ENGLAND GETTING
THE mo DRINK" HABIT
Movement Started Eight Years
Ago Shows Gain

LONDON, Dec. 17.-The NO drink
between meals movement, started
nearly eight years ago, continues to
grow.
Figures showing the remarkable
progress made by semi-teetotalism in
England were read at a drawing room
meeting recently of the Semi-Teetotaf
pledge association. the aim of which
is to prevent drinking except at lunch
con and dinner. In 1908 the member
ship of the association reached 200. 900.
This figure, 1t was stated by the secre-
tary. Wakefield Blenkhorn, had now in
creased to 350.000 $4,000 of whom had
been enrolled In the year ended March
81, 1910.
..One of the most remarkable features
about the movement" Blenkhorn added.

SCIENTIST BELIEVES HE
FOUND MOUNT SINAI
DIR. AIois MusiI Has Explored
Northern Arabia

VIENNA, Dec. 17.-Dr. Alois Musil.
who. with a scientific party, left Vienna
in April to explore northern Arabia,
has made a thorough examination of
the little known area from Maan
southwark to FL Cav and the Red sea.
and eastward to Teima and the Wadi
Sishim. Besides the collections he has
made, he has gathered much linguistic,
chronological and geological material.
Doctor Musil believes he has identi-
fed the famous biblical Mount Sinai.
regarding the precise situation of which
a great controversy has been raging for
some time. Eminent geographers, not
ably Sir Richard Burton, maintain that
it is futile to try to discover the exact
spot, as all attempts at identification
are necessarily vain.
It is maintained, however, that 1t is
in the Sinai peninsula in the vicinity of
Elath, which is the region explored by
Professor Musil, who is confident that
he has located the mountain.

BONI WANTS TO BE
FREE TO REMARRY
Count Unsatisfied With AnnuI=
ment of His Marriage

ROME, Dec. 17.-For weeks reports
have been circulating of request of
annulment of the religious marriage of
Count Boni de Castellane and Miss
Anna Gould. now duchess de Talley-
rand. followed by denials and alleged
confirmations.
The truth is that. so far the Holy
Tribunal of the Rota, before which
such a case would be tried, has nothing
officially. However. according to in
formation which has reached here the
desire to ask the annulment exists, but
not on the part of the present duchess
of Talleyrand It is Count Boni de
Castellane who wishes to take this step
in order to be free. both legally and
religiously, to contract a fresh
marriage.
It is also said that he would base his
request of annulment on the assertion
that his former wife, just before their
marriage, declared that she considered
the Catholic religious ceremony as not
binding on her at all.

FRANCE TO HAVE A
PORTABLE THEATER
Caravan Will Go "SIow, But
Sure" Says Director

PARIS, Dec. 17.-An up to date cara
van of strolling players will start it's
run through France in April, and, ac-
cording to the director, M. Gemier of
the Theater Antoine. will "go slow, but
sure and long" until November M
Gemier says that his reason for organ
izing this new theater is to make UP
for the exorbitant prices, the horrid
scenery, and bad accommodation in
Paris theaters.
The new kind of Thespian chariot
will consist of vans drawn by eight
road locomotives, and weighing so
tons. Everything will be carried by
road-properties, scenery, stage and
auditorium, even. The portable theater
is built on the principle of balloon
Sheds which may easily be taken to
pieces Though portable. it will be
complete and comfortable throughout
when set up, like a bricks nd-mortar
playhouse. 1t will seat 1900 spectators
at prices from 90 to 75 cents.
The theater will also carry it's own
lighting and heating machinery, it's
fire exiting gushing plant, consisting of
an electric rotary engine, and a tank
on wheels, which will be filled with
water before each performance. The
company will comprise 90 actors and
actresses and 40 carpenters and stage
hands.

At recent meeting of the Mems
Club of the First Methodist church at
Kalamazoo, Prof. T. Hickey of the
Western State Normal School, gave an
address on Local Option in Calhoun
county as see it," Prof Hickey had
been citizen of of Battle Creek until
very recently and the declarations in
his address as to the good results of 10.
Cal option in Calhoun county were has.
ed on his personal observation and his
direct knowledge of the facts. Local
option has been great thing for the
people of Calhoun county, PROF. Hickey
declared, "and it is quite probable that
it will carry again next spring" The
Punishment of saloons from Calhoun
county has been blessing to the peo-
pie of that county and has brought
about results that in every respect COM
mend that action. This fact is suffi-
Gent compensation for all the trouble
and expense the adoption of local op-
ton involved and it is further most
eloquent appeal in it's behalf to the vot-
ers of that county and of the other coun-
ties that are soon to be called upon to
give serious consideration to the local
option question.

Gov, Elect Osborn viii Not Stand Fol
q Second Term.

Sault Ste. Marie, Dec. 7.-Governor
slect Chase s. Osborn today issued ,
formal statement declaring that hi
would not accept denomination fol
b second term, as follows:
AZ shall not be a candidate for COVER
nor for second term. Ills conclusion
has been reached after the considera
tion Of several reasons. During thu
primary contest and subsequent party
campaign frequently made the state
IN emit that was inspired to be candi
sasts more by desire to do my duty as
citizen than by mere ambition to be
governor. When made these declara-
lions ! was deeply in earnest. am still
in the same state of mind.
= I'm my opinion it Is desirable to
change the term of governorship from
two years to one term of four years
Should the legislature consider the
submission of an amendment to the
constitution to this end, do not wish
il to be hampered by the possibility of
sswo-year governor succeeding to a
iorr year term.
, "Too frequently first-term COVER.
nor feels obliged to consider and cater
TO popularity and popular measures in
order to insure q second term. This
often involves an excess of political ap-
continents, trading of patronage, coer-
cion Of legislators and other acts not
conducive to efficient government.
One Of the euil results Of this has been
she practical assumption of a legisla
live power by the executive that never
seems to have been contemplated by
cur state constitution.
49,. II wish to confess to desire to have
sny suggestions may make to the
legislature or any official acts I may
perform removed as far as possible
srom the slightest intimation that there
has been any consideration of future
pH sonal or political advantage. BY
making one term declaration at this
GIae I frankly hope to insure that
credit for sincerity which naturally at.
taches to disinterest. The Republican
party of Michigan is rich in guberna.
torisl material of the best character
and there can be no embarrassment to
sither state or party in my decision to
accept but one term.
1T may be fair to state that per-
sond work to which I had hoped to de-
vote my life was entirely interrupted by
my injection into state politics at this
slime. Ny one ambition is to serve the
state faithfully for one term and then
return to the pursuits of a private
tdtiven, in which capacity one should
easily be able to accomplish honor,
happiness and rational contentment.
