Prot. Woods method Of thawing out
frozen pipes by means OF electricity ~nr
successfully put into practice last week
at Florence by our former townsman.
John +. Fitzpatrick, and the people oi
that city are loud ia their praises OF MIR.
Fitzpatrick for the skill displayed in the
work. We take the following account
OF the operation from the The Mining
News:
"By connecting a number OF small con-
ycrters her was enabled To concentrate
sufficient current at n given point, and
connecting from the faucet to the near
est hydrant there was enough heat
generated to thaw the pipes without
much trouble. The actual time It took
to- thaw ninety.s feet OF 1A-ineh gal
vanized iron pipe was thirty minutes,
and at no time did il take over three
quarters OF an hour.
Mr.. Fitzpatrick Is loud in his praise
OF Prof. Wood, not only on account oil
his discovery, but for the prompt and
courteous treatment he received. lie
also feels indebted to Mr.. Beattie for the
loan OF the instruments; also to the
engineers at the water works for the use
OF the current"

presented by Miss pepglasc. The paper
was written by Misses Penglase, Perkins
and Faulds and Mrs. Butt, and the way
IL bristled out with wit, humor and
good, sound sense combined speaks

The witty portions OF tho paper, no
doubt, produced the most mention bat
we cannot overlook the excellent cdr
torials presented. They certainly como
in for n lions share of tho good things
that are being said OF the paper. The
music was very good. We have In mind
the male quintette (which turned out to
~ n auartette, but was appreciated just
tina samel, the solo by Russell Ball and
the duet by Mrs. Hill aud Mies Fitz-
simmons. The Silver Cornet band held
op its reputation Tor good music also.

Wedding Bells.

We mentioned, briefly, last week that
Emerson Nc Neil, the popular assistant
superintendent OF the Corrigan, Mckin-
ney mines was TO bring bride back
to Crystal Falls with him upon hiS re-
| turn. This week we give IN account OF
the wedding taken from the Negaunee
correspondence TO the Marquette Mining
| Journal:
Zone Of the prettiest quiet home we'd
dings Witnessed in Negaunee in some
time was at the home OF Mr.. and II. G..
| Peterson, on Case street, when their
second daughter, Catherine Marie, was
married 20 Emerson ID. Mcneil, in the
presence Of some fifty invited guests.
Promptly at half-past two the first
strains OF Lohengren's wedding march
was sounded on the piano 10y Mre. X. A..
Knupfcr, and the bridal procession,
which had been formed upstairs, de
scendod slowly. preceded by the Rev. +.
s. Genung, who preformod the cere-
mony, and the Rev. j. A. Greene, as
nisting. Next in the procession came
Miss Minnie Lovely Of Howard City, as
bridesmaid, and Mr.. james L. Mcneil,
| Of Cleveland, az best man, followed by
tho bride and groom, and the immediate
relatives. The ceremony was performed
in the parlor, the rooms having been
,larkened for the occasion and the soft
lights cast around the room by the gas
shades, amidst proiusion OF cut flow
ers, palms and evergreens, produced an
artistic effect long to bo remembered by
those who witnessed it.
The bride was urrnyed in white silk
and carried a bouquet OF American
Beauty roses. and was followed by her
little niece, Mildred O'Connor, az train
bearer. The bridesmaid, Mhs Lovely,
wore white organdy over white taifeta
sill and carried bride roses. The cere-
mopy was very impressive and pretty.
A reception was then held until 4 O'Clock
when all sat down to sumptuous we'd
ding repast.
The bride il an estimable young lady
and iavorite in the large .circle OF her
iriesds, while the groom by his integrity
and strict attention to business has
gained for himself the approval Of all,
and at present holds very responsible
positios with Corrigan, Mckinney & Co.,
extensive mine operators. The bridal
pair were the recipients OF many beau
tiiul and valuable presents. The time
was pleasantly spent until the departure
OF the evening train for Chicago. And
last but not least was the departure,
which was by no means neglected by the
friends, OF the newly welded couple.
Some devoted their energies TO the dec
Grafton OF the part OF the car which the
ira velors were TO occupy, while Others
devoted their time to the artistic Of.
iects usually bestowed upon trunks ON
such occasions. and TO the success OF
their energies not few can bear WIT
ness, and such scarcity OF old shoes and
such like in town has not been known
in the history OF the oldest settlers.

The Administration Scheme fOS
Raising Money for the C0m-
ing Campaign.

| The republican situation in Ohio is sc
| grave that Senator Hanna has revived
the Jay Hubbeu system of levying cam'
paign assessments upon all federal of,
fceholders in Washington. A million
| dollars is needed, and needed at once,
| by the campaign committee in thai
state, and government employees are ex-
pected to furnish it.
Within few days every federal Of
| ficeholder, no matter how low, has re-
ceived a circular from w. f. Burdell.
treasurer of the finance committee OF
the Ohio republican executive commit
tee. soliciting Liberal" contributions.
These circulars are addressed to the
houses of the employees, and the fact
proves that the administration not only
approves of this money-raising scheme,
but has compelled each cabinet officer
to furnish to the republican campaign
committee of Ohio the names and pri-
vate addresses of the government en-
ployes.
The circular explains that its aims
are within the law, that no member of
the finance committee is employed in
the federal service, that no effort to
collect the money will be made in the
departments, and because of the last
fact contributions must be voluntary
and made as individuals and unofficial
ly. The circular is marked ''confiden-
tial' and is typewriter, the signature
being made with pen.
Many of the recipients of these let
tiers are terrorized by the fear that they
will lose their places if they fail to con-
tribute, although they do not under
stand why they should be assessed to
help out in Ohio when they have de-
mands from other states made upon
them at regular intervals. 1t is said
that blacklist will be made up
showing all who fail to respond to the
Hanna call for funds, and that the vic
Tins will be dealt with accordingly.
Senator Hanna, when here recently,
said to republican representative of
note: John r. Mclean is putting up
an exceedingly strong fight in all the
big cities of the state, and it will re-
quire every dollar the republican COM
mittee can raise to secure republican
victory. y."-Washingto Special, in N. Y.

THE DOLLARS AT WORK.
How Silver Would Get Into CirculR-
tiOn Under the System of
Free Coinage.

How would silver get into circulation
under free coinage? Many correspon-
dents ask for information on this point
and brief answer will be given. I'm
der free coinage the owner of silver bull
lion would take it to the mint and have
it coined into dollars. With these dol
lars he would pay his employees, pur-
chase his supplies, pay his taxes, debts
and all other expenses. The persons
thus receiving them would in like man
ner pay their debts and liabilities and
meet their expenses. Thus it would
make its rounds and find it's way
through the entire community. Not
only would it at once enter into circu-
lation, but it would have the effect of
bringing a large amount of money into
use that is now lying idle. AS silver
floated out into the channels of trade it
would raise prices and stimulate busi-
ness. When prices rise money always
comes from its hiding places for invest
ment. When property is going up men
will buy it, expecting to reap profit
from the rise. When prices advance
when property becomes dearer - it
means that money is getting cheaper.
Therefore men who have money are
anxious TO avoid loss by converting
their money which is falling into prop
erty that is rising. This explains why
it is that in seasons of falling prices and
business stagnation there always seems
to be superabundance of money. That
is, large amount of idle money for
which there is no use. When property
values are falling the man with money
holds on to it. He says: "If buy now
the property viii shrink in value and
will lose. So I will wait until the bot
tom mark is reached" But as soon as it
gets to the bottom he viii buy, provid-
ed, always, that he sees chance for an
upward movement. There is scarcely
anyone who has not acted upon this
principle, and who does not act upon it
every day. Briefly and concisely stated,
the principle is this: When prices are
falling it is advantageous to hold on TO
our money if we have any; when prices
are rising it pays better to invest the
money iE property or in some produc-
tive enterprise. The argument (?) by
the gold people that il we had free coin
age the poor man would not be, able to
get any of the money coined presents
another of their innumerable absurd
tiles and contradictions In one breath
they insist that the poor man viii be
loaded down with cumbersome 50-cent
dollars, and in the next that he win not
be able to get any of them, even II they
be coined.
