The anxiously awaited fair and fancy
dress ball came off on Tuesday evening
and VAS in every respect most entertain
ing and enjoy able. The Woman's Aux
iiary under whose able auspices the pro-
ceedings were organized are to be con-
graduated upon the success attained.
The work displayed on the fancy table
was beautifully executed and would have
done credit to any city bazaar. The best
articles were quickly sold, the prices
charged effectually refuting the old re-
mark that Church fairs and sales are day
light robberics. in fact the general i'm
preston was that the goods were under
valued. In the evening the dancers be-
gan to congregate, and by 8 O'Clock the
hall presented pleasing appearance of
happy faces and " ondertul gowns. There
were many beautiful costumes in which
much taste and ingenuity was displayed
but space forbids any description. The
music was excellent and the floor not un-
comfortably crowded. Charles Nallee
made an efficient master of ceremonies.
The refreshments were ample and sub
stantial. Altogether it was an evening
long to be remembered with pleasure.
Over $50 was realized.

Mayor Pingree Is an accident in poll
tics. He went into the game seven
wears ago was as green as grass.
He had never taken any active part in
the affairs Of the city or state, save
to answer each appeal for money with
a good-sized check. He had spent all
the best years of his life in the shoe
business, and 1t was one OF his pet ex-
pressions and a by-word among his
friends that there is nothing like
leather" He had joined the Michigan
club, the stalwart Republican organ
ization Of Detroit, and because of his
financial standing was made president.
This entitled him to q membership in
the Big Four-a series of eX-preSidents
who directed about all the movements
OF the party. This combination was
composed of James L. Edison, William
H. Elliott, c. A. Black and Mr.. Pingree,
and in 1883 it headed the company
which which went to the national con-
vention and struggled for the nomi-
nation Of Gen. Alger. Mr.. Pingree was
assessed the expense of the trip, de-
at the time and did not share in the
fun or the, glory.
1t was the next year-1SS9-that he
flashed across the skies and started the
career which has made him one of the
most discussed men in the country.
Detroit had always been Democratic
and the Republicans were looking for
a new man for the slaughter. There
had been called little meeting of des-
peration by the leaders, and on the way

affections would be lavished on any
colored person who chanced to come
into his presence. All the time he was
In the north, which covered a period
of several years, he seemed never to
forget the race Of the old man who had
been kind to him. One day he disap-
peared, presumably having followed
some colored person, and he has never
since been seen. Almost from that day
his mate, Lena, began to worry over
his loss. She gradually pinned away
and her death, which occurred a few
weeks later, has always been attribut-
ed to her lonliness. Another instance
of great affection, which eventually re-
suited in the animals death, occurred
in the same family. In this case Skye
terrier. which had slept near it's mis-
tress during a long illness, died shortly
after her death, undoubtedly, as many
circumstances proved, through mourn
ing It's loss. This very strong affection
which has actually sapped the life of
the animals, has been exhibited, it Is
believed by dog fanciers, oftener by
pointers and Skyes than by dogs of
any other breed.
