SPRAY OF THE RAPIDS.

The Canadian Jubilee Singers at the
Methodist Episcopal church Tuesday
evening were greeted by a full house
and their concert merited the large
attendance. In plantation melodies
and choruseS they were the equal of a
tirst-class organization while their bass
sOloist and mandolin player were
decidedly finer than any that have
come to Grand Rapids in long time.
The musical hours spent with this
company were all too short, although
their continued and liberal response
to encores all through the program
leaves no opportunity for complaint.
1t was a rich musical treat; that is
the least compliment we can offer. 1t
would give the Grand Rapids audience
pleasure to listen to the Canadian
JubileeS again.

RED HAIR IN HISTORY.
Sir Walter and MicheIet Disagreed About
 Unhappy Mary's.


 Unhappy Mary's.
 The exact tint of the Scottish Queens hair has always been vexed subject os discussion. Some give it an unmitigsAsd red. Michelet, for in- stance. who so far forgets himself and history as to call the poor lady a great red camel; others, siding with chivaI- orous Sir Walter, boldly endow their martyred Queen and mistress with rich dark brown tfesses. It should not be forgotten, however, that red hair, even modest auburn, suffered a severe eclipse during the early years of our century, whereas, under the YaI0is. no one with any pfetensions to elegance could be seen wearing it black. In this particular, at least, Mary Stuart must have had tho advantage of Queen Margot, who inherited her fathers dark coloring, and was reduced to dis semble natures shortcomings by the perruquier's art.
 We are told of three gigantic blond iackeys, kept in her service, and brought 10 the SDeafS as regularly as sheep. Brantome, indeed, protests that his incomparabIe Princess could carry with grace "eyen her natural black hair twisted and plafted lEspagnol, as she sometimes wore it, in imitation of her sister, the Queen of Spain. But no such need of insfstence one feels when he comes to praise the curled golden tresses of the Scottish Queen. "Aias!" he cries, what proclamation was that at the dreadful moment of her death. when the bafbarous executioner snatehed her bonnet, and there lay re- vealed those same fair locks, now whitened. thin and wintry, and which her friends of France had so often seen but to admire, curled and adorned aa bedttted their beauty aud the Queen thev arared :"

scAREs WIFE WITH A GRAVE.
A Husbands Method of Keeping His
SpOusc From Drin kiny

Trenton, May 23.-Mrs. Annie Hopkins,
of No. 1880 Lamberton Street, Trenton. n.
j.. appealed to the police Sunday to FRO
to murder her and bury her in the back
yard, she said.
Policeman Shannon went to the excited
woman's rescue. When he entered the
small home he found her husband Frank
Hopkins. and William Rulon the only oc-
cupants. They were not agltated by the
officers entrance.
You don't believe me? Well, come cut
into the back yard and | will show you
that | am speaking only that which is the
truth" said Mrs. Hopkins. She led the
way to the back yard. and Policeman Shan
non, the husband and Rulon followed. In
a remote corner of the yard there was a
newly dug grave, five feet in depth and
six feet in length.
At the head of this grave was a roughly
hewn stone made to represent tombstone.
and near the hole was a piece of carpet
in which, ostensibly. the body was to be
wrapped.
Policeman Shannon gazed in surprise at
the grave, and then turned to Hopkins for
an explanation. The husband then said
that he had threatened to kill his wife and
bury her in that grave If she did not stop
drinking. and that was all there was about
it. He said his wife had been drinking TO
excess and was neglecting her family. and
that he was going to try a new plan OF
curing her of her ways.
Investigation by the police developed the
fact that Hopkins had the reputation OF
being quiet and not quarrelsome. Last
night the police induced the woman to take
the pledge and the grave has been boarded
over temporarily
