morning was toward higher levels, although the
pace Of the advance was very tardy in COM

President to Review Fleet.

Secretary OF the Navy Metcalf
signed the formal order for the re-
view Of the Atlantic feet by the presi-
dent in Hampton Roads on December
16. The vessels will not be reviewed
by the president while they are at
anchor. as has been the case twice be-
fore during the jamestown exposition,
when he reviewed them in Hampton
Roads. Instead he will review them
as they pass out Of the Roads through
the capes to the sea.
The Mayflower, flying the presi-
dents flag, will leave Washington on
the afternoon of Sunday, December 10,
and reach Hampton Roads about s
o'clock Monday morning.
1t is not the intention of the presi-
dent to go aboard any Of the battle
ships. but Immediately after the May
flower anchors Rear Admiral Evans,
the commandments Of the fleet,
and the various flag officers, will go
on board the Mayflower and pay their
respects to the president. They will be
followed by the commanding officers
of the ships. Immediately upon their
return to their respective vessels the
order will be given for the fleet to
get under way and stand out, preceded
by the Mayflower.

Brutal Murder o, child.

The mysterious and brutal murder
of a 2-year-old child that lay sleeping
in its cradle at the home OF NJ. ID.
Morehouse at South Haven has
aroused the countryside and is puz.
cling the police authorities.
One arrest has been made, but Ii is
believed the prisoner, Mr. Morehouse,
had nothing to do with the crime.
The child belonged to Mrs. William
Fraick, who left it in care of More
house, her foster father. while she
went to Grand Rapids.
AS soon as the shooting had been
learned Morehouse was rushed to Jail.
He said the child occupied a cradle
in the same room as he and that at
2:30 a. m. he was awakened by a re-
volver shot. Upon investigating he
found the baby had been wounded in
the head He hurried to neighbours
to telephone for assistance. He de-
clared he saw no one and heard moth
ing but the shot. However, he was
placed in custody to await an investi-
CATION.
The police are now trying to locate
Mrs. Fralick as a witness, believing
that she may be able to think Of some
motive for the crime.
II is said there. has been much
trouble over property in which the
child was interested, but no tangible
motive for the crime has yet been
brought to light

Wicked Cntonauon.

Attorney General Bird, who has been
investigating complaints made to the
governor of lack of enforcement of the
laws in Ontonagon county, said that
he found many to be true.
Complaints were made" he said,
that saloons were allowed to run
wide open and vice OF all kinds per-
mitted. We found that the prosecuting
attorney was a freQuenter of saloons
and that the sheriff, one deputy and
The undersheriff were engaged in the
sale of liquor. The prosecuting Of
fcers have promised that these things
will be corrected at once"
Bird said he had also investigated
the strike riots and sent a report of
the acquittal of the defendants in the
shooting cases to the state department
in Washington. He also found, he de-
clared, that excess witness fees had
been paid out by the county clerk and
excess amounts charged by the sheriff
for summoning witnesses. He be-
lieves, however, that the officers were
acting in good faith and that they
thought they were within the law.

Will Bring Back to Many the joys Of
Their Childhood Days and the
Good Things Mother Used

II is a singular thing how as we
grow older the inherited or childish
tastes for certain dishes take prece-
dence over the later and acquired
tastes. No water is so sweet and re-
freshing as that which trickled over
the messy sides of the "old oaken
bucket" for in those days we didn't
bother our heads over such unimpor-
tant things as microbes or surface
drainage. No trapped drink in crys-
tai flagon compares with the pink lem
onade that blissfully crowned a visit
to the circus or country fair. No
bread is so delightfully."- satisfying as
the salt rising" the fat brown loaf
or "rys n'ingen." or the spoon bread

to-day the first malOdorous, the Sec
ond coarse and heavy, and the third
apt to be soggy. Oh, for the fruit

NO WEDDING.
Miss CIRCUITS Aunt Talks of the saeI-
nav GIrI's Marriage.

Mrs. w. w. Weeks, aunt by mar
riage to Miss Marie Grout, the young
Saginaw woman who Cancelled her
marriage to William Macallister, the
New York broker, on the eve of the
proposed wedding, has come to her
rescue on the subject OF the previous
marriage to young hotel clerk at At
lantic City.
THAT marriage was just a girlish
prank" she said. Moonlight walks
and rides had a good deal to do with
it. The young hotel clerk-he was
that, it is true-was an estimable
man, but he and Marie saw the folly
of their ways and separated"
Mrs. Weeks was asked about the
settlement which it was rumored had
been made with the hotel clerk when
the latter agreed to give up Miss
Grout after the marriage. She admit.
ted that some arrangement" had been
made with the hotel clerk.
Miss CIRCUITS father is independent.
ly wealthy himself and was amply
able through his legal experience to
make necessary arrangements for the
dissolution of that foolish marriage"
she said.
A perplexed father Is awaiting the
return of VIM. Macallister, Jr. He is
VIM Macallister, Sr., manager of Geo.
r. Read & Co., real estate brokers.
East Thirty-ffth street, He would like
his son to explain several things about
his proposed marriage to Marie Grout.
The elder Macallister was not aware
that his son intended to marry Miss
Grout until he read that the wedding
had been abandoned.
81 haven't heard word from my
son." said Macallister. IL don't know
the slightest reason for the wedding
being called off. In fact, he did not
take me into his confidence. For some
time he has been living at my home
in Englewood, but has been staying
in this city. / may hear something
from him when he returns"
Miss Grout returned the presents
which had been sent to her in an
ticipation of her marriage to William
Macallister. With each was sent a
note which briefly stated that circum-
stances compelled the return Of the
gifts. The action is construed as a
denial of Macallister's statement that
there might be a reconciliation.
