The Famous Temple.

Like mushroom at night the lem
pie of Fame sprang up in the Opera
House and, after existing for two eve-
nings, as suddenly vanished from NOR
tai ken.
1t seems to be regarded as great
success, but as we were decidedly 'in
it," our plaudits might be out of place
and we will therefore content ourselves
with merely saying that the stage itself
looked like veritable temple. Both
the design and execution of the lovely
decorations were due to Mrs. Will Mil
Ter, who possesses special talent in
this direction and on this occasion
quite over-shadowed all her previous
efforts.
The ladies wish publicly to express
their thanks to Messrs. Broughton,
Cummings, Sellick, Koons, and Neff for
the draperies and rugs SO kindly lent,
and also to Miss Dora Smith for her as
sistance in drilling the little girls who
filled so charming part in the pro-
gram.
Assistance was also given in many
ways by the young gentlemen who
acted as guards, as also by Marquis
Eaton; and last, but by no means least,
comes Miss Sabra Stanton who, as pi-
anist, so patiently practiccd with the
little girls dance and song, with Miriam
and her maidens in their beautiful GYM
bal dance, and with the final chorus.
To one and all who assisted us, the
officers add a hearty" thank you" and,
since most of the actors are members
of the Ladies' Aid Society, they will re-
jo'ce with us to know that, though our
expenses were over $50, we still expect
to have clean 800 left with which to
make the society purse bulge in aston
ishment over its unwonted attack OF
plethora.

Several of our best citizens were
called to Cassopolis last week to testify
to the good character of Henry Cross,
who removed from this immediate vi
cinity to Dowagiac about two years ago,
and was there arrested for criminal as

oils. The result was glorious acquit-
tai, the jury being out only a few min
utes.
We have known for some time that
Hon. A. Is. Copley was reveling in the
flower-laden breezes of Florida, but did
not suspect that he was also enjoying
the balmy atmosphere of the honey
moon, until we noted in the Decatur

cago, on Feb 30, to Mrs Emma Pritch-
ard. The NORTHERNER extends con-
gratulations and trusts this sunny be-
ginning may be typical of their future.
Too late for publication last week,
came the news of the death, in Porter

who it may be remembered was called
here early in Jan. on account of her
severe illness. Deceased was loving,
true friend, whose earthly remains now
repOse on the western slope of beautl-
full Prospect Hill.

coming tor" In reply let us assure
Brother Blackman that there will pro-
badly be less need of Keeley Institute

On last Friday evening at Grange
Hall the time was devoted to appropri-
exercises in honor of the deceased Past
Master, Earle w. Bartram
A resolution presented by K. A.
Wildey recalled the worth and good
deeds OF the late patron, expressed fra
ternal sympathy with the bereaved
relatives, and called attention to the
silver lining of grief's dark cloud in the
following words;-
Let us therefore remember that this
ministration of sorrow has within it
serious joy. That there is healing in
the bitter cup, as we are led to look
forward to reunion in another world,
thus making the evening of life more
delightful than its morning, just as the
sunset offers bright and lovelier visions
than those we see in the morning clouds
which disappear before the strength of
the noon-day sun"

A Boom for Van Buren, County.

The following letter contributed by
one OF our prominent farmers is well
worthy OF careful consideration, and
we will gladly give space to all replies
calculated to aid in some movement of
the kind suggested:
Editor Northerner;-N Never having
seen anything in your columns regard
ing an exhibit by Van Buren, County at
the Columbian Exposition, l would like
to offer a few suggestions. We have a
board of Worlds Fair Commissioners
appointed by the Governor that can
secure us space in the building erected
by our State; and as the appropriation
made by the last legislature, under the
present management, will prove inadi-
quate for the purpose of representing
the resources of the state, let alone
county exhibits, it seems to me entirely
proper that a subscription should be
raised by the citizens that, if carefully
applied, would go far towards plac-
ing the resources of our county in ia
vOrable light before the great number
OF visitors sure to be attracted from all
parts OF the world. Assuming these
preliminaries arranged, the plans for
exhibits will naturally follow, and as L
feel interested in The matter, would of
fer the following crude plan, hoping
your readers will criticise and offer
suggestions, until the matter is
thoroughly discussed and a definite
conclusion arrived at.
1t is unlikely that we will be able to
secure space enough to display any
where near all our resources at one
time, SO it seems to me, to give
them all fair representation, they
might be exhibited in their season; thus
we might make a display of our small
fruits and early vegetables, and these in
turn be followed by an exhibit of our
small grains and grasses; then the
autumn fruits, vegetables, and grains
these arranged by the skillful hands of
the ladies, would make an attractive
and instructive display and it would
not he monOtonous. Photographs of
our beautiful lakes and woodland seem
cry, and pictures of some of the grand
trees still standing might find place
there. Our Live Stock Breeders, Po-
mologists. Horticuturists, Nursery
men, and all those who depend upou
an outside market might find c0ntin-
ious display advantageous to their in
terests, which might be encompassed in
this way.
Let an attractive pamphlet he pre-
pared containing, for instance, in the
way of statistics, the number of cars of
grain, live stock, etc, shipped from the
different railroad stations. Lawton
might give the number of tons of
grapes, baskets of peaches, ETC., ship
ped; Decatur her celery shipment;
Bangor her vegetable Shipment, the
other towns giving prominent places to
their principal industry, and so all be
interested in the matter. The pam
phlet might contain cuts of vineyards,
peach orchards, breeding establish
ments, and other items of interest that
will naturally suggest themselves to
those interested. A number of these
distributed daily would advertise our
resources. and I think be of financial
benefit to every resident of our county.

LORIN F. DELAND.


the line at one side of the field and ran Mt
full speed toward the line and Yale's terri
tory At the same time five lighter men
in single file, like the others, started in
similar manner from the other corner of
the field. Between the two lines ran
fake runner, who seemed to Yale to be the
man who was to get the ball. The two
lines of men, running at high speed, finally
= came together, forming wedge protecting
the real runner, who had the ball. and this
wedge crashed it's way score of yards into
Yale's territory.
The flying wedge did not win the game
for Harvard but it is said to be very con-
fusing to an opposing team, and Harvard
will continue to use it. In the freshmen
game, which was fought out to n draw,
Harvard used Deland's ''crsscross," which
is foremost at the start, much like the
wedge, but the two lines of men continue
on in their course, and no wedge is made.
The light runners merely do their sprint
ing to confuse the enemy, while the real
runner, with the ball, is with the heavy
line. At the freshmen game Brewer, of
Harvard, turned Yale's end with this new
play and gained forty yards before he was
doomed. Deland is an expert mathema-
tican and the husband of the famous nov
