Among the innovations suggested
by the Lake Carriers Is an insurance

lose their lives, during the navigation
season. 1t Is proposed that certain

to be applied to this fund, and that
members of the association shall also
make contributions. This proposition
Is deserving of hearty approval. Sea-
men as a class are improvident. The
manner in which they spend their
money is proverbial Many of them
have families ashore who are depend
emit upon their earnings, and while
the government provides a free hos
pital for injured seamen, there is no
temporary provision for the family de-
prived of its support. In case life is
lost the family Is often left In sore
straits. More or less opposition will
be encountered from the men who will
derive the benefits. Their pay Is small
at best, and any reservation for in
surance will be regarded as a hold-up
In the interest of some other fellow

pect to be lost overheard or drowned
In sinking ship. Once established on
sound basis, the insurance plan will
not only become permanent benefit
for class which needs protection, but

men who oppose it.-Detroit Evening

What appeared admirable on Saturday night was the finish of some of her acts. The smallest details were thought of and were carried out with careful art. The scene where, backed by the company in the second act. she plans to awake her husband, is typi- cal of this. It is well drawn out-but how perfect! The cake walk in the same act gathered heaps of applause. And, the rest of the company-very faff girls and proper men-being mere ly lay figures. how she did dance! The rhythmic wobble of her figure, the ever-changing coon play of her fea- fnres, the pose, the step, the eXpreS- sion, were so full of African color and natural grace that the audience gave way to the impression and re- called her again and again.
