Beware of Imita-
tons of our Six Step
Steel Flange made in
Cast Iron.

The Door Frames and Jams of these safes
are made of NJ ALLEABLE ROLLED STEEL,
of great tensil strength, crimped and rolled
into six offsets or flang' s, for which the Com
pany holds exclusive patent. Tie advantage
of our methods are as follows:
The thinness of the metal which connects
the outside box with the inside box, The
toughness ofthis metal which forms the door
frames and jams; the close fitting of the door
frame to the jamb; The position OF the bolt
work on the inner fiange of the door; The
round corners of the safe. All other safes
made i'm the United States have Cast Iron
door frames and jambs, which metal must be
strength, thus furnishing direct avenue for
thu introduction of heat to the inside of the
safe, while, thick as II is, IL Is constantly
cracking, especially when exposed to fire.
OWING to lis well-knOwn briltleness.
BY the use of this thin steel, we have solved
the problem ofhow to make the front of q safe
rs invulnerable to fire as its other walls. The
unequal contraction CT cast iron i'm cooling
renders ii impossible to fit the door casting TO
the jamb casting with eloseness and regulari
ty-a glaring evil which our system obviates
The position of the lock and bolts render il
easy to keep both in order. while at the same
time they are far more difficult to be tambered
with when the SAT" is lock. The filling, by
this sy stem, begins at the extreme outside of
the door, while by the old system OF placing
the lock. and boltwOrk Immediately under the
outer plate of the door. the heat was allowed
unobstructed about half through the door.
The fire-proof Milling is OF such nature that
the contents OF safe are surely protected
through any fire to which burning building
can expose 1t. Tn" round corners give double
the protection against the bursting of a safe
by a heavy fall AS the full strength of the
welded hoops is thus preserved, while in safe
with square corners the rectangular bend in
the hoops Is n constant source of weakness
and danger. These safes are i'm use through
out the length and breadth of our land, as
well as in the couRtries # the Eastern Hem s.
phcre; they have been everywhere exposed
to fires of all kinds incident to human expert
ence but there has never been a single case
where they have failed to protect their con-
tents against loss or dana from heat. hence
we do nor fear to assert that they are the best
hre-proOf safes in use, and while they are fin
ished in all their appointments with great
h oroughness and beauty, we arc able: on ac-
count of great facilities for manufacturing,
to offer them at q price so reasonable that we
think no one who has books. papers or valua-
bes to protect should he without one.l

NORTHERN TRIBUNE.
SATURDAY. JANUARY 10. 1884.
Japanese Tea Party.

The Episcopal social held at the resi-
dence of Mrs. j. ii. Waterman on Thurs
day evening, was an enjoyable affair.
About $50 persons put in an appearance
and participated in the varied means of
happiness usually adopted in ChebOygan,
on such occasions, and all were delight
ed, many remaining till early morn
and as about 200 tickets were sold the
finances came out solid. Each ticket
was good for cup and saucer. All our
churches were represented,a high encOn-
ium on Cheboygan's social feeling.
The singing by Miss Paddock, and also
that Of Geo. Fax,was finely rendered, and
apprsciatively encOred. The recitations
by Mr.. Brown, our gifted elOcuIiOnist,
were given in his usual happy style,
and enthusiastically applauded, Ex-
cellent refreshments were served in
abundance, and if "the proof of the pud-
ding il in the eating" it was evident the
elegant repast, was appreciated and en-
jOyed agreeably by all. Mr.. WATERWAYS
fine residence beng unusually ample,
and adapted to the entertainment of a
large company, everything passed off fe'
licItiOusly, and most tremendously.
Notwithstanding the rooms were appar-
emily full, there was no crOwdlng. AL
together, We believe those who failed to
be present, missed delightful social
time. We understand the funds raised
on the occasion, are to be appropriated
to the liquidation of a small debt still
unpaid, incurred in the erection of st.
James church, and We congratulate the
ladies on the success Of their under
taking.

Two ladies in bangs and waves, with
jewelry, lace, etc., sat waiting until af-
ter IL O'clock to go 10 the Episcopal so
cial, Thursday evening, but the gentle
man brought neither the sleigh or him
self. There was an explosion, cyclone
and earthquake, over the dissapoint-
ment, coupled with the idea that it
would soon be Lent, when one will have
to be good, and that such good leap
year opportunity was missed. The ladies
told us our necks would be broken If we
gave them away, and they meantit.

Here, Tige p She had the opportunity she sought. The self-made got only a glimpse of Tige coming up the yard, with his splendid set of teeth on free exhibi- tion. It was enough, and the self-made made off without stopping to finish his meal. He exerted himself on this oc- casion if he never had before. He was soon out of sight; quiet again reigned about that homestead, and Tige wan dered about the yard with piece of the self-made mans coat-tails clenched in his relentless jaws.-EUery Other Sat aGrday.

The Skye Crofters.

The recent troubles in Skye with the crofters, says a Scotch newspaper pub fisher, grew out of the unjust land laws, which with little or no change have been in force for great number of years. The land lords have been fencing in certain strips of land which the crofters have used for grazing purposes. The privileges of the crofters have been curtailed, but their rent has not been reduced. What the crofters want is a reduction of the excessively high rents and some adequate protection in their landed interests and improvements. The fact that they have been badly treated is beyond dispute. The outbreak shows that they have canse for complaint, but it does not seem to have been necessary to have sent force against them. They are orderly, aw-abiding people in the main, and there is little danger of a serious conflict The crofters are few in numbers, and they would not under take to offer an armed resistance to the authorities for any length of time. do not think there would have been an out break of any kind if the crofters had not been aroused by agitators some of whom came from America.

THE MIGNONETTE SURVIVORS.
They are Sentenced to Death, but the Quee
 Is Advised to Respite Them.

Captain Dudley and the mate of the wrecked English yacht Mignonette, who were found guilty of murder in killing the boy Parker for food to keep themselves alive, were sentenced to death. 1t is believed that they will certainly be pardoned.
 The courtroom was crowded, and the scene during the pronouncing of sentence was most impressive. Lord Chief Justice Coleridge read the judgment of the Court, citing au- thorities at great length. The Court de- clared that the taking of human life could only be justified on the plea of sef-defence. The commission of mur- der for the sake of preserving ones own life was unjusti6able. Of course it was duty to preserve one's own life, but duty often re- quired one not to save but to sacrifice his own life. The Court must apply the law and de- clare that the prisoners were guilty of wllful murder, for which there was no justification. If this judgment was too severe, the Court must leave the prisoners to the clemency of the Crown.
 The prisoners were asked what they had to say before sentence was pronounced. Both Capt. Dudley and Mate Stephens pleaded for mercy in view of their terrible situation when the deed was done.
 Lord Coleridge said it was the jury's priv ilege to recommend the prisoners to mercy, and then he sentenced them to be hanged, but without the black cap.
 Sir William Vernon Harcourt, Secretary of State for the Home Department, has advised the Queen to respite Capt. Dudley and Mate Stephens.

The Bankruptcy Bill.

Representative Collins, of Massachu- setts, has charge of the bill reported from the House Committee on the Judi ciary at the last session providing for new bankruptcy law. In an interview with a reporter he said: "An effort is be- ing made to learn if members who were opposed to the measure have changed their minds since the recent election. On May 19 an effort WAS made to con- sider the bill in the house, under sus- pension of the rules, or to have day set apart for it's consideration. A two thirds vote was necessary. The vote stood-137 to 93, and, of course, the ob- feet of the friends of the bill was defeat ed. It will be necessary to secure 20 or 30 votes from the opponents of the meas ure to pass 1t. The greatest opposition is from the South and West. Indiana, Missouri and Kentucky are almost sol idly opposed to it. Without securing the necessary two-thirds vote to get a suspension of the rules there is no hope for the bill. It is on the calendar and in such position that it will be impossible to reach it at so short a session. An at- tempt to suspend the rules will be made in the early part of January"

MEssRs. MASON & HAMLIN bid fair to be- come as famous for their Upright Pianos as they have long been for their world renowned Cabinet Organs Having experimented sew tral years at great expense, and with the as- sis ance of probably us able a corps of experts as can be found ill any factory in the world, they have succeeded in producing piano which has elicited the warmest encomiums from the best judges. The distinguishing feature about it is an important improve Inent in the method of "stringing" the piano, which originated in their own factory The strings are secured by metallic fastenings, instead of the friction of rfns set in wood, as has been the ease, and the advantages resulting are numerous and highly important; among them are the following: Wonderful beauty and musical quality of tome, far less liability of getting out of tune, greater reliability ill trying climates, and greater solidity of construction and dura- bility. Mason & Hamln have made 150O00 organs, They can hardly expect to make as many pianos, but they will doubtless be called upon to make a very large number.-Boston JrdpeLter
