The Williamson Enterprise has just
entered upon its 18th year and is
newsier than ever. That its prosperity
is not on the wane is evidenced by the
addition of "A new Cottrell press for

Remember the lectures on Electricity
by Prof. Favour, at the opera house
June and 2. These lectures are Civ

You can't afford to miss these.
There seems to be excellent prospects
of the early establishment of medical
department under the control of the
trustees of Alma college, with locata-
ton in Saginaw. The leading physi-
clans Of Saginaw are in favor, and last
Tuesday delegation of them came be-
fore the board of trustees of the college
and advocated this plan. The depart
ment, if organized, will not draw upon
the resources Of the college, but Will be
taken care of by its promoters. The
idea would seem to he a good one.
The announcement of Rev. a. f..
Bruske that he accepts the presidency
of Alma College to which he was unan-
imously elected by the trustees a few
weeks since is a source of great gratiiica-
ton to the friends OF the college. Mr.,
Bruske has been identified with the
College from its beginning and knows
its wants and condition as well If not
better than any man in the state. lie
has the most thorough faith in It's sue
cess. For many years he has been the
successful pastors of one OF the largest
and most wisely managed churches in
in the state. y church that is noted
for its benevOlence and which is as
thoroughly identified with the interests
Of Alma College, as is the pastor whom
they have reluctantly given to become
its President. MIR. BruSke is man of
marked executive ability, with wide ac
quaintance with men as well as books,
of experience rs a teacher and will
bring large enthusiasm, sagacity and
faith to his work in the college. He
begins such portions of his work as
are Immediately necessary at once and
Will be on the ground at the opening
Of the fall term for full service. The
College is to be congratulated on its
choice.

skin Grating by Machinery.

Saturday morning, at the Massachu-
sets General hospital, little instru-
ment, invented by DR.. Mixter, wonder
full in its simplicity, constructed so az
to separate quite large portions of cpl
dermis from the simultaneous tissue,
was used for the first time.
The patient had been etherized, and had
undergone an operation for the removal
of a cancerous growth from the left
breast, and the wound thus made was
quite an extensive one. The instrument
was applied TO the anterior portion of
the right thigh, and three strips, about
an inch wide by six inches long, were
taken off arl transplanted to the ex-
posed surface Of the breast. The opera
ton Of removing the skin and trans
planting it TO its new quarters did not
occupy more than about six minutes.
\ very few days will suffice to restore
the denuded surface of the thigh to its
normal condition, leaving few traces Of
the reparative process to which it has
contributed, and, other things being
equal, the surface from which the can
cerous tumor has been excised will heal
over by first intention, thus saving the
patient from n prolonged and painful
period of convalescence. OF course, every
precaution is taken, by the use of steril-
izing processes and antiseptic solutions, to
render the operation thoroughly aseptic,
so that the chances of infhlmmatory dis
turbances from bacterial sources are re-
duced TO the lowest minimum.
The thickness of these delicate human
plasters probably does not exceed one
sixtieth Of an inch, and the resulting
hemorrhage is not more than what one
sees on n slight abrasion of the skin, or
it may be compared to the sanguineous
oozing one gets from too earnest tonsorial
attention. Boston Herald.

that he may get another term at the
White House if the people quit
making 'malevolent" remarks about
the New York Times.
Now don't this fool Democrat who
edits the Herald know, or can't his

Got "a $50 Pearl with His Dinner.

Edward Malley was eating dinner al
Heubleins recently, and among the first
dishes served was oysters on the hall
shell. He picked up one of the oysters
with his fork from the shell, and his eye
was attracted by white substance which
had been concealed under the oyster. Ii
was pearl of extraordinary size and ex.
ceptionally fine quality, although it was
entirely III the rough state. 1t was ex.
amined by several gentlemen who werc
present, and it was universally conceded
TO be Il remarkable gem. Mr. Malley
placed its value at SO, and this estimate
was accepted rs being none too high.
He proposes to have it finished up and
mounted. The oyster in which the gem
was found came from one of the local
dealers and was taken from "A bed in the

II is promised that il will not be long
before certain small town in Belgium
is lighted by electricity. IL appears that
thirty years ago the municipality entered
into "a contract with the local gas COM
pany for the public lighting of the town.
II was agreed that the price should he
fixed at $4,000 per annum, the contract
to exist for fifty-five years. Thus the
agreement remains good for another
twenty-five years. The municipality,
seeing around cheaper gas and a more
desirable light in the form of the electric
light, have come to the conclusion that
they are decidedly at a disadvantage.
They say that the price which was con-
sidered just when the contract was made
should now be reduced, as it is excessive
when compared with other towns where
only 81, 900 per annum is paid for the
same amount of light.
As the gas company refuses to reduce
its price, complaints regarding defective
lighting, which had previously been per-
United TO pass unnoticed, are now nu-
merous, the inhabitants entering hearth
ly into the spirit of the situation. Ac-
cording to the latest accounts the gas
company had fallen on troublous times.
The municipality had made up its mind
that if it could not get the gas at rea-
sonable rate it would secure it at low
one, and possibly make profit on the
bargain.
The method adopted is decidedly rigop-
GUS. For every gas jet below the con-
tract candle power fine of forty cents
is imposed; for each square of glass not
properly cleaned, fine of ten cents:
broken glass, ten cents, and for lamp
extinguished caution first and fine
afterward. The campaign is affording
immense qualification to the inhabitants
of that quiet little town, which has sell
dom fallen on such bonanza in the way
of a sensation, and the gas company
seems destined either to make II speedy
change of front or give up its contract.

The Theatrical Season.

Thomas II. Davis, theatrical man.

been remarkable, in that the better elias.

ment than ever before. On the other
hand many of the cheap spectacular and
operatic companies have lost money o,
gone to pieces. The truth is that the
people outside of New York are becom.

performances as can be found in the
metropolis, and any effort on the part Of
cunning managers to 'humbug them

fate of piece. 1t is now no longer the

Every time the Marquis Rudina
attempts to discuss the Italian ques-
ton with Secretary Blaine he finds
himself forced into more ridicul-
Gus position than before. He has
lost his temper, charged Mr.. Blaine
with dishonesty, made silly threats
and done nearly everything that the
premier of a great nation should not
do, and through it all Secretary
Blaine has maintained a dignified,
unruffled demeanor, by the most
merciless logic and politest diplom'
acy exposing Rudini's fallacies and
making the antics of Italian premier
appear the more absurd by contrast.

when one comes to think of it just
see what strides are being made by
the legislature: The house commit
tee the other day reported fayorably
a bill creating the office of food aud

annual salaries amounting to not less
than $4,000 annually; a bill provid
ing a copyest stenographer to each
of the supreme court justices at a
salary of $1,000 amounting to $4,000
annually, and bill increasing the
salary of the supreme court reporter
from $1,000 to $4,000, with clerks
galore. Sometime ago the commit
tee on labor reported bill increas-
ing the statutory annual appropria'
ton for the collection Of labor stats
tics from $4,000 to $4,000. The
ways and means committee conclud-
ed this was more than the dear
people would stand and so reported
favorably on an increase from $4,000
TO $4,000. What an era of economy
and reform this is, to be sure!-
