The new lecture by Dr. Colledge,
'■Second Fiddles," is a combination of
wit, wisdom, humor and philosophy,
touching many of the problems that
influence life, turning with the hand
of a master the Kaleidoscope of human
action. The audience is given a look
into the "whys and wherefores" that
serve to make men first and second fiddlers in the world's great orchestra,
The lecture is full of practical wisdom,
genuine humor and sound philosophy.
Dr. W. H. Thomas, of Chicago, says of
this lecture: ' flt is bright, humorous,
instructive and healthy in its teach-
idgs." Hon. J. W. Giddings, Lieut.
Governor of Michigan: "Second Fiddles belongs to that class of lectures
which should have an enduring place
on the platform; it carries all the way
through a spirit of encouragement, exalted ambition, and is interspersed
with delightful humor." Mr. Colledge
will lecture on this subject at the Congregational church, May XL.
The city council at its regular meeting Tuesday evening ground out quite
a grist of business and the session was

sted as sureties was not accepted.
Neither was that of James Duncan

decided to abandon the theatrical business, and is now negotiating for a
suitable place in this city to open a

When you see a woman step to her
kitchen door and fling a pan of dishwater or other slops out on the ground
to sweat and stink like a rotten mack-
eral by moon-light, you can bet high
she is an untidy housekeeper. There
is more disease bred in that way than
any other. All sorts of slops should
be emptied in a pail and carried and
emptied on plowed or otherwise open
and porous ground. t

dolph Lamb, sureties, came up, but
was not considered, as Mr. Lamb
wished to withdraw from the bond. A.
committewas appointed to report on
probable expense of extending water
works north on MeEwan street and
east and west one block each way on
State street. John Giberson was reappointed city attorney, M. D. Davis
health officer. W. T. Weir marshal and
street commissioner.
Association tomorrow, to which all
lot owners are invited. We understand that it is quite important that
lot owners be present as the ladies desire to know what action to take in regard to caring for the lots during the
summer. It is proposed that such
owners as do not care to maintain their
own lots shall be assessed a small
amount to defray necessary expense in
maintaining. This is quite proper.
Hearly every one who passes by or
takes occasion to visit Cherry Grove
comments upon the fact that the
grounds as a whole, as wel} as individual lots, are much better cared for than
but a few years ago. Everyday since
spring opened, people may be seen busily working about the resting place of
the dead, beautifying the lowly couch
where they are taking their last, long
sleep. The Ladies' Cemetery Association should be given their full share
of credit for the organized- effort in
caring for "God's Acre." The recurring observance of Decoration Day has
had no small influenee in the matter.
Turn out and encourage the association. '	
Mrs. Goodman says
That she has just received a handsome
lot of new shapes in  spring hats.
