Over in Mt. Pleasant the othsr day
a woman abstracted a wreath ®i flowers, intended for a new made grave,
and placed it on her husband's tomb.
This post-morten expression of conjugal affection will probably cut no
figure when .she is arraigned before a
police court on the common-place
charge of stealing.
Weare?pleased to note that the Harrison Cleaver is improving under  the
management of M.J. Follett, who purchased the paper recently.
*•*
The 'papers of the state are publish-
ing'what purports to be a list of Michigan-cities with their population, as
taken from the manual. There are
two bad errors in it. Hastings and
Clare are omitted from the list, though
they-appear correctly in the manual.
Michigan has 70 cities, of which Detroit heads the list with 237,837 souls
in 1S94, and Harrison foots the column
with'746 population. There are seven
cities with 20,000 or more population,
whioh are in order: Detroit, Grand
Rapids, Saginaw, Bay City, Jackson,
Kalamazoo, Muskegon. There are 10
more cities with over 10,000 people.
These are 21 more that exceed 5,000,
and -there are 32 under that figure. In
the list of 70 cities, Mt. Pleasant ranks
49th, Midland 57th, Clare 66th", Gladwin $9th, Harrison 70th.
Am item is going the rounds-of the
press warning girls that after next
yearthere will not be another leap-year
until 1900. It's worse than that, girls.
After 1896 the next leap-year falls on
1904. Doubtless some careless printer
got the last figure of the date wrong,
and others copied him unthinkingly.
Although 1900 is divisible by 4 it is not
a leap-year. Century dates, like 1700,
1800, .1900, etc., are not leap years except when divisible by 400, Instead of
4. The explanation of this exception
to the .rule of the occurrence of leap-
year-will be readily seen by those who
already understand why it is necessary
to add a day to the calendar every 4th
year. The adding of the extra leap-
year day makes 20 extra, days in a century, which is three-fourths of a day
too much, which is rectified by leaving
out the 20th leap year three-times out
of four.

Bicycles are having lots of Jun with
thegirls these days. It would be as
much as our life is worth to mention
names, but they say that .theaparty of
bicycle learners that was out practicing Monday morning, had the appearance, on their return, of having been
in a railway disaster. A badly sprained
ankle, a dilapitated skirt, and sundry
bruises, from terrific "headers," are
only a few of the many .casualties.
Were the young ladies "discouraged?
nSTotmueh!   Clare young women are a
plucky l@t.
* ■*
Mt. Pleasant has a new $800 fire
alarm system. They are bound to let
the people know when there is a fire
over there, even if they have no adequate way to extinguish itv
■» *
* .       .
An Indiana exchange states an unvarnished fact when it says that criticism in a newspaper on a subject of
public or private interest usually calls
forth a variety of opinions from a
number of minds. It is through criticism that the editor is enabled to
realize '-the power of the press." The
newspaper can praise an organization or
individual, give columns of free "puffs"
and many announcements and not
even words of encouragement reach
the editorial sanctum from the sources
they are-supposed to benefit. But
let criticism be passed and the next
day callers at the office and communications will be frequent and plentiful.

Many citizens would have been
pleased to have seen Mr. Adams reappointed city marshal. His .efforts
toward looking after disorderly juveniles had the hearty support of the
parents. It remains to be seen whether
Marshal Austin will do as well. We
hope so, though past experience does
not make us very sanguine.

the library in the shape of about 25
books on the American history.
•The pupils feel grateful for the
hydrants which have been put in the
yard and the use of the water which
by cooling the sand, allays the heat
during these hot, sultry days.

one final examination over the first
part of the book and are now reviewing preparatory to a final over the
whole subject.

Clare County Savings Bank. 23-4
Mrs. Rogers & Co. are receiving a
liberalsbare of dress making.
Written for tne Sentinel —
Sleeves are enormously large above
the elbows.
Profuse adornment characterizes
the Napoleon hat.
" Black lace tulips with yellow centers
are novelties in millinery.
The bandean is gradually disappearing from underneath the brim of bhe
hats.
The Napoleon style of chapeau
should be avoided by all but youthful
women.
The latest designs in lingerie are
elaborately trimmed, and are very
beautiful.
Johnson'handspuns and sea island
zephyrs hold high rank among washable fabrics.
A cape is the most satisfactory outside garment for use over the present
style of sleeves.
"Fiber Chamois" is the name given
to the new material for interlining
skirts.and sleeves.
Striped patterns prevail in the handspuns, although there are some plain
and mixed varieties as well.
Black lace straw made in imitation
of-spider's web is a novel and charming
factor in-the latest millinery.
Exquisite daintiness characterizes
the fashionable collarette, and flowers
enter largely into its construction. •
Jet evening bonnets are often worn
without trimmings, but a garniture of
lace ribbons and flowers may be added if desired.
Loop-edge embroidered insertions
are displayed in ecru, ecru and white,
and white relieved with pale blue, pink,
helitropeor some other dainty color.
The new sea island zephyrs are
very much like the French zephyr
ginghams in color and texture, and
measures twenty-seven inches, from
selvage to selvage.
When handspun is made up for other
than outing wear it may be made adorned with lace, ribbons or embroidery.
The material is twenty-nine inches
wide and does not shrink when laundered.	
Doherty has the best $1 walking
shoes in the city.

W.C.T.Ut DEPARTMENT.
[This department is under the control of the W.
G. T. U. of Clare. All matter intended for it
should be addressed to Kev. Mrs. Hinman,
editor of the department.
The W. C. T. TJ. will meet,Saturday
afternoon at 3 o'clock 'in the Congregational chapel.   All are welcome.
There will be an entertainment under the auspices of the W. C. T. TJ.
The time is set for the evening of May
17.
Our superintendent will give us a
drill on parliamentary usage next Saturday at the Union.
The time has. never been when this
nation has looked upon the sin of intemperance as it does at the present.
When the drink bill of the United
States is $900,000,000 a year, this' does
not include the cost of material, machinery or manufacture. It is the cost
to consumers. Think of that $900,000,-
000—not the dollars and cents of the
wealthy classes alone5 but of the "poor
working man," many of whom are and
have been for months out of employment. It is enough, money to have
kept all the idle factories running to
supply all the destitute men, women
and children with the necessities and
many of the luxuries of life. If you
should lay these "standard silver dollars on the ground, edge down, you
would have three rows reaching from
Buffalo to Chicago, or if piled one
above another they would make a column which would reach 1,600 miles into the air. Imagine this glittering
pile of silver as it towers into the air,
the top-most dollar of which is far beyond the vision of the naked eye, and
what'a monument it is! Beautiful,
were it raised to commemorate deeds
of charity and love, most worthy and
inspiring if it spake of battles for the
right. But it stands a monument to
ruined hopes, darkened homes, wasted
lives and blighted ambitions. It rep-
resentsmore fitter tears and sad hearts
than all the marble monuments in the
'silent city' of our land."
