FOLLOWERS OF WESLEY
HOLD ANNUAL BANQUET
MINISTER'S FROM NORTH GUESTS
OF LOCAL ORDER
Speakers Tell of Difficulty of Carrying
on Charity Work In San Francisco
and the Need of Money for All
Branches of Religious Labor

with all the saloon forces with
which we have to contend in San
Francisco, I consider that high license
is far better than low license and that
the saloons should be decreased in
number instead of increased" said DR..
Francis Larkin, pastor of the Grace
Methodist church of San Francisco, last
evening at the first annual meeting and
banquet of the Methodist Episcopal So
cial union at the Fraternal Brotherhood
hall.
A large company of Methodist men
and women gathered at the hall at
o'clock and enjoyed a reception until
1880 o'clock. after which banquet was
served, $50 covers being laid.
For nearly three hours the adherents
of the Wesleyan faith fingered at the
tables and exchanged thoughts in bril-
liant repartee.
At nearly the close of the banquet
w. L. Cleveland, the president of the
union, called upon Miss Bulah Wright,
who gave several readings.
DR.. Larkin was introduced and spoke
on some of the political conditions we'll
known in San Francisco.
I'VE have "a cosmopolitan element in
San Francisco of seventeen different
nationalities and seven different for
eign languages with which to contend.
Los Angeles is freer from these con-
ditions.
Need Money for Work
1--WE are in great need of money in
San Francisco to carry on our church
and charitable work."
The speaker turned to the points of
substantial methods in uplifting the
Christian work. DR.. Larkin was fol-
lowed by Rev. e. A. Healy.
The following officers were elected:
s. p. Milford, president; A. j. Wallace,
vice president; John w. Wilmington,
secretary, and Miss Della Bates treas
urer. The following committee was ap-
pointed to draft bylaws to be submitted
at the next meetings G. |. Cochran,
w. f. CallendeV, j. j. Hawks, p. H..
Bodlkin and @. r. BoYard.

Elmer Walters latest sensation, "a
Millionaire Tramp" contains seven
of the strongest comedy characters
that have ever been collected in one
play. Each differs vastly from the
other and lends opportunity for
variety and action. The ghost scene
in the first, and the darkey pOrter's
scene In the third act are two of the
funniest imaginable. The dramatic
scenes are fully abreast of the comedy,
and the scenic mounting superb.
The Church of the Holy Cross in the
second act is one of the handSOmest
settings of this kind that has ever
been attempted. The opera house in
the third act is decided novelty,
something entirely new and out Of the
ordinary, while the old hotel in the
last act is the very embodiment of
quaintness and originality. Will be
at the Grand opera house Saturday
night, February IL.

The drivers at the several livery
stables and the rural mail carriers tell
of wonderful experiences they pass
through in driving through the out
lying districts. The deep snow and
the constant drifting has elevated the
roadway all the way from three to
five feet deep so that in turning out
to pass teams, OftentimeS mail wagons
are easily upset. PiUch-holes are
many and very deep. In some cases
the farmers mail boxes are a foot or
two below the top Of Snow-drftS.
Farmers are very diligent in ShOveling
the snow away in order that the mail
delivery men can get to the boxes.
When the thaW comes in the spring,
chances are good for many of the
roads to be impossible for some time

The indications now point to CON
siderable building with the opening
of Spring. There is strong evidence
that the Wood County National bank
people will erect a two story solid
brick building, 40X50, facing on Bridge
street. E. j, Wood expects to put up
new block, the Free MasOns expect
to erect a Temple, two story, either
of brick or cement blocks, to cost
about SS,0OOO0, and we hope the First

erect new bank building and the
proposed new opera house will
materialize into a handsome new
edifice,

There ls more Catarrh in this section of the
country than all other diseases put together,
and until the last few years was supposed to be
incurable. For a great many years doctors
pronounced it a local disease and prescribed
local remedies, and by constantly failing to
cure with local treatment, pronounced it in
durable. Science has proven catarrh to be a
constitutional disease and therefore requires
constitutional treatment. Halls Catarrh Cure,
manufactured by F. J. Cheney & Co., Toledo,
Ohio, is the only constitutional cure on the
market. 1t is taken internally in doses from 10
drops to a teaspoonful 1t acts directly on the
blood and mucous surfaces of the system. They
offer one hundred dollars for any case it fails to
cure. Send for circulars ana testimonials.

We wonder if any of our leading
business men are taking any interest
in the question of a new depot for the
G. NJ. & ST. Paul railway company.
If the citizens of Grand Rapids do not
beStir themselves in this behalf by
impresSing the officials of that
company with the need of such an
editice, they certainly will not go to
the expense until they are compelled
to. If the old rattle-trap which they
now use for depot could be struck by
lightning or accidentally consumed
by fire, it would be a good thing for
all concerned. We believe that new
depot is greatly needed and the
present depot could be used for
freight purposes. There is no good
reason why the city of Grand Rapids
is not entitled to the same depot
accommodations that Wausau and
Merrill enjoy. Who will volunteer to
do their share in getting this new
depot, by writing the company and
laying before them our needs in that
direction?
