Reply to a Scurrilous Item Pub
lished i'm the Baraga Press
Last Week.
t. AxsF Mi,

L 'ANsE. Mich, Sept. "a, 1896
In the last issue of the Baraga
Press the following item appeared:
80 report has it, the L'Anse relief com.
mittee received 5000 more than they needed
for their fire sufferers, given them from sur
rounding towns Would il not be wise and
charitable for them to send IL TO the people
who are in absolute need of II, and not try to
create "a boom"
The L 'Anse relief committee re-
ceived\not quite three thousand dol
lars. and disposed of it according to
the intention the donors had when
they contributed the money. Ii the
L Anse relief committee received
not quite three thousand dollars
after the fire, and disposed of it,
how can the reporter of the Baragd
Press figure out that three thousand
are left. The members of the relief
committee give the advice to the re-
porter of the Press to leave pen and
ink alone; go and shovel coal or saw
wood. but don t report for paper,
because the L'Anse fire sufferers
who had the benefit of the money
contributed desire to let him know
that he is publishing fake reports.
1t would be .'wise and charitable
for the reporter of the Baraga
Press to mention the name of the
person who circulated such non
sense. Sensible people suppose
that the reporter paid visit to the
moon last week and received his
information there. If the Baraga
Press would devote less space to
scurrilous items, unjustly attacking
upright people, as in this case, and
devote more attention to what it
pleases to term telegraph news,
and have it up to date instead of
two or three months old, it would
doubtless be doing great favor to
what few subscribers it has. The
item above mentioned, as it APP
peared in the columns of the Press
was not personal attack, but felt
by the members of the relief COM
mittee, who did all in their power
to relieve the wants of the fire suf-
ferers. w. H. JOIsTEN,
Treasurer of Relief Committee.

Hard to Please Some People.

Because THE SENTINEL refrained
from commenting upon the action
brought by George Schoneweg, of
Covington, against two officials of
that township, which was heard
before the probate judge last week,
and because we did not bitterly at
tack the two officials in question,
but rather chose to let the court
decide the matter. we have received
a decidedly ungentlemanly letter
from some person at Covington,
who has not sufficient courage or
principle to sign his name to the
scurrilous epistle. Among other
things the unknown author states
that he is sick of reading Talmage S
sermons, published in THE SENTINEL
each week, and wants something
advocating free silver. In our
opinion if he would carefully read
Talmage $ sermons and follow their
instructions. he would not only get
along better in this world, but
stand a better chance of Heaven.
AS for free silver. there may be a
hell in the hereafter, but the voters
of this country will demonstrate
this fail that William Bryan will
not be elected, thereby preventing
him from raising hell on earth,
or at least in this glorous country
of ours--free America

STEAMBOAT DISABLED.
Steam Pipe Bursts and She Near
ly Goes on the Rocks.


The following is from the Calumet
News of Monday:
THE Alaska, of the Anchor line,
had'a very narrow escape from com
plete wreckage last Friday night.
She left Marquette, bound up, and
everything seemed all right with
her machinery. There was consider
able sea, but no more than she could
easily go against, when steam pipe
burst. This necessitated dampen-
ing the fires and allowing all head of
steam to escape to get at the break
to repair it. While the steam was
down the boat began to drift and
finally got uncomfortably near the
shore. An attempt was made to get
out the anchors, but the bulwarks
had to be chopped away round them
to loosen them. When they were
finally dropped they did no good, not
even getting her head up into the
wind. All haste was made to get up
steam and power was gotten just in
time to prevent the boat going on
the rocks, for, as it was, she had to
back away from shore, there not
being room to turn. While the boat
was in the trough of the sea the deck
load began to shift and some heavy
articles broke the side. Several
casks of black oil were broken and
the contents strewn about the decks,
and all in all she presented sorry
sight as she discharged freight at
Portage Lake yesterday "

Religion, morality and knowledge being

education shall forever be encouraged.-or-
dinance of Northwest Territory, 1857.
The first month of school has
ended, and not parent or member
OF the school board has visited us.
Why? We realize that it will take
some effort on your part to come.
When you consider the great good
you can do in encouraging the pupils
and teachers by showing them that
you are deeply interested in what
they are doing, we think you will
be amply repaid for making US "a
visit.
Superintendent Bower visited the
Bay Shore school Tuesday afternoon
and found Miss Shea in charge of 10
pupils, ranging from five to twelve
years of age. All seemed very much
Interested and are making rapid adj
vancement. The enrolment. we
believe, TO be the largest in the
history OF the school
Vertical writing is being in
troduced in the intermediate room.
Through the kindness OF Mr..
Mennie. with his stereopticon, the
pupils of the high school have lately
made tour around the world.
They board ID the Great Eastern at
about 10 Wednesday evening, and
after crossing the Atlantic, were
allowed "A short stop at London,
Paris, Copenhagen, Brussels, Wen
ma, Constantinoplc, Rome and many
other places OF interest. They were
also permitted to visit the cathedral
at Milan, the learning tower of
Pisa. the pyramids of Egypt, etc.
(As their time was limited they soon
found themselves at San Francisco,
homeward bound. After short
stop in Yosemite Valley, Salt Lake
City and Denver, they reached home
safe and sound about 10 p. M, feel
ing very grateful to Mr. Mennie for
their pleasant and instructive
journey.
The intermediate room makes use
of display chart. The frame was
made by two of the boys and the
chart contains specimens of the
pupils work.
A special effort is being made
along the line of spelling. In the
grammar room the girls of the
9th grade are taking the lead.
The history classes are making
rapid advancement with the new
text book.
Out of the 43pupils enrolled in the
primary room, only % are perfect
in attendance for the month.
Regular attendance is very essential
to progress in the lower grades.
1t is seldom we appreciate the
advantages of an education till we
have left school and come in contact
with the realities of life. If we have
improved our opportunities, all is
well. If we have not, we may re-
gret it, and an opportunity once
lost can never be recalled.
