Lorenzo B, Goodman.
Louie Goodman, whose friends have
watched with deep sympathy as his
step grew slower and voice feebler,
quietly bieathed his last in the early
morning, Friday, May 17th, 1895. He
surrendered to the same inslduous foe
as did his brother, Steve, three years
ago.
He was a young man, bright and capable, and of good attainments. He
was what is so rarely found, a model
young man. It is safe to say he had
not an ememy in the world. The
sympathy of the entire community
goes out to his young wife and to his
parents.
Lorenzo D. Goodman was born in
Birmingham, Mich., July 28,1869. He
attended the schools of his native tillage and in 1885 graduated therefrom
with much honor. Three years later
he came to Clare,being employed most
of the time since then in the store of
his father W. H. Goodman. For two
years he was with Cummer's Lumber
Co., Cadillac. In April, 1893, he was
married to Miss Bertha Feighner. One
child was born, which died at the age
of four months.
The funeral was held at his late
home, Sunday, conducted by Rev. A.
H. Coors, assisted by Rev. S. A. Long.
The remains rest at Cherry Grove.
EASTERN STAR RESOLUTIONS.
Whereas, By the death vof Louie
Goodman, a great loss has come to his
family and friends, and Whereas, his
exemplary and upright life has won
the highest respect of his fellows in all
the walks of life; Resolved, That we,
as members of the Eastern Star, declare our high appreciation of the
manly qualities and Christian virtues
that characterized the life of our esteemed young friend; RESOLYED,Thafc
a copy of these resolutions be presented to the publishers of our city paper
for publication.
RESOLUTIONS OF LATOSCA HIVE.
"Whereas, Death has entered the
home of our Lady Chaplain and taken
therefrom her "noble boy," therefore,
be it Resolved, that we, the members of LaTosca Hive, do extend our
heartfelt sympathy to Lady Goodman,
husband and family in this, their sad
hour of bereavement, and be it Resolved that a copy of these resolutions be placed upon the records of our
Hive and also published in the city
paper.
Bear up, brave heart, "beneath thy cares,
.    With thee "thy loved ones mourn,''
Thy tender ministrations proved
The-trials thou hast borne.
Bear up, tho' lonely be thy home
And oft thy sad heart ache.
Let this sweet thought thy comfort be:
His spirit waits to welcome thee
To fellowship at last with Him
Who maketh no mistake.
Martha. Bicknell, Hattie Allen, Com'tee.
John Dillon.
There is but one John Dillon; and
he has never been successfully imitated. With a keen pereeepbion for
the humorous side of life, and possessed of a magnetism that makes living
everything he touches, he was born by
nature, and schooled by art, to occupy
a foremost, plaee in his chosen profession. For a third of a century he has
been a prominent star, and is to-day
doing some of the best work of his
life.
His new play, "Wanted the Earth,"
fits Billon and Dillon fits the play.
In fact, Mr. Dillon has not been so
happily cast since he electrified the
continent in "All The Rage," some
years ago. The play may not be without faults from a dramatic standpoint,
but like other light comedies, the , fun
is so fast and furious that one forgets
everything but to, laugh. The author's
conception and the actor's portrayal
of characters, Smith and. DeSmythe,
are admirable, and the funny side of
life on a Kew 0 ersey farm, is clearly
illustrated in—Wanted—the Earth.
The second and third acts are in the
nature of a satire upon Wall street
speculators and the shoddy aristocracy
which longs to be looked upon as "sas-
siety".
Mr. Dillon has surrounded himself
with a competent company, which embraces such well known names as Zack
L. Evans, R. G. Folsom, Allite Irving,
Lillian Blake, Lillian Spellman and
others of equal merit-^and when we
add, that Mr. Dillon has lost none of
his old-time fire charm—it goes without saying that a. pleasing performance is in store for those who attend
the opera house next Wednesday,
May 29th.
Health Officer.
How many of us have ever stopped
to think of the arduous duties of a
Health Officer and of what vast importance it is to us that our health officer shall do his work thoroughly in
all respects? Our own health and perhaps our lives, the health and lives of
our wives and children, depend largely
upon the intelligence and efficiency of
the health officer and the actions of
the board of health. Let us look at
someof the requirements: The statute
provides that every board, of health
shall appoint and constantly have a
health officer who shall be a well-educated physician and act as sanitary adviser, and an executive officer of the
board. It shall be the duty of the
health physician and also of the clerk
of the local board of health, at least
once in each year to report to the
state board of health their proceedings, and such other facts required, on
blanks, and in accordance with instructions received from the state
board. They shall also make special
reports whenever required to do so by
the state board of health, shall examine into all nuisances, sources of filth
and causes of sickness. Whenever the
health officer shall have good reason to
believe that there is within his jurisdiction a case of small-pox, diphtheria,
scarlet fever, or other communicable
disease dangerous to public health, it
shall be his duty immediately to investigate the subject, and in behalf of the
board of health of which he is an executive officer, to order the prompt
and thorough isolation of those sick or
infected with such disease, to see that
no person suffers for lack of nursing or
other necessaries because of isolation
for public good, to give public notice
of infectious places by placard on the
premises, to promptly notify teachers
or superintendents of schools, to supervise funerals of persons dead from
communicable disease, to disinfect
rooms, clothing and premises, and all
articles likely to be infected, before allowing their use by persons other than
those in isolation, to keep the president of his own hoard of health, and
the secretary of the state board of
health, constantly informed of the
facts so far as the same shall come to
his knowledge.
The above is only a small part of
what the health officer is expected and
by law required to do. He must make
a report to the state board every week,
must give permits for transporting
the dead and see that the bodies are
properly embalmed and coffin sealed
hermetically. l$ow I believe a very
little thought should convince every
person of the great necessity of having this work well and faithfully performed. I also think most will agree
with me that to obtain an object so
desirable we must pay for what we
get. I believe that our common council has fixed the salary of the health
officer without considering the great
amount of service expected in return.
The past 2 or 3 years the salary has
been so low that there has been nothing done, which is usually the case
when we try to get something for
nothing, STow, considering the condition of this place, it will be necessary,
if the health officer does his duty, to
spend from one to three months of his
time. He will also make half the people mad, (for nothing hurts so much as
to be made to do what we ought to do
without being asked). .This no physician can afford to do for the salary of
$2.50 a month, nor do I think for a
moment that the tax payers of this
city are so mercenary as to ask it, nor
should the common council allow it.
This officer is of more importance to
all the people than any other officer in
the city, as by his good offices the
health, and perhaps the lives, of our
loved ones are effected. The law provides, (where no salary is established),
that the health officer shall receive not
less than $2 a day. Why not leave it
without salary and pay by the day,
then the health officer will do just
what the board orders, and we will
pay for just what we get and no body
cheated. A Tax Payer.
Sunday Excursion.
Sunday, May 26th, the T. .& A. A.

Clare at *7:25 a. m. Fare for the round
trip, $1.50,- which includes free ride on

Communication.
Editor Sentinel:—I noticed in
vour last week's paper that Aid. C. S.
Lee was in attendance at the State
Fireman's Association, and having an
hour's leisure last Saturday, took the
opportunity of calling at Mr. Lee's
place of business to find out if I could
the object or benefit our boys could derive by being members of such an association.
Before I could make my wants
known, Chief Clark came in, and while
listening fco their conversation I found
that the object was to perfect the best
plans and appliances to subdue fires, in
fact, a school of instruction, and in
looking over the proceedings of the
meeting a year ago, I saw that subjects of great importance were discussed and it was with a feeling of pride
that I saw that Clare had been represented at these meetings for several
years by able men; and I then understood how our department had been
keeping pace with those of larger cities than ours. Then the thought
struck me, what interest has the average citizen ever taken in our "fire laddies?" When they are working hard
at some fire that threatens to wipe out
a large portion of our city, we call
them brave fellows and pat them on
the back. The next we say, (should it
be mentioned at all?) they get pay for
what they do. Then, occasionally I
see two or three of them sprinkling
the streets, and after the work is done
pass among our business men for a 5 or
10c collection and find that some of
our enterprising merchants think the
boys ought to do the work for a general benefit and for the privilege of being a fireman.
Now I understand the boys have offered to do a large amount of the work
in fixing up the grounds and building
to be occupied by them and the city,
on 5th street. Why not we, as citizens, voluntarily assist in this work
and put. our fire department and city
hall in condition to receive company?
Then, when our representative from
the fire department and city goes to
the State association next May, we can
tell him to invite the firemen of Michigan to visit us the next year and assure them of a royal welcome.
Who among all our public-spirited
men and women will espouse the cause
of the firemen? A Tax Payer.

Dr. Price's Cream Baking Powder
Most Perfect Made.
Moire ribbons are no longer used for
trimming.
The Norfalk jacket is much admired
for cycling suits:
Crepe ribbons are made with satin
edges that contrast in hue with the
crepe.
Black zephyr marked with white
lines is designed for mourning toilettes.
Entire bodices are covered with all-
over eyelet lace draped to suggest a
blouse.
Double-faced satin, velvet crepe,
gauze and taffeta ribbons are ail very
popular.
"Gesmonda" is a new variety of lace
having large floral figures appliqued
on fine net.
Surah silk is said to be good material for a bicycling suit, as dust can be
readily wiped from it.
The latest puff sleeve measures 44
inches across in the medium sizes, and
requires.six yards of 18-inch material
for its construction.
Unusually wide insertions of carxick-
nacross, lierre, point veruse and batiste laces are shown, and are desirable for effecting blouse suggestions;
three widths being required to make
the pretty drooping French front so
much in vogue.

2J5XP THE EVIL XN" THE BTJ3>.
People often sing, "Where Is My
Wandering Boy To-night?" but the
truth is, when the parents went to
church or temperance meeting this
wandering boy also left home and
joined his associates on the street corner. The parents are singing this song
and shouting "Down with the saloon!"
while they are giving their boy full
liberty to do as he pleases. And he
generally lives up to his privileges.
This is one phase of a large subject,
and it is a phase which should be
looked squarely in the face. However
ardent parents may be in supporting
the cause of temperance, they may,
by their neglect, by their short-com-
mings in home training, help to foster
the liquor traffic. Their plan and man^
if est duty is, to nip the evil in the bud
by wise and careful training, of their
boys in all that is- excellent iand lovely
and of goodreport. In the work of
temperance reform every one must
build over against his house.-^-Mid .
Continent^       ^ .    ,
During the next 30 days, commending May the20th, I shall make 300 dozen cabinets for $1,50 to $2 per dozeik

This means business—don't delay.
