Meeting Of the shiawassee County
s. s. Association.

There is one thing evident, that Shia-
wassee County ministers and layman ap-
preciate the Sabbath school. At Laings-
burg were assembled nearly all the clergy
men and the representative Christian
workers. State Sup't Reynolds, who is
also President of the county organization
always inspires these meetings by his in
tense earnestness. Miss Leora Curtis, the
faithful Secretary and DIR. Parkill are also
the almost absolute prerequisites of a
meetings. success. No more faithful or
consecrated Sabbath school worker can be
found than Rev. Jno. Oliver, of Bancroft.
Rev. Spencer Is another worker whose in
domitable energy is infused into the meet
ing. The Revs. Littell, iVanOmmerman,
Clark, Bush, and Way were present to add
words of wisdom and experiehee. Mrs.
Weeks, Mcleod, Smith, Ward, Wyckoff
and others. represented that more numerous
branch of the Sabbath school work. w. J..
McKone, +. l.. Griffith, K. b. Smith, county
secretary Mcbride, representatives of secu-
lar education are also interested In Sunday
school work. The lecture Monday night
was thoughtful, earnest address by Rev.
G. b. Spencer. The session Tuesday morn
ing was begun by devotional exercises.
There can be no attempt to follow the
program or speak of the individual excel
iencies of the papers. They must be heard
and the spirit of the convention felt in order
for full appreciation. During the session
of the association the singing was led by f.
B. Smith and the Lainesburg High School
choir. The lecture Tuesday evening by
Rev. DR.. Hunting, of Alma, was an elo-
quent appeal for temperance The subject
my boy and my girl", appealing to the
better motives of all classes. This address
had the charm of honesty; no one was
abused and temperance action from non
partisan stand point was asked. The lee
ture bore fruits in the report of the COM
mittee on resolutions which was for effective
non-partisan temperance work.
Wednesdays session was a continuation
of the program with added conservation and
devotion. The report of the secretary
showed 10 Sabbath schools i'm the county
| with organizations i'm most of the townships.

WILLIAM 7. HARRIS.
The New Commissioner of EducatiO

The New Commissioner of Education.
The man who succeeded Bronson Alcott
as President of the Concord School of Phi
losophy has been appointed Commissioner
of Education. He is now in Paris attending
by special invitation the educational con-
vention being held in connection with the
Exposition. Professor Harris's reputation
has extended beyond his own country. He
is the author of some articles relating to
education, philosophy and literature which
appear in the latest edition Of the Encyclo-
pedia Britannica.
William T. Harris was student at Yale
up to the close of his Junior year, and after
he became famous that college made him q
master of arts. He went to st. Louis in 1857
as public school teacher and soon made
his mark as student and thinker. The
Philosophical Society of that city was or
ganized by him. 1t attracted the attention
of Emerson, Alcott and other leaders in
thought, who visited the western city in
order to compare ideas with Mr.. Harris and
his associates IN abtruse inquiry and con-
temptation. Another notable outcome of
the society was the establishment of the
Journal of Speculative Philosophy, edited by
Mr.. Harris. Upon the death of Bronson
Alcott, William T. Harris was appointed
his successor as President of the Concord
School of Philosophy
The new Commissioner of Education
manifested executive ability and tact as
Superintendent of Schools in ST. Louis.
His appointment as Commissioner of Edu-
cation is approved strongly.

WEEM'S MARVELLOUS MOTOR.
from the Savannah News. |


For some months paragraphs have ap-
peared now and then in the newspapers
concerning a new railway system by which
mails and light freight may be transported
with a speed much greater than any yet at
tanned by steam-cars, and it WIS announced
the other day that arrangements were be-
ing made to put the system into operation.
The inventor is Mr.. David G. Weems, of
Baltimore, and the motive power is elec-
tricity. About $50 patents have been
given out in the United States and in the
other principal countries of the world, COW
>eriDg the vital points of the system, and
among them is one for principle intended
to make it impossible for trains to jump
the track, however great the speed may be.
The road, as rule will be built on the
surface of the ground, and will have a
guage of twenty four inches, but in the
populous districts it will be elevated if
thought desirable. The cost of construc-
tion will be about $500 a mile. All trains
will be operated from generating stations,
about 100 miles apart, and there are means
by which operators are posted concerning
the exact position of each train from the
time it leaves one station until it reaches
another. A feature of the system is that
no attendants are needed upon the trains.
For the last year repeated experiments
of the system have been made at Laurel,
Md. This experim entail road is circuit of
two miles, with twenty-nine changes of
grade, some of which are very heavy.
From the tests made it is thought that the
trains can be run on a level track at the
rate of three miles minute, or 180 miles
on hour.
If the Weems system can be put into
successful operation it will bring about
revolution in railroad matters. People
who have witnessed the trials at Laurel are
satisfied that it will be success.

MARGARET kendall.
The Noted English Actress to Visit
America.

While cultivated people in England are
bidding Mrs. Kendall goodbye, Americans
appreciative of great histrionic ability are
anticipating the treat in store for them,
when the actress who is described as "the
most conscientious artist on the English
stage" will be seen on this side of the Allan
tic. Representations by Mrs. Kendall ex-
emplify art that is intelligent, delicate and
sympathetic finished and natural. The ac-
trees in private life is fascinating and de-
lightful lady. She was born on March Is,
1848, at Great Grimsby, England, the
youngest of family of twenty-five child
rem born to the same father and mother.
Thomas W. Robertson, author of Caste"
was the eldest of the brood to which she
belonged The family had been on the
stage for seven generations before the ad-
vent of the Robertson family Oftwenty
children. Margaret's father was lawyer,
but he married mate that dearly loved
the theatre, and who placed her darling
little Madge on the boards in the year 1852,
before she was five years old. The first
appearance of the young actress in London
was in 1865. when she played Ophelia and
Desdemona but without particular success
In 1868, however, on her second visit to the
great town, she made hit as Blanche Du-
mont, in the Hero of Romance" She mar
ried, in 1869, William Hunter Grimston,
whose stage name was Kendall. The couple
are prosperous and lead in the production
of what is called the modern drawing
room drama"

A Democrat Who Wanted to be Buried
Where the Devil Wouldn't
Find Him.

Pioneer Press:-Col. John Ely formerly
of Pike county, Missouri, now North Da-
kOta stockman, was Democratic member
of the Dakota Legislature three or four
years ago. He fell desperately ill during
the session and was having rather rough
time, with only such attention as Tom Ed
Olson and other well-meaning but unskilled
friends could give him. Edison walked in
one day and asked:
"Well, John, how are you getting on?"
Poorly, mighty poorly, Tom. Pm afraid
Pm going TO die," said Ely.
II don't know but you will" replied
Edison. You look awful bad, John"
II know it. know it," said Ely. And
in few moments he added. tom, there
is one thing want you to do for me if 1
die
What's that?" asked Edison in SYM
pathetic tone. getting ready to receive a
death bed commission
Tom" said Ely, IF die, want you to
see that am buried in Norwegian bury
ing ground"
"Wha-wha-what's that forl" ejacu-
lated Edison.
Because" said Ely, without break in
his solemn manner, because the devil will
never think of looking for Democrat
among the Norwegians."
