Star Pointer at the Blue Rib
bon Meeting.

Not only are all the other great
lights of the sulky at Detroit this week
but the monarch of the turf, Star
Pointer himself, will make his first ap-
pearance in Michigan. The name of
this marvellous horse has been n house
hold word ever since he made his never
to-be-forgotten mile in 1881 last Aug
nst. No sensation at all approaching
HIM has ever been seen in harness and
it is an unusual privilege that the De-
troit Driving Club offers to its patrons
by securing Star Pointer in an exhibi-
ton of his great speed over its splendid
track this week. The trial comes off
on Friday so that every body in the
state who has not already decided to
attend the Blue Ribbon meeting has
now an extra inducement for so doing.
The track record at Crosse Pointe is
now 2:02 made by Robert j. and there
is no doubt but what the new champion
will wipe this out and set the speed
limit quite distance below even this
notable mark. This will be the only
opportunity to see the horse of thecen-
tury in Michigan this year.

WAR NOTES.

As showing how far the advice of
! those who know the condition of affairs
! in Cuba was followed by the soldiers is
| illustrated by one of the rough riders,
who said: "They told us to beware of
! fruit and drink only filtered water;
but we drank from the streams and ate
all the fruit we wanted. We liked it
and it did us no HARM"
Admiral Cervera's report says he
fought forces more than treble his own.
As matter of fact practically all the
fighting was done by four American
iron clads and one converted yacht.
The Indiana, the New York, and the
Vixen do not appear to have gone up
in time to more than put in u few fin
ishing blows. As Ceryera had four
iron-clads and two torpedo destrovers
he was really defeated by a less mum
ber of ships than he commanded.
Chaplain Jones. of the battleship
Texas, who has just arrived in New
York, an invalid, is suffering from
what is technically known as complete
conclusion. Owing to the jar or boom
ing of the big guns, a bloodvessel either
in the chaplain's lung or stomach, was
ruptured and several hemorrhages
from the mouth have followed. Con-
cussion from the firing of the guns re-
sulting in bleeding at the nose
is a common occurrence, but Chaplain
Jones trouble isregarded as quite rare.
1t is reported at Lansing that some
of the Michigan naval reserve officers
have made things decidedly interest
ing for fellows who were on equal
terms with them at home, and have
taken advantage of the opportunity
to lord it oyer them to beat the band +,
making them do all sorts of menial
work on personal account. The boys
don't object to discipline and recognize
the authority of the officers, but are
said to resent having it rubbed in un-
duly by fellows they have associated
with on equal terms all their lives.

YALE. County Mich, FRIDAY. JULY 18e8
ARMSTRONG---HAYES.

Just as we were going to press last
week there occurred long expected
event in southwest Greenwood. The
event was the Hayes nup,
tials, which were celebrated at the
brides home, Mr.. Nicholas Hayes
residence, i'll Greenwood township.
The ceremony was performed July
Ii, 1898, by Rev. VIM. Coulter, of y ale
and the contracting parties were Dr.
| w. n. Armstrong, of Concord Mich,
and Miss Kittie Hayes. Both the bride
and groom are well and favorably
know in this region, and this populari-
ty made the nuptials a matter of per-
sonal interest to hundreds of people in
the community.
Promptly at p. m. on the above
date the bride and groom, with their
attendants filed into the parlors and
took their position beneath a very
tasty and beautiful wedding drapery
| formed by canopy upon the archway.
Here they were met by the officiating
clergyman, who said the solemn words
that sealed their bonds for life.
This ceremony was performed in the
presence of about sixty guests, who at
its close showered their hearty con-
gratulatiOns upon the happy couple.
The newly married pair then led the
way to the dining table, where course
after course of an elegant banquet
was enjoyed by the company.
Later in the evening Mr.. and Mrs.
Armstrong took the train for Ontario
where they expect to pass few of the
honeymoon days, after which they will
depart for their future home i'll Con-
cord
The esteem in which the happy
couple are held by the guests was
evinced 10y the many and most beauti-
full wedding presents lavished upon
them. The room in which they were
stored was literally filled, and the CLEAN
of silver and the CLINT of gold cast a
glow over the whole, which made it a
most beautiful array to the spectator
May the silver light and golden CLEANS
of happiness be the canopy under
which our friends may sail down times
stream.

CAN'T REMOVE DEMOCRATS.
The Civil Service Commi ssion Holds
Avery Up.

The Civil Service Commission Holds
Avery Up.
Alex. Avery is having troubles of his
own in his attempt to remove Demo,
Gratis to make places for the faithful
There seems to be no question but
what Alex. would be willing enough to
decapitate the enemy, but the Civil
Service Commission seems to be taking
a hand in the matter as the following
dispatch to the Detroit Evening News
indicates:
WASHINGTON, July l4.-Customs
| Collector Avery, of Port Huron, has
received severe jolt that will retard
his proposition to run his Office for the
good of the republican party. 1t took
the treasury long time to get around
to it, but when it did, its action was un-
mistakable.
He will probably get away with the
removal of some of the democrats he
fired, because he was ordered to reduce
his force, but the treasury has drawn
the line, and in the case of about no If
u dozen or so of deputies whose resig-
nations were procured by what smack
ed of intimidation or wrong representa-
tions, or undue pressure, he has been
ordered to return said designations, and
has done so. The names of the demo-
Gratis thus reinstated cannot be learned
here.
A special agent of the treasury made
an investigation of the matter, and it
is upon his report that Mr.. Avery's
partisan project, as outlined in the let
ters he wrote when he first took Office,
has been nipped in the bud. There is
suspicion here that President McKin-
ley passed upon the matter personally,
and decided that Avery's pace was too
swift for the good of the adminstra-
ton, it being known that Mckinley
has a way of insisting upon knowing
all about cases of this kind, as well as
all about appointees.

A Letter From j. M. Palmer

Spokane, Wash. July IL, 1898.
To the Editor of the Expositor,
Yale, Mich.
Dear Sir:
Ina letter received from
X. j. Dagg, dated Tacoma, Wash, June
23, 1898, he informs me that while at
tending the Owl Theatre of Tacoma,
he was relieved of $50 by pick-pocket.
Information has also reached me from
Yale, that the rumor is current there
that | was the victim in place of Mr..
Dagg. AS this rumor reflects discredit
on the character of the Theater, am
pleased to inform the readers of the
Expositor that | was not there to oe
victimized, and only have X. J Dagg g
written statement that he was.
Hoping that you will give this letter
space in the columns of the Expositor
and thanking you in advance for the
same, / remain,
Yours respectfully,
j. NJ, Palmer.
