LAYING OF M. F. C. CORNER

-Thecorner stone of the Millersbure
Female College was laid Friday after

This was the greatest historic occa-

as a bright chapter in the history OF
our little town.

Philadelphia Celebrates.

From out the historic old belfry OF
independence hall, in Philadelphia,
where once the liberty of a new
born nation was proclaimed, there
came Sunday the peals OF bell to
signal the opening OF the most unique
and significant civic celebration the
country has ever Witnessed. Bells and
chimes in all of the city churches
joined in the bronze tongued chorus,
and Philadelphia was aroused at dawn
TO realization of the advent of
Founders week. the 225th anniversary
OF the founding of the city by Will
lam Penn.
Profound services OF praise and
thanksgiving held i'm the churches
Sunday are being followed daily by q
series of great pageants which eclipse
anything of the kind heretofore at
tempted. Not since the famous cen
tennial celebration of 1876 have the
citizens Of Philadelphia been aroused
TO such pitch OF enthusiasm. The
history Of the city, too, is so closely
allied with the history of te Ameri
can people as TO give national scope
10 the commemorative features Of the
celebration.

Saginaw, Mich, Oct. "A pro-
tracted discussion of the party
platform in the resolutions committee,
as a result OF the introduction OF some
planks held by the party leaders TO
be too radical and the assertion after

one section differed as read to the del
egates from the form in which the
committee framed it. furnished the
feature of the state Democratic con-
vention here Thursday. There were
but two contests in the selection of
the state ticket, and in each case they
were settled on the first ballot.
The platform is devoted almost en-
tirely. TO state issues. Governor War

FRANK GRIMES SHOCKED.
Electric Wire and Pin Puts His
Hand Cut of Commission.

Frank E. Grimes had an exper-
fence with an electric light wire and
a pin at his home last night which
will keep a number of his fingers in
bandages for awhile and serve as a
reminder that there are some things
which he cannot stick pins in with
impunity He attempted to move a
hand electric light from one part of
the room to another and for the pur-
pose of getting the electric cord out
of the way attempted to pin it to the
wall.
The pin formed the needed connec-
ton. There was a flash and fire flew
in all directions as the copper wire
burned and Mr. Grimes was thrown
across the room and alighted on the
bed. soft spot as usual. AS the re-
suit stands at the present time Mr..
Grimes has two hands full of burned
fingers and a system filled with cleo
tricity and a well defined idea about
letting electricians do the wire NOV
ing about the Grimes house in the
future.
