Z The fact that nearly 1000 nrst
cabin passengers left New York during
d recent week shows how high the
tide of ocean travel has risen this
summer. The companies were EVIL
Identity JUSTIFIED in their anticipation
OF a busy season. In fact. for several
weeks It has been impossible to get
berth on any ship, except where plans
were changed and accommodations re-
sold. The figures for the year since
January / reveal steady increase In
all classes Of travel over the CORE
spending period Of last year. Thus IN
west-bound ships the increase In hrst'
class passengers has been 2,S40, In
second-class. 20.715. and In steerage.
H2,677, while In east-bound ships the
nrst-class figures go up 1900, the sec
pnd-class $3.50, and the steerage 49,
1S0. Later In the season. OF course,
the balance will be restored by the
returning Americans In the first class
and by the larger number Of steerage
passengers bound for their native
lands. The record in every respect Is
remarkable as a demonstration Of the
fact that the sea Is no longer an ap-
preciable barrier to international In
kercourse.

Vermillion, the missing banker, is
about 40 years old, married and has
three children. His family is now
visiting in Cleveland.
Vermillion came to Mt. Pleasant
about three years ago in the interest
of Cleveland capitalists who hold the
bonds given by the Mt. Pleasant Beet
Sugar Co., which built a building and
failed a few years ago. He worked
for weeks in an effort to get control
OF the stock and move the Marine
City sugar factory machinery to Mt.
Pleasant, but failed
In the meantime he organized a
banking company for the purpose OF
conducting a private bank, and in

man, ]. Riley, farmer and ]. Doane,
a retired Gratiot county farmer. The
institution was termed the Farmers Il
Merchants bank. 1t never succeeded
in securing large business, though
a few business men and State Nor
nal school teachers patronized it with
their earnings.
1t has never been known how much
money was put into the business, but
Vermillion was the cashier and seemed
to have complete control OF all It's
affairs. How much money was de-
posted no one but Vermillion knows.
He came to Mt. Pleasant from
Cleveland and represented himself as
having been a banker of experience,
and claimed to have been at one time
bank examiner in Ohio. He was a
man of excellent address, was leader
in the Presbyterian church and super
intendent of the Sunday school, also a
Mason and a Shriner He always had
leisure for anything and money in
abundance and was lavish contribu-
tor to all things in which the church
or public were interested. For two
years he had charge of the Chautau-
qua course at Mt. Pleasant and gave
excellent satisfaction, the last one
being held the past July. His family
was esteemed highly as was Mr.. Yer
million, and they were counted among
the best people. He rented furnished
rooms. and consequently had nothing
to hold him.

Opportunlty Of Suffraaist.

Baroness Aletta Korff tells in one
of the magazines how the women Of
Finland came to vote. The fact Is
that women had to show that they
could meet an emergency before the
vote came to them. They have not
had many opportunities to take the
initiative In the worlds history and
they have not always responded when
the opportunity came, but when a
crisis, such as that in 1904 when the
strike and the revolutionary outbreak
in Russia took place at the same time,
occurred, they proved they could
make peace by doing it. Not until
England and the United States find
the women helping them to bear some
great trouble will they give them the
right to vote.

age Of So years. from Ills incident to

the end came.
Although not forced to take to his
bed, Mr.. Warner had been in feeble
health for several weeks and his
death ct this time was not entirely
unexpected. He never entirely recov-
cred from an illness In 1906.
During the past week when his con-

quire considerable attention, the gov.
ernor spent much time with his faith
er, coming almost daily from his sum-
mer home at Cass lake, near Pontiac.
+. Dean Warner was born in New
York state. and came to Michigan
with his parents when he was years
old. The trip from the east was made
by boat to Detroit, and thence over

The idea of securing fire protection
FOR factories by installing a sprinkling
system fed from tank of water on
the roof is essentially a good one;
but there should be periodical inspec-
tion of the tank. Many serious acct
dents to buildings lately have been
caused by the rusting out Of the sup
ports of tcnks, which fell and burst
Through the roof. The latest incident
of the kind occurred In New York the
other day at the West End theater.
The damage was chiefly by water,
5000 gallons of which dashed through
the building from roof to basement,
making havoc In many ways.

The large diamond found at the
Premier mine in South Africa is de-
soribed as weighing more than 191
carats. 1t is pure white, fiawless
stone, two inches long and about
three-quarters of an inch thick. Any
diamond weighing upward of 100
carats and free from flaw Is sure to
attract wide attention, because there
are not many. How much the weight
of the present find will be reduced by
cutting is not stated, but the estimate
Is made that It will be worth 100000,
its present value being about $4,000.
The koh-i-noor Is said to have weighed
794 carats In its original state; its
present weight is 1929 carats. The
largest section of the Culinan dia-
mond weighs 5161s carats; 1t is 2.322
inches long and 1871 inches broad.
