were engaged to open it. The last
letter of that mornings mail was open
ed Friday noon. three and one-half
days after It's receipt.
So many requests for an extension
of time to make transfers were re-
ceived from officers of local Hives
whose work was stopped on account of
the small pox quarantine, that the
Great Commander and Great Executive
Committee have extended the time for
transfers until January 31st. This is
positively the last day. they say. Their
reports show the order in good condi-
tion.

BENEFIT FOR M. A. MAYER.
Prominent Actors and Actresses Re-
vive Old Melodrama.

New York, Jan. ia remarkable
aggregation of actors and actresses
appeared I'm a revival of the blood
nd-thunder melodrama, "The Queen
of the Highbinders," on the stage OF
the New Amsterdam Theater this af-
ternoon. The performance was one OF
the principal features of the monster
testimonial arranged for the benefit of
Marcus A. Mayer, the old-time thea
trical manager. Among the well
known players who gave their services
were Amelia Binghamf Biiou Fernan-
Cez. William Collier, Walter Jones,
Power and Charles Cherry.
Marcus 4. Mayer, the beneficiary OF
the performance, is now an old man,
,but in his prime he probably was the
foremost manager i'm the profession.
Certain il Is that no other manager
ever guided the destinies of so many
great stars of the stage. Mr. Mayor
began his career as manager for the
celebrated Julia Dean Hayne and the
Younger Kean. after which he sue
cessively directed the tours of the
world renowned celebrities, Edwin
Booth. Lawrence Barrett Edwin
Adams. Adelaide Nelson, Rose Ey-
tinge, Jane Hading, Charlotte Cush-
man, Sarah Bernhardt, Sir Henry Irv-
ing. NJ. Co1uelin. Monet-Sully, Mary

Hnusa Opposed to Junkets.
Fletcher Safe Until July I.

lansing. Mich. Jan. 13.-Since the
senate has confirmed the Warner ap-
pointees the hands of Gov Osborn, so
far as these appointments are con-
cerned. are securely tied until after the
legislature adjourns. Then If there are
any grounds upon which he can pre-
fer charges some action may be taken.
The governor, however, has given no
intimation as TO his action in the flu
ture. II is not thought that Fletcher
can be disturbed before the expiration
of his term on July l.
State Senator w. Frank James of
Hancock voted for all the Osborn nom
nations with exception of Perry f.
Powers. He supported Fletcher for la
bor commissioner against Powers.
Primary School Money.
Rep. Thomas H. McNaughton of
Kent county has introduced a bill in
the house which it is believed will
solve the great question of more just
distribution of the primary school
money. Some school districts have
enough money on hand TO keep them
running for % years IL they never
receive another penny But under the
present arrangement these same dis
tricts are receiving more money every
year and all the while the pile is
growing, while In counties like Wayne,
Kent. Saginaw. Kalamazoo and one or
two others not enough is received to
make IL much of an object.
Various means have been under dis
cussion relative to this matter. Mr..
McNaughton's scheme provides that
In any district which on July 1 finds
it has q sufficient sum to pay the sal
aries OF the teachers on the basis OF
the year last past for two years in ad-
vance shall not be counted when the
apportionment OF primary money is
made. That is the children of school
age are not to be counted and as the
money is distributed on a per capita
basis naturally the district would not
share Thus the other larger districts
would get an additional portion of the
money.
Cut Out Party Enrolment.
Rep. Oppenborn of Alpena has in
troduced one of the most drastic
amendments to the primary law imag-
Unable. Mr.. Oppenborn goes to the ex-
tent of cutting out the enrolment fea-
ture of the primary entirely.
Mr.. Oppenborn therefore plans to
do away with the enrolment entirely.
His scheme is to give each man as
he enters the polling place all the
tickets of all parties. These 'e would
have perforated between the parties
so that n whole party tickC. may be
detached from the big ballot. The
voter will be allowed to cast but one
ballot, thus an elector cannot vote the
ticket of the opposite party and there
viii be no trouble over enrolment.
Also Mr.. Oppenborn provides in his
bill for the nomination by primary of
all state and county officers. Even the
judicial department is included and
there will be no convention at all ex-
cept for the purpose of naming dele
gates to the national conventions.
This bill also provides for women &c
vote in the primary for school Off
GERS and such as they are now entitled
to vote for.
