that the first "Haystack mountain

week to camp and live on the delic-

in the vicinity. A second camp was
also made at Crystal Lake, and there
they enjoyed "sugaring Off similar

Hurrah for Cleveland l will say

Barrow about Thurman. don't care
anything about him, and for the best
reason in the world-he don't care
anything about me. He hurt my feel
ings with malice aforethought. He
made Hong Kong goose of himself
about Henry R. Jackson's speech in
Macon and our tribute to Mr.. Davis,
and when it was all explained, he
didn't have the manliness to make a
decent apology. He is little too up
pity and biggity for us common folks.
He thinks he is Jupiter and we are
nothing but a moon. What was said
or done at Macon was none of his
business. He was hunting around
and snuffing the air for treason and
thought he had found it, and SO he
fired off an alarm gun and paved dirt
and throwed mud and-and so I've
lost about 80 per cent of my respect
for him and the other ten for his red
bandana. When we elect Mr.. Cleve-

extends from Baptism to Billberry-637
pages, large type, handsome cloth binding
for 80 cents. or in elegant half Morocco

The great merit of the Cyclopedia is its
adaptation to practical use; giving under
each proper head the information most
likely to be needed, and in concise, easily
available form. Careful examination lin
presses one with its accuracy, as well as
the remarkable fullness of its informa-
ton. For actual use it abundantly an
swers the needs of al. save those whose
pursuits require exhaustive study of GER
tain subjects. The combination of Una
bridgcd Dictionary and Cyclopedia is a
wonderful convenience. Each volume, as
it comes to the readers hands Invariably
renews the surprise felt that book so
well got up can be afforded for price so
low. Whoever wants Cyclopedia-and
who does not?-would do well to order at
least specimen volume, which may be
returned if not wanted. Reduced prices
are offered to early subscribers for COM
plete sets, which are to consist Of 80 or
more volumes, the volumes being issued at
intervals of about month, The work Is

Twenty-four women have graduated

Twenty-four women have graduated
as lawyers in Michigan this year.
The entire cost of the recent Meth
odist Conference was about SIS, 900.
Everybody seems to have got their
moneys worth except the women who
were not admitted as delegates. They
got only their labor for their pains, as
far as the conference went, but the
cause of equal rights got big boom
in their rejection which will bear fruit
in future.-Lowell Times.
The good service that James Free
man Clarke rendered to the cause of
women suffrage was not mentioned in
the obituary notices of him in the
daily papers. Surely this should not
have been omitted. Years ago, when
the idea Of equal rights for women
was covered with odium, not under
stood and misunderstood, DR.. Clarke,
accepted the presidency of the Massa-
chusetts Woman Suffrage Associa-
ton, and aided it with all his great
and benign influence. He held the
office until the old odium had largely
passed away from the suffrage cause,
and then declined a reelection, but
always continued to support the
movement, both with voice and pen.
His latest article on the subject, writ.
ten only few weeks before his death
will soon be issued as tract. "He
being dead, yet speaketh. "-Woman's

She was giving one of those delight

them all in fine position and had told
each one to think moment and be
ready to tell her one thing about the
cat when she called for the answer.
Among the many raising hands she
selected one boy, because she "knew
by the looks of his eye that he knew
good deal" And, sure enough, he
did, for he shouted out: "Mrs. Par

John Howard Payne's tragedy, "Brutus,
or the Fall OF Tarquin," was the attraction
presented last night by Frederick Warde
and company. 1t was given with a strong
cast OF characters and made a most favor
able impression. Mr., Warde appears to
advantage in the leading role, it being a
heroic part suited to Mr. Wardes style of
acting. At the matinee today Mr. Warde
will appear in his new drama, "Gaston
Cadol" which gives him an opportunity
TO display his abilities in other than tragic
lines At night damon and Pythias"
will be the closing attraction Of the engage
ment, and will be performed under the
auspices Of the Knights OF Pythias Of the
city. The play Was first produced in
America in 1898, in New York, Edwin
Forrest and Thomas A. Cooper playing the
title roles. Later Forrest and Mccullough
appeared together as Damon and Pythias,
and more recently Mccullough and Warde
were associated in the same parts.
