- MINERs, pIe vICroRY.

Yesterday witnessed the biggest and
most complete victory that labor has
ever won in this country. In the
miners strike the operators surrender
ed. horse. foot and dragons, and every
operator in the Pitsburg district will
on October pay the 69-cent rate, with
a fve-cent diHerenual in favor of the
operators who DO not run company
stores This action affects 100000 men.
it means an increase in the Ohio and
Indiana rate Of from 81 cents to go. It
will also mean, doubtless, proportion
ate increases I'm this State.
Probably the biggest part Of the vic
tory is the defeat Of DeArmitt, who has
heretofore been an iuyincible foe of the
miaers. having until now whipped them
at every turn.
The victory. also, Will mean the abol'
ishment Of the Ubiquitous company
siore..as witness the action Of W. P.
Rend Of Chicago. who has not only
agrsed TO abolish these stores in his
mines. but has offered to loan the men
money TO run them on the cO-Opera-
tive plan.
This is the most notable Of all the
rumbsrless increases Of wages that
have taken place this year. adding as

sister Miss Stella Belanger, who is soon
to leave her wide circle of friends at
home. The guests were right royalty
entertained, an interesting drawing and
guessing contest resulting in the first
prize being awarded to Miss May
Emmons. Mrs. Lynch was evident on
all hands in true Grand Rapids hospi-
tality, and the ladies had one of those
jolly, unrestrained times which they
always have when met without the
sterner sex. Miss Stella has hosts of
friends here and regret at her going
was freely expressed. Among those
present were:
The Misses Helen Kroner, Emma
Smith, Jennie and Ella Hasbrouck, Mrs.
Thebey, May and Celia Emmons, Nettie

Will rIove to Green Bay.

Mr.. and Mrs. Chas. Smith are about
to remove from their pleasant little
home at the brow of the bill on Baker
St. to make their future residence in
thriving Green Bay. Mr.. Smith, who
is freight conductor on the G. B. road
has had his run changed, so that he
will have much more time in the city
at the other end Of the line including
every Sunday and several evenings.
As it has been heretofore, Mr.. Smith
could find but little time to be at home
in this city. While We are sorry to lose
this worthy young couple from our
midst, we are pleased with them that
they are able to better their condition.
Cbas. is a popular fellow on the Green
Bay road and jolly gentleman whom
were always glad to meet. He will still
end up in Grand Rapids few times
each week. Mrs. Nellie Smith is Il
thorough Grand Rapids girl and will
leave many pleasant associations behind
They have nice home awaiting them
at the Bay right next to the residence
of his parents. They will ship their
house effects Saturday morning. We
need not commend them to the good
people of Green Bay as they are
already quite well known there, but we
wish them happy associations and hope
they will meet with the same consider
atoms in their new home that they
have found at the hands of Grand
RapidS' best society
