Fully $4,000 people were in Saginaw
Friday for military day, the biggest
event of the semi-centennial celebra-
ton. The soldiers of the Michigan
National Guard arrived in the morning
and some of the tents were pitched in
Hoyt park. The men appeared fresh
in their khaki uniforms, despite the
hard work of the encampment and the
all night ride.
At 1870 p. m. the guard started on
siX-mile march through streets
packed by thousands, and were re-
viewed by Gov. Warner, later breaking
camp to continue the homeward jour
ney.
The program concluded with a
grand historical pageant with 40 IL
Eliminated floats, representing the adj
vancement and progress of the city,
followed by court ball presided over
by the king and queen of the celebra-
ton.

WHAT THE WOMEN WORE.
OF Course the Story Teller Didn't
Really Mean Just That.

A gentleman recently returned from
that quiet little Maryland resort,
Ocean City, has tale to tell of con-
ditions that are really sensational
And the worst of IL was that he did
not know they were sensational at ALL
He was out calling the other evening
aud the conversation started with the
shirtwaist man, who, the returned
wanderer said, was to be found in
great quantities at the summer resort
Then he told about the habit every
body down there had contracted OF
going without hats. This is the way
he told 1t to an interested company:
you see everybody down there
going about just the same. The men
never wear coats; they go about in
just their shirts and trousers, and the
women are just like them"

Suicide Ends All.

Destroying everything that could
possibly lead to his Identification, a
man giving the name of Charles Far
ling, aged about so years, who is be-
lieved to be resident of Detroit,
hurled himself before a fast train on
the Grand Trunk railway at Cassop-
oils and was instantly killed. Farling
came TO Marcellus about three months
ago. He read the Detroit papers close
ly especially the real estate news and
though very reticent in discussing his
own affairs, from a few remarks
dropped it was gathered that he had
been in the real estate business in
Detroit He walked some distance up
the Grand Trunk tracks and waited
for the fast train. The engineer saw
him throw himself before the engine
and when the train was stopped he
was dead and his body badly mangled.
There was about $40 in his pockets,
which will be used to defray his burial
expenses. Nothing in his pockets or
room could be found which would
give clue to his true identity.

Of the bargain. Kalamazoo had di-

hoped TO defeat him. But there is still
third delegate to be elected and the
convention will hold another session

choice can be made.
The fight then will be over Delos

Kalamazoo. 1t is likely that the dele

only two delegates in the convention.

Care of the BOYS at SAGINAW.

Regarding the talk to the effect
that the brigade of the Michigan ma
tional guard were not properly cared
for there Friday, Military day" Gen
eral Chairman Linton, of the commit
tee on arrangements of the semi-cen-
tennial, says that the statements are
wholly unwarranted and unsubstan-
tiated.
Whatever arrangements were made
or were not made were handled by
the state and not by Saginaw" he
says. ION several occasions the local
military committee in conference with
the state authorities brought up this
very point and spoke of the food for
the soldiers.
They were informed that the oc-
casion in Saginaw was really the last
day of the state encampment and that
the state would take full charge of
everything and provide rations and all
supplies needed. The matter was thus
taken entirely out of the hands of the
local committee.
THE legislature appropriated $4,000
for the removal Of the troops to the
Saginaw celebration. This was to Gov
er some $500 railroad fare and leave
$500 for rations, etc., for the second
day. AS the troops were here but one
day this latter sum was untouched and
consequently there was ample funds
for all expenses"
