€_pj_3B-__L:  My last letter to yow
w&s fmm _¥T_i_hy. Eng., and here we
m® tesk safe again In our 'dear old
MMnigan home." After leaYlng Whit-
fey, ©nr visits were to bid good bye to
©mr Mends and relatives,  as'-father
§_!__ this was Ms last, visit to England.
Y®m. may be sure tha$ tike parting was
very sorrowful as _o_aeo_ tbem never
espest to see him again, some say they
ase coming .out here t/o see this eoun°
ttyj Our-last farewell was said at Hal-
5f___s from there we went to Blanches-
ters then to Liverpool.   These are two
very large cities?   Manchester Is a
large manufacturing place and Liver-
jjgoI is said to be tlss greatest seaport
_______ world, but | think L_£ewl_b_-_
ti_33_e it; Hew York --certainly has the
ilEest harbor. They are digging a
large canal between Liverpool and
X_La_iGhester so that the largest ships
can go up to Manchester and unload.
Some predict this will kill Liverpool.
All the way through Lancashire It is
a continual string of factories and coal
mines. You would wonder how all
the people live as It is so thickly populated. , o
We got into Liverpool Aug. 18th, so
we had that day to look around, as we
did not sail until the next day. It is
docks and dock yards <£or nine miles on
both sides of- the river. Berkinhead
lies across the river from Liverpool.
We went over to see the Lucania the
largest ship afloat. She was in the dry
dock and was being* repaired. They
would notallowanyonetogoon board,
but we could walk around on. top of
the dock and see the dimensions of
her. Men working under her looked
very small to us and it was a good
long walk to g~et around her., The
landing stages at Liverpool are built
of wood and float so that they can rise
and fall with the tide.   You would
not notice this as they are large covered buildings and must have cost a
large amount of money to build them
all. LBTei-t morning we took the tender
for the Alaska as she was anchored in
the middle of the river, about noon
she got under way. The U. Sr health
o_Scer Game aboard to e_-_miae us for
contagious diseases; then we are oS
for America. It was not -long before
we lost sight-of England, steamed
along the cost of.WaieSj past Holy
Head and then across the Irish channel. LiSTest mori-ing we are' sailing
along the coast of Ireland.' About 2
p. m. we go into- Queenstown harbor
to get more passengers and the malls,
then out on the-ocean again. Queens-
town harbor is said to be the finest in
the world, this- is the only harbor -that
ships are allowed to go in and out.
without a pilot. * The water is very •
deep and there Isno'&anger of running
<m the bottom.
We have now about 1,400 passengers
on board besides the crew. That night
about nine o'clock we pass Eastnet
light house which is the last land we
«_?
shall see until we sight Sandy Hook.
The first dinner at sea' was a fearful
rush for seats at the table. They had
to set the tables three different times.
The next dinner at our table father
said there were only'five and as he was
the only one in the family that went
we had to take his word for it. It
commenced to blow Sunday-night and
Monday It was fearful rough, you
would see big. waves' coming that
looked as though they would bury you.
The ship would go up, up, then down,
down, down, again, until your hair
would begin to crawl for fear she
would not come up again." Just think,
only an inch or two of iron between
you and these roaring waves! On
Tuesday at half past two a. ra. a shaft
In the machinery broke and then we
were helpless. When you go aboard
one of these large ships you feel perfectly safe; you would think it impossible to sink her, but if you could have
seen us that morning and seen how
those waves would pick her up and toss
her around, you'would then have a
pretty good idea of the power of the
ocean in a storm. But as luck would
have it ohe wind went down and in
about.six hours they got her fixed up
and were oft again. We had it stormy
until we got on the banks of Newfoundland. Here, it was calm but very
foggy. They kept tbe fog whistle
blowing, but for all that we nearly
ran into another ship. About day
light one*morning the engines stopped
and father ran up on deck to see what
was ;the matter and another large
steamer crossed our bows so near you
could have thrown your hat on to it.
When he came back he says, "Wasn't
I a big fool when I undertook this
trip. If I ever get my foot on land
HI never try it again,"
iunday afternoon we took the pilbt
We were then 450 miles from
LEew York. We passed Sandy Hook
about six o'clock Monday evening but
did not get to quarentine in time for
the health officers to examine us that
evening so we had to anchor there all
night. As we came up L_Tew York
harbor they gave us a hearty welcome
to America waving the stars and
stripes from all the boats and even;
from the residences on shore. It made
us all- feel that we were welcome home
again. Every body was cheering and
one man felt so good over It he threw
his hat over board.
That night about midnight the terrible storm that has done so much
damage struck LSTew York, and lucky
it was for us that we were in ahead of
it. As it was we had to get up anchor
and go farther up the bay where it was
more sheltered. -LHext morning we
got ready to go ashore. The first thing
was to sign a writing to declare we
had no dutiable articles in our possession. As this was rather risky business for us we put that in father's
hands and let him do the signing for
all of us. He must have signed all
right for some of our baggage the officer did not look at. After signing'the
officer gives you a card, then go ashore
in the custom 'house and wait until
your trunks come ofE the ship, then
you present your card to tbe head officer and he sends another officer with
you to examine your baggage. If he
finds anytbing dutiable then he goes
back to the head man and he makes
out a bill for you to pay. We saw
some parties that were very sorry that
they brought any thing from England.
We got through all right, then we
struck out for a good dinner. We
traveled around LEew York until even-
ihg, took a train on the L3ST. Y. C. for
LMiagara falls, stopped there the next
day, that night came on to Detroit,
then home. We are all well satisfied
with our trip and also satisfied that
America is away ahead of old England
in every respect.      Yours Truly,
Eked Httd so_t. -

Harris <__ Co.
ment,
Assign*
Special to tiie Se__i_,el.
Mt. PtffiASiL-iT, Sept. 15.—Yesterday
afternoon the firm of Tonkin, Harris
& Co. made an assignment to LE. W.
Carr,. Vice President of the LFirst LSfat-
lonal Bank and one of the best financiers of the city. The assets of the firm
are $20,000 In excess of the liabilities.
The cause of the assignment was the
Inability of the firm to realize on paper
they had taken.in payment of stoelt
sold. The home creditors are all well
satisfied and are in no fear of losing-a
cent. Mr. H. H. Graves, the attorney
is very confident that in sixty days all
will be running the same as ever.
Tonkin* Harris & Co. are extensively
engaged, in lumbering and milling in
Isabella, Clare and Gladwin counties,
besides each member of tee firm beihg
largely interested in other industries
both heae ande Isewhere. The embar-
assment will not, however, effect the
other firms or bring innocent hands to
the wall.
' After Last   Fall.
_
Air—"After tlie Ball."
A little boy climbed an old man's knee,
Begged for the reason, "Do papa, please,"
"W_.y are you gloomy, idle, alone?
"Have you no worls:, but loafing at home?"
"I bad a good job, last year, you know;
Why I have none, now, child you shall know;
liis't to the story; Grover, last fall,
I helped elect him, idle, that's all."
CHOBUS.
After the vote was taken, after the change had
come,
After the factories closing,  after the wheels
were dumb;
Many a heart was aching, if you could read
tnem all.
Many a home was darkened, after last fall.
"Bright were the prospects, clouds not in sight,
Happy our homes were, frommorn till night;
Then came the tempter, spoke soft and low,
Fooled us poor workers, how, I don't know.
When we awakened, to what we'd done,
Factories were idle, mills could not run;
Down they all closed, pet, ended, that's all,
Just as our work was, after last faU."
"Long months have passed* child, no work to do
Although I've soughtit for mother and you;
No work to give me, tried to explain,
They could not help it, pleadings are vain;
I knew the season, after 'twas done,
I helped to close up" factories that run;
That's why I'm idle, no work at all,
I lost my job, pet, after last fall."

The Society GlrFs Cherished
Sunburn.
This is the season of the year when
the girls are comparing hands and
cheeks, and boasting on the depth and
richness of their.own cherished coats
of sunburn. Little LBSiss Croesus
whose .hands and arms are so brown
that she need not wear tan gloves
with her ball-gowns, got all her Indian
tinting- while canoeing this season.
One the north shore of Long Island
canoe paddles flashed on every guiet
reach of water, and little Miss Croesus,
who divides her affections between
horses and the canoe, adopted a unique
costume of her own designing. It was
a pair of not too full -khickerbockers
of very lightest serge, pigskin cork-
soled ties, and a not over-full ankle-long
skirt of brownish-black water-proof
cloth. Over her head she drew a short-
sleeved, hlghnecked, dark-blue wool
"sweater."
From shoulders to finger-tips her
arms are satin brown, and as she discarded a hat her cheeks and nice little
nose match the tinting of -her arms.
She all but slept in her canoe; and
perhaps you won't believe it, but I've
seen her go.to a balls in it! There was
a dance at a house along the shore
about a half mile, and as the carriages
were a trifle overcrowded she quietly
slipped that inevitable water-proof
skirt over her silken flounces,drew the
beloved sweater over the decollete
bodice, put her satin slippers in her
skirt's pockets, and paddled alone
under the stars to her neighbor's dock.
When she turned -up in the ball-room
she was as crisp of gown and as calm
of mind as though her arrival had
been made in apadded sedan chair.—
From "Society LFads," in Demorest's
Eamily Magazine for October.    •
The frequent robbing of persons who
have drawn their money out of the
banks should be a warning to others.
There is no place as safe as the banks,
and the smalT depositors who lack confidence shauld reason with themselves
before withdrawing their funds.. All
the business men in the city have con-
flidence in the banks, and this should,
of Itself, be a sufficient guarantee to
those having deposite that the banks
are all right. I_Lo matter how well you
hide your money, there is some person
just as smart, and he finds the hiding
place. Then the money takes wings
and flies away.
