Col. George has removed his je well
ry store from the American Express
room IN the Euclid block to Hamen's
drug store. Since resigning as musical
director in the schools, Mr.. George has
added considerable stock to his store,
and is now devoting his whole time to
the iewelry business. The new loca-
ton is one of the best in the city, and
the possibilities Tor display, and max
ing handsome store are great.
Owing to the illness of Mrs Ma
honey on Monday, the regular meeting
OF the Amusement Club. which was to
have met with her, was postponed I'M
til next Monday evening when Mr.. and
Mrs. John A. Bardon will give sleigh
ing party to their cottage on Wisconsin
Point, where a regular old fashioned
oyster supper will be served. The
members all look forward to this annual
excursion as about the pleasantest
event of the winters festivities.
In letter received few DAYS ago
from Mrs. +. II. Wright we are informed
that Mr.. W. is in Scotland, having
sailed from New York about the 22nd of
December, and consequently celebrated
Christmas day on board ship. Mr..
Wright writes that the trip across was
very rough. So bad at one time that
many Of the passengers were badly
bruised. He also adds that Christmas
day was observed in an appropriate
manner, but nevertheless it did not
seem very homelike. From another
and later letter AIRS. Wright quotes in
which he says he begins to leel the
benefits Of the change, but will remain
some time longer in Scotland before
starting off on tour through England,
We know that Mr.. Wright has host of
friends who are anxious to hear from
him. and will be glad indeed to know
that he is feeling better. We trust that
the improvement will be permanent,

Burns Anniversary.
intenden

With the tenacity characteristic of the
tight-we do not use this term in a
spiritual sense-little island they have
always claimed that Robbie Burns, he
who wrote Tam O'Shanter," and
The iva Dogs" My Hearts in the
Highland g." and who fel! in love with
Jean Armour, was a Scotchman. and at
every anniversary of his birth, when it
ID possible, they gather together and
do his memory honor. We shall not
dispute their right to claim him as one
Of their kinsfolk, for we much fear that
1t would be useless, and, moreover,
why should we try to rob the land
that Graded the Scottish Chiefs Of one
OF its greatest honors, that of having
Graded he whc is looked upon, and
justly, as one OF the worlds greatest
poets. 1t would be unkind 10 do so if
we could. Burns is Scotiand's own;
no one can despoil her of that glory.
But he is more, he is the poet who more
than any other appeals to the tend
rest chords of the human heart and who
appeals to the patriotic instincts of his
countrvmen as no man ever did.
On Tuesday evening last the anniver-
sara of the poets birth was celebrated
by Clan Cameron in Agen Hall, the hall
being well filled with clansmen and
their friends. Speeches, readings, songs
and dancing were the order of the eyen-
ing. Chief r. L. Hunter made the
speech of welcome. Ex-Chief Ogilvie
read the "Cotter's Saturday Night"
and Songs were sung by Clansmen
Forbes. Patrick, W. Armour, Mr.. Nc
Michen, William Niche, and Lambert.
Mr.. and Mrs. Weir sang "Ye Banks and
Braes of Bonnie Doom" On the con-
clusion of the musical part of the pro-
gram the dancing commenced, and with
the exception of an interval for supper,
the young folks kept their heels going
until well on in tie morning.

The Poultry and Pet Show.

The fowls of the earth, birds o. the
air, dogs, cats, rabbits, and various
other representatives of animated ma
ture of the useful and pet variety, took
possession of the Fair Building last Sat
urday and have held possession ever
since, and what with the Growing of
roosters. the gabbling of geese and par
rots, the singing of birds, the barking of
dogs and mewing of cats, the place has
been veritable Babel of tongues.
Never before was such a display made
and the officers of the association are to
be congratulated upon the success of
the undertaking.
The chief interes st of the spectators,
with exceptions, of course, was centred
in the display of poultry. the source of
much that is nourishing and useful to
these who just dote on tie leg of tur-
KEY and who love to bury themselves
in the depths of a bed of goose feathers.
Who cares for a yelplng canine or a
chattering parrot. They are no good to
eat, they are not to say musical, and
not much use for ANYTHING except it be
to afford revenue to the city and make
saucy remarks. We are practical
people. and take practical view OF
things, as wise people do. Let us have
turkeys. geese, ducks, chickens and
such like; they represent food, com
fort and wealth. In this respect the
county is to be congratulated on the in
creased interest being taken in the
raising of poultry, and We trust the good
work will go on, for every egg Matched
out means increased wealth.
The dog and cat, and pet show in
general, WAS scarcely less Interesting
than the poultry show. Indeed, in a
sense, it was more interesting, showing,
as it did, the peculiar Ieanings of the
children OF Adam towards the animal
kingdom. Cats of all breeds were to be
seen, beautiful and ugly, large and
small, OF all colors, each one the
particular pride of It's owner. Mostly
every species of the dog creation was
also present. Dogs of all colors and
sizes, dogs with short tails and long
tails, with woolly tails and without wool
" tails. long ears and short ears, curly
and straight haired; dogs with a little
bark and big bite, and dogs with biz
bark and a little bite, but not member
of the noble pug tribe was to be seen,
a circumstance probably due to the ma
turai mudestv and unobtrusiveness of
dogs OF that particular species. We were
sorry to note the fact, and we trust that
the next show will be graced by the
presence of many of them.
Besides giving evidence of increasing
interest III the brooding of high grade
poultry, the exhibit was interesting
from an educational point o. view

tended the Salter memorial benefit con-
cert given last Sunday afternoon at the
Lvceum in Duluth. The large opera
house was packed with people, and the
program, which was Of very high
grade, was most enjoyable.
The lecture by Mr.. Thompson,
given last Friday evening for the ben
eft of the Presbyterian church, was a
rare treat. The pictures illustrating
the different points along the lake
course from here to Buffalo were yerv
fine. and the main thought-the deep
water way to the sea-was explained
by Mr.. Thompson to be most practi-
cable. important and inevitable condi-

Mr.. BardOn Returns.

Mr. James Bardon, Henry S. Butler
and Receiver Perrin of the Consolidated
Land company, who have been in the
East, returned on Tuesday. Their mis-
sion was 10 attend the meetings Of the
reorganization committee of tue com
pany. two of which took place. one in
New York and one IN Washington.
From them we learn that the prospects
for reorganization are bright, and that
representatives of the company are now
raising the money wherewith to meet
its more pressing Obligations. We sim
cerely hope that the company will sue
coed IN making necessary financial ar
rangemcnts, and that it will enter upon
a prosperous career.
When i'll Washington Mr.. Bardon
met Congressman jenkins, and received
assurances from him that he would do
all he could 10 advance the interests of

Eli Perkins Way.

Eli Perkins does not produce laugh
ter by telling anecdotes. He perpe-
trates his jokes directly upon the aud
fence. The audience do not go home
and tell how the speaker rehashed
Charles Lambs and Sydney Smith
odd Jokes. nor how he described Thack-
cray or Tom Hoods humor, but they
tell how the jokes of the speaker abso'
lutely happened-they and Eli both be-
ing parties to them-how he surprised
them with antithesis, paradox, anti-cli-
max and eXtravagant statements, and
kept them listening and laughing from
the beginning to the end. Now satire
with its hidden meaning, which the
listener must discover-then the most
absurd situations, strange combinations
of words, and underneath all a fund of
wisdom and sound sense.
This famous lecturer will appear for
the first time in Superior, at the Pres
byterian Church, Friday evening next,
Feb. 4th No one can afford to miss
hearing him. This is the third lecture
of the excellent course arranged and
furnished the public AS the Nelson
Dewey lecture course, though to Prof
Frazier, Mr.. Manwaring and NJ. Lyons
is due most of the credit, and we be-
lieve that we express the sentiments of
one and all when we say that thus far
no fault could have been found with
the entertainments furnished. We pre-
dict that the church will be filled to its
utmost capacity next Friday evening.

The Pratt Meat Market.

At the time the Pratt Grocery Com
ptny moved into the new quarters it
was announced that as soon as the d.
vision of the store opening on Thomp-
they would open NJ the finest meat

and is packed full, has been built tor the

Paul, and makes a beautiful az we'll as
use I'll piece of furniture. The walls
have been lastly decorated ana with
the bright shining fixtures laden with
choice meats Of all kinds the shop is
certainly very attractive. Mr.. Pratt
has secured the services of a Mr..
Northy, o St. Paul, who is said to be
one of the finest butchers in the twin
cities, and this gentleman will have
charge Of the market From the first
Mr.. Pratt, will, no doubt, enjoy a good
business, as it is his intention 10 keep the
best grades OF meat, and to secure on
snort notice anything that may be de-
sired which does not happen to be in
stock. Don't fail to attend the opening.
