EXTRACT from Becent Proceedings of Detroit
Limekiln Club
Samuel Shin had for some time been
moving about in an uneasy manner,
he jumped up and presented the follow
lowing resolution:
s.Rcso rcd, Dat de present great need of dis
kentry am an airly spring.
Brother Gardner waited half minute
to hear if anyone favored the resolution,
and then said:
''Brudder Shin, you am a good man
behind a buck-saw, an you kin handle
a white-wash brush wild grace an STRAIT
egg, an it makes me sorry to see you
bite off more dan you Gan chaw, when
it comes to regulatin' the weather.
How do you know what dis kentry
needs? In de course of day you move
ober four or five miles of groun'. an
you go home wild de idea dat you know
what de hull world am sighin' arter.
When de Lawd gifts ready to resign dc
maxim of de weather into de hands of
an vote fur you, but until dat time
comes you had better put yer airly
spring resolution in yer pocket an sot
down.
Brother Shin wilted away like pansy
hit by the breath of an iceberg, and the
President continues:
I'VE will now go home. We will let
natur' go ahead wild her rain an slush
an snow or mud, or she kin send us
gentle breezes an red roses. We am
simply dead-headed passengers, an it
am not fur us to blow about how de
masheen am run. Let de lights be put
out, de stove shet up, an all remember
dat de 10th stair from dc bottom am
liable to smash out if you bar yer full
weight on it.''-DctrOH Free Press.

The Associated Press Agent at WASH

tration. He holds Secretary Blaine response

expects to be defeated, and realizes that
Robertson will be confirmed, but says there
is n principle involved, and that he would
make q fight II he knew that he were the
only Senator who would vote against Robert
son. Attorney General McVeagh's re-
tirement from the Cabinet is again
q subject Of speculation. 1t is
claimed he has exerted himself
10 defeat the confirmation of Chandler and
Robertson, and the Presidents friends rep
resent he Ia disposed to take MacVeagh's
reported Interference very seriously. 1t is
also stated that the nominations which
are said to give offense to Senators Conk-
ling and Platt were made with the
knowledge Of these gentlemen, and not
without consulting, as maintained. 1t is
not likely the name Of either Chandler
or Robertson will be withdrawn, opposition
to these appointments having apparently
confirmed the President in his original in
tenfion not to be overruled after his selec-
lions of officers have been made and their
names sent to the Senate for confirmation,
unless something is brought forward to con-
vince him OF his appointees' unftness of

The City Brewery kindly sent a key Of
it's best foamy lager to the SENTINEL last
Saturday. 1t stood the test ~splendidly,
and the force moved h unanimous vote Of
thanks to Regli d Bremsnkamp, the brew
ers. But the "boys" of the SENTINEL
are, as a rule, q temperate set, and they
debated for some time as to the best
method of preserving it and making it last
throughout the week. They adjourned
from the key on Sunday morning at 2
o'clock, leaving it about half full.
Whether by instinct or some other invisi-
BILE attractive power, q member OF the art
preservative from q n~eighboring establish
ment found his way to the beer some three
hours later, when the great press had
ceased its pulsations, and the office was
wrapt in quiet and darkness. 1t was an
early hour to feel thirsty, but the comp.
needed not the time, place nor surround
ings, but he sat himself down In an easy
chair and drained the barrel to its very
dregs. As he was lifting the last foamine
glass to his lips, he was discovered by
returning carrier, and quietly withdrew
with the remark that 1t was damned
good beer"
Messrs. Regli 4 Bremenkamp followed
up the first key with another last evening
and the "prints" have resolved to sur
round this with q better safeguard, and de
rive the full virtue OF its contents. Again
Messrs. Brewers, thanks.

EDITOR SENTINEL "Helaughs best who
laughs last" The following extract from
the Leader Of last evening is my excuse for
trespassing upon your columns. / detest
and abominate a newspaper controversy as
much as despise a man who hides his
head under a bushel and writes under a
nom de plume. The article is headed as
follows:
"Albion Bonanzas () - The Albion
Stock Scheme to be Shown Up from Its In
ception."
And the following is an extract from tho
same
"Under date Of February "a the SENTI-
E says that sit was reported that the
Richmond Company had secured control of
the Albion, but Superintendent Robinson
Of the Albion laughed at the suggestion Of
the Albion selling out Now, really, did
he laugh? How funny this sounds to
some OF the Richmond people,"
Now l dom remember of having laughed
on that particular occasion, and / don't
see how my smiling could affect the price
OF Albion stock, for il it could, my friends
who hold the same might rest easy and
continue to hold for higher prices, for l
cannot help being amused at the aspect Of
our affairs and the prospect of our west
end bonanza theory. / was the originator
Of the Albion Mining Company, ard have
engineered it to its present standing, an
no one seems to have found fault with it
unless it be The bird who sings so sweetly

company owns and has possession Of. /
know OF and am familiar with the vast ore
bodies existing and being within the cor
Rers of our claims. / am prepared to show
that If Uncle Sam has any claim in this

don't propose to argue with a myth, and il
" Fair Play" will come out Of his cover OF
foul play l will willingly measure swords
with him or any of his Guy Fawkes sub
bordinates. Our friends begin to think
there is another Richmond in the field
"just beyond the end line" and that its
name is Albion. 1t may be perfidious in
the mind Of Fair Play" but still it is AL
bion. Fair Play" is said to be ga
jewell" I am told that in this instance it
is a bird, and as fine feathers make fine

like "Brittania Rules the Wave" "God

q" Uncle Sam is Rich Enough to Give Us
All a Farm" or "Thou Art So Near and
Yet So Far" Don't think that a wolf in
clothing can fool any man who
holds Albion stock at present prices and
induce him to sell, while awaiting a de-
cision Of an honest Judge, rendered after
an able presentation and closing argument
OF an honorable gentleman in the Rich

Triumphant Success of the Sol
deues.


"Olivette" and the Soldenes scored a
great success last night. The Opera House
was crowded, and the season opened most
auspiciously. In enthusiasm. the audience
excelled any that has gathered within the
present building, the applause being almost
continues. Five single encores and q tri-
pie one were demanded, and a call before
the curtain after the second act. The COM
pany appeared in the best of humor and
form" and made a decidedly happy inn
preston unsteady and physically. The
opera was rendered in a delightful way, the
music good, the chorus strong and harmo-
NOUS and the costuming rich and elegant.
Miss Soldene sang e~xcellently, and drew
out q number Of encores. Her voice has
great volume and encompasses considers
Bile melody, though the respiration is very
marked at times. Miss Stella captured the
audience. Compared to Miss Soldene, she
is petite, and a perfest soubrette in action.
She has o pretty person, and she knows 1t.
Her voice is o robust contralto, but she
Yields 1t agreeably. She has the life OF
! Aimee, and occasionally q little more dash.
The next stellar attraction was Miss Dug

Our Reasons.

In fact, we sell all goods at San Francisco
prices, and NO HUMBUG. For the benefit Of
those who want to know how we sell Goods SO
cheap, we will explain Our buyers are al
ways in the market, and are thoroughly con-
versant with the Dry Goods business, being
brought up to it from childhood, and therefore
know the texture Of any piece of Goods. and
the actual value thereof, and being in the
market all the time know when they see q
piece OF new goods. and no old stock that has
been in the store for years can be palmed Oh
on them ~ being Of the latest pattern. And
as We buy our goods for cash we get . certain
percentage which those who do not cannot OBJ
tain. These are some Of the reasons why we
sell SO cheap. Another reason is we sell for
cash. thereby lessening our expenses. II we
had to keep . set of books we would need
more help. And again, we do not believe in
the theory of charging good customers with
the debts of others to make good their losses.
