and it is believed that a number of
the members of the Calumet branch OF
the order viii so TO Mohawk 10 take
part in the celebration there.
Good Friday is always looked upon
as a big day among the Engllshmen,
partly because of the fact that il is a
general holiday in England-as is
Monday following Easter sunday.
Members of the church of England
observe the day in a very solemn man
ner. attending church and taking part
in solemn services Then there is an
other element in England who look up !
on Good Friday as a day for recrea-
tion and amusement.
Locally. the day is observed as hol- /
iday by members of the Sons of St \
George Mohawk has made no definite
arrangements in connection with a
program for the days festivities. but
this will be taken up at a meeting to
be held in the near future. A speaker
will be secured, the Mohawk band like

arrange for concert and musical

MANY IDLE IN ENGLAND.

1t is reported from England that
10000 miners are idle in the Northum-
berland district, as consequence OF
dispute over the eight hour, day act,
which went into effect last Saturday.
IL is also stated that the few men
left at the collleries still in operation
viii quit. II Is expected that if mat
ters are not adjusted to the satlsfac-
ton of the workingmen, many of them
VIII come to this country within a
few months. In the event any con-
siderable number leaves England, it
is thought that a goodly percentage
of them will immigrate to the Lake
superior district, where many English
miners are now located.

does them damage by giving away
their plans in advance.
a circular letter also has been sent
out by President Lynch of the Ma

fix dates when their teams will have

Mr.. and Mrs. =. p. McKlnnie leave
this afternoon for about two weeks

first date will be at Iron Mountain.
Friday evening. They have another
engagement at LAnse and expect to
give other concerts before their return.
When they come back to the 500
again they VIII give q concert I'm this
city under the auspices of the Presby-
terrain choir and another In the Cana
dian 500. The exact dates for these
entertainments have not definitely been
decided upon, but IL is expected that
the event in the Presbyterian church
viii be either Thursday or Friday, the
evening of January 20 or q.
Mr.. and Mrs. McKinnie are charm
ing people on the platform, and the
great popularity they have gained in
this city is expected to make the pro-
posed entertainment favorite among
the music loving people of the 500.
These singers have splendid voices of
rare power and culture and they make
strong team. They have been heard
little as partnership entertainers
and enough to whet appreclative appe-
tites for more. The two concerts in
the Soos will probably finish their con-
cert work in this section. and then at
an early date they will leave for the
west They plan to give concerts all
the way from here to Nebraska. going
by way of Detroit, and from the stand
point of the musician II might be said
that they will take the "air" line.
