He Put His Foot In IT.

A woman's club that invested In
clubhouse not long since was mut
against its will obliged to employ M,
laborers. The architect was a womal
but it was found impossible to procu
women carpenters, masons and plaste
ers. One day shortly before the compl
ton of the structure workman wi
was employed upon the roof made|
misstep and thrust his foot through Il
beautiful but not yet dried ceiling
the auditorium. Just at this time, I'd
a number of club members CHANGED |
be in the building, and their emotid
at the sight of the pedal extremity pen
ent from the ceiling may be better il
agined than described. The man "
eventually rescued and the hole mende
but the patch still shows upon the Gel

it, well, knew that if a man Id
anything to do with this club he woul
be sure to put his foot in it."-Chica}

Gen. William r. Shafter.

As the Skaters hail from the little tow
of Athens biographical sketch of Gen
William r. Shafter, who heads the force
that is invading Cuba, will be of interes,
to our readers. He was the son of Hugh
Shafter, who was born in Athens but while
young moved to Michigan. The New York
Herald says:
Gen. Shafter weighs 800 pounds and has
blue eyes, under shaggy brows--the blue eye
which is at once kind and shrewd, with a
hard CLINT, too, at moments. He has the
lighting hook nose," more than that, it is
command dinghy Roman. He has Fitz Lee
chm that is at once firm and jolly. A
heavy mustache Of gray, and white hair,
parted in the middle. Plenty of room for
brains between the ear line of the facial
angle and the top of his head-and this
head rests with comely poise on big, broad
shoulders. A man not quite SIX feet
great soldiers have rarely been so high
with comparatively short legs and great
lergth of trunk for breathing and digestion,
for which most men of endurance and dis
tinguished action have been noted.
ne STATUS ucdSy anu SHdftuy anu OHe
would say grim, were not there a hint Of
good humor playing underneath the COM
posure of self-control.
Shafter was % years old when the Civil
War came. He entered the Seventh Mich
igan Infantry as first lieutenant In 1861.
He served with distinction through the
war, having been consecutively Major of
the 10Th Michigan Infantry, Lieut.. Colonel
and Colonel of the United States Infantry,
and was in March, 1865, breveted Briga-
der General.

The second Sunday in June is Pythian
Memorial Sunday the country over. The
day was observed by the local lodge in Odd

Sewers and Free Delivery.

A special corporation meeting has been
called for tomorrow evening to act in the
matter OF sanitary inspection of the sewers
and putting the streets and houses in con-
dition for the free delivery of mails.
At the last regular corporation meeting
a committee of which j. w. Flint is chair
man was chosen to look into the condition
of the sewers and report at future meet
ing. When asked regarding the work OF
the committee and the report they would
make Mr.. Flint said: ''We have not made
an examination of the sewers because we
feel that there is no one in this vicinity COM
petent to judge OF their sanitary condition.
We thought We ought to secure the servi-
ces of an expert, and preached the matter
to the baiIiffs; they did not think best how
ever,to advance the necessary money with
out vote of the corporation, and so a spe-
cial meeting has been called"
When asked what the cost of securing the
services ofan expert would be MIR. Flint said.
"We will have to pay an expert $50 per
day and his expenses. A thorough inspec-
ton would take at least two days, and the
entire cost would be $3.50 or more. The
committee is of the opinion that this would
be money we'll invested"
The second article in the warrant is to
see if the corporation will put its streets
and houses in proper condition for free de-
livery of mails. This article was incorpo-
rated at the request of Barney Cannon, Jr.,
who has taken considerable interest in the
matter. When asked what in his opinion
the bailiffs would have to do to put the
streets in condition to meet the require
ments of the postofice department, Mr..
Cannon said "In my judgment it would
require very little expense. There would
have to be few new crossings and posi-
bly, an extra light or two. Of course all
the houses would have to be properly num-
bered and this would cost % cents per fig
ure, but this expense would be borne by
the owners Of the houses.
''To me personally it makes very little
difference whether we have free delivery or
not, but in-as-much as the matter has been
agitated l would like to have the citizens
of the place vote upon the subject"
Diigent enquiry among the business men
and patrons of the office indicates that the
sentiment is not very strong either pro or
con. Probably majority Of the business
men would rather that the existing order
would continue. All the patti ons of the
office on the square and in the mills would
hire boxes the same as now, and a large
percentage of the mail would not 20 into
the hands of carriers at all. Free delivery
would be benefit to those living in the
remoter quarters of the village, and the es-
Enlistment of mail boxes with regular col
lections would be a benefit to great many.
Some argue that in-as-much as free deliv-
cry is not going to cost very much, we had
better take it anyway ;others think it would
give tone and city air to the community.
