K. O. T. N. Celebration.

Last Thursday was memorable day
with the members of the X. o. T. M. in
this city. Then it was that they celebrat-
cd the tenth jubilee, and did so in man.
ner not only interesting to the order, but
to the citizens generally.
In the evening the three fonts, headed
by band, paraded along several OF the
principal streets, there being 273 members
In the parade. After the parade was over
the members adjourned to the Opera
House, where fine and interesting pro-
gram was rendered. Unpublished it last
week, and there is no need Of repeating.
The Opera House was not able to hold
half the people who desired to be present.
The ladies of the L. D. T. M. furnished
supper in the Armory, and were well pa
tronized.
The same night social ball was given
at the rink by Granite tent, and it proved
q great success, both as pleasurable
event, and also as regards the number
who attended.
The tenth jubilee Of the society Is one
that will long be remembered.

The Holt Trouna.

Last Monday night Clarence E. Holt
and company commenced their weeks
season at the Opera House. The drama
presented was the Gladiator" and it
was represented by Mr.. Holt and company
in manner that pleased the audience
and won for him and them the warm ap-
prevail of those who had the pleasure Of
being present. Mr.. Holt is we'll known
in this city, both as an actor Of great
merit, and us gentleman with whom it
is pleasure to be acquainted. He has
many friends here, who warmly wish him
success.
From Mr.. Holt good acting was ex-
pected, and as Nero" the gladiator, he
fully sustained the high expectations
formed. In the arena scene, especially,
his work was artistic, and he gave one OF
the best dramatic representations ever
produced In this city. The scene repre-
sents where, In the arena, he Is ordered
to slay Christian maiden, and then dis
covers her to be his own daughter His
pleading with the Roman populace, not
to be compelled to kill his daughter, was
grand exhibition Of dramatic art.
The character Of "Faustina," the Ro-
man empress, was represented by Maude
Durand, and that lady did most excel
lent work. In the scene with "Flavian,'
where she pleaded her love and was re-
iected, she exhibited great ability, and
displayed a dramatic power not often
excelled. She is a most worthy actress.
The remainder of the characters were
well rendered, and the result was an
evening Of enjoyment to the many peo-
pie present. Mr.. Holt was called before
the curtain, and many Of the scenes were
warmly applauded.

AS regards the rumor concerning the
removal of the public library from the
store of Miss f. G. Mason to the new
Central school building, we trust the
Board OF Education will not make the
change. 1t is perfectly satisfactory
where it is, and as long as Miss Mason is
willing to allow the library to be where
it now is, and continues to take charge
Of it, we hope 1t will remain there. The
time will come when it will be moved to
some public building, but the necessity
for such action has not arrived. To
place the public library in the Central
building will cost the tax payers many
hundreds Of dollars more per year than
1t does now, and not be as convenient.
The library is not school library, but a
public library, and should be kept where
it will best accommodate the public at
large in the city.

The fog bell at the mouth Of the river
does not give satisfaction to steamboat
captains, as they have not been able to

not hear the bell, and had to work his way
into the river without Its guiding tones.
To make 1t useful 1t should be improved.
AS 1t Is now, 1t is Of more damage than
good, because captains, believing it can
be heard, place reliance on it, and are thus

plished the great feat of making the trip
to Rogers City and return, leaving this
city early Sunday morning and returning
the same day. They rode the Rambler
safety bicycles with cushion tires. The
entire distance travelled was SO miles, and
we doubt II there is team Of horses in
the city that can cover the same distance
in the same time and come out uninjured.
The roads are not good ones for bicycles,
being too rough, with considerable sand
and corduroy.
