Soldiers, Home Ready.

The board of managers of the sol
diers' home have issued formal
statement in response to the resolu-
ton passed in the legislature provid-
ing for a committee to investigate the
expenditure of veterans money at the
home. The board explains that, en-
powered to make rules governing the
receiving Of inmates, 1t eXacted that
no old soldier receiving a pension ex-
ceeding $12 month should be re-
ceived, modifying this rule to read
that in case the veterans income from
the government exceeded $12 and it
was still shown that he needed the
care of the home, that all his pension
money in excess of $12 should be
turned into a distinct fund. From this
fund, the board says, it has drawn
money to use for the betterment of
the. home. The board invites the legis-
lative committee to come and have a
look.

A Reasonable Exu;anation.

Henry James is credited with the
remark that he never heard an Amer
lean woman say thank you We con-
lecture, says Chicago Tribune, that on
one or more occasions Mr.. James has
risen in a crowded car and offered a
seat to some woman who did not say
thank you" for the reason that she
recognized him by his printed lpor-
traits and knew she would not have
time to say: Sensible in high de-
gree, although it should be observed,
perhaps, that in the domain of the in
tellectual there should not be needed
the propulsive effect of a motive as a
stimulus TO the process of realization
in the abstract, apart from an implied
obligation willingly assumed, and not
wholly conventional, even though it
may be the result of unconscious Volt
ton, or, to express the thought in
terms less vague and elusive, and
frankly recognizing, in the background
OF consciousness, the simulacrum of
an anticipated quid pro quo-dismiss-
ing all this, / say, as shadowy and I'M
real, and subjecting the ponderabe
residuum to such analysis as we may,
with such crude materials as we have
at hand, for in the realm of the ina,
gination there will be found the cruel
BILE of the alchemist, quite as real and
substantial, albeit composed of sub
stances not existent on the material
plane" etc.

Now Comes Divorce.

VIM. f. Pack, former Michigan leg
islator and member of a Michigan
regiment in the war with Spain, see
ing service in Cuba and afterward 60
ing to the Philippines in the regular
service and becoming governor of the
province of Benguet, is defendant in
suit for divorce brought by his wife
in Centerville An attempt was made
to keep the case quiet, but it is learned
that the charges are cruelty. Pack
will not contest the case, as he is
now in Frisco on his way back to the
Philippines, after spending three
months at home recovering from a
serious illness.
Gov. Packs headquarters are at
Paguio, in the heart of the Igorrote
head hunters country. He expressed
high regard for the Igorrotes, say
ing that they are easily governed if
treated generously. They are prosper
Gus and contented with American rule
and many of them are rich farmers.

Lansing.-The house fixed June 10
and 29 as the dates for adjournment.
While there is more or less talk about
a special session that matter is really
remote one at this time. If the peo-
pie should adopt new constitution
special session would be imperative
in order to provide the necessary stat
utory enactments. Should the consti-
tuition be rejected, it would then be
up to the governor to decide whether
he possesses sufficient subject matter
to warrant the calling of special ses-
sion. Naturally the question of
amending the primary law is associat-
ed with the idea of a special session,
but that contingency will not arise un-
til next year and it is doubtful wheth-
er any different results could be arriv-
ed at.

insurance Companies Affected.

Insurance companies and those car
rying large fire risks in Michigan are
deeply interested in a decision of the
supreme court which prohibits the use
of the so-called reinsurance rider in
policies. The decision will necessi-
tate rewriting large number of poll
cies and compels companies to aban-
don the use of the rider Ever since
the enactment of the so-called anti
company co-insurance law of Michigan
in 1895, fire insurance companies have
been using in this state the following
percentage value clause: In consid-
GRAFTON of a reduced rate of premium
it is hereby agreed that, in case Of
loss this company will pay only such
proportion of the loss as the sum here
by insured bears to so per cent or 9TH
er agreed rate of the value of the
property insured, but in no case shall
this company be liable to a greater
proportion Of any loss than the
amount hereby insured shall bear to
the whole insurance whether valid or
not" The anti-co-insurance law pro-
lUdI TIC
erty owner be compelled to carry any
specified amount of insurance. The
above clause was considered val
id by successive commissioners of
insurance because it made no
such requirement, although by it's
terms the property owner agreed to
carry portion of the risk himself
The legality of this clause and ruling
was recently brought into question
and case made to secure deter
mination by the supreme court in the
case of the attorney geneal on the re-
lation of the Michigan LubricatOr
company VS.. the commission of insur-
ance. Commissioner Barry is prompt
ly notifying the companies operating
in Michigan of this decision and warn
ing them against the future use of the
clause above quoted, or any similar
clause, as well as against using such
clause as basis of settlement under
policies to which they have been at
tached previous to this date.

The average condition OF wheat Is
40, according to the June crop re-
poTt issued by the state department.
This is per cent lower than one
month ago, but it shows that the en-
tire crop will not be lost as was
feared. 1t is estimated that per cent
of the wheat sown last fall was win
ter killed, and that 4 per cent has
been destroyed by the Hessian fly.
The condition of rye is reported at
81 per cent, corn at GO, oats at 10,
meadows at 50 and potatoes at 2. The
acreage of potatoes is estimated at
81 per cent, sugar beets at SO per cent,
barley at sc per cent and corn at per
cent.
Early strawberries are hurt by frosts
and will be light crop and late; late
strawberries look good raspberries
and blackberries, not over one-fourth
of crop; sour cherries will be fair
crop near the lake; apparently no
sweet cherries; peaches, very light,
Injured by frost and San Jose scale;
plums, a light crop; early apples set
very full; late apples will be good
crop; pears will be fair crop where
trees were not frozen last October;
muskmelons will have probably re-
duced acreage.

a MIGHTY Conflict.


A mighty conflict has just begun in
San Francisco. 1t is a war between
capital and labor. Conditions resem-
bic those in the nation about the time
of the firing on Fort Sumter. A great
issue has been dallied with and tenn
porized with unAkthe battle has been
joined.
San Francisco is suffering from
over-capitalization lin every line. La
Dor has formed itself into a trust,
which is over-capitalized. The cost Of
rebuilding the fallen city has been al
together excessive. Material dealers
have been forced to lower prices with
in the last two days.
The next step is to squeeze the
water out of the stock of the labor
trust. There is no indication that la
Dor will yield peacefully. Even with
the strike of 10000 iron workers set
tied, there are now 5000 men on strike
in San Francisco. Indications are
there will be many thousands more
idle, with violence and bloodshed as
an incident, and that the progress of
the city will be stopped until this
great issue has been settled. Building
is practically at a standstill.

Doctor Suicides.

Edwin F. Kressler, formerly of
Scottville, Mich, hanged himself in
his room in Milwaukee after writing
the following letter to Senator S. NJ
Marsh, who is pushing a medical
registration bill in the legislatures:
May my untimely death be revenged
on those who drove me to it; have
been prosecuted by the attorney for
the state board of medical examiners,
robbed of my certificates of registra-
ton and not being financially able to
fight in the courts, nothing remains
for me but the clothesline.
II have practiced medicine honest
ly for nearly % years.
There has never been a complaint
against me for malpractice, but now
am deprived of my right to make
an honest living and being ashamed
to become a county charge l will do
away with my life"
Kressler's body has been sent to
Scottville.

A Fair Slice.

Attorney-General Bird expects, now
that the legislature has given him
full authority to do so, to begin suit
to rearrange the boundary line be-
tween Wisconsin and Michigan. AS
fixed back in the '30s, the boundary
is declared on the part of Michigan
to be incorrect through an error by
the engineer in charge, detailed by
the war department TO make the sur
vey. Because of the error, Wiscon-
sin now holds a few hundred square
miles said to rightfully belong to
Michigan.
If documentary information that has
come to the attorney-generals depart
ment is correct, then the attorney
general feels that Michigan has a
good case. 1t is probable that the
proceedings will be by suit in the
United States supreme court and that
preliminary to the trial of it the
state will have a survey made under
the instructions laid down for the orig.
inal survey.

"Call of the WiId.v

In "a wild and almost impregnable
swamp one and one-half miles south
of the village of Suttons Bay, Leela-
nau county, in the midst of thickly
populated section dotted with we'll
titled farms and only twelve miles
from a city of 10000 inhabitants, Jack
London's "Call of the Wild" has been
duplicated. In this case, however, the
dog is "a female, the mother of six pup
pies and all have reverted to type
How long ago this dog left the
haunts of man and took up her abode
in the wilds of the the swamp is hot
known, but it must have been over d
year. Four months ago she was no
ticed, and with her were seven pup
pies that were several months old.
Since then the pack has been frequent
ly seen, and on several occasions they
have given battle to men, and it was
only by strenuous efforts that they
escaped being torn to pieces by the
sharp teeth.

Ingenious But Not Inventive.
G. A. LIsK, Publisher.
MICHIGAN

Women have great ingenuity IN
adapting old contrivances to new ends,
but little power for inventions. The
patent office at Washington contains,
to be sure, many models from femi-
nine hands, some useful and some fam
tastic. For example, one woman who
wished to combine gardening and poul-
try-raising invented an anti-scratching
appliance for the feet of her hens; but
IL is TO be feared the condition of the
feathered flock suffered from lack OF
their customary relish of worms. Most
of the popular and effective convent
ences of personal and domestic life
have been made by men. A woman
can do more things with a hairpin
than man could ever accomplish. She
will pick lock, extract bean from
baby's ear or nose, run string into
curtain, hang a picture or button her
boots with the useful hairpin. But in
spite of the frantic demand for prac-
ticable pocket, she has not invented
one; and she still washes and wipes
by hand the family dinner dishes. A
woman's ability to make the best of
things as they are is distinct charac-
teristic of the sex, says Youths Com
panion. 1t would be sadly missed If it
were to be supplanted by even high
order of original inventiveness. For
this easy, rapid adaptation of made
quate means TO desired ends is applied
by woman not only to the machinery
of the household, but to the human
forces among which she lives. The in
genious wife adapts even clumsy
husband and an inexperienced cook to
the production of domestic harmony.

a Trusty ESCAPES.

Smith, the trusty who escaped from

caused the prison officials to lose
faith in "trusty" human nature. Haw-
ley has worked outside for some
years, and as he had but a short time
to serve, it was thought that he would
be found in some saloon and all were
searched, but nothing was found OF
Hawley. He made good his escape, APP
parently. He had about $3.50 to his
credit on the prison ledgers, and
draws pension of $40 month. Now
he will experience difficulty in giving
an address to which Uncle Sans dol.

LANG Tung Yen, the new Chinese

Liang Tung Yen, the new Chinese
minister to the United States, is a
pretty good business man, according
to the stories of some of his old class
mates at Yale. When he was in col
lege he was closely associated with a
set of young fellows, ten in all, who
had about the same allowance each
month, 500. All the checks came at
once, and after day or SO every mem
Der of the set was strapped" LANG
finally solved the difficulty. The
checks were all pooled and each 500
was to last the coterie three days.
For exactly three days one man had to
pay all the expenses of the ten.
Thereafter, every one was able to get
through the month without being ir
danger of starvation.

Talk of Special Session.

There is more or less talk con-
corning the possibility Of special
session, but Gov. Warner is not yet
prepared to say whether or not he
will call the legislature together again.
In any event the special session would
not be called until next year and a
great many things might happen be-
fore that time.
IL have been asked several times"
said the governor, whether l would
call special session if / deemed it
advisable and | have answered that
l would not hesitate to do so. There
are two or three things which l think
the legislature should do and if they
are left undone the question of con-
vening an extra session will be de-
cided. Under the present primary
law it costs $4,000 for each primary
election and we must have two, one in
June and the other in September. By
having one primary day the state
would save $4,000. A special session
would not cost to exceed $4,000 and
on that score it might be a good
thing
The boxers say that they are
willing to amend the law so as to
provide for one primary day, but
the administration does not want
that amendment unless several
others, which they deem necessary
can also be secured. The result is
that the situation is absolutely dead
locked.

Saved the Girl.

Because she had been punished in

daughter of "a Bay City saloonkeeper,
induced her little brother to run away
with her to spend the afternoon on

nearby, cast his heavily weighted line
at the spot where the lad said his
sister had gone down. The next mo-
ment Colby had the unconscious child
within reach, having caught her dress
with the first cast.
