John Messner has found it necessary
to build large new store house and the
Lake Superior ice company will also
increase it's supply this winter. Manager
James Allen OF the latter concern was in
the city today attending to business.
The company has large force oil men at
work at lamar ,ck dam clearing the ice
OF snow and keeping it in good condition
for the harvest. He says the ice has
frozen in better shape than he has ever
seen it before. There Is now about fifteen
inches OF good clear ice at the dam.
The company expects to put up at
least 4 900 tons here this winter. This
is considerable IN excess OF what was put
up last year and it has been found nee
essary to build an additionalstore room.
Manager Allen expects to be able to
cut the ice at Tamarack dam about the

The Game of Hockey
introduced Last
Evening.
Two Teams From Dollar Bay
participate In the Exciting came
Davey And gilmore 20 Race at
the Superior Rink.

The attendance at the Skating Pavil'
ION last evening was the largest it has
been this winter. The game OF hockey
between the Reds and Whites. the two
crack teams OF Dollar Bay, proved most
interesting. The teams were rather late
in arriving and the game did not come
off until 10 O'Clock. 1t was a close con-
test and proved as interesting for the
spectators as IL was exciting for the par
Elephants. The game resulted in a draw
neither side being able to score against
the other. The game made most fav-
-orable impression here and it is more
than likely that a team will shortly be
organized among local skaters. lie is as
fully exciting and gives just as many OPP
portunities for the players to show their
skill as polo and is still lacking OF the
rought features which usually character
ice polo. The pavilion will be open
every afternoon and evening tor the re-
IN ainder OF the week with the Fifth Regi-
ment band present Saturday evening.
The band was in attendance last evening
and rendered some OF their choicest &C.
lections.
The Superior rink OF Laurium is being
well patronized this week and the attend
ance has been very good so far. The ice
is now in much better condition than it
has been up to this time. The manage.
ment announces a race for Saturday
night, which will be a good attraction.
Arrangements have been made for the
meeting OF Effe Gilmore and Albert
Davey in a one mile event. Dayey's
ability is too we'll known to mention and
Gilmore's friends are numerous as he has
shown that he has considerable speed in
several con tests against him. On the
18th of January Gilmore and Dayey will
meet 10 a two mile race for purse. The
winner OF the best two out OF three events
will take the prize. The band will be
present every night and on Saturday
afternoon. Dancing as well as skating.

BIG HAT IN CHURCH.
1t Fills the Whole Universe for the Mar
Behind 1t.

1t Fills the Whole Universe for the Man
Behind 1t.
This is what happens to the man be-
hind the hat, says the Chicago Observer:
The preacher disappears until nothing
remains but voice. And with the hat
standing up against the spot where the
voice is, and the modulated sentences
breaking against it, how is attention
to be fixed upon the sermon? The
mind grows lax, the quiet and sweetness
of the sanctuary tend to distraction, the
hat fills the whole visible universe, and
involuntarily ones thoughts center
upon it.
1t is wonderful construction. There
is yellow rose trembling on long
stem with every movement of the wear
er's head and one begins to calculate
the extent of it's arc. There are lunches
of feathers, disposed, apparently, with n
view to preventing anything from be-
ing seen between them whichever way
the hat is turned. And there are stall
actites of ribbon, upright and immov-
able. which still further obscure the
horizon.
Occasionally one gets a momentary
glimpse of the head of the preacher as
it is stretched out in gesticulation, but
it seems q mere detached fragment use
lessly beating the air. The preacher
himself has disappeared as if he had
never been. The only thing visible
when the hat is turned for moment
is another hat of the same kind farther

CHINESE JEWELERS..

All of the Work Is Done by Hand-somc
of 1t Is Beautiful.
There are two jewellers in Chinatown,
but their establishments do not re-
semble the ordinary places known as
jewelry shops, says the New York
Times. The Chinese jeweler is u man
ufacturer as well as shopkeeper His
establishment is a tiny room up one
or two flights of stairs. The room in
one place is divided by an openwork
iron partition, with an arch and coun-
ter near the window, where the jeweler
stands at work. He is an elderly China
man, wearing glasses, and he works
over a tiny fire in the window. All his
work is done by hand, and some Of it is
beautiful. There are heavy silver
bracelets which open with a hinge
and fasten with an odd little staple.
The fine raised pattern is cut out, every
bit of it, by hand. There are gold rings
made in the same way. There are fine
rings, made of 24-carat gold. Almost
nothing is kept in stock. There may
chance to be few rings and bracelets,
which are taken from q small safe.
Most of the goods are made to order
When the manufacturer is asked the
price of u ring he weighs it before he,
answers. His scales consist of u slen-
der stick of ivory, perhaps a third of n
yard long, covered with Chinese char
acters. At one end is small brass plate
suspended from the stick by fine
threads and very small weight, also
hanging by thread, is moved along to
the balancing point by the jeweler as
he holds the little machine in his hand
The front part of the little shop is filled
with a stove, table, dishpan, dishes
as many things as can well be crowded
into it.
