1t is indeed a children's paradise. It is a
truly international babies fair. There
are tom and tons of toys, many of them
new in this country but none the less fas-
cinating to the little eyes and hands and
minds for which they were intended. The
nations of the earth here vie in providing

ingenuity of the Yenkee, his art in con-

would think America might be in the lead
in this field. She might be, but certainly
IS not. The Germans, the Swiss and the
French are the chief of toy-makers. Eng

Spain sends some quaint toys, and Italy
as well. In fact, there are few nations
that are not represented in the play rooms

What Judge Hubbell SAYS,

To the Copper Journal Judge Hub
bell expressed his opinion concerning
the location of the asylum as follows:
1--WE have been working for long
time to get an insane asylum in the
Upper Peninsula and finally succeeded
in getting grant last winter, but the
action of the board with whom was
lodged the authority to locate it, has
about nullified the work of the legisla-
ture! Our reasons for asking for the
asylum were thatTraverse City was too
far away but to place it in wayside
village that in the very nature of things
can and never will be anything else but
a small fthe-way country town, is
not what either the legislature or the
people of this district expected. II we
need an institution of that kind at all,
we want it somewhere near the center
OF population, and at u point easy of
access by the entire district. The peo-
pie of Houghton county generally favor
ed L'Anse because from sanitary
point of view it is unsurpassed and is
probably the nearest to the center of
population of any of the places named
that had good shipping facilities, and
both rail and water transportation.
Anywhere, however, would have been
better than Newberry. We would
rather have seen it go to the 500 or to
Menominee, for they offer good sites,
and the patients at least would have
cheerful surroundings. What this
board saw in Newberry the Lord only
knows; I can think of no reason unless
they thought they could turn the luna
tics to profitable account by turning
them out to pick cranberries in the
marshes"

Common Council,

At special meeting of the common
council of the village of L'Anse, held
Nov. 8, 1898, for the purpose of con-
sideiing the action of the state board OF

Newberry as the site for the asylum for
the insane in the Upper Peninsula,

dent; J. b. Smith, s. Kinney, Jno.

deau, trustees, and l.. j. Shepard, clerk

of said board and forwarding same te

On motion the council adjourned.

The L'Anse sentinel. (L'Anse, L.S., Mich.) 18??-current, 1893-11-11
Mill PROTEST..

We are advised that there will he q
strong effort made bv the Upper PENN
sula counties most interested to induce
the state board OF corrections and
charities to reconsider its action i'll
reference to the location Of the Upper
Peninsula asylum for the insane. The
location of it at Newberry is unsatisfac-
tory to Marquette, and, for natural
reasons is very much more so to all the
counties lying to the south and west OF
Marquette where the bulk of the pepu-
lation OF the Upper Peninsula re-
sides.
The purpose of the legislature in
creating this asylum for the Upper
Peninsula was practically nullified in
locating il at Newberry, as " ill be
easily seen by perusal of the map
and census figures of northern Michi
gan. The counties lying to che st of
Newberry contain population Of o.
304; the counties 20 the west have
population of 158 22l, and the worst of
it is that there il q stretch of y hundred
miles west of Newberry before tie pop.
ulous portion OF the Upper Peninsula
is reached at all. As matter OF fact,
so far as the 158,22l people living to
the west of Newberry are concerned the
asylum might rs well have been locate
at Traverse City.
Inasmucll as the state has already
amply provided for the care OF the in.
sane in the lower peninsula, and has
one Of its largest institutions at Traverse
City, we take it for granted that the in
tention of the legislature was to provide
especially for the needs of the Upper
Peninsula and that it conveyed its
meaning in plain words when it said
the asylum should be located in m
"easily accessible part of the Upper
Peninsula" Its location at New berry
practically defeats the main purpose of
the bill.
| We do not say this from any feeling
of soreness because L'Anse did not get
the asylum. AS stated by the SENTINEL
last week the people here had just about
as soon it would go elsewhere. They
have tired of angling for little fish with
big hook. But for all that they do
not feel that the good work done by
our senators and representatives should
be wasted on the desert air." and if
there is any possible way Of retrieving
the mistake maize by the locating
board they are willing to "put their
shoulders to the wheel" to accomplish
that purpose. To that end they will no
doubt send to the governor respect
full protest against the action of the
| board.

A Marvellous Piece of Mechanism.

The following description of the
wonderful little engine built by John
Crossman, which we clip from the
Houghton Gazette, will be of interest
to many readers of the SENTINEL:
No doubt great many of our readers
have seen the little engine that has
been on exhibition in Theodore Lange's
store window since Saturday. A short
description of this "little gem" will not
be out of place. The maker and owner
is John Crossman, who is so well and
favorably known in Houghton. 1t is
nine years since he started to construct
the engine. The cost of the set of
tools made especially to build
it, was 5000. The work was
principally done in bedroom at leis-
ure hours. Mr.. Crossman is natural
born mechanic, and has handled every
variety of steam engines, marine,
stationary and locomotive. He served
in the capicity of engineer on the D.,
S. s. & A. railroad for number of
years The last occupation Mr.. Cross
man held was that of master.mechanic
at the Sheridan mines in San Miguel
county, Colorado. These mines closed
last March, when he returned to this
part of the country and finished the
work. What seems queer to most peo-
pie is that such complicated piece OF
machinery could be built without draw
ings. True, he had the plans in his
head, but he never put them on paper.
Among other questions asked him was,
if he did not have assistance from
others. He answers emphatically no.
There are many ew.features about the
engine which probably will be patent
ed.

The following special from Houghton
to the Detroit Free Press is significant
OF the feeling of copper country citizens
concerning the asylum location:
