The foregoing was taken down on the
spot by the reporter Of the Advertiser
and Tribune, who said OF the scene:
Members were fesrfally excited and
nothing but the gray locks OF the
81 eaker and his emaciated countenance
saved hlm from violence" lie adds
further: "When It was concluded I.
". Fitehfeld, Of Oakland, the Free
Press reporter, and other Democrats
gathered around hlm and compliment
ed him for his speech"
Another significant fact reported OF
the occasion Is this: "Close beside him
on the side seats, sat 5. L. KILBoURS.
a stripping supreme court clerk, who
cheered Mr.. Pcatt vociferously." And
the present Hon. ;. L. Kllbourue was
one OF the eulog.sts OF Gen. Sherman
and Admiral Porter and the great and
noble services they rendered IN aiding
that "damnable abohuoaist TO admin
ster the government" IN us integrity,
South as well as North.
II was during the same exciting
scenes that Gov. Winans made his
unenvlable record also. But times
have changed. The Free Press IS
'trooly loil" paper. Kllbournc IS the
cu!ogist of Sherman and Porter and
Winans is governor Of Michigan.
The recent Woman's congress among
other things adopted resolutions call
ing for suggestions for q business cos.
tune tor women. The Brooklyn Times
makes these suggestions: GA business
woman-and all women worth consider
ing merit thatappellation at least part of
the time-should wear clio thinga as light
as is consistent with warmth and as
simple as is consistent with beauty.
She should neither wear forty pounds
of Jet beads to fetter her ner gew-gaw
oranmentation which put beauty at q
disadvantage and make plsinness
hideous. She should have stout shoes,
rubber boots when necessary and q
Macintosh. Her dress should end not
less than four inches above the ground
and be loose so that she can pick up a
paper off the floor or take down book
FROM shelf foot and q half above
her head with perfect comfort. The
cloak should not be of fur, which is
too heavy, but of cloth, plain in ap.
pearance, giving full liberty to the
arms, and provided with change
pocket at least; perhaps others.
KENT county should have a new
county house. The present house oc,
cupied by Macarthur and family and
fifty-seven inmates is far from being
comfortable and is really dangerous
The smartest of people in case of a fire
in hotel or theatre easily become panic
stricken and fall an easy victim TO the
fiend, fire. What, then, must be ex
pected of the small army of the feeble
minded, bedridden and aged people
who are herded together in buildInl
that would certainly be condemned i
within. the corporate limits of Granc
Rapids. Kent county needs new
county building and it is to be hoped
the people will vote the necessary
funds at the coming spring election.
IT is safe to say that If the Office O
game warden IS abolished by the pres
ent Legislature it will not be done unit
towards the very end of the session anc
the bill will not be given immediate
effect. Hampton viii be allowed Il
