That she will come back is popular
hope Manager Orin Stair IF the
Majestic and Manager Fred Kimball OF
the Servoss company are already nego-
tiating a return engagement. There is
possibility of Miss Servoss coming back
for few weeks this fall and for a long
run in the spring.
II is a popular hope, too, that she will
bring back the greater share Of her pres
ent company. The players have en-
trenched themselves in the liking of
local audiences to such an extent that
they will be missed greatly. We have
lever had a stock company in which the
atmosphere both during performances
and behind the scenes has been so
pleasant and agreeable.
A stock company of this caliber is of
decided theatrical value in community.
1t is too bad that Grand Rapids cannot
keep the organization all the year
around. If it could it would be assured
of series of the best available plays
we'll presented. A stock company con-
Quoted along the lines followed by Miss
Servoss can be made means both of
presenting satisfying entertain ment and
of assisting in community's dramatic
education. But il we cannot have all
the year around stock, the visits of Miss
Servoss are the next best thing. For
them we are thankful and OF more of
them we are eXpectant.

THURSDAY EVENING.

The ball was started rolling last
Thursday evening when the pupils OF
the intermediate grades presented to
az overfowing and delighted audience
"The National Flower" an operetta 10
three acts. The daisies, the roses, the
lilies, the naughty weeds and even the
odorous onion we're all there, each to
claim its right as the nations one
flower The old oak tree, the sweet
clover and the downy thistle chanted it's
story of rightful claim as the Nations
favorite. Even dear old golden rod once
so dear co Uncle Sam, was made to
stand aside. Beauty was no longer con-
sidered as two little pages came laden
with -four, the product OF mans
skill, not natures, and acknowledged and
crowned the staff of life upon which
Uncle Sam must depend to feed his
many millions. The singing of Miss
Olive Loveland as judge was fine and
much enjoyed, as was the different solos
and choruses. Each student was a
credit to themselves and teacher.
The large aud enthusiastic audience
was more than pleased as was shown
by the hearty applause that greeted
each little singer.
Mrs. Beattie, Miss Chaffee and Miss
Gould, the teachers of these grades,
deserve much credit for the success of
the evening.

VERDICT OF JURY
FAVORS VILLAGE
No Cause of Action in
Case of w. j. ThmOas
Against Village

The case OF w. J. Thomas against
the village of Paw Paw was tried 10 the
circuit court this week ard resulted in a
verdict Of 20 cause Of action. Mr..
Thomas brought suit against the village
claiming damages TO the amount of
nearly $1,000 for overflowage, owing to
the dan ruing of Paw Paw river.
Mr.. Thomas gave to the village tract
of 1917 acres, in consideration of which
the village contracted to do certain
things among which was to construct
the dykes so that there should be 20
seepsge to the balance of his farm, and
that all stumps and other distractions
that protruaed above the water line
should be removed.
1t was claimed by Mr.. Thomas that
the dykes were not so constructed and
the stumps were not removed, and as a
conseq uence at least ten acres of the bal
ance of his farm was destroyed
AS Mr. Thomas was president Of the
village council at the time of making the
contract the opposing counsel argued
that be was thus barred from entering
into contract with the village.
Judge Des Voignes, after taking the
matter under advisement, decided thai
the contract was void, but that the case
should 60 to the jury and that Mr..
Thomas could collect for the 1871 acres
at whatever sum the Jury might place
upon it. The Jury, however, rendered a
verdict as stated above of no cause of
action.
On account of its influence on other
parties the decision was awaited with
interest by the residents Of Paw Paw.

Where It Is Always Afternoon
Fly c. F. MARKELL

Travellers who are familiar with the world unite in declaring that the most charming scenic beauty in water views is centred in the rival bays of Naples and Rio de Janeiro, and when Jean de Lery first visited the latter in 1857 he uncon- sciously exclaimed "Oh God how mar vellous are thy workslr
 I have visited both and the two are difficult of comparison. The mountains of the equatorial regions were never visited by icebergs and consequently their peaks and pinnacles were never worn off and rounded out like those of our northern attitudes, but stand up as spires pointing their slender, needle-like apices to the heavens. One of them, a spur of the Or gan mountains, is so slim and acute that it has been called the Finger of God (Dedo de Deus,) and l shall never forget my first view of these mountains so named from their resemblance to the pipes of a church organ. 1 thought them steeples of distant houses of worship or cathe- drals and it required some argument to convince me of my error.
 They not only surround and environ the bay of Rio de Janeiro, but rise up from depths as petrifed tree trunks of man. moth proportions, and as my steamer threaded it's way through the rocky ave nues of the bay seemed to be moving among a forest of stone. It is this pecu- liar feature that contrasts 1t with the bay of Naples and vies with it in scenic glory.

 When night fell and the pail of si- fence supplanted the mantle of smoke, fair Nctheroy lay prostrate before her ravishers, dismantled, devastated, demol- ished.
 I had a charming young lady acquaint. ance visiting Nictheroy at the time of it's destruction, native of Uruguay. and never knew If she survived, for I left Brazil prior to the termination of the rev ohtion and l never heard of her after ward.
 Rio de Janeiro has population of S0o,00o souls and though now greatly improved in sanitary conditions, it was during the time of my stay in the country so un- healthy that for only six weeks in the year could a foreigner reside within it's precincts All of the legations were at Petropols. situated high up on the Organ mountains, and here the wealthy Brazil ians resided in the winter months, which correspond to our summer.
 The deaths from yellow fever ran as high as POO day during the height of the season and through the entire year never numbered less than seven or eight daily The bodies were often placed In collins upon the rooves of the low houses, where they were gathered up at night by men in wagons in search of the cadavers. These men were too poor to buy oil and
  in a cornucopia of brown paper rendered translucent by an application of grease.
 The bodies of the poor are rarely buried in the collins, the caskets being hired for transportation to the grave only, when they are returned for similar use Quick lime is deposited with every corpse to insure the speedy consumption of the body
 The women are quite child-like, but they make. most affectionate wives. have seen married women playing with dolls and nearly all of them wear brace lets of gold or silver upon their ankles Their education is quite superficial, con sisting of training in music. fancy em- ! broidery and French. Tn some respect their condition approximates that of a slave If Brazilian invites a friend to dinner the repast is usually served at a hotel or cafe, and if one calls upon the head of house at his home, the wife, after a simple introduction. never enters into the conversation and rarely speaks unless addressed by her husband.

While the bay attains the width of some i IS miles it Is at it's mouth a little over a mile wide and it is here impregnably defended, for appreciating the advantage 1 of such a defense the Fortaleza of Santa Cruz was cut in the living rock as far
 back as 1696 and above it is the Forte do
 Pico whose only approach is through the | former fortress. On tho opposite of the entrance is the Fort Lage. built upon a submerged rock and Villegagnon, a
 quadrilateral structure protected by water
 batteries.
 l l happened to be representing my gov
 ernment in Brazil during the revolution
 and it was my good fortune to witness
 oil this bay one of the grandest sights | that it is accorded man to behold-a bonn bardment by an entire fleet, a short de-
 scrption of which I opine will not prove | tedious.
 Admiral de Mello. whom I knew well,
 was a member of the cabinet and had af- fected an intrigue with Admiral Wanden- l kalk, who was also senator. This Wan denkalk was a genius for while he had | just been in command of an insurgent ship in Rio Grande de Sul, he had de- signedly permitted h&nself and his vessel
 to be captured that he might gain access
 to the inside of the bay and be prepared
 to act when de Melo was ready. He also possessed a keen appreciation Of wit, for when he was immediately im-
 prisoned in Forte de Poco he sent word
 to the senate that in consequence of gov
 ernmental detention he was inhibited from attending the deliberations of that
 most august body.
 When the psychological hour arrived de Mello went aboard his flag ship and as- sumed command of the fleet, Wanden-
 kalk was by connivance released from imprisonment, Vice President Peixoto
 was summoned to abdicate upon penalty
 of bombardment and the war vessels pre- pared for action.

With the exception of the Tiradentes and the monitor Bahia the entire Brazil ian navy was under the command of de Mello, the minister of marine. They com- prised the man of war Aquidaban the steel cruiser Republica, the gunboats Tro- jano, Guanabara, Almirante Tamandare and Esperanca, and the transports Venus, Marte and Jupiter.
 But a new obstacle suddenly presented itself As the insurgents were between the forts and the city, the foreign men of war lying in the harmon informed de Mel 10 that Rio de Janeiro must be considered an unfortifed city and that he would moi be permitted to lombard it unless Peixotc first fired upon the insurgents.
 The vice president had placed cannons upon the hills back of the business area l of the city and trained them upon the hostile ships but as the citizens were aware of the situation and knew that I one shot from the land batteries would render the pretext for foreign intervention untenable and justify the rebel lombard ment from an International standpoint, l they, to protect their homes from retail iatory fire, demanded silence from Peix- otos guns, which demand, through dread of popular uprising, was discretely ac- 1 ceded to.
 | But opposite the city lay Nictheroy, the | former capital of the state of Rio de | Janeiro. which was defended by forts, and in it's bombardment de Mello was as- sured of freedom from molestation by the foreign ironclads in the harbor. conse- quently he attacked the. place with all the fury of warfare imaginable.
 | And oh, the magnifcence of the sight. The intrepid de Mello purposely placed the Aquldaban between the forts of Santa Cruz and Lage, thus leading them to di- rect their deadly fire against each other and the rest ot the fleet was enveloped in perpetual cloud that was constantly illuminated by the flash of the guns. The roar of artillery was deafening and in cessant and the horrors of hell seemed rampant The very hillsides appeared to tremble and writhe in convulsive throes, the mountains seemed to quake under the l tremor of fear and the waters of the bay boiled in angry ebullition fonlented by seething shell and bilow-ploughing shot All day did the guns belch their death dealing volleys upon the stricken city It was terrific, it was sublime and 1t is 1 loI1
