Last Few Days-Notes.

Arrangements have been made for a
grand educational rally to be held in Cal

held in different parts OF the State during
the past two years, from which more ei-
fective work has come to the schools. Ii

ton couaty will be in attendance. State
Superintendent Pattengill, assisted by
Prof.. Ferris, OF the Ferris industrial

all be present and lend their influence in
making this an inspiring meeting.
Supt. Pattengill will address the people
in the Opera House on the evening OF De-
cember 10. This address will be one of
the chief attractions OF these educational
days, as Mr.. Pattengill is one OF the best
speakers in Michigan. On Friday even
ing Prof. McFarlane will deliver an ad.
dress at the Opera House. The daily
sessions will be held in the Calumet
school building. A number of meetings,
on different educational subjects, will be

thus giving teachers an opportunity OF
attending the meetings in which they are
specially interested.
These will be great days for teachers,
and it is hoped that the people of the
community will plan to attend the even
ings, at least, and get more closely in
touch with educational workers. The
meetings will all be free, and the public is |
cordially invited to attend them all.
Further particulars will be given in few
days

The Iron Mountain paper. in comment
ing on the military ball in that city. are
strong in their praise Of Calumet's popu-
lar musical organization. Among other
nice things, the Herald says:
"The beautiful strains ds,oursed by
the Fifth Regiment band rose and fell in
sweetest cadence, giving touch OF en-
chantment TO the festivities, rarely heard
in this city, and that cannot well be des-
cribed in words"
The members OF the band say they
were treated royalty by the Iron Noun
tain people.

Mr.. W. II. Hosking, the president OF
the Mckinley and Hobart club. is in the
held Tor postmaster at Calumet and n
petition for his appointment az successor
to Mr.. Grierson Is being circulated and
numerously signed Personally. the
editor OF the News is believer in civil
service reform and sees no valid reason
why the postmasters throughout the
country should be changed with the ad.

is breeder OF corruption, but considering
the doctrine ito the voters belongs the
spoils," which appears to prevail. IL il
more than probable the present incum.
bent will have to retire at the expirat ION
OF his commission, and il such is the cas.,
there can not. we think, be any doubt
but II Mr.. Hosking were appointed. the
duties OF the Office would be efficiently
performed and to the entire satisfaction
d the people OF this community. as we
believe they are at present.

CAST HIS LOT WITH BLACKS.
White Man Who Was Brought Up
Among Slaves.

White Man Who Was Brought Up
Among slaves.
Take the case of Rev. w. ]. White,
the editor of Baptist weekly published
at Augusta, Ga. White is man of in
telligence and integrity, and his ac-
count Of his early life has never been
disputed.
Briefly this is the story: A few years
before the war dark faced boy made
his appearance on large Georgia plan
tation. He was supposed to be q mulat-
TO, and when the planter died the
youngster was sold with the estate.
After the war this alleged mulatto
picked up an education and investigated
his ancestry. He was not much sur
prised TO learn that he did not have a
particle of negro blood in his veins. His
mother was an Indian and his father
was white man.
White was not long in deciding to
cast his lot with the blacks. He had al
ways been classed with them. Ii seemed
to be the will of the Almighty that he
should share the burdens of the negro
race, and he made up his mind to stick
to his old companions.
lie prospered and became q leader
among the people. He has the respect
and confidence of both races, but he has
never attempted to rise above what he
believes to be his divinely ordained
sphere. Ii is easy to see at glance that
this man Is not mulatto or a quad
room, for his mixed Indian and Can.
casian blood cannot be mistaken but he
has no desire TO cut loose from the ex-
slaves with whom he has spent the
best years Of his life.
Many Of the white ministers If his
denomination know the peculiar facts
OF his case, and they treat him with
great consideration. OVERWHELMINGLY
he leads his life of self sacrifice. and his
only object seems TO be the advancement
OF his adopted race. lie married mu.
latto and submits TO all the laws and
social distinctions which separate the
two races in the south.
Few men similarly situated would
have followed Whites example. As
rule, people of Indian and white parent
age claim to be the social equals Of Tia,
whites, and il they have Pocahouta
strain in their blood they are proud O

Well Attended.

notwithstanding the very cold and
stormy weather the Park Ice rink was
well attended last evening, the opening
night, and, as the ice was In excellent
condition and the Fifth Regiment band
was present, the young people had a very
pleasant time. The improvements at the
rink add much to the comfort OF the
place and promise to repay the mana
ger for this outlay before the season
closes. The rink will be open again this
evening with the band in attendance. A
large number OF season tickets have al
ready been sold aud the rink promis to
be the chief winter sport for Calumet's
young people.

ng the fact that one or two OF the vocal
lists were suffering from severe colds.
The entertainment started early and did
not lag. which feature added much to the
enjoyment of the Opera. The opera will
be presented for the third and last time
in this city on Monday evening next
at the Opera House and the reputation
the local talent has made for itself will
undoubtedly again draw out a large aud
fence. as the company certainly deserves.

Laurium Notes.

The dance which the members OF the
Laurium brass band had arranged TO
take place Thanksgiving night was post
poned on account of other attractions.
The band will give the dance some time
during the holiday season; the date has
not yet been fixed, but ii will be between
Christmas and New Years. The band has
lately received some new music and
are practicing regularly for the party.
Mr.. John Vivian has great deal to be
thankful for, as his wife presented him
with bouncing baby boy last Thurs
day. The son and heir weighed just nine
pounds.
The decorations in the windows OF the
dry goods department OF the Laurium
store have very pretty appearance, es-
pecially in the evening and Mr.. Daume,
the trimmer, has made quite a reputation
in that line. The pink and nile green
colors, set off by an abundance OF
white handkerchefs, make a very pretty
picture in the light OF the electric lamps,
and the strong reflector paced in the
center adds TO the effect.
Village Clerk Murphy is the happy
father OF new baby daughter.
$500 Reward
Will be given TO any person that will
prove TO Santa Claus that he does not
wish to see the big stock of Xmas pres
ents; an elegant line OF neckwear and a
full line OF handkerchiefs for men, women
and children; also full line OF dry goods,
boots and shoes. Santa Claus
has ordered that all shall be sold with |
40 cent less on each dollar. By the Lau-
rum Fair, near the postofiice.
