If any one  doubts .that genius  is
born, not made, he has only to stand a
few mo-ients and watch the movements of O. E. Crowley, the lightning
artist, who is now located in the Husted block, under direction  of  H.   W.
Morrison, who is manager" for the  artist.   He places up before him a bit of
stretched canvass, perhaps twenty by

Thei-abadie-Roweil Company
" The favorites have come and gone
again, having deepened the impression i-iey have already made on Clare
audiences, that the company is one of
the best if not the best that travels
this way.     The played " "Faust"  at
Doherty's Saturday night to a  good-
sized atudience, the best that" has recently greeted a play . at the opera
house.   Francis Labadie's. * "Mephisto"
•does not have horns and hoofs, and. an
ugly look.   He is crafty and wise, understands human frailties,  and   is,
withal,* somewhat jovial.   He is everything to everybody to accomplish his
purpose of debasing.
MissEowell- "Marguerite" is almost perfect. Her acting is not acting—itis nature-itself. There was
hardly a' flutter of breath in the whole
audience during the" "vision.'-'
Manager Doherty should be heartily
sustained in his effort to secure plays
-of the class of that presented Saturday
night. While their audiences are not
. as demonstrative as at a minstrel
.show, we believe such plays are duly
appreciated. It is not the play, that
arouses the gallery most that is most
■desirable. Three or four coarse jokes
would provoke more applause" from
t-ist source"t-':-i a whole evening of

An Alarm of Fire.
The "mocking bird" brought out the
Are department at about four o'clock,
.Saturday, while a terrific gale was - filling the air with smoke from forest
fires.   The alarm was caused by a
small fire in straw and loose material
at the rear of Dr. Todd's barn, Caught J
probably from sparks blown from the.
-fires'west of the city.   The Are communicated with the fence leading  to
the barn and was easily  extinguished
with a few pails of water.    Had the
[ fire reached the' barn • nothing  could
have saved it and the-houses tq the
east, in such a wind.   It was truly a
narrow escape.
Fires near the Ballentine pole yard
threatened the property there with
destruction all day Saturday, keeping
about thirty men busy protecting from
fire. Had it .crossed the railroad
tracks, doubtless $30,000 worth of poles
would have been destroyed.
Saginaw Devastated—:Ten —Cen _;t__ed
Deat_   at take   City—Oae   _".Hied
—[credit——Clare —'arrowly Escaped.
Owing to the warm weather of last
week drying up the woods, forest fires
became numerous over all the northern part of the state. In many cases
they originated from the fires kindled
to clear up land.
Saturday forenoon a strong breeze
sprang up which increased in intensity, fanning the flames into uncontrol-
ablefury. In many cases the fires
reached valuable timber, and occasionally buildingSj rendering the inmates houseless.
At Lake City the fires surrounded
the lumbering camps of Louis Sands,
cutting off all escape for about a dozen
of the men. Eight of them after vain
efforts to escape, leaped into a well
and would have thus been saved, had
not the wooden curb caught fire and
fallen in on them, burning* their heads.
They all perished.
A fire started, probably from a spark
from an engine, in the unused mill of
Briggs & Cooper, at Saginaw, at about
4 o'clock.   The gale fanned the flames,
carrying them over a quarter of a mile
across the river, burning ten blocks of
houses there and then skipping over
a half mile of buildings broke out
afresh, destroying in   all about 300
buildings and the loss is estimated at
nearly a million dollars.   The bridges
connecting the two Saginaws were
burned down.
Meredith had a narrow escape.  The
fire raged in the A. W. Wright Lumber Co's pine west of the town,  destroying the camps and about 40 head
of swine.   The men and horses barely
escaped.   James Hendrie, the chore-
boy, an old man about 80 years of age-
was struck by a falling tree and killed.
The fire swept across both sides of the
railroad.    Meister's shingle mill,  1
miles north of the town, also burned.
Eeed City suffered the" loss of a number of shingle sheds and about J5Q0Q
worth ofishingles.   About $lOO0ffs$rt_
of poles for Coleman d parties 'were
[burned near Farw.ell.
Other losses o£more or less account
are reported from various parts of the
state. "Clare did not entirely escape.
Sparks blown from fires west of the
city ignited some rubbish at the rear
of Dr. Todd's barn, but it was happily
put out before damageiwas done. Judson Wilson lost a barn by fire in Grant
township. ,
School   Notes.

classes are taking, general reviews.
. Harry Green way and Clayton Decker called at the high school last Tuesday.
Mr. Palmer occasionally recalls old

seniors on the Sunday previous to the
commencement exercises. If everything is convenient there will be union
services at the M. E. church.
The English literature class is reading DeQuincey's essay, "Knocking at
the Gate in Macbeth."

with the earnings of the same. The
proceeds are to be used in the purchase of school aperatus.

Lady Maccabee Anniversary.
The evening of the 24th of May was
one long to be* remembered by the

Mrs. John  Schoonover was taken
Monday to the asylum at Traverse
City.   For several years she has had
spells that her mind was not entirely
right, but • with care has overcome
them.   This winter, owing to the continued ill health of Mr.  Schoonover,
she has become worse, and has desired
to be taken to an asylum.   Last week
a medical examination was held and it-
was decided best to take her to Traverse City.   Mr. Schoonover expects to
go next week to stay some time with a
daughter at Fife Lake, where he; will
be near enough to visit Mrs. Schoonover each week.
