AMONG THE POLITICIANS
Republicans Encouraged by Complications
In New York.


The folks around the republican congress
sioral headquarters I'm this city do not at
tempt to conceal their great qualification
over the sudden twist that has come In the
New York situation. The nomination OF
Hugh Grant as Tammany's eleventh-hour
candidate for the mayoralty has cast a
broad grin over the countenances of the visi-
tors and the members of the committee who
say that they see I'm this a sure sign Of de-
moralization that cannot fail to hurt the
democratic canvass for Congressman. The
acting chairman OF the committee, Mr.. APPS
ley, says that he cannot conceive how Tam
many can pull into shape now-seventeen
days before election-with the schism In the
ranks OF the regular democracy caused by
the disanection of Straus unhealed by a
single word of comfort or regret.
He predicts that there will be nothing to
come to help ont tho Dominant party In the
state, end counts on a large republican ma
tority for both tickets.
This morning there were visitors from
Virginia closeted with Mr. Apsley for an
hour or 90, including Gen. Brady and MIR.
fost, the father OF the candidate I'm the
tenth district. They told the chairman
the election OF Mr.. Yost, who is making a
very strong fight, and arousing unusual
enthusiasm.
Diplomatic Senator German.
Senator German returned to his home I'm
Laurel, Nd. yesterday from New York, and
spent a few hours today at the Capitol
In response to questions he said that he
knew nothing more OF the situation in New
York politics than he had seen published
In the newspapers and SAID that he had not
conferred with any of he democratic lead
ers while In New York. He declined to
make any prophecy as to the result Of the
campaign or to discuss the situation fur
ther than to say that it was Very COM
llicatel
He contradicted the report which has been
circulated to the effect that he would take
the stump for Senator Hill In New York.

shall not return to New York during the
campaign, and 1t 10 not my purpose to
make speeches anywhere. I think / am
entitled TO rest, and decided when Con-
gress adjourned to make no speeches any
where during the recess"
The Senator's health, which was very
poor during the latter part of the last ses-
sion, has improved somewhat, but be says
1t is not all that he could desire.

Heroic Measures Necessary to Saw

The inspectors of pelagic sealslIins at

proportion of females existed among the
pups taken as among the old seals, the
whole number Of females taken probably
did not fall short OF 13.e00 out OF u total

officials In their opinion that very heroic
measures will have to be adopted to pre-
vent the total destruction OF the seali lg
industry. Assistant Secretary Hamlin, who
recently made thorough personal investi-
CATION of the whols subject, is said to be of
opinion that nothing short Of total ces-
sation of sealing for a term of years can
prevent the annihiiation OF the seal herds.

Eaton -Joiner.


1869 Eaton Joiner. 1874
No pleasanter social event has ever
occurred in Paw Paw than the silver
wedding of Gen. and Mrs. T.. l.. Eaton,
which was celebrated last evening at
their residence.
Mr.. and Mrs. Eaton have, during the
six years which they have resided in
Paw Paw, surrounded themselves with
friends who find genuine pleasure in
congratulating them on this, the ami
versary of twenty-five years of happy
welded life. That they have gained
loyal friends wherever has been their
residence, is attested by the large num-
ber of distinguished persons who, sac
rificing business interests, came long
distances to enjoy with them the happy
occasion.
Among the guests from abroad were
Gov. and Mrs. Rich, Auditor General
Turner and wife, Col. w. w. Cook,
Mrs. Bogardus, Mrs. Ferry and Mrs.
Weber of Lansing; Hon. Neal McMil-
Ian of Rockford; Col. +. II. Latta and
wife of Battle Greek; Homer Latta of
New Orleans, and Mrs Ivan Fox of
Brainerd, MINI.
The marriage which was so pleasant
ly celebrated occurred at Mattawan
in 1869. Miss Nellie A. Joiner was an
Ohio girl. who came to Michigan with
her father in 1867. Charles l.. Eaton,
who was born in 1916, was among the
youngest soldiers of the rebellion, serv-
ing with Illinois and New York regi-
ments, first enlisting in June, 1862
Coming to Michigan in 1867, he was
principal of the schools at Martawan,
hut discontinued that avOcation in 1871
n "A in. nft 10, ct,,f
til 1875, when he entered the employ of
the M.C.R.R. as telegraph operator and
station agent. From 1885 to 1899 he
operated general store at Mattawan
aud drug store in Paw Paw. In 1889
he purchased one-half interest in the
TRUE NoRTHERNER and edited that
journal until 1891.
General Eaton has always been Re-
publican of the stalwart brand. For
four years-lSS9-1S92 represented
Van Buren, constituency in the Mich
igan legislature in manner which re-
bounded in honor to himself and credit
to his district
In 1893 Michigan demanded the APP
pointment of Mr.. Eaton as Adjutant-
General, for which office he seemed pc
culiarly fitted, having been identified
with the &. A. Il. of Michigan as its
Department Commander and closely
associated with the Michigan National
guard. Governor Rich promptly made
the appointment SO unanimously re-
quested, and there is no more popular
officer in the service to-day than Gen.
Eaton.
The friends of Mr.. and Mrs Eaton
unite in wishing them as many more
years of cloudless welded life.

Annual school Meeting.

The high school room was fairly well
filled with patrons of the school on the
occasion of the annual meeting, last
Monday night. Aside from the iinan-
cial statement, the only matter of in
terest before the meeting was the cleo
tion of "a trustee in place of Mr.. Geo. w.
Longwell, whose term expired, after
continuous service on the school board
for eighteen years, and who, from the
fact that his name was not presented
for reelection, presumably considered
that he had done his full share in that
direction. Certain it is that our people
fully appreciate the service he has rem
dered, for to him in large measure is
due the proud position our school occu-
pies to-day. Mr.. A. Il. Hall was elected
by substantially unanimous vote.
Following is the financial statement:
