A Philippine VILLAGE.
One Of the Dig Attractions for West
Michigan State Fair Week.

In line with its policy to offer to
its patrons only the best attractions
that can be secured, the West Mich
igan State Fair has secured Philip
pine village to exhibit on the fair
grounds in Grand Rapids, Sept. 14-1S.
All the characteristics and habits OF
the crafty little brown men of our
newest territorial possession may be
studied at close range, the settings OF
the village being reproduced with the
utmost fidelity. The rites and cere-
monies, the constant dancing and
feasting of the natives of the far-away
islands will be shown throughout the
entire day. as will their native indus
tries and primitive customs. The huts
in which they seek shelter are of ma
tive Philippine material, imported es-
pecially for the purpose from the Isle
Of Luzon.
The variety and quality OF the at
fractions which charge admissions and
have been granted privileges within
the grounds is far above the average
usually seen at fairs. Among the
number are "Buckskin Ben" who was
seen there last year with his wild
West" show. The favor which this
attraction met with led the manage
ment to close the contract for the
temperance at the 1908 fair.
In addition there will be the merry
go-round, the Ferris wheel, and nov
elty-the latter consisting of an
"ocean wave" which is very much out
of the ordinary. This is mammoth
affair, said to weigh Is tons, and will
be transported direct to the fair
grounds from the great Forest Park
amusement park In Cleveland, Ohio,
where it has proved the biggest kind
of a hit all season.

CATTLE SHOW Will.
BE THE BEST EVER.
West Michigan State Fair Attracts
Great Exhibits by Increasing the
Number and Value Of Premiums
Breeders Associations Offer sp,-
cial Awards.

In the high standard of its past
cattle shows the West Michigan State
Fair, which is to be held in Grand
Rapids Sept. 14-1S, has established a
record which, under ordinary condi-
tions, it would be hard to beat.
But with the additional inducements
of largely increased premium list,
the total amount of which is $4,000,
of four cash awards in each division,
and the added special premiums of
the American Shorthorn Breeders as
ISOLATION, 1t is a reasonable assun.p-
ton that this years entries will show
as large an increase over those of
last year az 1907 showed over 1906.
The number of exhibits of cattle in
all classes in 1906 was 2S7 head; in
1907 1t was nearly 400 head.
The Importance of this cattle show
Is recognized by the Holstein-Freisian
Breeders association and by the
American Shorthorn Breeders asso.
citation. both of which offer special
cash premiums. The specials for
Shorthorns are offered this year for
the first time and amount to $500
This means that exhibitors Of Short
horn cattle at the West Michigan
State Fair will have opportunity to
carry away no less than $3.50 in cash
premiums. ~TD'''''sssSs''siG' -''~'~
The special dairy tests which have

sPELLMAN's PERFORMING BEARS.

One OF the greatest attractions for
the coming state fair, which will com.
mand no little attention, is the Spell
man bears, numbering seven, all
trained and IL charge cf Mrs. Frank
P. Spellman. 1t IS the most talked
of and interesting animal act in the
world. Mrs. Speliman thoroughly I'M
derstands her bevy of bears and has
them under perfect coLtrol at all
times. They Go al kinds of tricks and
stunts willingly. The New York Hip
pedrome is the biggest thoater in the
world. Mrs. Spellman's bears were on
the program in this great Hippedrome
several months. This act is absolute
ly free and will take place in front
of the grand stand every afternoon
and evening They have been taugnt
TO ride in an automobile and every
morning they will be taken down town
from the state fair grounds in a big
machine and will ride about the
streets Of Detroit. They seem to en-
JOY auto riding, as they lean back in
the car, paying little or no attention
to anyone they pass, unless some
mischievous boy attempts to bother
them, when they will reach out their
paws to protect themselves. This is
wonderful act, free to everybody
and should be seen to be appreciated

President UphoIds Command Of Hos

President Roosevelt's attitude on the
question of the command of hospital
ships In the navy, which resulted in
the resignation of Rear Admiral Will
lard H. Brownson, and incidentally
some caustic observations on that in
cident. and the controversies among
the naval officers and their adherents
as to details of naval construction and
methods of training were made known
when Secretary Metcalf gave to the
press the two letters from the presi-
dent addressed to him on the subject
In the first of these letters President
Roosevelt condemns in unmeasured
terms the act of Admiral Browpson,
declaring it to be unseemly and i'm
proper The question upon which Ad-
miral Brownson took issue with the
navy department, the president de.
clares, is one on which there can be
entirely legitimate difference of opin-
ion, but, he adds, There is no room
for difference of opinion as to the
gross improperly of the admiral's con-
duct In resigning sooner than carry
out the orders of his superior officers
In such a matter. The officers of the
navy must remember it is not merely
childish but in the highest degree rep
rehensible to permit enough personal
piQue, wounded vanity, or factional
feeling on behalf of some particular
bureau or organization to render them
disloyal to the interests OF the navy
and therefore of the country as
whole
Regarding the controversies in the
navy the president admits there al
ways were and always will be defects,
both in the construction of the ships
and organization of the department
and in the actual drill of the feet. 1t
is well, he says, that these defects be
pointed out, but it is also we'll that
they should be pointed out without ex-
aggerations or malicious untruthfnl-
ness He scathingly rebukes those
guilty OF exploiting them in grossly ex-
aggerated form in the fancied interest
OF an individual or clique of individu-
ais, or for the sake of supplying SEN
sational material to newspapers Be-
cause of such Misrepresentation and
exaggeratiOn the president has asked
Secretary Metcalf for a statement of
the exact facts connected with 1t, de-
string particularly the opinion of Ad-
miral Converse, formerly chief Of the
navigation bureau, who, because of his
high professional attachments and
standard OF conduct and duty, the
president considers peculiarly fitted to
give judgment.
