years ago AS to New York state, of

sociated press figures are reliable, they
settle New York against Cleveland. The
division in the democratic vote their be

the employment of the latter to work in
the interests of Blaine There is no doubt
that Butler was working for the republi-
can managers.
AT the democratic committee rooms,
while the claims of carrying the state by
over 10000 is still kept up, the further
claim is made that the republicans are
doctoring the returns to deceive the peo-

the republicans one (Brown) with two
districts, the eighth and ninth in doubt

Death OF Willie IL. Warren.

The following letter from Jno. j. Sherman.
conveys the sad intelligence of the death of
Willie B., son of Hon. K. l.. Warren. We
tender to Bro Warren and his stricken fam
lily our heartfelt sympathy in this, their time
of great atfliction:
EDITOR TRUE NoRTHERSER:
DEAR SIR:-You have no doubt heard be-
fore this of the illness of Willie b. Warren,
son of Mr.. and Mrs. Rob't L. Warren. He
died at noon to-day.
About four weeks ago Mrs Warren came to
Lansing accompanied by her children, to
visit her mother and sister who reside here.
About two weeks since the illness of Willie
began and continued with increasing severity
and with intense suffering, until Friday last,
when change for the better was noted and
it was supposed that he was improving.
However, he had not sufficient strength to
enable him to rally, and at u m. to- day he
passed away. In the death of their son, Mr..
and Mrs. Warren and their family suffer
fearful loss and their entire circle of relatives
and acquaintance will feel deep sympathy
for them.
Willie was eleven years of age and was an
unusually bright boy Intellectually as we'll as
physically robust. For these reasons his IN
timely death will, to his parents and friends,
be all the harder to bear. The funeral will
take place on Thursday of this week at
Albion. Very Truly Yours,
JNO J. SHERMAN

Cooks Music ParlOrs.

These are at the corner of Washington
and Second streets, and are fitted up in neat
taste and III manner appropriate to the
place and purpose of the rooms. The
writer had occasion to visit these rooms
few days since, and was most particularly
charmed with the musical proficiency and
surprising genius and ability displayed by
bright IA year old daughter of the professor.
She executed some of the most difficult
music on the piano with an ease, grace, ac-
curacy and expression that was truly aston
ishing. Prof. Cook declares that Miss Nav
has no extraordinary genius beyond a will
lingness to apply herself and readiness to do
hard and continuous work. But the writer
is of the opinion that the young lady pos
sesses special talents and has enjoyed the
careful training of a most competent and
conscientious teacher. Certainly the lady
will create sensation whenever Prof. Cook
shall permit her to perform in public
