Y. M. G. A. Rally.

The second annual rally of the committee
men and workers was held In the parlors of
the Congregational church, Wednesday
evening with an attendance of about fifty.
nearly all of the officers and committeeman
being present.
After some time spent in Misunderstanding
and in conversation, the male chorus, con-
Quoted by G. G. Duff, sang few appropri-
ate pieces. An adjournment was then taken
to the dining rooms where the Ladies'
Auxiliary had made ample preparation for
such eaters as good healthy Y. M. c. A. men
usually are.
A novel feature of the exercises consisted
i'm the 'Introductions," each member in
turn having to rise and tell the company
where he was born; his age; how long he
had lived in Owosso; what his business was;
how long he had been member of the
association and of what committee he was a
member. Some of these autobiographes
were quite amusing and all were interesting.
The ladies of the auxiliary were not slighted
in an invitatation to respond, but whether
the question of age had anything to do with
il or not, they declined. Following this the
chairmen of the various committees were
called on for the number of committeeman
each had present.
The presidents "Inaugural" was the first
address and was delivered by the new presi-
dent, j. @. Shattuck, in a, very happy and
hopeful vein. Secretary Campbell was his
Secretary of State" while Chas. K. Rigley
chairman of the finance committee, was his
Secretary of the Treasury" His cabinet
would, in the spirit of ''civil service reform
to which he was pledged, remain much the
same as his predecessors.
James Osburn spoke of the association
from business mans standpoint and good
advice and humor we're we'll blended in his
speech He believed in the association work
and emphasized the fact that honesty was
the main thing in business life. A. ID.
Whipple spoke upon the subject 'Our
Better Half" Mr.. Whipple, as all know,
has way of keeping his listeners In good
humor and this time was no exception. He
he paid glowing tribute to the ladies, who
had organized and so snobly supplemented
the work of the association. The next
speaker, j. w. Simmons, was unable to be
present owing to bad attack of the grip.
He, however, sent brief letter expressing
his regret at being unable to attend and
giving some fatherly advice to the boys
with special warning to the bald headed
members.
The "Silver Question" was handled in an
interesting way by the man who. with his
committee. answers the same question In a
practical manner for the association, Chas.

1t is currently reported that the Michigan
Central is to adopt a new passenger rate
schedule Jan. 1st The scheme as we

rate of two cents per mile to everybody,
thus doing away with all mileage books and
excursion rates. BY so doing the work of
station agents would be made easy and the
danger of collisions and losses from wild
trains done away with. There would be
more travelling, it is thought and the road,
instead of losing money. would make money.
