AFFECTS PosToFFlcg HOURS.
Change of Time on ST. Paul Road
Causes Mail to Close Later.

Houghton business people VINO do
not nowadays get their mail ready by
O'Clock will not be obliged to send 1t up
to the Copper Range depot to be put
in the open pouch upon the south
bound train OF that road but will be
able TO take II to the postoffice as late
as that and stlll get 1t into the mail
for Chicago, Milwaukee and other
points south and east This is prob
ably the most important effect of the
changing Of the time table of the Chi
cago. Milwaukee & st. Paul railroad.
The train which has formerly left
over the South Shore at 4:3O In the
afternoon now leaves at 4:45, which
permits OF the later closing of the
pouch at the postoffice. Also the train
over the St Paul and Seth Shore
from Chicago, which formerly arrived
at 11:45. now gets here at 1i:i5 and
because of this fact the Sunday hour
at the postoffice has been changed so
that the office is now open from IL IN.

CHICAGO TO HoUGHToN.
Village to he Terminus of Chicago &
Duluth Passenger Boats.

Agent Rurke of the Chicago a. Du-
luth Transportation company in
Houghton has announced that this viii
lage will this year be the northern
terminus of the line as far as passen-
ger traffic is concerned. the manage
ment of the line having decided not to
attempt to run their Chicago passenger
boats through to Duluth and Superior.
The reason for this action as given out
by the officers Of the company is that
their new boat. Pere Marquette 5, is
not sufficiently fast to make the trip
from Chicago TO the head of the lakes
and back in a week. The new boat
is splendidly equipped and will carry
passengers and freight between this
port and Chicago.
Next season. the lines officers an
nounce, they will have boat that is
fast enough to make the round trip i'm
a week but that this year they will
content themselves with running three
freighters over the long route, these
being the Chill, Alva and Gratwick,
each OF which is equipped with wire
less telegraph instruments.

MIGHT WORK WELL HERE.
Juvenile Judge Bentley Praises Action
Of Ohio Supreme Court.

Judge Bentley Of the juvenile court
for Houghton county was much pleased
to note the other day that the supreme
court Of Ohio had upheld the juvenile
court law Of that state. a law very
much the same as that Of the state Of
Michigan. on the charge Of contrib
uting 10 the delinquency Of his 17-year-
old daughter an Ohio man was sem
fenced by the Judge Of the Juvenile
court before whom he was arraigned
to serve a year in the house OF correc-
ton. His attorney appealed the case
claiming that the law was I'm contva-
vention OF the bill of rights. but the
highest tribunal OF the state decided
that the law was good and the man
must serve his sentence.
1T would be a splendid thing for the
state Of Michigan" said Judge Bent
ley. in speaking Of the case. III similar
punishment was melted out to some Of
the law-defying fathers Of this state.
In this state, however, such an offender
would not come before the Juvenile
court but would be heard before a JUS
tice OF the peace. A justice OF the
peace has the power under our law 90
pass such sentence upon a father for
such an ofense and II would be a good
thing for the children Of the state IL
this were done"

Odessa, May 23.-Every Hebrew
merchant and his family doing busin-
ass outside the pale i'm Russia must
cave the country before June II or be
Expelled. This edict has been pro-
nounced with the sanction of Car
Nicholas. and if resistance is met
With on the part of the Jews there will
in all probability follow another mas
sacre which will shock the entire civil
zed world.
The anti-Jewish sentiment In Rus

southern provinces bordering the Black
sea. The hotbed Of this sentiment is
Niev. sometimes spelled Kieff. The
city is situated on the Dnieper river
and is i'm one of the richest agricul-
-ural districts of Russia, commanding
large trade. 1t Is one of the oldest
cities in Europe.
The present trouble has arisen
through jealousy on the part of Rus
sian merchants over the success of
their Jewish competitors. In order to
'estrict the Jewish enterprise and pro-
tect Russian merchants certain dis
tricts were designated in which Jews
'ould conduct their business, but out
side of which no Jewish merchant
could engage along commercial lines
except through a special grant from
the czar. Now these special grants are
To be entirely withdrawn, which will
restrict the Jews to such districts as
lie within the pale.
In America Jewish bodies have or

WRECK OF tug SHOWS NEED
OF LIFE SAYING STATION
Circle Could Have Been Rescued
with Ease by Crew at Pro-
posed New Station
PUNCTURED BOAT is In PORT
TELEPHONE SOUTH -

The grounding 81 the United States
government tug Circle ON the western
shore of Keweenaw point near Eagle
Harbor last Monday afternoon and the
subsequent task OF rescuing her has
again brought TO the attention OF ma
rine men the much discussed question
of the establishment on the point of a
life saving station. Marine experts
declare that if there had been a life
saving station within striking distance
OF the scene of last Mondays acci-
dent. the crew from that station could
quickly have taken off the crew and
lightered the tug i'm time To have pre-
vented her being stove in by the rocks
In many respects the recent accident
was a fortunate affair for all OF the
men on the tug escaped. the tug being
inside the reef and the wind at that
time not having reached its maximum
velocity. If this had not been just as
II was il is probable the men would have
had a hard time To get ashore. As it
was they could not relieve the Circle
Of sufficient Of her burden to keep her
from being damaged on the rocks. 1t
is argued that If there had been a life
saving station erected near the scene
OF the trouble upon the site that was
purchased and surveyed for this pur-
pose some five years ago the crew could
have accomplished the rescue of the
tug handily.
Mo rfna Il a1rn Samaritan for
years advocated the establishment up
on Keweenaw point of life saving
station and finally a few years ago,
congress passed the appropriation and
purchased a tract of land on the west
ern shore of the peninsula not far from
the scene of the grounding of the Cir
Gle. The land was surveyed and all
plans made for the erection of the life
saving station but no actual work has
ever been done. Inquiry made this
morning among men in marine bust
ness as to why the station had never
been constructed brought forth but one
reply and this can be tritely put as
Washington red tape"
After working hard for four days

succeeded in bringing the Circle into
this port and she is now at the Croze
where she viii undergo re-
pairs.
The tug Sheldon returned to Hough
ton Friday and reported that they had
succeeded in getting the Circle into
the harbor at Eagle Harbor but that
they could not patch her from the i'm
side. She returned at once with div
ing suit and equipment and Paul Lidt-
Ike of Capt McCormick's crew went
under the boat, and, after an hours
work had placed a patch over the
in the boats bottom that per-
mitted her to be pumped out and rails
ed. She came into the canal under her
own steam but the Sheldon acted as
consort and stayed with her until the
Croze docks were reached.

ocToRARA TO HAVE CROWD.
Tickets are Goinn Fast for Detroit
Wholesalers Trip.

Reservations on the Octorara for the
excursion OF the Wholesalers & Manu-
facturers' association to the upper pc
ninsula are going fast, and when the
steamer sails from Detroit on May 26
she will carry her full complement OF
$50 passengers, says the Detroit Jour-
nal. Elaborate preparations are being
made by the association for entertain
ment on the steamer and the mer-
chant OF the upper peninsula are pre-
pairing to give the excursionists the
time of their lives while the party is
in the various cities of the upper
country. A full day will be spent at
the 500 and another at Marquette,
with side trips to Ishpeming and Ne
gaunee. Two days will be spent in
the copper country, the steamer lying
at Houghton while the party visits
Hancock and Calumet. including a Wis
it to the famous Calumet and Hecla
mine and the giant smelling plant at
Lake Linden, the greatest in the world.
While much is made of the social
side of the trip, the real purpose of
the excursion Is to bring the merchants
of the upper peninsula into relations
with the Detroit manufacturers and
wholesalers in a way that will result
In closer trade between the metropolis
and the buyers OF the most distant
portion OF the state. While Detroit
wholesalers sell some goods north OF
the straits. the bulk of the trade goes
to the wholesale houses of Chicago and
Milwaukee. The local men feel that
Detroit should have this trade. and
the excursion to the north country is
the first step in an earnest campaign
to secure 1t.
