ence of 400 people at the M. K. church las
Friday evening with his lecture "Constantt
nople, the Heart of Egypt and the Prince Of
India" His lectures have now been mos'
thoroughly prepared and will, we believe
place him as leader in this line of work.
Sunday morning he delivered one of the
best sermons ever heard In OwOsso to
large audience at the Congregational church.
Mr.. Reitzel's visit in Owosso has been
source of great pleas to his large circle
of friends who wish him unbounded success
in the lecture field.
| On Saturday morning the death of Lily,
| wife of Carl Permely, occurred at their
home in Dendron. Virginia. Mrs. Parmely
had been sick but short time with pneu-
monia and the news of her death was great
shOck.to her MOTHER Mrs. E. ID. Gregory,
and brothers G. G. and Jasper Gregory, of
this city. Her age was 30 years. Mr.. Par
| nelly was born in OwOsso, where she had
resided nearly all her life. Seven years ago
she was married to Carl Parmely and to
them daughter, now two and half years
old, was born. The remains were brought
to Owosso, Monday; the funeral was held
Tuesday afternoon at the home of G. g.
Gregory, Rev. S. Roosevelt officiating. The
sympathy Of many friends Is extended to
Mr.. Parmely in his affliction, as we'll as to
the aged mother.
A very enjoyable surprise was given Ed
er l.. w. Spayd at the Union Chapel
Tuesday by the church and friends. Having
completed the services of the evening and
as he was about to dismiss the congregation,
he was interrupted by f. M. Seelye who
stepped forward and made neat speech APP
preciative of Mr.. ,Spayds services to the
he was held, and then in the name of the
disciples of the fourth ward and their friends
presented him with seventeen dollar over
coat 1t greatly pleased the congregation to
less in an effort to do justice to his sense of
gratitude for their kind favors. To his ex-
pressed fear that he could not make suita-
bic returns for so great favors, Mr.. Ray
mond responded in assurance that they al
ready felt themselves amply recompensed
for their part in the exchange.
A jolly party of fifty members of Owosso
Lodge No. 81, Knights of Pythias went by
special train to Ithaca last evening as guests
of Ithaca Lodge No. 65 and conferred up
on William Sowersby the amplifed Knights
pnk. The elegant hall of Ithaca Lodge, l.
o. D. F., one of the finest lodge rooms in
he state, was used for the work which was
most creditably performed. A sumptuOus
banquet was served by the lodge of Rath-
formed, and an hour of speech-making,
toasting and roasting was taken part in by
Knights L. G.. Curry, Geo. Sickman, II. s.
Hadsall, Chas. McNally, f. +. Bumps, of
Owosso, and Messrs Leet, Searles, Mccall,
Lane, and others. The Owosso quartet,
Messrs. Ed. Webb, A. Stevens, M. ID.
Roth and Viii! Gardner sang two very de-
lightful songs. The.Owosso members were
most highly entertained in every way and
expect return visit shortly.
Prof. Zeublin gave the fourth lecture in
the University Extension course at the Con-
gregational church, last Sunday evening to
an audience of 600 people, who were most
deeply interested in the subject, the Labor
Movement" The ideas of the speaker were
given so plainly, so forcibly and so eloquent
ly as to make most lasting impression on
the hearers. A history of cooperative labor
movements was given that showed the mag
nficent benefits derived. Labor unions,
their history and work, was reviewed from
their inception in England years ago and put
on legal footing in 1871, and had made
power of labor that was wonderful. The
aid of secret societies had been most i'm
portant factor in the work in England and
the rapid spreading of them in this country
proved their value. The lecturer is one of
the best informed men on labor subjects and
the opportunity Of hearing him should not
be missed. It is an education in itself.
