We may-rejoice in the fact that we
make such good goods that Germany
buys of us in preference to buying some
of her own goods and we may watch a
little carefully TO see that she does not
enter into any engagements in China or
elsewhere that will work against the
sale of our manufactured articles in that
or any other country and yet that's all
in the line of business-we are only look
ing out for our own interests in a friendly
spirit, and though the rivalry is some
times keen it is friendly, as frequently
occurs between large rival concerns in
our own country. With all these things
in mind therefore it is source of a great
deal of satisfaction to read of the pleas
ant time which Prince Henry of Prussia,
brother of the German Emperor, is be-
ing made to enjoy in this country.
Germany and the United States are
friends. So are England and the United
States. So, too, are Russia and this
country. But just at present, with the
preventative of the German Emperor
within our borders, particular attention
is drawn to the nation he represents.
Prince Henry has shown himself to be a
most agreeable gentleman. Long ago
he showed by his frank apology to Ad-
miral Dewey that he was brave enough
to acknowledge a mistake and today his
popularity seems quite unlimited, except
perhaps among the few who are so mar
row as to see no good at all in any
country besides their own or the one
from which they or their fathers came
To THE TINES the ranting talk about
the improperly of entertaining or hob
nobbing with royalty seems the most
absurd nonsense. What people ON the
face of the earth have better right to
'hobnob' with royalty. The people are
sovereign here, and sovereign people
can well afford to be gracious to visiting
royalty if for no other reason. But aside
from that, hundreds of thousands of our
best citizens are of German ancestry and
if for no other reason than that of hon
oring the country which gave them
birth, THE TIMES would say all honor
to our royal visitor from the German
people and may his entire visit be as
happy and propitious as the beginning
has been, and the feeling between the
two countries be better than ever as a
result.

The rural mail carriers of the country
have again reason to feel thankful to the
congressman who represents this dis
trict of the state of Michigan at Wash
ington. Beginning tomorrow the rate
of pay for all the rural carriers in the
country will be advanced from $500 per
annum to 5000 per annum. 1t will be
remembered that at the time the pay
was advanced from $400 to $500 it was
largely done at the urgent request of
Congressman Fordney who said that the
service to which the rural districts were
entitled demanded better men than $500
men and that the pay was not enough
At the present time Congressman Ford
ney and Congressman H. G. Smith, of
the second district, worked hand in
hand for another increase and were in
formed by the postmaster general that
if they would secure the signatures of
sufficient number of congressman to
petition asking for an advance to war
rant him in taking the action he would
advance the pay of the rural carriers
another hundred dollars under the au-
thority already given him by congress.
Congressman Fordney and Smith did
not let the matter go by default and the
result is that the rural carriers of the
country will receive little nearer the
amount which they deserve.

Will Owosso vote next Wednesday to
invest $4,000 in brick furniture
factory guaranteed to employ $50 men?
That is the question now before the
voters of the city The question has
been stated plainly in another column
over the signature of L. E. Woodland &
Sons. In brief these gentlemen, who
have already operated furniture fac
tory in this city and know the ms and
outs OF the business propose if the city
is DESTROYS of making further progress,
to erect another furniture factory in this
city to turn out still better grade of
furniture than that which they were
turning out when their former factory
burned. They ask the city to expend
S15, 900 and agree to give back deed to
five years They agree that the factory
shall be first class in every respect fitted
with the best and heaviest wood work
ing machinery, and point out that the
grade of furniture they wish to make
will demand men who can earn higher
wages than those paid in factories which
make cheaper grade of goods The
question seems to THE TIMES to be little
different from similar questions which
have been answered before by Owosso
voters. 1t is once more a question
whether the citizens of Owosso think it
is worth while to take action to set the
city growing vigorously again or
whether they prefer to let the oppor-
tunity go by and as result see grow
ing list of empty houses allover the city.
At present the city seems to have
started on healthy growth agains The
question is shall this be kept up. On
previous occasions when similar PROPOSE
tions have been made by those whom
the voters of the city knew their vote
has been for progress and expansion. 1t
does not seem likely that they will go
back on their former records. at this
time. The progress of the city, the in
crease in business activity, the increased
opportunities for labor, and the added
houses which will be built, all are strong
arguments in favor of voting in favor of
the proposition. Add TO these the fact
that while there will be slight increase
in the tax Of each taxpayer, there will
be also in a measure decrease owing to
the very fact last mentioned that there
will be more houses built each of which
will bear its share in the taxes, in turn
tightening the others to that extent
Taken all together therefore the question
is, as said above, again question of
whether the citizens of Owosso wish to
see the city grow and prosper, or see
decline set in. THE TIMES believes that
the majority of the citizens will be
found in favor of progress.
The indications all seem to point to
the unanimous nomination of John T.
Walsh as the republican candidate for
city treasurer, as no one else has ap-
peared as candidate Mr.. Walsh will
make a strong man to place on the
ticket and will be most obliging and
treasurer-as he is sure to be
elected.

1t probably might have been expected
that the family that produced man
guilty of the acts which Senator Till
man Of South Carolina committed might
produce another who would be pre-
sumptuous and silly enough to attempt
to spub the president of the United
States and the same has proved to be
true The lieutenant governor of South
Carolina, also named Tillman and also
relative of the senator, has asked the
presid 1t to withdraw his acceptance of
the invitation which had been given him
to make the presentation of a sword to
one of the majors OF the first L. S. vol
unteer cavalry. The Tillmans may re-
joice but the state of South Carolina has
not added anything to the esteem in
which it is held by the rest of the
country.

OwOssO, FRIDAY, FEB. 90, 1902

A number of months ago German
papers had good deal to say about
American manufactures, especially of
such high grade articles as typewriters,
which were being purchased in large
quantities in that country. The sale of
American machines is evidently keeping
up since one Michigan manufacturer of
typewriters alone, The Fox Company
of Grand Rapids, sold over one hundred
type writers in Germany last month.
The same company has also just made
a shipment of twenty Fox machines to
New Zealand and now has about one
hundred of its machines in that country.
American machines and American
machinists have evidently not yet run
their race in the world contest.

OBSERVED THE TIME LIMIT.
How q New Yorker Was Afforded an
Opportunity to Warm His Hands
In Boston.

Treasurer Logee, of the Young |
Mems Christian association, tells
characteristic story of Boston deliber-
ateness, the moral of which he always
applies to his own hand in the audi
ence's pocketbook, says the New York
Tribune.
Not long ago New York CONNER
cial traveller was riding in Boylston
street car. 1t was bitterly cold day.
and. as the New Yorker had mad
vertently, forgotten to take his gloves
when he started out, his hands were
nearly frozen.
Presently a spare and prim Boston
woman entered the car, and, gathering
her skirts tightly about her, took
seat next the New Yorker. In her lap
she laid very imposing fur nun, into
which she thrust one hand, having the
vacant side toward the New Yorker.
A violent temptation to thrust his be-
numbed fingers into the fieecy depths
| of the muff assailed the traveller. For
n time he resisted courageously, but
at length, as the ear shot into the dark
Subway, human uoeuAO SS~AN $500 -.
longer. and he surreptitiously thrust
one hand into the mum.
After a few minutes. when de-
llicious sense OF warmth was just per"
ivading his hand, the Boston woman
turned to him and observed with great
dignity:
'.sir. you have your hand in my
muff."
The trespasser began to stamrner q
confused apology, but the Boston
woman ignored it, and continued icily;
"Sir, might make trouble for you
/ might call the conductor and have
YOU removed from the car"
The New Yorker trembled visibly at
this awful threat. The Boston woman
concluded with superb hauteur;
"But, sir, I'd have you understand,
know my rights as Boston woman
and, sir, I'll give you just 20 minutes
to remove your hand"
The New Yorker escaped just - min
and SO seconds before the time limit
expired.

One Proud spirited Fellow who Az
ways Warns HIS Victim When
Il IL Too Late.


To a philosophical observer the ,
walters Of New York furnish an end
less field for study. So numerous are
the restaurants of this great city,
and so diverse their nationahties, that
a would seem as IL nearly al styles
Of walters in the world are here repre-
sented. says the Tribune. From the
respectful servility OF the French
waters at Delmonico's or Sherry's
down to the positive turbulence OF the
Irish-American walters who "sling
hash" in the Bowery 1t is far cry
indeed; yet each style has its uses,
and the customers would complain II
they missed it.
There is a waiter In Park Row who
Affects neither the manners OF Fifth
avenue nor the Bowery. His spirit is
too proud for servility; his physique
unsuited for truculency. he pursues
the middle course, Of always trying
"a make the customer feel responsible
for the faults of the service or the Dill
of fare. Does he carelessly spill soup
upon the clothes of patron OF the
place. will he apologize? Never. In
cheerful and forgiving voice he ex-
claims:
"Look out, sirI"
Does he utter the warning before
the coffee slops over and descends be-
tween your collar and neck? Never.
But as it trickles down your spine, he
court eouslv cries:
"Look out, sirl"
Every outrage which he commits
upon the unoffending customer is fol-
lowed by this "Look out, sirl" and the
odsi thing about 1t is that nobody slugs
him, but nearly all his victims are
made to feel in some unaccountable
way that II they had done their part
in docking out" the accident would
not have happened. One day, however
this impudent waiter met man who
would not suffer himself SO easily to
be placed In the wrong, AS a splash o.
gravy fell upon his Gun, and the genial
ssLook out, siri" fell upon his ear, he
leaped up, and with whitening scorr
and in tones which reached the ear Of
the boss at the far end OF the room
exclaimed:
"Why do you tell me to Look out
sir?' You spilled the gravy on M
without any warning at all. Now yo'
tell me to look out Do you intend =
do it again?"

Income Tar IN France.

The income tax in France is collected

done this, and the enormous profits

ART CLUB HAVE A VERY
 EXCITARLE TIME.
While Perambu1ating by Moonlight
 They Meet a Bear.

The Valdez Art Club held a very interesting meeting last week al the residence of Mrs Strouse. The house was handsomely decorated in the interior for the occasion, and Mir Hunt exhibited some of the lat est productions from his Cameras.
 After the business of the evening was over, a very elaborate repast was served by the hostess which was more then relished by the few present. When this mode of exer- else was completed, all got ready and started on walk to the glac- fer. When about half way there they met a most enjoyable suprise. They had decided to return but before doing so they clim bed a short way up the mountain side and sat down for rest, when in the near distance a monster bear was seen crossing the flat. It is needless to say that none of the party undertook to modest him, but after his departure his track was measured and it was found that his hind foot measured 22J inches in length. The party then returned after what was rated bv all as the most enjoyable and ex- citable evening of the season.
 The above facts just came to light few days ago. The party did not want the matter made public as they felt chagrined at becoming so frightened at the bear and not killing him or even taking a shot at the big brute.
