S STILL HOPEFUL.
MI. Aldrieh by No Means Gives Up
the Contest.
AND CLAIMS MCKINLEY STILL
FALLS SHORT OF MAJORITY.

General Grosvenor on the Other Hand
Says 1t is All Settled But the Shout
ing--Mr. Platt Tells why Mckinley
Shouldn't Be Nominated.
Washington, May 10.-Congressman
Aldrioh made tonight the following state
nent:" The friends of Speaker Reed fully
conscious of the gains made by Mckinley
IN the pending national contest during
the past week, but with full information
concerning the position and standing of
the delegates thus far elected, are yet
hopeful il not confident of the ultimate
| vention. Up to date there have been
selected 832 of total of 918 delegates Of
| which number it is reasonable to say Gov.
| Mckinley has excluding contested cases,
361 votes Concerning the latter we will
not PREJUDICE the action of the convention.
The number Of delegates yet to be
selected Is Sc Should he succeed in
capturing them all and he will not get
| the half of them. he will still fall of short
of the necessary majority and must rely
upon the contested cases to give him the
nomination. All Republicans favor pro-
tection. It is quite evident the tariff will
not be the sole issue Of the campaign for a
new and more important element now
commands public attention. The
straddling platform will never, nor any
candidate on it, gain the full conf
dence of the people, 1t is for this reason,
and because we believe that sentiment is
undergoing rapid and radical change in
that particular that we are convinced the
candid and sober judgement of the dele
gates after the deliberation which will
be had between now and the 10Th of
june will nominate Mr.. Reed because he
is the best represtentati of the great
business interests of the financial world
and American people,

A WORD FROM PLATT.

Why New York Man Thinks Mckinley
Won't Be Nominated.
New York, May lo.-Mr. Platt contin-
uss to maintain that the nominee of the
Republican national convention will not
be VIM. Mckinley. Tonight, he said {:
"The convention will contain 919 dele
gates 1t will require AGO to nominate.
According to the figures printed in
the Tribune this morning, which are not
in all respects in accord with the facts
as understand them, the delegates in
structed for Mckinley are $40. This is
$50 votes short Of the nomination. Only
sS delegates remain to be chosen. When
the time comes to vote in the oonven-
tion McKinley's support will be little in
excess of the number who consider them
selves bound by instruction. My oppo-
sition to Gov. Mckinley proceeds almost
entirely from my belief that he will get
the Republican party into turmoil and
trouble. He is simply clever gentle
man, much too amiable, much too i'm
questionable, to be safely intrusted with
IL great executive Office, whose quest fol-
the honor happens to have the accidental
advantage of the association of his
name with the last Republican tariff.
When the national convention gets down
soberly to the work of choosing a candi-
date they are not apt to overlook the fact
that in four months campaign per
s0nality and record will be subjected to
the searchlight of hostile oritioism.'

Kinley on the first ballot. I insist upon

struoted, pledged, or known to be sup
porters of Mckinley. If should doubt
the integrity Of the men who had ac-

His table of votes for Mckinley by
states and territories shows an aggregate
of 548. in addition to which, he asserts,
that II votes east of the Alleghanies not
enumerated by him or included within
his table, should be counted for
Mckinley.
Grosvenor figures out for him 4S8 un-

Michigan Dive Works

u. Greek, proprietor OF the Michigan
dye works, wishes to thank the public Of
Houghton county for the large share OF
patronage that has been extended to him
since he opened his dye works and gener r
al repair shop last summer on Fifth
street, Red Jacket, opposite L. Ryan's
store. That the business men and the
community at large are well satisfied
with the quality and price of the work
done may be seen by the appended list OF
patrons. As the Michigan dye works is a
permanent industry in Calumet, Mr..
Greek wishes to inform the public that
he will be always at his Office and shop
to receive garments to be dyed or re
paired, and that the work will be done
promptly and for a reasonable price.
Owing to years of experience in the bust
ness, patrons need not be afraid to en-
trust valuable garments to Mr.. Greek to
clean, repair or alter. In having gar
ments dyed it means everything to have
them pressed by a competent tailor, and
only first-class male tailor is employed
mt the Michigan dye works.
The public are invited to call and see
the work done, or to refer to any OF the
patrons OF the dye works, opposite f.
Ryan's store. Fifth street, Red Jacket.
References can be had OF any PROBES
sional or business man OF Calumet, Lake
Linden, Hancock. or Houghton.
Orders may be sent by postal card
when the goods will be called for and de
livered to any part OF the county.

HIGH TEA.
What the English Eat at the Function
They Claim Their Own.

What the English Eat at the Function
They Claim Their Own.
Tho high tea Is peculiarly an English
institution. 1t Is meal at which much
Of the formality which attends dinner is
dispensed with, but the menu Is of more
satisfying character than that Of the usual
O'Clock tea, with its thin bread and but
ter, waters and cakes.
The high ten Is particularly favored In
tho hunting season, when the sportsmen
return from the field two UT three hours
before dinner time with appetites sharp
ened by a long gallop In the fresh air.
Then 1t is that the high tea affords the
hungry ones something to tide over the
time until dinner and gives them n chance
to rest before taking off their scarlet coats
and hunting boots.
At many country houses this hour Is
considered the pleasantest Of the day. The
ladies appear In their prettiest tea gowns,
the conversation Is usually interesting and
spirited, the hour Is that charming one
''between the dark and the daylight, and
everything tends to make tho participants
linger long around the table.
The meal partakes Of the nature OF
breakfast, luncheon and dinner without
being too nearly like any Of them. Tea,
of course, Is served and Is made at the
table by tho hostess, being kept warm un-
der dainty cozy.
Claret and even beer are allowable for
the tired and thirsty sportsmen, though
the latter Is rarely asked for. The table IL
well furnished with substantial eatables
for the mon and with daintios for the
ladies.
A cold boiled Yorkshire ham Is often In
evidence. 1t appears on the table In q
dress suit, as 1t were, highly glazed and
ornamented. After 1t has been we'll boiled,
skinned and thoroughly cooled, 1t Is treated
to two or three coats Of melted glaoe,
which gives 1t dark and shining appear
ance. Then 1t Is ornamented with butter,
which has been worked with fork till
soft, but not oily. 1t is applied so as to
outline pattern on the glace with small
white paper funnel The shank of the
ham has a frill of paper or fringed dolly
arranged around It, and a little fresh
parsley garnishes the whole.
