some antagonsm. The whole body Of oppo-

opportunity to attack an endeavor to increase

think II needful to recommend.

arrived at Three Oaks over the Michi-
gan Central at 6:15 p. IN. on the 18th.
The city officials and the President
passed under an electric canopy
through the village park to the Dewey
cannon, where, after being welcomed,
the President responded in few brief
remarks, after which he was escorted
to his train and departed for l. lama

the central figure in the parade which
marked the first day of that city's

Trip to the Coast.
During these long evenings OF fall

for the bright warm days of summer,
coming bye and bye, when Nature

Professor Adolf DIR, an accom-
plished German scholar and linguist,
has invented system of shorthand
symbols which will enable stenogra-
piers to report in any one or all the
chief European languages as readily
and correctly as they can in their re-
spective mother tongues. This sys-
TEN, upon which Professor DIR has
been engaged for long time, is ex-
planned in a volume which will prob
ably be issued in a few weeks by a
Paris publisher. Professor DIR is
master of some thirty languages,
oriental included. His system has
nothing whatever to do with VIOLA
puk," a dismal fad, which also was
made in Germany, but which the pro-
fessor has ridiculed. He has advised
all people in search of universal
language" to learn English, and he has
given his reasons. English literature
is the richest and greatest in the
world. English is more generally
spoken than any other language since
the mishap at Babel, IL is the univer-
