PENINSULA MATTERS
RELATED IN A BRIEF. CONCISE
MANNER.
Detroit Celebrated the Centennial Ami
versary of Her Freedom from British
Authority - Splendid Speeches, Fine
Parade and Lots of Enthusiasm.
when the British Left Detroit.

Detroit and Michigan celebrated the
one hundredth anniversary of the day
when the British flag of King George
III was hauled down from old Fort
Lernoult at Detroit and the last vestage
of British authority disappeared from
the borders of Uncle Sans domain.
The Wolverine metropolis never con-
tanned more enthusiastic throng of
people than filled the broad avenues
on that anniversary day. The city
hall, the post office, the business
houses, dwellings, street cars, wagons,
bicycles and everything capable of
being decorated proclaimed the fact
that the spirit of &c was very much
alive.
The morning was given to speeches
and other patriotic exercises which
were held in the new government
building Gen. r. A. Alger presided
and after PRAYER by Bishop G. Mott
Williams he made short address re-
lating the occasion of the celebration.
"America" was rendered by band and
then a bronze tablet placed on the
front of the building was unveiled.
Chas. Flowers delivered an address of
welcome and then Col. Henry NJ. Duff
field was introduced and he made a
stirring speech bearing upon the his
tory of the event being COMMUNICATED.
Senator julius C. Burrows, the orator
of the day, followed the singing of
1.-THE Sword of Bunker Hill" by Homer
Warren and Robert Murray, my
Country 'Tis of Thee" by the Boylston
club. Mr. Burrows grafton was
greeted with much applause and was
thoroughly patriotic A short talk upon
historical Detroit by President Angel
of the u. of NJ. and then Bishop Foley
delivered the benediction after which
the guests of honor, including Gov. Rich
and staff, were given a ride and lunch
con on the river.
One of the most attractive parades
which ever formed in line in Detroit
was the feature of the afternoon eXer-
cises. 1t included military and civic
societies, police, letter carriers, etc.
Fully 100000 people witnessed the
spectacle.

A TERRIBLE RIDE.

From the Times. Buffalo. N. Y.
Along one OF the dismal roads In
Western New York. a man and wife
were driving as rapidly as the darkness
and Indictment weather would permit.
The rain beat down upon the rubber
covering and found its way into every
crack and opening. The occupants OF
the buggy were Dean Jones and his
wife. or Springville. N. Y. Everybody
Is FAMILIAR with the name. He is the
Tell-known starting judge. who has be-
come famous for his impartial and fair
treatment OF Jockeys at the post.
IL was about ten years ago when
Mr.. and Mrs Jones took that fateful
ride that came near costing her her
life. Mrs. Jones clothes were thorough
ly soaked before town was reached.
There was no fire in their hotel room
and she became chilled 10 the bone be-
fore the little blaze the attendant start
ed warmed the atmosphere. From that
time on Mrs. Jones was an Ill woman.
Her trouble-well, II was about every
thing with which human flesh can be
afflicted. She had a strange, queer
feeling In her head, that felt as II sew
eral shot were rolling around loose on
her Drain. Pen cannot describe the
torture she suffered Local doctors told
her she had water on the brain. A
Times reporter called upon Mrs. Jones.

The reporter was forced 10 admit
that he had seldom seen a more per-
feet embodiment OF health.

said: DIR. Williams Pink Pills for

Mr.. Jones said: You can readily

had a wife and mother restored to per-
feet health"

A Substitute for PRAYER.

A very funny, If somewhat irrever-
ent, story is told of West Franklin
man who was taken very i'll. Two
clergymen, hearing of their brothers
misfortune, called upon him to offer
spiritual consolation. They were
warmly received by the sick man who
asked them to pray for him and ex-
pressed his belief in religion as a
great thing for a man, especially in
case of sickness" To this one of the
good ministers replied that it was
good at all times; for the young and
middle-aged, and when man got to be
old, infirm and lame its worth could
not be told" At this the eyes of the
sick man frightened and forgetting his
weakness, he said:
81 know something that beats Il ali
hollow for lameness and that is pure
skunk's grease, without a blankety
blank particle of lard in IL. I've got IL
to sell at 81 plnty'-Lewiston (Me.)

feet long and has five rows of teeth

are found ind India, where they are
very numerous in Africa, etc. The
way they catch sharks is lowering n
piece of meat on a sharp hook land

the shark is very hungry always, that
he will grab at the meat and find him

shark has been floating about on the
water for some time il gets a lot OF
small fish in its mouth and they will
go and lay on the beach and let small
birds come in their mouth and pick
them off and will not heart them. The
shark can live in water and on land.
Going from England to Indiad you will
see sharks in the nile, they will follow

Senator Dubois is slowly but surely
winding himself up. The nobby young
senator has been getting int deeper
water continually the past few years
and the past few weeks the water seems
to have got suddenly deeper, and things
have been going against the bold young

said Dubois had threatened to bolt the
national Republican ticket.
This hasn't been received very kindly
by the Idaho Republicans. and the
opinion seems to be pretty general that
the senator should either stand by the
national nominees or stay away from
the st. Louis convention.
A prominent Republican state official
said today that it was a doubtful thing
now whether Dubois could 60 to the

The senator also wrote the following

This Fem letter was shown to the
Statesman, but they. of course, would
not print it, but wired the senator, and
