What Chief Keierson Accomplished.

"hat Ch1eI ReieraOn Accomplished.
The mayor then read what had been
accomplished by Chief Reerson, who
has also acted in the capacity of street
commissioner, and in this connection
Mr. Reierson should be highly COM
mended for the efficient manner in
which he has performed his duty. 1t
has cost the city something to do this
but the good condition of the streets
shows that the money has been we'll
expended. Following is Mr.. Reierson's g
report:

There was only one case of contagious
disease reported during the year which

WHY IT WAS HOT.
The Hash Epicure's Initial Experienc
With Chatting Dish.

Tbe Hash Epicure's Initial Experience
With Chatting Dish.
IL had heard of chatting dishes for
years" said Smiley Williams, "but the
enc saw for the first time floored me
completely.
II never thought much about the
blamed things, but somehow l supposed
chafing dish was some sort of concern
that they grated things in-something
that rubbed together and mashed things.
THE other night, though, Bolton
and went into Madison street res
taurant for dinner. You know I always
have sneaking liking for hash of any
kind, and so does Bolton. Bolton order
ed turkey hash for two, and the waiter
brought it on in swell sort of silver
dish nearly as tall as a cake basket. 1t
had tight cover, and when we opened
it it steamed like a 40 horsepower boil
er blowing off.
81 loaded up Bottoms plate, and in
the first pass at it he took the skin off
his tongue, it was SO hot.
Just like these internal places,
Bolton growled. Anything you've got
to eat is blistering hot, while coffee is
always stone cold.
"After awhile Bolton took some more
hash and burned his tongue again.
Holy Moses, he said, whats got
into that hash?'
81 told him nobody was expected to
know anything about restaurant hash,
especially the fellow who was eating it,
but he wasn't satisfied.
swell, we kept on eating hash until
we had enough. And do you know that
hash left in the dish was hotter than it
was at the start?
Well, said Bolton, L wouldn't
have believed my eyes, but with most
Of the skin off my tongue I've got to
give it up. Then he called the waiter.
Say, he said, in low tone, 'Ill
give you quarter if you'll tell me
what in blazes is the matter with that
hash.

What keeps that hash so all fired
hot?'

was inside the house and soon extin-

1t Started on the Oath
Level, Between Nos.
8 and 9 Shafts.
Fire Is Confined to the Slope


On Saturday evening a report that the
mine was on fire was circulated which, as
might be imagined, caused considerable
excitement and alarm among not only
our business men, but the mining poDula-
ton, and all sorts Of stories were aAoat,
one of which was that four men had per-
ished, having been overcome by the gas
Such, however, fortunately, was not the
case.
A NEWS reporter was soon on the
ground aud found "A number of people
congregated at the mouths OF Nos. and
8 shafts, from the former of which "A
small body Of smoke was ascending 1t
appears that about $50, while a party
of trammers, consisting OF about a dozen
men, were working in dry stope at che
oath level, between Nos. 3 and 9 shafts,
they jticed some smoke in the stope, of
which they Immediately sent word to the
surface, when more men we're at once dis
patched underground, but owing TO the
smoke, they could not reach within about
200 feet of the fire. All Saturday night
and Yesterday large force of men were
fighting the tire and doing what they
could TO ensure combining it TO the stope
in which il started, and at the time of
writing they have each end OF the drift
blocked up, so that there is no possible
cnance OF the fire spreading or doing
much damage, and consequently it will
be matter of only few days before the
fire burns itself out. But, while it lasts,
it will cause the laying off OF perhaps 100
men,
How the fire started ia unknown, the
first that was known of it being when
the TRAINERS saw the smoke.

Came UnexpectedIy.

The people in this vicinity have been
anxiOusly waiting for real Lake Super
ior snowstorm and 1t came with ven.
geance esterday and from all appear
ances has come to stay. Calumet people
have been very fortunate up to the pres
ent time this winter, as there had not
been real stormy day and every body
had begun to think that an unusually
mild winter had set in.
Late Saturday night the snow began
to come down and by Sunday morning
it was pretty well drifted. Sunday a
wind came up and small blizzard blew
all day Yesterday, the snow still coming
down. BY this morning the thermome-
ter had dropped below zero and with the
northwest wind made il anything but
pleasant. One or two thermometers reg
istered 10 degrees below zero this morn
ing, which is probably as low as it has
been this winter.
The streets were in bad condition, but
the village teams and men were out early
and soon had the sidewalks passable.
The sudden change in the weather took
many a householder unawares and fro.
zen water pipes were commonly reported
this morning. For the benefit of these
uniortunates the iollwing instructions
to thaw out the frozen pipes may be
given:
place unslacked lime around the pipes.
cover with straw and then pour on
water. The heat generated by the slack
ing OF the lime will thaw out the pipe if
the operation is properly carried out.
Pipes may also be protected from freez-
ing by first wrapping with straw, then
putting on layer OF unslacked lime. and
finally again covering with straw. The
gradual stacking OF the lime by the mois-
ture OF the atmosphere evolves sufficient
heat to prevent water pipes freezing for a
whole season."

Military Appointments.

Governor Pingree has made two mill
tary appointments which will be OF in
terest to those interested in the Michigan
National Guard. They are the appoint
ments OF Lieut.. Will l.. White to be quar-
ter-master general and Colonel T.. NJ. Irish
to be adiutant general. The appoint
ments seem to meet the approval of local
Brigade and other officers. Regarding
the appointment OF Colonel Benefits. of
Muskegon, to be inspector general, which
ls OF special Importance to all the Fifth
Regiment just at present because OF the
bearing it will have on the coming cleo
ton OF Regimental officers to be held at
Sault Ste. Marie day after tomorrow. a
Detroit paper has the following from it's
Lansing correspondent:
"Col. j. r.. BENEFITS, of Mnskegon, had
an audience with Gov. Pingree today,
and it is considered that his appointment
as Inspector general will go in at the next
meeting OF the senate. The governor
wants the appointment charged TO Mus
kegon IA political appointment, but the
Muskegon people don't. The recent hitch
in Benefits appointment came from the
fact that those Muskegons Who originally
signed petition for his appointment az
a reiut ation Of the story that they tried
to throw him down, subsequently wrote
the governor letters saying that their en-
dorsement on the petition did not mean
anything. Prior to Col. Benefits audi.
ence with the governor IL was believed
he would be thrown down. Col Erod ~
Shubel, Jr., Of Lansing, was said to he
slated In his place."

A French Newspaper In London, 1910.


In no history of British journalism or
Sccount of William Dugard do | find
tiny mention Of his publishing in Lon
don weekly French newspaper entitled
Nouvelles Ordinaires de Londres, yet
this is surely the most singular incident
in his checkered career The National
library at Paris possesses two quarto
volumes of this newspaper, extending
from July IL, 1850, to Jan. IA, 1868.
These were presented to the Minim
monastery, Place Royale, which in
1914, shortly after its foundation, had
library Of 5000 volumes, one Of the
best in Paris. By 1890, when it was dis
persed, it had increased to 1900 vol
umes. The two quartos were, with
many other books, the gift of Partisan
named Descombes, Of whom nothing is
known. They found their way at the
revolution into the library of the tribu-
nate, a body which was abolished in
1907, and they then passed to the I'm
perial (now NationaD library.
Descombes was apparently q subscrfb.
er to Dugard's paper and had it bound
in 200 numbers at time. 1t would be
interesting to know how London news
paper then reached foreign subscribers,
for 1t must be presumed that most of
these subscribers were foreigners, though
the paper was sold by Nicolas Bourne at
the South Gate, Old Change; Francis
Tyton, at the Three Daggers, near Tenn
pie Gate, and Mary Constable, at the
Key, Westminster hall. Its four pages
contain mostly English news, but there
are short paragraphs Of continental
events. Notes ard Queries
