steamer, Christopher Columbus. The
special train will leave Calumet at $50
and connecting with the steamer at
Closes dock. The. famous Fifth Regi-
ment band will attend andrender several
concerts on board.
On entering the Canadian harbor to-
morrow, the band will render a medley
introducing" Gods ave the Queen, ""Amer-
lea, "Starepangled Banner" and several
other national airs. The concerts to be
given by the band, the picturesque seen

More Honors for Mr. Duncan.

Mr.. and Mrs. Duncan left on Saturday
afternoon for Pittsburg, where Mr.. Dun
can will receive the thirty-third degree in
Masonry. There are, We believe, only six
teen thirty-third degree Masons in Michi-
gan, and as Mr.. Duncan was elected to
this degree without any solicitation on
his part the honor must be considered all
the greater. Mr.. Duncan will visit Me.
kinley at Canton before he returns. 1t
will be remembered that Mr.. Stephenson
visited this place, between trains, some
two or three months ago, which az he
then said, was on private business. His
deiamers laughed at the idea, and, OF
course, knew better, but, as in other
cases, they were wrong, for his business
then was to make arrangements for the
visit of Mr.. and Mrs. Duncan to Pitts
burg and which we knew at the time.

A Japanese Preacher.

There was something decidedly out of
the ordinary at the Calumet NJ. f. church
services yesterday both morning and
evening. A young Japanese student
acted az clergyman and made many
friends among the church goers. He
preached to large audience in the morn
ing and nearly 900 people were at the
evening service. He held the rapt atten-
ton OF his hearers ut the evening service
for an unusually long time, and his SER
mon was very interesting. He spoke in
the English language and sho wed that his
knowledge OF our language was far above
the average Americans.
He is a graduate OF Albion college and
will give lecture at the church next
Thursday evening. 10 this be will be
assisted by another Japanese, a post
graduate OF the law department of the
University OF Michigan, who will arrive
here Wednesday. They will both appear
n native costume, and the lecture prom.
ses 20 be unusually interesting.

News About Town.
A New Pastor for the
Calumet Methodist
Church.
Rev. Mr.. Eastman Appointed
Church-Resuit OF the News
Ballot.

A telegram was received here yesterday
iron Rev. John Sweet from the Detroit
conference then ia session at Flint, stat
ing that the Rev. {. :. Eastman, the
present pastor of the Calumet church,
had been appointed TO ST. lgnace and
that Rev. John Sweet, at present presid-
ing elder for the Lake Superior district.
with headquarters here, had been APP
pointed TO the passionate of the NJ. Z.
church at Adrian. The new pastor OF
the Calumet NJ. L. church is Rev. j. L.
Warner, while the Rev +. b. Bancroft,
whose place Rev John Sweet will take,
has been appointed presiding elder OF
this district.
The new pastor of the Calumet NJ. +.
church is well known to many Lake Su-
perior and particularly copper country
people, as a very hard worker and an ex-
cellent speaker. He was at one time pas
tor at Lake Linden and il was mainly
due TO his efforts that the fine church at
that place was built.
Every effort was made by the officers
OF the local church to have the Rev. John
Sweet take the passionate. He was inter
viewed by the trustees before leaving for
conference and the question then came
up. when he told them that he would not
come back unless he was the unanimous
choice OF the trustees. The trustees met
last week and telegraphed to that effect,
but it did not effect the decision OF the
conference.
The change OF pastorates will probably
be effected within the course OF a week
or ten days as conference has already ad
iourned. The many friends OF the Sweet
family will learn with regret, of their de-
parture from Calumet. The Rev. L. W.
Frazee will remain at Tamaraek for an
other year. 1t is not known where the
new presiding elder will make his head
quarters.
