and visitors numerous.
The hats are decidedly chic this sea

lowell, any size at all. Many colors
are worn but plenty of hats are shown
in black and black and white. Fancy
braids and straws are prevalent, with
the usual trimmings Of ribbons, silks,
quilts, aigrettes etc.
Each one of the millinery hops has a
most complete line of the latest modes

hour or so in examining and trying on

DETROIT TOKALAMAZOO
Fast Through Interurban Service
Will Beoin April 4th.

AS a result OF traffic arrangements
between the Detroit United lines and
the Michigan United Ry., one of the
most important steps in electric railway
transportation in Michigan will be
taken April 4th when through limit
ed service will be placed in operation
between Detroit and Kalamazoo.
The possibility of enlarging the
sphere of interurban service for the
benefit of the travelling public has been
under consideration by these two great
interurban systems for several months
and, while the favorable decision was
reached some time ago by Officials of
both companies, the details have only
just been completed. The lines of the
Nj. L. II. are chiefly operated on the
third rail system and among the details
to be worked out vas the equipment of
the interurban cars of the Detroit
United so that they would operate over
the M. L. II. tracks. This has all been
accomplished and the schedule has been
agreed to by the operating departments
of the respective companies.
Under the new arrangements there
will be limited service leaving Detroit
at 6:l0 A. M. and every two hours to
4:l0 u. M. for Kalamazoo, and leaving
Kalamazoo at 6:45 A. Nj. and every two
hours to 4:45 +. Nj. for Detroit. All
these cars will make the usual limited
stops of both lines and include such
important centers as Ypsilanti, Ann
Arbor, Jackson and Battle Creek.
No less important is the fact that
among the additions to the service will
be through limited car between De
troit and Lansing-the Capital Limited
that will leave Lansing at & A. NJ, for
Detroit via Jackson, and will leave De-
trot at 6:10 =. M. for Lansing via
Jackson.
The running time between Detroit
and Kalamazoo will be five hours and
minutes and between Detroit and
Lansing three hours and 30 minutes
This in itself will prove a highly at.
tractive feature for business men, and
the further fact that the hearts of all
cities are traversed will greatly add to
the beauties Of the journey for pleasure
seekers.
All these limited runs will be made
without change of cars and the schedule
is SO arranged as to conform with the
limited schedules of the other Detroit
United Lines. Under the new schedule
passengers from Toledo, Saginaw, Flint
and Port Huron will travel all the way
by electric cars with only short wait
at Detroit.

Last Cash Prizes

The money given away last week
was awarded to the same ones as be-
fore-Rose Clark and Lizzie Roadway.
On Saturday, April Sth, we will give
two more cash prizes which will be the
last during our contest The one who
brings in the most new subscribers up
to five o'clock that afternoon will re-
ceive two dollars in cash. The one
bringing in the next largest number
will receive one dollar. Now let every
one hustle. We would like to see some
of the other contestants win these prizes
but the only way to do it is to get a
move on. There is an easy chance to
win.
Get after the piano-it's worth $3.50.
If you can't use it you can sell it. Just
think! The work you do the last week
might win that. Guess that would be
pretty good pay, wouldn't it? More
than you could make milking cows or
even running newspaper. Each con-
testant should go to five of their friends
and ask them to hustle the balance of
the time-and then you must hustle
yourself That will be a good example
for your friends. n zone has the prizes
won yet, and the chances are they will
be won by the work done the last two
weeks. Keep peggin'.
The count on Wednesday, April ~,
will be the last one published in the
paper till the close of the contest. On
that evening the ballot box will be
locked and sealed. We will appoint a
committee of three business men of
Yale to make the last count The keys
to the box will be given to these gen.
tlemen. Each of the contestants must
then vote all of their reserve certificates
On Thursday, April 20, at 300 o'clock
p. m, the box will be opened by the
committee, which will count the votes
and award the prizes. The contestant
having the most points will be awarded
a $4,000 Sterling piano; the second a
lady's fine gold watch, valued at $50;
the third $l5 Eastman Kodak and
the fourth a so music cabinet or a
rocker Of the same value.

when the contest would close, and you
know how long you will have to work.

Resolutions Adopted Unanimously by Mass

CD Whereas, the so-called Fifteenth
Amendment to the Constitution of the United
States was not proposed to the States by two
thirds of each house of Congress, and was not
ratified by three fourths of the States, the
same as no part of the law of this land; and
Whereas, we believe it to be to the best in
terests of both races that the ballot be re-
stricted to the whites.
Resolved, that we hereby petition the Leg
islature of this State to enact statute limit
ing the political privilege of voting, to white
male adults who have paid the taxes required
by law.
(2) Whereas the last Democratic Conven-
ton of this State abolished the County unit
system, which had been in satisfactory use for
more than thirty years, in defiance Of the will
of the people, as expressed at the polls in
1908; and
