His physicians have given up the pres
ident as beyond human aid, and the long
suspense may be considered over; for
though doctors do often prematurely des-
pair of their patients, in this case there
is hardly chance that they have done SO.
The public generally has anticipated a
fatal end to the presidents illness for. a
long time. The hope of those about his
bedside has not extended far away from
it. The people are fully prepared fol
the sad news of to-day, though theil
sorrow is none the less, that the shock
of surprise does not accompany it. The
long suffering of the president is strong
element in the grief which the end bring:
with it. The sincerity of the mourning
which the nation will put on will be un-
challenged. There is no one at all in tn,
land whose heart is not heavy under th'
heavy dispensation of his death.

The "boom" in both old and new to.
baccO continues with increased vigor.

cases; Eli X. Mylin, OF Pcluea sold 53
cases to Mycr & Mcnlclssohn of New

200 or 800 cases. The entire sales of 80
tobacco during the week, can hardly fall
below 800 eases. The prices are not
given but are said to be high, and the
smiling faces Of the sellers give color to
the report. Several offers have been made
for several other packinss but the holders
decline to put q price upon their goods.
Transactions in the 81 crop, have cOu-
tinued active during the week. Buyers
have traversed all sections Of the county
and have picked up every good crop that
came in their path. and great many
crops that were not SD good. 1t is csti-
mated that Ii, 900 cases of the crop have
been already purchased. Some estimates
place it rs low as 60, 900 and others as low
as T., 900. It. is not likely that the entire
crop of tho county will exceed 80, 900 or
5000 cases and very large pro-
portion Of that rem,ining unsOld
is short leaf. Tho whole crop
however, is very clean and free from
white vein, insect holes or any other de-
feet. The greater part of it has been cut
and pat upon the poles and is curing cy-
ceptionally well
In the adjoining counties of York, Ches-
ter Lebanon and Bcrks not much OF the
new crop has yet been bought, SO far rs
we know. After Lancaster county. "the
garden spot has been cleaned up, dealers
will no doubtpay attention to the crops Of
other Pennsylvania counties.

The New York Times, the leading
Republican newspaper Of the country,
deserves great credit for the searching
and persistent manner in which it con-
tinues to expose i'm detail the Star route
postal frauds, and its very comprehen-
sive disclosures leave little to be done
in the way of preparing evidence for the
conviction of the conspiring scoundrels
who. under Hayes's administration,
plundered the government with
such impunity that they must have been
protected by those IN power. The pub
lie are not satisfied with the tardiness of
the prosecution Of these thieves, nor have
they forgotten that the wholesale sys-
tenn of Treasury steals. has not been fully
investigated and that the inquiry begun
was suddenly and suspiciously abandon
ed, without any satisfactory explanation
ever yet given to the public.

In a late severe editorial on Attorney
General Palmer the Press says "Does
Mr.. Palmer want the veil lifted from that
meeting in Harrisburg, where the opinion
OF the attorney general on the salary ques-
tiOn was devised and where tho motives
for it were developed ," Why does not
the Press lift the veil? Its threat
sounds more like blackmail than the jour
nalism of which the Press is All exponent.
THERE is quite brisk discussion Row
going Oh as to the legal complications of
Guiteau's case in the event that Garfield
should die in ElbcroE. One class of able
editors. are sure that the assassin would
have to be tried on foreign soil according
to New Jersey law another set Of news.
paper lawyers are equally sure that the
removal OF the victim precludes the posi-
biIity of conviction for murder. Alto
gether the disability and inability question
is quite distanced by the new problem.
ONE grievous effect OF the drought seen
by the New York Sun is the reduced
cucumber crop. Last year New York state
raised 200. 100000, Illinois 100000, 600,
New Jersey 10000, 600, and other states
many millions more. This year, it is said,
there will not be half crop, which means
scarcity Of pickles. This, added to the
corner in lemons. our luminous contempor-
ary thinks, will ensue in far-reaching con.
sequences. But then there arc people
who think the SIN has all tho acidity it

CATION that crowded the building,
almost to suffocation. The service
was of an unusually impressive character.
All the priests whose names are above
given were in the sanctuary, and the SOL
emn Litany of the Saints was chanted.
Father McCallan preached sermon in
his customary forcible vein, urging
upon his hearers to carry on the
work that had, he said, been merely
begun in the service of the week, and re-
minding them that it was essential they
should persevere to the end to obtain the
procession of the Blessed Sacrament,
very solemn and impressive service, which
was fully described in our columns at the
outset Of the Forty Hours. The benedic-
tron was then performed, his reverence
the bishop officiating.
A feature of yesterdays services was the
very elegant floral ornamentation of the
affairs, which was perhaps never surpassed
in the history of the church. During the
morning there were seven masses, the
visiting and resident priests severally
officiating, and at the 10 o'clock mass
Father McCallan's discourse was succinct
and powerful exposition of the duties of
Catholics in their relation to the con-
stitutea authorities of the national govern
ment. The attack on President Garfield was
referred to in most feeling manner, the
crime of the assault vividly portrayed and
execrated, and the condition of the wound
ed chief magistrate commended as a SUBJ
ject for the prayers of all who have the
welfare Of the nation at heart that he
might DO speedily restored.

the press is unanimous in praise. Mr.

Her persOnatiOn of the waif of the Sier-

evinced that she had true conception
of the character of the heroine of this
romance. Mr.. James Gilbert as Judge
McSnagsley, kept the large audience
cOnvulsed in laughter at his persOnatiOn
of a backwOOds justice. "The Gilberts"
are without doubt the best actors ever
before Traverse City audience. The
support is excellent.

by the Fox Theatrical company are play

All who attend are more than satisfied.

A Wise Move.

A number of intelligent German citi.
ZenS of Detroit and Saginaw have form
ed a company for the purpose of purchas-
ing lands along the line of the new rail
road which is being built from st. Ignace
to Marquette. Previous to making any
purchases pant of the company visited
the. lands to examine the soil, timber
water and climate of the country. They
made extensive inquiries among numer-
Gus Inhabitants, which were supple
mented by a patient, intelligent and
thorough personal investigation, and on
the report they subsequently made, their
colleagues in the enterprise Immediately
purchased 1900 acres of land of the
Mackinac and Marquette railroad COM
pany. These lands are situated along
and adjacent to the line of the road
about 10 miles northwest Of st. Ignace,
and are described by the gentlemen who
located them in eulOgistic terms. They
say the soil is of indispensable fertility,
the water abundant and pure, the forests
a fortune in themselves, and that the
climate is more even and not more severe
than that of the lower peninsula.
Buying the lands in a pool they were
able to secure low prices and satisfactory
terms OF payment from the company,
and they propose at an early day to take
up their homes on their new purchase.
This is very sagacious movement
and one which might be initiated with
advantage by many persons in the lower
peninsula as we'll as by others out of the
state. By clubbing together and buying
land in large bodies, the land can be Sc
cured lower than otherwise and the pay
.ments can be extended over a period of
years which will enable the purchasers
to devote more Of their ready capital to
improvements on their purchase. 1t will
also enable acquaintances to locate near
each other. to perpetuate their friend
ships, and assist each other, and by their
settling in colonies they can from the
start have the advantages of schools for
their children and of churches and social
intercourse for themselves. Already a
great tide of emigration is pouring in
upon that section from western Canada.
1t will fill up rapidly, and now before it
fills up. American and German citizens
who desire to cOlonize in these valuable
lands should combine and purchase in
blocks as these already named have WISE

DeSirucfiYe Hail.

A terrific hail and windstorm passed
over DeadwOOd, Dakota, Monday after
noon, doing great damage. Hail-stones
the size of hens eggs fell for over two
hours. One stone measured twenty-five
inches in circumference. The whirl-
wind struck in DeadwOOd Gulch, near
the confluence of WhitewOod and Dead
wood Clutches, completely destroying
four houses, killing one woman, the wife
of John A. WOlcOtt, of st. Louis, and
seriously injuring Mrs Thomas and her
two young children. Hundreds of trees
on the nils were uprOoted and hurled, in
some instances, distance of over 500
feet. Telegraph poles were torn up for
a distance of nearly mile. The whirl
wind separated before reaching the
thickly settled part of town, otherwise
the damage would have been simply
fsarful.

RAILROAD TALK.
A Proposed New Road from Detroit to
Bay City and ON to the Straits.

A Proposed New Road from Detroit to
Bay City and On to the Straits.
The Detroit Free Press says: "There is
strong possibility that within rea
sonable time another railroad will be
built from Detroit to Bay City and from
that point to the straits of Mackinaw
The capitalists who have the project un-
der consideration, have discussed it in
all its bearings, anu one of them yester-
day said to a reporter for this paper,
that he had no doubt such road would
be in operation five years hence. The
plan is to run out on the Grand Tcunk
to the vicinity of Frazer, and then strike
nOrthward through Romeo and AlmOnt,
and so on to Bay City, keeping about
twelve or fifteen miles east of the pres
ent Detroit & Bay City load. 1t is claim
ed, and with obvious wisdom, that such
a line would open up to Detroit very
large business, inasmuch as the country
is fertile and pOpulOus. The plan also
cOtemplates the extension OF the line
through Bay, Ioseo, Altoona, Alpena,
Presque Isle and ChebOygan counties to
the straits of Mackinaw, most of which
is good farming country. This line
would give another outlet to the Sagi-
nav Valley and prove a valuable feeder
to the Grand Trunk railway. This line
wOuld he one nracticalIv without oradps
and with no obstruction by SHOW. 1t is
estimated that it can be built and equip
ped for $20CC0 to $25,C00 a mile. 1t is
argued that such aroad must pay, because
the Detroit 81 Bay City is successful y
carrying bonds to the amount of $4,000
600. Although the project has not yet
taken very tangible shape, it is reason
able to hope that the gentleman who
thinks five years will see it booming is a
veritible prophet"

Electric ight in Rafting Logs.

The experiment of rafting logs at
night by the aid of the eletric light is
about to be tried by the Muskegon Boom
company, and B. F. OrtOn, the agent in
East Saginaw, last week sent to Muske-
gon the focus light that has been on ex-
hibition in East Saginaw. and two other
machines, the whole furnishing illu-
minating power equal to about 10000
candles. Should the experiment prove
successful it will much facilitate the
rafting of logs in the future.
