NATURALIZATION APPLICANTS.
Six Aliens are Already Posted for the
September Term.

Already six applicants for natural
ization have filed petitions for hearing
September IL, having failed to get in
before last Saturday, the last day for
entry for the May term OF circuit court
The May term will have 100 new appli-
cants and a large number who were
held over from the last term, so that
more than 200 will appear before
Judge Streeter in May and June. The
last eight to petition for the May term
were posted today. The list with the
usual information follows:
William j. Bloy, England, Laurium,
New York. 1859.
F. ]. Trombeth, Canada, Calumet,

William Ellis, England, Calumet,
Boston, 1904.

Ii can be seen that many Of these
are old residents. Mr.. Bloy has been
a resident of the United States for So
years without attaining citizenship.
But this was through no fault of his
own. He has been a voter for years,
the old law permitting him to vote on
his first papers, and he did not take
the trouble to secure full naturaliza-
ton. He is one of many recently
brought to the court by the British

return games 20 be played at Chicago

cath of this month. ten days after the
Chicagoans appear in Houghton. AS no
other teams are available for practice
games, the Portage Lakes are taking
turns at walloping the NJ c. NJ. and
the Houghton high school teams.
Manager Mcnamara of the Amphi-
drome hopes TO "cinch" the champion
ship by winning all four of the sched-
uled games. The Portage Lake lineup
will be the same as in former games,
but Chicago may strengthen by the adj
dition of a new man or two.
Interest in hockey will be revived
when the Chicago team comes. Chicago
has been playing hockey ever since
Portage Lake played there, and win
start another series tomorrow night at
the Ice Palace when the seven will
meet the All-Niagara team. The
Niagaras are Canadian septet and
the ability OF the Chicago team TO
stand the gan with Canadian sevens
will be thoroughly tested The Chica-
go Record Herald contains the follow
ing interesting article anent the Chi
cago teams ability, which somewhat
tallies with the claims Of Portage
Lake:
