Bath Birthday.

Hey, Thos, Pnitomley Celebrhtes All
Bath Birthday.
On Saturday last his children mad,
a feast and invited number OF octo
genarian Deighbors and ministerial
brethren 10 celebrate with Mr.. and
Mrs. Brownell the S4th birthday OIL
Rev. Tnos. Boitomley, the beloved
and respected minister and citizen.
There were present of his own family
Mrs. Brownell and little daughter,
Mrs. Morton and Rev. Ed BottoInley,
of Henderson.
The occasion was In every particu-
lar one of great enjoyment and was
marked by that rare, genial humor
the beautiful sense of the "appro.
priateness of things" and the bright,
CHEEKY hopefulness that have ever
characterized the life of Bro. Bottom
ley. The steaming English pudding
recalled the fact that old England
was his birth place, while every sur
rounding was mute witness to an
honoreG and blessed life.
The writer of this, years ago, heard
q thanksgiving sermon from Bro.
Bottomley on the text "Jeshurum
waxed fat and kicked" the like ad-
monition of which, he thinks, in the
presence of the bountiful and well
ordered table doubtless preserved
some of the ministerial brethren In
for the morrow's ministra-
tons. May years BIO spared to him
whose presence is always q pleasure
and whose daily life savors so much
Of the Master whom he serves.

buque, Iowa; tho DetroIts, of Detroit;
the Wolverines. of Detroit; the Catlln

action taken was the changing of the
length of the course from a mile and

shortens the course half a mile

dfed miles of railroad were built.
There IS a good prospect that more
building Will be done IN the peninsula
next year than i'm any single season
previous. Al present Mcintosh Bros.
are building al extension OF the MI

The Chicago u Northwestern, which

next year. This line now mas branches
tapping every mine of the MenOminee

Is enormous. 1t viii transport this
season over two and half million tons
of ore from the mines 10 the docks at
Escanaba. the freight charges on the
same ranging from 90 cents 10 lbs
per ton.
The Minneapolis, Sault ste. Marie Il
Atlantic railroad. known a the 800"
line, Will do something next season IN
the way of building spurs and branch
tracks TO the mines of the Mcnomlnee
range. This year the Milwaukee d
Northern and $500 lines are in part
ncrship on the ore business. The Mil
waukee & Northern collects the ore at
the mines and takes IL TO the $500
junction, where the latter rosd takes IL
and transports It to the new docks at

of land on the bay front at E-csnaba
