Boston Letter in Hartford Post.
| The tribute Of flowers on mortuary
or nuptial occasions is so common aud
profuse that they smother sentiment
often out of sight, and are actually
offensive to good taste A sentiment
is touched by either event, and flow
ers are the embodiment Of grief or
Joy. The modest and beautiful bon
quet that was deemed sufficient in
former times is superseded by floral
displays, rivaling a fioricultaral ex-
hibition, and incongruous piles Of de-
vices, hardly regarded, and perhaps
not known save in the reports Of the
gentlemen of tho press, crowd the
mourncrs or the mated with such pro-
fusion that it becomes puzzle what
to do with them.
1t is the fashion to do it, and florists
arc taxed to produce original pieces,
not SO much to express respectful or
more tender grief, but, for the sake of
getting up something new. At funer-

to bearing to the grave the various
Tyres, baskets, pillows, broken shafts,

half seen through the mourner's tears
and subject to the curious, who specu-
late on their cost and criticise their
construction or appropriateness. The
latter criticism often obtains whore
designs are sent that have little or
no relevancy in their meaning, as was
the case some time since, where
spectator said, regarding the floral
for one who had led a life
that would not have met the approval
Of the angels, "Why, the designs were
elegant, and among the rest was a
gate ajar that was very grace
full" Amodest old lady, who had heard
the culogium of the flowers, and knew
the party honored, quietly replied;

RoNING SHIRTS.
BY FRANCES D. GAZE.

BY FRANCES D. GAZE.
" Ironing my husbands shirts, said she,
With motion of easy grace,
As over the linen the metal flew,
While the love-light swept her face.
Little she thought how those simple word
Stirred within me the loves Of old,
How the pain shot through me to think o.
them
So long in their graves so cold.
That bosom so white, that earnest care
That never crease or seam
Should mar the linen to her so fair,
Was to me like an old-time dream.
All many's the time in days gone by,
As with weary hands strove,
] wished there were not so many to call
For wife's or mothers love.
And often said, as the sun sank low,
"0h, Pm glad my work is done;
So many, 80 manyP P Alas, poor hands.
They have now not even one.
All, wives, be patient, and mothers, be strong,
For the toll that comes to-day
IT'S easier far for the heart to bear
Than to have them far away.

-Rey J W. Hageman, late pas
tor of the Presbyterian church here, has
many friends in Superior who will be
pleased to learn that he has received
and accepted a call to the Franklin
Avenue Presbyterian church of Brook
lyn. He entered upon the discharge
of his duties as such pastor two weeks
ago tomorrow, and preached one of
his usual sound and comprehensive
sermons, taking for his text the second
verse of the second chapter of First
Corinthians: For | determined not
to know anything among YOU save
Jesus Christ and Him crucitied." Co
pious extracts Of the sermon is given
in the Brooklyn Eagle, which we haye
had the pleasure of reading. Mr..
Hagemen, the man now filling an i'm
portant Brooklyn church, is the man
who was driven out of Superior by one
or two snarling, hypocritical, back-bit
ing rule-or-ruin individuals a little
more than one year ago. But, thank
the Lord, what was our loss was his
gain, and we are pleased to know that
he is we'll and doing we'll

The Handel & Haydn Musical
Association of Superior, unless pre-
vented by some unavoidable event,
will give their first Concert next Fri
day evening the 29th inst, at City
Hall. The Association has some fifty
names enrolled, many of whom are al
ready good singers and all have made
rapid progress since the organization
of the Association. The rogram for
next Friday evening is an excellent
one and cannot fail to give satisfaction
TO all who may attend This is no
money making scheme, but is purely
for the improvement OF our home VOC
al talent. OF course the Association
cannot be maintained without consid-
cradle expense for lights, fuel, hall
rent, music books, instruments etc,
and it is to raise funds to meet these
expenses that an occasional concert
perhaps once a month-will be given.
Our people should encouraged the As
ISOLATION by attending these concerts
and thus help meet the necessary ex-
penScs Every church in town needs
more and better singers and thi. or

Some persons sent Us this week a
letter for publication, bearing down
hard on our prostitutes and some of
the young men who patronize them.
We cannot publish it for two import
ant reasons. First it Is too personal.
Second, the writer does not give his
own name, and he must take us for a
tender foot" for sure, if he thought
we would publish such a letter with
out knowing who wrote it. We do not
propose to father that kind Of writing.
Our houses of prostitution are a dis
grace to the town we will admit, and
have spoken against them before, but
if anybody is going to be hauled over
the Goals for their existence here let
the blame fall where it belongs-upon
the offci Is of the town-rather than
upon the silly worthless creatures who
patronize them But at any time, if
persons expect to get their letters
printed, they must always give to the
editor their correct name, not neces-
sarily for publication, but as a guar
antee of good faith on the part of the
writer

The Inter-Ocean of this week con-
tains a most infamous and libelous at
tack upon Dr. f. T. Gauvreau. in re-
lation to the late sickness in Mr.. A.
Frankfort's family. The article in
substance, charges the doctor with
gross ignorance, and because of SUI h
ignorance, places him upon a level
with the common murderer. If the
editor Of the Inter-Ocean has so soon
become the plant tool of others, in
this direction, the character and stand
ing of every man and woman in the
community is in jeopardy, for the one
who wrote Or indited the article allud-
ed to, would scruple at nothing to gain
a selfish end. We have no reply to
make to the attack because DIR. Gauv-
reau is abundantly able to attend to
that matter himself, and he will no
doubt do so in due time and in bis
own wav.

4 SorrOwing Family.

In our last issue We recorded the
death by diphtheria of the youngest
child Of Mr.. and Mrs. a. Frankfort,
with the added statement that it was
thought the disease would be confined
to the one case. In this however. we
were sadly mistaken, and even while
we were writing the item the disease
was doing its fell work. Both of their
other children. little boy of four and
a daughter Of nine, took the disease and
no medical skill could save them. The
daughter died at nine o'clock Monday
evening, and the boy at four O'Clock
Tuesday morning. Nr. Frankfort
also had the disease but will get over
it, at least he is doing we'll at this writ
ing. Mrs. Frankfort is a daughter
of the late Mr.. Johns, and came here
with her husband and family less than
year ago when her father died.
These are heavy Affections ana seem
almost uncomfortable, and yet mans
puny arm can do nothing to avert the
blows. The pain may be little cas-
Ter to bear when we remember that
He who has so grievously afflicted,
also has said, Suffer little children to
come unto me and forbid them not,
for of such is the kingdom of heaven"

WASH BURN.

Superior lot and land owners who do
nothing with their property but grum-
BILE about the taxes and hold on for
the great future" that is sure to come
for the town, will be deeply interested
to learn that the new town of Wash
burn on Lake Superior bids fair to ad-
vance to the front as a formidable riv-
al of all other towns at the head Of
Lake Superior. 1t has an excellent
natural situation OH the deep waters of
Chequamegon bay, about midway be-
tween Ashland and Bayfield, 1t is
the principal lake terminus and pet
town of the Omaha railroad company
1t already has large coal dock,
hotel and several stores, and an ele-
vator a saw mill and other improve
ments are expected this year. We not
ice that on the Omaha companys time
cards and folders the name Wash
burn" stands out in big letters, while
such poor little towns as bayfield,,
Ashland Superior and Duluth are all in
small type. 1t is generally understood
that the Omaha company or persons
interested in that company own the
town, and that they will boom it for
all it is worth. Backed by such pow
erful influences and with its fine nat
ural advantages, there is every reason
to believe that Washburn will speed
lily become large and thriving man
ufacturing and commercial port.
\. B.-The above is written for
two purposes, to-wit: First, as an item
Of news. Second to show some Of our
good friends abroad, and at home too,
that they, and they alone, have not
got the ''deadwood" on the townsite
business in the Northwest-that Supe
rior is not the only location for city
out here.

BAYFIELD,.

1t may not be generally known that
the city of Bayfield,, our nearest and
best Wisconsin neighbor, was named
after an Admiral in the British Navy,
Henry w. bayfield,, who made sur
vey of Lake Superior for his govern
ment as early as 1924, just sixty
years ago. SO accurate was Captain
Bayfeld's soundings that his chart is
used to this day by most navigators.
The following copy of letter re-
ceived by Hon. Henry NJ. Rice, the
father of the town of Bayfield,, from
the Admiral, will be of interest to our
readers:
CHARLorrETowS, Prince Edward Isllnd 1lth
May, 1S57.-Dear Sir:-I have received with much
pleasure your letter of the 9Th April and the ac
companying map of the town on Lake Superior
to which you have done me the honor to give the
name Of Bayfield," l little thought when en-
camping there among the Indians, thirty three
years ago that my tent was pitched near the site
Of future town that was to bear my name.
trust that you viii believe me 10 be very much
gratifed by this mark of your kind consideration
and appreciation of my labors in those early
times and that you will accept my sincere thanks

Yours very faithfully.

LECTURE!

The Rev. Burt E. Wheeler, of
Hudson, will visit Superior next Tues
day, and in the evening of that day
will deliver his justly celebrated lect-

Mr.. Wheeler is an able and popular
speaker, and his lecture is replete with
good points of both comical and
serious nature. In speaking of the
lecture the Appleton, Wis, Crescent
SAYS:
Tuesday evening Rev. Burt E.
Wheeler of Hudson, discoursed before
the Lost Race of Boys" Mr.. Wheel
er was the victim of dream, brought
about by reading heavy article in
some magazine on recent discoveries
at Troy or some other equally buried
place, and saw some strange things.
He was transported into the 33d cent
ury or Whereabouts, and found a lot of
antiquarlans surrounding some strange
relics, which proved to be the play
things of lost race, known in our
day as the race of boys. With this as
an introduction the reverend gentle
man proceeded in serio comic vein to
give some FIRST class ideas about the
bows of to-day. He felicitously describ-
ed the boy baby, the young tyrant of
the household, and from the vividness
of the description the audience were
we'll aware that the speaker knew how
it was himself. We intend to ask Mr..
Wheeler sometime whether he was de-
scribing from actual observation the
| inglorious retreat of the father with
pillow and bed quilt. The speaker
proceeded to give the audience glimps-
es Of the growing boy in various stages
of his physical and intellectual prog
ress and ended by giving quantity of
the best advice on the vexed question
of training the young boy of the peri
