An Error Corrected.

Misled by the name, and by the fact
that it is a Southern play, an impression
prevails that "a Romance of Coon Hol-
low" is a negro show. This is a great
mistake, as the entire cast is composed of
well known white artists of good stand
ing, and the colored buck dancers and
jubilee singers are simply introduced in
their plantation scenes to illustrate negro
life in the South, but have nc relation to
the story of the drama. The latter is a
pretty Southern love story, natural and
pastoral in its treatment, and what the
New York Herald styled "a Southern
Old Homestead" In Dickinson Oct. IS,

Number Of Deaths in the State
900 Less During March
Than February.
FRUIT TREES AND WHEAT.
Cold Weather Has Played
Havoc With
Them.

According to reports received by
the secretary Of state at Lansing,
there were 3,27S deaths in Michi-
gan during the month of March, or
exactly 800 less than the number
for the month of February. AS
March had three more days than
February, this represents con-
siderable decrease in mortality.
The death rate for March was 165
per thousand estimated population,
as compared with 207 for the pre-
ceding month The death rate for
the rural population was only
slightly greater than that of the
cities of the state, instead of being
markedly greater, as in February.

Ventilating a Room.

The best mode of keeping room
constantly ventilated without
draught is to have the frame of the
lower part OF the window supple
mented by an additional piece OF
wood about five inches deep. This
admits of the lower sash being

tom of the window. Air is admitted

MINERS GIVE UP THE FIGHT
The Strike at Ishpeming Has
Been Declared
Off.

The strike of Ishpeming mine
workers. which has been ia progress
since the first of this month, was
declared off Monday by the local
union in spite OF the fact that the
ballot taken by unlonists favored its
continuation. Frank Webber, of
Milwaukee, advised the men to re-
turn to work, and the advice was
gladly accepted, as the men~were
convinced during the latter part of
last week that they would never ac-
complish what they had set out to
do. In advising the strikers, Mr..
Webber complied with the request
OF number of union men who were
satisfied that the organization, even
though backed by the American
Federation, was fighting hopeless
case and could never win. In his
talks to the men, Mr.. Webber as
sured them that their cause would
be champioBed by the Federation,
and that immediate steps would be
taken to build up the union. He as
serted that one year hence every
working man in Ishpeming as well
as other mining fields in the upper
peninsula would be down on their
knees begging chance to join the
union. He said that organizers
would be sent in here by the fedora
ton, and all working men would be
induced to join, though not by in
timidation.
