A. TenBroeck, OF Calumet, at the
gathering of the Michigan Histori-
cal Society at Lansing. recently,
much local history was included in
a paper of considerable length. We
have space for only a part of the
address, that portion pertaining to
L'Anse and vicinity in the earlier
northern wilderness days:
''Tbe location of Keweenaw point
on the map Of Lake Superior is not
one whit more unique than the part
it has played in the history OF that
lake. Running some fifty miles out
into the lake, it forms a very promi-
nent Typographical feature. one
whose bold hills and rocky coasts
peremptorily demand attention from
the passerby. The rock strewn
shores, broken by safe harbors,
have alternately been the terror
and comfort of the storm tossed
mariner.
SAT L'Anse, there were two or
three causeless alarms. On one occa-
sion WORD was received that the
young Indians had taken to the
woods with their war weapons. At
once the settlers assembled in one
house. The men were organized,
guns loaded, and windows and doors
barricaded. Several Indians joined
the whites. After several hours OF
anxious waiting for the attack, about
IL O'Clock at night friendly Indians
were sent out to scout. Some two
hours later the glimmer OF guns on
the hillside in the moonlight iudi-
Gated the presence of Indians stealth
lily approaching the house. The
terror increased many fold, for the
crisis had come. But it did not stay,
however, for these were the scouts
returning. And morning light, with
its natural return Of courage, proved
the falsity Of the alarm and restored
the mutual confidence of red and
white. One cannot help but admire
the men who restrained the savage
and cultivated the child like sim
plicity of the wild men. They found
the Indian truly loyal to the pale
faced brother. He stood ready to
guide his canoe and furnish him with
the produce of the hunt, meat for his
hunger, fur for his market, to run
his errands, and to carry his mes.

in Keweenaw we may quote the mu'

beneath Brockway mountain, near

That one, not long since master of the prettiest estate for hundred miles around, in now living in a cheap boarding house in back street. His daughter, who dreamed of mullating some of their girl friends, and carrying into noble English families. are now looking for work as companions or typewriters. There are scores of such instances.
 No wonder the elder en here are pessi- mists. The drought is over now, but every one knows that before this generation is past there will probably be another great drought.

 The second scourge of the people, any orthodox Brisbane citizen will tell you, is the politician. Three years ago, when federation was arrived at, the leisurely men of this State put up their candi. dates and then apparently went to sleep.

appeals to the negroes of America to go
 thither and join with them in bringing
 their great land within the pale of An glo-Saxon civilization.
 Some people misunderstood me; they think that my scheme is to take the 9,000,000 negroes in the Southern States to Africa in order to free them in a bulk from Southern oppression. But it is not so. All that my scheme will do is to offer an asylum, a refuge, to worthy southern negroes if they wish to accept it. I am solely interested in Africa; in lits full positive, absolute redemption from chaos and heathenisrn. The negro
 problem in the Southern States is a local problem and must be worked out by the local authorities; if they can
 solve it, it will be all right, if they can
 not solve it, the negroes will most certainly be exterminated, simply be- cause the two races cannot exist to- gether great length of time in open hostility to each other without the
 stronger totally destroying the weaker; from my point of view, the civili- I zation ofJ Africa, the consecration of ] Africa to British ideas, is much more Important to the world, to mankind in general than the soothing of the fric- l tion between the whites and the blacks 1 of the United States. I hope however,
 to see the negroes of the United States
 get heaping measure of fair play, but
 nothing is surer to my mind than that
 shall never realize any such hope in this life, or even in the life to come.
 Again, affirm that If it turns out 1 impossible to get 8 sufficient number of 1 the sort of negroes we require to inter- est themselves in such an undertaking l it is proof beyond all doubt that the negro race, as as a race, is incapable of independence and government, and
 as a consequence wholly unfit to exer- else or enjoy equality of citizenships
 side by side with the Caucasian. Mark well the agitation of this scheme will put the negro on trial, 1t will test his Hove of liberty; it will test his ambition I to rise to eminence; it will test his fortitude to assume difficulties; it will test his strength to shoulder heavy bur dens, and it will test his confidence ir himself to stand alone. Yes, if he fails to take hold oe this scheme he is un. worthy to be classed with the other
 races and all my hope in him is but . glaring nyth.'' h.''--Montreal Star.

IN HONOR OF M'KINLEY.

(continued from First Page,) for ampIer, juster and more generous national life.
 Yours very sincerely,
 George B. Cortelyou. John F. Gaffey, President, the McMc-
 Kinley Association of Connecticut
 New Haven. Conn.
 After reading the communications Postmaster Gaffey introduced the first speaker of the evening, Mayor Studley, who spoke on the City of New Haven" The speaker referred to true patriotism and said that McKinley's entire life was a perfect example. He also said that President Mckinley was a man who was greatly loved by all and that his memory would be held in the deepest respect and greatest honor. In finishing his remarks he welcomed all the out of town guests, and gave them the free dom of the city.
 Governor Chamberlain was the next speaker. and he delivered one of his usually pleasant speeches. He eulo- gized the dead statesman and said that it had been his great pleasure to have met him at one time when he (the gov- ernor) had been visiting some relatives in Ohio. He said that people could not help loving man who loved his fami- ly and home and country as did William Mckinley.
 Hon. Stewart l.. Woodford was the next speaker, and his subject was Me Kinley and the Spanish War; General Woodford reviewed President McKin- lev's relations with the war. and said that his whole initial policy was to-

characterizes religious faith, and he al- ways had the courage of them. Me- Kinley had always been in advance of his party upon the great issue with which his name has been more partic- uIarly associated.
 The speaker then reviewed Mckinley as governor of Ohio and his splendid leadership in congress, and later Me Kinley as a candidate for president and his noble work as president, which did so much to promote the country's pros perity.
 Mckinley and the Spanish war was the next feature of Mir. Brandegee's brilliant address, and finally the last sad scenes in the statesman's life were briefly recounted.
 The next speaker was Hon. Lynde Harrison, who was loudly applauded when he arose. His address was on Mckinley and International Arbitra- tion." a matter in which Judge Harri- son has taken more than an ordinary amount of interest. Judge Harrison said, in part:
 .'The prediction of John Ffske, of Massachusetts, in regard to arbitra- tion has, in great measure, come true l and I firmly believe tha tthe next few years will see a great amount of prog ress made in the direction of interna- tional arbitration. William Mckinley, then in the house of representatives, introduced and led the movement in calling on Great Britain to form per- manent international arbitration mak- i ing war between the mother country and the offspring next to impossible. This was the first step taken in this direction by any country in the world. Great Britain, as well as the United States, took this up, and in 1897 the Pauncefote treaty was prepared. Mo Kinley advocated this, but it failed. on account of the Alaska boundary ques- tion.
 'The United States was the first country to take notice of The Hague tribunal and was the first country to submit question to 1t through the in- fuence of MT. Mckinley. This work of Mckinley was sindorsed by all sects in this country and met with the appro- bation of all.
 "The idea of John Fiske has culmin- ated in the work of the late MT. Me Kinley. and though the ashes of the dead president lie in the grave, the work of arbitration will go successful ly on.'
 The next speaker was Lewis G. Rey- mold, and he spoke on Mckinley as l Knew Kim
 The last speaker of the evening was Broughton Brandenburg. who took for his subject "The Confidence of the American People in Mckinley" His words were a fine eulogy of the depart ed president.

Briton Would Colonize British Africa

 Dr. A. B. Walker, barrister- -at-law and editor and proprietor of the maga- zine, Meth, St. John, N. B., is in Mon- treal in the interest of his publication.
 Tn an interview with the Star, pr. Walker said that he had two objects in publishing his monthly, naely1n, to furnish the Canadian people with a first-class periodical and to open a for unl in which he could discuss his plan of civilizing the whole continent of Afri- ca.
 T believe" observed pr. Walker, "that through distinctively Canadian magazine, wish eventually be able to lay my views of African colonization before the Anglo-Saxon world and let me say that while I am negro in blood and origin. am an Anglo-S Saxon, a British Anglo-Saxon in knowlege and sympathy, and I am heartily proud of both possessions. My dark skin has nothing whatever to do with the quail ity of my soul.
 | once you polish it with Anglo Saxon civilization, you will find that it will rise to the level of the Concession. Give it time, and treat 1t with patience, kind- ness and discernment, and it will be- come most useful force for righteous ness. Indeed, wherever the negro has been trained and trusted, and put te the test, he has made splendid record Take, for example, Sir William Conrad l Reeves and Bishop Crowther-one rose from the ranks, the other was a slave.
 "What about your plan of civilizing Africa?" pr. Walker was asked.
 "'It is simply this: Let the British Government set apart a definite ol specific piece of territory in some part of British Africa not already occupied by white people, and specially invite ar intelligent, industrious, respectable class of civilized negroes to go there an6 settle, and assist them to go, and wher they get there help them until they are able to sustain themselves.

BEFORE THE
COURT ON
DEMURRER

The petitions OF Maud A. s. Kenney and
Morse wightman for writs OF mandamus
against the state board OF dentistry were
heard by Chief Justice Tillinghast and
Justices Douglas and Dubois today.
Petitioners desire. as they claim to have
successfully passed examinations in den
tistry. 10 have the state board forced 10
give them certificates to practice as
dentists.
The state board filed a demurrer. the
main point being that the question OF
whether the examination passed by the
petitioners is satisfactory Is one for the
board, and that the court cannot review
the boards action in regard 10 the ex-
animation. 1t was therefore asked that
the petitions be dismissed.
Hugh J. Carroll is counsel for the Pc
titioners, and w. Il. Greenough repre-
sented the state board.
