The Situation in South Africa.

The prospect of cessation of hostilities in
South Africa is brighter than a few weeks
ago. Conferences of Boer leaders with
burghers have been held and peace terms
discussed King Edward is said to be
anxious to have the strife over before his
coronation takes place and is ready to make
liberal concessions, in fact is disposed to
grant most anything short of independence.
The military movements, however, have not
been relinquished. The British are doing
their best to capture Gen. DeWet and his

days of the Black Horse Tavern
Squire Hodgkinson was born in Eng
land during the declining days Of
Napoleon's greatness. In 1887 he first
set foot on the land of the Stars
and Stripes, after voyage of seven
weeks. After fruitless attempt to
secure employment in New York he
decided to tempt fortune in the west,
and arrived in Detroit in October of
the same year. He proceeded at once
to Ypsilanti by stage, and stopped at
the Black Horse Tavern for short
rest. After working on the Michigan
Central until it's completion to Ypsi-
lanti he took up farming and con-
tinued in that occupation up to the
time Of his retirement. The 'squire'
was member Of the state legislature
in 1868, and in the following year was
appointed superintendent of the poor,
This office he held continuously for
nine years. He was clerk in the coun-
ty treasurer's office for four years
under George H. Stellwagen. In 1882
he was appointed clerk of the county
| house and served in that capacity for
eleven years.

: POORt1OUSE WITH A HISTORY y y

Wayne county's first poorhouse was
located on the Leib farm. out the
Gratiot road. It was opened in the
fall of 1882. The building was a long,
low wooden structure, designed after
the idea of similar institutions in
othe" states, says the Detroit Free
Press. J. F. Cooley, the first keeper,
was appointed Jan. 5, 1S33 During
the cholera plague of 1884 many chill
dren that had been bereft of their par
ents by the dread disease were housed
there. Rev Martin Kundig, a Roman
Catholic priest, was in charge in those
trying times. Though the charitable
venture gave full scope to the noble
priests ideas of Christian benevolence,
still it was fraught with financial dis
aster to himself, for IN 1888, while
obliged to care for 800 inmates, he re-
ceived not a dollar of current money
from the county, and his personal
property was finally seized and sold at
auction to satisfy his creditors.
The county authorities, aware of the
unsuitable location Of the county
house, decided to purchase large
farm some distance from the city A
desirable place was found in Nankin
township, at point on the Chicago
road, sixteen miles from Detroit,
known as the Torbet farm. Samuel
Torbet, the owner, had built in the late
twenties county hostelry on. the farm
known as the Black Horse Tavern He
conducted the "wavside inn'' for sew
erai years and made considerable
money, but his speculative turn of
mind caused him to invest in a newly
established bank. The scarcity of cur
| rency and the unreliability of the 9wild
cat" medium of exchange rendered the
bank disastrous enterprise, and Tor
bet was forced to sell lis farm. He
gave deed to the county commission
ers Of 160 acres for the sum of $500 on
February %, 1889, and on the 26th Of
| the same month gave another deed for
| l2O acres adjoining for $500. Thus the
original cost of the county farm was
only $1,000. The Black Horse Tavern

together by a hallway, after the old
style of such structure. The Detroit
& Ypsilant1 four-horse stage stopped at
the tavern on it's daily trips, to water
the horses and allow the passengers a
short rest. Many interesting tales
were told by the early settlers of the
| glorious times experienced in that old
tavern in their youthful days, when
whisky was fifteen cents gallon, and
a free-for-all fight was an hourly oc-
currence; when the red man still hunt
ed and trapped along the Rouge, and
the farmer at will stored his larder
with; venison or bear. !.
On April II, 1889, the inmates then
in the county house on Gratiot road
were removed to the tavern, which
had been overhauled by the superin-
tendents and fitted up with wards,

One Of the Things That Marked the
Mckinley Funeral Procession.
The desire for souvenirs uDon the
part of the large crowds lined along
the railroad tracks at every point was
a distinctive feature of the Mckinley
funeral train. The most popular OF all
methods adopted was the placing OF
coins On the tracks SO that the train
might pass over them, smashing fiat
the pieces of money as a mark OF
Identification in years to come. This
practice was not confined to any par
ticular point or crowd, but was indulg-
ed in generally along the route
The mutilated coins were afterWara
gathered up by their owners and dis
played with much pride. Coins of diff
ferent denominations aggregating at
least several hundred dollars were
strewn along the track at the Union
station. Even these relic hunters
seemed to appreciate the occasion and
surroundings, and instead of making
a rush for their property as soon as
the train had passed, waited until it
was out of sight before picking up the
crushed coins. j.
At Roup Station, says the Hitts-
burg Post, wealthy resident of the
Shadyside district placed a $40 gold
piece upon the rail- The approach OF
the train started to shake it off, but it
managed to remain long enough to
have just small portion of it nipped
off as if done by a knife. The owner
| is quite a collector of souvenirs and
| oddities and when he picked up his
| coin he stated that it would occupy
the most prominent and conspicuous
place in his large collection.

The remarkable popularity of the
Fitzwilliams in Yorkshire is not
matter of yesterday, but has existed
for several generations, and for cause.
An anecdote significant of the ways of
the house is told of the late earl's ia
ther A farmer came to him to repre-
sent that his wheat had been damaged
seriously by the hounds. The earl in
quired at what he appraised the
damage. The man said $50, and it
was at once paid. After harvest the
farmer came again and said that the

most trampled on, seemed the strong
