Belding banner. (Belding, Mich.) 1889-1918, 1895-05-02

THURSDAY. MAY 2, 1895.
The aim OF the May Festival, which
will be given at Ann Arbor, May IL
and lS, is primarily educational. I'm
der the control of the University of
Michigan, which is the head of our
educational system, it endeavors to
bring within the reach of the people of
the state that which is best in music,
just as the other departments of univer-
sity work try to present that which is
best in other ranges of science and
professional skill. Nowhere else, out
side of three or four of the largest
cities will such concerts be heard as
those announced for the Festival The
soloists are of worldwide reputation.
The orchestra stands in the front rank.
The chorus is famous as the largest
students chorus in the world, and one
of the best conducted to be found any
where. This year there is an addition
al attraction in the Columbian organ.
This festival is the first occasion af
forded to the people of the state in
general TO hear the finest organ in the
world, for the half-fare railroad rate
makes it possible from all parts Of the
state at comparatively slight expense.

Senator Briggs introduced bill in
the legislature to prohibit publishers
of newspapers who send their papers to
people without any authority whatever
from collecting pay for the same. The
bill as amended by the Senate commit
tee is short and simple, and reads as
follows: When any publisher of any
newspaper or periodical shall send by
mail or deliver any newspaper or per-
iodical for longer period than that
ordered by the subscriber or when not
ordered at all, such publisher shall be
deemed to intend that the person to
whom such paper is sent is to receive
the same free of charge, and such pub
Usher shall have no legal claim what
ever against the person to whom such
paper is sent. -" The BANNER approves
of this measure 1t would do much to-
ward aiding publishers TO adopt the
cash in advance system, and protect
the public from the INSCRIPTIONS ones
who persist in forcing their papers
upon it regardless of orders.

The editor of contemporary who
evidently is believer in always look
ing on the bright side of everything
writes: Now that kerosene is so high
that wy. masttgsfto bed early or sit in
the DARK, and the best parts of the
naughty Fexas steer ARE SO steep that
all we ca6 afford' to do is to merely
look at it, let us at least be thankful
that eggs are low enough to allow us to
eat the yolk one day and the white oil
the egg the next without entirely de
pleting the family exchequer.
