They are a blessing to thin girls and form
so delightful a compromise between the

The young princesses of the Wales
household are going in for doubIe-breasted
coats during the coming cold season. In
deed, the best people will not be seen in
the capped jackets so generally affected last
winter. With the exception of short,
crisp "trumpet capes in enc with the
Medici collar revers will be more dis

colored material are seen on the new
tweed golf eapes, and also Cd some jackets,
but mostly on those of the Parsia make.

An old red house in the sunset shines.
The roof, weather beaten and gray,
CLEANS in the distance like silver shield.
The windows blaze like beacon fires.
Through the pine woods that stand
solemn and dark against the rosy sky the
south wind flows softly. 1t seems to Aunt
Prue like a low and tender psalm. She
listens as she walks, and loves the sound.
Many a tipe it has come to her Ike

busy grinding. The long days work is

the village on the hill. And the maidens,
watching, cry:

shine! Joe has lighted his evening

They like to look at The old mill, and speak
of Joe's name.

The death of an estimable citizen,
whose honorable life is unquestion-
ed and universally admitted, and
especially young man, is loss to
the community in which he has
resided. Such an event was the
death Of Arthur Jermin, a young
man of "a years, who was highly
esteemed by the many who knew
him. A short time ago he went to
Detroit to have an operation per-
formed, being afflicted with tuber-
colosis of the bladder. Soon after
the operation death ensued. Fri
day evening the remains were
brought from Detroit, and the fun
eral took place Sunday afternoon.
The services were held at Trinity
church, Rev. John Munday ofliciat-
ing. The deceased was a member
of st. Andrews society, and his
brothers of that order escorted his
remains to the cemetery, marching
ahead of the hearse. The funeral
procession was one of the largest
ever in this city, there being about
so carriages in the procession. The
floral offerings were magnificent.

Election.

The election on Monday in this
city, was all one sided, and the Re-
publicans elected their city ticket
and have a majority of the alder
men. The election of Mr.. Gil
christ for Mayor, was conceded be-
fore the ballot boxes were closed,
and bets were made that his ma
jority would be several hundred.
The defeat of J. II. Kerr, for
treasurer, is misfortune to Alpena,
as it is admitted by his political OPP
ponents that he has made a first
class officer. When a man has been
tried and found faithful and efficient
in the performance of his duties, he
should be retained in the service of
the people.
The large majority received by
Mr.. Gilchrist is no reflection on Mr..
Bostwick as a citizen, but is merely
the belief of large number of vot-
ers that Mr.. Gilchrist's election
would be great benefit to the city,
and also the desire Of a large num-
Der to honor Mr.. Gilchrist with
the office of mayor of Alpena.
