Lady NlaccubeeS.

A. O. l.. w. hall was the scene OF
a pleasant and profitable gathering
Monday afternoon and evening, the
occasion being three schools of in
struction for the benefit OF the mem
bers of Meadow Brook Hive, No.
554, of this city, by Miss Margaret
V. Bower. of Ann Arbor, the able
deputy commander of the Great
Hive. L. O. Z. NJ of Michigan.
Miss Bower is a lady of command
ing presence, thoroughly versed in
parliamentary rules, possesses rare
executive ability and is quick 10 de-
tect flaw, and just as quick to ad-
Just it. Her drill in floor work was,
we are informed, excmplifed in u
perfect and decidedly able manner.
Three members were admitted Mon
day, and Miss Bower complimented
the officers of the lodge upon the
able manner in which they per-
formed their respective duties, and
also expressed her satisfaction that
the lodge was in such prosperous
condition.
Meadow Brook Hive was organic
ed two years ago with twenty-six
members, and now numbers sixty
six.
Following the first session Mon
day elaborate refreshments were
served, after which work was con
tinued until late hour. The mem-
bers feel that they have been great
ly benefited by Miss Bowers teach
ing and are highly pleased with her
visit.
Mrs. J. b. Smith has held the
Office of commander of Meadow
Brook Hive since its organization,
and to her excellent and able ability
for the Office depends largely the
success the lodge has met with.

No Bidders for u. Il. State Lands.

The state land commissioner olst
week at Lansing offered for sale at
auction 5000 acres Of valuable land
in the upper peninsula, to which the
state recently acquired title by virtue
of an old land grant from the United
States government. The minimum
price at which the lands could BE-
sold was SO per acre, and there were
no bidders at any price. The reason
for the failure of the commissioner
to sell the lands lies in the fact that
in six months the price may be re
duced to sc per acre, and in six
months more to - per acre, that
being the minimum figure at which
the lands may be sold. Prospective
BUYERS are undoubtedly waiting for
the lower price to be established.

Death of Rev. Nj. w. Tuck.

The following is from the Howard
City Mich Record of the 18th inst.
giving an account of the death of
Rev. Nj. w. Tuck, father of Prof.
G. +. Tuck, who was until lately a
resident of L Anse
Rev. NJ. w. Tuck, who had been
ailing for some two years, at last
succumbed TO the ravages of disease,
passing away Sunday morning at
o clock. The deceased was a mem
ber of the Congregational church at
this place. He had lived here for q
number Of years, ever since he was
compelled to resign ,the ministry on
account of i'll health. Becoming a
Christian early in life, he gave his
attention to the call to be a preacher
of the gospel. For thirty-two years
he served various churches in four
different states, New York, Penn
sylvania, Michigan. and a southern
state His success in all these
churches was above the average. He
at one time baptised by immersion,
thirty-siX persons in forty-one min
utes. He kept record OF all his
work, so that at his death all the
marriages, funerals, baptisms, and
the text of most Of his sermons could
be found He was a constant help
TO hfs-pastor in the Coral Congrega-
tional church. an inspiration to the
young people in their Christian
work, the counselor of all his friends,
The church mourns his loss; the
community will long remember his
uprightness. integrity and charity.
The societies OF which he was a mem
ber lose in him consistent brother.
The wife and family who survive
him have the sincere and deep SYM
pathy of all his friends. Rev NJ w.
Tuck was 80 years OF age. He had
been married 46 years, his wife sur
viving him. To them were born four
sons, all of whom are living and three
of whom We're present at the funeral.
Mrs. Tuck took the afternoon train
Wednesday for Watertown, South
Dakota, in company of her son, who
lives at that place. The best wishes
of her many friends 90 with her,
trusting that the strong arm upon
which She has been leaning so many
years will Still support her; that the
hus sband OF the widow will be her
stay.

The Editors Coin.

Some inquisitive fellow has spent
considerable time investigating the
different ways in which men carry
their money He has found that
butchers and bakers carry it in a
crumpled wad. The saloon keeper
gives it one fold and stores it on the
inside of his vest. The banker
takes it around with him in a NOR
occo pocket book with the bills laid
full length. Farmers and their
hired men carry it in their trouser s
pocket. For some unaccountable
reason we are not told how editors
carry their money. If the inquisi-
tive investigator had extended his
research in this direction he would
have found that the editors money
is carried by delinquent subscribers.

Look at the List!

The free silver organs and orators
OF the pure demagogue brand are all
the time ringing the changes on
Gold is the money of the rich . and
Silver is the poor man S money y
OF course this is done for no other
purpose than TO prejudice the poor
man against gold money. This is
the sole and only object of the dcma-
gogues who rant in that way. As
every dollar under the existing sys-
TEN, vile her of gold, silver or pa
per. is worth 100 cents, it is very
clear that there is no point to be
made in calling gold the money of
the rich and silver the money OF the
poor, The point is to be made. how
ever, in the case OF unlimited free
coinage at 16 to |, for then the poor
man will get 53-cent instead of 100
cent dollars for what he sells. wheth-
en- it be labor on the products of
labor.
But the idea sought to be i'm
pressed upon the poor man mind
by these demagogues, that the rich
men are all for gold, etc, is about
the stupidest invention yet con
ceived. Here is an authenticated
List of fabulously rich men in this
country who are for free silver atNf6'

list at that, vouched for by the Re

committee, who have the documents

mittee' 5 published list of rich free
silverites and the estimated wealth
