Kalamazoo, Mich, June 22.--Recause
the city council would not furnish
them with three brooms with which
to carry on their work, the members
of the Women's Civic Improvement
league have thrown up the sponge and
resigned their self-appointed position
rs street cleaners.
On May l the league took con-
tract to clean Main street in this city,
and for several weeks the work went
merrily on. At the eleventh hour
brooms ran out and Rev. Caroline
Bartlett Crane, chairman Of the
leagues executive committee, asked
the chairman Of the streets and bridge
committee for three brooms. He re-
TERED her to the chairman of the pur-
chasing committee, who In turn re-
ferred her to the street commissioner.
He refused to buy brooms and the
women, becoming indignant, quit.
The league has attracted attention
from every portion Of the country and
inquiries were even REGISTERED from far
sway London concerning it. It's work
on Main street has been eminently
successful and by means of steel re-
positories for refuse and an anti-spit
ordinance, it has kept the thorough
fare in very respectable shape.

dead in his bed in this city Sperry
was Dowieite and passed up doctors

he was prone to believe that that gen.

continually until he was too weak to
even offer up supplications. The facts
came to light when the physician
called upon after his death refused
to sign the death certificate. A cor
