A TALENTED PREACHER.

Last Evening.


large audience gathered in Fine
street church last evening and listened to
the Rev. F. l.. Goodspeed. The clergy
man was able to hold his congregation to
the end, and many were the favorable
comments heard at the close. An elo-
quent preacher is with us, and the large
vestry will probably be unable to hold
the people who will want to lhear this
talented divine. Mr. Goodspeed's sub
ject was: "a. Pertinent Question" Sam.

fatherhood of God? All His wondrous
works declare and speak Of Him. The
mighty mountains tell of His strength.
The Nlagaras say there is. majesty in
Him. Wa look up to the sun and see
that God IS light. In the stars is dis
played His love of order and harmony.
But, greater than all, Chris: proves that
God is love. A lonely man goes up the
rugged mountain side in search of lost

toward all ages and races and chimes, and
declares He that hath seen Me hath

Each one of us is in charge of a soul

DO not meet the invitation of the Cos

abashed at the thought of weighing

NEW ADVERTISEMENTS.

U->ROM now till
l. Thanksgiving the
Dining Table will
be the thing uppermost in
your thoughts of course,
and next to what's on it
OF an edible nature, its
eye-satisfying appearance
will bo the thing to give
youmost concern.
Is there anything that
decorates and beauties a
dining table SO much as
rich Cut Glass? Does
anything else add such
brilliancy and elegance?
Then a piece or two
more will not be amiss
and a word about our
great collection of new
shapes in Dorhinger's
make is timely.
Cut Glass notions are
as tickle as the wind.
Ideas as to what is prop
er in shapes and sizes
are as changeable as the
seasons. The old round,
deep and high dishes
have given way to low,
shallow, small irregular
shapes, prettier, more
artistic and less expen-
sive. And then the cut
ting; it has been elevated
to a fine art, the facets of
a diamond are not more
perfect, and a gem from
Dorfinger's is hardly
less dazzling.
There is a large stock
to choose from here, a
tasteful selection of the
best and newest designs.
We've put the Cut Glass
in the Basement sales
room because there's
more room there to show
it and the gaslight helps
you to see it at it's best.

Six Hundred Thousand Dollars.

This result achieved as it was in spite
of the heavy blow dealt the Company on
the last day of August, by the death of
its President through railroad accident,
is evidence of the spirit of determination
pervading its Agents, and is, moreover, a
practical intimation on their part of their
intention to turn to the Company's best
advantage the object lesson so painfully
afforded, and which, above all, so vivid
ly portrayed the uncertainty of life and
the consequent imperative need for In
surance Protection.
The new business showing for Septem-
Der can be best judged by the following
comparisons.
SEPTEMBER, 1898, WAS THE
LARGEST OF ANY CORRESPONDING
MONTH FOR SIXTEEN YEARS.
IT WAS THE ONLY SEPTEMBER
DURING THAT PERIOD IN WHICH
THE 5000, 900 MARK WAS EXCEEDED.
IT EXCEEDED THE PRECEDING

Some Specimens of Humanity Who
Will not be on Exhibition.

As was to be expected, the fair
has attracted The indigenous and
numerous American 'cranks," as
well as foreign persons with mental
and mortal crotches. These, and
also youthful geniuses, have besieg-
ed, personally and by letter, the
ways and means committee, of
which Edward b. Butler is chair
man, and Samuel A. Crawford is
secretary. A few examples will in
dictate how much of human nature
as it really is will not be on exhibi-
ton at the fair: An American was
early in the field with divine rev.
elation of the site which had been
foreordained for the fair when the
foundations of the world were laid,
and an Englishman has desired to
be put on exhibition as the Messiah.
Two boys 'of respectable parent
age" in Western New York have
offered to walk to Chicago, and to
camp on the exposition grounds
with the purpose of illustrating the
life of tramps, and of lecturing on
its vicissitudes. Another boy of 10
recommended that nickel-in-the-
slot monographs fixed to repeat
amusing stories might be placed in
the fisheries building and about the
grounds; he urged that a royalty
on the suggestion would enable him
to help his widowed mother. An
enterprising dealer in cosmetics
asked for space to exhibit an old
woman, one-half Of whose face was
to be smoothed out with his pre-
Alpena argus. [volume] (Alpena, Mich.) 1893-1909, 1893-03-08

paration and the remainder left
with its mortal wrinkles until the
end of the fair, when he would
smooth out the other half in the
presence of the multitude. The
parents of "favorite orator" of 6
years offered his services as intro
Queer of the chief orator at the
dedicatory ceremonies, which would,
they thought, lend emphasis to the
portentous Importance of the occa-
sion. A mathematician asked for
room to show the world how to
square the circle. Out of Indiana
came'a solver of perpetual motion;
he was informed that space could
not be allotted for the exhibition of
an idea, so he would have to bring
on his machine; later he informed
the committee that his self-feeding
engine, which had been running a
sewing machine, had unfortunately
broken down, "but the principle
remained the same" A Georgian
asked for the concession to conduct a
cockpit, and another son ofthe south
knew a Golored child which was an
anatomical wonder, and could be
had by stealing it from its mother;
for a reasonable sum he was willing
to fill the Office of kidnapper. In
Vulnerable freaks of nature have
been rendered; and the pretty Eng
lish barmaid has IN several instances
enclosed her photograph with an
offer of assistance to the fair. A
very serious offer came from Span
lard, who had been disguised with
the weak attempts to give bull
fights in Paris during the recent
exposition. He offered to fill the
brutal void at the Columbian Fair
if he could be assured the privilege
of producing the spectacle with
I'LL his real and genuine circum-
stances. "-Century.

In few weeks the Democratic
city convention will be held, to
place in nomination candidates for
city officers. The officers to be
chosen at the election on the Sd of
next month are Comptroller, Re
corder, six Supervisors, six Alder
men, Members of the Board of Ed
ucation and six Constables. The
election of the city officers, Alder
men, Supervisors and Members of
the Board of Education, is of great
err Importance to the people of AL
pena than in any past year, owing
to the peculiar position at present.
The valuation of personal property
will be a great deal smaller than
last year, owing to large decrease
of logs, mills and vessels, and thus
less money must be raised and the
city expenses largely decreased. 1t
is important that good officers be
chosen. Only those who are capa-
bic and care more for the interests
of the city than they do for what
they can get out of the city treasury,
should be selected. A mere chronic
office seeker should not be chosen
for candidate. Alpena wants her
best citizens for official positions,
and especially for members of the
Council. The Democratic party
has plenty of good men, well quail
fled to carefully manage the city af-
fairs, and those men should be select
ed for the positions. Taxes must
be lower, the expenses largely de-
creased, especially in the street de-
partment, and every dollar of the
city money should be expended
economically and wisely. IL good
and capable men are selected by the
Democrats at their coming city and
ward convention, enough of them
will be elected to rule the city dur
ing 1893.

that which bears the name of "The
MacKaye Spectacular" which is
being fostered and pushed to COM
pletion by the Columbian Celebra-
ton Company at Chicago. This
comprises the erection of a building
of massive proportions and pictures
quely interesting design, in which
shall be presented the many strange
and daring ideas that Mr.. Steele
MacKaye conceived as a part of the
essentials for a grand and noble
dramatic and lyric presentation of
the great historic discovery which
this Exposition is to celebrate. A
year ag Mr.. MacKaye explained his
ideas to a party of Chicago capital
lists, among them being George M.
Pullman, Lyman j. Gage, hurry
Nelson, Benz. Butterworth, E. b.
Butler, Judge Leroy d. Thoman,
Gen'l A. c. McClurg, Ferd and CLAIR
ence Peck, II. f. Bucklon, j.. w.
elliott, j. G. Hinkley, III. Il. Weaver
and others of like prominence.
These men Immediately grasped the
feasibility of Mr.. MacKaye's plan
and saw in it an opportunity to
give to the people of Chicago and
the world production that should
surpass anything ever attempted
and they furnished the capital,
about $2,000,000 to carry these
plans to an end. That end is rapid
ly approaching and within month
or more the model, which cost $780,
900 will be shown to the newspaper
men. Those who have seen the
model, even in its first stages Of
development say that the present.
ment which will be given in 1.-THE
MacKaye Spectatorium" will sur
pass every other feature Of the Fair,
both in it's colossal proportions and
it's astonishing audacity.

Crin0line to Be or Not to Be.

Mr.. George nj. Becker, Democratic
member from Hennepin county, In which
Minneapolis Is situated, caused sensa-
ton In the Minnesota Legislature, on Feb
ruary 3D., by introducing bill prohibit
ing the manufacture or sale OF crinoline.
The bill in full Is as follows:
Sec. /. 1t shall be unlawful for any
person to manufacture or sell, or to offer
for sale, or uso, or permit to manufacture,
sale or use Of any hoopskirt, or hoop
skirts, or anything like thereunto, within
the limits of Minnesota.
Sec. III. Any person violating this act,
or In any way assisting the violation OF
any provision of this act shall be punish
ed by a fine of not less than SIS nor more
than $25 for each offense, and shall be
imprisoned in the county jail for period
not exceeding thirty days.
The vexed controversy concerning GRIN
oline, which has been raging In the papers
of late is due to the dearth of Fashion
news rather than to actual facts, Whilst
newspaper fashion writer's have busted
themselves discussing the appalling con-
sequences Of the revival Of the hoopskirt
i'm Paris and whilst the influence of the
Princess of Wales has been appealed to
to stand as barrier against this coming
lnIcdJcuillS tNtuJ, J1o lctolilB uIcSSluth-
ing houses of the French capital have not
yet made q single crinoline for any of
their customers. All there is be said on
this subject is that the several pretty nov
ell models of skirts coming from Paris
are as a general rule fiat around the waist
with considerable fullness at the bottom
In order to thoroughly comprehend the
actual tendency Of Fashion and to get re-
liable information as the best way Of
securing fine models Of these stylish
skirts, one must consult the Mcdowell
Fashion Magazines: La Mode dc Paris
and Paris Album Of Fashion are invalu-
able to dressmakers and sell at $3.50 a
year, or 30 cents u copy. The French
Dressmaker, $500 per year, or 30 cents
per copy, Is noted for its practical styles.
