Temperance questions may
not be SO frequently discussed
and debated as in former years,
but the business world is an
orator more potent than any plat
form speaker, and the business
world as 8 source Of self-protec-
ton, has been compelled to take
up the question, and plant some
body blows against the use Of
intoxicants. The large corpora
tons, particularly the railroad
companies, have been for some
time taking active measures to
prevent intemperance among
their employees. For some years
prohibitive rules have been in
force among the trainmen in
many Of these corporations, and
the prohibition is becoming more
extended and more rigid each
year on many Of the more i'm
portant lines, where ~hnman life
and property interests are so
constantly at stake in railroad
work. The Burlington system,
as will be seen by the following
telegram sent out from Chicago
headquarters, is extending pro
hibition among its employees:
Chicago, Feb. 25.-Oficials OF the
Burlington railroad have started q
campaign against intoxicants, with Z
view TO Graduating their use by the
employees Of every department, not
only on duty, but also while OF duty
Heretofore the stringent rule against
the use Of liquor while on duty has
only been enforced rigidly against
those who had anything to do with thu
operation Of trains. Hereafter thu
rule will be enforced against the en-
ployes Qf all departments.

How Helen Keller Writes.

Not one person in ten thousand OF
those who will read Helen Keller's
own story OF her life, when it begins
in an early issue Of The Ladies' Home
Journal, will have the least conception
of the amount of hard work to write
the story. First Of all Miss Keller
puts down her ideas sin Braille," as
the blind express it; that is to say, in
the system of points" raised on
paper by means of a stylus and slate
devised to aid the blind; these
'spoints" being read afterward by
passing the sensitive fingers over them
When all of this Braille work has been
completed Miss Keller goes to her
typewriter and uses these notes as a
guide to the rewriting OF the story.
AS soon as a page Of the matter is
typewriter it is, Sc to speak, lost 20
Miss Keller, who has to depend upon
her faithful teacher, Miss Sullivan, to
repeat it to her by spelling out each
sentence by means of the hands. 1t is
a tedious task, especially as some OF
the pages have to be read again and
again, with changes here and there,
before Miss Keller is satisfied. Then,
when the proofs are sent to her, all
this slow process of spelling word
after word has to be gone through
once more, so that each word that
Helen Keller writes goes through her
fingers at least five times. 1t will be
a satisfaction to everybody to know
that the publishers of The Journal
have recognized in a substantial!
manner the extraordinary ability n
patience which Miss Keller has shown
in her work.

Cement sidewalks.

Saranac Advertisers: Belding and
Lowell are in fight over sidewalks
and each town has paper on both
sides Of the question. There are two
factions in each village. One side
wants the village to encourage the
building of cement walks by paying a
portion of the expense out of the viii
lage treasury; the other side, com
posed of "chronic kickers," Is oppos-
ing it for fear il will cost them few
cents in taxes. Saranac has an or
dinance of this kind and before the
present season ends we will have more
cement sidewalks than any village of
its size in the state. II is gooC
thing pass it along.
Muir Tribune The village boarC
met on Tuesday evening and voted t'
give 33i5 per cent Of the cost TO prop
erty owners who will build cemen
sidewalks. They also decided that al
crosswalks built in the future shall b
of cement.

NOT TO Be PUT OFF.
Fosters Wife Comes Back To Lowell
and Proposes to- Stay by Him.

Readers of the BANNER will OF
course recall the article of two weeks
ago regarding Il. Nj. Foster and his
wife coming here from Canada to look
him up, finding him at Lowell run
ming a hotel and living With another
woman. Most people thought she
was pretty easy when she agreed to
and did go back to her home in Cana
da upon his very reluctantly extract
ed promise TO close up his business
and follow as soon as possible. But it
seems she is not quite so easy after
all as will be seen by the following
dispatch from Lowell to the Grand
Rapids Evening Press under date of
May I'd:
Foster who was brought into prom
inence recently by having around him
larger number of women than the
law allows, is again in the public eye.
Last week when the real Mrs Foster
came here from Port Dover, Ont and
found her husband living with another
woman, the affair was patched up
and the woman returned home, her
husband promising to follow her. This
he did not do.
Mrs. Foster returned here yesterday
and found the second woman, who is
Rose Phil of Grand Rapids, still liv-
ing with him. War was on at once,
and before it ended Mrs. Foster had
announced her intention of staying
here until her husband and his erst-
while companion had agreed to leave
the village. The latter will go to Big
Rapids, where she is said to have
friends. She is at present one of the
parties in a divorce suit filed in Grand
Rapids.

Plant More Trees.

Grand Haven's council, ii is report
ed. has passed an ordinance requiring
the planting of shade trees along all
graded streets. While the wisdom
and general appropriateness of such
a measure is open to serious question,
there can be no doubt as to its good
intent. 1t aims in the right direction
to make Grand Haven a beautiful
city, and pleasant city in which to
live.
Grand Haven in it's tree planting
enthusiasm is certainly SETTING =. t9ssa.y
walks, handsome trees, attractive
lawns and pretty gardens improve
the looks of town wonderfully, and
make it better place in which 70

yield results that more than repay
whatever effort and expense they may
involve. These are truths that too
many towns do not seem to realize.

might be made highly enjoyable if
that desert should be transformed in

CITY FATHERS Appointments.
They seem To Think the City OH
GERS Were All Right and Re-
elected the Bunch.

The first Monday night in May is
the time set when the city fathers
shall assemble and determine who
shall fill the various appointive of
fees under their control. Time has
been when the action to be taken at
this meeting excited much interest
and many citizens and taxpayers took
occasion to be present on said even
ing, but not last Monday evening.
Whether from feeling of certain
ty i'm the result or from a lack of
interest we know not, but they were
not there. 1t was utterly devoid of
exciting features, City marshal
Mitchell, health officer Ohlinger,
nightwatch Riker, city attorney
Sheldon, auditor Robinson and Park
Commissioner Hubbell being chose n
as their own successors without a
single contrary vote, On president
pro TEN, there was a tie between aid.
Putnam and Fisher which the Mayor
decided in favor of the former.
The old cemetery was up again and
discussed. 1t will be remembered by
residents here at that period that
there was a warm time over the same
a number of years ago, the PROPOSE
tion to enlarge the cemetery being
fought hard and ii was decided not to
do So sIt is claimed that the line fence
has now been moved back without
authority and at least six burials
made outside the original grounds.
Action was deferred until further in
vestigation could be made.
A proposition was made by Geo. w.
Ellis as stated by Aid. Hudson that if
the city would extend the water
mains in the first ward, one block
north from May st. to Ellis ave, he
would personally assume three
fourths of the cost. This is certainly
a very liberal offer and even though
the city is hampered by a lack of
funds to make many extensions at
present, it seems as though it would
be wisdom to make extensions in al
most any direction upon such liberal
terms. Furthermore Mr.. Ellis has
been very generous in other matters
with the city although nonresident
and is entitled - y, ,ase-.--.-aS----..---

Renutifying n Town.

There are various ways OF beautlfy-
ing town, either by Improvement
associations, by action of the munic-
ipal authorities or by individual ac-
tion of the citizens, and another high
lv successful method has been inau-
gurated by the people of Carthage,
Mo where the matter is taken in
charge by the school children, in
duced to effort by the award of prizes.
Carthage has population of less
than 10000, but its improved scheme
has given it considerable fame. The
Superintendent of Schools instituted
the system of prizes, which are con-
tributed by public spirited citizens
and range from $50 down, and last
summer $50 boys and girls competed
for them. There were 36 prizes alto
gether. the members of the woman's
club acting as Judges, and they were
awarded for the prettiest vegetable
garden, the most attractive flower
beds. the most decorative vine-cover'
ed porch or tree stump, the neatest
lawn etc. Inspired by the example
| people out of school began to improve
the exterior of their buildings and a
a result the city has acquired repu
tation for beauty and people trave
miles to visit il.

The Old Cemetery Question Revived

In 1893 petition was presented to
the Common Council of the City of
Belding against the enlargement of
the old Cemetery on account of the
many cases of Typhoid Fever and sick
ness which originated in the south
part of town. On October 10th, 1893,
the petition was granted by on unan-
imous vote of the council against an
enlargement of the old cemetery.
Now it is said the old fence has been
moved. and ground south of the old
cemetery owned by private party,
is being plated, and in the last few
months several interments have been
made contrary to the action of record
of the Council in 1898. Now by what
right or authority can the same be
legally done? The City gets no bene.

cemetery, and il will be an ever in.
