A Model Theater.

A great national opera house is to be
built on the Thames embankment in
London, that it is expected will be a
model theater. The cost will be $3.50,
900. The plan on which it is to be
built is rather a strange one. Each
shareholder on taking a share receives
five per cent interest, and in addition
is allowed to nominate the life of any
body he chooses. The annual income
of the opera house is divided ratably
among the shareholders, and, as each
of the so appointed lives or nominees
decease, those shareholders only whose
nominees survive continue to divide
ratably the annual income, until even
tually the shareholder whose nominee
survives all the others becomes entitled
to all the property but, until this oc-
ours, every year brings him in from
twenty or thirty to fifty per cent, as the
case. may be. Each shareholder has a
right to name life in respect to each
of his shares, and in order to expedite
matters so that the tontine may be de-
termined upon within respectable
time, nc life is to be nominated that is
under sixty years so, when the next
ten, twelve or fifteen years have passed
away, the lucky winner will be able to
enjoy his property. Detroit Press.

A foreign journal states that in re-
cent experiment thirty seven cats be-
longing in the city of Liege, Belgium,
were taken in bags long distance into
the country. The animals were released
at two o'clock in the afternoon, and at
GAS of the same day one of them reached
its home. His feline companions ar
rived at Liege somewhat later, but with
in twenty -four hours every one had
reached its home. It is now proposed
to substitute cats for carrier pigeons,
and to establish regular system of
cat communication between Liege and
the neighboring villages.
The most agreeable of all companions
is simple, frank man, without any
high pretensions to an oppressive
greatness; one who loves life. and un-
derstands the use of it; obllging alike.

Died, in this village, on Thursday, Sept. 90
Harmon Crane, aged neayIy eighty-fve years
Deceased was born in Salisbury, Conn.,, in 1895
When small boy his parents moved to Ohio
and there few years later he made the &C
quantance OF Lucy Ann Coleman, whom he
married ID November 1918, at Shslersvlle
Ohio. Sixty-two years is a long time for a
couple to live together, but still more remark
able is the fact that during all these years the
longest period they have been separated has
not exceeded two weeks. The companion who
has so faithfully walked by his side, sharing
his joys and helping to tighten his sorrows,
survives him at the age Of eighty -four-one
year his junior. Their family consisted OF
four sons, only two OF whom are living
Edward J. Crane of this village, and George S.
Crane Of Camden, Hilsdale county.
Mr.. Crane has been resident OF Paw Paw
for the past thirteen years, and his genial ma
ture made many friends among both old and
young. The funeral took place from his late
residence on Sunday afternoon, the services
being conducted by Rev. DR.. Schetky. Truly
it may be SAID his life was worthy OF emulation
by others.

AGRICULTURAL COLLEGE NEWS


From Our Own Correspondent.
Mrs. Hazett's speech in the Opera House on
Friday evening last was complete success, and
7 dare say that more enthusiastic meeting has
not been held during this campaign. Republ-
cans went away light-hearted, joyous, conf
dent; Democrats, sour, gloomy, and abashed ;
Greenbackers, discouraged, Respondent, and re-
morseful. And yet none were offended.
The speakers history Of her own life was very
cision OF character, inasmuch as her father, IN
Gle, formerly NJ. CO., and four brothers, one OF
whom is on the Democratic ticket as Repre-
sentative, are all Democrats. She said: "My
father locked very anxIously after the politics
OF my brothers, but 1, being only q girl, was
left to grow up naturally, as a consequence Of
which am Republican; and for my part do
not see how, nor do l believe that any person,
left to grow up naturally, can grow into Dem
ocrat.'
After briefly reviewing the actions Of the two
parties, the speaker contrasted the military
abilities OF Generals Grant and Hancock-usipg
as her illustration the battle Of the Wilderness.
The account was very thrilling, and q close OBJ
server might have seen the tears stealing down
the cheeks OF those old veterans who answered
"yes" to the question: "Were any OF You
there?
Mrs. II. closed her two hours address by
final appeal to the young men to attach them
selves to party not ashamed OF its record, and
the party for the people, and in voice as clear
as a clarion, and full Of hearty good feeling to-
ward all, babe her hearers good might.
Col. o. I. Beard, of tho Post d Tribune, and
who arrived late in the evening, was called for,
and made a five-minute speech; after which
three rousing cheers and "tiger" were given
for the Republican National, State and County
ticket, and one OF the most enthusiastic meet
ings of the campaign closed.

Prof. Kedze has very kindly consented to
give the sophomore class four hours OF labora-

preciated by the students. We are now smut
