Choosing a Husband

At the Bloomingdale Reform.
ed church of New York Rev.
Madison c. Peters recently
preached on Young Women and
Marriage" He took forhis text,
Ruth, 1, g.:
1.-The Lord grant that you may
find rest, each of you 10 the
house Of her husband.
The New York World presents
these salient bits of the ministers
discourse
DR.. Peters said that when a
young woman accepts a mans
offer Of marriage she does the
most serious and solemn thing in
her life. He wanted to give
them some good advice in regard
to getting married.
81. l warn you against the
snare of appearances" he said.
There are tricks in love as well
as in trade. One of them is to
make things seem to be what
they are not. Asyou value your
life, do not marry manikin, a
hatter'G show block a tailor's Law
figure.
20. Never marry man to
mend him or reform him. If a
man will not reform to please his
sweetheart he will never do SO to
please his wife. 1 am the father
of two little girls, and rather
than that they should marry men
who drink l should prefer TO see
them in their graves.
3. Marry your equal. On the
other hand, do not marry for
ambition. Do not marry man
whose age is greatly dispropor,
donate to your own. Youdo not
want to spend your best days
ministering to a superannuated
person.
a. Do not make matrimony
matter Of money. So common
has the mercantile estimate of
marriage become that should
not be surprised TO see the ny
meneal market chronicled IN the
newspapers, and the prices cur.
rent quoted in the stock ex-
change.
II know it is accounted a silly
thing to marry for love, but the
woman who for the want of it re-
duces marriage to a mercenary
contract degrades marriage, de-
grades herself and inficts an if.
reparable outrage on the man
she marries.
Don't hesitate to marry a
poor man, but be sure that he
has something more than his
poverty to commend him.
"And here let me say, marry a
man who is industrious. The
young man who lives off the
earnings of his father until he
can find girl who is fool enough
to marry him, will very likely
live off his wife's father. A do
nothing man will make good
for nothing husband.
Lastly, pause long before
you say the word that ends your
chance of realizing your ideal OF
marriage. Do not become cyni-
cal. The world is full of grand
husbands and full of young men
who will make the right sort OF

Wednesdays Crowd.

With the exception of few short show
ers, Wednesday was as good day as any
one could wish for circus day. The crowd
was fully as large as any one could have
hoped to see here and on the whole 1t was
quite we'll behaved.
Park, East Main, Comstock and Ball
street were almost completely choked with
vehicles of every description, while every
available foot of stable space was filed with
the horses. The front streets were packed
with people.
The parade itself was all that could be
expected and enough apparently to make
the people think that IL they could get so
much for nothing it would certainly pay to
see the whole show.
There were enough fim-fam games so
that any would-be sucker who felt absolute
ly obliged to could easily part with his hard
earned coin, and this is one of the incidents
which marred the day, as 1t really does seem
as though such helpless infants should be
cared for and prevented from turning their
pockets inside out for the benefit of travel
ing fakirs.
But the crowd had money to spend legiti-
mately also and the merchants did big
business as did also the various eating
houses. In fact, though the circus carried
away some thousands of dollars 1t was not
all wasted money, as good many hundreds
of dollars were left in the ctv In exchange
for honest goods at Owosso's lowest prices.

Teachers Institute.

Today closes the teachers institute which
has been in session all the present week in
Corunna. The institute has been very sue
cessful in every respect, and in point of
numbers, has made an excellent showing,
increasing from eighty-fve the first fore
noon to nearly one hundred and fifty.
Five days is rather short time in which
to cover the whole curriculum of the coun-
try schools and impart working knowl-
edge of many higher branches, especially In
the purely professional parts of the work,
but the program arranged and carried out
did all that would be expected in the time
at hand and was credit to the conductor
The corps of instructors was good one
and each instructor proved himself COM
petent man. The instructors were: G. l..
Bemis, Of Ionia; g. A. Mckee, of Hudson,
and W. f. McKone, of Mason, the con-
ductor. Mr.. McKone is very we'll known
In the county as an able and energetic man,
and 1t was enough to assure the success of
the institute to have him placed in charge
of It. o. L. Bristol, Shiawassee's popular
commissioner, was also present and much
of the success of the meeting was due to
bis careful attention to the details of the in.
stitute.
The institute not only aims to give re-
view of the subjects taught and to show the
best methods Of teaching those subjects, but
the instructors attempt to inspire the teach
ers to make use of all widening influences
in literature, knowledge of current events,
ETC., which come in their path and so con-
stantly improve their own minds. The
work done was good and will leave last
ing impression. In fact teachers insti-
tute under such up to date instructions al
ways proves of sufficient interest and en-
couragement to well repay the attendance
of many who are not teachers at all, while
of course no teacher could afford to miss
one.

NEARLY A SUICIDE.
Geo. A. Lyon, of Oak street, Makes a
Botch of the Job.

Geo. A. Lyon, of Oak street, Makes a
Botch of the Job.
George A. Lyon made an attempt to COM
NIT suicide early Thursday morning by cut
ting his throat with razor, but while he
will have scar which will be unpleasant to
shave over and has lost enough blood to
give him chance to stock up with better
grade article, he made poor job of 1t and
will doubtless recover.
Lyon has been working recently at carp
enter work in the country, but drove in
Wednesday to attend the circus. This of
itself was nothing to make man wish to
kill himself, but by midnight he had evil
IDENTIFY seen something besides the circus,
and when he later went to his house, at
312 south Oak street, he felt more ugly and
untamed than any of the animals at the
do to himself, had hidden his things so that
be could not start back at once with his
horse and tools. This and other things put
him in a fury and he attacked his wife so
furiously that she started to run to neigh
bors for assistance. Lyon followed her
part way and she heard him call out that he
had ''done it." She did not know what,
but when the neighbors appeared 1t was
found he had cut his throat.
Officer Barrisford was called and DIR.
Phippen was sent for. DIR. Phippeu was
going to sew up the wound, but the man
who was fool enough to cut his own throat
was two cowardly to allow the doctor to
sew up the wound without taking chic
roform. Accordingly DR.. Mccormick was
summoned and he put the fellow to sleep,
while thirteen stitches were taken in his
neck. The wound missed the main arteries
but made slight cash in the windpipe.
The man had two razors on his person
and evidently had been determined to do a
better job. 1t is said that he had threatened
to cut his throat some time before when in
an ugly mood. Possibly now that he knows
what it is like he will be less anxious to do
so in the future.
Mrs. Lyon, who has two daughters under
ten years of age, has been married to him
some over year and is beginning to think
she has lived with him long enough, but
will care for him until he is able to get out
again,
