A damage suit was commenced Thurs.
day last in the circuit court against
ID. j. Simansky as noted at the time. An
officer did not go to Lake Linden to
serve the papers till Saturday when no
Slmansky wasfound and the papers were
not served. 1t appears, however, that
the future defendant has not skipped at
all, but learning OF the suit and thinking
it was brought by the semi criminal pro-
ceedure OF capais, he had gone to Menom-
inee to secure bondsmen whom he sup
posed he would need when the papers
were served.

TOO Mr.. Dunstan thinks the coming

An Old Country Superstition.

In some Of the southern counties Of
England queer superstitions are current
about eating blackberries after Michael
mas day. The country people say that
on Michaelmas eve the old gentleman
plants his cloven foot on all the
blackberries as yet ungathered. After
this date, Sept. 20, it is unlucky to
pick or eat the fruit.
The date upon which the devil "puts
ms foot down" against blackberry eat.
ing varies in different districts In
some it is as Late as Oct. 10, by which
time one would naturally suppose there
were no blackberries left to stamp out
But the story of his prohibition is told
ia many places. Great misfortune, sick,
ness or death will surely follow disobe-
dience to his orders.
But why his satanic majesty should
concern hiia5slf so particularly about
blackberries, when so many greater mat
tiers might be said to claim his atten-
tlon, none Vt the stories states. 1t may
DC that he considers blackberries too
healthy and wishes to limit the consump-
rion.

M. J. Dryer Willing

With ROwett and Stevens.
Thinks the Next session Will

NJ. j. Dryer announced yesterday
through the Marquette Mining Journal
that he is willing to meet both Rowett

seeing that Rowett does not accept his
challenge for a mixed match. Mr.. Stew

Cornish. lfDwyer should be able to de-
feat Rowett he will take with him the
championship OF the Upper Peninsula at
Cornish wrestling, Mr.. Dryer, up to
last summer, knew nothing OF Cornish
style, but at Laurium, and more espe-
cially at Negaunee, he made an excellent
showing and has since been perfecting
himself. At his fayorite sty les, catch-as-
catch-can and Greco- Roman, he can, I'M
doubtedly, throw anyone in the PENN

Salute Your Wife,

Men do not take off their hats to each
other. They nod. Many married women
complain of their husbands incivility
IN neglecting to treat them with the
same politeness they show to their
friends. Let all married men remember
that marriage does not exempt them
from raising their hats both at meeting
and saying goodby to their wives. This
oversight has often been the cause of a,
spirit OF rebellion in the young wife,
VINO sees in it reason for fancying that
her husband has ceased to care for herl
or only regards her as belonging TO-
whom any of the civilities of life are
unnecessary because she is his. In the,
same way wife should foster all those
pretty little ways of making him feel
that ne is still her Prince Charming.
Love Is SO often kept alive by these out
ward observances that are the harbin-
gers OF refinement that il behooves all to
prac'ice them. philadelphia Ledger

WANT BETTER PAY
Progress Of the Carpenters Endsavors to En-
force the Sa Rate

Yesterday morning the carpenters and
sheet metal workers, ten in number, left
the building on Twenty eighth, near
Portland street, now being built by the
firm of John Pugh & Sons The men re-
ported at the carpenters headquarters
at Council of Labor hall and were placed
on the lockout pay roll. Everything is
proceeding quietly and no disturbance is
anticipated as the Carpenters union
has always been one of the most con-
servative bodies of workingmen in the
city, Notwithstanding which they are
firm in making reasonable demands.
The Gray job on the corner of Third
and Main streets was deserted yester-
day morning with the exception OF the
two contracting plasterers and Pugh's s
foreman.
The following additional contractors
have agreed to pay the union scale of
wages: j. johnson, two story residence
on Twenty-ninth street. west Of Hoover:
G. j. Ingersoll, job shop, Fifth street.
near Spring; E. Luentzel, two-story
dwelling and extensive repairs on Maier
& zobeleins brewery; s. Remington job
shop, Third street, near Main. This
makes the total number forty-one.

chiefs. Colonel Fellows in introducing
Mr.. Z. H. Farrar Of Louisiana referred
to one of the conspicuous figures of
the Chicago convention, Planter Mars
ton. who, Mr.. Fellows remarked. 80
generously watered the somewhat arid
wastes of his thoughts.'
That 1t might be thought that all Of
the far south was embittered by Sec
tionalism, Mr.. Fellows said, Mr.. Farrar
had been asked to speak.
Mr.. Farrar referred to the Populistic
anaconda that swallowed the Chicago
convention, and assured his hearers that
the reptile" had not cured its slime
or fastened its fangs on everybody in
his part of the United States. His
speech was decidedly bitter against the
platform and nominees of the Chicago
convention, and abounded in references
to Socialists, cranks and anarchists.
After Mr.. Farrar had finished there
were more cries for Breckenridge. The
audience was not to be satisfied in its
desire to hear the silver-tongued orator
Of Kentucky the announcement of
whose appearance had brought many to
the hall.
Col. Fellows. advancing to the front of
the platform. raised his hand, commanding
silence and said: "Mr. Breckenridge has
declined to speak on account of the late
ness of the hour and has left the hall for
his hotel"
This announcement brought down howls
OF disappointment and there was much
grumbling while the galleries were being
emptied.
The hour was II o'clock. Col. Breckin-
ridge had not been visible in the hall al
any time during the meeting and there
was much speculation concerning the cir
cumstances of his failure to appear.
