WOULDN'T PERMIT IT.

OTIsCo, MICH, FEB q, 1900
The glove contest or prize fight did
not come off last night at the hotel as
advertised. The contestants aud their
friends saw at once it would not be ad-
visable from the feeling OF the neigh
borhood and so withdrew, much to the
satisfaction OF the citizens who retired
feeling that a great calamaty had been
averted. 1t seems to us that such do
ings ought to be confined TO the club
rooms and not for public exhibition; it
seems to us also that the law ought to
cover all contests OF this nature. or
course as rule the contestants and
followers are class Of rought citizens
that have to take darkness to put In
their work and we hope all good citi-
zens will vigorously taboo all such
proceedings. Yours respectfully,
A CITIZEN.

The Thirty-Forth Annual Held at Hotel
Phelps, Greenviiie, Last Thursday.
A very enjoyable meeting of the
Washington club in comemoration oi
the 34th anniversary of its organiza.
tion was held in Greenville at Hotel
Phelps on the 22nd inst. The attend
ance was not so large as last year
owing no doubt in part to sickness
among the members and the several
deaths that have occurred during the
year. The guests were warmly well
coined on their arrival and Mr.. and
Mrs. Phelps served them cup of hot
bouillion before the dinner hour and
presented each with carnation.
President Rufus f. Sprague called
to order at one o'clock and after
prayer by Rev. ID. E. Hills the well
come address by l.. w. Sprague and
response to it by Fred A. Washburn
were given.
Secretary 9. G. Merritt's report was
an excellent one as usual. Four deaths
occurred during the year, Mrs. John

a. Miller on Mrs. Horton.
Mrs. Ashley's memorial written by
Il. f. Sprague appeared in the invi-
tation.
Seventy-five sat down to dinner at
2 o'clock and the service and menu
was all that a person could wish for
and reflected much credit on Mr.. ana
Mrs. Phelps. The guests did ample
justice to the spread in the hour they
occupied the tables.
At the afternoon session the Presi-
dents address was followed by the
election of officers.
Then an hour was devoted to fun
and frolic, which was filled by Messrs
Brann and Rublee playing on guitars.
Solos by Miss Laura Richardson.
Whistling solo by Tedy Greene ac
companied on the mouth organ and
piano by Tommy Winter, and last a

WILL INVEST So,
The Spencer Electric Light and Power Co.
VIII Invest That Amount i'm New
Electrical Machinery.

Electrical Machinery.
The past two months the officers of
the Spencer Electric Light and Power
Co. have been visiting other cities,
seeking information relative to the
purchase of the best electrical appar-
atus for their plant. Last week they
signed contracts to the amount Of 1000
for an entire new plant with the Gen'l
Electric Co., for their very latest type
OF machines, patented last October.
With the new machinery bought the
Spencer Light Co. will put before its
patrons not only the best incandescent
lamp, but arc lamps and all kinds OF
fans, at a reasonable price, and Tor arc
lamps for interior use the light COM
pany claim the very best on the market
today. With the new apparatus the
Spencer Co. can produce the Hartford
system OF street lighting, which has a
wonderful reputation. All the old
transformers now in use will be re-
placed with new ones.
BY this new system the old company
will run 24 hours each day, so the
lamps can be turned on at any time,
day or night. With the new water
wheels and good water power that they
own at Smyrna, together with this new
machinery, the Spencer Light Co. will
certainly be in a position to give the
very latest and best service. Work
will begin at once on the construction
OF secondary lines and machines will
all be in place before May 1st.

QUEER PHILOSOPHY.

Mr.. N. F. Thompson. secretary of
the Southern Industrial Convention,
does not believe that labor has q right
to organize. He suggests that labor
unions he prohibited by law.
Mr.. Thompson's official position rem
ders his utterances all the more silly.
He says:
| Labor organizations are to-day the
greatest menace to this Government
that exists inside or outside the pale
of our national domain. Their influ
ence for the disruption and disorgani
cation of society is far more dangerous
to the perpetuatiOn of our Government
in it's purity and power than would be
the hostile array on our borders OF the
armies of the entire world combined.
As remedy for these dire evils the
Thompsonian. brain suggests the or
ganization of employers in all lines of
business. 1t calls for law that will
make any killing of PROSECUTING or in.
terfering strikers justifiable homicide,
and declares that strikes and boycotts
should be made d felony, both by ma
tiOnal and State legislation.
Imperial Thompson Let us found
Krag-J orgensen kingdom at once.
Let US have Thompson empire. with
only two classes-the men who run the
trusts and the men under the feet OF
the trusts-the men permitted by law
to shoot, and the men set forth by the
Thompson law to be shot at-the men
permitted to incorporate a business
and to close it at pleasure, and the
men working for pittance who nndel
the Thompson law cannot quit when
they want to.
One law for the employer, another
for the employed. Truly the WORLD
breeds queer philosopher now and
then.-N. Y. Journal.
