wilson poured out tbe wine for him he arose, took her hand and, raising the glass, de­ clared that be was about to propose a toast “To the girl I love, Miss Mary!" he cried, and. putting down tbe wine un­ der the reminder conveyed with pres­ sure of her hand, he took up his lem­ onade and quickly gulped it down.

Dick, with his broken’ jaw bound In white swathing, was be­ ing assisted into his buggy by Mr. Wil­ son just outside the window, but she had no eyes for him. “The novannovotococcus," replied the doctor, smiling, "is the bacillus of New, Year's vows, as the name implies. Look through the glass. See those squirming creatures? One got into this young man’s system somehow this morning, and be made a vow to re­ form"— “Ob, doctor, he could not. He had no vices. He was an angel until he came to our house today, and then—and then he began to (sob)—began to Improve. Oh. oh, oh!” . “Ah, I see,” said the wise doctor. “Now we force this drop of medicine into his mouth, so, and he begins to revive. Good. Now, miss, the peculiar­ ity of the novannovotococcus is that at first and while it is not numerous in the system it Inspires to good, but sud­ denly changes the bent of tbe person toward the old Adam when Its progeny.' has multiplied sufficiently. You must have seen again and again how good resolutions made on New Year’s day, lead straight to mischief. So this young man drank a little wine per­ haps?” "No, doctor, though he was just about to do it, but in all other ways be grew, all of a sudden so bold and manly and1 grand! Now, will this last—thia tend­ ency to be a little wicked ?” "Oh. yes; the bad effect always lasts; becomes constitutional, as wo say.

She raised her clasp­ ed hands and looked upward devoutly.1 Glancing fondly down on Percy Deery, she was abashed to find him looking' and smiling up at her. "I heard you," he said, stretching his arms to her. She knelt beside the lounge. They, whispered, and there was the sound of a kiss.

Out the Old, Ring in the New. 1 year 1902 (hM gone to join tbe cable past. Whatever of opporIt brought has been used or lost, uve has been run, for weal or woe, in and nations. It is a pleasing Jbt, and we believe, a true one, that last day <rf th* year leaves the .d better and farther advanced than first. For who can doubt that in economy of God’s plan for humanity re Is a constant, even though hardly Mptible, progression towards better higher planes of living. If we aro to hold thto.view we can welcome tbe New Year with feelings of ptoMUre and satisfaction, and It to rea­ sonable to think that this sentiment underlies the universal custom of hail­ ; Ing tbe new year with demonstrations of joy and words of good will. We ’“ring out the old year” because of its 1 pleasant memories, as we give our band and our blessing to a parting friend. We “ring in the new year” because of the opportunitiee and hopes which it brings us. We wish our friends a “hap­ py new year” because the spirit of the season prompts us to happiness and good will. The year 1902 was, generally speak­ ing, a peaceful, prosperous, useful, pro­ gressive year. May it be folfowed by a year that shall have even less of the evil and more of the good, so that the last day of 1903 shall see the whole world nearer the ideal towards which the revolving years are bringing it than it to on this New Year's day. An Honorable Position. , The determination of the parties to the Venezuelan dispute to submit their grievances to the Hague tribunal will meet with very general approval. This august International court, tbe first of it* kind in the world's history, was con­ stituted for the express purpose of meet­ ing such exigencies in international relations as is now presented in the trouble between Venezuela and her European creditors. Tbe international peace convention which met at the Hague In 1899 accomplished little or nothing if the Hague taibunal which it provided for is to be Ignored. But tbe acquiescence of tbe disputing nations in President Roosevelt’s suggestion to re­ fer their difficulties to the Hague tribu­ nal will not only prove a happy solution of a menacing situation but give this courts prestige and an influence which ft sorely needed. Strange to say, tbe great powers of the bld world, which were foremost in advocating such a court, have ignored Ito existence, while the republics of the “ifew world, the United States and Mex­ ico, have been the first and only nations to make use of It. Apd now, the perstetent attitude of the United States has practically forced Europe to recognize the great principle of international ar.Wtratioo. This attitude is certainly highly honorable to the United States, •bowing as it does lhe'good faith of our fwn nAtlon towards the higbeetpoesible hrinciple of action between nations, as Ompared with the cynical indifference nd hollow pretensions of European nvernments. Baron D’Estournelles de Constant, [the French statesman and jurist who is ^1Li“|mberof the Hague tribunal, in a ratulatory letter to President icvelt pays very high compliment to United States for thus saving the jDal from extinction. The followparagraph Is worth quoting: ”■5 Initiative of the United States red with the paralysis of Europe fn of the times which an Euronust have the courage to recogHcnor to your government which Mstood that, amidst the gener­ ation, some one bad to awaken re from their lethargy and lead =====«- • Tariff Revision the Remedy, ducUvenees. w ~ , m legitimate motives and are in fact 1 tbe only just excuse for the existence of any kind of trusts today. Nor can It be truthfully, maintained that the present high tariff is necessary for the success of our industries. These have passed the “infant” stage and are today reaching abroad for larger mar-1 keto. Industries that are invading every market of the old world and com­ peting with the foreigners in their own homes need no protection against the “panpeHabor” of Europe. There is a rapidly growing conviction on the part of all thoughtful Americans that the tariff must be revised, but the republican party Is not in a position to take up this reform. Ito control will fl ret have to bo taken out of the hands of the beneficiaries of the protective policy and this will be a difficult thing to do. For the protected industries and tbe gigantic trusts will spend money lavishly to hold a party in subjection that is serving their mercenary pur­ poses so effectively. Aad yet if tbe democratic party cannot harmonize it* differences, and rise to ito manifest duty so clearly pointed out by tbe trend of events, it will not be surprising to see the republican party ultimately take up this reform. For the old party, once known as the party of a grekt moral principle, is now in the hands of shifty politicians who know how to train their sails to catch the popular breeze. But the high tariff wing will undoubt- . edly control the republican party in 1904. Tariff reform must' come in ’ tbe next campaign from the democratic < party if it come at all, and we believe I with Senator Vest that if the democrats make this the paramount issue they will ' elect a democratic president and a dem­ ocratic house of representatives. Senator Burrows’ Reason. Senator Burrows has recently ex­ plained in an interview at Washington why the Cuban reciprocity measure was killed at the last session. This was a measure of justice towards Cuba; it was a measure of national honor. We had promised the Cubans that we would grant them tariff concessions, and It was a well understood condition of the settlement which we made with the Cuban leaders whereby the new-repub­ lic was to enter upon its career as a na­ tion. President McKinley and Presi­ dent Roosevelt after him, as well as the great mass of the people of this country fully and heartily favored a bill to which the country's honor was bo signally com­ mitted. The bill passed the house, though not with the help of the Michi­ gan delegation. But when it came to the senate it was given the cold shoul­ der. And why was this manifest national duty thus incontinently spurned by the republican senators? Senator Burrows tells why, and the reason will probably be satisfactory u> the practical politic-, ians of the sort that control our public policies, though it will hardly meet the approval of those who regard national honor and justice as a highest and gov­ erning motive. This is what our states­ manlike senator from Kalamazoo is re­ ported to have said: "We were or. the eve of a congressional election and an active and aggressive minority party was ready to offer amendments without end. Tbe democrats in the senate would have forced tbe republicans to a record of voting against tariff revision when they did not desire to make any such record.” . . Thus it was because the noble senator and his partisan colleagues feared that the dreadful democrats in the senate might compel the majority to vote against tariff revision when they did not want to, that they turned down Cuban reciprocity. How brave, how honorable, how high minded! A con­ gressional campaign was coming on and it would not have answered at all to go on record in a way that might give of­ fense to any American interest. The party had to be saved, and what was national honor as compared with party success. Oh, it was a shrewd, a states­ manlike move to lay on tbe shelf a meas­ ure that threatened such dreadful con­ sequences to the republican majority In congress. So it was Because Senator Burrows and his fellow senators thought more of partisan advantage than of the nation’s pledge to Cuba that they defeated this bill. Party expediency demanded its defeat, and what is there under the canopy of the heavens that a politician of the Burrows stripe would not do if party expediency demanded it! or Vest of Missouri ^trikes the 1 of the democratic position on « question when he says that 1 way to attack the trusts sucr y is through a revision of tbe schedules.» The policy of protec-n made trusts possible by shutforeign competition.

Now and then CHILD LABOR A SOCIAL WASTE, A CRIME AGAINST HUMANITY By ROBERT HUNTER. Head Worker of tbe University Setfaoeat HILD LABOR 18 SUPERFLUOUS AND WICKED, A SHAME TO OUR CIVILIZATION AND AN INEXPLICA­ BLE CRIME AGAINST HUMANITY. IT IS A SOCIAL WASTE. To shorten childhood in any way is to restrict growth of body and mind so that their full development may never be attained. All true education is based on a prolongation of the period of childhood, so that maturity may come only when the structure of life is prepared. CHILD LABOR MUST BE COUNTED WHERE IT EXISTS AS ONE OF THE IMPORTANT CAUSES OF UNEMPLOY­ MENT AMONG ADULTS. The lower wages at which children can be hired is the greatest inducement for their employment A GREAT FACTOR IN THE ENMITY TOWARD THE JEW W CBABrtS W. ELIOT. President of Harvard GREAT FACTOR IN THE PREJUDICE WHICH EXISTS AGAINST THE JEW IS DUE TO THE FACT THAT HE HAS SEEN A HONEY LENDER. He has lent money to individuals on' mortgage security. When he secured possession of lands and chattels in the collection of his debts, the dispossessed owner felt aggrieved, and enmity toward the Jew has resulted. I THEREFORE SUGGEST TO THE YOUNG JEW WHEN HE BE­ COMES PROSPEROUS THAT HE NO LONGER LEND HI* MONEY TO INDIVIDUALS. LET HIM INVEST HIS MONEY BY LENDING TO MUNICIPALITIES, CITIES, STATES, CORPORATIONS.

THE VERDICT OF JURY MRS. KELLOND TOOK MORPHINE WITH SUICIDAL INTBrfT. Coroner's Inquest and Post-mortem Examination Establish This Beyond Doubt. The inquest upon the death of Mrs. Geo. Kellond was held Friday forenoon by Coroner Lathrop. The testimony of H. W. Keables, Dr. Parker, Frank Barnes. Ida Billington, Herbert Fisher. Sheriff A. G. Cortright, Geo.W. Kellond and Mrs. F. E. Johnson brought out the facts substan­ tially as stated in the Herald last Kellond arrived in thi* city on the evening of Dec. 30 from Grand Rapids; went to the Hastings House, secured a room and left * request not to be called in the morning: on the afternoon of Deo. 31 she was found' in a dying oondion, Dr. Lowry was oaited lmtshe died in a few moments; paper* in the room ■bowed that her name wa* Mr*. Kellond and Grand Rapids her home. The chief of police at Grand Rapids was notified and it was ascertained that her husband wa* staying with her daugh­ ter, Mr*. F. E. Johnson; they were notified and identified the woman. Coroner Lathrop impanelled a jury composed of C. L. Beamer,W. H. Frost, Jos. Barnett, F. C. Brooks, E. W. Mor­ rill and Frank Herrick. After the ’ jury viewed the body, it was given over to the care of Undertaker Renkes. Thursday a post-mortem examination wa* conducted by Drs. C. H. Burton apd C. H. Barber, who testified at the inouest that the deceased’s heart, lungs ana liver were in normal condition, the stomach devoid of food but filled with gaa, and several tablets were found in different stages of digestion. Dr.. Bar­ ber tested pill* taken from stomach and some found In her room, and ascer­ tained they were morphine. " The testimony of Geo. W. Kellond, husband, was to tho effect that ahe had suffered with insomnia for a year or more, also had mental trouble, was contrary and cross, did things against the wishes of himself and child fob, had delusion that they were all against her, had threatened to kill herself and him. He had mad* application to send her to Kalamazoo asylum but it was denied; had known of her taking bromides, sulfonal and other drugs to produce sleep. Mrs. F. E. Johnson testified that she knew that at times her mother wasn’t in her right mind and suffered from loss of sleep, but did know of any rea­ son why ahe ahbuld take her life. In the dead woman’s rdom -at the hotel was an order for personal service from probate court of Kent county, issued Oct. 24. This had evidently worried her a great deal and she had written upon it “The brute beast you are” before the name Geo. W. Kellond, followed by the words “worse than.” Towards tho bottom of the paper she had written “Spare me thy vengeance, Kellond, in quiet let me die. I ask no kindness at thy hand for thou hast none ' to give.”. On a slip of paper was writ­ ten * ‘My husband and two daughters ha* been the cause of my death.” An envelope directed to “Mlfinle” contain­ ing about $4.65, pocket-book and other trinkets were found. The verdict of the jury was that “Mary Kellond came to her death by morphine poison, administered by her , OWn4umd with suicidal intent.” ‘' Mr. and Mrs. Johnson have resided > very much respected. Mr. and Mrs. Kellond have been here several time* visiting their daughter, and a* for as we are informed had lived peaceably together, but loss of sleep had produced .a change in Mrs. Kellond’* mind and she imagined her husband and daugh- ,A private funeral was held Saturday forenoon at 10:00 o’clock, at 'the^home of Mr. and Mrs. Johnson, conducted by Rev.

NEW Twenty-five Birds a Day and a Uni­ form Open Seasion of Ten Weeks. All local sportsmen will be interested in the game bill which Senator Burns of Grand Rapids will introduce early in the session of the legislature. He has adopted the suggestion made at the meeting of the sportsmen a few weeks ago and also incorporated some ideas of his own. One of the unexpected features of the bill is a provision prohibiting the kill­ ing of more than twenty-five birds by any one man in one day, and another prohibite the having in one's possession of more than one hundred birds at one time. The former provision is made to hold down the game hogs who go out and slaughter more birds than they can reasonably use. It is thought that twenty-five birds will be enough for any man in a day and the senator frank­ ly’admits that the limit is decidedly higher than he ever reached in his own hunting experience. The second pro­ vision Is made to reach the market hunters. Complaint has frequently been made about men who go out for the whole season, place their birds in cold storage until after the season's close, and then dispose of them at high prices. 'the bill also allows the sale nf veni­ son, provides a uniform season on all frame of from Oct. 1 to Dec. 15, and sl­ ows rion-residente the privilege of tak­ ing home one deer. The senator be­ lieves that there are many people de­ sirous of eating venison, but who can­ not get it unless they buy it. He says these people help to pay the taxes and the expenses of the game warden de­ partment and they are entitled to at feast this consideration Real Estate Transfers WARRANTY. George F.

It is announced Marconi is about to begin sending lages across the Atlantic st ten ia word and that after a short time 1 rate will be made still lower. If —« new system works as successfully as its inventor anticipates commercial messages as well as government com­ munications between the United States 1 and Canada on the one hand and Eng­ land on the other will soon be as cheap ! M ordinary land telegraphy, and a vast volume of wireless telegraph busihesa will soon be flashing across the AtlanI Tbe Invention of this new and Inax1 pensive process of communication is ■ likely to have momentous consequences. I' It will bring the continents of the world [ lato closer touch than ever before, and the closer the communication between nations and races of men the better 1 they understand and sympathize with ‘ each other. Sympathy and mutual un■ derstanding are great promoters of ' peace. Hence such an achievement as r 'that of Marconi is to be regarded as a signa! triumph for the principle of unii versa! peace and the brotherhood of all | mankind. I- . What the effect of wireless telegT raphy will be upon the present cable companies remains to be seen. Possibly it means their financial ruin and ultiH mate extinction. More likely it will change somewhat the nature of their ! service and compel them to reduce I, their rates without superseding them, so that both kinds of telegraphy will j exist and bo profitable. It may well be r that the cable companies will have an | E experience simular to that of moat of I the railrords and street car lines. A । reduction in fores has been more than I compensated for by the great increase j In business. But speculation upon the conseI quenoe of Marconi's wonderful inven■ tion will soon pass beyond the point of !‘interest.

If the Press wants to do tbe people of western Michigan a real good turn, and advance the highest interest bf public education it can do to by joining with the Hbrald in pushing the claims of Hastings for the new school. For' this city can present the ideal' condi­ tions for such an Institution. Its loca­ tion is in the very center of the part of tiie state to be served by such a school; stUl better when the new electric road is completed; Its sanitary oondltioh cannot be excelled; its water supply Is the purest In the state; its natural drainage is perfect; its water system, fire protection, sewerage, etc., are all that uould be asked for; and it has one of the most beautiful, convenient and appropriate sites to offer that can be found anywhere. These are some os the reasons why our Grand Rapids contemporary can do a good thing, when tho proper time comes, by ceasing to boom a useless proposition and joining us in pushing the claims of Hastings as the best pos­ sible point for the Western Michigan Normal School. .

Hence, we have made a careful study as to the requirements of fence users and we find that a x fence must have the following good features in-order to meet their approval- At A FE]V@E | V * V* ' £ Xt £ X, That will stand ordinary as well as hard .usage. That will not sag in summer's heat nor break in the cold of winter That is made of the best material for fencing purposes. That has stays that will not slip nor cannot be moved ont of place. That will conform to the most uneven ground and can be erected over hills and through valleys as well as on the level ground.

Accordingly, taking with him a couple OT lady friends, he presented himself at the door for ad­ mittance. . "No admission today, sir," said the keeper. "But I must come in.

WE DO NOT WANT'ZION RE-ESTABLISHED IN PALESTINE. OUR MISSION IS SPIRITUAL, NOT POLITICAL. OUR PRINCIPAL PROBLEM IS TO OVERCOME ANTISEMITISM. Zidnism is not feasible. It is based on the false premise that the Jews are a nation. Israel is not a nation, but a religious community. . . ZIONISM IGNORES PATRIOTISM. I LOVE AMER­ ICA MORE THAN I DO PALESTINE. The greatest blessing in- disguise that ever happened to Israel was the overthrow of the Palestinian kingdom and its dispersion throughout the world. It gave to Israel’s religious mission a greater potency and a greater field. It made of the Jew a ‘cosmopolitan and furnished him the world as a home and every man as a brother. ' I believe Israel will continue to assimilate with occidental life and will only find its way back to the orient via the Pacific ocean. ZIONISM IS IMPOSSIBLE BECAUSE 10,000,000 OR 12,000,000 JEWS OF THE WORLD DO NOT WISH TO GO BACK TO PALESTINE. ZIONISM IS A THEORY OF DELUDED ENTHUSIASM NOT WORTHY OF EVEN SERIOUS CONSIDERATION. . Some one has summed the situation up by saying, “If the Jews set up a state of their own in Palestine, I will ask to be its ambas­ sador in Paris.” I think about 12,000,000 Jews would apply for such ambassadorships.

VOL. XXIIL, No. B5 ABORIGINES The “cliff dwellers," from the dizzy altitude of their apartments In the old studio building, were on terms of eemlrivalry (veiled of course by the usual billowy courtesies) with the "mound builders," who "burrowed” on the first floor. Tbe former "drew with a pencil," and the latter "did things with a pen,” and there was absolutely do ground for collision In their work, but instinctive­ ly they pretended there was (each se­ cretly wondering if the others guessed facts) merely to disguise the real cause for the friction—a man. as usual, or, rather, three men, who also "bunked” in the studio building. The sum of tbe eltuatlon was tbe cliff dwellers were the poster sort both as to occupation and personality. They dressed smartlj, chatted entertainingly, even wittily, were trammeled by no traditions and were a match in moat ways for any up to date yonng man of their ac­ quaintance. Whereas the mound builders were Dot full fledged Bohemians and far from "smart," they still had ideals and Illusions, also a chaperon, who was the mother of one of them. They bad taken the ground floor apartment be­ cause the rent was lower. When Dal and his churn and "tbe other one" spent an evening either sep­ arately or collectively with the mound builders, they came away feeling de­ cidedly jolly, almost boyishly so, on good terms with themselves and the rest of the world. “A call on the builders leaves a good, wholesome taste In a fellow's mouth," "the other one" bad remarked one night "The little girl's mother’s a brick," Dal chimed In. "She makes one feel like the time when the treetops ‘seemed dose against the aky.’ " Dallas Sinclair had dropped Id thia afternoon just for a word with Vlvacla, she of the cliff dwellers, and had stepped back of tbe screen to examine some of her latest sketches. Vlvacla had paused In the next room to slip on a pretty bouse gown. Somehow she al­ ways liked to look her best when Dal came. So It happened that while Dal was back of the screen they left the eleva­ tor and paused to study the card care­ lessly left In the ground glass door. “ ‘Back at 2.’ It’s ten minutes of. Let’s wait I can never screw my courege up to this point again.” It was the voice of “the little girl," ■he of the mound builders. Then the door was pushed farther open, and the two entered. “Oh, ma male, dear! If our den only looked like this! I wonder people ever come to see us-^-we're so ’sparse.”’ Dallas was In an agony. It would certainly not do to dlscloee his pres­ ence. His soul loathed the role of eaves­ dropper. Yet he did so want to know which one she cared for. himself or “the other one.” “If only my last wee bit story will be • 'go,’” tbe sweet voice went on, “then I can accept Mr. Sinclair's Invitation at last I suppose most of our friends real­ ly believe our ‘no place like home* excusee by this time.’' “Is that the bachelor girl story— TTips?*” the older voice asked. “Why didn't you let Mr. Sinclair have that, 'Dorothy? He told you he was on the Up to Date staff.” “Now, mother mine, you know 1 couldn’t do a thing like that. I would rather never have it printed.” *' "Well, maybe not. You’re a funny . Uttle chick of a daughter, but one can overdo even so desirable a thing as in­ dependence. If Mr. Sinclair wants to even If'he Is merely a casual acquaint­ ance”—the color crept ‘up over the girl’s fair throat—“yon would do the same for him, I jim sure.” “But, anyway, it’s lots more fun. mamale, dear,” the girl began, with an effort at llghtnes*, “to blaze one’s own “And that is why you said ‘No* to Tom Davenport last week and refused Aunt Sageman’s gifts”— “Now. mother, dear, you know Aunt Ba genian treated you atrociously not bo long back. I’m not going io swallow that just because I happen to need "Still it doesn’t do to be too proud, " dearie. Who was it—Elijah—who let himself be cared for by—wasn’t it ‘ra­ vens?” ' “Mamsie. you must read up,” tbe girl exclaimed, laughing. "Ravens are all right, or even English sparrows, for that matter, but 1 draw tbe line at tors and all the usual means of grace but—well, I just couldn’t, that’s all. It would seem nice, though,” reflec­ tively, “not to have to calculate whether my shoes will bang together I’m afraid Provi- las Sinclair was talking to me last night about his home. He has a very lovable nature, Dorothy, such a con­ trast to Mr. Mqrtlmer.” “The oth?r one? Oh, he’s just a nice playfellow. Wbat-what did Mr. Sin­ clair say to you. mother?" There was a clatter of heels In the hall, a momentarily astonished face In the doorway, the glibly false as­ surances of welcome and delight, dur­ ing which Dal silently and unnoticed slipped from screen to open door. He took the first cab for his office tn the Up to Date building to Importune the long suffering manuscript reader as to a story entitled “Tips,*’ which be rep­ resented as having been turned In by himself incog, after a bad quarter of an hour. “But wait till I touch It up, and you'll howl for It," be said. “I believe she'd forgive me If she knew,” he assured his conscience, “and I’ll tell her all about it after­ ward.” . A week later a typewritten note of acceptance, with a double dosed check, which Dorothy Id her inexperience did not stop to scrutinize (it was not from the Up to Date checkbook), made sun­ shine tn a certain dark studio and made possible a certain long deferred outing, from which two people return­ ed tired and happy as the children they really were at heart “The flat seems so stuffy after—to­ day,” Dorothy had said. “Let’s go up on tho roof just for a sen doff"— "Oh, the cliff dwellers staked that off Jong ago ns their claim," Dorothy ob­ jected wistfully. "Nonsenae' What’s that to ‘us-es?’ We'll counterstake." And they laugh­ ed as they entered the cagelike old ele­ vator. Up among the chimneys and under the stars, sitting without dis­ comfort on the edge of the ugly brick cornice— "If I only had space like this to write in,” Dorothy said, "but In my slice of a room—just a pigeonhole”— "Why, that’s all right," the man re­ turned cheerily. "You’re Just a sketch yourself yet Pigeonholes are the places for sneb things. Wait till you get to be a volume and a number of them”— "Then I’ll be laid on the shelf?" , "No; you’ll have a whole library to yourself." "I think I’ll tell you a bit of luck that came my way lately," Dorothy began after a pause, and then she re­ lated all she knew of the Up to Date incident Dallas Sinclair was properly surprised. appreciative and congratu­ latory, and when conscience twinged he repeated, "I’ll tell her the truth— afterward.” It was so good to be there tn the mellow autumn starlight bo free, so still, so—yes, so near together. “To­ getherness" is one of the good things of this dear old earth. For a moment the thought of It all thrilled the girl's sensitive being, the little white hand that was nearest Dal’s trembled and turned ita pink palm half outward, then Its owner drew It back Into her lap and put the other demurely over it The man had seen, and his heart, throbbing joyously, had understood. “Why don't you let it have its way?” he said simply, taking gentle posses­ sion of the little fingers. "How could you know?’ she acqui­ esced happily. A pair of eyes, unnoticed, emerged from the trapdoor and as quickly van­ ished. “No, 1 don't feel like going up on the roof tonight,” their owner said wearily a few minutes later to the other cliff dwellers. “I—I don’t feel— I think I’ll say good night” “Don’t squeal till your hundred dol­ lar ‘Autumn Leaf poster comes out Vlvacla,” somebody called after her. “Oh, I’ll be all right in the morn­ ing.” Women are all alike, whether they make red and green posters or dream dreams on housetops. ▲ ConscleBtl*** M*j». “I am still without a father-in-law,” •aid the drummer, “and I guess a Long Island farmer is more to blame for it than anybody else.

COAL COMPANY INTIMATES IT CANNOT FURNISH COAL. j Richard Marshall Formerly of thia I City Seriously Injured. 1 The City of Hastings is Advised to Use Coal Only for the Water Works. Yesterday Recorder John B. Roberts received a letter from the Saginaw Coal Company, with office and mines at Saginaw, stating that it was crowding them to furnish this city with coal ana advised that the city hang onto all the coal it got and not let any of it slip away. . They also advised the city to use the coal only for the water works and not sell it to any of its citizens. It is queer that all cities that attempt io nell fuel to its citizens meet with about the same difficulty in furnishing the coal. It is not because there is not plenty of it, but because the power be­ hind the throne is making a'mint of money out of It. As we understand it, the coal dealers in the city are not responsible for the price of coal being 86.00 a ton. It is because they are called upon to pay tribute to these coal barons, and, of coarse, if they have to pay a high price for coal, the consumer will have to pay a high price or go without, aod such weather as this it is very inconvenient. We opinc that the coal trust, or what­ ever you may call it, is simply driving □alls in its own coffin, by treating the people in this manner. About a week ago the manager of the company in talking with Recorder Roberts over the telephone informed him that they would furnish the city two carloads a week until further no­ tice. As the situation has not materi­ ally changed since that time, bow does it happen that the company has sud­ denly become bo fearful that it can not carry out its agreement? Nashville’s New School House. Bv the explosion of an 80-hor*e now* er boiler in the sawmill of the J. L. Gibbs’ estate at Mayfield last Thursday morning, Richard Marshall, the engin­ eer, a former employe of the Grand Rapids Bookcase Oo. of this city, was probably fatally injured. The other twenty-five employes, among whom was Wm. H. Paton, alsd a former resident of Hastings, miraculously escaped un­ injured, although the building was a mass of wreckage after the explosion. It was under a huge mass of debris piled where the engineroom had stood that Engineer Marshall was found by fellow workmen. They set resolutely to work digging away the shattered pieces of the mill and boiler. A long timber—fully a foot equare— pressed down upon him with the added weight of a miscellaneous quantity of debris. The timber was pried up with a mighty effort and the engineer released from his terrible position. Mr. Marshall was taken to the store building of Mr. Gibbs, and soon two physicians were in attendance. His left leg was broken io three or four places below the knee, both bones being fractured. The left ankle was also broken arfd a stick bad been thrust through the left knee. The right side of his face was so badly scalded that portions of the skin came off, and the right side aod arm were injured and scalp cut. The lid of his right eye was cut and badly swollen. The cause of the explosion is thought to have been that the valve in the waterpipe connecting the boiler, which exploded, with the other two boilers was shut the night -before and not opened when the engine was started in the morning. The effect of this would be to draw the water from the third boiler in case it had the highest pres­ sure, leaving the water below the dan­ ger line. It is stated that after the ex­ plosion the valve was found closed. Mr. Marshall is a member of the M. W. A. of this city. The latest report from Mayfield is that his leg will prob­ ably have to be amputated. 3 i . 1 3 I E , , . - , Nearly a year ago the Nashville school building was totally destroyed by fire. With commendable spirit the citizens took steps at once to put up a new building and they have just com­ pleted a very handsome, commodious and up-to-date structure which will be dedicated tomorrow night with speech­ es by prominent educators, music and a. reception to the public. On Saturday arrangements have been made for a big teachers' meeting, with the following program: In the morning the following topics will be discussed: “The Relation of the Hiirh School to the Rural Schools,” Commissioner J. C. Ketcham; “Some Present Needs of Our High Schools,” Supt. E. L. Lutber of Eaton Rapids; “How lo Keep Our Boys in School,” Supt. J. G. Burrage, of Middleville; “The Relation of the College to the High Schools,” Supt. Field, of Hast­ ings: Discussion, C. H. Farrell. Com­ missioner J. L. Wagner of Eaton county will lead in the discussion of Commissioner Ketcham's address. In the afternoon Supt. of Public In­ struction. Delos Fall, will deliver an address on“Manual Training in the High School.” Judge Smith of Hast­ ings will speak on ‘The School and Citizenship,” and Supt. Parmelee of Charlotte will give a short talk on "What the New Building Stands For.’’ Arthur Patton, the Cloverdale hust­ ler, has an “ad” in this issue. A meeting of the Farmers' and Fruit Growers’ Union will he held in the court bouse on Saturday, Jan. 17,,at 2:00 p.-m. for the purpose of electing of­ ficers and transacting such other busi­ ness as may come before it.

The progress of invention in subma- te rlne navigation has stimulated effort* to produce oxygen by cheaper and coa­ ler methods. If oxygen, the vital ele­ ment In air. can be supplied as wanted, the length of time that men can remain under water may be indefinitely pro­ longed. A process of making oxygen, invented by George F. Jaubert, A French scientist, promises to answer the requirement His object was to find a solid substance which would produce oxygen as calcium carbide produces acetylene gas. He selected for the purpose a peroxide of sodium or of potassium w’hlch can be cheaply ■ manufactured by electro chemical a means. It is called “oxyllthe" and is made in little cubes and pellets, some j only half an inch in diameter. When decomposed with water, it gives.off . oxygen. Two or three ounces of thia . substance supply enough oxygen to en- . able a diver to remain under water for an hour. By suitable apparatus the ’a carbonic oxide produced by respiration 3 is withdrawn into the oxygen genera­ tor, and fresh oxygen takes its place. ' RAMBLES IN RUSSIA.

The Durbar. Some ides of the magnificence of the £‘ great festival at Delhi, India, which j has just been ended, may be gathered F from the announcement that five mllHpna of dollars were spent upon it. Such gorgeous ceremonies as were used in orft. • der to celebrate in due form the acceet. *ion of a new English monarch would ’ aeem to imply that the teeming millions t of Indi* *re deeply loyal to the great E British empire of which they form a E part. It is said that the durbar was one ! of the greatest spectacles the world | ever saw. And there is certainly an k excusable pride for Americans in the E fact that an American woman, Lady ; Curzon, took a conspicuous part In the / . honors that were conferred by princes ■ and potentates upon the representatives ' <rf British sovereignty. It Is one of the most significant facte * of this interesting event that by these ceremonies three hundred millions of ; human beings signified their submission and allegiance to forty million. The ’ Indian people, with many differing , forms of religious belief, many differ­ ent races and different social and polif tical institutions, having little under­ * standing of, or sympathy with, English standards and institutions, are willing to submit, with lavish demonstrations of delight, to the rule of a far distant E king.' Three hundred million people ' of this ancient seat of civilization, swear ■ allegiance to Edward VII. * There could hardly be a more signal £ • triumph for England’s colonial system F than the durbar. Mr. Miller’s Sad Fate. That was undoubtedly a pathetic in1 cident of the opening of the legislature ■ when the retiring clerk, Lewis M. Mil­ k let, broke down and wept as he bade the members goodbye. Thirty-two years is a long time in which to retain the clerkship of a legislative body, and E during that time Mr. Miller has formed I naturally many strong associations, tbe I breaking away from which proved to be F a serious ordeal. But Mr. Miller has I himself to blame for being thus turned ■ down, or more correctly, turned out. < He ought not to have opposed-the Bliss ? machine last summer. Very likely be E thought, in fkct, knew, for he had every ft •*" opportunity ef knowing, that Mr. Bliss was a very weak man for governor. I But be ought also to have known that the machine was going to re-nomlnate t . and re-elect the Saginaw statesman, I and that any man who should dare to £ ‘ oppose the machine was going to get r hurt. For great and mighty is the g. £ o. p. machine in Michigan and woe to ■. the reckless office holder who dares to interfere. . So it must be admitted that Mr. Mil­ k lerdeserved his punishment. He ought j? not to have shown so much independ| b ence. That is a spirit not to be tolerHeated within the g. o. p. ranks, and so of r course be had to be punished.

That will not sag in summer’s heat nor break in the cold of winter. That is made of the best material for fencing purposes. That has stays that will not slip nor cannot be moved out of place. That will conform to the most uneven ground and can be erected over hills and through valleys as well as on the level ground. That has uo slack wires to spoil the appearance as well as efficiency of the fence. That does not require an expert to erect it. That is LOW IN PRICE. ‘ With all these requirements in mind we have selected, from all the vast number of fences, made today, one that is known as the , Pittsburgh Perfeet Fenee. This fence does meet all the above mentioned requirements. Hence, it is what you want. See the sample at our store.- Buy what you will need for the season of 1903 while the price is low.

To the mind of the general reader tbe term Aztec conveys the Idea of a more or less misty, extinct greatness, the idea oi a great body of aboriginal Americans of mysterious origin who at tbe time of the advent of tbe Span­ ish bad reached the acme of power and native civilization and then unexplalnedly very rapidly and completely van­ ished. • These problems—namely, the origin or derivation, the physical type and physical destiny of the Aztecs, to clear which history alone proves insufficient —have been and remain prominently the subjects of. anthropological investi­ gation. and through these investiga­ tions, In which the anthropological de­ partment of the American Museum of Natural History, New York, Is taking pd Important part, enough has already been achieved to warrant tbe hope that In not a very far future, but a little concerning the Aztecs will be left in obscurity. One result of these investi­ gations Is tbe knowledge that tbe Az­ tecs of the time of the conquest are still represented by numerous pure blood survivors. They are scattered, but still clearly recognizable by a student of tbe people, iD'the suburbs of the city and In prac­ tically all the smaller towns in the val­ ley of Mexico. From tbe valley they can be traced southward. They are nu­ merous in tbe districts of Amecameca. and tfiey occupy, though probably largely mixed with the Nahuan branch of Tlahultecs. entire villages near and in the mountainous country between Cunutla and Cuernavaca, In the state of Morelos. In this last named region •thflre are tn particular two large vil­ lages. Tetelclngo and Cuautepec, in which the Aztec-Nahuan descendants not only speak the pure Aztec language and know but little Spanish, but they also preserve their ancient -dress and ancient way of building their dwrilIngs. In both of these villages the na­ tives are almost free from mixture with whites. To estimate the number of pure blood Aztec-Nahuan descendants still in existence Is very difficult. The Aztec language Is still used by at least a mil­ lion. probably more, of the natives in Mexico.—Harper’s.

Washington, Jan. 12.—It can be au­ thoritatively stated that the president has not upon any occasion expressed the opinion that a Mormon should not be elected to the United States senate. The' president has upon several occa­ sions been asked to give his views on the situation in Utah, but has re­ frained from going any farther than to say that in hta judgment*the inter­ ests of the Mormon church would not be best served by sending one of Its twelve apostles to the senate. Would Cause Antagonism. The president has frankly discussed the matter with whoever sought his opinion, but has always done so from the standpoint of the welfare of the Mormon churdh. The presence of b Mormon apostle in official life under the public eye would, be thinks, pro­ voke antagonism and adverse senti­ ment that would result in no good to the church. The president’s attitude can be well illustrated by saying that, with regard to the Mormon church, it is the came as though he expressed the opinlqn that Episcopalians In electing a United States senator should not select Bishop Potter. Delay Smoot's Election. Dispatches from Salt Lake say that the opposition to Apostle Reed Smoot in the Utah legislature is taking defi­ nite shape and that the Indications are that a strong flght will be made before he Is elected. Hta opponents are seeking delay in the hope that something may develop to prevent hta election, and have so far succeeded in preventing the appointment by the senate of a committee -to arrange a joint caucus with the house*, which Is strongly for Smoot MR. TONGUE 18 DEAD. Expires Suddenly From Gevere Attack of Indigestion. Washington, Jan. 12.—Representa­ tive Tongue of Oregon died here after an illness of only an hour or two. He complained of a slight attack of indi­ gestion, but refused to permit his daughter to summon a physician. The attack grew so severe tLat simple rem­ edies were administered, and before Mr. Tongue realized his serious condi­ tion he was beyond the aid of medical skill. Death,was caused by acute in­ digestion, producing paralysis of the heart. The death of Mr. Tongue will probably keep in public life Binger Hermann, who will at the end of this month retire as commissioner of the general land office. Mr Hermann was defeated for congress by Mr. Tongue several years ago, and has recently been training for the United States senate, but it is understood that "he has given up these aspfratlons, and .will become a candidate to succeed Mr. Tongue. At his bedside when the end came were his daughters. Mrs. Tongue is in Hillsboro, Mr. Tongue's Oregon home, and to that place the remains will be taken for interment A con­ gressional committee will be appoint­ ed to escort the remains.

Savannah, Ga., Jan. 12.—Advices from Berrien and Worth counties, in the southern part of the state, are that a severe windstorm did much damage. At Omega, in Worth county, the hotel was blown down and a num­ ber of houses were unroofed. The wind swept a path 100 yards wide -through the town, damaging every house and uprooting every tree it en countered. At Heartsease the stacks and pipes of a, big lumber plant were knocked over. At Tifton a number oi bouses were damaged. Hotel The hardy Scotch cheviots are popu­ lar for shopping, traveling and walk­ ing costumes. The Louis XV. coat In velvet, lus­ trous silk or handsome satin faced cloth ta one of the most fashionable garments of the season. Costumes of opal gray broadcloth or zibeline trimmed with white panne vel­ vet and collar and bands of Siberian squirrel fur are just now very fashion­ able. The popularity of self colored cloth costumes remains unchanged, which ta not to be wondered at. since these handsome fabrics lend themselves to almost any kind of garniture. Some of the French and English tai­ lors are lining henrletta cloth, cash­ mere, vigogne and the other light wool skirts with plalded silks, not the clan tartans, but patterns showing very npvel and pretty color blendings. Handsome cloth costumes have ap­ peared in more stylish forms than ever, and the shirt waist in one guise or other remains a necessary adjunct to the skirt and jacket style lb which these tailor made models are made up. —New York Post CHATS ABOUT THE SWISS.

Michigan Beet Sugar Men Ara Hostile WIND Washington, Jan. 12.—Representa­ tives of the beet sugar industry of Michigan have been in conference in this city not only among themselves and other beet sugar producers from other states, but also with the Michi­ gan ' delegation in Congress. Senator Burrows, who last spring opposed the Cuban legislation then pending, has been prominent In the conferences. Senator Burrows had a long,inter­ view with President Roosevelt, during which, it 1s understood, he indicated to him that the Cuban reciprocity treaty now pending in the Senate was not satisfactory to the beet sugar Interests of hir. state, and that it was likely to encounter serious opposition unless it could be so amended as to provide that the concessions made to Cubs as to tariff rates should remain in force for five years. After mature con si deration of the treaty the Michigan sugar producers bad concluded that the trfety was open to objection In that it did not Insure stability of tariff rates for any clearly specified period What the producers chiefly desire i> stability of rates, which would enable them to put additional capital In the!: industry and develop It further with some assurance of succeae. r DON’T B MEYERS' -KIL-KOLDi ' TABLETS yOREyou havo stopped experiment* __ „ ..„.h cal aorta of medicines an rosily want io atop that cold or cough o yours, you will send 25 cts. round to th druggist and buy a box of MJCYE.R’3 KIL-KOLD TABLETS They'wilt cure you.

Neither does he He in wait and, pouncing upon a hunter, tear him into bloody shreds in delighted fiendlshnosa, as the old time stories used to tell. The change in the grizzly’s disposition is likened by veteran hunters to the change In the character of the white cousin of the grizzly, the polar bear of ihe arctics. When the stations for the Hudson’s Bay edmpany were established, tbe diaries of tbe men there often referred to the fright of attack by polar bears. Many a navigator in the arctic seas has ^een clawed and chewed to death by polar bears.

SPLENDID SCHOOL BUILDING DEDICATED AT NASHVILLE FRI­ DAY EVENING. Followed Saturday by an InferestIng Teachers’ . Meeting. Pine Address of Judge Smith. ■ The people of Nashville have good reason to be proud ot their new school house which was completed and occuple44ast week for the first time. Dur. log the past year they have bad to utilise the churches for school rooms, putting up with all sorts of inconven­ iences and bow that their handsome new structure was completed It was natural that they should celebrate the event with public ceremonies and festivitles. / Accordingly last Friday evening there were appropriate exercises at the opera house at which Prof. Reed of tho university via the principal speaker. Afterwards a public reception was held at the school building to which the citizens thronged and passed a pleas­ ant hoar In viewing the building. Through the courtesy of Editor Feighner of the Nashville News we are able to present to oar readers a view of this handsome structure. It is up-todate in every respect, furnished with modem furniture, beautifully lighted, well heated and ventilated, equipped with everything needed in the modern school room, all admirably planned for to offer m to any of these fads. They many times, undoubtedly, are effectual and give relief for some of the ills hu­ manity is subject to- So far as I am concerned, I want to be well enough to sit down witfl my family a t the table in the morning before the. cares of the । day come upon ba, and after giving thanks for so great a blessing, 1 want to eat a good breakfast and prepare myself for the cares that are to come, and when noon comes I want to be at the table again, and when the shades ot bight commence to lower, what Is there more helpful than to gather with the family at the supper hour, discuss­ ing the events of the day and partak­ ing of a meal that hard work has made so welcome and so helpful? And so I say, while these fads may do no harm, the healthy, active man is happier when he can work and eat with a relish his three meals a day. And ao also we have fads in our schools, In our educational systems and I have no disposition to criticise them for I know they are many times valu­ able. but the gist of what every school should teach, is a preparation for life’s dntbkk , Thgt Is the end In view. The schools If they turn out good clUxehs. must give them that teaching that will lead them to do right and that will put them in such relations in life that they wUl not only be just, but will ask of those about them no more than justice, and to do this, the schools muct have teachers who teach more than is found in books. .As has well been said, the purpose ofeducation Is to ledkn what to love, and what to hate, what to honor and what to despise, and it •ZT cannot , alone be learned from books, as ,i ant as book education - is. Thatsermons pertinent words: “As living beings we #re part of a universe of life; as intelligent beings we are in connection with a great circle of conscious intelli­ gences; as splritual beings we have our NASHVILLE’S NEW SCHOOLHOUSE. the oomfort, convenience and health of pupils and teachers. Such a building cannot help but prove an inspiration to the cause ot popular education In Nash­ ville. Saturday’s meeting held in the new high school assembly room was attended by many ot the. prominent educators of Barry and Eaton counties, the superin­ tendents of Middleville, Hastings, Woodland, Nashville, Vermontville, ent as well as Superintendent of Pub­. lic Instruction Fall. At the forenoon session Supt. J.G. Burridge of Middleville spoke on how . to keep our boys in school. He was , Rapids along the same line and a gen­ erri and intereoting discussion foltowed. Oommlsrioner Ketcham read a thoughtful paper on the relation of the rarri schools to the high school, and Supt. Field followed with a short paper the colleges. tbs big crowd.

In each of these spheres there is a law, a- duty, an . obligation, a responsi­ bility for us. And our felicity lies in tho discovery and acknowledgement of those ties which fit us and bind us to take our place, to play our pan, to do oar work, to live our life, where we be­ long./’ And so for a brief time, I want to address you, my friends, on some duties of a citizen, and I tell you, and I want to be emphatic about it, that an education is. not complete, yes my friends more than that, is greatly lack­ ing that does UM give us teaching as to our responsibility to a higher power. Lacking that we are too mudh at sea, lacking that, we easily sabecribe to the doctrine of greater numbers, not oaring where Ue selfishness may lead to. The grand old man of England never said truer words than when he said, “there is no such question as capital and labor, it Is simply a question of the gospel of Jesus Christ.” Can we be­ lieve the men who have had the hand­ ling of the coal mlne^during the past fall and winter, however it may be that they are graduates of great institutions of learning, as many of them are, have had the education that makes good citizeui? Men who could see want and cold in the distance and >et practically lock all approach to that which would give warmth and cheer, have not been taught in the principles that underlie goal citizenship, valuable citizenship, and do we not know that that man who called these men to the seat of government and talked to them of the rights and respooribilitiea and sent them away thinking what, their conduct means, has the elements ef an educatlon that is useful always and adds to the great wealth of citizenship. I want to present this matter of the relation of the schools to citizenship to you from the standpoint of a court dealing a 1th all clataes and conditions of society, and feeling from this experience and obeerration something of ibe needs of eiti□ot only the acquiring ot kt but th. training, dwcipilne io ot all the huulUM, phydcal, I resulls education abould be in a certain m is far from educat . out bis strong character, one upon The Library Matter. whom society can depend.

ANNUAL I SOCIAL AND UTERAHY EVENT OF THE SEASON. -------• ' Held Last Friday Evenins at the Parish House and the Attend­ ance vras Large. The annual banquet of the Bastings Women’s Club, held at the parish house ■■ last Friday evening was, as hsual, the social and literary event of the season. *’ The- attendance was limited only by the capacity of the banquet room. ■ ’‘ At six o’clock the members of the< ;• dub and their guests filed into the din-. Ing room,,to the music of Troxel’s orcheetra, and took their place* around the beautifully appointed tables. The ; room was profusely draped with the national colors and the tables adorned . with white carnations and smflax and . lighted by wax candle*, in handsome candelabra, in addition to the -electric . lights. After invocation by Rey.Geo'Bullen an appetizing feast was set before, the * ' company, prepared by our popular ca­ terer, Mrs. Ida Wood, and very nicely . ' served by a bevy of young ladies of the highschool. Muric was played dmrtng . the banquet by the orchestras. * Of course the feast was followed wiu£!|fl a program of toasts and music. No eventof a public kind under the auspices ,;j of the women’s club wonjd.be complete ■*’ without its literary features.’ Mrs. Elizabeth Barber, president of the dub, ” acted as toastmistress, presiding-over the “feast of reason" with good taste ■ and ready wit. ' After a selection by the oMhestra Mrs. Belle Burton was called upon to ••• welcome the guests, a duty whfch'she J gracefully performed. The response was made by C. F. Field Who took for his theme the words of Lamartine: / “ W oman is at the beginning of all great . things." ./ "" . \; After a solo by Mr$. Belle Headerj shott, sung in that lady’s usual charm- .. j ing manner, Mrs. Sadie Cook discussed- J “The Club Woman’s Husband^ And ’Si her discussion of that. individual was '•< witty and entertaining to a high degree.’ She was of the opinion that it migtyt not 7j be detrimental to women’s clubs if club women's husbands were admitted to . some of the privileges of the club, and . . even permitted to vote ru such impor- 1 taut questions as, “I move that we ad­ journ,” or “I move that the bill be al­ lowed.” ’ Dr. C. H. Barber then saqg a baas ~' solo with excellent effect. , > .., “Our Own Fair State” was the theme upon which Mrs. Phyllis Reynolds " based a glowing description of Michl-^t | gan, making her hearers proud that _• they lived in such a fair and prosperous commonwealth. The “end man” on the program was “j the Hon. Clement Smith, whose sub- J Ject was “Our Hostess, The Hastings J Women’s Club,” and barring his audaclous “give away” of the editor of the Herald, who he insinuated had gotten / hold of his notes and made use of them for his own (the editor's) toast, we heart­ ily approve of all he said. Seriously, however, Judge Smith was, as usual, 5 very felicitous in his humor, and equal­ ly Impressive in his argument. He . closed his remarks with an eloquent : 4 and logical plea for the proposed Car­ negie library. .

J. Patterson oi the Man-laud sta­ tion. There are three factors iu the feeding of animals that are as much neglected as any other, and. In fact, many people have come to study tbe needs for mak­ ing a ■'well balanced ration" and have entirely Ignored these essentials. The attention to shelter, comfort and kind­ ness for animals will save many a pound of food and do much toward In­ creasing the products obtained, no mat­ ter whether the returus are to oe work performed, milk and butter or meat products. Winter quarters for animals should be warm and dry and should be furulsbed with plenty of pure air and good sunlight. Stables should be well ventlluted, but without being drafty. There is entirely too little attention paid to having the stable well lighted, especial iy to having such arrangements as to admit of a flood of sunlight. Sunlight Is an effective destroyer of disease germs. v Whatever adds to the comfort of uni mate Increases their ability to properly utilize tbe food and will enable them to give better returus for that which te being consumed. Kindness is an effldent aid In making animate more productive, and it costs nothing.

In feeding for beef very different rules may be used as a guide from feed­ ing for milk. Even with the calf the ' object is to produce as much fat as possible, at tbe same time making growth. If possible, the calf fat with which it is born should never be lost, but continually added to. This means forcing with plenty of mhscle and fat­ making foods. In feeding for beef more attention should be paid to the age of the animal and period of fattening than is commonly practiced.

This certainly, will not be burdensome. To tbe great majority of our taxpayers it would not add 82 a year to their taxes. Looked at as a financial investment, it is prob­ able that a fine public library would add to the attractiveness of Hastings as a residence town enough value in dol­ lars and cents to offset the slight in­ crease in taxation. This is an age of intense oompetition, not only between Individuals, but between communities . as well. The city thst stands back and lets opportunities to Increase its at­ tractiveness slip by is going to be left behind. Our neighbor, Charlotte, Is ■fully alive to the fact and is consequent­ ly forging right to the front. It has no greater—in fact not so great—natural advantages than this city- Shall we allow Charlotte toget tbe start of us in this matter of a public library? The citizens of that town took up the Car­ negie project with characteristic en­ ergy and naw they are expending the 812000 which the multi-millionaire has given them in a magnificent library building, and they have guaranteed to spread upon the tax roll yearly here­ after the sum of 81200 to support the Now Hastings can as easily raise 81,­ 000 a year; in consideration of a 810,000 gift as Charlotte can raise 81,200 for a 812,000 gift. The question is, do the people of this city think this project is worth their while? Is it worth the •light cost which goes with it? Cer­ tainly, if schools are worth supporting, if those things which enlighten, uplift, broaden and give culture to a commun­ ity are worth the ooet, a free public li­ brary and reading room is worth the effort. Certainly if it is worth the' while to improve the mind aod inspire the heart of our youth with something more worthy of their thoughts and am­ bitions than the merest humdrum ca­ reer of narrow, eelf-oeutered existence, it is worth while to put In their posses­ sion the means of culture and rational William Murray died yesterday morning at the home of his daughter, Mrs. John Lahr, in the third ward.

Quite a little excitement prevailed on the street yesterday morning over the report that there were several cases of smallpox in the city. The boerd of health met and decided that the families of Frank Nash, where Mr. Nash is sick, and John Thompson, where Mrs. Thompson is sick, should be quarantined and an effort made to stamp out the disease and prevent its spread. Tbe Herald has been reliably in­ formed that tbe diseases called wood itch, Cuban itch, pustular eruptions, and eruptions following grip are noth­ ing but modified forms of smallpox, and if some effort is not made to prevent the spreading of the diseases, they will sim­ ply spread. . The form of smallpox now in the city is not nearly as serious as an epidemic of measles, as a death very rarely oc­ curs. It is well, however, not to leave the bars down. Dr. H. B.

THE LAST OF AN INTERESTING SERIES OF ARTICLES. Written by Mrs. Fanny M. Tower, Whose Descriptions of the Sights Have Been Well Received. The Arlington National Cemetery is located on the Virginia hills beyond the Potomac. At Arlington sleep 16,000 soldiers, who died in the war of the Union. We took the route through Georgetown across tbe Aqueduct bridge and passed through the reservation of Fort Myer to tbe Fort Myer's gate lead­ ing into the cemetery, the other route takes one across the historical long bridge to the Memorable gates, one of them named for Ord and Weitzel, an­ other for Sheridan; by whatever gate we enter the grounds we come to Ar­ lington bouse. The house is now occu­ pied by the superintendent of tbe grounds. In the room at tbe left of the ball, formerly the main drawing room, a register is kept for all guests and of course we registered our names. On the walls are hung sketched plans of the cemetery, and framed copies of the ad­ dresses and orations becoming the place. There was nothing in the bouse in the way of furniture. There were glrlsselling various souvenirs acd photographs of the grounds, with frames made from tbe old flooring that was taken from tbe mansion, they were polished and looked very pretty and sold for 85 and 86. An old colored woman came in while we stood there with horse-chestnuts in her apron she bad gathered and sold them for five cents a piece. The mansion stands on the brow of the hill, whose slope stretches away a half mile to the Potomac, 200 feet below. Tbe view here opening before one, has been pronounced one of the rarest ever beheld. Below flows the placid Poto­ mac, and from its farther shores rises Georgetown and Washington, and be­ yond, the encircling hills roll away to the horizon. In the far north stands out the white tower of the soldiers’ home; in the south are tbe spires of Alexandria. The view is wide and far reaching, and it has many attractions upon which the eye lingers long, but Washington is ever its central and com­ manding feature. Tbe grounds of Arlington are noble। in adornment. Ths art of the land­ scape gardener has beautified the sur­ roundings; there are flower-beds and lawns and a profusion of ornamental trees and shrubs, but above what the skill of man has done, and beyond it all, one recognizes the majestic beauty of the site itself, with iu slopes and ra­ vines and tbe hillsides crowned with oaks. Disposed here and there about tbe grounds are bronze tablets inscribed with the solemn measures of Col. Theo­ dore O’Hara’s elegiac, “The Bivouac of the Dead.” Tbe most impressive sight at Arling­ ton Is that of the field of the dead on the level plateau, where the headstones stretch away In lines endless to the vision. The stones are set in rows uni­ form in distances one from the other, arrayed in order and marshaled as battalions for review—a silent army of 16,000 strong. The headstones are of tbe simple pattern adopted in the year of 1872, for air the cemeteries. On each marble or granite slab is in­ scribed the name of the soldier whose name it marks with his state and the □umber by which he has been enrolled in the roll of honor. In the garden-plot to tbe south rises the temple o( fame, an open circular colonnade with low domed roof, and □ear by stands the memorial monument of tbe unknown dead. Two thousand one hundred end eleven nameless sol­ diers are gathered here in one common grave, their homes, their friends, all unknown. The Simple story, is told in the letters chiseled\?n the monuments granite face. Beneath this stone repose tbe bones of twdthousand one hundred a(id eleven unknown soldiers gathered after the war from the fields of Bull Run and the route to the Rappahannodks. Their re­ mains could not be identified but their names and deaths are recorded in the archives of their country, and its grate­ ful citizens honor them as of their noble army of martyrs. May they rest in peace. September, A. D. 1866. The slope east of Arlington house has been set apart for the graves of the officers. Near the house is the grave of General Philip H. Sheridan, whose rest­ ing place is marked by a dignified monu­ ment of granite and bronze,, adorned with a medallion portrait and'flag and wreath. Many of those who died in the Span­ ish Mid Philippine wars are buried at Arlington. “Arlington house was built in 1802. The portico with its great Doric columns was modeled after that of the Temple of Theseus at Athena. The builder of Arlington was George Wash­ ington Parke Custis, son of John Parke Custis, whose widowed mother became Mrs. Martha Washington. When Col. John Parke Custis died at the siege of Yorktown, Washington adopted as his own the two children, George Wash­ ington Parke Custis and Eleanor Parke Custis, thenceforward Custis was a member of the Mount Vernon house­ hold until after the death of Mr. Wash­ ington in 1802, when be removed to his Arlington estate, enjoying honored dis­ tinction as the adopted sen of Washing­ ton and entertaining with lavish hospi­ tality. He drew to Arlington annual hosts of visitors and friends. Lafayette was among the distinguished guests. The rooms of the mansion were stored with a rich collection of Washington mementos and memorials, most of them brought from Mount Vernon some of which are now io the national museum and others are in their original places at Mount Vernon. Upon the death of Custis, Arlington passed to the children of his only daughter, Mary Custis Lee, wife of Robert E. Lee, of the U. 8. army, to whom she had been married in 1831 In the drawing room of Arling­ ton house where today visitors register their names. When the civil war came Col. Lee resigned from the fekeral ser­ vice and In 1861 be left Arlington and with his family went tc Richmond, there to take command of the Virginia troops and after to become the commander-inchief of the confederate army. Hardly bad the Lee's gone out when the feder­ al troops took possession and converted the mansion into a headquarters and the grounds into a camp. Then as the war went on the battles were fought a hospital was established here and when available cemetery grounds no longer sufficed for the burial of the dead, the level plateaus and grassy slopes of Ar­ lington were by order of Quartermaster General Meigs devoted to a purpose of a military cemetery. The first grave prepared was for & confederate prisoner who bad died in Lbe hospital. The total number of dead buried at Arling­ ton during the war and since is about 17,000. In the year of 1864 the property was sold for delinquent taxes, and the government bought it, paying $26,000. In 187’ George Washington Custis Lee, heir under the Custis will, established bis legal title to the property and the claim was adjusted to his satisfaction by the payment to him by the United States of tbe sum of 8150,000.” I regret very much that the articles in connection with our trip to Washing­ ton did uot appear from week to week until completed, but it has been im­ possible for me to spare tbe time, al­ though when asked by the Herald to give the account of the trip I anticipat­ ed writing every week. I sincerely hope that what I have written has been interesting to all, and with this I close the description of tbe trip which I will never regret taking. Mrs. Fanny M. Tower. The Hee ALD has received many com­ pliments for the articles written by Mrs. Tower from those who took in the trip as well as others. Those who vis­ ited Wasbington praise her descriptions very highly and we are sure that all our readers have appreciated the arti­ cles.—Editor. PLAlN TALK.

Current Opinion. Monroe Doctrine Not Involved. It is well to remember that the Mon­ roe doctrine has no more to do with the oppression of a South American state than with Lhe oppression of a European state. It was not enunciated for tbe benefit of South America, but for tbe benefit of tbe United States. It is main­ tained to protect tbe Interests of this country alone, and not to protect the interests of anybody else. The “oppres­ sion” of Venezuela by Germany. Great Britain and Italy is of no more concern to the United States than Its oppression by Colombia so long as the territorial and political integrity of tbe country are not impaired. We are not the judge of the justice of any nation’s cause against, a South American republic. The historical position of the United . States has drawn the line only at the Seizure of territory and the acquisition of soverelg n ty. For th e rest, th e Sou th American countries are bn a par with all other states so far as the Monroe doctrine is concerned. They must take care of themselves in their quarrels. It is not the province of the United States to scream whenever a South ’ American republic is kicked.—Detroit Free Press. Great Transportation Plans. The business of this country is grow­ .. ing faster than tbe means of taking care • of It. A great part of this business con­ centrates or congests in the trunk lines which connect New York, Philadelphia and Boston with the west, and the train service on these lines is a marvel of sys­ tem. There is very little holding upmf trains to let others pass. There are multiple tracks, and each one is a sort. of chute upon which trains follow each other at short intervals, all bound in tbe same direction. The New York Cen­ tral has its regular four-track system and tbe tracks of the West Shore in ad­ dition. President Cassatt of the Penn­ sylvania railroad has just approved plans for developing and extending that road. The plans include a six-Arack connection between Philadelphia and New York, at a cost of 810,000,000. Six tracks are also planned for the main line between Philadelphia and Lancas­ ter, and the six-track system may ulti­ mately be extended to Pittsburg. A financial scheme to empower Che man­ agement to raise 8500,000.000 is tbe pre­ liminary step to carrying out the gen-, era! plan.—Detroit Tribune.

It is more than likely that tbe great pressure which ir being brought to bear upon Governor Bliss to induce him to appoint Thomas J. Navin member of the Jackson prison board will be suc­ cessful. The McMillan men are work­ ing for Navin, and these men are in­ fluential. Then, tbe ex-convict has a largo following of political friends In Detroit and Js himself a shrewd aod successful politician of tbe baser sort. V He,has the rather questionable taste of wanting to be trustee over the prison | in which he was himself at one time an Inmate, “doing time” for a very serious .. crime. . The fact that Mr. Navin has at one ;•/. time been a criminal would not of ‘ . course constitute In itself an insuperable objection to his appointment, though it would seem a very good reason why a man of finer sensibility would not de­ i ' sire such an honor. If he has “lived r down” his disgrace and regained the esteem of his fellow men, bls past career may properly be overlooked and his present worth alone recognized. He certainly has shown himself to be a man of strong will and engaging personality to have so far overcome the odium which attaches'to flagrant transgression of the law, as to have reached a leading place In Wayne county politics. But aside from his personal history is t? Tom Navin the right man to appoint to a position that should demand the higheat civic virtues in the incumbent? Can a man who has figured conspicuously in ring polltjfs In a large city, command . the esteem of the people of Michigan? Is there anything whatever in bis career, except the fact that he is person­ ally familiar with the workings of tbe prison, that shows any fitness for the position he asks for? Would a man possessed of any delicacy of sentiment, any refinement or sense of fitness, any .genuine, heartfelt repentence for his past misdeeds, think of asking for this honor, but would he not rather wait un­ til such a compliment came to him un­ . sought If It came at all? It would seem like questions of, this sort would arise io tbe minds of the govK':-'s ernor, and of tbe senators and cause them to hesitate before gratifying the Strange, not to say impudent, request of Mr. Navin. But tbe indications L point to the Detroiter’s appointment. ; The influence of the political bosses is , strong and the governor will yield. Nevertheless It is pretty safe to say that Tom Navin's appointment to the prison board will not be approved by the bet­ . ter sentiment of tbe people of Michigan. A BILL to compel fit’® insurance com­ panles to pay the full amount of their policies in case of Idfe by fire has been introduced in the legislature. Without regarding the express provisions of the £ bill, its purpose appears to be based on (. equity. When a company has issued a larger policy on property than the property is worth, not being at ail scrup­ ulous in getting as large n preumtum as I . possible, it ought to be obliged to live up to tbe letter of its contract. If it is • willing to accept a 82,000 policy on a •1,000 house, it ought also to be willing to pay the 12,000 in case of loss. Such a law as is proposed would make the in­ surance companies careful in assuming risks and prevent much litigation. . . ADDITIONAL LOCAL. Fred L. Heath is on the sick roster.

It was one of tbe bravest deeds ever seen on the plains," be affirmed, “and we’ll greet him properly with a band and a parade and a ball—the ball of tbe season. You must see to that, Jeanne.” The colonel's daughter lifted spar­ kling eyes from the newspaper. “It was glorious,” she breathed, "glori­ ous r She bent over tbe paper, her cheek* glowing. Over and over she had read the account of Lieutenant Welsoll's gallant charge on the Indian stronghold at Checauba gulch.

She loved tbe colonel not so much because he was her father aa because he was her hero. And even the colonel could point to no Detter day’s work than thia of little Lieutenant Weisoll’a.

Like bls girl, be was a hero worshiper. Sud dcnly be remembered something and. after a moment’s frowning, spoke; “Why. Jeanne, there’s a little gossip down In town.

When drunk, be has given out that Lieutenant Welaoll Is hie brother and j baa told a story that may be true.

Lieutenant Wei •Oil never turned aside. Tbe right of way be took, like many short men of pompous mien, as a matter of course. Harvey was not quite pompous, not even tonight when be felt his pride and happiness complete. He knew that be bad won more than glory. He talked gayly of the romance in this frontier town and of how dreary it bad seemed at first “How I want­ ed an exchange!” he cried, then softly. “And now I want a life tenure.” She flushed and smiled. “Well, the old dust certainly has a wonderful, roseate glow." Behind them walked tbe colonel, silent and thoughtful, and several ladies and officers. In the main street before the little frame hotel a crowd of town idlers and soldiers were gathered. Tbe strains of violin music came from tbe center of the group, and there was a hush over the square. For once Lieu­ tenant Welsoll turned aside and cross­ ed tbe street to avoid tbe men. Mis* McDermonfs eyes were intent upon them, but suddenly she glanced up ar her companion with something of anx­ iety aod doubt Some one on the outskirts of the crowd caught sight of tbe lieutenant stant confusion, and the crowd began to break.

The musician, seeing, cried out: "Why. Harvey, Pm John. John—your brother John!” His voice rose to a frightened shriek. “Come!” snapped Welsoll to Jeanne. 'Come, come!” She whispered in pained amazement, “But your brother, John; your brother —your broth erf’ He felt the pain in her voice. His face was crimson. Tbe colonel and the ladles and the officers were close upon them. The man with the violin, weak and dazed, but not drunk now, Htood before them, his hands oatstretched. "I never saw this fellow before. Jeanne.” The lieutenant spoke loudly. “I have no brother. This Is merely a drunken joke. I”— His voice had risen to a shrill pitch. His face had gone from crimson to white, and she knew that he was ly­ ing. She saw the eyes of the fallen and denied brother fill with tears. E? turned away. Jeanne turned on the lieutenant "You coward!” she cried In ringing tones. "You coward”’ He shrank back before her scorn. She turned to the brother and, putting out both her hands, clasped his band that held the bow. "I’m glad to know you. John Wel­ soll.” she said brokenly. “I’m proud to know you.

Lake Odessa Is undergoing an ex­ perience similar to thia city. Dr. Ranney has written a letter to the Lake Odessa authorities most of which ap­ plies with equal force to Hastings. We therefore reproduce from last weeks’ Wave, what this gentleman says: The epidemic of smallpox that ha* t>een prevailing not only in Michigan but in other states of the union ana in Canada has been so mild as to make it a matter of comment by physicians and medical journals, and its very mlldbes* has been one great cause of its spreadlug, people resting under a false sense of security, not recognizing the dimreee until associated with the mild cases a severe form of the disease developee. Here as in other places throughout the state, the disease is seldom found except among the unvaccinated, the exception being among those who are advanced in years who were vaccinated when quite young, in whoee cases the power of protection afforded by vacci­ nation has been weakened by time. Vaccination is an absolute protection of smallpox and the disease could be made to entirely disappear if vaccina­ tion could be carried out as it is in the German army where the disease is un­ known. I would respectfully advise that you recommend and strongly urge vaccina­ tion to all who have not been success­ fully vaccinated within five or six years, quarantine all infected people and houses and discontinue all meetings, except the schools. . The school teachers should report all absentees to the chairman of the board of health, and the cause of such absence should be known, and if found to be on account of smallpox the necessary quarantine established at once. ‘ General vaccination, a prompt and efficient quarantine and thorough dis­ infection as required will soon stamp out the epidemic, prevent * largo amount of sickness, do away with a loathsome disease and prevent a great lore of money which would result in the interruption of business by neglecting these measures.

CAME NEAR UNTO DEATH Letter to Mr. W. Peck, Hastings Mich, CHRISTIANS OP ALL DENOMINA­ TIONS APPEALED TO. Prominent Men of the Country, Min­ isters and Laymen, on Commit­ tee Signing Appeal. Tbe Lenten season has of late years —owing to the special emphasis placed upon it by some branches of the Church, and the resulting temporary staying of the tide of worldliness and.frivolity at that time—proved peculiarly favorable to the promotion of religious interest. Its connection with the death and resurrection of our Lord increasingly recognized in all branches of the church, would seem to make it a most opportune time for the quickening of Christians for spiritual life and service. We therefore respectfully suggest a plan for making the most of this Lenten opportunity this year for the further­ ance of the spiritual advance for which the present crisis so urgently calls. DAY OF HUMILIATION AND PRAYER. Would not every minister or leader receiving this appeal do well to prepare for and Initiate this movement by mak­ ing February 25, 1903, known as "AshWednesday,” a special day of humili­ ation and prayer? Let him invite his people to join in confession and in humiliation in view of past sins and shortcomings and in supplication and intercession before God, on the basis of Luke xi:l-13, for the blessings of which the Churches stand in such perishing need. x That the praying may not be of that general and indefinite kind that never brings answer, the committee enumer­ ates some of the things for which there is pressing call for prayer: 1. For the return to absolute faith in the Bible as the inspired, authorita­ tive Word of God, and as furnishing the Churches tbeik; only credentials and message; and for an immediate revival of earnest and systematic study of that Word in order to learn what God would have us do in the present condition. 2. For a quickened sense of the sin­ fulness of sin. and of man’s lost and hopeless condition without Jeaas Christ. 3. For a new vision of the greatness, sufficiency, efficiency and efficacy of the atonement of Jesu. Christ as the only hope for lost man. 4. For an overwhelming sense of the obligation and responsibility, “bn the part of evdry disciple of Christ, for wit­ nessing to the lost soul—and to all lost souls he can reach—of the saving power of Christ, and urging the Immediate acceptance of salvation through Him. 5: For a mighty outpouring of, and euduement of the Holy Spirit that the Church throughout the entire nation may be equipped to do her God-ap­ pointed work in sharing the mission of the. Master in seeking and saving the lost. . j We think it would be well that on that day. the church doors should be thrown open from morning until the close of the evening service, and that the Christian community be urged to come in silence to the house of God, at any . convenient hour, and there in । genuine travail of soul, pray for a national and universal revival of the revival of the religion of Ohrist.

May we not ask every ministerial as­ sociation, and other similar organiza­ tions of clergymen and laymen, to take this matter energetically in hand at each local point, and let the coming month of March witness, in God’s good pleasure, the greatest evangelistic up­ rising that has ever taken place in the history of the Church of Christ in America?

Freer property on south Broadway for purpoMecrf a pest boose In from Spreading. Since the Herald went to press last week there have .been several new cases of smallpox reported, all of them being mild. To be more accurate, there have been nine new cases eince last Thursday noon—a remarkably small number considering the number of exposures which must have occurred before the presence of the disease was discovered. Of course there is a possi­ bility of more cases, as the time be­ tween exposure and the first stages of the disease has not quite passed in some instances. The physicians have been very vigilant, however, and Health Officer Barber is hopeful that the prog­ ress of the disease has been stayed. Of the nine new cages of the week, only one is in a bouse not previously under quarantine—that ot Mrs. Frank Hams,, which was reported Monday. Besides the twenty-six cases, there are two or three persons under the doctors’ care whose symptoms are such as make it possible that they are in the incipi­ ent stages of smallpox. These cases are under strict surveillance. In fact the possibilities of spreading the dis­ ease are being reduced to a minimum through the prompt and thorough course of the physicians and authorities. One fact worthy of note concerning the present epidemic is that not a sin­ gle case has occurred, if we have been correctly informed, in which the pa­ tient has been vaccinated. In the family of Frank Nash the only one who has escaped thus far at least, was vacci­ nated a year ago. Undoubtedly the situation here as to the prevalence of smallpox has been greatly exaggerated in the surround­ ing country so that many.farmers have been afraid during ^be past week to come to town. This feeling was natur­ al enough, and it is unfortunate that one of our contemporaries greatly in­ tensified it by its sensational and scare­ headed account. So far as the Hebald is concerned, we have tried to tell the facts just as they are, without exaggeration on the one hand or concealment on the other. That the Herald’S course has been appreciated, has been made evident many times during the past week by the commendatory words which its course has elicited. As a final word in this article, the Herald believes that it can say with­ out danger of misrepresentation that there is practically no risk to the farm­ ers iu coming to town to trade or do ocher business. The vigorous measures which have . been taken to stamp out the disease have made fhe ordinary channels of business as safe, ’probably as they usually are. We make this statement after care­ fully investigating the conditions and after consultation with the city physic­ ian, Dr. & A. Barber, who assures us that the possibility of contracting small­ pox while tn the city for the purpose of trading is exceedingly remote. consideration of six hundred and fifty dollars be ratified by the common council and the mayor and recorder authorized to draw dty order In sum of six hundred and fifty dollars for purchase of same provided said C.

He married Miss Kate Geiger, who with four children survives him. The child­ ren are Mrs. B. C. Cortright, George,. Julia and Wilbur. Mr. Polley was universally popular and although the township was strong­ ly against him politically, was elected supervisor year after year, and held that office at the time of his death.

Washington Letter. ■ . . >. Washington, D. C., February 9, 1903. Senator Mark Hanna has Introduced In the senate a bill which because of its bare-faced purpose of catching the ne­ gro vote and the negro ap­ pointments c ent Roosevelt, would be ludicrous were it not capable ol being made the means of defrauding thousands of Ignorant and trusting people. Senator Hanna’s bill proposes to pension every ex-alave and the relatives of such ex-slaves as have elderi members of their families dependent on t hem. The pensions are to vary from 14 per moath for slaves under fifty to 815 per month for slaves seventy and over. Moreover, bonuses are to be paid to Mich m prove eligible tor pensions ranging from 8100 for those aged fifty *• the bill was introduced, Mr. Irankly admitted tbM.be had no he had Introduced it, as to wno were ana wno were aot, paslaves would be practically Hnporaible to procure and the law would be made the excuse for voting thousands of pri­ vate pensions to negroes by legislators anxious to secure the negro vote. While Senator Hanna’s pension bill is obviously a hid for negro support in the next national convention, its worst feature is the end to which it will be put by unscrupulous persons. Senator Mason introduced a similar measure some years ago aud it is estimated that certain “educated negroes” who form­ ed the “Ex-slaves Federation’! coll vot­ ed from the negroes In the South up­ wards of 8200,000 for registry, repre­ senting that registry by the association would insure to them the benefits of the proposed pensions as soon as the law passed- The bill, as do all measures introduced In Congress, bore the legend “Read twice and referred to the committee on, etc.” and it was represented to the negroes that having been read twice it would require but one more reading’ and they must lose no time in becoming enrolled. The “Federation” was finally barred from the use of the -mails. According to the senate leaders, the anti-trust program of this session of congress to completed in so far as the upper chambeivis concerned. The pas­ sage of the Elkins bill is expected In the house. The Littlefield bill, itself UM) mild in Ils provisions to correct any of the trust abuses, was passed by the House on Saturday but will be buried in a senate committee where it will never see the light of day. The senate program 1 Deludes the appropriation of 8500,000 for the employment of expert attorneys In the prosecution of anti­ trust cases; a law making anti-trust cases privileged in the courts; penalties for granting and receiving rebates on transportation charges, provided by the Elkins law; and a wholly inadequate publicity provision attached to the bill creating a department of commerce and labor. Reviewing the “senate program’' a prominent democratic senator, who re­ quested that his name be withheld, sarid to your correspondent today: “Anti-trust legislation by the republi­ can party was bound to be a farce. It is ridiculous to suppose that the repub­ licans are going to enact legislation which would curtail the profits or be otherwise objectionable to the very in­ terests which have sent them here and keep them in congress. Some of the provisions are fairly good. The 8500,­ 000 for the attorney general is all right if properly administered, but that is a larg6 if. If, as Is' probable, it goes to favored attorneys iu the republican party it will be worse than wasted. The law for expediatlng anti-trust cases is excellent. The Elkins bill is all right as far as it goes. It should have been enacted years ago, however, and will now be powerless to effect the numerous trusts which have grown up in the past because of its non-existence. The publicity bill is a farce. Statistics are to be gathered, it is true, but what then? They are not to be published, except as the president may direct. There will be a close relationship between the statistics published and the generosity with which contributions are made to the republican campaign funds. It is merely a great club to be held over the trusts by the republican campaign managers. Incidentally, how do you suppose these north-western republicans who voted the republican ticket on the promise that the tariff would be reformed by its friends now? Representative Payne has announced that there will never be a revision of the tariff by the republican party—well we will see at the next election.

To dress a bouse Is to distribute an audi­ ence all over It so it looks full when it Is, as a matter of fact, far from being so. There are here enough people to fill about the first seven rowfl of the orchestra, but the house Is well dress­ ed. and on looking at It you have th,e Impression that It Is fairly well filled.

Col grove continues to hold a conspicuous place in the ranks of Michigan republicanism. At the Hncorn day banquet at Pontiac last Thurs­ day evening, Mr. Colgrove was among the speakers and the Daily Press of that city compHments'him very highly, as the following extracts from its ac­ count of the affair will indicate: "The masterly speech of P. T. Colgrove of Hastings was pregnant with interest to the greater part of the large audience and his theme, near to the heart and mind of every American in this great industrial age, touched a re­ sponsive chord in his auditors. Mr. Colgrove is a fluent speaker and his subject, ‘Relation of Labor to Politics,’ was bandied in a masterly manner.” “Mr. Colgrove in the course of his speech, voiced a great economic truth, when fie said that wealth was created in only two ways, ‘by the economic cheapening of prices and the increase in incomes. In this day and age, labor has been forced by combinations of cap­ ital to organize in order to look out for their interests.” "Baer and his divine right speech came in for a roasting at the hands of Mr. Colgrove. Said be,’ ‘We cannot permit even the Christian gcntletqen as spoken of by Mr. Baer to hold up the public. The public would willingly nave paid an increased price for coal,' as they did for meat, when Knox inves­ tigated the beef trust. He found that the price of feed bad gone up In the western slates and the public willingly paid the bill. They would pay more for coal, if they tfere assured that the men who slaved to mine the coal were receiving equable pay and that the doors of education were opened to the children of the miners.” ’ Letter to Miller & Wright, Hastings, Mich.

Robert Evans Is undoubtedly the original who suggested Adam Bede. Samuel Evans, the youngest son, was certainly the prototype of Beth Bede. Georgt Eliot (Mary Ann Evans) was tbe daughter of Adam Bede and tbe granddaughter of Thlas and Lisbeth. It will thus occur to the reader that in portraying Adam Bede our author was thinking of her own father and had the very best reasons for the state­ ment concerning her hero that be had a dash of Celtic blood in his veins.—W. Mottram In Leisure Hour. Most girls and some boys have played in their time tbe game of dibs or knucklebones or jackstone*, but few of them know that the game bas existed since the third century B. C. and Is probably still older. How it was played in ancient days no one can tell, but the ankle joint bones of the sheep, ox. deer and pig were used, and the game was called “astragal.’’ from the Latin word for the ankle joint In Bcotlend peb­ bles are often employed, whence the name "chuckles.” Even precious stones and gold and bronze “stones” have been used, and In some countries tbe bones were marked with numbers and colored to represent kings, queens, knaves nnd pawns. Here Is the proper way to pop corn: Put the regular quantity—that Is. a very small quantity—Into the popper and hold It under the cold water fau­ cet long enough to thoroughly saturate the kernels. Shake the popper and place It on the back of the range to al­ low the corn to dry. Then pop. The kernels will be very large, aud there will be no hard center. Tbe red pop­ corn Is thought to be the best. One of the remarkable things about the superstition of the "evil eye” is that It is often attributed to whole peo­ ples by others who dislike or hate them.

The Now Department of Commerce K, Probably the most momentous piece of legislation which has been enacted of late years is the act creating the new . cabinet office of secretary of commerce. . Such constructive legislation Is from , Ito very nature far-reaching, perhaps E epoch making, in its consequences. ! Once established, a cabinet office with ite department bureaus is destined to exert forever after a permanent In­ fluence upon the national life. Generally speaking, the tendency to create new departments of governI ment, Is to be deprecated. Tbe cre­ ation of a new cabinet office carries with it the forming of several new ■ bureaus, the filling of a multitude of Dew offices with political place-seekers, and the enlargement of political patron­ age. It means centralization of power ... Bt Washington and a new step towards that bureaucratic system of govern­ ment that characterizes the French re­ . public and makes it so Inferior to our own more democratic system of local ■ self government. But in spite of all such conalderaI lions, it is possible that tbe tremendous growth of our internal commerce with ' Ito multifarious interests and its need of careful and wise regulations will justify the creation of the department of com­ merce. The internal commerce of the United States has reached the incon­ : eeivable volume of 420,000,000,000 a year, greater than that of the foreign ; • oommerce of the whole world. It may . well be that such mighty financial in­ -. teresta may be protected, advanced and more fairly adjusted by having a spec-. , ■■ lai department in the national govern­ ment to represent them, In the enact­ ment and administration of laws that . affect interstate commerce, the rela­ tions of labor and capital, and all the . intricate problems that bear upon the business life of this great nation. It appears to be an inevitable conseI qnence of the growth of the United | States that the general government £ should be constantly more and more ] magnified aud that greater power g should be constantly centered in it. . For this very reason it behooves the friends of the republic as it was oonB oeived of by tbe fathers to be on their B guard against this centralizing ten■ denoy. Possibly, a department of com­ f meroc has come to be a necessity, but how long will It be before we shall have a cabinet office for labor, and one 5 •_ loraoience, and one for the fine arte? £ Certainly, with the creation of tbe departtnent of commerce with its wide B range of functions, there may well be a , halt in the centralization of executive 1 power, a process which from its very fc .iuuure weakens tbe stability of ourconp " fditutlonal scheme of government. No I true American wants to see the paterba! idea of government adopted in the United States. No Election Reform. It. la evident from the trend ot effaire Letsinsf that there will be no serious tempt to pu, ■ general primary elec» bill thia aeaaloa. Possibly a local •aaure lor Wayne county will go uwugh, though even that la doubtful, be politicians that manipulate ooninUon. do not want any election re­ rm and these poJitleians are all powIW at Lansing thia winter, as indeed iff bare been in other winters. eandldetw lurid- of !ie I campaign, Uxmgh not very entbnaiartieallylt must be admitted, to pri­ mary election reform. Ite platform contained a plank favoring this reform and Ito speakers and newspaper* dur­ ing the campaign pretended at leaet that a primary election law would be enacted attbe next aeealon of tbe legis­ lature. But there seems to have been very little good faith back of it all. The Navins aud Atwoods and Judsons who run the party have no use for a reformlhat would take away their power and the complacent law makers are not going to fall over each other in tt-eir haste to interfere with the existing or­ der of things. And so tbe people of Michigan will have to be content with the present corrupt caucus and convention system of nominating candidates for office. Their wishes don’t count for much at Lansing. They should know that the promises of the republican party made before an election are not made to be kept. The politicians know best what is good for the dear poople and the dear people should not complain if anteelection promises are forgotten. That is to say, so long as the republican party is kept in power in Michigan. Tbe democratic party, in its simple, honest way, acts on th’e theory that its promises are to be kept. The only genuine election reform attempted in Michigan in years was inaugurated by the democrats during tbe Winans ad­ ministration—the present Australian ballot system. If, then, the people of Michigan really want a primary election law, let them put the democrats In power at Lansing, and their wishes will be re­ spected. It is doubtful whether they ever will be before. Hoglo-DIttmar. A unique and pretty weeding occur­ red at tbe hour of two this afternoon when Clair M., daughter of Mr. and Mrs. E. Y. Hogle plighted troth to William E. Dlttmar. The ceremony was performed at the bride's paternal home, 415 South Michigan avenue, there being fifty guests comprising rel­ atives and intimate friendk to witness the taking of the vows. Miss Anna Orr at the hour appointed sounded the strains of Mendelssohn’s wedding march to the sweet notes of which the bride accompanied by her father, de­ scended tbe stair from the upper apart­ ments. They passed through the hall­ way to tbe rear parlor and thence to the deception room. As they ap­ proached the latter apartment, curtains of tendrlled smllax which draped the archway between the two rooms were swung inside by petite damsels through which the couple passed, meeting the groom upon tbe threshold. The bridal pair took their station before an altar of palms and ferns, the service being spoken by Rev. W. L. Holmes of Grand Rapids, uncle of the bride, with Rev. C. E. Allen of this city assisting, while Miss Orr called forth the pleading ca­ dence of “Oh Promise Me.” The bride was gowned In peau de sole and carried liberty roses and maiden hair ferns. The ushers, Esther Dittmar and Linda Quinn, nieces of tbe groom, were dressed in white. Throughout, the home was decked with the green of ferns, smllax and palms, effective bank­ ings of tropical plants being every­ where in evidence. Both the young people are known to a large circle of friends. The bride, although her resi­ dence In this city has been for but a short span of years, is universally ad­ mired for her graces and accomplish­ ments. Following a wedding luncheon, the bridal couple left on tbe 4:45 p. m. train for Grand Rapids and other west­ ern points and will be at home after March 1, taking up their temporary residence with the bride’s parents, 415 South Michigan avenue.—Saginaw Evening News, Feb. 1}.' Sandbagged In Allegan. Last Thursday evening, Dr. Marie Horton-Baine was sandbagged. She says sbe was struck put below tbe neck on her beck as sbe was as attempting to enter tbe hallway to her rooms on Locust street. .She went ecross the street to mall some letters and noticed a very suspicious looking man on Dry­ doo's corner, tbe same one that, made her very nervous while waiting lor a train recently at Grand Rapids, the fel­ low following her about until she be­ came greatly alarmed. At various limes abo noticed this loafer here and sbe believes be was hired by her re­ cent husband aa she says he threatened her life before they separated. The doctor says she sullen greatly from nervousness as sbe fears her life. She was oondned to her bed several days as a result ot the sandbagging. The weapon used looked very much like a small sack of sugar. The doctor hss lately suffered greatly from lacerated feelings, due to gossip and her recent troubles, and It is a little too much u> be sandbagged, wbec she IS peaceable and lew other people alone. We would suggest that tba nightwatch pay espec­ ial attention to this aud of town In tbe luiare aud thoa if possible ar old a re- HASTINOS OR Parties From Outside Want to Take PEAS AND ASPARAGUS. It Away Bat Little Effort Will As announced last week, C. G. May­ wood has an option on Ben|ley, Rider A Co.’s plant in this city. He would, much rather keep it here than move it away, but be informs tbe Herald that some inducements must be made or out it goee. There is no doubt in tbe mind of tbe writer but that this plant, which now manufactures telephone boxes and lawn hose reels, can be made one of tbe flourishing institutions of tho city. Bentley, Rider & Co. now have more business offered them than they can handle with the present facilities. " . We understand that If the taxes were remitted for a term of five years and enough money donated so that neces­ sary improvements can be made, the plant will remain here and agree to employ a certain number of hands. At tbe present time we understand that the rate of Insurance is per cent,. If the buildings were covered with sheet-iron, a system of water pipes installed giving better fire pro­ tection, some new floors laid, dry kiln of 75,000 feet ^capacity and other im­ provements made, the rate could be cut to 4 per cent., which would be an addi­ tional inducement to investors. This week parties from outside have been here examining the plant with a view of taking it away from the city. By a little effort it can be induced to remain. Tbere’s no reason why, with tbe required capital, it cannot be placed in a position to employ from 75 to 100 hands and fill all orders that come. Mr. Maywood believes be could in­ duce an Outside party to come here and add the manufacture of sectional book­ cases. At least he has received several very favorable letters Implying such to be the case. Several of our bustlers have signified a willing neas to go down into their pockets and help the thing along. Now if someone will do a little canvassing the job will be completed and several workmen added to tbe dinner pail brigade—tbe life of our city. Three families have been released frvm quarantine this week, and only three new cases of smallpox developed in tbe families of Norton' Smith, Oscar Crook and P. E. Wiseman. The board of health now have tbe disease under control and there is absolutely no danger of being exposed. The families released from quarantine are A. D. Cadwallader’s, Mrs. Watson’s and Henry Wentworth’s. Notice to tire Public. Resolution closing all public meet­ ings and schools Is hereby revoked tak­ ing effect Feb. 22d, 1903.

To tbe easterner, ussd to bls garden bed of peas s few feet square, tbeddea of growing this product in beds of 2,600 acres and of harvesting and thrashing peas like so much wheat to a revelation, says tbe Scientific American. Tbe west just dow holds in store many such agri­ cultural surprteee for those from a dis­ tance. In Lcngmont, Colo., the land la pre­ pared for peas just as it is for wheat The regular wheat drills are used in sowing peas. Two rows of peas are sowed and then a space equal to that occupied by two rows is skipped, thus leaving twenty-one inches between tbe double rows for cultivation, and irriga­ tion purposes. When the pea vines be­ come large enough to cultivate, a corn cultivator is psed In throwing earth up to them. When five to six inches in height, a furrow Is made between the rows for water brought to the head of the rows in the,highest part of tbe field by a broad dltcb. At the harvesting .pf peas all are mowed down by a cutter which runs just beneath tbe ground. Then the hayracks arrive and great loads of peas op tbe vines are hauled to tbe nearby canning factory and are ready for the thrashing operation. The thrashing is done by means of machines constructed especially for the purpose. When the peas have been shelled by means of these machines, they next are put through grading machines which sort out the different sizes. Longmont boasts further of the lar­ gest asparagus bed in the wtyld. This bed comprises 120 acres and contains three-fourths of a million plants. The rows are about six feet apart, and the plants are twelve to fifteen Inches apart In the rows. The demand for aspara­ gus today is greater than tbe supply. One more agricultural novelty In Col­ orado is an eighty acre currant patch. Aa far as Is known, this Is the largest currant patch extant It Is situated, like the asparagus bed. at Longmont. In this currant patch there are 135,000 plants set out In rows seven feet apart The plants are three and a half feet apart In the rows. One hundred and fifty hands, old and young, are em­ ployed at picking time. One and onefourth cents per pound Is paid for pick­ ing. which enables expert pickers to make as high as $2.50 per day. A cur­ rant bush tn Colorado will produce at least a gallon of currants. Some pro­ duce ten gallons. Owing to Irrigation It Is claimed that tbe berries are supe­ rior in flavor to those grown under oth­ er conditions. A machine devised by M. Mazza, an Italian engineer, for increasing the amount of oxygen in the air Is de­ scribed by Le Genie Civil, Paris. Ac­ cording to this account of It, the appa­ ratus la essentially a centrifugal seposltor. On passing air Into It the oxygen molecules, being heavier than the nitrogen ones, have a tendency to concentrate at the periphery of thf ma­ chine. Consequently when air la drawn from thia surface It Is found to be rich­ er in oxygen than normal air—In fact, it is claimed that the oxygen content can be brought up to 26 per cent, com­ mon air containing 23.2 parts by weight of oxygen. The machine, however, acts at the same time as a blowing fan by which the oxygenated air Is delivered under a slight pressure, while the Im­ poverished air is drawn off continu­ ously from near Its center. It requires a two horsepower engine to operate a machine that will deliver 18,000 cubic feet of enriched air per hour. Toxic Germs. Toxic germs are the direct cause of Bright* disease of tbe kidneys. Brights disease consists of three forms—acute, sub-acute and chronic—which are tbe different stages of the disease. These germs are so irritable to tbe kidneys as to produce severe inflamstion 'of the kidneys which is characterized by se­ vere pain in the back, chills and fever, severe headache, dimness of vision, pain in back of tbe neck, puffiness of feet and ankles, a desire to'urinate fre­ quently but very scanty and1 highly colored in many cases, causing much pain and suffering if you have to get up many times at night to urinate, or have trouble in voiding tbe urine, tbe above symptoms denotes kidney and bladder trouble. The germs are doing their deadly work. You will find the Bas­ tard Kidney Cure, the great grrm de­ stroyer, destroys these germs in the system and kidneys and removes tbe cause of kidney and bladder trouble.

The next number of the Hastings Women's Club lecture course will be Leonard Garver's lecture on "Jean Valjean” from Victor Hugo's “Les Miserablea.” It will occur at the opera house on Saturday evening, March 7. The following received oy Mrs. F. R. Pancoast from SupL C. G. Wade of the Saginaw school is worthy of confidence, Mr. Wade being known to quite a number of our people: "I had the pleasure of hearing Mr. Leonard Garver Nov. 20. He was a splendid success here. He held the bt eathleaa attention of about 800 people (the best people in Saginaw too) for two and one-half hours. Much of the time you could have heard a pin drop. The Evening News gave him a full column next day.” The following are extracts from the the Saginaw Evening News: 4tIf there were any who stayed, away from the second number in the lecture course of the Knights of Columbus be­ cause Henry Austin Adams was unable to keep bis engagement, they may well regret it, for no finer evening’s pro­ gram could be imagined than last night’s audience’ enioyed. I^ooard Garver, the Californian reader, was the entertainer aud his audience com­ fortably filled the large auditorium at the Masonic temple. The story of Jean Valjean'was told in a way that probably no one present had ever heard it be­ fore. In his discussion of the sociolog­ ical theories in that great novel of Victor Hugo, while not at great length, Mr. Garver exhibited all the powers of the born orator In bis portrayal of the various roles in the narration of the story, Mr. Garver showed the highest histrionic ability. It was a tribute to his power that the large audience seemed, each and every one, to be wrapped up in the subject during the entire time of the lecture, which took two and a half hours. There was not a break in the audience and at times the proverbial pin couid have been heard to drop.” EXPENSIVE VALENTINE FREEPORT LODGE, K.

Not- the least objectionable feature of the late legislative junkenting tour is > the mercenary, not to say dishonest, spirit with which members have taken k advantage of it to raid the state treanary. The trip cost tbe members vir­ tually nothing. The railroads and ■ ’’ sleeping car companies gave them free E transportation, they were feasted and 'carried every where without a cent of K cost to themselves. It might be sup• posed tbat with such a chance to travel all over the northern peninsula, under I', especially pleasant conditions and witb­ out expense to themselves, these law S makers would have been content withK* . cut making their outing a money-mak­ I ing affair. But such is not the nature of your 5 modern legislator. Tbe chance for a / <4graft” was too good to be lost. These |r‘ thrifty gentlemen could not afford to | have such a picnic, even though It were ’ free, without turning an honest penny i •" at tbe expense of tbe state. Hence they made out their little bills for mile­ age, for sleeping car fare, for crossing f‘ the straits, all of which had been withg out a cent of cost to themselves, and 6 added an item of 83 a day for seven E days (including their stop In Chicago), E this last item being in addition to the regular S3 a day allowed them as mem­ bers of the legislature. In this ingenious and modest way the fc : junketers managed to present claims i' ranging from 850 to $62 each, the total & amounting to upwards of 83,000. It may be said in defense of this praclice, that legislators receive very small •- pay for serving the state and that the ineagerness of their compensation justi• ftos them in resorting to such expedentfl |.. to get even. But such reasoning is f specious. Men who accept legislative office know in advance what the compensation is to be and by their willing' new to accept the office virtually agree L tt> the compensation. They have no b moral right, whatever may be said of f. ‘ the legal and technical right, to mulct Sj the treasury by setting up claims foundf od upon merely technical services. Tbe [ WUttcm is certainly belittling to men o' jh. that high sense of honor which legisla{ tors ought to have. L" Navin’s Appointment. werncr Bliss has made a conspicuexhfbition of his unfitneee to be 1 mor by bis appointment at Thoms*1 ffsvin to s place on the Jackson « board. From whatever staod‘ t tbe act U viewed it is Incapable iHd defense. If be conferred the r upon Mr. Navin ** a reward for ■Ml eervices rendered, it shows i»u who has been diweredited in hi* own city and county. If be had cared to strengthen himself in Detroit and Wayne county he certainly would have ascertained the sentiment of that part of the state before sending in Navin’s name. On the contrary, it appears that be did not even consult tbe Wayne coqnty senators, two of the three voting against confirmation. Finally if he had regarded the moral sentiment of the people of Michigan, he would not have outraged it by ap­ pointing to a place on the prison board a man whose whole career ha* made him peculiarly unfit for the place. But not only must the governor be blamed for this unfit appointment. The ring of politicians that pushed the matter through the senate, strengthen­ ing the hands of the governor when he began to waver, making deals with senators, and at the opportune moment having Navin's name sent in and con­ firmed without debate, are equally rep­ rehensible. In fact the whole transac­ tion is discreditable to the republican party of Michigan, and well calculated, if anything could do so, to bring It int-o disrepute with the people. The New Secretary. The selection of George B. Cortelyou to be the first secretary of commerce is a fitting recognition of ability and adaptability, considered without regard to partisan availability. For this rea­ son tbe appointment will be received with perfect satisfaction by the whole country. Mr. Cortelyou has never been active In tbat kind of political life which is led by most men who reach cabinet positions. His public services have been entirely within the sphere of administrative work, first in the post office department io a subordinate ca­ pacity, and later in the executive man­ sion at Washington, where he has nerv-1 ed under three presidents, Cleveland, ' McKinley and Roosevelt. As an as­ sistant secretary and then as private secretary to tbe greatest executive of­ ficer in the world he has developed ad­ ministrative faculty in such a high de-' gree as to have convinced two presi­ dents that he was the best man toplace at the head of a new department of the government. Mr. Cortelyou therefore brings to bls task those qualities of administrative •kill and experience that ougbt'to be of great value in organizing a new and important department of government, with Its wide diversity of interests and intricacy of detail. Whether he can resist the importunities of partisan place hunters and establish the new de­ partment along the lines of civil service reform, remains to be seen. He cer­ tainly will have one great advantage in this respect, In that be owes his ap­ pointment to do partisan influence whatever and will therefore have no political dents to pay. He will be free to shape his policy without any dictat­ ion from tbe politicians of congress. Morgan As An Obstructionist. With all due respect to Senator Mor­ gan as a man of high abilities and pa­ triotic purpose, it Is nevertheless bard to reconcile bls obstructive tactics against the Panama bill with that broad spirit of statesmanship which he is gen­ erally given credit for possessing. Granted tbat his opposition Is founded on the firmest kind of conviction that the government is about to make a mis­ take in deciding upon tbe Panama route, instead of the Nicaraguan, yet ought any one senator to sat up his own opin­ ion against the combined opinion of all his colleagues? Ought be to resort to tbe questionable methods of the filibus­ ter, even to the extent of blocking other pending legislation of tbe highest im­ portance? It looks very ipuch a* if Senator Mor­ gan were actuated quite as much by obstinate pride in carrying bis point as by a desire to save the country from committing what he claims would be a great blunder.. Having championed one route with great persistency and ability for many years, he seems to be utterly unable to see anything good In any other route, and to have carried h!s partiality so far as to regard it a matter of personal honor to have his own way or prevent any canal being built. While not reflecting in the least upon the integrity of the senator, it is not unfair to pronounce his course as narrow and unreasonable. One man ought not to set himself up as wiser than all the rest of his countrymen. Having made a dignified and earnest fight against tbe Panama bill, he can well afford to leave tbe responsibility with the majority and lot tbe future show whether be was right or wrong.

Rev. Joseph W. Bancroft has been In failing health for several years and hence his death last Thursday morning did not come as a surprise to his friends, but his demise was none the lees a source of sadness to this city. For more than forty years his life has been 'an uplifting and helpful force in this community and bis death brought many expressions of regard and affec­ tion from the people among whom he ffiad lived so long. , Mr. Bancroft is survived by his wife, who baa herself been an Invalid as the result of an accident, for the past two years. Her many amiable qualities have won her a host , of warm friends who will doubtless see to it that the re­ clining years of tbe aged widow are made as comfortable as possible. The funeral was held at Emmanuel church Saturday afternoon at 2:00 o’clock and was largely attended. Bishop Gillespie was in charge of the services.' He was assisted by the rector of the church, Rev. S. W. Moran, Rev. J. N. McCormick, Rev. Chas. Donahue and Rev. J. H. Dodshon, of Grand Rap­ ids, and Rov. A. E. Wells of Holland. On,Sunday morning the bishop pro­ nounced a fitting eulogy upon his dead friend st Emmanuel church and as manp readers of the Herald will be interested, we give'hls address in full, as follows; ' Friends, I am here to pay the tribute of long friendship and affection. All official ties yield to. personal. When in 1861, .I came to Michigan, Mr. Ban­ croft was a layman, our first intercourse was, assisting him in the servlcAs he was holding for the few who formed the nucleus of thia Parish. When it pleas­ ed God through hia Church, that I was ’ advanced to tbe Episcopate, the minis­ Roy Matthews, Who Committed Sulclde In the Philippines. try of ten years in tbe Diocese, and the Roy Matthews, who committed sui­ cide in the Philippines, was formerly a resident of this place, hli father, Gould E. Matthews, being part owner of The Hart, Journal with the late Profeosor Edooo. He baa two uncles living here, Clark and Henry Matthews, and an­ other, Scott Matthews, st East Jordan. Boost's daughter Ada received a letter from Roy In Jan nary saying that be was well and that he would leave for home next April. He also has uncles in Ohio and Texas. He has relatives in Fremoot on hk Weiher’s side of the name . respect for him personally, placed him in position which brought us in close touch officially. But far beyond this, I gladly recognized him aa ah adviser in the many problems that new relations and responsibilities Involved. Happy for a new Bishop to have at his side one so calm in his decisions, who would never speak until be .bad given thought, and who had no prejudices nor animosi­ ties for lapses, the irritation, the con­ tacts with rough and unprincipled character, the excitement of our bodily and social conditions it is no light thing to say of a man, who has lived 42 years In a limited community where every one’s life is open, when he is gone, he was “a good man.” But far more, when we think of high­ er relations, when we have before ua the standard of Holy Scripture, when we speak in the Church in the Church’s tongue. Should I single out some of the leading traits of my brother’s character, I would mention, his charity. Firm in his convictions as a Churchman, he was tolerant of views and practices that yet had no following in his Ministry. He could see that his brother Priests, from their temper­ ament, their intellectual bias, their education, their surroundings, would see theological points from their stand .ways, and were not to be accused be­ yond an honest criticism. In the ex­ pression of these sentiments, ho may have been sometimes misunderstood. It may have, been his early affili­ ation, but far more I bhink his kindly spirit, that he bad no fondness for re­ flections on fellow believers who walk not .with us. This is the spirit that should animate us all. It is a * world lying-in wickedness,” God forbid that we should stay the step, or weaken the arm, that would defend the Master’s cause or turn aside from reaching after his salvation those whom he came “to seek and to save.” And there .was in him a grace that bears charity com­ pany, meekness. Meekness in its Integ­ rity, does not approach to the cringing attitude that Robert Hali criticised: the coming on of years; and I have sad­ ly thought, had its connection with the beginning of “the strength wearied in the way, the shortening of bis days.” But there was something more than this, lees easy to bear, more painful to feel. The unchristian, I am almost tempted to say inhuman, discrediting the ministry, because of years that tell in their number1 and the gray head, while the God of our life preserves the mind and heart for His'service—this came to our brother in signs he could not but perceive, that could not but wound. Brethren of th’s parish, those of you to whom our brother whose lips are now closed in death ministered, your hearts are touched in the memory of him as your Pastor. Would you honor his memory? The brass tablet on these walls might well attest his worth and your grateful reverence of his charac­ ter and pastorate. But, my dear Brethren, fa? more in accordance with his spirit, far more in accordance with his wishes, could he speak to you, will Church, OHvoi, fro MM," mark. hl.

A citizen walking past a butcher shop In a northern Kansas town saw the butcher and a customer rolling over the sawdust floor In a rough and tum­ ble fashion.

Miss Flash, that in suing tar your hand I am re­ specting the wish of my late father— MIm Flash—Beg your pardon, sir, but la this Instance you have inherited Our reason for believing this is that it belongs to that family of plants known as mH renovators, of which red clover is the chief. It is true that the pen vine is somewhat Incumbent In its nature, and because of th|s tbe-crop is a little bard to handle. At the same time there are a number of methods which may be employed in utilizing the crop. Peas contain more than 20 per cent of pro­ tein and the grain is withal 'palatable to all kinds of stock. For hogs it is generally necessary to soak or grind the grain because of its flinty nature. As a food for fattening hogs pea meal is pos­ sibly superior to any other single grain. However, it Is possibly as a supplemen­ tary food that peas have the greatest value—that is, when fed in conjunction with corn, oats or barley. If feeders of the central west could only- obtain a supply of peas tc feed with their soft corn during this winter it would help solve the problem that is now the great bugbear of the stockman. A ration consisting of three parts com »Dd one Part pea meal would glee splendid results. It would not only be palatable so that it would be eaten in sufficient quantities, but It would be highly nutritions. The fattening quali­ ties would be furnished by corn while the peas, as well as furnishing fatten­ ing constituents, supply flesh forming material. At the price this cereal is commanding in the market it would be utterly impossible to feed it this year at a profit, but the point we wish to make at this time is that it may be worth while to acquire a little more in­ formation concerning the merit of this crop. For Sheep and Ho*a. There is one use to which the pea crop may be put with reasonable ex­ pectation that it will pay a good profit We have in mind pasturing pigs'on the crop either before it has fully matured or after the grain has ripened. The hogs are amply able to do their own shelling and will make splendid gains If allowed u free run over an area of Qcas. 8heep also have a fondness for the vines even after the grain has been eaten out by hogs or after the entire crop has been run through the thrashing machine. We have known many instances where pea vines alone have furnished tbe entire food supply for sheep during the winter, this be­ ing followed by the best results. We would not advise any one to undertake tbe growing of peas extensively at the start, but a small area would undoubt­ edly be grown with profit anywhere in the centra’ west? A HANDY SAWBUCK. Convenient and Steady For Both Croaacvt and Back Sawin*.

It is shown in the figure. It is made of 2 by 4 oak scantling halved together, and the two nearest -X’s axe only twelve inches apart from outside to outside. Our range takes wood seventeen Inches long, and I put the supports near enough together so that I can saw out­ side the end and not have the saw pinch. This would be inconvenient, and the buck would tip endwise if it were not for the third X, which gives sup­ port to long sticks and makes buck sawing much pleasanter, as much of the Satigue in this kind of work comes from keeping in place the sticks that are being sawed. The buck Is 24 inches high to where the wood rests and 46 inches long. The long legs of the X’s are 48 inches. Such ft buck stays where it is put and is very convenient until time to-store it By having the cross rods held in place by tag screws put in from the underside the X’s can be separated and laid away ‘ In small compass • Take time to live. “We pass this way but once.” If there is any direct way for im­ provement In animal or plant, it la by raltivatton and selection.

J Influence of amount applied is also, > strikingly illustrated. The average* Si gain from the application of 400 pounds ot nitrate per acre was 1,450 heads, and tho gain from the application of 300 pounds per acre was L125, an Increase from the extra 100 pounds of 325—that is, the extra 100 pounds, whilp not cans­ Ing th* same rate of increase tn the number of heads as did each 100 pounds of tbe first 900 applied, did cause a more perfect development of plant In other words, the larger application re­ suited in the most satisfactory crop even though tbe plants did not econom­ ically use the larger amounts applied. Tbe method of application may be partly responsible for the difference to the yields from the different qnantltlee applied—that la,- we find that the method of application, as well as tbe amount applied, exerted an influence upon tbe yield and marketable value of the crop. Averaging the number of marketable beads upon plots 2 and 4, upon which the nitrate was used In two top dress­ ings, we find tbe gain to be 945 heads, while the average gain from plots 8 and 6. upon which tbe amounts ap­ plied were divided into three equal pertlons, we have a gain of L030 heads, or an increase of 685 heads, due to the third application, the distribution of tbe nitrogen In three portions resulting in a greater difference in yield than was obtained from an extra 100 pounds of nitrate. In fact tbe combination of extra quantity and extra application on plot 5 resulted in giving the largest number of marketable beads, the lar­ gest average weight per head and tbe highest selling price.

No class of plays presented in the last decade has appealed more strongly to theatre-goers than those dealing with village and country life. They seem to possess more heart Interest and appeal more strongly to human nature than any other form of drama. One of the best of this class is “A Homespun Heart;” anew pastoral comedy drama from the pen of Hal. Reid, who writes for the masses, and who, perhaps more than any other living Amer­ ican author, has played on the heart­ strings of millions of theatre-goers. “A Homespun Heart” will be pre­ sented at the opera house on Tuesday evening, March 17.

The bridge at North Park, connect­ ing Grand Rapids with Mill creek, was carried from its piers Sunday afternoon by a tremendous ice jam that formed at the bend Jnrt above tbe bridge. The flood of ice was caused by the breaking of a dam at lonhr Saturday, and when it reached this point the ice filled the river tn Ito brinks nearly ten feet above the water. The' steel caiimone of u new bridge being ; constructed at this point by the street ; railway company was also carried away, the damage being about $5,000. A few minutes after the destruction of the North Park bridge the Detroit, Grand Haven & Milwaukee railway bridge was roadbed by the jam but its heavy abutments and ice breakers Wchstood the compact and the ice swept down and over the rapids with­ out doing any more damage. The St Joseph ri/er has flooded the low lands In Niles and vicinity, doing much damage. Many bridges are In peril nnd apprehension is felt about some of the dams. At Buchanan the water is within one inch of the top of the masonry that Shuts out the flood from unfinished work on tbe $250,000 transmission power bouse O. A. OhapLn Is building there. If the water submerges the masonry it will work great damage. Black river went on its annual ram­ page Sunday and for a time threat-ned to do considerable damage to the ship­ ping moored In the river and in­ dustrial enterprises along its banks. Tho usually sluggish stream was turned into a torrent, carry­ ing fields of ice, dotted here and there with logs, uprooted trees and fences which had bten washed away further up the course of the river and along the tributary creeks swollen by the heavy rains and r .aw of the pest several days. Fortuna i ely, however, the apprehended danger at tills point was avoided. --------------------------------------------------HOTICE OF LETTING DRAIN CONTRACT Prosecuting Attorney McArthur, In nMN tbe highway in n w M of n w X,sec27, In township of Rutland, In said coouty of Barry, 10 oMock in tbe forenoon of that day proceed receive blds for tbe construction of a certain te known and designated as “Water* Drain” tad and established In tbe township of Rutd, in said county of Barry, and deecrfbed a* fob VU ft n anS , eZB It; thence * 66 deg. e 107 ft; thence a ,e39ft; thence a 55 deg, c 124 ft; thenep * r, c63 ft; thence s t5« deg. e 437 ft; thence s ,e75ft; thence s5deg,«25ft; tbences5dcg, ; Sbeaot*24detf,e5e7ft; tbencs s 36M dor, thence e 27 ft; thence ■ Mft{ taence • 184 order up stream n now ou flfe with ' paper* pertaining to said drain In the be county train commissioner of the raid Barry, to which refaraace may be tad by K tatfsmted. and bids win be made and Q-^tswHlbe made with 1 respouilMe bidder giving adequate ee­ r the performance <>7 tbe tforkUn * gam I there to be find by me. reservlngtomyight to reject any and all bids.

He would not give the nature of the information in open court, on the ground that to do so, would defeat tbe ends of justice, but be made a state­ ment to Judge Wiest privately. At the time of Holbrook’s arrest, it was expected that other men of promin­ ence would be the subject of similar charges, and It la believed that new complaints may be drawn. Thomas Payne, an Englishman from Three Oaks, was before Judge Coolidge, lu 8t Joseph, Saturday, on the cltarge of thrashing bis wife. Payne insisted tn his own country he bad the right to thrash his wife whenever be chose. ’His wife, who brought the charge against him, pleaded tn his behalf before the Judge in the Circuit Court In order to right himself with bls family and the court.

POUND ACCEPTS DEMOCRATIC NOMINATION FOR JUSTICE SUPREME COURT. His Letter of Acceptance Discusses the Rights of Citizens Against Common Carriers. James H. Pound of Detroit, who was Monday, selected by the democratic state central committee to take the pjace on the state judicial ticket, de­ clined by Judge Yaple, Tuesday sent his letter of acceptance of the nomina-tlon to State Chairman Barkworth as follows; ’ “Your notification of the’ great honor conferred upon me by yourself and con­ freres upon tbe committee Is duly re­ ceived, and the draft is honored and accepted. . “Although I have hitherto been In no sense a candidate for this office, I feel that my years of experience and labor in my chosen profession will war­ rant me in accepting the honor your committee has unanimously placed up­ on my shoulders, and I feel that though 1 have a great undertaking upon my hands, I do not despair of succes, if the people will but understand tbe situa­ tion. “As to the distinguished gentleman, my opponent., who has now occupied this high poet lion for fourteen years, I have nothing personal to *ay, except that I am not in favor of life tenure in office. He has tread the judicial ladder from justice of the peace to chief jus­ tice of this great state, and altogether been in office about one-third of a cen­ tury; and for that reason, in my opinion should give way for another. “But elections for higher offices of the judiciary and regents were never intended by the framers of our state constitution to be the contention of po­ litical parties; and, for this reason, they were separated from the general state ticket elections and placed apart by themselves, so that men and meas­ ures might be considered as pertaining to the state's domestic economy,—an object which designing republican poli­ ticians have for years thwarted by electing regents of our state university and supreme justices upon tbe question of the tariff or money, with which they,neitber, should bare anything to do, and which false system has given us, in at least one aet of those present honor­ able offices) an absconder from justice, and other undesirable personages, as will be conceded by all. Therefore, in this campaign, it will be my desire and aim to enter into personal competition with the chief justice upon official acts alone, which I believe to be fair criti­ cism, and I shall try to reverse the re­ publican ‘system, whereby a man’s party loyalty is looked upon as a first consideration; second, his locality, and third, and last, his legal knowledge. Not but that they have nominated and elected able men, but that was ever but the Incident, not the primary pur­ pose, of the convention.

But it seems jo me that a hackman, who is a common carrier, wbo would take a passenger from a depot to a hotel, and charge him, because be was a stranger. S5, when his legal fare was but twenty-five Cents, and when tbe passenger would not pay tbe 15 de­ manded. and who, perchance, had re­ fused the tender of the legal fare of twenty-five cents—took the passenger by the throat and forcibly dragged him from the hack and beat and wounded him, and threw the passenger, like a dog, into the street—should pay more than nominal damages, although the passenger, in fact, had $5 with him, and could have avoided all difficulty by submitting to the extortion. And 1 be­ lieve that the proper tribunal to assess the damages in such a case is a jury, and tx>t tne judge, and I think this is no more true in tbe case of tbe hack­ man than any other^common carrier.

This is not creditable to our city and ought to be remedied at once. Mana- : ger Todd of the Book Case Company in'; forms the Herald that he must also have houses for his employes. This is an emergency that calls for' • the promptest and most enei — ’ ' itic action possible.

And, first, while I claim to be as con­ servative as any man can be, in guar­ anteeing to any man. men or corpora­ tion, the fruit of bis, their or its in­ dustry, and a conservation of their cap­ ital, I believe tbe proper tribunal to determine facts is tne twelve honeet, conscientious jurors which tbe law places th the jury box to dispatch that business.

I certainly believe that that line of business, whether carried on by private individuals, co-partnerships, or corporations, known as common car­ riers, should be held responsible for the mistakes of their servants, and that the burden of - guarding against mbtakes at the agents of common carriers should be placed where, by the law of England, It has ever been, and that is upon the carrier.

Gor­ man, the democratic leader, when asked to make a statement by your correspon­ dent. “The democrats,” he continued “hold the view th&t an important treaty of this character should not be -treated M a party measure. It should be con­ sidered and perfected according to the best judgment of the senate. A major­ ity in congress, without regard to party, favors the construction of an isthmian canal as is demonstrated by tbe fact that the act authorizing such a canal re­ ceived almost unanimous support from members of both parties. The minority believes that tbe treaty negotiated by Secretary Hay requires several amend­ ments in order to bring It into harmony with the act of congress under which it was negotiated and to safe-guard tbe in­ terests of the United States. Article 23 is in obvious violation of that provision of the Spooner act which provides that the Unifed States shall acquire tbe right to police, protect and govern tbe strip through whldh tbe ca’nal shall pass In a way that obviously implies sovereignty. These facts bare been presented to the republican leaders and some of them appreciate the force of the democratic contentions. What their course will be I am not prepared to predict.” , Just after Mr. Gorman made the above statement, the republican steer­ ing committee held a meeting to con­ sider the program for the remainder of the special session and determined to ratify, if possible, the Panama canal treaty as it stands. They further de­ cided. to accept the amendment offered by Senator Bacon in the committee on foreign relations, apd adopted by that committee, which provides that the Cuban treaty shall not go into effect un­ til it has been “approved by tbe con­ gress.” An amendment has been reached between Jhe leaders of both parties to read the Canal treaty today for amendment, all speeches being lim­ ited to fifteen minutes duration, and to permit two heurs debate, followed by a vote tomorrow. The Cuban treaty will then be taken up In earnest and, as amended, will be ratified and adjourn­ ment taken immediately afterwards. It is deemed probable that the special ses­ sion will adjourn thelatter part of this week, although no definite decision has been reached. The president does not hesitate to say that he regrets the adoption of the Bacon amendment to the Cuban treaty and he has threatened to call both houses of congress in special session to pass the legislation necessary to put tbe terms of the treaty into effect Such a course would meet with no opposition from the majority of the democrats whose only object in securing the adop­ tion of the amendment was to avoid a violation of tbe constitution, but the re­ publican leaders, mjmy of whom are secretly opposed to any form of reciproc­ ity because they fear it means the be­ ginning of tbe end of the protective system, express themselves as emphati­ cally opposed to an extra session before election and it is probable that Mr. Roosevelt will give heed to their wishes and, if he calls an extra session at all, refrain from so doing until next Novem­ ber. He asserts now that be will cer­ tainly do so then if not before. Senator Aldrich is believed to be pre­ paring to urge his financial bill, with possibly some modifications, next win­ ter.. He has obtained the consent of the senate to call his committee in session during the recess and, as it is known that he does not contemplate any tariff AGENTS THE TBTEniRAnV OBSTETRICAL COMPEN­ DIUM, THE HHEATEOT MONEY MAKER FOR THE ABENT OF THE ROth CENTURY th.tMjorhy U ooaeeraeS, * udbIiot*bly opposed u> tor form of flat Currency, which is wbtt the Fowler bills provides for.

No dates have been positively made as it has been impossible to de so without knowing when congress would adjourn, with one exception. The president has promised to be present at tbe dedicatory exercises of the^aint Louis exposition.

Ho longed tor tbe comforts of home, but be bad not mon­ ey enough to go Into business for him­ self in tbe city. After studying tbe matter over for some time he concluded1 to go to farming. He wm brought up on a farm and wanted to get back to the land. He had money enough to make a payment on a farm, and be con­ cluded be did not care for wealth if he could have a home of hte own. He W^b willing to work hard if he could only be with iris wife and family all the time. Looking about, he found a farm In the dairy district of Illinois that could be bought cheaply. Tbe farm was in pretty bad shape, but It was a farm, and our friend had a great deal of fallb in hte ability to dig a living out of that particular piece of land. So be began life over again as a farmer. He liked pigs and began breeding them in a small way. One day he was over at the creamery near lite place and heard some dairy’ farmer yy he didn’t know what to do with hte Bkimnxilk. It did not pay to feed it to calves, for he could, sell them as soon as they were old enough to kill for veal for a good high price', and, besides that, he didn’t want to bother with -a lot of calves. . Now, our friend believed In taking farm papers and keeping up with the times. He had read that sklmmilk Is ibout as good a thing for pigs aa can be' given them, and be asked this man what he would self hte sklmmilk for. The dairyman named-10 cents the hun­ dred as the going price, and a bargain was made. It soon got noised about the vicinity that there was a man there who wanted sklmmilk, and before long our friend was driving over to the creamery to get two barrels of sklm­ milk every day. His pigs thrived so wonderfully on the sklmmilk diet that they sold for more than the market price, and pres­ ently he was breeding pure bred pigs and getting a high price for them. The writer of this article in Dairy and Creamery bought one from him once that was only eleven months old and paid more than $50 for it, and a little mate of this pig sold the same day for $87, for the pig breeder had an auction, and men came from a long distance to buy bis stock, so wide had become its fame. The t was several years ago, and this man is still buying sklmmilk at the creamery and producing prize winning and long priced plga.

How to Prune.—1.’Never ent away more wood than is necessary to obtain the end in view. Err on the side of cut­ ting too little ratlier than too much, for If too much is taken off it cannot be replaced in many years. Large crops of fruit cannot be grown on trees with a few exposed branches. 2. Cut out ail dead wood as soon as It is dis­ covered. (Summer, is a good time to do this, asdead branches can then be seen at a glance.) 3. If two branches rub together so as to Injure one anoth­ er, tbe weakest should be cut aWay. 4. If one branch rests on the top of another, as In Fig. 1, one should be removed. 5. Head back and thin out the top rather than cut off the lower branches to bring the fruit as low as possible on account of thinning, spraying and harvesting (see Fig. 2). fi. Never .remove side branches If it can be avoided. If It must be done, cut as shown at B, Fig. 3, and cover the injured parts with two coats of lin­ seed o|l paint, gas tar or grafting wax. Cover all wounds over half an ineh in diameter with one of the above pre­ servatives. 7. Remove branches that are too low or resting on the ground.

There was a record of one prostrate ancient forest giant of the blue gum variety measuring, with al­ lowances for the lost top, 550 feet Such a giant would have overtopped tbe tall­ est of California’s living sequoias. There are more thrfD 150 kinds of euca­ lyptus which resemble each other, though differing widely In size, height, general outline and in appearance of leaf and bark. This tree is planted for forest cover for naked hillsides as wind­ breaks and hedges. Tbe timber Is val­ uable, tbe wood and leaves make excel­ lent fuel/and from tbe latter is made a drug extensively employed in medicine and surgery. Tbe blossoms supply honey supposed to possess specially hy­ gienic properties. Oricin of the Cat. In Arabian legends the cat Is traced back as far as Noah and the ark It Is one of the animals that came off the ark, but did not go on. When the oth­ er creatures entered for safety during the time when “the doors of heaven were to be opened and the fountains of the deep turned loose,” there was no cat among them. Puss’ origin is ac­ counted for In this way: During the time the ark was floating about over the tall mountains mice and rats became an Intolerable nuisance to the people on the great vessel, and they complained to Noah that everything was being literally devoured by the pesky vermin. That august personage forthwith called the male lion to his side and began to stroke his back, whereupon the great beast sneezed and, 10, a full sized cat was blown from hte nostrils! An Artist’* Privation*. Lough, an English sculptor, tad an Imaginative enthusiasm so vivid that he once said timidly to a friend, as if fearing ridicule. “I fancy myself in the Acropolis sometimes and hear a roar­ ing noise like the tide.” The sculptor's early privations were terrible.^ Bays a writer, "During Lougb’sJirst year In London, when en­ gaged on bis ‘Milo,’ he went without meat for three months, had only one bushel and a half-of coal during tbe whole winter, tore up bls shirts to make rags In which to keep his clay figure motet and slept beside It—when the cold would allow him to sleep—on the groufid.” He Got It. "You have a lovely hand,” remarked the youth as he grasped the fair milden’s hash mixer. “Do you really think so?” she queried in a tone that was calculated to push him over the hurdle. "That’s why,” answered the unsus­ pecting victim of circumstances, "I ad­ mire a beautiful hand, but mine is apt to be mistaken for a ham, I wish I had one like yours.” “Then,” suggested the willing maid, "why not pull yourself together and uk for itr .

LOUISVILLE t NASHVILLE K. LoeMO*. Kv HAII �advertUing STATE. COUNTY. A Good Selection. Stow H. Pound of Detroit has been •elected by the state central committee M candidate for justice of tbe supreme court in place of Qeorge L. Yaple who ■declined the honor. Mr. Pound is one of the leading members of the Wayne county bar. He is a man of sterling integrity, wall read and successful as a lawyer, uncompromising and out­ spoken, fearless and aggressive for the cause which be espouses. Buch a man m Mr. Pound taken from the active pursuit of the law in all its higher phase® in the chief city of the ' state, familiar with the methods of legal procedure before tbe leading courts of the state, and in close touch with the . great numr.Rs of men and women whose Interests it is the chief duty of the judiclary to protect- is undoubtedly well equipped for the responsibilities of the supreme bench. ’ It may well be believed that If such an able and honest lawyer as James Pound is given a place in the highest tribunal of the state, he will infuse a new and wholesome spirit of democracy into that learned but extremely conafirvatiye body chat would prove highly r beneficial. • A Lesson for Future Conventions The declination of Judge Yaple to ac­ cept the nomination for justice of the supreme court is unfortunate. It is al­ ways more satisfactory to a political y^rt.y to have its candidates selected by a nominating convention than by acommittee, however wisely the committee may act. The candidate chosen in the regular manner seems in some way to enjoy a prestige and an advantage that , do not attach to a candidate selected by ■’ ■ a committee. Hence it is a fact to be regretted that the man who was so enthuslastically nominated by the demo­ cratic convention at Detroit for the • head of the state ticket this spring . should have felt constrained to refuse the honor. 1 It would seem as though such contre­ temps as that which has just cast its dampening influence over tbe party at the opening of a campaign might and ought to have been avoided. No man ought to be placed in nomination for a place of leading importance unless it is certain that he will accept it. Nor is it good policy to attempt to force a nomi­ nation upon a fellow citizen who is un­ willing, for private reasons, to assume the responsibility. The democratic party of Michigan met with a disheart­ ening experience last fall by following such a policy, and has again met with : a similar discouragement. It would ' seem that these two lessons ought to be Sufficient to lead future conventions to put no man In nomination whose atti­ tude towards such a proceeding has not ' previously ascertained.

The proposed amendment cuts off al! mileage, all pay for extra sessions, and omitted stationery perquisites. There was Borne sharp discussion of the matter, but It whs passed 76 to 10. The idea of pushing the -bill is to have it sub­ mitted to the people in the April elec­ tion. Practically the same proposi­ tion was submitted in the state elec­ tion of two yeato ago, and It was de­ feated. If this amendment Is .adopt­ ed It will not take effect until 1905. .

The senate has passed the so called Bangham bill, amending the law for orgnlzutlon of corporations, so that concerns may Incorporate with no capi­ tal paid in. All attempts to amend were defeated.

This vlll compel them <0 make public their affairs which at present they are not com­ pelled to do.” The senate did quite a bit of bus­ iness Tuesday afternoon, among tbe bills passed being one which defines criminal anarchy and provides Impris­ onment up to 10 years for agitators of that kind. Favorable action was also given the Sovereign bill provid­ ing for greater precaution and Inves­ tigation before juvenile offenders are sent to penaj institutions. It provides that courts may designate private per­ sons to take charge of such children. The bill making it a felony for male persons to commit nameless offenses against other males was discussed in executive session and afterward was passed. • < ' The Grand Rapids furniture manu­ facturers want the legislature to ap­ propriate $150,000 for a building at the world’s fair, to be held in St. Louis. Tbe delegation of manufacturers who appeared to advocate the appropria­ tion were from Grand Rapids, other parts of the state had no advocates. They claim that they prefer to pay for tbe space they use but want the state to be among the, leaders at the big show. It looks as If the scheme will be favorably reported.. Rep. Vandercook says his proposi­ tion to the house state affairs commit­ tee for the removal of the state capi­ tal to Grand .-Rapids was merely a "josh,” and not intended to be se­ riously considered. \ ; Both houses, under suspension qf the rtxles, passed a large number of bills Thursday afternoon- Mort of the bills were not printed, the members did not know what was In many of them, and they didn’t-seem to care.

Always wind up a watch as nearly as possible at the same time every day and do it as smoothly as possible to avoid sudden Jerks. Most watches are now made toeyteas, but If a key has to be used it should be kept perfectly clean and free from grit or flue, says an exchange. If a watch is hung up, it must have eome support at the back, and if laid borixontally It is well to place some soft substance under it for more general support; otherwise the action of tbe balance will cause a pen­ dulous motion of the watch and cause much variation In time. Tbe watch pocket must be kept as free from -lust and nap as possible. Superintendent C. H.

RALD “WANTS.” All That is Asked, However, is for the Farmers to Furnish the Cream from 300 Cows, * Although no public announcement has been made tbe Herald is informed that a creamery will be established in this city if the farmers will agree at the ox’tset to furnish 300 cows. No bo­ nus has been asked and we understand that none will be required. In talking with farmers who have patronized some of the different cream­ eries located in the county we learn that the creamery is a good thing for them and they realize more from their cows than by making butter them­ selves. Register of Deeds Aaron Sherk, who has patronized tbe creamery at Middle­ ville ever since it started is well pleased. He said he couldn’t help but notice the difference in price of dairy butter and the product of the creamery. When dairy butter was bringing 16c. per pound, ho was getting 26c. for the butter at the creamery. As he paid three cents a pound for making it, his profit was seven cents a pound over the old way. Mr. Mead Brown, who is a practical man in the business, and one of tbe best butter makers in the country, we understand is ready to start in business as soon as the farmers will do their part. He is a resident of Barry county and well and favorably known by many of our citizens and he would like to es­ tablish a creamery at home. He has been connected with a factory in Wis­ consin for three years, at which place he was also the secretary for tbe farm­ ers, keeping their accounts with the creamery, and he is satisfied that If he can only get established that tbe cus­ tomers will Increase Instead of dimin­ ish. All the creameries In the county, so far ns we are able to ascertain, are pay­ ing Investments for the farmers, and we understand that the Freeport creamery made about 200,000 pounds of butter last year. If there are enough farmers In this vicinity who are interested and can now take hold of tbe matter we believe the requirement can be met., A letter to Mr. Brown will suffice to get any in­ formation needed.

NEW COMPANY ORGANIZED TO ACQUIRE AND OPERATE BENT­ LEY RIDER & CO.’S PLANT. Will Increase Capacity SO Per Cent. But Desires Financial Aid from tha Citizens. It may be a source of satisfaction to tbe citizens of Hastings to know that Tuesday evening there was organized In the city of Grand Rapids a company to acquire and operate the Bentley, Rider A Co.’s plant, and the chairman, J. L. Stites, now with one of Grand Rapids' most successful factories, has informed us that there is no thought of removing the factory until an effort has been made to see whether or not the citizens wish to retain it here. In order to place the plant more nearly on a footing with the other factories and give his company a better opportunity to carry out its plans of expansion, Mr. Stites desires a little financial assistance from Hastings. We are pleased to say that a number of our business men, realizing the import­ ance of keeping all we have and get­ ting more if possible, have expressed their willingness to donate something to tbe company in order to have It re­ main with us. Mr. Stites is well and favorably known in Grand Rapids and Mr. Todd, of the bookcase company, says of him, “You couldn’t find a better man in Grand Rapids.” . Mr. Stites will be unable to be here ail the time but will have his foreman, E. T. Stearns, supervise the work un­ der his directions. The company can guarantee to the people of Hastings an increase in capacity of 50 per cent, or more during the coming year. New lines will be added as soon as possible which will work iu with the other factories’ lines, giving to Hastings’ salesmen an opportunity to sell an ex­ tended line of goods—all, with the same finish—an advantage which salesmen of the larger manufacturing places readily recognize. Mr. C. G. May wood of this city will be business manager of the new company. Letter to Mr. John Mate, Hastings, Mich. Dear Sir: You buy your horseshoes and nails; your grandfather, if he was a blacksmith, made ’em. You can’t af­ ford to hammer them out by hand, when you can buy as good, or better perhaps, ready made to your hand, for a little more than the cost of the iron. What do you think of a painter who goes on buying his linseed oil and white* lead, and mixing, and tinting by hand, and charging bis time for work that is far better-done than he can do it; done by machinery; done as your horseshoes and nails are made. Mtotoke isn't it? He is wasting bls chance in the wox-ld. There is no better stuff to do business with than good horseshoes and paint; and nc better work than putting them on. Good horseshoes well put on: It’s tbe putting ’em on that makes you a blacksmith; no matter who makes ’em. Who wants to go back to old times, and make his own horseshoes? f? Between ns t<o, that painter don’t know how to makegood paint—he used to; but paint has run away from him. Fred L. Heath handles De.oe paint. Yoars truly, . F. W. Devoe A Co. SOAKED THE CIH FORM ALLEN JONES OBTAINS DAMAGES FRbM THE CITY. The Total Expenses to- the City Will Foot up to About 8800. The case of Allen Jones vs. the city of Hastings came to a close last Friday morning at 9:00 o’clock when tbe jury returned a verdict of $300 damages for tbe plaintiff. The jury was composed of Daniel Bowerman, Assyria; Wm. McCallum and Milo Hayes, Hope; Emory Cross, Orangeville; O. B. Wilcox, Baltimore; Abner Wilcox, Thornapple; Stephen L. Hicks, Castleton; John Buehler, Irving; W. C. Dunham, Maple Grove; Chas. Cheney, Carlton; Wilber Hynes, Wood­ land; and Frank Cox, Johnstown. Seventeen witnesses were sworn for the plaintiff and ten for tbe defendant. The plaindff alleges that in 1896 the common council changed the natural water course down Jefferson street, cutting it off at. the corner of Jefferson and Court street and throwing all the water down Court street that forzqerly came down Jefferson street; that the council put in a 12-inch tile down Court street which was not large enough to carry the water; further that the man­ hole and tile were neglected and al­ lowed to fill up; that on July 8, 1900, and on July 3, 1901, it rained and the water not finding an outlet went iuto his cellar, tearing away a portinn of the wall, and that the water soaked in and caused tbe walls to settle. Ths city claimed the right to change the water course, aud contended that on tbe dates mentioned the rain was excessive and that they were not obliged to prepare for a flood and should not be held responsible for what tbe weather man did. The proofs showed that on June 16, 1899, a motion was made by the council to have the street commissioner look after the sewerage on Court street, but this was never done until after the floods, This alone was sufficient to show neglect, and was sufficient for a verdict. Nearly four days were consumed in the trial and the jury had the case eight hours before reaching a verdict. The case for the plaintiff was strongly fought by Thos. Sullivan and Colgrove & Potter, while the city’s interests were looked after by City Attorney Nagler and L. E. Knappen of Grand Rapids. The entire cost to the city will be about $800, L. E. Knappen’s bill alone being 8237. Wm. Dooley was in Charlotte, Satur­ day, on business. ’ Mrs. Clara Goodrich has gone to Muskegon to reside.

To guard against such a condition, which would be infinitely the present evils of the conventlon.and caucus system, it will be necessary for the primary election law for the state to provide that separate ballots be print­ ed for each and every party represented and to stipulate that the voter mustpall for his own party ticket and make his choice of candidates from the one ticket which he takes into the booth.

The alleged reason for amending the treaty as above stated is that the pro­ vision It contains for reducing the tariff la in the nature of revenue legislation .which the constitution requires must 'originate in the lower house of congress. ' 'EUnoe, it was claimed that the treaty * must go to the bouse for approval in or­ der to comply with tbe constitution. It la likely that this reason was put forth *■ as an excuse to delay the taking effect the treaty. And yet it must be ac­ knowledged that there is much ground in the language of the constitution to ■ justify this reasoning. The Imposition . or removal of a tariff upon imports is ’ certainly a matter that concerns rov• enue, and the Cuban commercial treaty, M well as all reciprocity conventions provided for in the Dingley law, will • affect the revenues of the government. Hence while It may be matter for re­ gret that the nation’s promise to Cuba 11 not being promptly and generously fulfilled in its original spirit, it will ’ Jtave t# be admitted that a compliance •with tbe letter of the constitution is a pretty valid excuse for delay. It re­ mains to be seen whether the partial victory which Mr. Roosevelt has se­ cured can be made a complete one, by ; Obtaining the approval of the house of representatives to tbe treaty as it comes to that body from tbe senate. The Coal Commission’s Good Work. The great coal strike of last summer which cost a hundred millions dollars Rnd caused wide spread disaster and distress was certainly a heavy price to pay for the establishment of a principle, but tbe results of the eminent commis­ sion’s investigations and the decision reached may well be worth to the coun­ try all that.it has cost. The report of the commissioners which has just been made public shows , that neither the miners nor the operatore have gained or lost all they, were contending for. Like all disputes there were two sides to it, and like most de­ cisions, the report is a compromise. The miners have contended most'earnestly, fcr the recognition of their union, but the commission has not recognized it. Tbe decision goes even farther and stipulates that there must be no die^srimination In wages dr treatment be­ tween union and non-ubion men, a deidsion that is eminently just. EspferertbeleHB the miners have great ^ftinn to feel satisfied with the report. They are given a substantial increase in wages and a sliding scale which in­ sures. to them a fair increase when the Wixereare getting higher prices for end. Their hours of labor are somewha:- shortened and provision is made protect them against unfair loading And weighing of coal. These are but a part of the advanKfaM w^ich the miners gain by the deniian, and one of the most important Nrthr reaching advantages remains to be mentioned, that of the establishment a permanent board of conciliation to whiuh all disputes and mlsunderssandtog* between the miners and employers pfe* to be referred. This in itself U Sure than an adequate compensation •w the failure to obtain recognition of IM untoo. and is likely to prove the AKjfitiun cf the labor troubles in the /JBfeing regions.

On several occasions the secretary has been compelled by the president to act in entire opposition to bls own judgment, notably Id the. case of the awarding of recent contracts for armpuredcruisers. Mr. Moody Uvorod awarding the contract for both vessels to the Cramps of Pbiiadelpbiapmt the president insisted that one vessel should be built by a New York ship building company and this was accordingly done. The president Is now earnestly advocat­ ing a general staff for tbe navy, similar to tbe general staff recently, authorized by congress for the army. Mr. Moody does not approve of the measure, which would materially curtail the importance of the position of secretary of the navy, but the president is insistent and Mr. Moody, so tar as can be learned, Is fol­ lowing out his instructions. Danger of Colds and Grip. Tbe greatest danger from colds and grip is their resulting in pneumonia. If reasonable care is used, however, and Chamberlain’s Cough Remedy taken, all danger will be avoided.- Among tbe tens or thousands who have used this remedy for these diseases we have yet to learn of a single case having resulted in pneumonia, which shows conclusive­ ly that it is a certain preventive of that dangerous disease. It will cure a cold dr an attack of the grip in less time than any other treatment. It is pleasantand safe to take. For sale by Dawson Bros. Red, Estate Transfers. WARRANTY. Jas. W. Farrell to Geo.

TMOB. «. , �Detroit—Cattle: ood to chok-e bu A famous pkysuian, in speaking of health, beauty, and a good figure, said: ' : "In my experience many American women have not the strength to tie up outdoor sports, many lack the inclination for active physical exertion, household cares or office work— they feel languid, tired and wom-out by the weaknesses so common to their sex. Some women have household duties which keep them shut up at home. For all such persons I should advise a few simple daily exercises, with light dumb­ bells, devoting only ten npnutes of the"day to it at first, and gradually increasing it until they find that their whole being is stimulated and strengthened by it If the young girl—or the matron—is troubled at certain periods with irregularity, weakening drains, and backache—perhaps faint and dizzy spells—then she should take something medicinally to cor­ correct these faults. Nothing "could be better than a prescription which Or. R. V,-Pierce used in his large practice for many years, in the diseases of women. Thfe " Favorite Prescription ” of Dr, Pierce has had an immense sale for the past thirty:six years, because of its uniform success in the cure of women’s diseases, and because of the many thousand­ women who have attested to its merit. Being made entirely of extracts of roots and herbs, without alcohol, it is perfectly harmless to the most delicate system, and the best ready-to-hand remedy in the market.” • "To insure perfect health, every tissue, bone, nerve, tendon, or muscle should take from the blood certain materials for its nourishment and growth. Every organ must have its period of activity and of rest, so as to circulate the vital fluid in a proper manner to nourish every part. This is why I believe in advising every woman to take gentle exercise out of doors or indoors. If the functions are not regular or the pains are severe then she should at once use a reliable remedy.” Nn. A. BEL YEA, of BoMvnd, New Brunsmck, said: "I suffered more than a year from nervousness and functional derangement. Had pains in the left side of abdomen all the time. Some days could hardly get around. Kept my bed about half the time. I wrote to Dr. R. V. Pierce, of Buffalo, N. Y., and got his advice for which I have ever been thankful. I began taking ' Favorite Prescription ’ right away as he advised. It makes me sleep well at night which I never did before, and I feel rested.

W & �I / ’ ’Ccjp Democratic Nominee for the University Successful Lawyers E COURT the Micblof the NOMINEE ■'Son. James H. Pound, the nominee on the Democratic ticket for Justice of tbe Supreme-Courts la not only one of . the ablest lawyers In the state of Michlf»n, but te also one of tbe most loyal I friend# of tbe common people that this state has ever produced. Tbe explanation of Mr. Pound’s strength with the people wbo know him best 1b his rugged and unswerv’ Ing Integrity. -He Is. emphatically a i man of the people. He has no patience 1 with sham and pretense, and is abaoC’ lately unmindful of appearance®. Al­ though be owns a very large amount Of property in Detroit—all earned by HON. JAMES H. POUND his untiring labors In hla profession—be Is plain and unpretentious lu hla dress aud careless of the appearance of hla busy office to an extent which 1b often called eccentricity. He la. In fact, a sort of Michigan Horace Greeley, and, like the great Journalist, he has things of more importance to attend ro than clothing and office fixtures. He is a .. man of strong and .vigorous intellect, and has decided opinions, which he is not afraid to defend. He deals sledge hammer blows at everything he at­ tacks, but Is absolutely sincere in everything he says, and the people ot Detroit have learned to trust in and rely upon "Jim” Pound, as be Is fa­ . ■ mlllarly called. । . HIs success lu bls chosen profession . has been phenomenal. NoJ lawyer in the stale of Michigan ever had such an extensive practice as that which Mr. • Pound has built up by his acknowl­ edged legal ability, and by the success­ ful outcome of the litigation which he . has conducted. He has been entrusted With the care of more than 1,906 cases Id courts of record. and be has been re­ tained la more than 800 cases in ths •. l«preme Court, having argued and briefed 296 Supreme Court cases up to time of his nomination. Conclu­ sive proof of his legal ability will be found scattered through ji hundred volumes of Michigan reports. Mr. ' Pound Is president of tbe Wqyne Coun­ ty Bar Association, and is universally . esteemed by tbe members of bls proHis popularity with the people of Detroit, who . know him belt, te condnslrely shown by the vote which he received lu 1898, when be was the Democratic nominee for congress and ran 5.200 rotes ahead of hla ticket, and also by hte vote at tbe following spring election for circuit Judge. He was elected circuit judge against an ad­ verse Republican majority of over three thousand, but was counted out Ly a pretended plurality of 25 votes. Mr. Pound te a man in the <uli vigor «f perfect health; te 6 feet In height, and weighs more than 225 pounds. He was married some twenty years ago, and has two children, a boy of 17 and a daughter younger. Although ho Is a releu1185* fighter when he engages In any controversy, be te a man of even temper and generoua disposition, and has a best of friends among all classes, parties and creeds. Mr. Pound was born in Detroit. Au*Mt 27, 1852,' and te a product of the British Isles in two generations. In hte rein# the blood of England, Scotl|Xld and Ireland unites, ar I be has by the virility of -til three ?a of hte ancestry.

ONE OF THE lAN^CASES WHICH JUDGE HOOKER DECIDED IN FAVOR OF CORPORATIONS Decision Which Puts tbe Pablle at the Mercy of HaUros<l Kmployeei Among tbe many things which were brought np against JtMgo Hooker at the Republican state convention was his decision In tbq. ease of Brown va. the Rapid Ry. Co., filed May 8th, 1902. Samuel J. Brown, the well-known Detroit real estate man and life-long Republican, was the plaintiff In that case, and he presented to the delegates a pamphlet containing an outline of the facts and correspondence concern­ ing tbe same, which any voter Inter­ ested in can probably obtain by writ­ ing to Mr. Brown at bls office, 27 Hodges block, Detrpit A conductor of tbe Rapid Railway Co. ton* off the wrong coupons from round trip tickets, which Mr. Brojvn had purchased, and on the return trip Mr. Brown and bls family were put off the car, Mr. Brown, himself, being forcibly ejected, and subjected to great humiliation and annoyance. It was .ad­ mitted that the conductor was entirely to blame, and that Mr. Brown proved to the conductor wbo ejected him, by the word of several passengers, that the circumstances were as he claimed. Mr. Brown recovered $500 In tbe Justice court, but when the case final­ ly reached the supreme court. Judge Hooker decided that all he was entitled to was forty cents, which tbe coupons cost him. He held in effect that if a conductor makes an unjust claim upon a passenger, the passenger must pay whatever Is demanded and then re­ cover the amount from the company afterwards. In a published letter to a supporter of Judge Hooker, who Is one of the attorneys of the Michigan Central R. R. Co., Mr. Brown said of the results of this decision: *Tf you were here, you could see men, women and children ejected from the cars for the mistakes of the em­ ployes. The only thing for parties us­ ing this fori" of conveyance to do Is to take n shotgun along to defend themselves, or pay whatever Is de­ manded. Hence, we need njen on tho .supreme bench—even If they are not brilliant lawyers—men of common horse sense.” The best Republicans In Michigan took the same view as that held by Mr. Brown, but the machine dele­ gates, under the lead of Tom Navin, succeeded, after r bitter fight. In re­ nominating Judge Hooker. We .negest that a Croat deal better plan than the "shotgun policy” recom­ mended by Mr. Brown is for tbe intel­ ligent and self-respecting voters of Michigan to administer a warning and rebuke to corruption and corporation control by casting their votes for a fearless and honest man, a leading Michigan lawyer, who will make an upright and Incorruptible judge—tbe Democratic nominee, James H. Pound. “NOW IS THE TIME TO KICK” PAStE THIS ARTICLE IN YOUR HAT ' The corpbrations made Bliss gov­ ernor; Bliss made the notorious Tom Nayla a state officer and Republican boss: and Navin made Judge Hooker tbe Republican nominee for justice of the Supreme Court If you dofi’t like it, now te the time to kick; vote the Democrat ticket State taxes have increased ten times faster than the growth of the state, and after every Republican victory a lot of new offices have been created and the salaries of oM officials have boon raised.

The platform is nbout fi by 12 feet, sufficiently large tp accommodate eight or ten fair steed bogs.

The platform itaelf ia made of two Inch plank twelve feet long. It 1» conoidend best to uae plank on account ot the wear and tear. He had used both the. two Inch* plank and inch boards. The inch stuff will do. but will not last as long. • In framing the platform the planks should be mounted upon 2 by 4‘s set up edgewise. The 2 by 4’s abould be of good pine or oak; either will last well. The planks are-securely nailed to tbe 2 by 4’s. On one side of the platform Is the trough, apd this te a good place for It It gives the hog a good place to stand while drinking and be free fro in mud and slush in very bad wea til­ er. At the other side and end are nailed 2 by 4’s to keep the corn from working off* the platform when the hogs are eating. The opposite end has no cleat, but is left open ta give a place to clean the platform readily after each feeding. When building the platform, let it incline toward the nucleated end, so that in rainy weather the water will wash and clean the platform. .The amount of material required to build this platform is'less than200 feet, and at the. price of hemlock plank In hte market (about $ 17 per thousand) it is so cheap that no fanner should try to get along without it. ^Tbe platform will pay for itself the first year, and it will last many years. rural carriers stall travel are fit At present the department ta rwamp' cd with the complaints of the rural car■ riGrB about tbe condition of the roads IQver thpy *re expected tp carry !1110 saJ8 tb*-* Kaumis City Star.

When the womanly organism is dis­ eased, headache, backache, nervousness and sleeplessness are consequences which are sure to follow.'

In the days of the monarchy the biggest eggs in France used to be sent to the Louvre for tbe king There they were blessed at the iuush <in Easter Hsturday, at which the king and Ins court were present and after the mass his maj­ esty dis'rl but ci! them among the mem­ bers nf his court The Itusjihiu Easter festival lasts four day-*, during which people carry eggs and -■xrt.ni.gr Them with one an­ other whet they meet, with this salu­ tation aud answer. “t'hrist is risen!” “It la so of a truth.” The:, tbe Speakers kiss, whether they Ik» men women or natlj acid woman.

After the conclusion pf an Arabic ser­ mon the body is.borne away to the sepulcher, where It lies till the cere­ mony of resurrection Is performed on Easter morn. . Tbe moat interesting of all the cere­ monies of the week is that of the "holy fit®” celebrated by the Greek church. There Is a curious foundation to this are told, it was customary among the Latins to extinguish all lights tn the church on the evening of the crucifix­ ion, and on the eve of the resurrection a bishop, leading a solemn procession, replaced new fire Ln all tbe lamps. An oM tradition iaya that on one occasion the bishop found the lamps already miraculously lighted before the proees 8ion entered the church.

PASCHAL Copi/rtQh!. ixn, by the S. S. Ifcdurt rompany “Will you look at that?’ Miss Davldsor swung aronnd on her swivel chair and held an open letter toward "Katherine Howard, 1 Editor Woman’s Page,” known in private life as Jack Higgins. He took his feet down from his desk and his cigarette from his mouth, which small IflclvllitTes lose their im­ politeness In tbe good chumship of newspaperdom, even If he had no/ been her cousin and privileged, ’and read aloud: Dear MIm Howard—Will you- pleaae ad­ vise mo through your valuable colujnn— which I read dally with much pleasure— how I can possibly obtain an introduction to a most attractive young lady In the office across tho street from mine? I am sure she is good and bright and lovable from her looks, which I study surrepti­ tiously from my window every day. But seeing through a glass darkly Is most unlatlstactory -ahe is so tapAalbtlngly near other.’ Doot meddle with destiny ” I Which Journallrtle wet blanket how­ ever, seemed not to have the Intended cooling effect upon its recipient for be opened Ids window every afternoon thereafter just the same an< whistled loudly to a newsboy below to “bring up two Arrows.” ; ’ .। Having in due time received them. | he Mt down ou the broad window sill and ostentatiously x>erused the entire woman’s page. Across tbe way tbe assistant editor thereof dimpled and twinkled over her desk an:l her muci­ lage brush, though her head was stu­ diously turned away from the street. Miss Davidson prided herself on her ‘ rigid sense of justice, l-ut sometimes it was sorely tested. It was her duty I to open and*read all letters and the j manuscripts for the dally prize story ! of 500 words. These last she assorted Into three piles—good, possible and im­ I possible. Tbe first were published, the l second turned over for another read­ ing and final .decision to the editor, “Miss Howard." The last were re­ turned to the writers. She came upon one which she un­ hesitatingly pronounced good and was • about to place it on the first pile when the name and address of the author caught her eye. Sbe recognized them as belonging to a woman who was “second rdad er” on a well known magazine and who had only the week before rejected a story which Miss Davidson had sub­ mitted for publication. Her cheeks burned anew as she recalled the curt I 'sentence scrawled across the usual j printed "declined with thanks" slip ; which rouses all the evil passions in . the literary temperament: t Dear Madam—You can surely do better atorles than this. Send u» a really first rate story, and we will be glad to cot. She took a rejection slip from a pigeonhole In her desk. t Chance had put revenge into her own hands. Sbe dlpp'd her pen into 'the violetk Ink and poised it above the slip. Then” she paused. This was the Sumter shot of Lhe war lx*tween “cattlnesa,” which she detested, and Justice. An­ other moment of hesitation, then Vic­ tory perched on the banner of tbe blind goddess. Sbe laid down the dried pen and tossed the casus belli over to tbe desk of the editor, saying briefly: "Better run that one tomorrow." "All right. Whatever you say goes.” “May I see Miss Howard?’ asked a deep voice at tbe door of Their clut­ tered den two days later. Jack Hig­ gins looked up from hts sheaf of proofs aud recognised “Percival IL C.’’ "I am Miss Howard." he said coolly. "What can I do for you?* "Ob—I—I thought"— stammered the visitor; then recovered himself, catch­ ing in his embarrassment at tbe first straw, which happened to be Jack's (Sreek letter fraternity pin. "I say, 1 am an Alpha Omega too." And he gave him the grip. "My name’s Clif­ ford. I have a* message of thanks for you from my sister, Mrs. Smith, whose story took your ten dollar prize y •«terday; also the receipt for . your check.” Jack's eyes twinkled as he sized up this persistent suitor. “Gad, I’ll help him out,” was tbe mental result of his scrutiny. He waved bls hand toward the desk by the window where sat a very red cheeked young woman. • "My cousin, Misa Davidson, attends to that, Mr. Clifford,” be said. And that was the way Fate intro­ duced them. 'Y*_. The way that arbitrary old dame finally disposed of them might be guessed from a pretty scene enacted on the .afterdeck of tbe Etruria as she swung out of tbe North river one hot day last summer. .

Bentl-' J ment might sway him, but a mob never moved him. When jealousies In the1: army bred a popular clamor against General Grant, while tbe latter was winning famous victories in the oouthwest, Lincoln listened to no word ofscandal and by his silence rebuked the1 defamers of tbe general who afterward became the admiration of tbe world. When La the fevered tumult of passion an angry north seemed to voice a genera! demand for tbe infliction of the' death penalty upon Jefferson Davis, Lincoln listened in silence and waffed for reason to resume its sway. He was always looking over the heads of fhe; crowd. He was always listening to the! still small voice that echoed In the dis-j taace, far away from the roar of vehe-' ment denunciation.

Quigley, Honing Bo many stories are afloat concerning Mr. aufirMrs. Levi Gebhardt, respected residents of the second ward of this city, detrimental to them, .that the Herald has taken tbe pains to learn the facta as they are, and will briefly give them to our readers. In 1875 Miss Libbie Goade was mar­ ried to Charles J.rLumley at Aurora, New York. They lived together until 1884, but not happily. To them were born two children, .a son and daughter. Her husband’s conduct became bo un­ bearable that they separated, his par­ ents taking the .boy and her parents the girl. Lumley left the vicinity and was gone for two yean. Returning to the same neighborhood he began liv­ ing with another woman who he claimed was his wife. He also claimed that he had been in Chicago and had obtained a divorce from his first wife. The statement was accepted as truthful and the woman was accepted as his wife, and be has lived with her ever since and to them a child has been born. Mrs. Libbie Lumley, after believing herself to be free, became engaged to and was married to Levi Gebhardt, and thd marriage certificate is evidence that their intentions were strictly hon­ est. They came to Hastings where they have lived ever since. The re­ port that they endeavored to keep their marriage a secret to people fn New York is untrue, for about six years ago they were back home to a reunion of thp Gebhardt family and at that time the newspapers stated that the event was given in honor of Mr. and Mrs. Levi Gebhardt. They also, while there, visited brothers of Charles Lumley and | werp received as husband and wife. Mr. and Mrs. Gebhardt had no idea that anything was wrong until last December when Mrs. Gebhardt was served with a. notice of the pendency of a suit for divorce by said Charles Lum­ ley in New York. Mrs. Gebhardt there­ upon commenced suit in Barry circuit for- divorce against said Lumley and last Thursday the decree was granted upon the bill as confessed. A license to wed was then procured and they were legally married the same day. Thus it can be seen that Mr. and Mrs. Gebhardt took the only course anyone else could have done Jnder like circumstances, and instead of being censured they should be praised.

The Essence of Primary Reform. The scope of the reform must be state wide. It must include those of­ ficials the nomination of whom hasbeen placed fartberest from the in­ fluence of the people by theft at the hands, of the professional politicians. The tpain purpose of the reform is cen­ tered in the state officials. Give tbe state a bill providing for their nom­ inations in the primaries, and the nom­ ination of members of the legislature, congressmen and x local officials will follow easily and as a development out of approval of the experience in nomi­ nating the state ticket by direct vote.

Points 'SOUTHERI Cuba That tbe abundant prosperity which the,country has recently enjoyed will continue is augured from the govern­ ment crop report just issued. It is esti­ mated therein that tbe winter wheat crop will, barring accidents which may occur hereafter, amount to 520,090,000 bushels as compared with 362,672,138 bushels last year. It is usual to expect some deterioration from these figures during this month, but even allowing for that, it will be a monster crop. “It is glorious” said an Iowa politician ye*terday. “We can go out and tell the farmers that those are the kinds of crops they grow under a repuollcau|adminis­ tration and they will believe us and vote a straight ticket.” “Yes, and you may as well tell them that it is all due to my management, of the weather bureau, ’’added Secretary Wilwin dryly.

LOUISVILLE 4 NASHVUXJ- T k �—----E The important part which tbe judlo ■'M department of our government acts , feoer national affairs is .eldom realtMkd except when some decision like that in tbe Northern Securities case [jtartdves vast projects and' affects the money centers of tbe country. It is Ch*n made plain that tbe functions of aba courts are extremely essential to the welfare erf the people. By the decision of the United States cfawuit court'of appeals at St. Louis the Northern Securities company which undertook to merge two trunk lines of . MhUroad into one vast system for the purpose of preventing competition and controlling rates is enjoined from vot5tag the stock of tbe Northern Pacific or Groat Northern Railway companies. . The court views the attempt to com­ bine these great competing lines, op­ erating twenty thousand miles of track, m an attempt in restraint of trade and commerce among the several states, .and therefore a violation of the anti­ trust law. It therefore says in effect that the securities company miist undo all that it has done and abandon the purpose of its existence. t In Its consequences goes without saying. It calls a halt to tbe mighty schemes of J; Pierpont Mbrgan and his fellow con­ spirators to gain I control of tbe trans­ portation business of tbe country. It is believed by some that it will affect all tbe consolidations and combinations now existing in the country. If so its. /.interpretation is little short of revolut-' lonary, but tbe trend of opinion among the best informed lawyers and business men seems to be more reae. soring. It is not likely that tbe spirit of tbe anti-trust law nor of its interpre­ tation at St. Louis is meant to be one of ^hostility to long established business B enterprises of any sort. The law Is ap. patently designed to prevent a contin[- nance of methods that have become so ... gigantic within the last ten or fifteen • years as to threaten tbe very liberty ot the people to control their own businew interests. The formation of the 1 Mbrthern Securities company was a mere subterfuge to avoid a direct violHion of tbe anti-trust law. If the pur£ posse of this company are sustained by the courts, there is nothing to prevent Morgan and the other magnates from ^Carrying out their wicked plan of buy­ lug np all the transportation lines In the country, * thereby holding the r American people entirely at tbeir mercy. Regarding the decision from this standpoint^ will prove of inest. ixnable importance to the industrial future of the nation. Al) a Mistake.

If they had any doubt about the sentiment of the western part of tbe state on this proposition, it must have been dispelled by the show­ ing made before the joint meeting of the educational and normal school com­ mittees by representative citizens of the leading cities interested. The gentlemen that appeared before the committees showed themselves to be very much in earnest in asking for a normal school In this part of the state and they presented an array of argu­ ments In favor of their contention that ought to have been convincing as to the need of such an institution. A signifi­ cant fact connected with thia meeting was tbe presence of Principal Jones of tbe State Normal college at Ypsilanti, and Principal Grawn of the Mt. Pleas­ ant normal, and of the strong argu­ ments which they both advanced in favor of another normal school. There can be no question but that the highest welfare of'the state de­ mands better and more general train­ ing of the army of young teachers that the common schools of the state are annually calling for. It is absurd to expect that young men and women just out of the high school without any special preparation or technical know­ ledge of the • principles of pedagogy whatever, can step into a school room even in the country school, and teach successfully. True, the teaching of the past generation has been largely done by such unprepared young men and women, but the time has come when the requirements of the school room can not be thus easily met. The teacher of the twentieth century must have better preparation than the teach­ er of the nineteenth and the schools of the country districts and of the small villages are coming to demand normally trained teachers as well as those of tbe This increased demand for better trained teachers will have to be met by establishing more normal schools in the state. Other states are meeting this demand and Michigan will have to follow suit or fall behind her sister commonwealths In the educational ad­ vancement of the day. It is to be hoped, therefore, that the legislature will see the necessity and reasonable­ ness of granting to western Michigan tbe new normal school which this sec­ tion of the state is asking for. Detroit's Greatest Need. The Detroit Tribune has for the sec­ ond time within the last few weeks made a strong special plea for a bridge across the Detroit river. We wish that journal success in its commendable ef­ forts to bring about the one thing need­ ful to the commercial greatness of De­ troit. The beautiful river that flows past the doors of the city is as great an obstacle to railroad transportation as it is a mighty vehicle for the commerce of the great lakes. This obstacle must be overcome before Detroit can make much further progress. The, wonder­ ful ferry system upon which the rail­ roads have had to depend to transfer their freight and passengers across the river has practically reached the limit of its efficiency and yet the business of । these roads is constantly increasing. In such an emergency as this It would seem as if the whole city of De­ troit would be united in favoring the bridge project, and yet the council are quibbling about a difference of six inches in the matter of grade crossings and talking about going into the courts over It, thereby postponing indefinite­ ly the bridge project which dependsupon tbe previous settlement of the grade crossing question. It is to be hoped that the vigorous campaign for a bridge which one De­ troit paper is making and In which it would seem all the papers of the city would heartily join, may [soon accomp­ lish its purpose. The agitation for the bridge should be kept red hot until tbe city’s authorities wake up to the neces­ sities of the situation. And. visited her son Clayton.

Kw/att as tar­ rta company.-—Chicago Ttib- ft is many years since the United States government has bothered with the making of roads. Years ago, when Henry Clay lived, be was a great friend of good roads. Through hto In­ tervention the government built the national road from Cumberland, Md., almost to fit Louis. ' SF’'S Since then the building of railroads has caused wagon roods to receive less attention. .Their day. however, is com­ ing, thanks to the automobile and the rural mall delivery system. The trou­ ble Is that while many communities de­ sire good roads few know how to build them. ' _ That was why a good roads train traveled1 from Chicago to San Fran­ cisco, giving lessons in roadbuilding, says a writer in the St Louis Post­ Dispatch. Stops of a week were made at many points and conventions held, jyhich were attended by local and state officials. At the conventions the build­ ing of good roads was emphasized, and associations for tho building of good roads were formed. Much time was devoted to building roads and explain­ ing the manner of buildtag. A section^ of road was taken and drained. Part of it was built with one material and part with another in order that those Interested .might see the way of work­ tag with each. This plan was contin­ ued throughout the trip. In speaking of good roads recently United States Highway Commissioner Richardson said he considered'macad­ am roads the best and told how they should be built, as follows: "First you must have your road rolled and graded so that it to dry and firm. On the foundation you must put a layer of crushed stone about two and one-half inches Ln diameter. This layer must be five inches deep. After it has been spread over the ground it must be tolled. If the\rock used contains no ad­ hesive properties, clay or some other substance must be thrown over it be­ fore it to rolled so that its particles may hold together. When the rolling process to over, rock about two inches to diameter must be spread on top to the depth of four inches. This must be rolled also. Then comes the finishing touch—a layer of hard, durable mate­ rial which will cement and bind as ' floes the icing on a layer cake. “Sixteen feet is wide enough for such a road, and In _ some places they are AX OBJDOT LISSOM ROAD.

Too many time# tho dirt road to a drainage canal. Dirt roads must be well drained and well crowned. Crowning to fixing up |he center of the road so that it slopes gradually to each side.” The National Road association lias several objects in view at tbe present time. One to to make the paying of road tax not only the particular duty of the farmer. All property interests are dependent upon good roads, and all should bear the burden, to the argu­ ment of the association. • Another to to abolish the system of working out road tax. In some states men who do Dot desire to pay road tax are permitted to contribute the labor of themselves and their teams instead. The National Good Roads association favors the building of roads under the direction of practical engineers and men trained Ln the science of road­ building. Tbe association contends that the ap­ propriation for tbe building of roads should be as great as that for the deof pur citiren* obtain do advantage from the rivers and harbors, while they are compelled to uao road* all the that are laud In wtnlor atal float lu bnUfllng ot a brawling tbe talr cut abort ■on by •This lx a test of : quMtlons under discussion were attts aid and national aid to roadbufldlng.

The opinion also prevailed that tbe United States government should be­ come one of the co-operating forces in this great work and should pay some share of the cost required to Improve certain leading highways up to a high standard of excellence. - • In this connection the Brownlow bill, now pending In congress, which pro­ vides for a system of cooperation be­ tween the United States and the dif­ ferent states or subdivisions thereof in roadbulldlng. was under considera­ tion. .- It was considered good policy by the participants in the discussion that the United States should be called upon to contribute a share in this nec­ essary improvement of highways. This idea was Indorsed In a resolution, passed by tho convention. Attention was called to tbe fact that the govern­ ment has already appropriated $1,000.­ 000 for such a purpose to Porto -Rico and another million to tbe Philippines, and the secretary of war has lately recommended to congress, with tbe ap­ proval of tbe president, that $3,000,000 should be immediately appropriated for the use of the Philippine government to be mainly expended in building highways find other public Improve­ ments on the Islands. taking ta during the process several mouthfuls of air. ' . This method does more harm than good, causing violent' coughing fits, which irritate the throat and chest, and making the patient morp susceptible to cold. If, therefore, instead of using tbe jug a common bedroom hot water can is taken, well wanned and carefully filled one-third full with boiling water, to which, say, a teaspoonful of eucalyp­ tus oil or whatever the doctor has or­ dered has been added, a capital inhaler has been made. Make a tube of the stiffest notepaper, place over the spout of the can to serve as a mouthpiece, raise the lid of tbe can tbe least Httle bit, and, placing the mouth to the spout, tbe steam escapes as it to breathed out through the lid. It to most important not to fill the can above the opening of the spout, or a mouthful of the boiling water win be sucked in, with most disastrous results. Avoid going into a cold room after in­ haling. One pound of flour, a teaspoonful of cream of tartar, half a teaspoonful of soda, a pound of sugar, half a pound of butter, the whites of sixteen eggs and a teaspoonful of almond flavoring. Beat butter and sugar to a cream, mix with the stiffened whites of the eggs, add flavoring, then the flour, sifted with the soda and cream of tartar.

National and International Canven­ tion to Be Held. - The National Good Roads association has issued invitations for the national and International good roads conven­ tion to be held In St Louis April 27 to May 2, to promote Interest in scientific road construction, says ^he St Louis Republic. W. H. Moore, president of the Good Roads association, recently made the following statement as to the Objects of the convention: “The convention has for Its purpose the broadening of interest in the good roads question and the Initiative for a greater demonstration during the world’s fair In 1904. “The question of road Improvement to receiving more attention than ever before. This country to behind all oth­ ers in tbe civilized world In rood con­ struction. More than 90 per cent of Its area Is destitute of Improved roads, burdened with' primitive methods of roadmaking and made almost Impassa­ ble from mud in winter and Insuffera­ ble from dust In summer. “Persistent agitation of the- good roads question must be kept up until public sentiment shall demand the Im­ provement of highways that In their present condition are barriers to social and commercial progress. “The chief subject demanding public attention to Industrial Improvements, the most important of which is the betterment of the common roads. The convention will hear discussions upon sdentifle methods of common road con­ struction, including plans for providing for their cost and maintenance, togeth­ er with recommendations for practical public road legislation. The nations of tbe world are commercially and social­ ly interested In this Important ques­ tion. They will be represented in the convention.” ' Good Roads Versus Good Schools. One of the most beneficial results of road improvement to the facility It gives to consolidate country schools and thus concentrate our children Into central buildings, so making graded schools possible in our country dis­ tricts. Where Improved roads exist the children by means of bicycles eas­ ily go long distances to central schools. Thus graded roads make possible grad­ ed schools, the Improved roads work­ tag in. harmony with the state educa­ tion taw, giving the children of the rural districts tbe same advantages as those residing In cities. In one year forty-four Connecticut towns by means of improved roads were enabled to give free transportation to a large number of their pupils, says the New York Tribune. Eighty-four small schools were closed, and 849 children rode to the central schools. The cost of trans­ portation was about $12,000, but a gross amount of some $20,000 was saved, leaving a net saving of some $8,000. This saving was only a smal’. part of the benefit derived, for It re­ sulted In a better attendance and bet­ tor schools. This close co-ordination between improved roads and education cannot be too strongly Impressed upon tbe public attention. How to Open a Lobster.

Father Conners, gave a very successful banquet on the evening of St. Patrick's day, it seemed as If it would be a very difficult thing to re­ peat the function another year with equal eclat. But the event of last Thursday evening at Reed’s opera house proved conclusively that it could be done. . The Easter banquet given by St. Rose’s parish was if possible even a more delightful affair than the St. Patrick’s day festival of a year ago. The walls of the opera house were adorned with American flags, and long tables filled the floor space. These tables were made beautiful with flowers and were set with a taste that made them delightful to look upon. Best of all to the hungry guests, no doubt, was , the profusion of appetizing viands, pre­ pared with all the culinary skill for which Hastings housekeepers are fa­ mous and" served with deftness and grace by a number of charming young ladies. Under such conditions the most critical of epicures must have been en­ tirely satisfied, especially when the feast was accompanied by good music by the opera house orchestra. After about 350" people bad partaken of the banquet Father Conners in a few gracious words of welcome turned over the literary program of the evening to the toastmaster, Hon. Thomas Sullivan, who performed the duties of that func­ tionary with the ready wit for'which he is noted. The Hastings Male Quar­ tet, consisting of Messrs. Horton, Wil­ kinson, Ketcham and Paton, opened the program with a well rendered se­ lection, after which Judge Clement Smith responded to the toast, “Our Country.” After very neatly turning a ; little joke on the Smith family perpe­ trated by the toastmaster, the judge proceeded in his usual earnest and im­ pressive way to note some of the things which make this country of ours great and some of the dangers which threaten its greatness. He paid a high compli­ ment to Roman Catholic Americans for their patriotism. Prof, Neapolitan© of Detroit then fa­ vored the company with a well rendered solo on the violin,, which was encored, after which Judge E. J. Doyle of Grand Rapids' responded to “The Catholic Church in America.” After prefacing his remarks with a good story well told, as a sort of an ap­ petizer to the feast that was to follow, Judge Doyle gave a most entertaining and instructive review of the part which Roman Catholics played in the early history of this country, from the days of Columbus and Isabella to the dark days of the American revolution when Catbolle France came to the rescue of the straggling patriots under Washing­ ton. He called attention to the fact that the principle of religious toleration Which forms one of the cardinal doo-, trines of oar government had its incep­ tion, not in Puritan New England, nor among the followers of William Penn, nor in Virginis, bat in Catholic Mary­ land. Mias Carrie Btebblns then sang a beautiful solo, entitled “Asthore” after which Hon. B. J. Onen of Battle Creek was called upon to speak to the toast “Leo XIII.” Mr. Ones had a sugges­ tive and inspiring theme and showed viewed the career of the venerable and remarkable bead of the Roman Catholic church, paying an eloquent tribute to his wonderful spiritual and intellectual powers. ■- • After Miss Bertha Pflug bad sung in a pleasing manner a solo entitled “The Swallows,” Hon W.

Old Iron Works Property to be Oc­ cupied If Demonstration of Engin© is Successful. .,’1 The prospects for a new industry in' Hastings are very flattering. Frank! Dickinson of Lyons, a practical ma­ chinist end the inventor of a new gat and gasoline engine, was in the city Tuesday forenoon, looking for a loca­ tion, where he could get immediate possession of a plant for the manufaoft-[ ure of engines. For a short time in the morning :__ Mayor'Hams escorted Mr. Dickinson 7] around among the business men, after which the latter met Hon. P. T. Colgrove who, with Syl owns the plant of the located within one block of the bust- ; neas portion of the city. His talk with Mr. Colgrove was satisfactory to him and his opinion of our city was the J best, and from encouragement re- -j ceived he believes the outlook Is good i for the location of the plant here. Mr. Dickinson had drawings of his invention with him, showing the sim­ plicity of the engine. The same is not?. ,] yet patented, but a patent attorney has I the matter in charge and informs hhn that there will be no dlffiiculty in se­ curing the patent. . The Herald understands that if a company is organized here Messrs Colgrove and Greusel will sell the bld iron works plant at a reasonable price and take the full amount in stock and the machinery, which is owned , by the Battle Creek Iron Works, will also be transferred. ’ '** ' The plant consists of six city lots, each 63x132 feet, situated on the Une of the Michigan Central railroad with side track fronting 136 feet. The prop-, , erty extends back to the river 350 feet. ' and runs at right angles with 110 feet fronting on Jefferson street next UK--, water works station. There-are three hydrants and the main line of water ! pipes next to the property, with a line of water pipe to the boiler room, thence to different parts of the shop. The lo­ cation is central and the best in the city. The buildings are wooden, brick [ veneer inside, one story and steel roof.' .: There are ten rooms, exclusive of the j boiler room, as follows: office, 12x30 : feet; three main rooms 40x40 ft., 40x40 ft., and 50x15 ft., and six store room* i ® 20x40 ft.’ 20x40 ft., 16x24 ft., 16x20 ft., 14x30 ft., and 18x30 ft. The boiler ' room is of of brick 12x18 feet with brick smoke stack 45 feet high.. Then is also a driveway for teams around all buildings to the two streets. : The machinery equipment consists of one 25 horse power boiler, 10 horse power engine and all pipes nearly new, ) 100 feet of 2-inqh line shaft and about 20 iron pulleys in position, main drive j belt 38 feet long by 9 inches wide, four steam radiators and colls and pipe for [heating shops and office by live or ex­ haust steam, electric lights in main fooms and offline, telephone wires In position, water pipes and faucets from city water works.

Hotel Barry’ to be Opened. N. K. Riddle of Detroit, owner of the Hotel Barry, was in the city Monday and rented the property to Mrs. Frank Stebbins for one year with the privilege of three. Mrs. Stebblnsj as is well 1 known, has been running a boarding ; house on the corner of Court and Church ।streets for several years. Her patronage has become so large that she has felt warranted in assuming the charge of a I hotel and boarding house on a larger iscale. With her successful experience ■and. business energy and with the in- . ; 'creasing demands for hotel accommoda­ 'tions in this dty there la every reason . to believe that Mrs. Stebbins will make H fa success of-her ambitious venture. The Barry will be opened for buslnees j on 1 the first of May. The rates will be 1•1.25 per day. A free bu* will make ail 'trains. Charles Stebbins, son of the landlady, will act aa clerk.

It rises from the side of the Padfic glader. It first appears like a heavy mist and soon becomes clearer, and one can distinctly see tho specter dty, well defined streets and trees, tall spires and huge and odd shap­ ed buildings which appear to be an­ cient mosques or cathedrals. It is a dty which would seem to contain at least 25,000 or 30,000 inhabitants. As yet no one has been able to iden­ tity although several have claimed to recognize the place. There is no dty like it in Alaska, nor in any country about It for thousands of miles. Some claim It is a dty in Russia, others say it is a dty in England, but none can tell where and what it is. The mirage was given the name of Silent City, as it appears to one like a dead dty. There is nothing that would Indicate that it is inhabited. A farmer’s life may be rather monot-' onous as a rule but it has its momenta of keen excitement. At least that is what William H. Couch, the genial auc­ tioneer, will tell you, since Lbe experi­ ence of his boy drilling in oata the other morning. Tbe team took a notion to liven things up a little and ran away. When they came to the rail fence they cleared it at a bound, taking the drill with them, but not the oats, which wore sowed in a heap. Pursuing £helr play­ ful career they next frightened a team that was plowing in,an adjoining field and the latter joined the race. Final­ ly the teams were captured, the only damage being a broken plow, but things were more lively on that farm for a time than a horse race or a naval battle.

That good roads have a money value to farmers will be granted by all. That the money value of improved highways is alone sufficient to Justify the cost of their construction will be confidently claimed or readily admitted by many farmers, questioned by other* and de-, nled by not a few. In view Of tbe financial and many other advantage* of good roads a ma­ jority of the farmer* would favor their construction as rapidly as practicable under some efficient, economical and equitable system of highway improve­ ment. But there is a considerable pro­ portion of the farmer*, doubtless onefifth and possibly one-fourth, who have little knowledge or appreciation of the benefits of good roads and who there­ fore object on account of the great cost THE FARMER S HANDICAP. •f highway improvement The farm­ ers of this class know that they willhave to bear their full share of the burden of such Improvement They dis­ credit Dot wholly without reason, tho statements and conclusions of many public writers as to the losses and gains to farmers from poor and good roads respectively; hence they view with apprehension the general agita­ tion in favor of improved highways. Ignoring or undervaluing the educa­ tional and social advantages as well as the comfort and enjoyment of good roads, or feeling unable to pay the price of such benefits, these farmers1 regard frith distrust and disfavor meas­ ures for highway improvement, ..and they are likely to oppose efforts for the betterment of our roads unless they can first be convinced that good roads will prove a paying financial investment Speaking, therefore, in behalf of those who for any reason are not influenced by the higher considerations in favor of Improved highways, I raise the ques­ tion, Will it pay the farmers in dollars and cents to improve their public roads? r Before attempting to answer this question let us consider in what ways permanently good roads will prove financially beneficial to 'farmers. All will agree, I think; that a good road will— First —Economise time and force ’in ®'* ”* — «■­ transportation between farm and mar­ ket Second.—Enable the farmer to take advantage of market. fluctuations in buying and selling. Third.—Permit the transportation of farm products and purchased commodi­ ties during times of comparative lei­ sure. ' Fourth.—Reduce the wear and tear on horses, harness and vehicles. Fifth.—Enhance the market' value of real estate. But there is another aide to this question—viz, tbe increased value of land from highway improvement Just here tbe objection may be raised that the improved road* would not increase thq productive capacity of the land, while tbe enhanced commercial value would increase the taxes. Let us, for the sake of argument, grant this planalble but fallacious objection and then find what ■it amounts to. Let us suppose the in­ crease in appraisement for taxation to be H an acre and the tax rate 1% per cent This would mean an annual in­ crease in taxes of ”5. cents an acre, or W a hundred acres. Would not our ob­ jector after enjoying the, benefit of good roads be very willing to give therefor the extra $5 if necessary? Would he keep the money and go back to the tnraldom of mud roads? If so. he has tbe option of selling his farm at an advance, according to the average estimates of his brother farmers, that will more than doubly reimburse him for his expenditure on highway im­ provements, and he can then remove to some native wild whose quiet waters have not been "troubled” by the spirit ter, then wiped with a Owe linen towel. among farmers of Ute necessity and than when It comes in valves, and their eye* are covered by a are further furnished with an arrange­ ment which prevents the water from getting down their own throats when they are bolding large animals under the water to drown them.

C., April 27,1M3. There has been, within tbe past wedq open avowal of the determination on the part of certain influential republi­ cans to defeat Mr. Roosevelt in tbe na­ tional republican convention. This op­ position is based on his alleged erratlctem and the ground that lie te not a “safe man.” It !s an llkwind which blows nobody gopd, however, and tbe same men who are opposing Mr. Roose­ velt are contemplating tbe support of the democratic ticket if a wareful and conservative man should be the nomi­ nee. A prominent New Yorker whi> has been recently, in Washington said, on this subject, “We do.not want a man in the white bouse who is always look­ ing for a new sensation and wbe is witl­ ing to abandon even tbe things of hte, own invention as soon as they Cease to be novel. The enforcement of laws wbicb exist and the advocacy of more effective legislation to a desired end is not to be objected to in a president, but we do not, want a president to whom the sensational appeals and who would do a thipg in tbe wrong way rather than in the right in order to appear in the glare of the lime light.” This te only a sam-* pie of the argument* advabded against Mr. Roosevelt’s candidacy by that ele­ ment of New York business men known as “conservatives” and It is heard so frequently as to occasion serious con­ cern to tbe supporters of the president. The weak and half hearted manner in whichkhe postmaster general has been conducting the investigations ordered by tbe president has produced a start­ ling retra lulu ring tbe past week. Tbe wife of the assistant attorney general for the postoffice department, wijh the assMtance of her sister and a safe ex­ pert, has abstracted from the safe which contained, presumably, the private and confidential papers of the division, all the documents it contained an# refused to surrender them to the postmaster general when a demand was made. The sister of Mr*. Tyner, who accompanied her on the expedition, is the mother of 'Hamilton j. Barrett, late lAw-clerk of the postoffice, whose conduct te now un­ der investigation, because of hte known association with a turf investment com­ pany some of whose officers have been recently sentenced to term* Tn the pen­ itentiary for fraud. It is. alleged in some quarters that the object of the raid was the abstraction of papers which would have incriminated young Barrett. The loose methods pureued by tbe poetmaster general are shown in'that, notwithstanding the fact that this divis­ ion has been under investigation for over a month, by order of the president, there is no record of tbe papers in the Tyner safe and now t^at the case has been turned over to the attorney gen­ eral for prosecution be has no evidence with which to refute the claim of Mrs. Tyner that she removed only private papers belonging to herself and her busband. It is alleged that practically the same thing occurred in the case of Superintendent Machen’s safe which, when examined by the inspectors, was -found to contain very few documents. Another remarkable feature of the Tyner incident te that Assistant and Acting Attorney General Chrlstiancy failed to notify tbe postmaster general of what was going on, although aware of the presence of Mrs. Tyner and her the plants. country by repreculture who will afford them ©very assistance itrseelug the country.

It is learned at the staje department that Mr. Andrew Carnegie has added to.tl^e long list of hte benefactions by donating 81,500,000 for the ejection of a building to accommodate tbe Hague Tribunal. Mr. Carnegie has long been a most earnest advocate of peace and arbitration and bis generous donation is only a concrete expression of bis great gratification at the establishment of an international arbitration tri-, buoal. A rumor to ibis effect was in circulation some time ago but no defl­ nite action had been taken at that time and ooly last week did Mr. Car­ negie put bis offer in writing.

Bick rooms should be ventilated even more conscientiously than the rest of the bouse. Many an amateur nurse forgets that tbe sick require pure air quite as much ns the well and so neg­ lect to secure all the air space that is necessary or available. All draperies, hangings and stuffed pieces of furni­ ture that are not absolutely necessary should be banished from the sick room. To air the room without giving the pa­ tient cold place an extra blanket or, coverlet over the bed. draw the sheet up over the patient's head and face and let a strong draft Now through the room for a few minutes. This will effectually dislodge any layers of foul air that may have collected.

Tbe Taxation of Credits Bl' One of the most important matters to Igfotfaim the attention of the legislature is ^ ' embodied in the Campbell bill which $ • provides for the amendmentof the pres­ ent taxation law so as to exempt mort­ gages and other forms of credits from taxation, his Baid that the members are generally undecided as to tbe best l way to dispose of this bill not knowing r? whether their constituents want such a t’ or not. ro?From an equitable point of view there fc,. ’ are serious objections to the present law taxing mortgagee. While it maj have been designed to place upon the rolls a large amount of wealth in the form of credits that otherwise would R7- escape taxation, in practice tbe law has «. .Operated in such a way as to impose |P"JiOuble taxation on mqrtgaged real B ' ettateand the borrower has had to stand k the brunt of this burden, instead of tbe r:- lender. For instance, a farm assessed at 17,000 may be mortgaged for *3,500. m; The owner pays taxes ou *7,000 and the M holder of tho mortgage pays taxes on bis F ;*3,500 mortgage, thus imposing double £ taxation. And if the mortgagee hapL* pens to live in a different county from B that in which the land Ib situated the taxes he pays upon such land go to the |c\ benefit of a county that bos no juat ip claim upon funds thus raised. If the . law could be so amended us to avoid the p' double taxation feature, reaching the - . - money lender for his just share of the HBttrapD, and if tbe funds thus raised G • could be applied for the benefit of the ESj community ia which the mortgaged E -property is situated, tho most objoccionr.,/ able features of the present system -would be overcome. Whether the remedy proposed by the E Campbell bill would not create a vast S amount of confusion in the tax system <rf the state and by upsetting existing methods, complicate matte'rs in a way ? that would be detrimental to the public P -Interests is also a problem to be consldr; cred. It is evident that so important a K. proposition ought not to be acted upon fcg hastily or without the fullest discussion. lj The Defeat of the Grouse! Bill. Nothing which the legislature has done ibis season shows its attitude to­ , wards home rule so conclusively as the by the house of tbe Greusel bill. This measure was designed to t give the people of Detroit an opportun­ ity to defend their own interests against the greediness of the street? rail way cor'.paration. which now has the city by the throat. The bill provided for the submtatou to the people of citire of the question of municipalownershipof pubItafranchkoB. Under such a law, when tbe prexent franchises of the street rail­ way companies of Detroit expired, the people might vote, if they wished, to •ikMMune control of such franobiscB, and buy and operate or lease the street rail­ way system of the city. • ; The advantage which tbe people ^WCpMLavein dealing with the street pbttway mouopok under such a law is abviwus. It would enable the city to J'.juialse equitable terms with tbe biggest sod most unconscionable corporation it ^biaa todaal with, or it could take over properties and luelf control the transportation of the people through . the streets. The law would have fiime a maass of bringIY octopus to terms. --*ihtng which the I high and mighty lawaly voted no and killed principle of home rule a chance to show what it could accomplish for the good of the great municipalities at the state, especially for Detroit. It may well be believed, however, tEat the time ,wiH soon come when this principle wilV be recognized by tbe legislature. For the people will rise in their might and de­ mand its recognition so imperatively that no legislature will dare to refuse. FUX That Oaaawt Swin.

Robins, 'American robins build plaster and dry grass nests in the crotches of treee, while the little English bird of the same name, only about half aa big as its .cousin in America, makes a soft moss nest on the ground. Its breast in a yellow, red or scarlet, much brighter than the American bird, and It Bings even more sweetly, but it Is of small value as an insect destroyer. The American robin, on the other bp nd, has a much duller, quieter coat, a more extended vocabulary, sounding many distinct notes of warning, fear, joy, etc., but not in so sweet a song, and is an Inveterate worm and Insect hunter. With only occasional lapses into vege­ tarianism. at strawberry and cherry ripe time, tbe American robin is really one of the most industrious allies tbe farmer can have. Of course British critics say that the practice of adulterating silk with tin originated in Germany. At any rate, it Is common enough now. All silk is mixed with more or less foreign matter tc give it weight and stability. Vegetable substances were formerly used for the purpose. In dye­ ing silk the necessary boiling reduces its weight about one-fourth, taking oat the natural gummy substances. The weight is sometimes restored with tan­ nic add. Tin is more common- most of all in cheap black silks. Very soft "wash" silks are apt to be pure. Burn a scrap, and nothing re­ mains but ash. A tin weighted scrap when carefully burned leaves a resi­ duum like excessively fine wire gauze. —New York World.

The young wo- loantas over you are writing ‘Jereeys’ for agricul­ tural papers, won't you try to explain that white markings, tongue and switch are not signs of Impurity? Farmers need this drummed-, into them.” * It is a fact well known among Jersey breeders that our farmer friends’ who are not skilled in our craft and who are acquainted with the-more material history of tbe Jeraeys regard any de­ parture from the grays, fawns, lem­ ons/ etc., of solid-dolors as of impure breeding. But we can scarcely blame these Innocent laymen, however an­ noying It may be to have them come Into our tyrns and call attention to some of our most valuable cows and say, "These spotted ones are not regis­ tered, are they?" We can’t blame them, for they have merely made some logical observation of tbe fool ideas and fads many.prominent breeders of Jerseys, have brought into‘the fore­ ground of the business of breeding. They may have seen us turn down a fine animal because she ticked her meal with a white tongue or chased the flies off her, back with a tail hav­ ing a white or mixed switch. They may never have heard of some of tho early Jersey queens that had as. much white on them as have the Guernseys' and that in breeding away the spots many things of vastly more impor­ tance than color of hair were In many cases bred away also. A)me of these same people may have been at the great Cooper sale last May and seen certainly tbe best working, in­ dividuals in that great collection of magnificent animals sell for a song compared to the prices of some of the dainty peta of pedigrees. I refer espe­ cially to the great "black” cows that 1 am sur£ would eat and turn to profit­ able use more of our cheap American foods in. one day than many of their sensational companions could use in two. 1 -Bo, if we regulation breeders have not .the courage of our convic­ tions and knowledge, how can we ex­ pect our plain farmer friends to be wiser than our folly? They think, as they know we are all eminently sensi­ ble people, that whereas wV discount tho off colors and shades there must be some business reason for it and con­ clude naturally that the spots come from manifest taints of blood and that a ’white tongue may hare a virulent prepotency that qhail contaminate a race.—W. F. McSparran in Stockman and Farmer. The internal revenue department has seized a carload of cotton seed oil made by the Louisville Cotton Oil company for Moxley & Co., oleo manufacturers in Chicago, claiming that this oil bus been artificially colored for Moxley's use in making butterine, thus evading the color tax oleo law. If the charge is correct, Moxley has been able by this subterfuge to sell colored oleo anl escape the government tax of 10 cents per pound Imposed on colored imitation butter.—Breeder’s Gazette. “I presume,’’ said the city boarder, •that you get your buttermilk from that sour looking old cow with tbe crumpled horn and the vicious cast in her eyes?*’ "Oh," interrupted the charming young lady from the efty before the milkmaidecould frame a reply, “I thought they got tbe butter­ milk from the go a fl” Warm bran mashes and warm water to drink the first twenty-four hours after calving will often save a cow from trouble and'start her safely on her period of usefulness. finned that a distinct breed of dairy cows would be the most profitable on Kansas farms.** What is tbe matter with Kansas? asks Hoard’s Dairyman. Are her feeds, her rlimate, her farmers, so terribly lacking that tbe same profit that a special dairy cow brings in Wis­ consin or Ohio cannot be bad there? Some of the good dairy herds of Kan­ sas .ought to send Brother Jepsen some figures. The real dairy cow seems to be In his mind a matter of locality, and still all over the Union she is doing the most profitable work, and a Jot of dual purpose men don't know It. She is not adapted to Kansas, Nebraska, Iowa, Minnesota, Illinois, etc., so they say. We suppose poor returns at the rrearpe-ry and at least 20 to 80 per cent leas net profit per cow year after year are especially adapted to the farmers of those states. Great argument that I have been breeding Ayrshires since 1873, says C. M. Winslow of Vermont In Rural New Yorker. I began by buy­ ing the best I copld And, always breed­ ing from tbe beat top crosses I could obtain to carry out my formulated plan. I have made a great many'mlatakes and failures, but the average of my stock is, I ttflnk, steadily Improving, and now and then I get a decided im­ provement on the beet I could buy to start with. I have always been on tho lookout to find better female stock toimprove my herd and have bought a good many and found they were no better than mine when placed side by side and have disposed of them and worked away at my original stock. My cows are well cared for, being fed reg­ ularly, and fairly well, though not forced. Being kept for a breeding herd, they are fed that ration which will pro­ duce tbe strongest constitution and the most robust health. This fine Jersey cow.

Ohio, Indiana, Kansas, California and perhaps some other states have much better equipped dairy schools than has Pennsylvania, saya Stockman and Farmer. Tbe authorities of tbe Pennsylranla State college are in nowise to blame for this. It can only be at­ tributed to the indifference of the dai­ rymen of the state. The creamery operators of Pennsyl­ vania are paying the farmers more for their milk than the operators of New York pay, yet sell their butter at do higher price. It does not follow, how­ ever, that the farmers of Pennsylva­ nia are receiving too much for their milk, but that they are failing to Ap­ preciate the advantages -which they are enjoying.

Where did pint very common word ‘‘fudge’’ come from, and what does It realty mean? Tbe appearance of the word In literature is In tbe description of the call of Lady Blarney and Miss Carolina Wilhelmina Amelia Skeggs on tbe vicar of Wakefield's household: "But previously I should have mention­ ed the very impolite behavior of Mr. Burchell, who, during his discourse, sat with his face turned to the fire and at the conclusion of every sentence would, cry out ‘Fudge!’ an expression which displeased us ail and In some measure dampened the rising spirit of the con­ versation." Does the word come from the provincial French "fucLe" or the low German "fut-ch?” Or shall we trace It to the story of 1700 quoted by the eider Disraeli.

The plant has been practically idle for about a year, but Monday when representative of the Herald made a call upon Mr. Bowling he and several workmen were found busy clicking up and getting the machinery in good working order. When asked by the Herald if be were going tocontinuetue manufacture . of drees stays, Mr. Bowling said “Yes, crrtainly,” and then he went on to tell us that stays all over the country had bad a rocky road to travel for several yean, but there was still a demand for them. The demand was not sufflcient. however, to warrant the manufacture of that article alone. He also informed us that the Bowling whalebone would also be manufactured, and that be was going th add the manulactnre-of garments for children between three and twelve years of age, Iq/Ti^c’ fin* handkerchief*, dress shields, etc. . Mr. Bowling said be did not want to make any further statements at the present time as to what would be done, he preferred to let the demand regulate tbe number of hands employed, but he spoke with confidence of the success of his undertaking, and the Herald hopes the enterprise will be a fortunate one for our city.

Secured More Than a Thousand Dollars in Cash and Stamps and Escaped. Friday night or Saturday morning one of the most successful poetoffice “ robberies attempted for some time in western Michigan was carried out with complete success at Middleville, the burglars getting away with about 960 in cash and between 11,200 and 91,300 in postage stamps. The robbery was not known until about 7:00 o’clock Sat­ urday morning when the postoffice was opened. _ • The postoffice is located just across the Michigan Central tracks from the Warren Featherbone factory and di­ agonally across from -French’s grist mill. A watchman b employed at the Featherbone factory and two at French's mill, but none of them heard a sound. Entrance to the building was gained by breaking a small bole in the window glass and pulling the stop and raising the window; then the shutters which were fastened with a bolt at the top and bottom were Dried off. A punch and hammer was used to lo­ cate the lock to the safe, after which a half or live-eighth inch drill was used and a hole made in the safe. This was filled with nitroglycerine and dyna­ mite and the lock blown off, after which the robbers got Into the cash and stamp boxes without any trouble. The inside of the safe was gotten into by the use of a jimmy and chisel. The officers in thb city were notified and as soon as possible Sheriff Cortright and Prosecutor Walker were up­ on the scene and commenced and in­ vestigation. In company with Deputy Sheriff Andrus they discovered that the burglars bad stolen a horse and buggy from Frank Pratt’s barn and gone south. A posse followed and when about six miles out the horse was found on its way home. They went about six or eight miles further and found where the rig bad turned around in the road end they also found where two men had started towards Shelby­ ville. They evidently took the G. R. & I. train at this station and made good their escape before the deed was dis­ covered. In the morning after the robbery the postoffice employes swept up a spool box full of red powder which was said to have been giant powder but upon investigation it was found to be plain red pepper. So far as the officers here are concerned they believe the robbery was committed by professionals instead of amateurs. The red pepper was used so that if any attempt were made to trace them it could not be done as this would not give dogs any scent to follow. Then again at Pratt’s barn horse blankets were placed upon the floor so the buggy and horse could be removed noiselessly. In the postoffice this red pepper was placed all over the floor and between the dozen or fifteen mall pouches which were placed upon the safe to deaden the sound. The tools used were stolen from Bris­ tow's blacksmith shop. The loss would have been much greater but for the fact that Postmas­ ter Johnson had remitted nearly all the money en hand to the department at Washington for the quarter ending April 30, keeping only enough on hand to pay money orders. The robbery is Supposed to have been committed between 1:00 and 2:00 o'clock as residents heard a rig going out of town about Ihat time. *1.00 A Permit for a Dam, The Tbornapple Electric company ^as filed with County Clerk Smith a petition addressed to the board of super­ visors. Permission is requested to build a dam on Thornapple river in' section 16, Cascade township, about twenty rods west of the bridge in that section. The height of the dam above water level is to be twenty-two feet. It is to bo constructed of atone, earth, cement, steel and lumber and will have a spillway about the width of the natural channel., The petition is made for the company by Wesley W. Hyde. TLere is a question whether this pe­ tition can be brought up and properly considered by the board at its next aesaion. as the company desires. The May session is regarded by law as a 8)>ecial session and Lt U required by law that any measure which is to be brought up before the board shall be mentioned In the call. This obstacle is not seriously regarded by the company, which is in­ clined to the belief that the board will consider its application anyway' The company takes this step as a precaution­ ary measure, being inclined to the opinion that because the river Is not navigable the consent of the board is not absolutely essential to the carrying out of its project. The purpose of constructing the dam in this place, which is about ten miles from the city, is to secure power for a current which wiH be brought to Grand Rapids. The company has already ap­ plied to the common council for a fran­ chise.- Grand I^apids Press. Michigan Central Excursions.

He has a right to his opinion, but when he places childless­ ness in the same category with- criminal acts he goes too far.

Then the cattle owners be­ gan bidding against each other for the choicest corners of the range, and the aborigine calmly lit a fresh pipe and said that he thought that he must real­ ly charge S3 for each steer. This was willingly paid, and the red man opened his eyes and began to give the matter a litjde serious thought, which resulted in the quiet announcement a few days age that tbe range interested had been pooled ahd that the price would ,bereafter be $5 a steer for pastqrage. The cattle raisers were fairly caught, and many will pay th# advanced price, as they have no time to make other graz­ ing, arrangements.

Is the Popular Will To Be Ignored? <*hw property. It may be assumed that the Mate tax sire to be just to these corporations. No doubt they believed that other property wm assessed too low, although they themselves exercise jurisdiction over the valuation of general property and are therefore themselves responsible for IL But they reasoned that it would be better to treat the railroads fairly in the matter than to give them cause to complain of injustice, and tehee added to the valuation of general property what they thought ought to be added. Byt in taking this arbitrary course it is clear even to the unprofessional mind that they were transcending their legal powers and tbe decision of the supreme court against them was inevitable. The result will be that the commission will have to meet as an assessing board, and fix the rate for railroad property on the basis afforded by the other assess­ ing boards. This will materially in­ crease tbe taxation of the corporations concerned and as President Freemau says, cause the railroads “to put up-the fight of their lives” to break down the present law. Mr. Freeman admits that in trying to act equitably the tax commiseioners have been led into illegal conditions but intimates that there is danger in trying to take too much of losing all. At any rate the decision of the su­ preme court will strengthen tbe purpose of tbe railroads to fight out their case in the federal courts and postpone for some time the colie Jtion of the 11,300,000 extra taxation which the tax commis­ sion imposed upon these corporations the current year. As this money would have gone into the primary school fund, it will be seen that the educational in­ terests of the people are the sufferers from all this litigation. . ;.

Tbe more unMlflsh, charitable aud exalted the life and mission of the in­ dividual, the larger will be the number of instances of Ingratitude that must be met and vanquished. Tbe thirty years of Christ's life was a tragedy of Ingratitudes. Ingratitude is manifest in three degrees of intensity in the world—be knew them all in number­ less bitter instances. The first phase, the simplest and most common, is that of thoughtless thanklessnese, as whs shown in the Case of the ten lepers healed in one day. Nine departed without a word; only one gave thanks. The second phase of ingratitude to denial, a posltiveain, not the,mere ne­ gation Of thanklessness. This was ex­ emplified m Peter, who, in hto selfish desire to stand well with two maids and some bystanders In the hour when he bad the opportunity to be loyal to Ohrtot, forgot hto friendship, lost all thought of .Ills Indebtedness to bis Master and denied him, not once or twice, but three times. The third phase of Ingratitude is treachery, where selfishness grows vin­ dictive, as shown by Judas, the hon­ ored treasurer of the little band of thirteen, whoso jealousy, ingratitude and thirty pieces of silver made possi­ ble the tragedy of Calvary. These three—thanklessness, denial and treachery—run the gamut of in­ gratitude, and the first leads to the second, and the seconl prepares the way for the third. We must ever tower high above de­ pendence on human gratitude, or we can do nothing really great, nothing truly noble. The expectation of grat­ itude is the alloy of an otherwise vir­ tuous act It ever dulls the edge of even our best actions. Most persons look at gratitude as a protective tariff on virtues. The man who to weakened in well doing by the ingratitude of oth­ ers is serving God on a salary basis. He is a hired soldier, not a volunteer. He should be honest enough to see that he to working for a reward. Like a child, he is being good for a bonus. He to really regarding hto kindness as moral stock he is willing to bold only ao long ns it pays dividends. There to In such living always a touch of the pose; it to waiting for the ap­ plause of the gallery.

World’s Dispensary Medical Association, Prop’s, Buffalo, N. Y. *■. THE REASON.-—There is uo medicine equal-to Doctor Pierce’s Golden Medical Discovery, for the purifying of the blood. It carries off the poisens which contaminate the life Raid. It increases the activity of the blood-making glands * and gives the body an increased supply of pure, body-build• ing blood. It builds up the body with sound, healthy flesh instead of flabby fatf-promotes the appetite, feed* the nerves, and so gives to weak nervous people vitality and vigor. Many people wonder how a medicine that can cure indiges­ tion can also cure blood diseases. The reason is that pimples, sores and all skin diseases are the direct result of impure blood. If we,can find some way to purify lhe blood and eradicate the poisons—we can cure the disorder which shows on the skin. The R Discovery " helps the assimilation of food In the stomach—thus the blood takes up from the stomach what it requires to make good rich blood, thereby increasing the red blood-corpuscles. At the same time the liver is forced into activity and the poisons in tbe body are thrown out. "I am nleaaed to tell you that three bottles of Doctor Pierce’s Golden Medical Discovery has cured my btubatid of liver corn­ plaint and indigestion,*’ writes Mrs. G. Hall, of Novar, Ontario. "He Buffered for a long time with pain tn hi* right aide and had to leave off work several time*. Tned three doctors here but they . did not do any good; also tried several kind* of patent medicine* but received no benefit Then I wrote to you and you advised us to try your ‘ Golden Medical Discovery. ’ We got a bottle at one? and before my husband bad taken all of this one bottle he was -feeling ever so much better and able to work again. He con■ tinned with the ‘ Discovery, ’ until he bad taken three bottlee and . . i* now feeling better than for years. We both thank you, and, if you think by publishing this that it will benefit other sufferers, you are at liberty to do *0. We have got several friends to try your ‘.Golden Medical Discovery ’ for different complaint* and I am pleased to say that it has never failed. We wish you every success." ■This is to certify that I have used Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery and think it’s the grandest medicine in the world," write* Mrs. V. M. Young, of Weir, W. Va. "I took down sick in January last (six months age) and called in our physician and be gave me medicine hut I grew worse. He said I had dyspepsia in its wotrt form. I decided to try your medicine and began to im­ prove. I used five bottles, two qf the * Golden Medical Discov­ ery' and three of ’ Favorite Prescription,’ and now am doing my own house work. A number of my lady friends also are using Dr. Pierce’s medicine and they recommend it highly. MayzGoa bless and prosper you in your grand work." "I take pleasure in recommending Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery as a blood purifier," writes L- J. Smithwick, Esq., Accountant, of Norfolk, Va. "For years I was a sufferer from a very obstinate form of skin disease, commonly known as tetter, which, being confined tb tbe palms of my hands and fingers, wa* very annoying. In cold weather the skin would become hard and dry and would break or crack, which was very painful. ■I.wrote to Dr. Pierce stating the case and requesting his advice. He advised me to try his ‘Golden Medical Discovery’ to purify the blood after which be thought the skin trouble would all dis­ appear, and I am grateful to say that after the fourth bottle there was no sign of the disease left. I think Dr. Pierce’s Golden Med­ ical Discovery a wonderful blood purifier and most heartily recommend it to all who may be suffering from any form of skin disease.” To gain knowledge of your own body—in sickness and health—send for the People's Common Sense Med­ ical Adviser.

E fc, HERALD “WANTS.” No advertise- I its Hardbeartedness and Jealousy are Herein Fearlessly Exposed. Our contemporary tbe Banner prob­ ably not having much material for copy in these quiet, uneventful days, hit up­ on a happy theme last week. Why not stir up a little local politics? There was nothing doing in national politics; for some occult reason there is nothing which the Banner can say on the burningquestlon of primary reform; and so what more natural than to turn to local politics, cast a critical and scrutinizing eye over the dpings of tbe democratic mayor and the democratic council, find some dreadful deed that these gentle­ men have committed, and publish it broadcast before an astonished nod out­ raged world. ’ This Is just what the Banner did. It looked over tbe appointments of Mayor Hams until its eagle eye fell upon the ominous name of William F. Hicks. It was unnecessary to go any further. Hare was inspiration and suggestion enough to fill nearly two columns, with How Is This, Mr Cook? a triple heading. Forthwith the mas­ sive thought-works of our contemporary Tbe following Item appeared in the were set in motion.

Why, simply this: Mr. Hicks tention last summer in the Barry county convention because of bls stand against happens to hold several local offices at boodie methods, brings up Km inter­ the name time. He Is one of that some­ esting politics. It is recalled that of what rare class of citizens who is not late the Hastings man has been very only well qualified to discharge certain quiet about primary reform and has tak­ en no hand in tbe fight.

The Banner charges him with olutions. Just whether Mr. Cook has had a bolding six different offices. He is ‘‘one change of heart is not known, butlit Is of th® board of canvassers. ” The board said that he has political ambitions and of superv isors appointed him and no one there are reasons to believe that he has made an alliance with Phil Colgrove, can say that he is not an efficient mem­ also of Hastings, and an anti-reformer. ber.

Further, “Wm. F. Hicks is president of the council, and in Mayor Hirns' absence, will be may­ or.” This is Indeed a serious offence. >er aettlagof 15. Eo.

Is it* so selfish and office hungry as to be jealous of one lone democrat who happens to be a fa­ vorite of his fellow citizens? If, with­ in the Michigan desert of republican­ ism the city of Hastings presents a bright oasis of happy, triumphant de­ mocracy, can not the Banner refrain from disturbing that harmony with its unfeeling wit and Its withering sar­ casm? Does It Imagine that the success with which it introduced discord Into the ranks of Barry county republican­ ism will warrant it in'trying the same game on the democracy of this city? We demand that It honestly answer these heart-searching questions or Iforever hereafter hold its peace andl let Bill Hicks alone. Again'Mr. Hicks is “chairman of the street committee” and also street com­ missioner, “by virtue of the appoint­ ment of Mayor Hams.” This is, in the eye* of the Banner, the moot unkindly cutof alL To be a member of tbe board of canvassers might have been excused; to be an alderman might have been en­ dured; but to be chairman of the street committee and at the same time street commissioner is too. much. Our per­ turbed contemporary goes into connip­ tions over the dread possibilities of the situation, harrowing up its soul with tbe thought of wbat might happen if Street Commissioner Hicks and Aider­ man Hicks should happen to enter into a horrid conspiracy to run the city into inextricable debt. Vfe are onl^ too thankful that the Banner did not sug­ gest by iu base insinuations that the Our state secretary^ Miss Caroline Parsonr, of Kalamazoo sends greetings and urges Barry county to send a good delegation to the twenty-first interna­ tional convention of the society of Christian Endeavor at Denver July 9-13,1903.

IRepresents_ live Gaines, whois In Washington, gave an explanation of tbe situation to your j correspopdent. Mr. Gaines said there was no denying that the southern peo­ ple objected to colored mail carriers be­ cause they were colored, but that the objection rose from fear. In tbe rural districts the heads of the family and all grown males were obliged to go out In­ to the fields to work and leave the wom­ en at home defenseless. Because of the nameless crimes of the negroes they could not but regard with apprehension the prospect of negro mail carriers com­ ing to their homes in their absence, es­ pecially since the policy of the present administration bad stirred up the bit­ terest animosity between the races and Mr. Roosevelt’sattitude had encouraged many negroes to cherish hopes of social equalit^and miscegenation. Mr. Gaines said the southern people were taxing themselves to the utmost-limit to edu­ cate the negro but their work was be­ ing nullified by people who, for partisan reasons, misrepresented the facts while they were utterly ignorant of thetrue conditions, The only hope which Crum can enter­ tain of receiving pay for the time he has Mirved Is through a special act of con­ gress which is regarded as most remote.

Call 167. I MARPLE 8 VESTER With deepest feelings of regret, the bar of Barry county records tbe death of the Hon. James B. Mills, late an honorable and respected member of this bar; Born In Washington county, Nd., Feb, 8th, 1830, and dying at Hastings, Mich., on Friday, April 24, 1903, Ms life covered a period of time filled with stirring events and wonderful progress in both the political and industrial life of the nation. Married in 1859 to Louisa M. Smith, be became the father of five children, two sons and three daughters, all of whom he reared to mandood and womanhood, and all of whom survive him. Admitted to the bar of this county on February 5th, 1883, he exemplified in the practice of his profession, honesty of purpose, fidelity to bis clients' in­ terests, and an uprighteduess of char­ acter, that enabled him to win and re­ tain the respect and esteem of all who knew him. Holding the office of justice of'the pence for many years, ne used his in­ fluence that cases might be compro­ mised and settled, rather than litifated. Ill feeling was assuaged, riends and neighbors continued as such, the peace and good order of his neighborhood increased thereby. Elected judge of probate in 18% and re-elected in 1900, he proved himself a competent, painstaking and honest public official. As a husband, father, citizen and public official, he represented a type of American manhood and z\merican cit­ izenship well worthy of emulation. Therefore be it resolved: That in the death of the Hon. James B. Mills, the Barry County Bar has lost an hon-, est, upright and esteemed member, and the people of this county a most worthy citizen, and a fearless Impartial and upright public servant. Be it further resolved: That the heartfelt sympathy of this bar be ex­ tended to the family of tbe deceased and that a copy of these resolutions be forwarded to the widow of the deceased, and leave of tbe court be bad, that they may be spread upon the journal at length as a memorial to perpetuate his memory. • Thomas Sullivan, Hartley E. Hendrick, Edwin D. Mallory. 4®-*'^* firet Place» let 08 W tbat American college life and work as now carried on, are of themselves a better training for journalism in the technical, sense than they are for any other call­ ing, except teaching. This is in part because the work of journalism is at many pointe so closely related to the work of education; and also because the best college work nowadays is in such close sympathy and touch with the best social, ethical and economic progress of the community at large, such progress being the material with which-journal­ ism most concerns itself. Another reason is that the skillful and correct use of language, whether to state a fact or convey an idea, is of the very essence of good journalism; and our college work more and more recog­ nizes the importance of training all students in the art of direct and lucid expression. In college, one ought to acquire the habit of seeking the truth and liking it for Its own sake, in a disinterested way. One’s logical faculties ought to get good training, in order that fallacious rea­ soning may be easily analyzed and dis­ posed of. Scientific study should have as its great object the training of the powers of exact observation and accur­ ate analysis.- From “Journalism,” by Albert. Shaw, Ph. D., in the June Cos­ mopolitan. THE LARGER HOPE Name of a Sect Organized at Battle Creek Fifteen years ago Charlee I. Clapp of Battle Creek, who preaches quite regu­ larly in /Assyria, was a society young man. AU at once, greatly to the sur­ prise of his young friends, he began to study the bible, became converted, and studied for the ministry, expecting to enter the Methodist church. After years of study of the bible he advanced the doctrine that there was no eternal punishment, but that in time God would save all men. He accepted the orthodox faith with this exception, and began to preach his new doctrine. Ho now has a large following, preaching in 'various school bouses in Calhoun and adjoining counties. He is now erect­ ing a church building near the Grand Trunk shops in Battle £"reek and in the midst of the largest manufacturing district. It is a two-story block with a store in a corner room, the other room to be a commodious lecture ball for the bolding of religious meetings. He has his family residence in the second story. He does pot believe in begging money for religious work, but expect* that the rent of the store room will sup­ port his church work. He is getting a surprisingly large following. He has christened his new faith “The Larger Hope. Opening of June Term of Court.

Th© Lawyers and Their Ladles En­ joy a Feast at Emmanuel Par­ ish Monday Night It is. nut wise for men to neglect the social side of life entirely and to spend tbeir whole time and energies in professional or business pursuits. This is a truism which the lawyers of Barry county found out several years ago and since that discovery they have held an annual banquet. Monday night the sixth function of this kind was held in the parish house of Emmanuel church and when it is added that the gastro­ nomic part of the affair was in charge of the ladies of the parish it is unneces­ sary to state that this feature of the oc­ casion was an unqualified success. Just as the hour set for the ban­ quet approached a very severe electric storm came up, interfering somewhat with the attendance. And yet the rain failed to keep many away, there being a goodly number present in spite of it. Besides the legal gentlemen of this city, the county officials and the editors of the local papers, together with their better halves, there were lawyers present from Middleville, Nashville, Woodland and Lansing. When at the word of Toastmaster Smith the company marched into the dining hall, to the music of the or­ chestra, they found a handsome and well appointed banquet table prepared for them. The table which ran the whole length of the.room, was hand­ somely set and adorned with flowers while numerous candelabra furnished the light which the electric plant failed to do. After the dainty and well served sup­ per had been thoroughly discussed Judge Smith took charge of the oratori­ cal part of the program which, as a matter of course among lawyers, fol­ lowed. At the outset Judge Smith spoke feelingly of the late Judge Mills, after which be read a letter from Philip T. Colgrove, who had been obliged to start for New York that morning on business. He then introduced the Hon. Russell O. Ostrander of Lansing, who responded to the theme, “Legal Educa­ tion and Admission to the Bar.” Mr. Ostrander is a member of the board appointed to examine candidates for admission to the bar and was therefore peculiarly qualified to handle this topic in an interesting nanner, especially from the professional standpoint. He' reviewed the history of legal training and requirements, from the establish­ ment of Temple Bar and Lincoln’s Inn courts in London down to the present time. Coming down to our own country and the present policy in this state Mr. Ostrander said that the more rigid requirements of admission to the bar today were raising the standard of the legal profession. He said that the character of the applicants was looked into as well as the other legal attainments and he favored the train­ ing to be obtained in the best colleges and law schools as being generally bet­ ter than that acquired ip law offices. Aaron Clark of Middleville was the second speaker, his topic being the broad one of “Something.” Mr. Clark is always at home as an after dinner speaker and, as was to be expected, proved equal to his subject and the oc­ casion. In his pleasant manner he dwelt upon the thought that law is su­ preme in every department of life. In the absence of Wm. F. McKnight of Grand Rapids, Thomas Sullivan of this city, always ready to respond to the emergency of the hour, very ac­ ceptably filled up the breach. His themb was “This, That and the Other,” and it afforded the speaker the chance to make a witty and entertaining repl». The Imi toast to be announced was “The Supreme Court of the State,” and thia was moat fittingly aeslfcned to an honored member of that court, Justice Wm. Ij. Carpenter. Judge Carpenter paid a high tribute to his predecessors upon the supreme bench of the state, the men who by tbeir learning and ability and by their clearly expressed and convincing opinions gave to the supreme court of Michigan a very high reputation, the four first justices, Campbell, Cooley, Christianey and In My ria Kelly, MoClure,s has found another writer about children to main* tain the high prestige the magazine baa always held In this field. The youngsters Miss Kelley writes about perform in a certain primary room of a New' York East school, and, naturally, most of them are Jewish. It is a fear* ful and wonderful jargem that they speak, and the author reproduces it with a faculty and reliyh that vouch for its authenticity. “A Little Matter of Real Estate,” is the title of Miss Kelly’s story In the June number, re­ counting the bitter feud between Eva and Sarah Gonorowsky, cousin*, over a Greece. This concluded the formalitlie of the quarrsl of their fathers about a loan. It la the best story of it* kind McClure evening.

It is announced that forty-six Ger­ man agriculturists are coming to this country to study American meth­ ods of farming and stock raising. They propose to stay two months and to travel 10.000 miles over tbe country in pursuance of their studies. They will doubtless see much that will be of in­ terest and profit to them. They will find some-essential differences between the farms of the fatherland and those of this country, particularly in point of acreage and implements. Farms are larger in this country, and machinery can be used with better advantage than in Europe. Taxes are lighter, transportation rates for long distances are probably lower and the business la carried on In a more ex- ■ tensive way. There is nothing Ln Ger , many to compare with tbe great wheat regions and stock farms to be found in this countryIt is gratifying to have our foreign competitors come here and learn for themselves the sources of our superior­ ity. They feel American competition, and they want to see the basis of it Probably some of the Germans will go back home and decry our methods, but that will not hurt our feelings any. The competition, however, will go on. and hundreds of thousands of Germans will continue to abandon the small and worn out farms Ln the fatherland, which few tiljers of the soil can ever hope to own, for the broader and more productive acres in America of which they can by thrift and economy ac­ quire full and complete ownership. The delegation of investigators will be cordially welcomed and given every advantage to see aud learn our meth­ ods. What they may say about us upon their return will be quite immaterlaL The National Association of Manu­ facturers, In session at New Orleans, adopted a resolution recognizing the right of laboring men to organize, but denying their right to take concerted action on the question of wages and other conditions of labor. This wonld appear to be something like the atti­ tude taken by the good woman wbc did not object to her daughter going in to swim and advised her to hang her Clothes on a hickory Limb, bu^nsisted that she most not go near the water. When the New York farmers pause to consider what a slight proportion of their products is to be found in a Haines ■law sandwich, the proposed boycott of the metropolitan saloon keepers upon “up state” products will not be found particularly alarming. A Marlboro (Conn.) man won a prize of 850 by sawing seventeen cords of hard wood in five hours.

POSTOFFICE ROBBERS AGAIN Postoffice robberies have been fash­ ionable lately and the local poetoffice came very near being up-to-date last Saturday morning. The attempts to get into the safe, which contained about 81500 in money and stamps, was frustrat­ ed, as the robbers were frightened away, no one seeming to know by whom or how. The robbers undoubtedly came into the city from the south about 11 o’clock Friday night as some parties going home from an entertainment at the Star school house passed a rig containing three persons and some of them thought the horse looked like one owned by Harry Johnson, who lives at Whiskey Run, seven miles sout h of here. One of Mr. Johnson’s horses and a buggy were stolen, with which the robbers drove in­ to town. After making an attempt co get into the safe at the postoffice, they stole one of Wm. Hitchcock's horses and left Johnson’s horse at Robert RU ven’s place near the southern limits of the city. Bliven is an uncle of Johnson but the robbers probably didn’t know it. Mr. Hitchcock, who delivers express and also carries mail from the C., K. A S. depot, is an early riser. Saturday morning he was out before 4:00 o’clock and discovered the loss of his horse. Sheriff Cortright was notified and im­ mediately he and Deputy Lichty were out looking for the animal and before 5:00 o’clock discovered that the horse had been hitched to a buggy and driven south and Johnson's horse was tied at Bl i ven’s. Not until the postoffice employees went to work was it known by the of­ ficers that an attempt baa been make to rob the office, when it was learned that the w^uld-be robbers had gained admit­ tance through a rear window, and with tools stolen from James Radford’s black­ smith shop had knocked off the handle of the safe and soaped the cracks pre­ paratory to putting in a charge of nitro­ glycerine. Then they were apparently frightened away, as nothing was taken except the broken handle. At about noon Saturday it was learned that Hitchcock's horse had been found in the outskirts of Battle Creek and about midnight Deputy Lichty returned with the animal. Chief Farrington of Battle Creek offered all the assistance possible to our officers and four parties were arrested on suspicion, but on being able to prove that they were in Battle Creek all night, were discharged. We understand that George Edwardte who drove in from Battle Creek says he passed a rig between 1:00 and 2:00 o’clock that he believes was the one the robbers had stolen but he could not give a description of the fellows sufficient for officers to work on. Monday the safe handle, bar of soap and some tools were found in a box in the rear of Archie McCoy’s store. Sunday Trains.

Many new bouses are being built and real estate bu taken on a hopeful and promising conditlon. More than all this, there is a reasonable ohance of securing a new state institution that would be of enor; nious valpe to this city, if it were locat­ ed here. I In view of these facts tbe Herald ■, ’Exceedingly regrets to see an element . of discord Injected into the situation. | There seems to be a spirit of personal / bitterness, even of vengefulnes8, in the L attitude of the gentlemen who own the *7 • factories whose assessments have been raised, that is deplorable. They have :a grievance against tbe board of re­ view, because the assessment on tbeir properties has been raised a few thous/ and dollars beyond what they think it j'■ ought to be. And yet the five men / who make up the board of review have r undoubtedly, acted deliberate^ in : good faith, and conscientiously. They were sworn to do their duty faithfully and according to their best judgment, it is, unjust and preposterous to / 'tbtek that they have not kept their they have erred at all. and ; we ars not prepared say that they ; . have, their error bay been one of judgj. • meat, and we believe, in no wise actu,<«ed by prejudice or spite. To think or to claim otherwise would be unjust and unreasonable. Tbe question therefore resolves itself into a difference of judgment. The owners of tbe wool boot, table and car >. • seal factories placed a certain figure upon their properties which they were r/ . willing to accept. The board of re­ view, acting upon their judgment as : . they .were in duty bound to do. raised H these figures by a comparatively small amount. ;y . If these are the facts as we believe g them to be, is it worth while to enter . Upon a policy of “getting even” with K- < the boarebsand of obstructing tbe '. common welfarXof the city? Will it pay indulge in suthapite work? Will :5_- anybody be tbe gainer by it? On the ■ contrary will not everybody be the ; • loser by such a course? *' Tbe Herald asks these questions, not in criticism so much as to call at­ ’ tention to the shortsightedness of ।y adopting a policy of retaliation. The h*'*': gentlemen who own t|ie properties in question, very likely have it within tbeir power to work serious injury to the interests of this city, but until comspelled to change Its opinion, the Her“'v-'ALD will not believe them capable of ,such a revengeful policy. Mr. Chamberlain’s Proposition. Colonial Secretary Joseph Chamberlain has injected a new issue into Eoglish politics by bls proposal to establish i a preferential tariff system with the colonies of the empire. Not that the idea is entirely new among English , statesmen, but that none of them has | had the temerity or the opportunity to fjmih'ihe principle into prominence. , But Mr. Chamberlain is a man of strenui ous methods and he has announced that he will inaugurate a campaign upon : this issue and stand or fall upon the re­ sult. _ ■’ • Mr. Chamberlain proposes to place a L ^preferential duty upon imports of food products, favoring of course British ^ colonies. He seems to think that such ’.a policy will afford protection to the K colonies and to English producers and • at the same time furnish revenues* for i the national treasury. His proposition S involves a radical departure from the policy which England has followed for a . Century and to which most English *men ascribe the commercial and icial supremacy of their country, y members ■ of the conservative y and of the present ministry will agree with the colonial secretary’s B and it Is likely that this almost Intiooary proposition of his will j tbe union party and result in its ' i R.

Reckless expenditure of the public funds seems to be characteristic of tbe department generally and the revela­ tions thus far made show the necessity for prosecuting the inquiries that have been set on foot until the whole depart­ ment has been purged of scandal and gross abuses, And yet it may not be expected that any cleansing of these augean stables will be thorough and lasting without placing the bureau entirely under civil service rules, eliminating politics from all appointments in the service. As long as the positions in the department are the prey of the politicians, and are meted out for partisan purposes, as long as the Paynes and Machens are permitted to administer the affairs of this important bureau, we can not ex­ pect a lasting reform, or that the inter­ ests of the people will be served 'is they ought to be. We shall hardly see the business of any department of our government conducted on business principles until business principles are made to take the place of the old, ex­ pensive and scandal breeding “spoils system.” ADDITIONAL LOCAL Wm.

Barnes’ wife attributed his death to some medicine given him in a drug 'store last night and Dr. F, C. Warnshuls who was In constant attendance at the bedside of the unconscious man from 7:30 this morning is of the belief that morphine or some other narcotic was absorbed by the stomach. Barnes was employed by one? of the transfer companies as a moving van driver. His wife worked in a down­ town restaurant and they roomed in the Hermitage annex. Barnes ate some canned baked beans last evening soon after his wife returned from ber work, and also ate a lunch which she brought. Less than an hour later he complained of cramps and suffering agony, his wife says he went to the drug store. What medicine was given Barnes hr took In the store and he told his wife upon his return to the room that the clerk had cautioned him not to sleep. All night the wife worked to keep him awake and at 5:00 o’clock this morning he called for his sister. She was sent for and while Mrs. Barries left the building to meet her, Barnes sank into unconsciousness from which he could not be aroused. Patrolman Connor was summoned and be called Dr. Warnshuis and the ambulance., Bernes was taken to St. Mary's a>ccompanied by his wife and sister, where the stomach pump was used. It was found that the poison whatever It was had been totally ab­ sorbed and the physician resorted to hypodermic injections.

The Month of Graduation I ' .By the general custom which obtains ■ in the conduct of our educational systern, June is the month of graduation. All grades of schools, from lhe little •Vcountry school to the great university, [ hold commencement exercises and turn W out the finished product of their courses f ofittdy in June. It is the month when , ; an army of young people bid farewell to school Mfe*and turn their attention 4' from tbe lessons of the text-books to .. the problems of the world school which irtifey are about to enter. I It is this thought undoubtedly that invests graduation with a deep person­ al interest to many thousands of people and makes the month of June each year a time of happy activity and ■^friendly personal concern in the young ■ people who are about to receive tbe ^honors of graduation day. £ '! But aside from the persona) features 1 of lhe graduation season, there is f Another and more far reaching oonsequenco of the custom. It is the one ocH casion of the year which attracts * ' public attention to the subject of edu­ b-. cation. For eleven months of tbe year the public mind is so absorbed in other matters that it has no time nor inclina­ tion for the schools. But tbe ceremo> nies of graduation, tbe themes dis­ cussed, the close personal relations of \ the adult people to the boys and girls i'jHeoeiving the honors of tbe occasion, * all conspire to force an otherwise inl different or evep sordid public mind to *.Mtn to the consideration for a time of the noblest cause and the most vital In.-'jittltution of thestate—the public school. Woe td the day when the public mind and heart shall lose interest in the Aebools. And because the cer^oniesof the ..graduation time revive annually people’s interest in education the X month of June stands out pre-eminent­ ly as a beneficent time in the educa­ tional life of our country. Ar® the People Going to About It? •L iTbs inability of tbe legislature to ♦asa a primary eleetlon bill will no doubt be a disappointment to many people. If ever a legislative body waa ‘tamnd by tbe pledges of it* members aud the declarations of party platforms the present aggregation of law makers . wa* so obligated. Tbe people of Mich­ igan were a unit last tall upon that proposition. Tbe state conventions of both parties endorsed the principle of primary reform and re-1 terated it this tspring. The state grange demanded It, the press advocated it, the prom!-• nent men of all partlea agreed on the need ot this reform, and the meases stock it for granted that we should have -ibedeelred legislation : And yet the representatives of tbe> people hare spent five months in Lau-. gtag dllly dallying over the problem,, ■pnonatlnaaing for a long time tbe ooo-, sideraUcm of any primary bill whatever. ««d finally taking U up in a perfnnct-’ .tory OV and doing the measure to' death by a disagreement between tbe’ two houses.

Will this demonstration of contempt of the pop­ ular will leave the republican machine in Michigan as strong as ever? Or will the people at last open their eyes to the fact that they are being trifled with and made the tool of a ruling class of politicians who care less for their wishes than for the corrupt poli­ tical system which keeps them in power? Time will tell. 111 Wiola and Pigeon Shooting. There is a bill before the Illinois leg­ islature which should interest every humane person and every honorable sportsman in the Prairie State. It 1b entitled ‘‘an act to suppress pigeon shooting and similar sport” and is aimed particularly at tbe use of tame live birds in trap shooting. It ought not to be necessary in Illi­ nois or elsewhere to urge the passage Of such n commendable measure. Ev­ ery legislator should vote for it with­ out a moment's hesitation. There are, however, two Influences operating against such a law. It is naturally in the interest of powder and sporting goods makers to have ns much powder burned and as m4ny guns sold as pos­ sible; it is unfortunately in the Inter­ est of certain so called sportsmen to kill birds for fun because It ministers to their brutal instincts and offers on opportunity for a vf>ry ^heap sort of gambling. Aside from these It 1h hard ly conceivable that anybody could op­ pose tbe enactment of a law prohibit­ ing the ruthless and wholesale slaugh­ ter of birds. There is nothing In the nature of le­ gitimate sport about making targets of live birds, especially at trap shoot­ ing. The bird has not half a chance for Its life. The "sportsman” is ready, his gun cocked and pointed, his Anger on the trigger, his distance carefully marked. The bird, half dhzed. is lib­ erated. It flutters a few yards or feet into the air and Is then blown to pieces or maimed and permitted to suf-’ fer for hours. If not for days. This cruel, demoralizing and inde­ fensible sport has been prohibited by law in Massachusetts. New York and some other states, and Illinois should lose no time in placing itself In the humane column.

Il may be from lack of courage, but do that can not be. It 4tust be the fear of sudden death. But Sunday night after 7:00 o'clock a burglar entered Blakeney & Foster's barber shop by opening the west wjndow, tbe fastening evidently not being caught the night previous. Everything was strewn about upon the floor, and the room was in a dilapidated condition the next morning. The party who entered this shop in the nighttime was not an em­ ployee of any institution where great quantities of money are kept, for it is surmised that he was frightened away when his eyes came in contact with the vast quantity of ore always left in the shop over night—17 coppers.

We sell the paint for two-thirds of the cars and stations and bridges and everything else, that railroad men want to keep good looking and sound, all over the country. A man who wants a gallon or two of paint knows nothing about it; buys whatever is handy, or gets some paint­ er to “make” it. A railroad company asks Its chemist: “which Is the best?” The cheapest thing to preserve or beautify anything with is paint. So the whole world is painted; except, of course, the part of it owned by poor slow folks. And the paint they use is people’s in­ telligence meter: or Ignorance meter: tells how much or how little they know. Lead and oil has had its day. Devoe Ready Paint is the paint, because it wears twice as long. Yours truly, F. W. I5evoe tc Co. P. S. Devoe Paint is sold by Fred L. Heath. For Sate.

For many years money matters were settled on a morelS| this was the only route through the solid basin. On tbe afternoon of a summer's day, August 36, 1836, nearly 67 years ago, there might have been seen a covered wagon containing a stalwart man of 34 years, and five children between the ages of 11 and 2 years, driving through tbe then unbroken wilderness of Barry county, in the territory of Michigan. Accompanying this wagon, was a woman on horseback, carefully guiding her grey saddle-horse over the rough roads of the new county. She had In this way performed nearly the whole of the journey, then having started from Weatherafleld, Genesee county, New York, three weeks before, taking Can­ ada in their route, and expecting to set­ tle in Indiana. This party consisted of my father, William Lewis, and Mary Goodwin, his wife, three daughters and a son. Also an adopted daughter, Flavia Stone. We were at this time about to spend the night with an elder brother, Calvin Lewis, who came to Michigan a few weeks In advance of us, and settled at Yankee Springs, but the result was, that we settled there also. I was a child of four years at the time, so the words of my mother will best describe our com­ ing into Michigan: “After leaving De­ troit, the road was mostly through dense woods, Marshall, Battle Creek and Kalamazoo, being marked by little clusters of houses surrounded by forests. After leaving Kalamazoo, we passed through Gull Prairie, now Richland, am! met- Leonard Slater, located there on the Indian Reservation, as mission­ ary lo the Indians of the Pottawatamie tribe. Leaving this place we plunged into tbe wilderness and journeyed 18 miles farther through the woods wtrfiT-' out seeing a single habitation." Tired and travel-worn, weary and hungry, we halted at nightfall in a lovely valley in the wilderness where a log house was in the process of erection. Living springs of cleat cold water were gush­ ing from a bank, and ou a nearby poplar tree someone had fastened a shingle marked 'Yankee Springs." A welcome was given us by our rela­ tives, and the log cabin of two rooms was shared together. A quilt was hnng over tbe door space, and tbe windows were boarded. A supper was served and we settled down for the night. Dis­ mal tales liave come to me of those first nlghw in tbe forest, that the barking of wolves broke the stillness of ihe hours, and that tbe glittering eye-bulls of tbe panther looked down upon us with no friendly eye. Why we settled there, I do not know. Perhaps it was the pure springs of water that attracted us; perhaps it was to avoid the weariness of further journey­ ing. My father located 1000 acres of land there, and it soon grew to be an attrac­ tive place. We endured in common with all the early settlers the trials and privations of pioneer and frontier life, and lived to see tbe wilderness subdued, and surrounded by all that pertains to a later civilization. Io this thick for­ est, the land entirely unclaimed, we settled. The woods were filled with Indians, and our nearest white neigh­ bor, Calvin G. Hill, was eight miles dis­ tant from us, and from Middleville to Ada, the direct route to Grand Rapids, was a dense forest, an unbroken wilder­ ness, without an inhabitant. But we were not long alone. The fur trader woods from Battle Creek and Kalama^ and the speculator, were abroad in the zoo to Grand Rapids, and until other land, and co fill tbe increasing demands roads were opened up, it made very of the weary traveler, our little cottage lively times at the old house.

Many Are Out of Work, While Tbousands Seek Charity. Kansas City, Mo., June 15.—Tbe relief committee of Kansas City, Kas., has given out the following: “In connection with relief for the flood sufferers in Kansas City. Kas., it is very Important that the people of the United States should understand that there are two Kansas Citys— Kansas City In Missouri, with about 280,000 people, and Kansas City in Kansas, with over 60,000 people, ad­ joining the former city on the west, and separated from it by the state line; that each city has a separate organization for the reftef of its flood sufferers, and that in Kansas City, Kas., an area including 23X‘O people by the state census of March, 1903, has been swept by a rushing flood of from ten to thirty feet in depth, which has swept away over one-third of the houses in this district, has almost ruined another third, and that la the entire district the merchandise, house­ hold goods and clothing have been either washed away or almost totally ruined by a ten days* submersion and a deposit in all buildings of from two to four feet of mud. “With the falling of the water em­ ployment to a large number has been given, and the condition thereby much Improved. There remain, howe/er, many thousands dependent on char­ ity for shelter, food, clothing, and the most meager outfit of cooking utensils and furniture. These cannot be sup­ plied without outside aid, and unless it is furnished to a large amount the most dire suffering and widespread sickness and death must result No more worthy or urgent cause can be presented than that of the flood suf­ ferers of Kansas’City, Kas., and we appeal the generous people of the country to aid In supplying these preulDg needs of our strick*u people. Money and supplies should ,e sent to T. B, Gilbert, mayor of Kansas City, Danger at El Paso. El Paso, Tex., June 15.—The flood condition Is regarded as serious here by even the most conservative son*. The . river continues to rise. «nd the water is striking tbe levee with great force. AH available poHoemen have been placed on duty along the river, and the city engineer and street commissioner have been busy with a large number of workmen engaged in fortifying weak spots in the levee with sand bags. Below the city the river tore through *11 obstruction*, iod en­ ured its old channel which waj aban­ doned when the ent-off wa* built three years ago to strengthen the stream to guard against future overflow.

On general principles it may well be ^ doubted whether frequent tinkering with the fundamental law of tbe state ,1S in the least degree desirable. A conEvWdtution should be broad and general £ Id its provisions, laying down only such J wide principles and restrictions as will guide the several departments of govarnment and keep them within their in­ . tended limitations. Upon this fundumental instrument a superstructure of ’■ law and custom, resulting from experE*, ience and the decisions ot the courts is in the course of time built up. Itisinevitable therefore that much changing E of a constitution will result in confusion .nd the unsettling of established cusL- toms and precedents. L Nevertheless a judicious revision of ?,tbe constitution of 1850 is likely to prove ^•. beneficial to the state. Michigan has |>/'ina<le wonderful strides in population, ^.wealth and Culture since this constituI tlon was adopted. Conditions have so greatly changed since 1850 that certain • '.provisions of our basic law are no longer ' . adequate or applicable. Michigan has I’ ’ , become a state of large cities and pross; perous communities which ought to be I* allowed a much larger degree of self government than the present constituK . lion provides for. Then the matter of compensation to members of the legispQ lature, the regulation of the sessions, the obstructive and useless flfty-day L limit for the introduction of bills, and > various other matters would be fit subjecto for reformation. [ . X .• seems reasonable to believe, tbere' xore, that a conservative, judicious and I. - statesmanlike overhauling of tbe con­ '. aUtution by men of broad mind and spoc. W fitness for such a task would be a good thing for the state, and if such a !; treatment of tbe basic law can be assur' ed, we are inclined to support the prop_J mtlon. If on the other band the work .of revision is to be the signal for radi| ; cal changes and experimentation by s k body of ordinary politicians and vision**7 statesmen, it would be better to let ' tbe present constitution alone, in spite . of its imperfections, on the principle that “it is better to endure the ills we $' ’ have than to fly to others we know not R-4” _________ The Lot of Royalty. g.

The assassination ot the king of Ser& via .nd his consort, and the imminent I danger of a similar fate for the king ot Bulgaria, have no doubt filled every ■t-." court in Europe with alarm and caused k- every monarch from St. Petersburg to -.•Madrid to feel uneasy for bls personal £• •nufel.v. And no doubt there is ground », fcrapprebension. Eve-y anarchlstand E ■ ktag-hating fanatic in Europe will be­ ’ ■- «in to plot anew the death of some B&twned bead. fe; Bnch a slate of affairs is no doubt to Fy be deprecated. Many of the reigning £■-monarchs ot Europe are pep^onally men L -V high character, sincerely devoted to welfare of their people. But they • - represent tbe principle of royalty—a jf principle that is fast becoming intoler K *Ue to the world. As intelligence sod £' education are spreading among the P''aeaaaes of the old world, the proposition St that a few men are born to rule while F Oil tbe rest are bound to obey is begin•; ning to give way to the American doe- apd a new government has been set up and a new king proclaimed. The Affair wm certainly enough and shocking to people everywhere. Tb, _ through the darkness of the night from room to room of the royal palace and then to be ruthlessly shot down, as were the king and queen of Servia, must excite something of compassion for the unhappy rulers. But m the lives and character of this immoral prince and his wicked wife become known and m the rottenness of the Servian governing class Is revealed, there will not be a great deal of regret expressed, especially in our own country over an event that promises to bring abetter government to the peo­ ple of this Slavonian country. Servia has an area of 19,000 square miles and a population about equal to that of Michigan. Its government is a Constitutional monarchy, and it is nomi­ nally an Independent nation. In re­ ality however its autonomy depends upon the protection of Russia and Aus­ tria-Hungary. There Is said to be a disposition on tbe part of many Servi­ ans to convert the government into a republic, but it la safe to say that the great powers which surround the little kingdom will prevent such an outcome of the present uprising. The tragedy in the royal palace will simply transfer a blood stained crown from one king to another and perhaps better one. I a the meantime the great nations of the world will give but a passing thought to this little nation. Clarkson’s Poor Advice. The revelations of dishonest practices in the postoffice department are bring­ ing to light such widespread corruption that the republican leaders are becom­ ing alarmed. General James S. Clark­ son, surveyor of the port of New York, and spoilsman politician of the first rank, is reported to have hurried to Washington the other day to expostu­ late with the administration against any further investigation of the postoffice department. He is represented as de­ claring that if the investigation is not stopped the party will be in danger, in consequence, of course, of the wide­ spread public indignation that will re­ sult from a publication of all the incrim­ inating facts. Such advice, if it has been given to the president, is not the kind which Mr. Roosevelt, or any other president, can afford to follow, if dishonesty exists in one of the departments, if the govern­ ment is being systematically plundered in any of the public bureaus, there can be but one honorable course for the president to pursue. That course is to probe the evil to its core and let no guilty man escape, regardless of who that guilty man may be. And if .Mr. Roosevelt possesses the firmness, the courage and the patriotism for which be is given credit he will not allow the arguments of the machine politicians at Washington to swerve him from his manifest duty. Moreover, there could be no greater mistake, politically, than to try td cover up the evils which everybody knows exist. If the republican administration tries to shield evildoers and criminals it will certainly deserve the defeat which Gen. Clarkson and his ilk are holding up before the president as the sure consequence of his doing his duty. Mr. Scripps’ Experience Senator J. E. Scripps of Detroit pub­ lished in Sunday’s Tribune a very in­ teresting account of his experience in the late unlamented legislature. If any one thinks that that body was made up of serious-minded, disinterest­ ed patriots whose sole purpose was to serve the state of Michigan as well as they possibly could, Mr. Scripps’ state­ ments will dispel the illusion. It is amusing and even pathetic to read how after spending two months last fall in preparing several measures of great importance to bis constituents and in thoroughly informing himself upon the questions that were likely to come be­ fore the legislature, he went to Lan­ sing and was snubbed and turned down on every sid/s; how Senator Doherty and the rest of the peanut politicians that made up the “immortal nineteen” of the last session agreed to kill every measure that Senator Scripps tried to put through; and how Impossible it was to get tbe committee on cities and vil­ lages of which he wm a member, to give any serious, conscientious con­ sideration to measures that Mr. Scripps regarded as of great importance. Fi­ nally the aged senator from the third district tells us he has received from I.” This doctrine will ultimately the state “the customary emoluments > away the old order ot thing*, of tbe office, >511.64—not one cent more there will be no more violent and fkomany source,” while his expense© “iociudiBg the cost of the campaign, railroad fares, board bills and inciden­ upon unhappy and blood stained tala, have reached 11400.05, leaving as the net cost of tbe honor of one term in the Michigan state senate the sum of Th.

Judg­ ing from the undertone of bitterness that runs through the Banner’s reply, our well-intentioned purpose seems to have been a failure. And yet it is hard to see wherein the Banner’s last arti­ cle adds anything to tbe strength of its previous statement, or controverts in any way the Herald’s contention that the difference between the owners of the three factories in dispute and the board of review is simply a question of judgment. We do not understand that the Ban­ ner claims that these properties are assessed too high, but simpiy that the assessing officers, or rather one of them (for it ignores the rest) was actuated by a spirit of hostility towards them. This is a mere theory unsupported by evidence and h is pretty near an in­ sult to the other gentlemen on the board to maintain that one man enutrolled their judgment and compelled them to deliberately do a wrong to these factories. For one we refuse to believe any such aspersion. We are not even convinced that Mr^FIicks was actuated by malice or prejudice against these properties. The Herald does not propose to keep up this controversy and what it. says now it intends shall be its final word upon the subject. It deprecates dissension among the business men of the city. We ought to all work togethfor tbe good of our fair little city and all bear without, murmuring our just share of the burden of administering the city's public affairs. We ought afi to rejoice in the prosperity of our fac­ tories and our business men in general. But their very prosperity adds to their valuation upon the tax roils and in­ creases their proportionate burden of taxation. This is certainly just and we are unable to see why there should be any-strenuous objection to the enforce­ ■» ment of such a just principle. Of course if any property has been assessed i. too high the law affords a remedy. We do not understand that in the case of which tbe Banner complains so bitterly * there was any resort made to this remedy. Then what is there to com­ plain of:' Ab for the statement that tbe * board gf review was actuated by preju­ dice and unfairness this seemed to be simply a case of distorted imagination on the part of our worthy contempor­ ary and does not rise to the dign;ty of any argument at all.

Doh’t drink much water at meals, but take a glassful the first thing in the morning and tbe .last thing at night if you want peach blow cheeks. Don’t drink too much coffee or tea unless you want a complexion like leather in color and texture, Don’t drink sparkling waters and unsweetened lemonade if you want to gain flesh. They act directly on fatty tissue. Don’t ent potatoes, peas, macaroni cream, olive oil, pastry and bonbons if you want to lose flesh, Don't go to bed hungry.

Watterson fails to perceive that the boodlers in Missouri want to get rid of Folk as a democratic candidate for governor by dangling the presidency as a bait. Folk has an unfinished task upon bis hands. He has recently said he intended to push the boodle investi­ gations to the end of his term as cir­ cuit attorney, which occurs at tbe be­ ginning of 1905. It is clear that if the boodlers can insert a presidential bee in Folk’s bat they sidetrack him in Missouri, which is their most fervent wish. As governor of Missouri Folk would be in his element. Ho knows the utter corruption of tho present state machine. Consequently, the ringsters want him to go off on a fool­ ish tangent and gallop after tbe pres-** iden jy.

From the earliest discussion of the __ bill providing for three more justices for tbe supreme court, ths governor de­ clared himself opposed to the .measure and be remaioea so until tbe last mo-' ment. He held that the Increase was unnecessary and in this view be was supported by a part of the state bar. Up to the last hour of the time limit he conferred with politicians and others about tbe state by long distance phone, and after wavering until it became necessary to act one way or the other, the governor took up bis pen, com­ plained that the action was against his better judgment, and signed the bill. It must be admitted that the govern­ or showed a woeful lack of determina­ tion and moral courage. If fie was convinced, as he said, that the bill was a bad one, he should have vetoed it, without regard to the political or per­ sonal influences which might have been brought to bear upon him. But to have emphatically declared against the measure and then finally approve it* is an act of vacillation to which the people of the statb are unaccustomed, even on the part of their chief execu­ tive.—Grand Rapids Press. Can the King Control? ' According to a cablegram .'rom___ London, King Edward has told Balfour, as the head of the British government, that th$ Irish land bill must pass. This is stronger language than is ex­ pected from an English monarch in these days and it will be interesting, if possible- to trace the influence of the royal command upon the outcome of the attempt to enact the measure. The reasons for the interference of the king will be made the stronger should It.prove true that he is tbe real au­ thor of tbe bill and intends standing sponsor for it dntil it becomes a law or is defeated in spite of his efforts His earnestness in the matter is ac­ centuated by the alleged fact that in addition to providing for the sale of lands ft specified in tbe bill he seeks the release of all Irishmen now ■ in Prison for political offenses. He is operating in the latter cause while the fate of the measure is in abeyance and this is one of the strongest evidences of his good faith toward the Irish that could be given under the circum­ stances.—Detroit Free Press.

Hls duties begin an hour be­ fore breakfast, by all rights, inasmuch as it should take him that time to brush up hls blue or black uniform, shave, make ids hands neat and shine his 51m>cs. He is supposed to wear a spot­ less and expansive bosom to hls shirt, clean collar and black or white tie. I do not think I ever saw but two stewtrds who had shirts; all the others used I dickey for the sake of economy. Walting on the passengers at table, the care of tables, the care of the silverware and a certain amount of dishwashing and pantry work make up the steward's dining room duties. The other half is work In the state­ rooms, making the beds, straightening up the rooms and doing the general work of a chambermaid, as well as giv­ ing a certain amount of attendance to the occupants of the rooms. The pay is very poor, and the princi­ pal dependence of the steward is on the tips he receives. They are really the poorest paid class that go to sea In one way, and yet I have known men to make £40 in tips on a six weeks' voy­ age.—Leslie’s Monthly. The Horse In Mythology. The Grecians placed in the sun tho god of their Wisdom and intelligence and gave him a chariot and four fiery horses—the chariot* to symbolize doc­ trine and the horses intelligences. So with their god of the sea. Neptune was drawn in his sea chariot by horses —the. sea to symbolize all scientific knowledge In general, the chariot to symbolize doctrine or science and the horses intelligences. They mytholog­ ically descrilied the birth of the sciences by the flying horse Pegasus, which With its hoofs burst open a fountain out of the hard roCk at the moment of bls rising from earth to heaven, at which fountain were seven virgins who were the seven sciences. The flying horse symbolizes an intel­ ligence directed heavenward; the hard rock represents’ hard matter of fact or sensual knowledge; the fountain spring­ ing therefrom represents pure truth, where the virgin sciences delight' to dwell. That was a peculiar case of suicide— a self guillotining. Tbe average sui­ cide shoots or cuts or swallows poison recklessly, frequently botching the job fearfully. - But this fellow? Listen: After sharpening the edge of a spade he fastened the implement, blade down­ ward, to the end of a carpenter’s bench, which he weighted heavily. He then placed a block of wood under the safne end of the bench in such a manner that it could be easily removed, and so let the bench fall, together with the sharp­ ened blade. When the"* preparations were completed he lay down, placed his neck across a thick piece of wood di­ rectly under the spade, knocked away the support and was infmedlately and completely decapitated. — New York Press. .• ’ * Seaweed a. “There is much that is wonderful to be told about seaweeds,” said a naturalist. “Some of them are giants in size.

Scandals in Washington are multi­ plying as time goes on. The postolflce scandal still holds the palm for extent of corruption but one has developed in the administration of the affairs of the Indian Territory which, were ite loca­ tion as accessible to tbe representatives of the press, would almost equal the postal affair. It appears that for years the Indian agents appointed by the suc­ cessive republican aaministration/have been making false returns as to tbe number of Indians in tbe territory in order that they might profit personally by tbe surplus rations issued. When the Dawes commission undertook to divide the,Indian lands it used these padded rolls as a basis for ite work and now that the allotments have been practically completed 4t is discovered that tbe territory has been divided into more parts than zthere are Indians. How the matter can bo adjusted without great additional work and expense it is impossible to foresee but the president has appointed Francis E. Luepp, a prominent Washington newspaper cor­ respondent to make ?,n investigation of the situation and report to him. A scandal has developed in the treas­ ury department where it has been dis­ covered that an immigration official has been selling the private papers of the department, upwards of 4,000 in num­ ber, to private persons, especially the railroads and steamship companies. The department of agriculture is the scene or still another scandal in connec­ tion With tbe distribution of free seeds in which the secretary of agriculture is shown to have appointed a political favorite to the position of inspector of the work of the seed contractor, and Mr. Wilson’s protege to have grossly neglected the duties for whibh be was appointed, even if he did not share in the profits out of which the government was cheated. An investigation of the bureau of American ethnology is also in progress as the result of tbe defalcation of an employe, a Spanish war veteran Who obtained a place on the strength of his having been a soldier. Speaking of the situation in Wash­ ington os it obtains today, a member or congress said: "It is the old story. When a party remains io power too long there is sure to be wholesale cor­ ruption It is‘not the new man that steals from the government but the old office holder who regards himself safe frbm prosecution because of his politi­ cal influence and who has come to be­ lieve that no change of administration, which would reveal his peculations, is likely to occur. History always re­ peats itself in this.respect and tbe abuses finally becqme so serious that the people are compelled to change the administration if only to turn the ras­ cals out. Take the present situation in the postoffiqe department. Roose­ velt may be sincere in his desire to prosecute those who have actually stolen from the government but oven he Is loath to expose the rascality of republican appointees and he h afraid to get rid of Pavne who is a profession­ al politician and whose every effort is bent to tbe saving of his colleague on the republican national committee, Perry Heath,’ and other republican friends, just as be strained every nerve to save Hanna’s friend, Machen. It has been stated in various quarters that Postmaster General Payne intend­ ed to'resign but this Mr, Payne denies. He has been quite ill but is much better now and was' present at the last cabinet meeting before the president left Washington. Mr. Roosevelt left for Oyster Bay where he will spend the remainder of the summer on Satur­ day. Most of the embassies and lega­ tions are closed and Washington has assumed its usual sumnjer quiet.

There had been some anxious mo’nents for O Saya San before her fate was deelded: then'young Burroughs went his way after the manner of the English driftwood that goes up and down tbe Chjna seas and— Welladay! O Saya San bad sorrowed, but that was yes­ terday, and today was today, and, like a wise little woman, she rocked to and fro on her heels, dad In her best kimo­ no and swaying tho huge fan to and fro. From under her long lashes her bright eyes took stock of the six feet of sinuous flesh and blood that swayed >nd swung in tbe hanjmock as the breeze flung down a wonderful snow of pluk and white from the cherry boughs. Totally oblivious of her scrutiny, Royall lay and looked out over the eternal blue of the bay, the straw’ .-oofs and gilded kiosks of Yeddo town, cursing the gods with mighty curses for tbe sake of things existent and most of all for the'sake of things that were—exactly like a scene on a Japa­ nese fam He had u dim; elusive mem­ ory of a prim old parlor In tbe far Kentucky valley, where had buug a silken bnuuer covered with strange flights of bird and beast and a tea house, with an Impossible geisha strumming upon some spurious form of guitar. It had been brought from somewhere oversea, and his mother bad valued It highly. But there came, a day when he could stand the simper­ ing face no longer, and. with Infinite trouble, he had mounted chair and table until he tore It down and vended tbe silk Into ribbons, and then there was an afterward. Before him lay the jame blue of bay and sky and the imxjssible little tea house and, wore! of all, be could not stamp out this piclure. He turned to shut It from his aching eyes and beheld O Saya San peeping at him around her fan. There would be an afterward to this picture also, and again ho cursed the god of folly and almost cursed the memory of Dorothy’s face framed In the gold of the Kentucky sunset He had not deserved It She bad listened all too readily to the half Ue, more deadly than the blackest truth, that Matthews bad taken care sbe should overhear, and be—he hud been too proud to defend himself. ‘ The beat-beat of the "Doris’’ waltz came back to him. He could almost smell the perfume of her hair and see the lovely, laughing face as be had held It close to>bis heart that night—see It grow cold with scorn as she turned away ou her father’s arm. There bad been a certain poor satisfaction the next day when he bad forced Mat­ thews,J>y tbe virtue of his strong right arm, to write tbe letter to her retract­ ing tbe spoken lie. The savage hud rioted w^hln him as he saw Matthews prostrate with the mark of bls band 1 across the abject face. But even that could not efface the tact that Dorothy had believed him guilty. In his madness he had accepted bls uncle's offer to go out to Yeddo as bls representative and take charge of bls Immense interests there. Shrewd old Wallace Royall hud a notion of the trouble through which tbe lad was passing and hurried him into It before Royall knew what he was about Royall & Co. were a power In a small way where tbe army of coolies went up and down from the great warehouses to the sea aud tbe tea chests went In a constant stream from the gray fields, gathered in tbe gray dawns of orient skies, through the blare and light of Yeddo mart and out oversea,to busy, practical America. .It was a small kingdom, a mighty trust for tbe mnu that was yet a boy, but Jim Royall would have parted with the whole of his prospects, would have gone forth the veriest beggar, could Ue have undone the tnnd moment when he bad returned a certain little blue en­ velope unopened and sent back her let­ ters. He had kept her picture; why, be could not have told; but there it was, cased in the big silver heart that she had given him. He never opened it, but it lay close to his heart, insensate, yet pregnant of a thousand fancies. As the last long finger of tbe sun­ set touched the glided railing O Saya Ban crept timidly out Royall looked at tbe little yellow hand, with Its dyed finger tips, that rested upon It and drew a long breath. He looked at O Saya San, and Ue thought long thoughts as the soft velvet of tbe gray gloaming shut out the gold of the Asian sky and wrapped him into tbe arms of tbe old sweet mother, the witching, wonderful cast One by one. tbe stars woke up and. answering the twinkling lights of Yeddo, threw long jeweled banners down the bay.

The Democratic Leadership. ; Much speculation is being indulged Bk\ in by some editorial writers, especially £ .of the independent press, on the quesE&on of the democratic leadership in '1904.

No doubt, au. •ach discussion will have its advantIt will help to some extent in | creating an interest and perhaps form■f ing public opinion, or at least of rous­ Ing it into action. But aside from such resalts, thementton of these names need not bo refcjpwded m especially significant. It F does not necessarily follow that the dis■g:TMttsion of candidates at the present time >111 lead to the choice of any of ■ these gentlemen by the national cone'Tention next year. The party is at ■Lpreeent in a quiescent and ruminating ■ mood, and what it will do in 1904 is beW yend tbe ken of any prophet as yet to L foretell. One thing however is pretty certain. K.

He was cultivating corn on a sidehill and in turning around the cultivator tipped over onto tbe horses and they rolled down tbe hill into the .fence. Strange to say the animals were not injured, and the only damage to the cultivator was a broken handle. Supervisor George W. Abbey was fifty-six years old Friday and he never surmised that anyone knew of tbe event. Fifteen orjwetity of his friends were onto the fact, however, and as George follows the old saying “Early to bed, early co rise, etc.” they arrived at his home none too early as he was almost ready to retire. The evening was pleasantly spent by all, who hope to attend at least fifty more just such gatherings. * At the examination for teachers’ cer­ tificates held Jude 18tb and 19th there were 44 applicants, 18 for second grade and 28 for third grade certificates.

Friday evening the board of educa­ tion met and filled the remaining va­ cancies on the teaching force. Miss Sharlot Brumm under whom music was successfully inaugurated into our schools but who resigned a year ago on account of her mother’s health, was chosen teacher of music and drawing for the coming year.

He had de­ / cided to stay at a farmhouse on ac­ . count of Its privacy. When he found that this exclusiveness did not Include Miss Dorothy Sibley, he had cause to ' bless the genera! fitness of things. • He was sitting on a fence one after­ V noon blessing the fitness and regarding . a goat named Alexander which dis­ ported Itself in an orchard with all the perky mannerisms of its breed. A pair of lawn clad arms were pres­ ently placed on the fence, and two blue eyes looked laughingly into his. “Are you seeking material for a sto­ ry in Alexander?" asked Dorothy. BF: “Not &t alL I was criticising his name.” And Wilfred leaped to the ground. “I suppose that It was given him by . tome facetious summer boarder.” said Dorothy, regarding Alexander, who pirouetted toward them with a look in his eye that was half vicious, half ?■ humorous. “I think Rip Van Winkle would be more in the way of a summer boarder's “ najoe," dissented Wilfred. “Anyway, I’m glad tbe fence is between us and that goat, for I suspect him of being a % > villain.” .: “How have you been spending the Afternoon?” asked Miss Sibley. *“Beadlng a, story." fore be* noticed that the others were not with him.

Mr. Ives exhibited the unexpected agility of stout people. Iiu ten seconds at the most he was seated among the lower branches of an apple tree, and Alexander was dancing arduud Its trunk. • “Call that beast awayl” yelled Ives. ' “Come, Alexander,” Wilfred said gently. Alexander leered mockingly at the joung man, who turned bls attention to Mr. Ivee. “Str,” he said, “I have done you an injustice, and I regret It, but the hap­ piness of two lives Is too great a pen­ alty to pay for such an offense. First I must make my most humble apolo­ gies for wounding your sensibilities. Then I must tell you that I shall wound them more, for If you do not withdraw your objection to my atten­ tions to your niece I shall at once go to the farmhouse and call al! its occu­ pants to witness your present positldh.” ' At the end of this stilted speech Mr. Ives looked down at the capering Alex­ ander and considered. Wilfred started away. . "Hold on!” cried Ives. "Let me think.” As he thought a dormant sense of humor asserted Itself, and at the end of five minutes his features suggested this feeling. \ “Get that Infernal goat away,’’ he said. Wilfred opened the gate. Alexander charged madly and with such speed that he shot into the road. Wilfred stepped into the orchard, again closing the gate and leaving Alexander vainly butting the fence. Then he and Mr. Ives took the short cut to the farm­ house, and when they approached that building they were arm in arm. allows bow a womafi who Is determtatKljto succeed can accomplish her alm and win a place and a name for herself even though she invades the flekte of labor that are supposed to be talents of man. • -.

Pinney, ‘-I Press Supt. of Barry county. The Improved System. ’Mrs. Archie McCoy has completed by long and diligent study, a new system music study, based on modern educa­ tional principles. The study of psy­ chology has started the public to consiaering the processes of the mind in music education. The plea for the new education in music is that It will make possible, for every one to read and write and under­ stand music as he reads and writes and understands English. £he old methods of education made players, not muriclans. Plsyers of this1 class are unable to form any conception of a melody by looking at the notation but must hear It played on some instrument. This is directly contrary to the principles of music education. ‘’ A musical thought Is as well defined as any other mental concept. One of the most satisfactory results is the mar­ velous way in which the ear is trained. This alone means almost the creation of musical ability and Is of Lhe greatest value in after education. There is no way in which one can make easy the road to knowledge but the* way may be shortened and the journey a pleasant one If knowledge be the object of sincere desire. Mrs. McCoy has devoted three years of hard study to perfect herself in this system, and after demonstrating her ability to teach it, was granted a di­ ploma by Emma A. Thomas, who is founder and director of the best normal training school of music in the country. A great educator has said “Mere mustclanship is no longer snffleient for the teacher.” • Mrs. McCoy has sixty pupils taking the work and is giving the best of sauafaction. A brilliant future is predicted for this system. -J . . ' ’ -n . - ?. . .Jj ADDITIONAL LOCAL. A couple of campers at Wall lake have just been taught the lesson in Justice Bishop’s court that it is liable to be pretty expensive business to help yourself to things that don’t belong to ' you when you are out for a little ran. It seems that these men unlocked the door of the schoolhouse in district No. 11, Hope township’ and took away a broom, a pall and a dipper. The direc­ tor, Chauncey Townsend, made com­ plaint of them before Justice Bishop and they appeared before him this morning, plead guilty to larceny, and paid a fine of 84.00 and 67.00 costa, all for articles that they could have bought for 11.75. The two ball games between Hast­ ings and Grand Rapids on the Fourth resulted In an even split. In the morn­ ing the home team had things all their own way and easily won by a score of 19 to 2. Damoth pitched a fine game and had the visitors completely at his mercy at every stage of the game. The afternoon game wm a better game from score of 7 to 6, it wm not an easy victory . as the score in the seventh inning stood ' i 6 to 2 in favor of Hastings.

Hastings, Mkh., May 15, F>o3. H. H. Sxtprk. Current Opinion. Wm Hereafter Plague Him. The refusal of Gov. Bliss to take any action against Tax Commissioners Sayre ana Freeman will hereafter plague him. The usefulness, of these commissioners has been .greatly im­ paired. Their friendliness for the rail­ roads Is ao pronounced and so apparent to the public that confidence In their usefulness as servants of the people will be greatly shaken, and their acts, how­ ever well meant, will be looked*upon with suspicion. And Gov. Bliss will be more generally regarded as the true friend of the railroads.—^Lansing Jour• • . ' ' ■ > ’ . They Have “Queered” Themselves. Probably there is not another official of the elate govervmon^ the erring tax commissioners exeluded, that does not Aee that for the good of the stalo and the good of the party the governor should have removed Commissioners Sayre and Freeman from office within 24 hours after it was known that they had signed affidavits at the request of the railways. The case was perfectly plain. No investigation was needed. The affidavits spoke for themselves and neither Sayre nor Freeman had a shadow of excuse. The obvious fact is that their opportunity for usefulness in behalf of the state is gone. In ches'ang of the day. they have “queered” theraeelves. They have tainted the entire case of the state against the railways.

Patrol­ man Louis N. Massey last Friday, war delivered up to them. The Governor has ordered out the militia. One white boy has been shot, two negroes and one negress have been killed and much greater loss of life is feared .be­ fore the rioting is quelled, The r.enbers of the mob were shouting death to all negroes. Fire on Policeman The steel bars of the jell windows could not withstand the rain of blows from the battering rams of the mob, and a few minutes before 2 o’clock tbe crowd swarmed in and began to eearch for the negro. Polled Captain Brennecke tried to check their ad­ vance by turning the hose upon them. When he apeared at the window a rain of bullets was sent through. He retreated and no further attempt to keep the mob out was made. They searched through the jail, and being unable to find Brown, dispersed, al­ though 200 of them, heavily armed, began marching through the . streets where negroes are likely to Kia found. Mob Is Dlspercod. The trouble commenced early Sun­ day morning, when a mob of 150 meh stormed the jail endeavoring to secure Lee Brown and lynch him. Sheriff Krantz turned in a riot alarm, and sev­ eral policemen who arrived soon after* succeeded in driving the mob from the side inclosure Into which they had broken by using a telephone p^le as a battering ram against the side gate. By 5 o'clock in the morning the mob dispersed, and the prisoner w^s then spirited out of the city and taxen to Vincennes for safe-keeping. Crowd Arpund J»UAll th rough the forenoon and after­ noon there were toutttfiflngk-df lynch­ ings and war on the n. zroo», and early Sunday night the mob b-vgan forming around the jail. I*v 9 o'clock almost 2,000 persons were bur-oun Ing the jail, calling upon the sheriff to open the dodrs or they would tear them down. As the night progressed the mob became more and more ag­ gressive and Increased in niinbcre. Gov. Durbin was communicated with, and he at once ordered Capt. Bl>'m of the militia to get his company ready to act at a moment’s notice. * Negtoto Gather. The cries of the member of the mob after they had recovered from t •frat stroke of terror caused tbe "''greas of the city to gather in in •'O.f r at places. Soon the fights between them and white men became more and more frequent. Almost every hardware store .In the city had been broken into and p^t a man can be seen on the streets who 1* not armed.

No more can the business of the nation L / prosper under such a system. That the spoils system is really in force at Washington, though under the t’ guise of a civil service law, has been made painfully apparent by the exposuree in the postoffice department—ex­ posures which have scandalized the na­ . Hon.' If merit, efficiency, length of ‘ service had been the basis for appolntmeat and promotion Instead of “pull,” 'we should not have seen tbe great post­ office department honeycombed with . corruption, incompetency and fraud. E;'And if Mr. Roosevelt is a true civil f '■ service reformer as he purports to be, be -will see to it that the civil service commission is purged of its spoilsmen ' masquerading as reformers aud that the ; merit system is honestly enforced. He to his country and to himself, than to bring about an honest enforcement of tbe civil service laws. • A Paramount Consideration. It is to be hoped that the state board of education in locating tbe new nor­ mal, realising the far-re$ohlng conse­ quences of U»e!r action, will be govern­ ed by thehlgheet considerations of pub­ lic policy and the future welfare of the state. Indeed, to infer otherwise would be to attribute to these gentleu men motives entirely unworthy of men * to Whom such a delicate responsibility has been committed. Assuming then that the board are seeking for tbe beet possible location for the school, we respectfully urge this new institution in so environment whleh shall make for the highest moral welfare of the young men and women ! . who are to receive their preparation ' for teaching within its walls. For, ■ after all that may be said in reference to other points in the problem, the | most vital consideration to be dealt is the moral ope. Education is a moral work and the • tn our public schools must have above all things else a strong rnuca our own U.U ma > the most eentraHy, conveniently and pleas­ antly located. Hastings contains a law-abiding, home-loving, moral peo­ ple. It is wall supplied with churches and schools and It supports such refin­ ing and uplifting forces as public li­ braries and reading rooms, lecture courses and musical and literary clubs. Io fact this little city presents all the moral agencies that the large dty can offer, without the counteracting evil influences of the large city. Popo Leo XllL The impending death of Pope Leo XIII. will direct the thoughts of all Christendom to Rome and to the ven­ erable head of the great Roman church. Tho pontiff was certainly a man of remarkable abilities and pos­ sessed those strong characteristics that made him one of the gfeat forces of the age. Ascending the papal throne at a time 'when it represented very little of temppral power, he has during this exceptionally long reign, faithfully and effectively stood for what he, as well as his immediate prede­ cessor, maintained to be the rights of the church in temporal as well as spir­ itual affairs, and although no reconcil­ iation has been effected between the Roman hierarchy and the Italian gov­ ernment, there is no doubt that the papacy stands higher in the estimation of the governments of Christendom today than it did when Leo began his reign. . However men may have differed with his holiness in matters of theology all tbe world will unite in homage to the venerable and holy leader of a great church, who showed himself to be a firm and powerful champion of religion, a broad minded and farseeingTeader of men. a zealous defender of the truth as he saw the truth. Pope Leo was a scholar aud a diplomat of rare abilities, a man who grasped the real signifi­ cance of passing events, and though of course zealous for advancing the church of which he was the visible head, interested in the progress of the world in other directions than theology and spiritual things. He is known to have been deeply interested in the trend ol American affairs and to have feltstrong pereonel Mendsblp for the United States. A knowledge of thts feeling will tend to intensify the regret felt in this country by all denominations of Christians over the death of the venerable head of the Roman Catholic church.

Granted that there may be worse evils ' than war, it must also be affirmed that L every act of tbe world's governments &.'• that makes war less possible is a dis. tinct advance in tbe highest welfare J. of the human race. f That Petition to Russia. I. It is generally believed In dlplo-. malic circles that tbe petitions ot the ■- American people to the Russian govern­ ment asking for the amelioration of the condition of the Russian Jews, which . our own government has undertaken to present, will not bo received. Diplo­ mats seem to regard the move as like­ ly to give offense to Russia, being lo - the nature of aq Interference by one nation with the Internal affairs of a friendly power. In other words Russia will have reason to resent such an act and tell us to “mind our own business.” Theore-lcally and practically, it may be that this view of the matter Is correel. Il may be quite beyond the ordinar, rules of international inter­ course for a government to present a I communication, such as tbe Jewish petition, to a government with which w it la on good terras. And yet Is it not possible for a situation to exist In which precedent may well be ignored? When alate at thia atage of the game. . Among the men who are Mid to be not unwilling to sacrifice themselves upon the gubernatorial altar are J. S. Stearns, Fred M. Warner, William Alden Smith, George Horton and Perry F. Powers. There are also others. Some of these gentlemen are of the bet­ ter class of politicians who would make good governors, as governors go. Others are simply.office seekers with no other qualifications than a big wad of money. The worst of it is that the lat­ ter class stand thb best chance of win­ ning. It is said that T, J. Noin and the “machine” are working forJ. 8. Stearns because he has plenty of mone? to spend. This policy of the republican machine to pick out a candidate for the head of tbe state ticket who has plenty of money and an inclination to spend it is a disgrace to the republican party of Michigan and cannot be too strongly condemned. Money has been lavished like water at every campaign of late years In securing the republican nom­ ination for governor, and the evil has so jprowi! that no man can hope to be nominated unless be is rich or has rich friends to come forward with the boodle. Is it not time that the good people of Michigan woke up to the fact that the highest office within their gift is being sold to the highest bidder and that even now the machine leaders are fix­ ing up things for another boodle cam­ paign? Becoming Moro Charitable, One of tbe facts brought out In con­ nection with tbe illness of the pope is that the world is growing charitable and broader -minded. Expressions of sympathy and high regard for the dy­ ing pontiff are being made on .all sides and by men of all lands and creeds. Men who differ widely from him In the­ ology are as eloquent in their praise of his personal character and high ser­ vices to the world as those of his own communion. • All this must be taken as a happy augury for the future advancement of Christian unity. There was a time when all Europe was embroiled in re­ ligious wars and persecutions, when in­ tolerance and bigotry were the curse of the Christian world. That time has happily passed away forever and men of all creeds are able today to subordi­ nate dogma and Inherited religious tendencies to a common love for all Christian men." Perhaps the day may come when the dream of Christian unity shall be fully realized. Tbe uni­ versal demonstrations of good will and love for Leo XIII seem to point to such a thing as at least possible. "that of the osar allows thousands of its subjects to be maltreated and even pat to death in tbe most shocking manner, h it lot time that a feeling of humanity should outweigh the musty traditions jrt diplomacy? Even if tbe Russian ^-government feels that the petition is a reflection upon itself, it is bird to see how it can take very deep offense at a respectfully worded request that it take measures to prevent a recurrence of atrocities that must appeal toiuown right thinking people as well aa to the . rest of the world. At any rate tbe moral effect of the attempt of tbe Unit­ , ed States government to mediate in be- . • Sharia* tea E*TPt. The earliest reference to shaving of the beard is found In Genesis xll, 14, where we read that Joseph on being summoned before the king shaved himself. There are several references as to shaving In Leviticus, and the practice is alluded to in many other parts of the Bible. However, Egypt is the only country mentioned in the Bible where shaving was practiced. In all other countries at that time such ao act would have teas consid­ ered ignominious. Herodotus menkfoas that the Egyptians allowed their beards to grow when they were in mourning. Bo particular were they aa to shaving at all other time* that to have neglected it was to make one­ self the butt of coarse aod ridiculous Even in this day and age when the Egyptian wants to convey the idea of a man of low condition and sloven­ ly habits he always pictures to you a man with a full beard. This notion Is very ancient, a fact attested by works of art found in burial monu­ ments dating back thousands of years. A traveler writes: “1 have often been •truck by the ease with which people in southern Europe are amused. In Parts 100,000 people go .out to LongChamps for thn Grand Prix race, and comeback.

ROUTE MjlRfHINE DECLINES TO RECEIVE NOTE California GREAT ROCK ISLAND ROUTE 1 c ...nM 7.. is-is ?s ■ Patents Handsome E —4 yfeimLA — Hye-No. 3. MU* . Washington, July 12.—It is semi- ] officially announced that when the .• leaders of Jewish organization In this 1 country call on President Roosevelt at Oyster Bay to present their petition ’ for transmittal to the,czar of Russia, " urging that persecutions along the line of the Klshineff massacre cease, aa agreement will be reached whereby ' tbe petition will be withdrawn. The president ir becoming anxious about • this petition. He plunged Into the Klshineff affair on impulse and against ? the earnest advice of Secretary Hay and almost every other member of the cabinet . Might Involve Country. The president suddenly announced one morning that he would accept the Jewish petition and transmit it to St Petersburg. His advisers have felt since that the step was a serious inistake,, which might Involve thia country in an unpleasant tangle with Russia, which haa always been a friendly This feeling has been increased by statements from the Russian embassy in Washington to the effect that the czar did not view the plan of sending him a Jewish petition with the In- . doraement of the. American govern­ ment and would decline to consider such a representation. . May Request Withdrawal. Newspapers gll over ‘.he United States have taken the mat‘er up and strongly criticized the president for his ill-advised action and Mr. Roose­ velt is now becoming alarmed. It Is said he intends to request th* Jews to withdraw their petition. He will plead in support of this request that the Russian government has practical­ ly declined In advance to receive or consider the petition and that there­ fore It would be useless to send it to the czar. His real reason, however, is said to be that be fears the transmit­ tal of the petition will result In a very unfriendly feeling on the part of Rus­ sia towards this country. The feeling now is none too friend­ ly owing to the agitation of the Klshlneff affair and President Roosevelt does not care to have the relations between tbe two governments become more strained, especially as be realizes that the petition will accompany nothing. Will Appeal to Jew*, If there was reasonable assurance that the petition would be favorably received the president would undoubt­ edly accept and transmit it to St Petersburg even though it is admit­ tedly not the province oif this ”?overnment io stand sponsor for private en­ terprise of that character. Under the circumstances the presi­ dent feels that it is the better part of wisdom to withdraw from tbe Klshineff affair and it is not believed-that the 3ews will object strongly to hit proposal. At least that Is what th< administration hopes. LURES A WOMAN TO HER DEATH Jilted Lover Shoot* Mrs. John Mackey and Trie* to Kill Himself. St. Joseph.

There has beeq too little knowl­ edge of that seemingly remote part of the state to conduce to such friendli­ ness and neighborliness as ought to exist between two parts of one great commonwealth. Lower peninsula peo­ ple have regarded the upper peninsula as a cold and desolate region inhabited by miners and lumbermen, with little of the culture and refinement that ob­ tains in the lower part of the state. As a matter of fact there is more wealth, Intelligence and enterprise above the straits than below them. People of the Superior country, on the other hand, have been so deeply absorbed in thtfir own affairs that they have been rather indifferent to the affairs of lower Mich­ igan. They are for the moat part more closely connected in a business way with Milwaukee, Chicago and Minne­ apolis than with Detroit and Grand Rapids. Of course this lack of cordiality and oo-operation between the two penin­ sulas is primarily due to natural causes. Lakes Michigan and Huron have joined hands at the straits and formed a bar­ rier between northern and southern Michigan, while nothing interferes with tne communication between Chi­ cago. or MilwaBbee. or St. Pau) with Marauette und .ibc mining country. But in spite of these facts there ought to be and can tie a better mutual ac­ quaintance and a more intimate rela­ tion, socially., commercially und politi­ cally, between the two sections of the state than at present exist. It is safe to say that Lhe visit of the editors of the lower peninsula to tbe Soo, Mar­ quette, the “copper country," and Menominee will have a tendency to draw these nearer together. We of the visiting party certainly know more of the free nearted hospitality, the pub­ lic spirt led ness, the ‘push” of the peo­ ple who live in the Superior country than we ever did before, and we hope we impressed upon our hosts that we are glad that they belong to the same glonous old state of Michigan as our­ selves. , To the Duluth,South Shore <k Atlan­ tic railway company the editorial party owe heartiest thanks. A special train of three nice coaches and a baggage car was placed at our service from Wednesday evening when we left the Soo until midnight of Friday when we reached Menominee. Everything was done bv the officials to make our trip through the peninsula comfortable and safe. No attempt at record breaking speed was made, but we made good time and entered every stopping point on schedule time, and not tne slightest accident occurred to mar the success of the trip. The D., S. S. A A. runs the whole length of the northern peninsula and passes through the greatest deer region in th§ country, the Mecca of thousands of sportsmen every fail. It is not an uncommon thing, I was told, for deer to stand upon the track at night fas­ cinated by the headlight of the locomo­ tive until struck by tne pilot. West from the Soo through a low, swampy country, without inhabitants and apparently good for nothing, ex­ cept perhaps hunting, our train sped; on tnreugh Newberry without stop­ ping. At Soo Junction a reception committee from Marquette, consisting of General Passenger Agent Geo. W. Hibbard, Pastmaster J. D. Mangum, J. B. Gordon and W. A. Ross, boarded the train and made the acquaintance of the party. Cards were given us show­ ing the hotel to .which we were assigned and when we reached Marquette at 10:30 the entire crowd of tired travelers found their quarters and retired as soon as possible. Thursday was a perfect day, the sun shining brightly and the air eool and "bracing. It seemed as if the hospitable people of Marquette had made special arrangements with the weather man to give us a perfect day. The forenoon was spent by most of the party in a visit to the prison—a new and model institution'of its kind, admirably con­ ducted by Warden James Russell. The prisonei-s are treated with unusual hu­ maneness and given many privileges in return for good conduct A weekly newspaper is published by some of the prisoners, and a band is maintained. Before the party left, Deputy Warden Catlin called in the prison band, and had them play several selections, clos­ ing with “Michigan, My Mlchigah,” In which the whole party joined. As for ourself, we preferred to accept the invitation of an old friend, Mr. Peter Phelps, (son-in-law of President Fitch of the D., 8. a & A.) for a drive about the pity and the forenoon was residence .13 tcU harbor, where beautiful homes bear .12 to 13 witoess to the wealth of Its citizen., we drove out to Presque Island park.

L ’. quickly ---------- ,------------------Isle, where most of the party took a ride by steam launches or on a neat and trim । little steam bpat around the beadland into Lake Superior. The view from the deck of the steamer looking back upon the city and the green clad nills behind it, the long curve of the, shore, the sparkling waters of the bay, was simply perfect and we greatly enjoyed our wat­ er trip of the afternoon. ’ Marquette is a dty of about 12,000 in­ habitants. and may be regarded as the metropolis of the upper peninsula. It has fine churches, schools and other public buildings, among them a public library, the gift of Hon. Peter white, and is the center of the iron ore region. Near it are the hustling iron mining towns of Negaunee and Ishpeming. Back to the hotel for an early dinner and then to the train which awaits to take us our evening ride of ninety-five miles into the copper country. At sixthirty Conductor Vaughan gives the starting signal and we pul’, out of beauti­ ful Marquette, carrying with us pleas­ ant memories of its hospitable people. Westward on the main line through the hustling towns of Negaunee, Ishpeming and Champion to Neatoria; then straight north on the Houghton branch fortynine miles on the copper arm that stretches out Into the lake, known as the Keweenaw peninsula, to Houghton, where we arrive about J1:30 p. m. and are assigned quarters in one of the best hotels in northern Michigan, the Doug­ las house. After an elegant breakfast Friday morning in whicn the ’•plunked white­ fish” for which this house is famous were served and beautiful carnations presented to every guest, we started out on a most interesting trip to the copper mine region of Calumet. We were ta­ ken bv train across the river, where the thriving town of Hancock is situated and then a ride of forty minutes to Lake Linden -a region abounding in stamp mills und smelting furnaces. Here are located the great stamp mills of the Calumet & Hecla company where the copper ore Is crushed into a coarse pow­ der, by machinery of tremendous pow­ er, then passed through a succession of washings by means of which the copper is separated from the dross, much in the same way, I suppose, as gold and silver ore is treated. From the stamp mills the crude copper is taken after it has been dried—for it is full of water from the washings It has received, like coarse, red grave.—to the smelting works, where it is melted and cast into ingots or other forms ready for shipment. These stamp mills and smelting works are situated several miles from the mines, upon the shores of Torch lake. The waters of this lake are tinged a dark red near the mills, resulting from the process of washing the copper ore. The largest pumping machine in the world takes sixty millions of gallions of water per day from the lake into the big stamp mill from whence, after it has served its purpose, it is lifted by enor­ mous wheels, built with buckets on their rims which dip up the w’ater, to flumes which convey it back again into the lake. One of these wheels, 54 feet in diameter, handles 21,000,000 gallons of water'and 2.000 tons of sand per day. Another is still larger, having a diame­ ter 69 feet. A boiler capacity of 14,000 horse power is required to run this plant. As we left the smelting works we were each presented with a little ingot of pure copper as a souvenir of the visit. Having seen how the ore is reduced from its crude state Into marketable form as Ingots of pure metal, we were then taken to the mines where an army of men are engaged in digging the ore from the bowels of the earth. Up a heavy grade for a few miles our train puffed its way, until it came to Calumet, the location of the greatest copper mines in the world. Here are the Calumet and Hecla, the Tamarack, and the Osceola mines, surrounded by a population of about forty thousand peo­ ple. Calumet is made up of three big villages under different local govern­ ments. but really forming one consider­ able city, Our train stopped at Osceola and we walked up through a long street formed of shaft nooses (the entrances to the different mines) and powerhouses. We tramped for a long distance through the Calumet and Hecla property alone, look­ ing into ita numerous power houses with their splendid machinery that hauls up the three-ton cages of ore from thou­ sands of feet below, pumps water out of the mines and forces air into them. Fi­ nally >e came to the upper end of the long street where is the largest power house of $11, containing a 7;000 horse power engine, and where the deepest shaft of the group is located, extending 5,800 -feet downward into the earth. After seeing all this stupendous ma­ chinery and wonderful equipment, it is easy to understand how Houghton county, is estimated on the tax rolls of the state second only to Wayne. Returning to Houghton, tired and warm, for the day was the warmest we had experienced on our trip, we were refreshed with a good lunch at the Douglas. Ae Editor Knbx of the Soo, who had done so much for our comfort while in his town, was to leave us and return home, he was presented, at the close of the lunch, with a handsome lit­ tle memento in the shape of a pair of cuff buttons, as a token of how the edi­ tors felt towards him. The presenta­ tion was made by Perry Powers and our victim fittingly acknowledged the gift.

Machine work and adds make short work of fine clothes. Shirts, colJars* and cuffs should be done up with­ out gloss. Insist on the domestic fluish. Have your poke and wing collars ironed flat not curled. All clothing should be carefully hung up, and if you will study your closet and use the modern appliances, which ye easily procured, you can keep a great deal of clothing in good condi­ tion in a very small space. Tbe cheap twisted wire coat racks are- good enough. On these put the -waistcoat and then over the waistcoat put the coat There are also patent trousers hangers w hich keep the trousers press­ ed In shape, but it is much easier to fold your trousers properly and lay them in the bottom of your closet or In a long drawer. A piece of paper should be put be­ tween each pair of trousers, and it will not hurt them if they have to be folded once. In light weight kuitings, such as homespuns and flannels, It is much better to lay tbe trousers out flat in a drawer than to hang them up. ■ All clothing should be carefully brushed and kept as free from dust as possible. Beat three eggs, add three table­ spoonfuls of orange juice and two tea­ spoonfuls of powdered sugar, pour into a buttered frying pan, cook slowly un­ til a crust is formed, fold In half, turn the omelet on a hot platter, sprinkle thickly with powdered sugar, heat a poker till red hot, score the sugar, serve hot Hon to Cure Colds. Here are five cutes for a cold, says Household: Flrat, bathe the feet in hot water and drink a pint of hot lemon­ ade; then sponge with salt water and remain ‘n a warm room. Second, bathe tbe face in very hot wa^er every five minutes for an hour. Third, snuff up the nostrils hot salt water every three hours. Fourth, inhale ammonia or menthol. Fifth, take four hobrs’ ex­ ercise in the open air. A ten grain dose of quinine will usually break up a cold in the beginning^ Anything that will set the blood actively In cir­ culation will do it; but, better than all, if your cold Is inveterate or serious, consult your family doctor, and at once. Cover tbe tomatoes with boiling wa­ ter for half a minute and then put them in cold water until they become per­ fectly cold. When this has been done tbe skin will then come off quite easily and leave the tomato In an unbroken condition and quite 6rm.

Cut board or pasteboard the shape of your form, cover with cloth, tack cloth over board or sew to pasteboard, and yon will have a very good dummy. A good plan when peeling onions Is to put them into a bowl and pour very hot otf boiling water over them. This not only enables them to peel much quicker, but does not affect the eyes. People who have Jewels should re­ member that if turquoises are wetted they are apt to lose color. Pearls should be exposed to light and air as inueb as possible, but not to damp, says Home Notes. Opals must never be exposed to great heat or they may crack and fall from their .setting. Don't forget. this when near the fire if yod happen to wear an opal ring.

These four veterans are Major-Generals A. R. Chaffee, Jo­ seph Wheeler, W. R. Shafter and John C. Bates. Besides these well known men there were several hundreds of lesser officers, whose services in the Spanish and civil wars has been no less gallant, and finally over 1,000 regular soldiers of the United States army. The feature of the first day of the reunion was the parade, which came as near starting on the minuts as any parade that ever got under way in Detroit One thousand United States soldiers spent the night in camp at Woodward and Monterey avenues. Fully 500 more arrived In the morning, bringing the population of the camp np to 1,500. The sight is highly Instruc­ tive, and something in the nature of a revelation to the people of Michigan, accustomed to the luxuries of the state encampments. Th« Live Wire Killed Him. Earl C.

Dear Sir: There was a time when it paid a painter to paint lead and oil, and flght shy of anything else. That was wnen the market was full of ,poor paints, and zinc was unknown. Now zinc has come in. lead and oil must give way—it Is tooshort lived. There are two ways to use zinc; you can mix it with lead in a tub, or buy Devoe Ready Paint, which is ground by machinery If you mix your own lead and zinc, you gain something: if you buy Devoe you gain more, because machinery does netter work than hand mixing. Experience is worth something. We’ve had 146 years of-it. Yours truly, F. W. Devoe & Co. P. S. Fred L. Heath sells Devoe Paint. LOT OF THOSE & Uases FOR 25c. and 50c. AT Michigan Centra! Excursions.

Resolutions Committee Very Remarkable Cure of Diarrhoea. “About six years ago for the first time in my life I bad a sudden and se­ vere attack of diarrhoea/’says Mrs. Alice Miller of Morgan,Texas. “I got temporary relief, out it came back again and again, and for six long years I nave suffered more misery and agony than I can tell. It was worse than death. My husband spent hundreds of dollars for physicians’ prescriptions and treatment without avail. Finally we moved to Bosque county, our pres­ ent home, and one day I happened to see an advertisement of Chamberlain's Colic, Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy with a testimonial of a man who bad been cured by it. The case was so sim­ ilar to my own that I concluded to try the remedy. The result was wonder­ ful I could hardly realize that I was well again, or believe it could be so after having suffered so long, but that one bottle of medicine, costing but a few cents, cured me.” For sale by Dawson Bros., druggists.

A Doubtful Experiment. Tbe project of shelving Governor Cummins of Iowa in the vice-presidency is not lacking in political smartness. Gov. Cummins has been a troublesome man In his party, and there is no posi­ tion where a man is likely to make less trouble for bis party than in the vice­ presidency of the United States—al­ ways provided be can be depended upon to stay there. The latter has become an important consideration in the case. Mr. Roosevelt was as harmless as a dove to ali the purposes of politicians until the assassin laid President McKinley low. Since then be has been the cen­ ter of concern for them throughout the nation He has not proved to be any­ thing like the independent man In tbe presidency thet was feared, buttbere is no disposition, we think, to try an ex­ periment upon a more pronounced in­ dependent such as Governor Cummins is likely to prove to be.—Boston Herald. Only Political Claptrap. In view of this, it must fairly be ad­ mitted that the Iowa Idea means as much as it ever meant, but also that it never meant anything more than a form of words to catch votes, for the re­ publican party of Iowa accepted both the McKinley law and the Dingley law, and they both “afforded a shelter to monopoly," and still continued TO do so. If anybody from Iowa should advocate anv real reduction in the tariff in a re­ publican congress he would simply be voted down, if the question were e'er allowed income to a vote. But there is nothing In tbe declaration promising any reduction of the tariff, and there is no reason for supposing that the Iowa Idea has ever been more than political claptrap. -Jackson Patriot Beyond Reason.

The attention of (Jovernor Bliss is re­ spectfully called to the above section In behalf of Tax Commissioners Freeman and Sayre and he is publicly asked to explain’the incredible chastisement be meted out to those two officials. It is true that they betrayed the state's trust by giving aid and comfort to the rail­ roads and equally true that they vio­ lated Lheir oaths of office, and that Dearly every republican paper in the state, as well as tbe attorney general and auditor general, has demanded their removal from office, but no one has advocated anything more harsh. To be actually reprimanded, and by Gov­ ernor Bliss, is beyond all reason. It is as bad as being slapped upon the wrist. —Grand Rapids Press. The Pope and Temporal Power. The real rights of the papacy in the matter of a restitution of temporal power constitute a matter for the con­ sideration of those who feel themselves aggrieved by the present position of affairs. But looking upon the matter from a disinterested point of view and in the light of results accomplished, tbe out­ side world is likely to agree that tbe visible head of the church is sure to wield greater power for good acd to arouse the greater enthusiastic respect and admiration of nations if his reign shall be like that of Pope Leo XIII.— Grand Rapids Post.

Far sole by Dawson Bro*., drugghte. at W H Goodyear's drug store cruising about oo a government reve­ nue cutter txJt so reatricted are the powers of acting PoMmester General Wynne that Mr. Payne left the signed discharge of Charles Hedges when he went away so that if the result of Four­ th Assistant Postmaster General Bris­ tow’s investigation proved dishonesty on Hedge’s part he could be gotten rid of without awaiting Mr. Payne’s re­ turn. Charles Hedges, superintendent of city delivery, has been summarily dis­ missed for falsifying his pay account. While the charges against Hedges are ample to warrant bis dismissal it is noteworthy that an old case, over three years old, was dug up and made the ground for his dismissal when there were far more serious grounds of re­ cent occurrence on whion his discharge might hare been based. The reason for going back so far and taking up a comparatively insignificant charge is that Hedge’s subsequent irregularities involved H. H. Rand, tbe confidential clerk of the postmaster general, whose pecadllloes it was not desired to reveal. Nevertheless, Mr. Bristow has now taken up the case of Rand and is in­ vestigating the numerous charges against him. Mr. Bristow's position in the matter is a very delicate one and there is some doubt as to whether he will have the courage to make a report recommending the dismissal of the postmaster general’s pet employee. George W. Beavers has, since my last letter, been indicted for accepting com­ missions from the Brandt-Dent Auto matlc Cashier Company but has not yet been arrested. It has long been be­ lieved by the postal officials that Beavers was guilty ef serious delin­ quencies although his tracks were so cleverly covered as to make their proof in court very difficult. Several more indictments by tbe grand jury of the District of Columbia are anticipated within a few days and some new indict­ ments have been returned by the Brooklyn grand jury although it is not positively known against whom they were rendered. President Roosevelt has found him­ self in an extremely delicate position in his relations with organized labor. Public Printer Palmer recently dis­ charged William Mi'.ler, an assistant foreman of the book binding depart­ ment. because he had been expelled by the union. Miller appealed toitbe pres­ ident and to the civil service commis­ sion with tbe result that the latter found his dismissal was unlawful and tbe president ordered his reinstate­ ment, Tbe union promptly held a meeting at which It was determined to file with the president charges against Miller, and to declare that the book­ binders could not work with a non­ union man, but would be compelled to go on strike if Miller resumed his duties. Miller is expected to return to work today and the outcome is awaited with Interest. Tbe local union of bookbinders has a peculiar rule where­ by tbe amount of work which each man is allowed to perform per day is limited. Milier insisted that the men perform more work aud so incurred tbe dis­ pleasure of the union. Mr. Roosevelt has issued a declaration that In the de­ partments of the government there shall be no discrimination between union and non-union labor. In other words, tbe union of tbe states is still su­ preme. The chargee of the union against Miller the president has refus­ ed to consider, shilling all further re­ sponsibility on Public Printer Palmer. A report’ comes from Oyster Bay to the effect that Speaker-to be Cannon, after a conference with the president, agreed to withdraw his opposition to the consideration of all financial legis­ lation at the next session of congress. There is some scepticism regarding this report however. Persons who know Mr. Cannon well declare that he would never have receded from his po­ sition without some very valuable promises from the president. Of course if Mr. Roosevelt was ready to place a considerable amount of patron­ age at the disposal of the prospective speaker he could obtain from the latter a promise to do or not to do anyt hing at all. On the other band, it is pointed out that a promite from the speak­ er to withhold opposition means noth­ ing because tbe speaker does not have to oppose legislation. His mere neg­ lect means its defeat. Mr. Roosevelt’s sudden interest in financial legislation Is taken to indicate bis desire to regain popularity with Wall street and it is interesting to note that his interest and advocacy of such legislation dates entirely from a lone conference at the white house participated in by the pres­ ident, Senator Hanna and G. W. Per­ kins, a partner of J. P. Morgan «5c Co. Tbe news comes from Indiana that the republicans of that state are anxious to have Senator Beveridge made vice-president so as to make room for Governor Durbin whom they wish to send to the senate in place of tbe “boy orator” of whom his col­ leagues have grown very weary and whose usefulness has, therefore, vir­ tually ended. Of course Beveridge will stenuonsly oppose the movement to nominate him for second place but his wishes may not be consulted. Licensed to Wed. Gilbert J.

Tbe Herald wishes to call especial attention to the “mothers' rally,” u>be held in connection with the teachers’ institute next Thursday afternoon, un­ der the conduct of Miss Marsh of De­ troit. Miss Marsh is an enthusiastic believer in the theory that the boys and girls should be given something to do at home, so as to keep them off the streets nights. It is the purpose of the mothers’ rally to call tbe attention of parents to some of the things which can be done to interest and employ tbe boys and girls so as to keep them at home. She and her sister, Miss Harriet Marsh, principal of the Hancock school Detroit, have accomplished much in this philanthropic direction in thier own neighborhood. Undoubtedly the talk next Thursday afternoon at the high school building will be very suggestive and helpful.. It is a subject that should appeal strongly to the hearts of parents and we hope Miss Marsh’s talk will be well attended. Reed’s Lake, Kent Co., Mich. Sept. 22. 1802. John W.

SECRETARY By Katherine M'DooaM Copyright, 1MB, by T. C. McClure The secretary sat in bls office and fumed at the heat He was born in a Hoosier log cabin and had attended a college of the northwest He had gone to housekeeping to a little old mossy cottage for which he found it difficult at times to pay $8 a month rental. Yet at fifty he sat In that noble room whose Jong window’s let in the breeze from the Potomac and framed a view In­ comparable for the mingling of natural and artificial beauty—sat and fumed at the heat Williams, the messenger, entered. He was like most negroes, a fqrt of human barometer, and he never failed to suit his bearing to his mas­ ter’s humor. On this occasion he was obsequious, patient but bored. “That woman's still theah, boss,” be said. "Didn't I tell you to get rid of her?" "Yassah; I been tryin’. but she’s a stayer. Fust time I done like you say— I told her ‘Mr. Bec’tary’s engaged.’ ‘Tell him I’ll wait until he is at liberty,' she say, like she de lady of the lan’ herself. Next time I say, 'Beg yo’ pahdon, madam, for not tellln’ yo' sooner, but Mr. Sec'tary he's out’ and she look up and «ay, ‘Tell him I'll wait untli he comes In.’ Yassah. she say them iden­ tical words.” “What kind of looking woman is she, William—young and saucy?" “No; she gettln’ long t’wa’ds middle life, sab, and she mighty shabby. Still. I ain’t say but she is got a quality eye, and she do ho*’ her head up mightily." "Oh, well,’’ said the secretary, with a sigh of resignation, "I'll see her and The woman William ushered in was shabby. Not only were ber clothes worn and rusty, but they had never been either fine or tasteful. Your lady i in temporary straits always has some bit of faded elegance to prove that she has seen better days. This woman was clearly the habitual patron of bargain counters when she bought at all. Still, us William had said, she carried her head high—a noble head, with bold, clear lines and a mess of soft, well kept hair. The secretary arose, and they faced each other for one silent moment, she surveying him with a calm and friendly air. he dazed by the glimmering apparition of a younger and brighter presence which came between them. , "Can this be Laura Camden?” be asked. Her eyes filled at all his tone implied. For an instant her bearing changed—she lost her courage—then she threw up her head, with a defiant laugh. “This is all that is left of her. And is this Tom Lloyd?" She swept the room with a calculating glance. It was as If she estimated the cost of the massive table and rich chairs. Instantly she turned her eyes back upon the secre­ tary as If to measure him. He flushed and rallied. "Yes; this Is Tom Lloyd, the fellow you wouldn’t have, you know.” "Well!” she laughed Impenitently. then sank Into the chair nearest her and ran a furtive, appreciative finger over the tapestry covering. "You married Tucker Barton?” he asked. "Oh, yes! And he turned out as every one predicted. I look the character, don’t I—a drunkard’s widow who has neither hope nor pride left?" Her voice rang dear—no tremor of self pity, no note of shame or appeal. “By Jove," tbe secretary said to him­ self, “this Is Laura, and she’s got the old spirit In her still!” “Can I do anything for you?" he asked. “Why, yes, if you will. Of course I didn’t come merely to call—nor to re­ call. I want a place to one of the de­ partments.” “What kind of a place?” “I’m not particular,” she said coolly. “You know very well I have neither talent nor training. You will have to treat me as if I were a political hench­ man and find me something which will require neither. I could keep accounts, but I think I should like to be to the library. There is a ladles’ room, you know, as well as women attendants." “But that is such a menial place.” She spread out her hands, brown and knotted and calloused. He drew back in a sort of shame and would have hid­ den his own had he dared. They were too white and soft and prosperous to Be to full sight on the table before her. “The wages are small—not more than $60 or $75 a month.” “Not more!” She looked at him with glittering eyes. Her voice trembled now and seemed to express want and de­ spair and resentment together. “Tom Lloyd! Sixty dollars a month—every month? That would be riches to me!” He shrank back to the chair. “Lau­ ra," be said, “why have you never come before? You live to Washington, and you might have come.

When you have done this tie the loose ends into a smaller loop, which need not be larger than sufficient to admit the point of a pencil. Now place the larger loop over the two pins and. putting the point of your pencil through the smaller loop, stretch tbe string as far as It will go and circle all around the pirx You will find that in moving from one pin to the other the string forms an ever varying triangle and that the figure described in passing all around tbe pins is as per­ fect an oval as the most delicate instru­ ment can produce. ttons about the a hat," said a fashionable hatter. “In fact, they are so whimsical about it that we make tbe bats without a ven­ tilator and try to ault tbe wishes of the customer after be has handed his money to the salesman. Many custom­ ers will not have a hat ventilated at all. Well, they min a great deal of comfort and take long chances for baldness in old age. Tbe English style, and the only one that some buyers will adopt, is a ring of perforated holes in the crown of tbe hat In my opinion it is just as well to have no ventilator at all aa to put it there. The best way is to have two holes, one on each side of the bat, just above the band. Then you get good circulation all the time. There are ways of punching the holes artistically so that they do not detract from the appearance of the hat But you would be surprised at the number of men who will not have them, some because it is not fashionable and oth­ ers because they think the hat will not wear so well.’’—New York Times. A Funoui PuddlM*. There Is no other pudding on earth to which so much honor Is paid as the huge beefsteak pudding served up daily at the most famous tavern in London. Ye Olde Cheshire Cheese, in Fleet street. This pudding has been served up every day without break for nearly 200 years. Garrick, Goldsmith and Dr. Johnson used to enjoy it. Every great writer In England makes a point of eating It today. It is inseparably associated with English literature. Every evening after the pudding Is cooked there Is a solemn procession. The proprietor of the tavern, bearing the pudding on a big dish, goes first, followed by the cooks, the waiters and the entire staff. They bear the pud­ ding ail around the tavern, the cus­ tomers doing homage to it Then and not till then it may be cut up and eaten. Why is gold so rare? Simply because it is heavy. There are only two metals that are heavier—namely, platinum and iridium. Remember that at the begin­ ning the earth was a body of gas. By gradual condensation it became liquid, while now the whole of its mass save only an outer crust much thinner in prdportlon to the whole bulk than is the shell of an egg would be a fluid but for the fact that it is held together by tre­ mendous pressure. Naturally in the course of its formation about a center of attraction the weightier particles composing tbe globe gathered about that center. Accordingly we find that the earth as a whole weighs five times as much as water, while the rocks forming tbe crust are only about two and a half times as heavy as water.

Inter- in the last few years 8lble to rear a greater number of suit­ abie market chickens than can be sold with profit Last year there were not sufficient chickens sold in Canada to supply the home markets. As a result of the shortage of chickens the trade with Great Britain w». IcMcned. Thia is nnfortnnuM unfortunate nn on anmnnt account nf of thn the arrest great demand for Canadian chickens in Great Britain and the good prices that are paid. There are also numerous calls for Canadian chickens from Cape Col•yy, Australia and Nqw York. The chief of the poultry division, Mr. F. C. Hare, states that numerous let­ ters have been received from produce merchants, poulterers and commission merchants who desire to learn in what localities chickens can be bought in great numbers and at reasonable prices. From several Canadian cities, and espe­ cially from Montreal, produce firms have asked to be Informed where mar­ ket , chickens suitable for shipping to Great Britain could be obtained in the greatest numbers. British poulterers and commission merchants have re­ peatedly asked for the san^e informa­ tion. The problem of supplying this won­ derfully increased demand for chick­ ens can be solved by the farmers alone. Instead of the farmer rearing fifty or a hundred chickens that receive little at­ tention or feed he should rear .from 200 to 1,000 chickens annually. These should be of a utility type, such as can be found in the popular breeds Plym­ outh Rocks and Wyandottes. The chickens should be hatched and reared by incubators and brooders, and when ready for market the cockerels should be placed in fattening crates and fat­ tened. The equipment required to do this work is not an expensive one; $200 to $250 to the cost of Incubators, brood­ ers, houses and fattening crates for fin­ ishing 1,000 chickens. It Is as necessa­ ry for realizing the greatest profits from the poultry business as thrashing and mowing* machinery is for general farming. The work connected with fin­ ishing 1,000 chickens with the proper appliances to no more than is necessa­ ry for rearing 200 chickens by the nat­ ural means. Poultry farming to a busi­ ness that requires to be developed in the same manner as the butter, cheese and fruit branches. A substantial profit can be made from the poultry business when it is carried on as an adjunct to farming and with the same careful at­ tention and financing. The Dominion department of agricul­ ture is endeavoring to increase the poultry trade of Canada, to encourage the growing of the greatest number of high class chickens and to assist in the marketing of them. urlu luvtv Umu* Uua lot JuUt own use. Now add to this the amount of droppings in litter, which should bo saved, and we have at least 5 cents more, or 80 cento per hen each year. Allowing that it costs $1 to keep a hen a year, our hen has paid us near­ ly one-third of her keep in tbe be'xt fertiliser on earth. What other live stock on the farm will do this? Now aa our hen has paid us 30 cento in fertilizer and it costs us JI to keep I ber, we must get 70 cents from her bej fore we make any money. Let us flgare eggs at 20 cento per dozen, 1 -which - -­ Is a fair average, and we must get three and a half dozen of eggs from each hen before we begin to realize a profit As we are figuring on a basis of eggs, let us say that our hen is a Leghorn. The average Leghorn will lay twelve dozen eggs a year, and after deducting tbe three and a half dozen we have left eight and a half dozen eggs at 20 cents per dozen, or $1.70 as net profit. But wait a minute. Re­ member our hen is a thoroughbred Leghorn (we would keep nothing but thoroughbred birds), so we may sell a dozen of her eggs at $2 for hatching, thus Increasing our profit $1-80, mak­ ing it $3.50, or she might hatch us a brood of ten chicks worth at least $2 and give us tbe same result I know that under ordinary circum­ stances it does not cost a dollar to keep a Leghorn hen a year, and I know that If one Is careful In selecting his breed­ ing stock be can build up a strain of Leghorns that will lay fourteen or fif­ teen doztft eggs a year Instead of twelve and that by catering to a fancy trade he can average 25 or 30 cents per dozen Instead of 20 cents, but I only wished to take a fair average to prove that “biddy" Is a money maker when properly cared for and given due credit for what she produces.—8. E. Smith In Reliable Poultry Journal. Have you silvery white hair of which you are justly proud? The silvery or snowy head Is unusual and should be valued at its proper worth.

The blond la apt to have tresses of half a dozen different shades once the silver threads appear among the gold. Bleaches are powerless to hurry the whitening process.

After Looking Over the Ground and Careful Consideration He Has . Decided to Stay in Hostings. It is not every day that an appoint­ ment to a position on the federal bench, carrying with it a handsome salary is tendered by the president of the Unit­ ed States to a lawver, however able he may be in his profession, nor can it be said that when such an honor is offered it is usually declined. But Judge Clement Smith of this city has met with this experience. As is well known Judge Smith was named by the president for the vacant position on the federal bench of the territory of New Mexico several month* ago, and he has given the matter care­ ful consideration and investigation be­ fore deciding whether to accept or not. Two weeks ago, accompanied by Mrs. Smith, he went to New Mexico and went over the territory included with­ in the jurisdiction of the fifth district to which he bad been appointed, re­ turning home Monday afternoon. “Everywhere” the judge said to a Her­ ald representative, “we were received most cordially and were most hand­ somely entertained.” But in spite of the flattering offer which, meant a salary of $4500, the judge has decided since returning home, to decline tbe appointment and remain in Hastings, He has been in­ fluenced largely in coming to this de­ cision as he informa tbe Herald, by the probability that the territory of New Mexico is likely to become a state in tbe near future. When that time comes, ail but one or two of the federal judges will be legislated out of offioe, and as tbe other judges have been longest in office they will naturally Jbe entitled to a preference in the re-ad­ justment of the courts, both federal and state supreme court. Among other reasons that influenced tbe judge were the fact that be would have to abandon the good position which he already holds and sever all the ties of business, social and home associations which bold him in this community. The Herald is confident that it ex­ presses tbe common sentiment of the people of Hastings and of the whole fifth judicial circuit when it expresses ?[ratification that Judge Smith and his amilv have decided to remain in Michigan Obituary. Last evening at 10:00 o’clock Mrs. Susiana Blakney passed away, at the age of 67 years.
