WHAT TO DRINK.

eff you want a drink that will
keep you warm whole night long
out of door," said an old policeman
to friend, "don't drink whisky or
rum or any liquor. The heat they
afford is short lived and leaves you
cold and weak. They are worse than
nothing. But drink a glass of ale
and pepper-new ale and common
black pepper. 1t will not affect your
head, but it will keep your blood
warm in the keenest wind and coolest
rain" II never tried the pepper
part of that prescription" said a
Third-avenue Car driver, ''but ale is,
l know, thought to be very warming.
We ar-drivers have colder work than
policemen do, | think, and the old
ones among us have tried every drink
you ever heard of. A lot of us were
talking the whole thing over the other
night. Hot rum, hot whisky, brandy
and ginger, and all the cold clear
alcoholic drinks were discussed. But
the majority were in favor of hot
coffee. That is the least hurtful, the
most heating and the longest lasting
drink know of."-We,o York San.

New Years Dance.

The New Years hop given by the
Owl Club, Jan. 1st, 1884, was largely
attended by citizens of CentralIa and
Grand Rapids, and many visitors from
abroad. Writer'S Hall was appropri-
ately decorated and the music was
unusually fine. Some $50 persons
enjoyed the festivities and alrreported
1t the most pleasant gathering of the
season. The ladies were finely dress
ed, some with most elegant toilets.
The gentlemen always appear we'll,
therefore need no comment. The
supper was prepared especially for
this occasion and met with the hearty
approval of all. The Witter House
is winning for itself an enviable repu-
tation among the popular and leading
hotels of the State. Mr.. Henry Wat
ner, the proprietor, is most agreeable
and social gentleman and spares no
pains on his part, to make these
parties pleasant for all who attend.

ViIlainous Crime.

The lowest and vilest crime ever
committed in this city was perpetrated
New Years night. Some unknown
person broke into the house of Mrs.
Polensky and violated the person of
the little old lady in a most shameful
and outrageous manner. A revolver,
red sash and one mitten were left in
the house upon which to found a clue
Marshal Carey was doing excellent
detective work and finally had Fred
Biehlmyer arrested on complaint of
Mr.. Henry Gesler as the guilty party.
Mrs. Polensky also described the vii
lain as the person arrested. He was
arraigned for examination and discharg
ed. That criminals are bold and fear
less Of the law is not to be wondered
at, when such villainous crime as
this can be perpetrated in the heart Of
the city, upon a poor defenseless old
lady II years of age, lettering on the
verge of the grave, when the clues to
the guilty party were so numerous and
plain. The relatives should have the
matter investigated, another complaint
made and secure the punishment of
the guilty party.

Literature Glass

The long winter evenings are
passing slowly away. And it has
been matter of thought with many
among us, whether their continuance
could not be occupied with pleasurable
and profitable meetings, by those in-
terested in Literary topics. Oppor-
tunities are with US in this direction
that were not present one year ago, in
libraries that have come into existence
for public use, And due arrange
ments can be made where those in
terested can make use of the same.
Those who are thoroughly interested
in this matter are invited to attend
the first informal meeting at the
parlors of the Witter House upon
Thursday evening January 18th,
when organizing and mode of pro-
ceedure will be discussed. There will
be no "boom" in this affair, but it
is hoped that a steady and progressive
spirit will be manifested by all who
take part.
