Quite an interesting and ro-
mantle elopement created a ripple
of excitement in town Tuesday
morning.
Miss Louie Perry, daughter OF
Judge G. w. Perry, returned home
Thursday from Eagle River, where
she has been teaching during the
past year. She was accompanied
by her sister Mile, who has been
making a short visit there.
The church-going portion OF
our citizens had the fortune, on
Sunday afternoon last, of listening
/ to a very eloquent sermon from Rev.
Mr.. Bill, a young and talented Epis-
copal clergyman from Farlbault.
Mr.. Bill was accompanied by Rev.
Mr.. Gilfillan, formerly of Duluth.
Mr.. Kinkead, who has been
! spending the summer here for the
benefi: of his health, left Tues day
morning for short sojourn at Mil
waukee. He expects to return, we
believe, as in no locality does the
climate agree with him as well as
does this.
"A large excursion party from
Duluth, ladies and gentlemen, most
# them Germans, came over on
the Stlllman Witt Sunday afternoon
and remained few hours in town,
taking in the many advantages of
the future city at the head of the
lake.
The many friends of Misses
Julia and Bell Calverly will be
pleased to learn that these estimable
young ladies. have obtained S; tua-
lions as teachers 10 Duluth, Miss
Bell TO teach the school on Mime
sofa Point, this side the canal, and
Miss Julia the school at Rice's Point.
Miss Florence Moore, formerly Of
this place, has been engaged to
teach in room d, Duluth high
school. The schools are to com
menceUbout Sept. Is.
The base ball fever which has
been raging SO hotIy at St. Paul,
Minneapolis, and other Minnesota
villages, has at last reached the
head of Lake Superior, breaking out
in both Duluth and Superior, it first
appearance here being in the organ
ization Of clao, on Tuesday last,
under the name of the North
Stars" Of Superior, who will make
their first appearance in public on
tomorrow Saturday afternoon, at
halt-past twelve O'clock, when they
will try conclusions with the crack
club of Duluth, the 'Royals. y
There is frst-rate material in the
North Stars, but as the boys have
only had four days practice, they do
not, OF course, expect to get away
with the Royals, who have been
| playing all summer; they will, how
ever, endeavOr to teach the Royals
that 1t is 40 royal road that leads
to victory on their diamond, and
that if the glimmer OF their lumiua-
rles Is eXtinguished, it will be but
for time, when, after a little more
practice, they will shine forth more
brilliantly. The game will be play
ed Oh grounds near the Court House,
where, with considerable labor, the
club has laid out a pretty good
ground. A large crowd is expected
over from Duluth.
THE BIG FLOATING ISLAND MOVES Across
THE BAY Our citizens have observed dur
ing the past few years, that the floating
islands that used to be located on the west
side of the bay, have, one after another,
been driven by the wind across the bay, and
have attached themselves to Minnesota
Point. The large island near the n P
docks, which for years has defied the wind.
to move it materially, was also driven across
the bay last Tuesday afternoon and now re-
poses in the nelghborhOod of the others,
short distance below Mr.. Hughes mill II
was dislodged, not so much by the wind-as
Il very moderate one was blowing at the time
as by the almost unparalleled high stage oil
water that for the past few weeks has pre-
vailed at the head of the lake, and conse
quently in the bay. 1t was lifted out of il
place, as it were, and then the action OF tn,
current and very moderate wind sufficed
to drive it across the bay.
Incredible as it may seem to those wh(
have never seen these floating islands, Thu
last one embraced somewhere near two
acres it is covered with heavy growth o
tamarack, cedar &c, some of the trees being
eight or ten inches in diameter, and from 2;
to 80 feet in height ; and, as Will be seen b,
consulting one of the maps, it was laid GU
into city lots
Querv: To whom do the lots on tina
island now belong? The same one tina
owned them heretofore, or the man on Min
nesota Point who owns the lots to which
they are now owned and attached I?
Only one small sland now remains of tha
little cluster that formerly adorned the ives
side of the bay, and perhaps it may soon fol
low in the wake of the others.-Duleth Tri
