BRIDGEPORT.
MORALS OF BRIDGEPORT.

The prosperous city of Bridgeport has with all it's police protection, arrived a such pass that, instead of the law up holding the morals of the city, they le vice and immortality run wild before thei eyes, until at last the church has taker hold of the matter.
 At the morning service at Chris church, Rector Beverly K. Warner preach ed long sermon to his astonished con gregation about the evils of the city anC also how the people kept silence and were afraid to come right out and de nounce it, flor fear of either injurng theil business or losing political office.
 At the East Washington Baptist church, Rev Pinkham, the pastor, on his way to church, stepped into an open sa' loon, walked up to the bar and bought a bottle of beer, which he took to church with him and, placing it on table near the pulpit, for the benefit of his congre. gation, delivered powerful sermon, ex- plaining how he had procured it, that this particular saloon was open on Sun- day and was not only selling to adults, but also to minors, notwithstanding Bridgeport's noble police force.
 Perhaps the prosecuting attorney may have the proprietor arrested and fined.
 There is no doubt that if the churches and the press take up tho fight, it can be but a few years before this city will be no license city, notwithstanding the hard fight saloon keepers and city off, cials may make. Expect little help from them.
 How can Bridgeport's prominent busi- ness men and city fathers, nearly all of whom have grown daughters and sons, allow themselves to not only patronize, but approve and aid these low dives and places to exist?
 If the citizens of Bridgeport would re- alize what they are tolerating, they would at the Spring election, for the sake of their wives and children, go to the polls with the determination that they would put in a vote for no license, even if they did not care to vote on anything else.
 Strangers visiting Bridgeport learn that politics are governed by the saloons and any politician who is put in office, if he does not obey the laws of the saloon, will have his head cut off. What an honor for respectable citizens to hold of- flee!
 Does it seem possible that any man
 
 with family growing up could be Will- ing to allow his children to live in such city, where, when they become of age, they will become a disgrace and dis honor to his name?
 If all of the pastors of Bridgeport's churches would Join hands and openly and fearlessly preach, each Sunday until election day, they would without doubt bring many hundreds of prominent men to their senses, show them the errors of their ways and the no license vote would be large, next April.

SOUTHPORT.

E. S.Bennetto has moved to Stratford.
 J. F. Wannemaker, superintendent of the Silver Pick mine in the Mt Wilson district, has returned from Durango, where he has been attending to business connected with the future shipping of ore from the Silver Pick to the smelter in that city. He reports the Pick as showing up some very rich bodies of high grade ore and places an estimate on the ground now blocked out and ready for stopiDg to be worth at least $100, ,000. During 1891, this property, he says, ship ped something over $25, 1000 worth of high grade, but as the mine is situated high up on the mountains, the shipping season is limited to less than three months per year on account of the snow and it is therefore uncertain to predict very large output, even there was $l00, GOO in ore blocked out and ready to be mined. MT Wannemaker has made a conservative examlnation of the ground and finds that tramway can be built at an expense of less than $10,000, which, once in operation, would make it possi- ble for the mine to be extensively oper- ated the year around and also make saving the first year of 50 per cent. on the money necessary to construct the tramway. The management now pays $2 per ton to have the ore packed down to the terminus of the wagon road and one third more to have supplies packed up to the mine. This could be reduced to 25c per ton each way, to say nothing about other benefits that would accrue to the property with tramway to the tunnel workings. The force was reduc- ed to eight men recently, owing to the scarcity of coal and timber for the mine of desired length. These difficulties would be obviated by the construction of tramway. The pockets of the stock holders would be equally remunerated and the Silver Pick would soon be recog- nized as one of the heavy shippers of the section. The ore extracted contains zinc, iron, lead, copper and antimony and aver ages little over $200 per ton.-[ Rico News.

Athena will Celebrate.

The committee on subscription for the
celebration Of the Fourth of July, have
already met with such success that there
is no longer any doubt as regards cele-
brating that day in a proper manner in
this city, and the various committees are
vigorously at work arranging the details
for grand time.
In addition to the usual procession and
fireworks, there will be sports and races
at the fair grounds, open to the Alpena
people only, that is, no inducement will
be made to get experts from outside.
There will be horse races, bicycle races
and all kinds Of athletic sports. The
bicycle club will be given the manage
ment Of the bicycle races, and the Y. M.
G. A. will probably attend to the athletic
sports, for which the members are very
capable.
All children will be admitted free to the
fair grounds, but adults will be charged
a small entrance fee. In fact special Of
forts will be made to make the day a
pleasant one for the young people.
1t now becomes the duty Of all who
are interested in the welfare Of this city
and county, to render every assistance In
their power to make the Fourth of July a
day that will long be remembered for the
pleasant and enjoyable memories con-
nected with it. Let us put our shoulders
to the wheel and give helping hand, and
success is assured. Let us make the pa
triotic eagle scream with delight and give
the young folks real good old fashion
ed July celebration. For one day why
cannot those who are no longer young
put aside age and business and become
again young. 1t will help to smooth the
wrinkles Of time, and not only will it pro-
vide our people with a days enjoyment,
but it will keep many Of the people from
going to other places, and will also bring
many persons from outside to this city.

Broom Maker Company.

James A. Reilly and his Broom Maker
company appeared at the Opera House
last Saturday evening, to large audience.
1t was the second visit of the troupe to
this city. The company gave a very
pleasant entertainment, but to those who
had heard them on their first appearance,
the singing OF Mr.. Reilly did not come up
to expectations. j. X. Bedard, as Jerry,
was as entertaining as on his first ap-
pearance, and the same can be said OF
May Templeton's work, and especially in
regard to her song, 1.-THE Flower Girl"
Robbie Reilly is great attraction.
A comedy like the Broom Maker is one
that is well worth seeing, but it is hardly
strong enough to be heard a second time.
1t has fair plot, but Its great attraction
Is the songs OF Johann and Gretchen, and
the comedy work Of Jerry.

The Latest Dancing Wonderments.

Following close upon Miss Loie Fuller's
success as novelty dancer, comes what
seems to be the greatest sensation OF the
season In the newly imported English
dancers, the Sisters Leigh" whose mar
velous feats and wonderful physical re-
semblance have set all New York crazy
and is rapidly filling their pockets with Un-
Gle Sans coin. Their success is possibly
as much due to their great resemblance
to each other as to their skill as dancers,
although without either they could not
have organized their famous Delusion
Dance, which is their most astounding
performance. Those who have seen this
dance say IL Is apparently an impossible
ity, and until the finale when the truth is
made apparent, the audience are perfect
ly stunned with wonderment. They arc
coming West with the ooh, What Night
Co." and will possibly appear here.
