CROSSE ISLE.
AID. Gray Writes Description of
the Famous Island

the Famous Island.
Aid. Gray, as member of the health
board. visited with the other members
the Eastern and Canadian quarantine
ports. He was SO struck with Crosse
Isle that he has written an excellent
article, giving description Of the
famous island and the manner in which
the inhabitants live and the work of the
quarantine officials is accomplished.
The following is q brief extract, the
lack of space forbidding the publica-
ton of the entire article:
"Grosse Isle (Grose cell The i'm
portance of this point to our city and
state and to the whole Northwest has,
it seems to me, not been fully realized.
1t is the inlet to the great northern
highway of immigration to our country
by a large number from Northern
Europe. At this time. when danger
turks in the baggage of immigrants, in
caIgoes OF rags, and in anything and
everything that has been exposed in
infected ports, 1t may be of interest for
the reading public TO become better
acquainted with this romantic and his
toric isle. When we arrived at Quebec,
although our papers were from high
sources. both United States and Can
adian, there seemed TO be reluctance
on the part of the mayor of Quebec and
other local and provincial officers to
allow US to visit Crosse Isle. However,
a telegram to DR.. MontiZambert, super
intendent of quarantine, brought the
reply, Shall be pleased to see you,

and stated where his boat would be the
next morning to convey US to the isle.
Crosse Isle is situated thirty-one
miles below Quebec. 1t is of slate rock
formation with very little soil, but nearly
all covered with varied growth OF
trees both deciduous and evergreen. 1t
is five miles from the shore on one side
and twelve on the other and mile and
half from the fairway ship course.
There are large number of residen:
employees, each family having their cot
tage and allowed to keep two cows for
their own use. the superintendent using
the milk for the patients in the hospital
when needed.
"One OF the most remarkable things
noticed by me was the perfect discipline
at the station, discipline plain to be
seen, borne and held by the employees
confidence which they had for their
superior officer. While watching the
long, smoking rows of rags, l asked:
DIR. MontiZamhert,w who pays Tor these
rags?" He smiIingly replied: II don't
know, the lawyers may fight over that,
my business is to keep you people free
OF cholera. and if | knew of no other
way of disinfecting the ship l should
burn her."
Passing from the burning rags on
our way to the disinfecting wharf our
attention was called to a monument.

In the building a short distance from
the wharf were 100 boys, who had been
picked up on the streets of London.
Each one had been furnished with his
little box of clothing. their passage paid
and home found for each of them in
the provinces. L have often thought
what bright, new world it must seem

The report of the committee tells of
the steamers Challenger and the Druid,
and the work they accomplished there.
L wish to note here that the Druid had
only been in service six days; that the
dlsinfecting apparatus on the wharf
had been at work less time. so that
week previous TO our visit Crosse Isle
was totally unprepared for cholera. In
the superintendent office is a tele-

FOOT BALL AT THE "U".
Succeeding Games Will Be Played
on the Campus.

on the campus.
A mass meeting of the students was
held on the steps of the Law building
Saturday morning after chapel to de-
eide as to whether the coming foot ball
game should be played at the base ball
park. as heretofore, or on the univer-
sity campus. and the decision
of the students was unanimously
in favor of the campus. The owners Of
the ball park have demanded 20 per
cent OF the gate receipts. while they
charge others only S35 for the use of it.
Another point that influenced the de-
cision of the students is that the base
pail park is fifty feet short OF the regu-
.ation foot ball grounds and the Ann
Arbor team, in a telegram received yes
ierday morning, said they wanted to
play Oh a full-Iength field. As the
Campus is not fenced in special ar
rangements will have to be made. A
oarbed-wire fence will be put up
Oh three sides of the campus,
toward Pillsbury hall, a grand stand
will be built, which will effectually shut
off the view from that side. On Uni
versitY avenue, which runs alongside of
the campus, wall of carriages will be
interposed. All spectators will be COM
PEELED to wear their tickets IN their
hats, and all those not having tickets
thus exposed will be forced to leave the
field. 1t is also thought that the hold
ing of the games on the university
campus will cause more enthusiasm
among the students, and perhaps
lead more of the gentler sex to be pres
ent. The game of foot ball between Ann
Arbor and Minuesotas, to be played one
week from tomorrow, will DE the great
est game of foot ball ever played in the
Northwest. The W. team is hard at
work. Two new men have begun prac-
tice with the foot ball players during the
past week-Gunn. of the ''medics," who
played base ball last spring, and Shep-

In Honor orCoIumbus.

The special committee of the board Of
education appointed to consider the
matter of the schools taking part in the
celebration of the 21st of October, met
in the rooms of the board yesterday. 1t
is intended that the pupils in the lower
grades, up to the Fifth, shall meet IN
the morning at their respective schools
and take part in appropriate exercises.
In the afternoon the exercises for the
larger pupils, including those of the
high school, will meet. 1t is hoped that
speaker can be provided for each of
the schools. The old soldiers will also
be invited to participate in the eXer-
ciSes. The idea of a civic parade on
that day has been abandoned. The
board will meet tomorrow and take &C
ton on this plan.

"GIVEs IT OUT COLD"
County auditor Ledgerwood Says
the Journal FalsifieS.

the journal EalSlHeS.
Saturday night the Journal gave cur
rency to another absolutely false state
ment. 1t said:
The county auditor gives it out cold
that he does not propose to place upon
the county tickets that will be used in
the city the name of the candidates for
county superintendent of schools. and
from this decision may come very in
teresting legal tangle after the election
is over"
County Auditor Ledgerwood says that
he has never said a word to any one on
that point. He has never considered
the point He has told no one that the
names of the candidates for county
Superintendent of schools will not be
placed on the city ticket. He has given
no one any authority TO say anything of
the kind. he Will Investigate this
point before he "gives it out cold' that
the names OF those candidates Will not
appear on the city tickets And that is
all that Mr. Ledgerwood does give out
cold" as yet-a complete denial of
everything the journal has said.
AS a matter of fact, the law specially
provides that the names OF the candl-
dates for county superintendent of
schools shall moi be placed on the coun-
ty ticket. The effort to have them
placed there is Republican trick, they
having given up all hope of electing
Candidate Henry III the county.

When the golden glimmer
DINNER grows anC DINNER,
And sh adow's tremor
Shifts across the wall.
Touch the old chords brightly,
Let them tremble slightly
Into tune, and lightly
Tender themes recall.
Then thy soul surrender
To the soulful splendor
OF the music tender
One with thee to be,
Binding smiles together
With an airy tether,
Loves enchanted weather,
Pains euthanaSy.
Let your dark eyes leaning
Up TO mine their meaning,
Dlviner glory cleaning
From the seraph strain,
Search mine own, revealing
PASSIONS dewy feeling.
Droop while l am kneeling,
Draining them again.
All, the strain is dying,
And l hear you signing,
And your hand is lying
Softly ID my hair;
And your lips are bending
On mine own and lending
Ecstasy transcending,
Aught know or care.
Now the purple glimmer
DINNER grows and DINNER,
And the shadow grimmer
Spreading DER the wall;
flushed the music's beating,
Souls in kisses meeting.
Love and love repeating,
While the plovers call.
