A Poor Relation.

Sol Smith Russell's "a Poor
Relation" which which will be pre-
sented in the L'Anse Opera House
next Tuesday evening, January 18th,
is rarely entertaining and sym
pathetic drama which that eminent
actor made famous. Dealing with
the tribulations, misfortunes and
ultimate triumph OF poor inventor
made the victim OF scoundrels, the
play contains infinite touches OF
human nature and appeals to the
hearts best aud noblest impulses.
Noah Vale's fatherly interest 10 and
care for poor waif of hoy and a
girl, whom he manages to feed and
clothe out OF his own meagre means
forms one OF the pathetic touches Of
the play, which likewise abounds in
many flashes OF genial wit and
humor. 1t has Its romance, too,
though the outlook for poor Noah
is very dark until at last he reaps
the reward OF his inventive genius,
and the Williams who stole his de-
signs are unmasked.
Infinite amusement is caused by
the scene in which Noah mends the
clothing Of the little boy. The
urch;n not knowing the luxury o.
two pairs of breeches and the only
pair he owns needing repairs, Noat
stands him inside an empty barrel
while be removes the necessary gar
ment, mends them, quickly restores
them to the lad, and then lifts hin
out of the barrel in good order
Dramatic interest Is sustained by
the scheming villain TO defraud
Noah out OF the big profits OF his
Invention, and the consequent in
dignities and suffering he is com
PEELED to endure, but in the end ht
circumvents the plotters, who arr
exposed, aud Noah comes into bis
rights.
The play is replete with terse
dialogue and witty observations and
a thoroughly enjoyable presentation
by capable company is assured.

Afternoon Next, January
18th.

Friday afternoon next, at 2 o'clock
is the date upon which will occur
the exercises arranged for the dedi-
cation OF the new L'Anse High

marked degree of satisfaction on the
part of those who have had the

the assembly hall of the new build
ing. and it is expected that large
number OF people will be present.
F. A. Jeffers, OF Atlantic, Hough-
ton county, superintendent of the
Adams township schools, has been
engaged to deliver the address.
Mr.. Jeffers is recognized as one of the
ablesr speakers on educational sub
jects in the upper peninsula and his
engagement for this occasion should
be recognized as a rare treat. The
subject of Mr.. Jeffers address has
not as yet been given out, but the
theme will undoubtedly be along the
line of education and may be banked
upon as being interesting and
scholarly.
Preceding the exercises and
at the conclusion also, the public
will be given an opportunity to visit
the various parts of the building.
The new building is one OF which
L'Anse should be justly proud, a de-
tailed description OF which will be

II our worthy friend, Observer,
will excuse few remarks, we will
give brief synopsis of the changes
taken place around and about this
section within the last few years.
The famous trucx farm known as
"Susquehanna" but few years ago.
a perfect wilderness OF peach trees,
is now a broad open plain with
scarcely a single vestige of that i'm
mense plant to be seen. The merry
songs OF its thousand employees are
heard no more-its beautiful broad
bosum again barred to the sunlight
and its fertile acres now clothed in
the CARDS of green. IL is now in
charge Of Mr.. p. BENZ. Ford, our
worthy young lawyer. Mr.. Stoney
Biscoe who is chief tenant, now oc-
cupies the old mansion. Mr.. B. is
wide-a wake farmer. has well exc
cuted his part aud it's now up to
mother nature to do the balance.
Yes, little readers of whom we are
eyer mindful we have seen the
growth and the beauty of this once
massive. Eden and me have seen it
disappear. 1t reminds US OF the
rise and fall of great empires and
rising generations that passeth
away.
There are also many other changes
or rather improvements in this Sec
ton in the way of new buildings,
wire fences sc.
Mr.. &. Quirk, by the way, has in
course of construction a new barn
which when finished will add much
to the appearance aud value OF his
place. The place is now occupied
by Mr.. c. A. Brady who has trans
formed himself into a first class
mechanic Mr.. Alfred Dyson, as
sistant, also deserves mention.
Well, Br'er, oh, we will say no
more now, but, il you wAut any

Death.
DR.. Bosley, Health Commissioner
of Baltimore city. has commenced
his crusade against the mosquito
pest under the ordinance that Mr..
"StOvey" Brown had passed by the
City Council. Speaking upon this
subject Mr.. Brown said:
Il think it is important at this
time TO repeat for the benefit OF those
who have not given attention 10 the
subject Of mosquito destruction the
main facts which, if appreciated by
the people, should result in their
hearty cooperation in this move
ment.
The mosquito can breed only iu
standing water. The female LAYS
her eggs in standing water because
that is the only place they will hatch.
The eggs float on the water, an d
after a few days hatch out little
wrigglers, which, swim in the wa
ters, but must come to the surface
to breathe. After living for q week
or ten days the wriggler, floating
near the surface in a slightly chang
ed form, breaks open and a mos
quito flies out.
The whole process from the time
the eggs are laid to the time the
mosquito comes out lasts from ten
days to two weeks. according to the
weather. So that if the standing
water is kept covered With coal oil
bv an application made every two
weeks, the young are all destroy d
and no mosquitoes produced. This
peculiar life history is what makes
mosquito determination possible il
