Rev. j. Edward Reilly. OF Hancock,
gave his interesting lecture on the Low
lands of Scotland" at the Opera House
last evening for the benefit OF Co. c, Sec
ond Michigan Boys Brigade, connected
with the Red Jacket Congregational
church. The lecture was illustrated by
means OF large number OF stereopticon
views on 200 feet of canvass and pow
erful calcium light.
The reverend gentleman has al excel
lent delivery and speaks IN a very dis
tinct and clear manner. which makes his
talk doubly interesting. His scenes are
all from personal observation and one
feels as If he were right at home when the
picture is brought before him. The lee
ture is interspersed with pleasant With
cisms which have the effect OF keeping the
audience in constant good humor. The
boys, who attended in body, netted a
neat sum from the lecture.

Since Frank Schumacher has taken hold
of the old Alt meat market, the shop has
been undergoing series improvements
until now il is one Of the best and most
thoroughly well equipped meat markets
in the county. An addition has been
built to the rear OF the building and this
gives greater convenience in the rear
rooms, which are used for the manufac-
ture Of sausage. This part OF the estab-
llshment has undergone complete reno
walton and is now equipped with every
thing OF the best known to the manufac-
turer. Mr.. Schumacher has secured the
services OF Mr.. Hamll, OF lshpeming,
formerly connected with Bradstad's shop

this business. Mr.. Schumacher is now in
condition to give better satisfaction to
his customers than ever before.

vived Here.
Preparations for the Fourth
Are Being Made and n Glorious Time

Ii now appears that baseball clu b
composed OF some of the members OF the
old Calumet team. will be an actually at
last, and that local cranks on that sub
iect will be again given an opportunity
to see good base ball played here. A
game had been arranged to take place
here on Saturday. the Goth inst, with
the Houghton club, but this had to be in
definitely postponed because the Bara-
gas and Houghtons meet at the latter
city on Sunday, the 21st inst, and the
Houghton team is not able to play every
week because the members cannot get
away from their employment so often.
However, it is thought that the Baragas
can come up and play here on the goth
inst, and at Houghton on the following
day.
A game may also be arranged with the
Marauettes on the following Saturday,
az they play at Houghton on the 2Sth
inst, and arrangements can probably be
effected for game on the 9th inst. with
the local club.
Most of the outside teams OF any rep J.
tation are anxious to get game with
Calumet il they can be guaranteed a re-
turn game. Correspondence is also being
carried on with the Ontonagon team,
who want the Calumet club TO go to their
city, and offer $50 guarantee il they
will play there.
A local enthusiast has handed the News
the following list OF players with their
corresponding positions:
Catcher-Joseph Soddy
Ptcher-James Renwick
First Base-Charles L. Fichte
Second Basel. DeRocher.
Third Base-Noye.
Short Stop-Robert Renwick
Left Field-Will Weir.
Center Fied-Will Williams
Right Field-James Richards
A glance at the above list shows that
each and every one il an able player,
some Of whom were members OF the old
club, and who had regulations that com
pared most favorably with the profes.
sional players. and the new men have
shown on several occasions that they
could play good ball. 1t is probable that
permanent organization will be effected
soon.

The Glorious Fourth.

A meeting of citizens Is called for this
evening at the Opera House for the pur-
pose OF making arrangements for the
proper observance of the anniversary Of
the inependence OF our country on July 4
and il Is hoped that the citizens and busl-
ness men in general will be patriotic and
show, by attending this meeting, that
the old spirit of 1776 has not died out.
There is no question but that Red
Jacket should celebrate, and in a right
royal manner, as: has always been the
custom; but someone must take the first
step in the matter and unless this meeting
is well attended the matter Is apt to be
dropped and Red Jacket will be shut out
in the cold.
The Y. NJ. c. A. has decided to hold it's
field day on the Fourth, but this will only
aid in drawing people to our burg, and
the fact that the new track will be for
mally opened on that occasion will also
attract considerable number of people
But the citizens should also decide on
some exercises for the day and make an
effort, at least, towards it's proper OBJ
seryance.
Meetings have already been held in
Houghton, Hancock and South Lake
Linden and committees appointed to look
after celebrations at those places, and il
no like effort is made to keep the people

spent on that day will GO away instead
