THE address issued by the board of
aldermen, manufacturers and merchants
of the city of Manitowoc, (Which address,
by the way, was kept carefully concealed
from the local papers of the city relative
to the advantages of Manitowoc as q
shipping point, has been published in
the Ludington Aemoerqt. Through the
kindness of Mayor Schuette We are in
receipt of copy of this paper. In the
same issue is published the correspond
ence between the mayor of Ludington
and the committee of the Minneapolis
board of trade, relating to Ihs harbor at
Ludingtop.
The government has expended $780,
900 on the Ludingtcn harbor. About
II 900 sailing vessels enter and clear that
port annually. A daily line of steamers
is run between that point and Milwaukee,
and the Northern Transportation Com
pany make the port in running between
Chicago and Sarnia. The harbor is open
all winter and several hundred feet of
warehouses extend out to twenty feet Of
water. The harbor is situated in bay
and is protected by two points. The
distance from Ludington to Detroit by
way of The Flint & Pere Marquette rail-
way is 246 miles, e Flint la miles aud
to Alanitovoc by steamer 81 miles. The
people there are very much interested in
continuous line by way of Manitowoc
to Minnesota.
If there is any intention Of construct:
ing 4 new line of railway to the ATLANTIC
coast, and the recent great sale of rail.
way stock by Vanderbilt foreshadows the
necessity of such line. it is difficult to
imagine why the line should not include
a regular line of steamers from Mantle
voc to Ludington. 1t is the most direct,
inexpensive and feasible route and ii me
will certainly bring it about.

CAPTAIN TIN KELLEY arrived home
last night after long and prosperous
season on the lakes. During the evening
the captain was surprised at the number
of friends who were dropping in to see
him and making themselves comfortable
as if they chad come to stay" Between
curiosity and courtesy he had rather a
trying time of it, and finally when he
thought the returns were oil in he asked
a friend ''if there were teachers insti-
tute in session in the city," All present
enjoyed themselves rs they could not
otherwise do with Mrs Kelley as hos

/ chased large. number of cattle from

ship south. Affability, and fair dealing
have made Ernst popular and reliable
man to deal with.
William Taylor has erected one of
Smalley's celebrated feed mills on his

AT special school district meeting
held in the school-house in district Num-
Der One on Monday evening last, it was
resolved to begin the erection of new
school house on the 18th of June next.
The building will be Sc feet long by %
feet wide, the frame of wood and veneer
ed with brick. The stuff will all be pur-
chased by Q. committee appointed by the
district and the masonry and carpenter
work will be let to the lowest bidder. 1t
is intended that the building shall be
ready for occupancy at the beginning of
the next term, when two teachers will be
employed. The district are to be con-
graduated on their wise action in this
matter, as but very indifferent results
can be expected when the pupils are
crowded into quarters hardly sufficient to
accommodate half their number, and the
work of three teachers devolves upon
one.

A WOMAN from kossuth filed an in
formation with Judge Kirwan last week
that her husband was insane, and dan
gerous person to be at large. Sheriff
Pierce took the man into custody, but an
examination proved the man sane but
jealous. The woman then attempted to
institute proceedings against the hus-

but even In this she failed. 1t Is the
general opinion of those who know the
circumstances that the man is mere sim

THE CONCERT.

Fully four hundred persons were pres
emit at Turner Hall on Monday evening
of this week to hear the Clement Broth
ers' Troupe. On former occasions this
company had fair sized audiences and
the reputation then earned together with
the expectation which promises OF i'm
provement encouraged, attracted the
large crowd before which they appeared
on Monday. The present company
though much more pretentious, is decid-
eddy inferior to the former one under the
same management. Perhaps the person
mel is equally good, but the performance
will not justify that opinion. 1t is diff
cult to conceive why vocal culture should
attest its proficiency by accomplishing
that which is difficult rather than that
which is pleasing. Singing is designed
to excite pleasurable emotions and in a
mixed audience it should not seek to
crafty those tastes only, which are
reached through the intellect. Those
whose tastes care not cultivated" have a
capacity for enjoying what is beautiful
in vocal music though no appreciation of
what is difficult, and in mercy to them
the difficult" should be reserved for
those whose education cannot be satisfied
with simplicity and real melody. We are
discussing singing without the slightest
knowledge of the subject save the con-
seriousness Tia. 3 certain kind pleases
and another offends, and that the latter
is most highly appreciated by adopts
and is the prevailing kind with "artists.
But We plead for the Ignorant, those in
whom art have not supplanted nature,
who love the sweet pure, liquid voice
without any straining to reach a pitch
commended only by its difficulty" or
warbling in emulation of birds.
Miss Reese has voice expressive,
sweet, full and strong. ALI those quail
ties were shown in the verse she sang to
the air of the "Last Rose of Summer"
Had she sung the entire song our iudg-
ment of the concert would be much more
favorable. Mr.. Reese has splendid
bass voice and with different pro-
gramme would have made himself ia
vorite. In Mr.. Clements voice there is
pathos which gives it pleasing So
lemnity and gives his singing charm
beyond that of mechanical execution.
He is man of fine personal appearance
and this adds to his success.
The programme is poor one which is
all the more to be regretted as the COM
pany is capable of doing good work. 1t
occupies the two extremes in the musical
field, poor ballads and the ''artistic. :"
The members of the company were high
ly pleased with their audience and speak
we'll of Manitowoc.

ONLY short tlme ago the word boom
was very seldom used, now everything
that is rising, gaining ground or rushing
is said to be booming, and the word is so
often used that people are beginning to
get sick Of hearing it. There is the trade
boom, the party boom, the Grant boom
and all the other booms. Now we know
that but comparatively few men, and none
of the ladies; except Mrs. E. G. Stanton,
Mrs: S: B: Alnlthhony, Mrs. Victoria
Woodruff and their followers, care
fig for any or all of these booms: but
what they do care for, and ought to know
is, where can they best be suited in MAX
ing purchases for themselves and their
families for the holidays. to1 any other
days.. We being interested parties, it
would not look we'll to answer this ques-

say to all: give us fair trial and you

o MOSES has another lengthy commu-
nication in this issue on salaries Of, coun-
ty officers. While he undoubtedly has
the law on his side in discussing sheriff's
fees, still the board found it necessary to
make some provision for the removal Of
insane persons to the asylum as neither
the sheriff or any other officer can afford
to take these unfortunate persons to the
asylum at the legal rates. We believe
however that the criticism of our CORES
pondent will be productive of good re-
suits. The county board are very apt to
be extrayagant in ore direction and show
the most miserly economy in another, e.
9; raising salaries which now are
munifcent, and paying S25 for publish
ing the proceedings which cannot be
copied for that sum. At the legal rates
for copies of documents. the mere cleri
cal work of copying ssuld be far above
800. One copyist can furnish manu-
script enough for four printers and still
this entire work is expected to be done
for the sum of S25 as per tue resolution
of the county board. Recording the
proceedings Of the county board is fully
one-fourth of the actual work done by
the clerk during one year. But the
board makes S25 full compensation for
copying these proceedings, printing
them which is about four times the labor
of copying, and the use of the space liz
the papers, which if let to advertising
agents would bring tour times the am
cunt received from the county. Of
course there is no law compelling the
COUNT papers to print the proceedings,
still the board should be just to all rath-
er than extravagantly generous to g few.
