How he cured the nelI.

The late Father Boyle. who for years
was one of the most prominent and
popular Catholic priests In Washing
ton, had great reputation as wit.
Some of his most intimate friends were
Protestants- and members Of the Prot
estant clergy A few months before
his death lie erected q missionary chap
ell down by the navy yard and bought
at junkshop an old bell which. had
been discarded by one of the Protes-
tant churches. He sent the bell to a
foundry in Georgetown and had sew
cral inches of metal pared off the rim.
Having thus got rid OF a crack, the
harsh and discordant tones OF the bell
became soft and sweet. Meeting a
Presbyterian minister not long after,
Father. Boyle called his attention to the
change, and the latter could scarcely
believe 1t was the same bell.
"What In the world did you do to
that bell" inquired the Presbyterian
pastor, ito cause such change In the
toner
1--WE blessed It and blessed It and
blessed 1t until we got the Presbyterian
devil out Of It," retorted Father Boyle

Detroit. June 25.-Ten thousand
men to march in Hazen s. Pingree's
funeral procession. That is rough
estimate made by members of the citi-
zens' procession committee at a meet
ing held in the city treasurer's Office
yesterday. 1t was stated that the fu-
neral will undoubtedly De the largest
ever held in the state of Michigan. The
parade, according to estimates made,
Will be about five miles long, while
the line of march from the center of
the city to the Pingree residence,
from there to Elmwood cemetery and
then back to town, will cover a dis
lance OF nearly ten miles.
With a warm day, the committee
men figured that it will be exceeding
ly difficult to carry out a march of
such an extent. Various suggestions
were made for shortening the line of
march for most of the participating
organizations, by Maj. r. W. Jacklin,
Col. Harrah and Strathearn Hendrie,
but none were adopted. They will be
repeated to Gen. Henry M. Duffield,
chief marshal, when he returns from
New York the latter part of the week.
AS it would be impossible to bring
all the marching organizations to the
cemetery, COL Harrah suggested that
the parade be disbanded at the hour
when the services at the grave might
reasonably be supposed to be over.
The formation for military funeral
prescribed in the regular army tactics,
which seems to commend itself to the
committee, makes this order:
Music, escort, clergy, coffin and pail
bearers, mourners, members of former
command of deceased. other officers
and enlisted men, distinguished per-
sons, delegations, societies, civilians.
About 200 of the Pingree & Smith
employees have requested that they be
given position in line near the cata-
falque.
Detroit post, G.. A. R., will probably
act as escort for the catafaluue car
riage, and Pingree & Smith employees
will come next in line.
Strathearn Hendrie lieutenant-com.
mander of the Michigan naval brigade,
suggests that If about 10000 marchers
appear line be formed from the
house to the cemetery and that those
present simply salute the catafalque
and immediate escort as they march
slowly by.
Subscriptions to the Pingree mem
orial fund continue to come in. The
citizens committee is pleased that the
amounts are usually small, 81 or less,
thus showing that the common peo-
pie" for whom the late governor did
so much, are conspicuous among the
contributors. The fund is approaching
$4,000 and the subscription books are
just being distributed among the mer-
chants and manufacturers.

Irish Lacemnkipg.

After the famine of 1917 lacemaking
was revived in Ireland. Limerick, the
most successful Irish lace, is not real
ly lace at all. 1t is tambour work up
on net and muslin.
The Irish point. so called, is the an
Ncient cut work, being made in quite the
same way.
Net was first made by machinery in
176S. The machine was an adaptation
of the stocking loom to lacemaking
and was cumbrous and not very effect
i've. In 1909 John Heathcote, farm
ers son, evolved from consciousness
and experience the first machine to
make true bobbinet with perfect six
sided holes. 1t brought great hue and
cry about his ears from laceworkers.
who fancied they saw themselves thus
reduced to beggary.
The Luddites broke into the factory
where the machines were hrst set up
and made scrap Iron and kindling wood
Of them. The only result was to drive
the new manufacture to other and
safer quarters. For long the secret of
the machines construction was most
jealously guarded by English manufac-
turers. Not satisfied with letters pat
ent they kept up coast patrol to make
sure that nobody took model or draw
ings to France.
At last, though, they were outwitted.

aIf-Mast Flag Ordered Pulled Up at
Marquette.

Marquette, Mich, June 26.-Immedi-
ately following the reception of the
tidings of the death of the late Gov.
Pingree, his successor as chief execu-
tive of the state. Gov. Bliss. issued an
order directing that the flags on all
state institutions be half-masted as a
mark of respect for the dead ex-gov-
ernor. The order was received at the
branch prison here during the absence
OF Warden Freeman, and the deputy in
charge took it upon himself to comply
with the governors mandate.
When Warden Freeman returned to
the prison shortly afterward he no.
ticed the position of the flag and an.
grfly inquired why it was flying at
half-mast. He was informed that Gov.
Bliss had ordered IL placed at half
mast out of respect of the late gov
ernor, who had just died in London.
Run 1t up again. ordered the war
den, and up it went.
1t will be remembered that one of
the last acts of Gov Pingree was to
prefer charges against Warded Free
man, which were investigated by a
legislative committee. The commit
tee submitted report partially exon
Grating the warden, but it is well
known here that the truth of the more
serious of the charges against him
were established by the testimony
taken; also that the worst of the evil
dence against him was suppressed on
the investigation out OF regard for his
family.

While some one would read aloud.
But whether at study or work or play

And now they are two that gather there
At evening TO read or sew,
And II seems almost too much TO bear
When they think OF the long ago.

Blow to Benton Harhor

Benton Harbor, Mich, June 25.-lt
is more than probable that the Peters
Lumber & Single Co.'S plant, which
was destroyed by fire, will not be re-
built. Recently the state tax commits
sion raised the company's assessment
from $4,000 to 100000, which they
claim is exorbitant. The mill was
filed with high-priced machinery for
planning and joining hardwood and
flooring. The loss of the company
will reach fully $4,000. Fifteen cars
loaded with hardwood lumber, which
were standing on the tracks of the
Pere Marquette, were also destroyed.
