\ Word to the WIse.

Through the recent appointment az
DIR. j. Vaughan as member of the NJ
troit Board of Health. that health
board is now composed entirely a.
Democrats.
Governor Ferris was urged to ress
point an experienced and valuable
member OF the board. but the fact that
the latter was Republican evidently
prevented sufficient consideration for
his years OF experience and past eE
ficiency.
IL will be recalled that when Gov
ernor Ferris was being urged TO retain
State Bank Commissioner r. III. Doyls
in the Office he had served so weil
that the only reason the governor
gave for not retaining Mr.. Doyle wsx
that the latter was Republican, and
he desired TO give the office to a
Democrat
II may be well for Michigan Repuh.

tice and philosophy in mind vbes

The character of "M1gnon Wife ot a. prominent military man, affords fine opportunity for Miss Callaway. "Mignon" takes occasion once a year when her husband, to whom she is really much attached. leaves her for the annual state militia encampment ard runs off to New York seeklnc harmless diversion. On the eventf3l occasion of which the play tells she is l,e expectcdly discovered and there arises series of complications which involve her in most Imaginable pte- dicaments. As "Mignon" attempts to squeeze tHrouSH Ter llSnI pldce SIG succeeds in provoking more laugh able situations. As she is>known by three names other than her real one and she tries to steer a safe ct urse out of her difficulties the audi ence looks on and enjoys It.

These people are skilled entertainers and their years of experience in vau- deville proves of great value to them in getting their stuff over. Mrs. LaVarnies, a woman of sixty odd years, is a real stage wonder. She is regarded as one of the great fe- male baritone singers in the world and her selections rendered in con- nection with the Kceney show en- titled her to that distinction in the opinion of the audience. She sings "Silver Threads Among the Gold" is faultlcSS style and also takes part with her son in ducts which arc crcditably rendered. Her son is a harmOnica player of extraordinary ability. He gives some clever. limitations on that instrument. "tLoney," Mrs. LaVar- nics' dog, also takes part in the sing
 ing.
 "A Trip Down the Harbor," the muciSal tabloid given by Jack Noble and Willie Landers and their "Naca- ton Girls" is serving as the head liner this week. The singing features ot th" act are excellent. The chorus looks good and sings and dances
