The longwaited- for game between
the Church Hin and Paramount Ath-
letic Club will be played Wednesday
night at the Howitzers' Court. This
game should be one of the best played
in Richmond this season, owing to
the rivalry that exists between the two
quints. When the two outfits met
early in the season the Church Hill
boys emerged victorious by a narrow
margin, and the Paramount aggrega-
ton has hopes of retaliating We'd

Italian Art Work for st. Louis
Cemetery

st. Louis-Dr. Branch received
through Brewer & Son, a fine piece
of Italian art work, in the form of a
statue four feet six inches high,
made of pure white Italian marble,
which he intends to have set as soon
as the weather will permit, on his lot
in Oak Grove cemetery.
The order for il was placed many
months ago and the doctor had about
given up expectation of getting it,
believing it had been sent to the bot
tom of the ocean by the warning ma
tions of Europe, but recently he re-
ceived notice that it had arrived at
New York and it reached this city
the latter part of last week.
1t is said to be remarkably beau
tiful piece of work, but it is not on
exhibition as yet.

Ionia-Twelve prisoners received at
the Michigan reformatory recently,
four of the number coming from
Grand Rapids, boosted the prison pop
ulation to 620, the highest so far this
winter, and there is every indication,
says Warden Fuller, that the $50 mark
will be reached this month, and that
will be more than in a record of %
years. Every cell is now filled and
new arrivals will have to punk in the
ward. The pardon board will meet
February Is, when 80 or more applica-
tions for freedom will be considered.

Seven Cases SMALLPOX

. Albion-A report made TO the state
board of health by Health Officer
Hafford, to the effect that seven new
cases of smallpox had been discover
ed here, starting the official board on
the warpath. A member Of the board
is to visit Albion and serve notice
upon the council and other city Off
Gals that if the city does not take
better care Of the epidemic now rag
ing, the state board Of health will
order the entire city quarantined.
There have been spasmodic cases
Of smallpox in Albion for some time
past, but it is only within the last
few days that the scare has become
startling. In DR.. Hafford's report
he says there are now 10 well defined
cases in the city and many more sus-
picious ones. The residents, he says,
will not submit to vaccination, and
many of the suspected cases-people
who have been undoubtedly exposed
to the disease-refuse to consider any
isolation at all. For that reason, the
state authorities are seriously con-
sidering taking the matter in hand
themselves.
Several cases in Calhoun, Jackson
and Eaton counties, which have been
reported lately to the state authori-
ties, have been traced directly to Al
'bion, and IL is this condition more
than any other, that has caused the
latest determination to stamp out the
trouble. 5al1

Cleared of Obnoxious Fish

Ludington-Sk immins Bros, we'll
known tug men of Ludington, who
have the contract for clearing Pere
Marquette and other small lakes in
the vicinity of obnoxious fish, are
carrying on the work with all the
expedition the weather will permit.
They lift about three tons weekly
from Pere Marquette lake, but the
proportion of game fish brought up in
the nets is much greater than last
year, showing that progress is being
made in clearing the water of their
enemies. The work is carried on un-
der the supervision of deputy game
warden, who carefully separates the
game fish from the catch and returns
them to the water.
All of the obnoxious fish, except
the garfish, are edible and are ship
ped, mainly to Chicago and New
York markets. The dog fish find a
market in the Ghetto, the Jewish peo-
pie considering them a delicacy.
The packing boxes for these ship
ments are manufactured at he
Stearns lumber plant.

Jew Arrives Without Money

Lansing-Leaving Russia wrapped
in a potato sack, Alexander Shadow,
a Russian Jewish student, managed
to escape CONSUMPTION, got to this
country and as far as Lansing in
search of sister.
His sister was located in Chicago
and he was sent on to her. The
young students story sounds like a
''three reel thriller" He was in
Moscow university, and after his
brothers death at the front deranged
his mother, Alexander decided to
leave. He made his way with others
to a port near Moscow and landed on
board boat bound for New York
and flying the Russian flag.
In order to escape the search OF
port authorities, Shadow and his
friends were tied in potato sacks by
the first mate and thrown into the
hold. For eighty-four hours they re-
manned thus, and when finally visited
in safety by the kindly mate were

Blind Lads Form Boy Scout Patrol
Lansing-For the first time in this
state, Boy Scout patrol of boys abb
solutely blind is in progress of for
nation here at the Michigan School
for the Blind. In fact enough APP
plications have been received by
those who are organizing the patrol
to form two of them and this course
will likely be followed in due time.
While certain of the examinations
taken by all boy scouts can be passed
by the blind boys, the general curri-
culum will have to be considerably
modified in order that the sightless
can actually become members. 1t is
planned to use boys of normal sight
upon all marches and "hikes" and to
tone down the speed so that the blind
ones will not be at disadvantage.
Field maps for the use of the patrol
will be manufactured on the Braile
system, and r. r. Warren, instructor
in the manual training department of
the school, is to be the scout master
temporarily at least.
