: The question of organizing a
board of trade in this town seems
to have been forgotten. Our bust

it would help the business of the
town TO any extent. We entertain
a different view. We believe that
such an organization would be of
much good to the community at
large.
The Oil Works will commen-
ced to buy cotton soon. The
price paid for cotton in the seed
is Sl7 which is small price, but
with the present condition of the
market. those who are informed
on those matters say it is impossi-
bic to pay a higher price. The
is that when the first
rush of new cotton will food the
market it will cause the staple to
fall a few points which it is ex-
however, will be but of
short duration. Then we may
have better prices. provided the
condition is improved.

went to the hospitable plantation
home of Mr.. Geo. w. Bancker.
The sMisses Bancker and their
guests from New Orleans who are
spending some time with the
Bancker family had prepared for
the reception of the party. 1t
was one of those gatherings where
pleasure and JOY reigned supreme.
Cakes and refreshments were in
and were served to the
guest in a most gracious style.
Those who were present speak in
high term of the gracious and gen.

them by the family of Mr.. Banc-

Morality is at discount, Tenderness

This condition of things once invaded

THE LAST ACT.

At the conclusion of the Thoney
case in the circuit court last Saturday,
the case of Nicholson against j.
Maurice Finn, was called and disposed
of.
The suit was brought to recoy er the
sum of 1890 due Nicholson for stock of
the Calumet & Hecla mine bought by
Finn for Nicholson and sold without
account Of the proceeds.
Nicholson testifies that he was in
duced to invest 81, 900 in the stock by
Finn and afterwards to remargin same
to the extent of $1,000. He then dis
covered that Finn had bought the
stock in his own name and after some
weeks sent Mr.. Alexander, his attorney,
to Ishpeming to see about it. On find
ing that Finn had sold the stock, he
asked what had been done with the
money, and Mr.. Finn replied that he
had used it to pay mortgage on his
newspaper plant, Mr.. Alexander then
demanded payment and Finn gave him
$105 and promised the balance in q
week. Finn then went to Detroit
where he raised $500 and paid same to
Mr.. Nicholson in consideration Of q
letter stating that he had acted honora-
bly,. The same letter was afterwards
published in Mr.. Firms defence. For
the balance he gave demand note and
as security $4,000 worth of stock in the
Lake Superior publishing company.
These shares were exhibited in court
as was also letter in which Finn
stated that leadiag democrats had
pledged themselves for stock in his
paper, and he had used the money to
get the nomination and il he only had
more money he could be elected and
make his mark. Judgement for $751;
rs was rendered, Hayden & Young
appeared for plaintiff and Peter 81
Shaull for defense but made no fight as
Mr.. Finn had not been heard from
Marquette Times.

the v,ial Influences brought to lie r in
national elections The Chicago News
Record prints this dispatch bearing on
the policy OF the incoming administra-
lion i'll the matter of making changes
in federal Offices throughout the
country:
There has been Il good deal Of
anxiety among Office holders and Office
seekers to know what policy President
elect Cleveland would pursue relative
to them. Some of the officials were
concerned for the reason that if there
was to be Wholesale removal with the
incoming administration they wished
to make business arrangements which
were in prospect. It is stated that
several of these wrote personal letters
to president Cleveland received replies
which DO not encourage place-hunters.
In one OF his letters Mr.. Cleveland
says tint white he is not yet president
of thu United States he has always
believed in the theory Of permitting
competent officials to serve the terms
of their commissions and not TO make
changes before that time unless there
are good aud sufficient reasons for re-
movals. He added: "As federal
officer you understand the situation
in your Office better than any one else"
This is interpreted to mean that the
postmasters and revenue officers will
not be disturbed during til time for
which they were appointed and it is
construed us notification to Demo-
crafts wanting the places not to be in
hurry with applications and recon-
mendations.

THE FIRST JyHITE AMERICAN.

It is historic fact 8 Mt the first
white child born III America had a
Norw cgia mother TIE child's name
W, 81 Snorre, son OF Thoruicld, brother
Of Ii 4 Eriksen, and it WIS born in the
state of Massachusetts in 1908 and taxi
en- back to Iceland when three years
old.
A thing showing that Columbus had
the benefit of the Norsemen's knowl-
edge i the fact that the Norwegian
woman Goodridge when she went
back form Iceland, proceeded to Rome
and told the clergy where she had
lived in the new land and how long
she hi,d been away from Iceland. The
record is now in Rome written in the
Italian language. Anyone like Calum-
bus. who had the braius and energy
to 90 our aud seek new lands, had the
benefit of the Norwegian woman
story. History shows that Columbus
went 10 ItOuls uitl Ntto ciV"h 10
cords. Thus he knew that there was
land in the west. He didn't know
what country it was any more than the
Norsemen did. When Lief Eriksen
discovered the land the time was not
ripe for emigration from Europe.
When Columbus went out there was
q period of unrest. Religious conten-
ton was in the air. The 1nritans and
Quakers were taking refuge in Hol-
land. Persecution made people glad
to seek new land in large numbers.
Columbus went west when the time
was ripc for tie world to follow him.
That was his good fortune, but he was
not Americas discoverer. He was
only ms ruinertal in its settlement.
Tn sEriksen's time lis people we're
rovers and hence they did not take
permsnent advantage of his discovery.

Chevalier's influence has been healthful
and good. While as in London parlance,
coster stock is looking up, there is de-
cidedly less of initiated cOckneyism and
coster slang among the lowly, and less
everyday butfoonery among the cockney
cads Of London. Defining and revealing
costers as a class have brought them into
line for social and literary contemplation
This of itself gradually tends to contine
imitators to a very low class of minds
whose influence upon manners and speech
is without weight, and delineators to a
very high order of intellect as with
Chevalier, with painters and with novel
lists, who will do the Costers no harm, and
who will mist the public's eye or touch
the public's heart in q way that always
makes it better for thrill of mirth or
sadness.
Chevaliers coster dialect is admira oily
clean; too clean to be the real thing; but
he uses enough of their original express
SiOns to place the real coster before his
great audiences. From having lived and
toiled among them mynote books are full
of their curious forms of speech. They
cannot be reproduced in print owing to
their terrible profanity and awful com
mingling of obscenity; while it must be
remembered that the coster is absolutely
unconscious of either, and would Instantly
put up his fivers' to any one who would
seriously intimate that he was not scru-
pulously respectful and polite. They are
all, men and women, wonderful whistlers,
and they have an odd sort of call and an
swer, a monotone accentuated thus:
''Ta-ta-tal ta-ta; ta-ta-ta"
'"Ta-ta-ta ta-tap'
In their greetings they are most effus-
i've
"Chy-ike! AN 'ow are We, oil pall''

It's use is universal among the costers, and

''Strike me lucky!" 'Gawd's truth :"
and "Gor bli mep' are their favorite, in
deed their endless, imprecations. The
latter means, MAY God belle, or dis
own, met" It is needless to say that
they have no idea whatever of its
significance But from the age of speech
to that of speechlessness no coster man or
woman ever opened mouth without utter
ing this self-imposed anathema,

to convey more than a general idea of
what French horse show is like What
would strike the across-the-Atlantic visi-
tor to French competition of five car
riage horses could be not the extreme but
the general excellence. In America, dur
ing several years, one of the difficulties
commended against by the committees Of
the Horse Show Association was how TO
bar out lot of horses that simply de-
tracted from the general average of the
exhibition. AS an enthusiastic admirer
of fine horses / may be permitted TO say
that it would have required an extremely
critical expert 10 think of throwing out
any one of the pairs exhibited here.
There are certainly some horses in Amer
icA as fine as those / have seen here, but
there are just as certainly far more very
fine teams here and no such poor speci-
mems as are sometimes shown in Madison
Square garden are ever allowed TO APP
pear here. High even action, perfect
mating and splendid stylefwere the fea-
lures One lady drove a pair of black

tracts great attention. One of the most
marked is the caleche of the Marquis dc
Pomereu, gotten up in the old style with
a position. Only one of these mail
coaches and breaks was not fit for a
championship competition, as regards
horses.
After the parade Of four-in-hands comes
the jumping. A good water Jump is in
the entire; bar, two hedges and a stone
wall are also to clear, and the circuit
must be made two and one-half times
There have been jumping competitions
for ladies, for boys of between 10 and 20
years and for French army officers singly,
In pairs and by fours.
A large majority of the horses leave the
building every evening to come back when
their turn comes to compete, but those
that are to compete daily can be accom-
modated with stalls.
NEW Birdie.
Among the interesting exhibits (for, be-
sides horses, carriages and harness are
shown is bride adopted by the French
government for the cavalry service, which
ought TO be particularly appreciated In
America. 1t is called the Thourvenin
bride, after its inventor. and il has two
strong points of excellence. One is that
il can be readily changed from bride to
a halter in few seconds, and vice versa
the other is doing away with the curb.
Every horseman knows that the curb
causes more runaways than it ever pre-
vents, and that In the hands of poor
rider a horse suffers terribly from the
leverage brought to bear on his lower jaw.
This new bit takes as fulcrum q strap
which exerts no pressure on the jaw but
permits Of the supplying of the horses
mouth, and thus, without putting him in
terrible agony, makes 1t impossible for
him to run away.

A remarkable kind Of light has been sue
cessfully exhibited by Dr. Philip Lenard OF
Bonn and formed the subject OF paper
read before tho Royal Prusslan Academy Of
Science at Berlin. Hertz showed that the

phosphoresence will permcate thin metal,
II then 1t were practicable to find n sheet OF
metal foil thick enough to be air tight and
Opaque, yet thin enough to be pcrmcable by
the discharge, 1t would be possible TO allow
these rays a passage into the open air by
closing such an opening in a discharge tube
with such a piece OF foil. This idea has
been realized by Dr. Lenard by nieans of an
ingeniously arranged apparatus and ham
mored aluminium plate COOS millimeter
thick. This plate forms in the apparatus

calls the window" because, while quite
