Geological Mouth of Grand River.

IN the American Journal of Science
Mr.. Nudge says that while the present
mouth of the Grand River is at Grand
Haven on Lake Michigan, there is an
other point 20 miles inland from the
shores of Lake Michigan which was the
termination of the old river valley and
is therefore its mouth in an interesting
sense. He declares that at one time a
great glacial river, three-fourths of a
mile in width, flowed across the PENN
sula from Lake Saginaw TO Lake Chica-
go. Long ago the sources of this glacial
river (Which has been called the
Pewamo outlet) failed and the wide val
ley~with its record bearing deposits
was laid bare to give up its secrets TO
the inquisitive geologist. Mr.. Nudge
describes its course and the river de-
posts about its old mouth.

" Bobby Shaftoe."

On December IA and Is "Bobby Shaf-
toe" will be presented at the opera house.
The plot of the piece is finely laid and the
musical side of the story is of magnificent
proportions. The fairies who play an i'm
portapt part all through the piece make the
first entrance. The first scene is Cloud
land. As morning comes on, a village
street at Sea Strand, an ancient English
seaport, is presented. At this place ths
house of the Old Woman Who Lived in
Shoe is shown and all her children come
out to play. 1t is here, too, that Old King
Cole first meets the Old Woman and,
merry old soul that he is, he fears not the
"a children of the old woman and an
engagement takes place just as Bobby
Shaftoe and lis sailors are leaving for sea.
Act second shows the throne room OF Old
King Cole and the banquet serve by
Margery Daw. The old king is down on
his luck and finds that the only swift and
sure relief is found within the can. His
pecuniary strait is very bad and Polly must
marry some rich foreign prince to save him
from disgrace, but at the critical moment
Bobby Shaftoe comes home from sea a rich
sailor and the king borrows few tens Of
Bob and watches marriage that he hopes
will be as happy as hi, own. The musical
numbers introduced are well adapted to
the situations. The voices are al young
and the choru.es are rich in their harmony.
D. M. Thayer, j. E. Byrne and H. B.
Davis are to act as the fddlers of Old
King Cole and they promise to fiddle to
any tune the audience may select as being
most to their liking.

WARL|KE REPORT
 FROM NICARAGUA
That Country Said to Be on the Brink of War With
 Costa Rica.

Memphis June IA special to the Com mercial-Appeal from New Orleans says:
 From advices received tonight from Bluehelds via the steamship Sunniva, which sailed from that port June l, Nica- ragua and Costa Riea are on the brink of war The Democrat correspon- dent, under the date of the Sunnivas sail ing says:
 When Torres left Bluefields for the in- terior via San Juan del Norte with 165 sol- diers and forty-one prisoners, the Costa Rican authorities on the San Juan river, where that river passes through Costa Riean territory and up stream where it is necessary to reach Managua, refused to allow the force to pass through. As a consequence the soldiers and prisoners were left in Greytown and Torres went on to the interior to report the matter to Za1aya. As yet no action has been taken. Troops and supplies are being rushed to the border by both Costa Rica and Nica- ragua. All kinds of rumors are being cir culated in, Bluefefds This condition of affairs lends significance to gathering held in Bluefields on Tuesday, May 30, when General Estrada called a meeting at the palace of the merchants and business men of Bluehelds. In opening the meet ing he read a telegram from President Zelaya, wherein it was stated as the pur- pose of the government to retire all paper money and to put the country on a silver basis. The general then proceeded to ex- plain that it would be necessary to raise one million sols on the Atlantic coast. He stated that he had called the meeting to consult with the business men of the coast and to get their advice as to how the money could be raised, The general eX- poets to secure the loan from the mer- chants, and has given them until Thurs day at p. m. to think the matter over and give their answer. It is said that the Nicaraguan government is retiring paper money at the rate of 30,000 to 10000 sols a month. The demand for silver money is believed to be created by the pending war. Nicaragua needs munitions and her paper money is worthless outside of her own boundaries.

Meeting of Pelham Chapter
 Dauuhters of the C0nfederacY

The first meeting of Pelham Chapter Daughters of the Confederacy, since the election of new officers was held yesterday afternoon Mrs. Rose Garland Lewis Mrs. Addison G. Smith, the newly elected president, presided, and owing to the ab- sence of Miss Rittenberry, Mrs Louis Bradfield was made temporary chairman. The usual reports were made, and comit- tees appointed for the coming year. The corresponding secretary, Mrs Lewis, spoke of the necessity of sending an accurate list of the membership of the chapter to the state secretary but owing to the non payment of dues of number of the mem bers, the present list would not be in con- formance with the constitution. The old queston of retaining names on the roll call, of members who are delinquent in paying dues, which is the bete noir of organiza- tions, was discussed at length.
 It will Je recalled that at the meeting of the United Daughters last autumn in Hot Springs, a movement was begun for the Alabama chapters to erect a monu- ment at Chickamauga Park in memory of Alabama's Confederate dead. The ladies of the chapter here have been in hearty sympathy with the movement, and they have been discussing plans for an enter tainment. the proceeds of which would go to the memorial fund. It was decided yes- terday. however. that the summer weather

INDIANS ON WARPATH
Thy Have Rebelled Against the Mica
 raguan Government

Kingston, Jamaica, June Mail adyices from the Mosquito coast say the Indians there have rebelled against the govern ment of Nicaragua, taking the warpath and are sending a delegation to invite Prince Clarence to head the rising, which, it is added, will probably receive financial support from the foreign residents of the Mosquito coast.
 Prince Clarence is not at Kingston but he recently declared he would never break faith with the British government, pre- ferring his easy retirement here to active life as king of the Mosquito coast.
 Prince Clarence, otherwise Chief Clar- ence, the former ruler of the Mosquito coast is now about 25 years old. Some five years ago. as hereditary chief of the Mos quito coast territory, he came into power over about 10000 subjects. Nicaragua at that time had begun to encroach on the Mosquito territory and Chief Clarence re- sisted successfully. But the state of af- fairs which followed compelled the United States consul a Bluefelds, the principal port and city of the Mosquito coast, to ask protection for the Americans, and Chief Clarence, after repeated defeats, was com pelled to seek refuge on board the United States cruiser Marblehead In August 1894, he landed at Kingston, Jamaica, and has since been a pensioner of the British government, which formally exercised a protectorate over the Mosquito coast

What is incense? Nothing more than certain substances, which, when put into a pot and waved to and fro, produce an agreeable odor. As rule, number Of persons in building, whether 1t be used for sacred or secular purposes, are un- pleasantly odoriferous. l should therefore personally prefer that incense were used in all assemblages that I am likely to at tend.

 My feeling Is much the same in regard to vestments. can remember when the en- tire Low Church party was in state Of frenzy because some of the clergy wore surpices in the pulpit. At present this usage is almost universal. l should have thought that the question is rather what a clergyman says than what he wears, and that, provided the true faith be preached, the clothing of the preacher is immaterial. If churchmen really hope to retain the re- spect of the sane portion of the commun' ty they would do well to eschew these milli- nery quarrels, which are more behttinS fashionable ladies than priests.

THE MIssIshIPPI CONTEST

From the Washington Post Ssj,
 "The fight between Private John Allen and Governor McLaurin for the senatorship, from our state has been so warn that people at a distance have heard but little of the fight for the other senatorship," said Mr W. l.. Joyce, of Mississippi at the Normandie. There are two senators to be elected when the legislature meets next January Messrs. Allen and McLaurin are striving for the long term senatorship while the other candidates are ex-Goyernor Lowry and the present senator Hon. W. V. Sullivan. The contest between Allen and McLaurin is bitter in the extreme and in the old days they would have fought a duel long ere this. Private Johns friends are backing him for a sure winner, but his opponent is hard man to down; and while his administration has been ex- tremely unpopular he has built up pow erful machine that will render him effective. service.
 "ExGovernor Lowry is a captivating and polished orator, and though he is past three score years, wouldn't be taken for feet six inches in height, rotund in shape, and has a very handsome face. Senator Sullivan, who is much his junior in years, is also a very popular man, and is public speaker of no ordinary ability. The pair make a striking physical contrast, but there is not the bad blood between them that has been developed between the other two candidates"
