THE GORDON HIGHLANDERs.
The Famous Scottish Regiment Tint
Has Earned u New Title to Zane

Has Earned u New Title to Fame,
From the New York Herald.
The LIST Battalion of the Gordon High
LADDERS, of whose exploits on the Indian
frontier the cable has recently brought
such sad, yet stirring, news, is better
known to Scotsmen by it's old title-viz the
18th, or Stirlingshire. regiment of foot.
1t was not until the year 1881 that the
18th Stirlingshire and the 92d, the original
Gordon Highlanders," were amalgamated
one territorial regiment under the fore
going title. This took place when the 10Th
foot were stationed ct the Strada Reale
barracks, Malta. Hence they were i'm
mediately christened the Strada Reale
Highlanders, while popular conundrum
among military folk at the time was,
What is the difference between the 92d
ard the 75th?" the answer being, 1.-THE
first are real Highlanders, but the others

seven years before the Gordon Highlanders
were formed. Strangely enough, the regi-
n,ent's first taste of glory took place in In
Ola, where it was Immediately ordered TAX
ing part In the siege and capture of Sering-
apatam, 1893, and remaining there until
1906.
In 1909 the designation, and with it the
Uniform. of the regiment was changed from
the 10Th Highlanders to the 10Th Foot,
which was retained until 1862 when it be-
came the 10Th Stirlingshire, in remem-
brance of its origin. The regiment, unfor-
| tunately, did not have any opportunity of
| taking part in either the Peninsula or Wa
| terloo campaigns, but it served with great
distinction in the Kaffir war of 1885, and
during the Indian mutiny, where it took
| part in the siege and capture of Delhi, and
| in the relief of Lucknow, 1857
The Egyptian campaign of 1882 found the

Hot and Cold Penholder,

From the Philadelphia Record.
An ingenious Frenchman has patented an
article which he terms "a hot and cold
penholder." The holder consists of a cylin-
der pierced with three small openings at
its upper part, and inclosing for winter
use 4 combustible carbon cylinder, or for
summer a wad of sponge or cotton i'm
pregnated with a solution of sal ammoniac.
To start up the works in the winter time
the carbon cylinder is lighted and placed
in the holder; the other cylinder with the
lib is slid on the latter, and the paper
tube is then fixed over both. In summer
the chemically saturated wad produces suf-
ficient cold to keep the hand cool while us

Sure Sign of Prosperity.

From the Chicago Times Herald.
"Queer, isn't it?'' said the clothes cleaner
to his customer 'but my business indicates
the depression or prosperity of trade. When
times are booming I do not have the same
kind of custom that I do when they are
dull Then people bring their old clothes
in here and ask me to make them look as
good as new"
How does your business average this
season." asked the customer.
1T is very promising said the cleaner,
as he routed a moth family from the pack
age before him, "but that does not indi-
cate a hard winter, but that people have
learned lesson of economy from past
reverses. The indications are that the
wearers Of those garments are not hard
pr essed. l have found money, handker-
chiefs, gloves, theater checks, lots of stuff
in pockets that last season came to me
as empty as a last years nest. Do you
want this opera glass cleaned?"

taking 1t back. Il forgot all about its be-
ing in my pocket. Thanksr'
Don't mention 1t. Another straw that
shows which way the wind blows is this
Young men who bring their garments here
to be renovated are not half so particular
about the creases in their trousers as they

Labor Will Celebrate.

1t has become customary for Owosso to
have a labor day celebration on alternate
years, and this year the celebration again
falls to this city. At meeting held in the
council room Friday evening it was decided
that the celebration should be undertaken
and committees we're appointed to go ahead
with the matter.
There are not many holidays in the
course of the year, the Fourth, Christmas,
and Decoration Day nearly filling the list,
and while we have the Fourth to arouse our
patriotism and to call to our minds our
countrY's great politica! progress, and
Decoration Day to keep in mind its brave
defenders, it is only fitting and right that
the industrial side of our national existence
should also have chance to be seen and
understood. Hence 1t Is fitting and patri'
otic in all to heartily unite In making this
holiday one which will properly call atten-
tion to the great industrial development of
our country. Our country is renowned for
Its great industries, and every American
has right to be proud of it and to share
heartily in this celebration Of Labor Day.
The success of this years celebration
seems assured when the following list of
committees, appointed Friday evening, is
examined. Every one, however, should see
to it that he assists the committeeman in
every way possible:

Death of "Lawrie" Gould.

Last week Tuesday Morris Osburn re-
celved telegram from G. j. Wimple stat
ing that Lawrence p. Gould was danger
ously sick with material fever, and later in
the day that competent nurse had been
secured and that his condition was slightly
better. He was then at Nogales, Arizona.
AT noon, Friday, another telegram came
announcing his death and Wednesday
morning Mr.. Wimple reached Owosso via
the Michigan Central with the body of his
friend.
Mr.. Wimple states that Mr.. Gould was
not we'll when he left Owosso, in the latter
part of June, and that when they reached
Hermoselle, Mexico, where their mine was
located, he was in bad condition and quite
unable to resist the effects of the climate.
AS he continued to get worse Mr.. Wimple
decided to get him back into United States
territory, as by Mexican law the body of
one who dies in that country cannot be re-
moved from the country for five years. Mr..
Wimple got him as far as Nogales, Arz,
where he secured physicians and nurse.
but In spite of their efforts Mr.. Gould died
at two o'clock, Friday morning.
Mr.. Gould was still young man and
was a man of no mean ability. He was
graduate of the law department of the Uni
versity of Michigan, and occupied the posi-
tion of District Judge, at Lincoln, Neb.,
where he resided for a number of years.
He was the youngest son of Judge and Mrs.
Amos Gould. The funeral was held yester-
day morning at half past ten o'clock, at the
home of his sister, Mrs. Morris Osburn,
east Oliyer street where a large number of
relatives and friends assembled to pay their
last respects to the memory of the departed.
The services were touching and appropriate
to the age and temperament OF the one who
had gone. One of Edwin Arnold's poems,
"After Death in Aradia," was read by Mrs.
L. f Gould, and appropriate remarkswere
made by Rev. j. G. Cromer. The music
was by male quartet, in charge of Mr..
Ferry.
The afflicted relatives have the sympathy
of the community in their sad bereavement.

IN FOR EASY RIDING.
Bicycle Path to Corunna to be Begun on
Monday.

Monday.
The Owosso Cycle Path Club held meet
ing Monday evening at which Pres. G. W.
Gale, Vice Pres. Wykes and Justice Nc
Caughua were appointed as committee on
construction of the bicycle path between
OwossO and Corunna.
The contract for the work has been
awarded already to Thomas Dempsey, of
Battle Creek, who is the builder of the Bat
tie Creek paths which have given such ex-
cellent satisfaction and are probably the
best in the state. So satisfactory have the
paths proved that even where there was a
good hard gravel road the change was so
noticeable on passing to the path that be-
tween three and four miles more of the path
are being built along this road in order to
have it continuous for the whole seventeen
miles.
The Owosso path will be completed in ten
days from next Monday when the work will
be begun. Gravel will be used for the
greater part of the way east from Dewey
street but cnders will probably be tried on
the east end, Mr. Kincaid having offered to
furnish them from the mine.
The directors are taking all possible pains
and expect to show such good path that
the wheelmen of Owosso and intermediate
towns will not be contented until the path
is built through to Long Lake and Fenton,
which can be easily done this summer. The
cost of maintaining the path is slight.

Estey Factories.

Two shipments of furniture from fac
tory B. this week to Africa, one to Natal,
s. Africa and the other to Durbon. An
other shipment will be made the first of
next week to East London, South Africa.
The equipment of factory b is soon to be
improved by the addition of two large SO
inch planers. The planers have already
been ordered and will be here in about two
weeks. The addition will considerably in
crease the amount of furniture which can
be turned out from this factory.
Factory A is farther behind its orders
than Factory b, and the men here have
been putting in twelve hours per day all
this week, program which could be kept
up for some time without exhausting what
orders are already in sight.
For some time past the capacity of the
cutting room at Factory A has been inade-
quate to.its needs and now an addition is
to be built which will greatly increase the
capacity of the department. The space be-
tween the present cutting room and the
engine room will be built up and a large in
crease in the number of saws will be made
as soon as this extra room is secured. A
new engine will also be put In to run this
department Independently of the rest of the
shop.
A large blower has been received for use
in Factory A in addition to the one now in
use, and it will probably be placed in posi-
ton at the same time that the other changes
are made.
