M. Hills Bought by His Daughter.
The equity in the residence Of the
late DR.. T. Morton Hills on North
street was sold Thursday morning by
Rev, Alfred Free of Northampton, adj
ministrator Of the estate, to DR.. Laura
Heath Hills.
There was no one else present at the
sale with a view Of securing the equity
in the property. 1t was considered
that the same was of seant value be-
cause Of heavy mortgage on the
property.
DR.. L. H. Hills stated that she was
going to live in the house and have
her Office there. Beyond that she had
no definite plans relating to the build
ing, which was constructed for a pri-
vate hospital and residence.
The legal papers in the transaction
were filed at the office of the town
clerk Thursday afternoon, DR.. Hills
paying one collar for the equity. She
then redeemed the mortgage, paying
the money over to Frank P. Fenton
trustee of the Della E. Dalrymple
estate, that held the mortgage. Dr.

The Glidden Tour therefore is of great
interest to all Michigan this year. And
1t will be gala day in Detroit when
the starting gun is fired and the big
caravan starts from Campus Martius,
a picture of which is shown above,
on it's long run across the western
plains and deserts.
Conspicuous among those who was
very active in securing Detroit as the
starting point Of the tour is William
Orr, president of the Detroit Saturday
Night company and member of the
finance committee of the Detroit Auto

hoped that these same roads will be
in much better condition in July than
they were in April, when the Glidden

country where the need for good roads
is great, as shown by the recent trip
of the EMF $50" pathfinding car
which mapped it out.
Starting at Detroit, on July 18th, the
caravan, which, it is expected, will
comprise not less than 100 automobiles
and 500 persons, will go by the way of
Chicago to Minneapolis, to Omaha,
thence to Denver and return to Kan

entire tour covers distance of 1887

touch them during this time. From
the beginning to the end of the tour
the cars cannot even be washed, and
oil and gasoline can be replenished
only under the vigilant eye of the
observer. At the finish Of the tour,
In Kansas City, all contesting cars are
turned over to corps of engineers

and careful examination of every
working part of each car is made, and
penalization charged against any work

Beacon Fires In China.

In China such beacon fires as spread
the alarm Of the Spanish armada
through England used to be the call
to war. Many years ago, the story
goes. the emperor sat with beautiful
woman looking toward the beacon
hills. She would like to see those wait
ing piles lighted, and upon her insist
ence the thing was done. The greatest
excitement prevailed throughout the
provinces, and troops came hurrying
I'm from all sides. When the leaders
learned that no danger menaced, that
the fires were lighted to satisfy the
within of woman, their wrath fed on
their lost confidence, and with the ac-
tual call to arms the response was slow
and unenthusiastic. 1t was a repetition
Of the old story in Webster's spelling
book. "Wolf" had been cried too often.

A Curious Custom at the Courts Of
East Indian Princes.

A Curious Custom at the Courts of
East Indian Princes.
There is a curious custom at the
British officer or physician calls
upon rajah he is shown into the re-
ception or throne room, where sits the
rajah, surrounded by the great state
officers. After the exchange of the
usual salutations one of the officers
brings in tray on which are display
ed jewels and golden ornaments stud
ded with valuable stones, perhaps
worth 100000 or more. The trayful OF
valuables Is supposed to be a present
from the rajah to his visitor, and it is
offered first to the gentleman, who, in
Ginning his head, touches the edge of
the tray with the tips of his fingers.
and it is then passed over to the lady.
who invariably accompanies the Brit
ish officer, if he is married, on such oc-
casions. She follows the example O.
her husband, and the tray and its con-
tents are then returned to the jewel
room. In lieu of the unaccepted jewels
q long necklace of tinsel, of little value,
is placed around the neck of each.
where it remains during their stay
within the palace. There is a very
strict law against any British officer
accepting gift from native prince.
Even when doctor may have per-
formed some serious operation upon
rajah, who, being grateful, wishes to
give-exclusive Of a money fee, vary
ing from 600 to $1,000, according to
the operation performed-a present of
a shawl, golden cup or some similar
valuable. the doctor must obtain spe-
cial permission from the viceroy before
he dare accept the present. If any
officer accepts q gift of any value with
out such permission he may have to
resign. This rule was made because in
the old days, when the East India COM
pany governed India, an officers pick
ings and the presents often extorted
from the rajahs were worth much
more to him than his salary.-London
