Funeral   of  the   Late  Frank  A.
Welch a Magnificent Affair, .
*>
Largest  in  the   History   of   Clare   County.
-*
■•*■--
The body of "Frank A. Welch, son of
-ex-Mayor James L. Welch, was laid
to rest in Cherry G-rove cemetery last
Sunday morning. Clare's tribute to
her soldier was beautiful and touching. It seemed as though all the
people in the city and in the country
for many miles around, turned out to
pay homage to his memory. The vast
throng along the line of parade and in
the cemetery numbered several thousand, aud all, from the oldest to the
youngest, showed sincere sympathy
for the bereaved family' and tearful
regret for the dead.
Several hundred persons were assembled at the union depot at 10
o'clock: last Thursday night when the
train bearing Frank's remains, reached Clare. Mayor Dunlop and the
common council received the body and
bore it to the undertaking rooms of A.
Thurston & Co. The next evening it
•was conveyed to tbe home of ex-Mayor
Welch on First street, out from which
•fi'Wp,years ago Frank had gone, filled
with patriotic fervor, to take his place
in the army of the United States. In
the Philippines he had met his death
toravely fighting for his country. Now
the government had brought him
hack ten thousand miles from across
the sea, to the grief-stricken home,o
where for thirteen months since his
4eath, the loved ones had been watching and waiting, oft times almost
wjLtbout hope, for the precious body of
iffir boy. Sympathetic hands relieved the family of every possible burden.
The casket, resting in the home so
-greatly bereayed, was soon strewn
With flowers. The flag Frank had
bought to defend, enshrouded him.
All Friday evening and Saturday and
-up to the yery hour of the services on
■Sunday morning,-^there was a steady
stream Of friends passing through the
Wain fn which the body lay and many
& tear was shed in sympathy with the
sorrowing family.
The citizens committee had arranged every detail of the funeral and
under the supervision of ex-Mayor
Kirkbride, who acted as Marshal,
these details were carried out quietly
aud perfectly. The light showers of
rain which fell during the early morning cooled the atmosphere and
brought comfort to the assembling
crowds. Promptly at the appointed
hour Rev. A. 0. Barclay of the Baptist church conducted a brief service
of prayer at the home and tbe body
of the dead soldier was borne to tbe
hearse by his comrades in arms:
Farnham Pratt, Clifford Clark, Euth-
erford Durling, Samuel Stewart,
George Bowen, Dell Vreeland and
Joel Bader.
To the sweet strains of music by
the Harrison city band, the funeral
cortege moved slowly from the house
to the cemetery in the following order:
Harrison City Band.
Clare Company, Uniform Rank, K.
of P.
Horthey's Martial Band.
W. S. Hancock Post, G. A. R.
Clergymen and speakers in carriage.
Veterans of the Spanish-American
and Philippine wars.
The hearse.
The family in carriages.
Veterans of the Mexican war in carriage.
Mayor Dunlop and the common
council.
Singers in carriages.
Citizens in cariages and on foot.
The profession was perhaps the
longest ever seen in Olare and was
viewed by crowds of people all along
the line of march,
The services at the cemetery will
long be remembered by the thousands
of people who were there. Though
the vast audience were compelled to
stand  throughout   the   ceremonies,
there was no disorder, all giving respectful and sympathetic attention
and the services themselves were
touching and appropriate. The ladies'
quartet, consisting of Mrs. James Rox-
burg, Miss Clara Bruske, Miss Maud
Rhoades and Miss Kate Knowles,
beautifully sang two selections,
"Abide with Me," and "Thy Will be
Done;" Rey. J. W. Hathaway of the
M. B, church, gave the scripture reading (the 103d Psalm and the four-
teethn chapter of St. John) and Rev,
M.'Knowles offered prayer.
Arthur J. Lacy delivered an address which deserved and received the
closest attention from all. He spoke
feelingly of the dead soldier, of his
heroism and patriotism and paid a
splendid tribute to his yalor. D. E.
Alward also addressed the audience.
So clear and distinct was his enunciation that the vast throng present were
able to follow him throughout, and
himself having buried inCherry Grove
a little boy whose memory he fondly
cherishes, he could sympathize with
the bereaved parents as those not having borne a similar grief could not
possibly do. It was indeed a sad occasion, and when his brief addresB was
ended few were there whose faces
were nob tear-stained.
Mrs. J. A. Reeder and Miss Louise
Bruske sang "Sweetly our Hero
Sleeps," the words and music of the
song being, a fitting finale to the service for the dead. The body v/as lowered into the grave and the salute was
fired by a detachment of veterans of
the civil war, and all was over.
Mr. and Mrs." James L. Welch request the Sentinel to express for
them their heartfelt appreciation of
all that bas been dode for them and
the great honor which the community
has show to the memory of their son.
The many words of sympathy and
deeds of kindness have done much to
soften their grief and they will ever
cherish, in greatful remembrance,
these expressions of the people.

the Williams House and with live
saloon men was arrested for not having his bar in sight from the street.
"None of the six had bars which could
be seen from the street.
The case went to the Circuit court
and Judge Smith held that all bars
must be in unobstructed view from
the street according to law. A fund
was then raised among the saloon men
of the state to assist White in his case.
The Supreme court has been considering the case for six months and now
affirms Judge Smith's decision.
This means that almost every bar in
every saloon and hotel in Michigan
must be rearranged and remodeled so
that the bar oan be plainly seen from
the street without any obstructions.
MICHIGAN MACCABEES.
Their Relation To The Supreme
1'ent.
To The Editok:—
For the information of over 100,000
members of the Order in Michigan,
many of whom are laboring under the
impression that the changes in the
laws of the Supreme Tent, particularly that of raising the rates of assessments, affected the Great Camp membership, I want to say through your
columns for their beneflb that such is
not the case. Outside of using in common the same ritual and the same pass
words, the two bodies are just as distinct and as independent as the relations of each are to other sister organizations. Legislation passed by the
Supreme Tent cannot effect the Great
Oamp and no legislation passed by the
Great Camp can have any bearing on
the Supreme Tent. Each is acting
under seperate and dii-tinct articles of
incorporation and under laws of their
own making. Tnere bas never been
any closer relations than mentioned
above.
The Great Camp was organized and
incorporated in 1SS1. The SuDreme
Tent was organized in 1883, two' years
later, as a voluntary association, and
in 1885 was incorporated under the
General Laws of the state.
The only action taken by the Supreme Tent which mjgut effect the
Great Camp was in amending the
articles of association so that it could
do business in Michigan, in competition with the Great Oamp. Heretofore and now the articles of incorporation of the Great Oamp limited its
jurisdiction to the State of Michigan,
while the Supreme Tent extended to
all other parts of the country outside
of this state. As the Supreme Tents
assessment rates are about double that
of the Great Oamp, I do not apprehend,
should they do business In this state,
it would injure the Great Gamp in the
least.

Those Medical Examinations.
The writer desires to inform his
fejlow citizens that the Michigan
state medical examination is much
more thorough than that of neighboring states, and in order now t to stand
a successful examination, a very comprehensive knowledge of the whole
field of medicine and surgery is necessary and must be up-to'-dale.    Dr.
Shaw passed successfully:  chemistry,.
bactereology,   physiology,    histology,
pathology,   toxicology,    gynaecology,
distriptive   anatomy,  surgical  anatomy,   materia medica,   therapeutics,,
practice of medicine, minor surgery,
major surgery, surgical pathology, obstetrics*, eye and ear,  medical juris- -
prudence and public health laws and.*
hygiene, which have been placed- to •
his credit by the state medical board.-
Of the nineteen subjects the doctor-
captured eighteen and got the nineteenth, '"a paper on mental and nervous diseases, tbe medico-legal aspect -
of which brings it within the range of-*
expert   knowledge."  except  two-or-
tbree quest-ions.   This paper will* be. -
made a  specialty   of   while-  away.
Hitherto the examinations were on a,,
par with those of Wisconsin or Illinois but they now meet the recent;-,
graduate  of colleges   recognized*   by:"
the state board.   Reference for  the-
