Masonic Temple Dedication.

The new temple of the Masonic fraten-
ity is all completed except the finishing
touches, but everything will be in readi-
ness by Friday, when the temple will be
formally dedicated.
At first IL was the intention to send in
vitations to citizens, not masons, to be
present and witness the ceremony, but
that plan was changed, as only a few
could be invited, for want OF room, and
IL was decided best to confine the In
vitations to masons and their lady friends,
as selecting a few citizens from so large
number would cause some discomfort.
The masons and their ladies will number
several hundred, and four hundred is
about as many as can be comfortably en-
tertained. The following Is the pro-
gram:
Entrance Of Grand Lodge
Ode, "Hail Masonry. Masonic Quartstte Club
Request for examination by w. NJ.
Grand lodge procession.
Music "Let There be Light. ouartetts Club

Confusion.
After the dedication Is over, banquet
will be served, and it Is probable that
there will be other amusements.
The dedication will commence about 8
o'clock Friday evening, and the following
comprises the reception committee: G.
L. Maltz, F. G. Holmes, E. o. Avery, M.
N. Bedford and r. J. Kelley.
To members OF Masonic fraternity the
dedication will be a memo rable event.
The hall, parlors, reception rooms, ban
quoting hail. and other rooms, with
their furniture, are the sole property OF
masons, as the third story Of the Masonic
block was built by them. The entire
cost Of erecting the third story and fur
nishing and decorating the rooms will be
about 10000, and we believe there are
but few Masonic temples In Michigan
that excel the one In this city, not only
for the beauty Of the rooms, but also on
account OF the admirable manner they are
designed for the use they are intended.
The programs will be curiosities, being
printed on paper pulp, manufactured in
an Alpena mill, of Alpena wood, and CON-
memorates tho dedication Of an Alpena
edifice.

machine which rounds II and bores hole
through the center. He then shoves the
rounded end against little saw which
cuts of piece as long as the spool is to
DO. The work Is continued until the
strip is all used. The little pieces thus
rounded and bored, are taken to another
employe, who was operating one OF the
spool machines. He takes one OF the
pieces, places II In sort OF lathe, and
then presses lever with his foot which
fastens the two parts OF the lathe to the
future spool. It revolves with immense
rapidity. The operator now pulls anoth-
er lever with his hand, which brings
sharp knife against the piece OF birch,
and the cutting implement Is so shaped
that II cuts tho wood so as to make a
spool. The spool can be made with
a deep or shallow cut, according as the
knife is shaped. The work Of cutting
the hollow In the spool lie done with great
rapidity. There is squirt Of shavings,
the work lie done, and the spool drops In
to barrel beneath. The operator feeds
the machine very rapidly. The spools
are then placed In sort OF barrel and
revolved for hours, and the rubbing they
thus get gives them a polish.
Two Of the other spool machines work
different, and the fourth one, invented by
Mr.. Ansell, has not been fully operated
yet. A large number of spools have al
ready been made, one being known as a
ten yard silk spool, and the other hun
dred yard spool. The spools have to be
made so that given number OF turns
around it will make the required number
Of yards Of thread.

Ansell Spool Factory.

Part of the machinery In tho Ansell
Spool factory was put In operation last
week, and the work Of making spools
commenced. We visited the factory last
Saturday, when one OF the four spool
machines was at work. The work of con-
verting the rough birch sticks into spools
is simple, yet ingenious. The timber
comes to the factory In the shape Of cord
wood. The birch sticks are first sawed
into bolts one inch thick, and then set
Of saws rip the bolts into strips. Each
strip is four feet long, one inch wide and
one inch thick. An employee then takes
one of the strips, inserts the end into

Last Friday farmer was coming to
town with sleigh load of potatoes
When near the city his team ran away
and reached the Washington avenue rail-
road crossing just as the express arrived
there. The horses managed to cross the
track in safety, but the sleigh was caught
by the locomotive sleigh catcher, torn
loose from the horses and carried down
the track rod or two. Potatoes were
planted in the snow alongside the track.
No fault can be found with the engineer
as he could not see the runaway team un-
til too close to the engine to prevent a
collision. The team then ran distracted
ly down the avenue, but came to grief as
they tried to pass over telephone pole,
but their neck-yoke prevented that feat.
One horse turned summersault, and the
other having got free from the yoke, rae
ed further down the avenue. The sleigh
was not much injured.

As regards weather the month of Jf

AS regards weather the month of jan
uary, 1891, has been the most pleasant
January ever known here. The tempera-
ture has been mild, with the exception Of
a few days, and there was just snow
enough to allow sleighs TO be used for
drawing cedar, etc. The snow fall has
been remarkably light, but it has remain
cd like faithful friend. One real warm
day would have destroyed the sleighing
at any time during the month. The citi-
zens here have been very fortunate, be-
cause pleasant temperature combined
with sleighing is not often experienced.
It could not have been much improved,
although about three inches more snow
would have gratified teamsters. Alpena
people have good cause to be thankful so
far.
