JOINT CELEBRATION PROPOSED.
Project of Portage Lake and Calumet
Uniting to Honor Robert Burns.

A meeting will be called soon by
Alex. Stevenson, chairman of the
Portage Lake Scotchmen who have
been active in promoting the obser-
vance Of the anniversary of the
birthday of Robert Burns. to discuss
the matter of holding a banquet as
usual on January 25. 1t is the in
itention IL possible to arrange this year
for a county celebration in which the
Scotchmen OF Calumet and other parts
Of the county will unite with those
OF Hancock and Houghton in honor
ing the great poets birthday, and
making the occasion one of greater
magnitude and importance than those
held here in the past. At the last
banquet held a year ago at the Scott
Hotel, there were number of well
known Calumet gentlemen of Scotch
descent among the speakers. but 1t is
the idea at present to interest all the
Scotchmen of the county in the ban
quet and assure a gathering that will
be the biggest that has yet assembl-
ed on a similar occasion.

LETTER CARRIERS BURDENS.
Mail Distributors Laden Like Pack
Horses With Christmas Paokaoes

rms Is the season of the year when
no one envies the mail carriers. those
gray uniformed servants of Uncle Sam
upon whom devolves the burden Of
distribution of the hundreds of gifts
sent broadcast through the mails.
The packs OF the letter carriers are
piled high with boxes and bundles
and letters and packages of all sorts
and sizes, making a load big enough
to make two good sized burdens each
as heavy as the usual daily amount
received ordinarily during normal
times. But the letter carriers are not
complaining and are making their
rounds as rapidly as circumstances
will permit and as promptly as the be-
lated trains will allow. During the
next two days the bulk of the mail
matter received here will be still
greater increased and it may be neces-
sary to give each of the carriers an
assistant. II has been the practice
of some of the carriers on Christmas
day or the day after to use a sled
on which the surplus packages are
piled.
Postmaster Rogers has announced
that the postoffice will be open for the
distribution of mail on Christmas day
from 10 to IL o'clock tomorrow morn
ing and from / to in the afternoon.
The extra morning hours are added
in order to accommodate patrons de-
string to get Christmas mail out of the
office in the morning. The afternoon
hours are the regular holiday hours
and the same will be observed on Sun
day.

ALL READY FOR CHRISTMAS.
Final Rush Of Holiday Shoppers is
Very Large Today.

There Is big rush of holiday shop
pers today, making their final purchas-
es before the arrival of Christmas day
Tonight a larger rush is anticipated
and the stores will be kept open until
late hour. Many residents are leav-
Ing for other places to spend the holi-
days, but most OF the people OF the city
will observe the day at their own
homes, with the usual Christmas din
ners and the giving and receiving OF
gifts.
The church services will be of an in
teresting and unusually elaborate ma
ture, and the various charitable socie-
ties and committees connected with
the churches will see that no one is
overlooked, IL possible to avoid II, in
the distribution OF good things that
have been provided for the poor. The
Congregational Sunday school COM
mittee has distributed a great many
Christmas dinners. including fowl be-
sides, fruit, and other things that go
to make up a Christmas feast. The
Methodist people have also donated
baskets of food, and other articles for
the needy. which are being distributed
today among families whose inability
to provide Christmas cheer has been
reported to the pastor Rev. w Il. Mar
win, and regarding whom inquiry has
been made. Other churches and socie-
ties have also interested themselves in
NIL Ill
tributions that have been made will
this year be unusually large, rejecting
the prosperity that has been enjoyed
generally during the year by the peo-
pie OF Hancock. The stores of the city
will be closed all day, with the excep-
/ ton of the drug stores. where the usual
holiday hours will be observed. closing
at 1 o'clock and remaining closed until

to spare should they tap the source
of the spring.
The scene of the excavations is the
spring known as st. Mary's Well, from
a legend OF the Fourteenth century
that the Virgin once washed the swad-
ding clothes of her Son there. 1t is
probably identical with the pool Gil

Numerous attempts were made to rem

the inhabitants. Probably one Of the
earliest is the channel connecting II
with the Pool OF Sloan, at the
mouth of which was found one of the

sess, now at Constantinople, which
describes how the work of excavation
was begun at both ends, and how, by
characterization, the two parties miss
ed the true point of junction.

The members of the Flora DeVoss
stock company played to a fair sized
audience at Lake Linden Wednesday
evening, and by special request the
same troupe will return for another
night Sunday evening. The company
is a good one and deserves liberal
patronage.
Sunday evening the play will be one
written by Miss DeVoss and entitled
Merely Mary Jane" a comedy drama
i'm four acts and one OF the best of
the repertoire played by her able com
pany. The scenery for this play was
painted especially for Miss DeVoss and
adds to the beauty Of the production.
The specialties carried in the COM
pany this year are superior to the
majority of those seen with companies
of this kind. Gilmore and Castle put
on an act here Wednesday evening
which was realistic and succeeded in
deceiving the greater number of the
audience. Their work is first-class in
every respect The work OF kinzo,
the Japanese juggler, is marvellous.

DIGGING NEAR JERUSALEM
An English Syndicate Making
Excavations.

Under the supervision of two Tur-

Duff, relative of the Duke of Fife;
Cyril Ward, Messrs. Wash, Foley and
others. Some mystery attends the aim
of the excavators. The popular beiet
is that they are searching for the

which some think are buried in TINS

main object is to provide Jerusalem

The syndicate is working on its own

Genealogical Institutes in Jerusalem.
Large sums Of money have already
been expended in obtaining a permit,
in purchasing land, and in carrying on

employed, and more than $4,000 is
spent weekly in salaries and wages.
