CANNOT WELL REFUSE.
A Letter With Good Intent Causes
Some Criticism.

A movement is on foot for an enter
tainment to be given at an early date
for the benefit of the House of the
Good Shepherd, but the haste of the
committee, or the plan it has adopted,
it is said, promises to cause some feel
ing and possibly interfere with the sue
cess which such an entertainment de-
serves. Eight hundred circular letters
were sent out yesterday signed by E.
W. Peet for the committee, asking the
recipient of each to act as patron for
the proposed entertainment. The con-
Guiding part of the letter is as follows
VIII you allow your name to be used for
this purpose? Unless the committee hear
from you to the contrary by Wednesday, Dec.
l. they will assume that you consent to the
use of your name.
It is this part of the letter that has
called forth comment. although only
issued yesterday. 1t is assumed that
it places the recipients in the position
of practically being compelled to serve
as patrons and while few, if any,
would refuse to aid this admittedly
deserving and worthy institution there
are some who, perhaps, for one reason
out the conspicuousneSs caused by be-
ing one of the patrons. AS an indica
ton of this the following letter written
to Mr.. Peet by prominent citizen
and one who received one Of the invita-
tons in question is printed:

Shepherd, and you must permit me. in view
of the recent difficulty of that institution, to
take exception to the wording of the letter
viz: If l remain silent my name will be
published as patron, and naturally as SYM
herd. If 1 decline to allow the use of my
name I must place myself on record as be-
ing opposed to and virtually an enemy of the
institution. This is not fair or right. The
greatest of all liberty is the liberty of thought,
and next to that is the right to express or
not as wishes what they think. 1 there

NILES, Mich, Nov. 29.-Edmund
Peters left Utica last night for his
home, four miles distant. He was load
ed with articles which he had pur-
chased at the village store.
Among his purchases was a small
sized jug which he handled with care.
Reaching a point half way home, he
was accosted by two men who barred
his way and ordered him to hold up his
hands and deliver his possessions.
Peters grasped the jug more tightly,
and, using it as weapon, dealt one of
the robbers a blow on the head that
felled him to the ground. His COM
panion took to his heels and disappear
ed in the darkness. The fellow begged
for mercy and on regaining his feet
made his escape.
Peters took a new hold on the jug
and continued his journey home with
out a second interruption. He refuses
to tell the contents of the jug, but mis-
neighbors feel certain that it contained
vinegar.
