A Historic neutrality-suspicious..

The proof strengthens that the old
Cass mansion on Larned street, which
has been the subject of several recent
notices in the Ne,cs. is the identical
structure built by Gov. De la Motto
Cadillac for the Huron chief in 1903.
More careful inspection of the frame
work reveals the fact that the opinion
current among local antiquaries, resting
upon the statement of Mr.. Smolk, a
former owner, that it was made of white
cedar, is total blunder. There is not
stick of cedar in the building. The
principal parts of the frame and the
underpinning are of oak, and to this
extent corroborate the report made
by Cadillac to Pontchartrain that
he had built a "house of oak
for the Indian chieftain. Taken in
connection with its well-known former
situation, about 100 feet below its later
site, strong case is made for the iden-
tity of this edifice with the cabin of
1903. The chief remaining difficulty is
with the comparative dimensions. Ca
dillac reported its size at "forty feet
long and twenty-four feet wide" while
this building was about thirty feet deep

The Great Fire of 1881.

other palatable victuals to the survivors
of the calamity on the Fair Grounds
Gov. Jerome, Gen. Hartsuff and Judge
VIM. L. Mitchell, of Port Huron, were
present. Judge Mitchell delivered an
able and eloquent address to the vast
audience, briefly going into the history
of the county since its organization, and
portraying the difference in the outlook
from that of one year ago.
The Governor also addressed the
burnt-outs, and Gen. Hartsuff made a
short speech. Mr. Mcdonald, young
attorney who did good work in behalf of
the sufferers in New York city, was also
present. He is now q resident of Mar
lette. The affair was grand success,

THE recent earthquake at Virginia
City was not noticed at all in the min
ing depths, but only by people on the
surface. Their famous earthquake of
some time ago, which shook down
chimneys and Prevails, cracked brick
buildings and did other damage, was
merely noticed by some of the miners
working in the upper levels, but it did
no damage, not even shaking down
loose stones and earth. The station
men in the various shafts felt it the
strongest, and the deepest point where
it was noticed was by the station-tender
at the 9OO-foot level of the Imperial
Empire shaft-900 feet below the sur
face He said it felt like sudden faint
throb or pulsation of the air, as though
a blast had been let off at distance
above. below or in some indefinite di-
rection. In some of the mines the
shock was not noticed at all, even by
.station-men. Commenting on this pc
culiar fact at the time, the Gold Hill
Ne,rs remarked that the earthquake
seemed to be an electrical disturbance,
proceeding from the atmosphere, and
not from the depths of the earth.

A WICKED but unfortunate Cincinnati
man fell in love with his neighbor's
wife, and made an appointment with
her in a secluded apartment. She shut
the door and turned the key on the out
side, locking him in. Pretty soon there
entered janitor, armed with a club.
What was left of the "masher" that
wasn't quite mashed was then let out of
the room to fall into the hands of the
indignant strong-armed blacksmith of a
husband, who, with a few friends, re-
ceived him with open arms and closed
fists He finally got out in the street,
bruised and sore, to be followed by a
crowd who had been put up to the
game, hooting and jeering. Worst of
all, he was greeted by the woman her
self with the cheering remark that "such
a red-headed, cross-eyed fellow should
know better than insult her"

Ignite beds which belong to the eocene

IN MEMORTAM.

The following touching tribute of Z. B
Dewing, Esq, of Elkhorn, is copied from The
Lake Geneva Herald:
The bereavement of family, the sorrow
of household. the unspeakable grief Of
father, mother, brother and sister, was fully
conveyed to the intelligence of friends here
last Monday morning in Judge Wentworth s
brief dispatch, "our dear boy Mcdonnell
died yesterday" No aggregation of words,
no elaboration of expression could add a
deeper meaning or shade of sadness to the
touching pathos OF this simple announce
ment.
Thomas Mcdonnell Wentworth was born in
Geneva, Walworth county, Wis, and was at
the time of his death twenty three years old.
His childhood and youth were passed in
Geneva, and later, in Elkhorn, in both of
which places he had many warm friends by
whom he will be sincerely mourned. He
was modest, manly youth-truthful, hon
est. heterogeneous without pretence; in
telligent, without conceit. He was distin.
guished for having in marked degree those
rare personal qualities which enable the
possessor to win friends without fawning
and to keep them without effort. Mac. was
bright scholar, and had largely developed
the family characteristic of love for books
and higher education. After the usual
course in the Public Schools he spent term
in the Preparatory Department of Beloit
College, and graduated later from McMynn's
Racine Academy. For about three and one
half years past he has been a student at
Yale College, where during the fall

monary disease which caused his untimely
death He was close student, his progress
and standing at Yale being simply shown By
the fact that the learned President of that
venerable and exacting institution had sig.
nified his willingness and purpose to confer
upon him the usual degree, in the event of
his inability to resume and complete the
prescribed course.
Some time in the early winter Mac, ac-
companied by his mother. went to Colorado,
where many weeks Of alternate hope and
fear with constant anxiety were passed in
the vain effort to regain strength and health.
Becoming satisfied two or three weeks ago
that the Colorado influences were not benefi-
cial to him, Mrs. Wentworth brought her
dear boy home to Racine where, as stated
on Sunday, April S0th, the sad end came, and
poor Mac was at rest.
1t is vain to speculate upon the possible
ties of our young friends life had he been
spared. We may not know what might
have been; but we know that during
his short lease of life he had ever per-
formed we'll his part and that he was
admirably equipped at all points for
entering upon promising and successful
career. Expressions Of affectionate sympa
thy with the grief stricken circle are heard
on all hands, but it is known and felt that
in their dear boys death the bereaved family
sustain loss that cannot be healed and ex-
perience a sorrow that cannot be told
