announcement of the coming to our
city of the popular actor, Mr. Frank
Tucker. ' The company will give three:
first class performances, the plays selected being both new and bright.
Prof. Bemis, recently resigned from
. the Chicago. (Rockafeller) University,
has written a letter for publication in
which he says the reason he could not
stay with the university was because
lie spoke and wrote too freely in the
interests of labor to please the millionaires who own the university and its
faculty.
The subscribers  to a home news-
paper should make it, a point to pa-,
troniz'e the. merchants who use the columns to present their line of goods.
Were it not for'advertisers the subscription price of each and every paper
•would be twice as much.   It is the
.merchant that makes it possible for
.each and every person to supply their,
-families with newspapers. A thorough,
•reader never fails to read the advertisements, and by' so doiag he keeps,
^posted as to the commercial interests'-
#of the wholesale and retail dealers.—

The members of the University Association reading circle to the number
*of 35 met in the chapel of the Congregational church Tuesday evening, organized and laid out a preliminary
plan of work. Prof. W.'J. Hutchison
■was chosen leader, Mrs. Ed A. White,
.secretary, aud Mrs. S. C. Kirkbride,
•treasurer. The meetings of the circle
will be held Tuesday evening of each
week, and for the present in the Congregational chapel. Topics were assigned to several persons for next
week's meeting, when it is expected
that the full membership of 60 persons
will be present. The work promises
to be not only profitable, but highly
enjoyable, and everyone who would
like to take a course, in the study of
the outlines of the world's history, is
invited to join the class. The present
Week's study is on tne history ot Egypt.
County Treasurer Joseph Dixon of
Mt. Pleasant was in the city the first
of the week.
Mrs. Dell Herrick and children of
Farwell visited with Mrs. George W.
Lee, Wednesday.
Scott Irvey and wife of Wheeler
have been visiting friends in the city
during the week.
J. H. Wilson, the tailor, and David
■Borison, the hardware man, .went to
Jackson, Wednesday. They went for
the purpose of buying each a fast
horse. They don't propose to take
anybody's dust now.
The auction book-seller still holds
forth in the Boss building, selling
books at auction for actually more
than is asked for the same in town.
He lies like a trooper, but pleases the
crowd with his smooth tongue. He is
here to sell books and does it.
On good authority it is stated that
letters of credit, amounting to two
hundred million dollars, were sold to
American tourists to Europe last summer. This shows where American gold
goes to in such quantities. And it is
altogether probable that not one-half
of these tourists ever saw the Tose-
mite "Valley, the Colorado Canon, the
Great Lakes or even the Falls-of Niagara, in their own countrv.—Ex.

Several Ann Arbor citizens have
lately donated $10 apiece toward corking tbe drainage in the United States
treasury. This was for the privilege
of writing messages on newspapers to
save the price of a letter stamp. It
hardly pays to spoil a jack knife worth
a quarter, to skin a flint worth a cent.

Qur worthy Senator publishes the
following in bis Newaygo Republican:
"A country editor asks for proposals
from the merchants of his town to furnish him a pair of socks, a bushel of
potatoes, and five yards of calico. The
contract to be awarded the lowest bid-
following item from the Midland. Ee-(der.   He says that's'the way they do
publican, was a niece of C. F. Haller
of this city, who was present at the
funeral: Miss Annie Haller of Homer,
aged 17 years, died Monday night of
typhoid fever, after a very brief illness.
She was a daughter of Martin Haller,
and tbe funeral serviced were held
Wednesday at the house. She was a
young person highly esteemed by all.'
This is good advice and should be
heeded: Don't dodge a bicycle rider,
whether male or female. Stand still
and the rider will get along all -right.
Posts, trees, stones, etc., never dodge,
and only beginners ever run into them.
If you see a bike coming straight at
you, .don't dodge; if you do you will
confuse tbe rider. If you stand still
in the middle of the road, or wherever
you happen to be, the rider will take
care to give you plenty of room. But
if you go dodging to get out of the
way, the chances are there will be a
collision and you will get the worst
hurt of the two. Therefore don't
dodge.-—Ex.

The man who thinks it vulgar for a woman to

well may fear;
His sinful gaze wiU cast a "blight on everything

L. O. Chatfield, principal of the
Clare school 1877-79, was a pleasant
caller at the Seotinei* office this week.
He is a brother of Will Chatfield, Mt.

Mr. and Mrs. Kelson Garrow of Loomis returned via Coleman Friday,
from a visit to friends in Genesee and

Teachers' examination has been in

high school building. There are thirteen persons in attendance, two writing for second grade, one for third
grade A, and the remainder for third
grade B, certificates.
James Saul, near Dover, has a hen
that seems to comprehend fully the
duty of being a hen. No ordinary egg
laying satisfies her, but tegularly as
the days go by she deposits au egg of
such size that a goose might be proud
of it. They are of uniform size, being
6t inches around the small way and 8
inches over the ends. This is no freak
with her, but an every-day occurence.
The board of supervisors are having
an intesting "session this week. Aside
from the usual routine work, several
special items have come up. The
county printing was given the Cleaver,
breaking the old line of rotation. F.
A. Carncross was reappointed member
of the board of schools examiners—
a good appointment. John Hampton
of Sheridan, is the new chairman of
the board. Dr. L. L. Kelley, the
ex-chairman, has served long and well.
The editor of the Se"ntine"l hastens
to acknowledge receipt of an inyita-
tion to spend a few days tbis winter as.
a guest of the Palmer house,- Chicago,
without expense, providing we do not
ask for a room wortb more than $4 a
day. That's all right; a four-dollar-a-
day room is good enough for us. We
hope to see a large number of other
leading hotels in Chicago,Detroit,Saginaw and Clare follow the cbmmendi-
ble example set bv the Palmer house.
Then life would be worth living. ' We
would never again speak slightingly of
hotel hash nor of the hotel clerk's diamond pin. The millennium is coming,
If we ever go to Chicago we will hereafter stop at the Palmer house,-* even if'
it costs as high as $1.50 a day, just to
show our appreciation of this kind
consideration.
A writer soliloquizes thusly: Who
is the hard working man? lie is the
millionaire, the man who wanted to
get rich and has got rich, Is he the
happier for it? Bless your soul, he's
more miserable, fuller of cares and
anxieties, and'harder work than ever.
He is the veriest slave of them all. He
is pushed with business, and business
is pushing him. He has so many irons
in the fire that some of them are burning his fingers, while others are getting cold. His life is a rush from the
meeting of this board to the meeting
of that board and thence to some other
board. He is a director in this company and a trustee in that, and a silent
partner in that, world without end
and more coming. He hasn't time to
eat, and hardly to sleep and when he
does lay his poor head on the 'pillow
he can't stop business cares and
schemes, hopes and fears, from whirling and whirling/through it. He can't
take a day to spend in quiet out .of
town and if he could he would take all
of his business with him into the
woods. He is a slave and a victim.
His millions in tbe bank don't brrag
him so much enjoyment as a. hew ten-
cent piece given to a boy 10 years old.

Advertised Letters—Letters remaining in the Clare post office for the week
ending Saturday, October 12, '95. Persons calling for same please say"adver-
tised:" Wm, Alcock, Wm. Barnes, T.
Lucy, Fred Boot, Henry G. Smith,
Mary Tetrault.
Married: by Eev. A, H. Coors,
Joseph L. Presley -of Grant township,
and Mrs. J. V. Sine of this city. The
pleasant event occurred Sunday evening, Oct. 12th, in the presence of a
few immediate friends/at the home of
the bride in the first ward. The parties to this union are very well and
favorably known in Clare and vicinity,
and the Sentinel joins their many
friends in extending to them the very
best wishes.
Be sure to blanket your horse now
when "you leave bim standing on the
streets. By the way, we think it.
would be a good Vhing for some one, or
all of the societies in the city to unite
in humane work. The field will furnish lots to do. For instance, when
some cruel wretch leaves his horse to
stand for hours unblanketed and unfed,
let it be the duty of some one 'to care
for the animal and the owner pay'cost
of feeding before he gets it back.. This
would only be doing right and would
save lots of animal's untold'suffering.
This has been a poor week for local
news, so if the Sentinel doesn't appear
as interesting as usual in the way of
local- events, don't blame us—just
blame those that didnJt do anything
to make something interesting to read.
News, news, news! It's enough . to
give a man the blues. Nobody married—(except one or twoj—and nobody
dead; nobody broken an arm or a head;
nobody come in to talk of the "crap";
no one got boozy and started a scrap;
no one got run in for taking a horn;
nobody buried and nobody born. Oh!
for a racket, a riot, a fuss! Someone
to .-come in and kick up a muss; some
one to stir up the peace-laden air;
somebody's comment to give us a scare.
Somebody thumped1 within, an inch of
his life; somebody run off with another
man's wife: someone come in and pay
up his dues; anything, anything, just
so its news!
