The cantata, Red Riding Hood will

The Manchester masons lost week
gave a third degree in the afternoon to
accommodate some of the older members who could not get out in the evening.
Editor Smith, of the Milan Leader
has kodaked some of the business
houses of the village and from a half
tone from same, gave the view in his
last issue.
Tho Ypsi—Ann motor engine "broke
a few days since-and the people of those
two cities did, and not until then,-realize how conyenient the line was and
is to them.
Rev. J. P. Hutchinson, of Milan, in a
recent sermon said: "To believe In a
future state Is not only reasonable, but
is natural. The Yarubas, after losing
their first born, would say on the birth
of a second child, 'thou art come again'
But suppose the lost first born was a
boy and the newcomer a girl, Elder"?—
Monroe Democrat.
The local Salvation Army captain expresses himself as desirous of having
the American Army seperate from the
English Army. *'We don't want any
Englishmen over here," he said. Bal-
lingtoa Booth, the leader, who was recalled from America, was an Englishman but had become quite thoroughly
Americanized. It looks now as though
the light would result in a division of
the armies.—Argus.
President Angell has been asked by
the society of Sons of American Revolution to offer in their behalf a handsome silver medal as a prize for the
best essay written by a student of the
university on "The Principles Foup*ht
For in the War of the American Revolution." The method of deciding the
contest, etc. is left to him, but the society suggest that the competition be
limited to members of one class, as they
are going to offer a medal here every
year.—Register.
Neal, of Northvillc, is not editing the
Record from Mexico. It seems to us
that a sort of mutual outing association
might be gotten up among us poorer
editors, and when a nice trip comes
along like the Mexican trip a per capita assessment be made sufficient to pay
the expenses of our number. Secin'
as we have mentioned it first, think we
ought to havo first chance, then let
Neal go, and afterwards Stearns ot the
Adrian Press, Smith of the Monroe
Democrat, Beakes of tho Ann Arbor
Argus, and after that some of the Ypsilanti fellers, the Saline Observer man
and Mat Blosser of the Manchester-En~
terprise.—Milan Leader.
The subject of Rev. Sjh.ie'f.'ss discourse
at the Milan M. E,, churoh last Sunday
evening, \\*a5 "CHhep people's faults."
We tn\ve n.a doubt he alluded to poli-
ticairs promises and "tutched'' Cap.
Allen (or promising farmers that wool
shonld be SO cents n pound if Harrison
was elected; tbat he denounced lying
and roasted those congressmen who
have declared themselves in favor of
silver and then voted against its free
coinage last week; that he favored ob-
jsov-vanoe of the Sabbath, aud rounded
up Jim Carr of the Dundee "Reporter
for not attending church; that he denounced inconsistency and criticized
Uncle Cyrus Luce for talking reform
and then voting the republican ticket;
that he opposed selfishness and scored
Judge Kinne for keeping a big tree in
the sidewalk of a pub.Ho street. He
may have found fault with the Monroe
Democrat^ because it had too much
Sunday school literature, but that
WQuld have heen as groundless as to
charge the board of regents with good
sense in hiring a Scotchman to teach
philosophy in the university—Adrian
Press.
Where  Does The Money Go?
The Record believes that the taxpayers of Michigan in each towuship
should see to il that a way is provided
compelling town boards Jaud school
boards to publish an annual report of
their proceedings. The cost of publication would be trilling compared with
tho good results which would be sure
to follow. It is not every township
and scb.oolboa.rd that is so honestly officered as is found in Plymouth township, but even here there is no good
reason why Ihe tux payers should not
know every year just how every cent
of their money has been spent. There
is iu m iny towns through the state,
hundreds of the taxpayers' hard earaefl
dollars sq,uan lei*ed iu yn.rjous ways of
which no Oil6 is eve-.* the wiser simply
because no report is eve*.- made except
orally at tb^e atjjiual meetings. No one
is to blame for this except "we people"
for no provision or appropriations are
made for the purpose of publishing
such reports. This is, we believe, an
important question which the taxpayers ot Michigau should carefully investigate.—ISForthville Record.
Victor Hugo and Politics.
Victor Hugo, in spite of everything
that has heen said to the contrary, was
distinctly not a republican at the outset
of his career, and it is more than questionable whether he would have ever
become the blatant one he 'did if Louis
Philippe and Louis Napoleon had consented to take him at his own valuation
as a statesman. Beranger, who was a
republican pure and simple, notwithstanding his supposed share in the establishment of Louis Philippe on the
French throne, summed up Victor
Hugo's republicanism in one line. One
day, shortly after the February revolution which overtopped that throne—as
it would seem forever—an acquaintance
of Beranger met him coming ont of the
Palais Bourbon. "I shall feel obliged,"
the poet said, "if youwillsee mehome,
for I do not feel at all well. Those violent scenes inside there are not to my
taste."
This, pointing to the erstwhile residence of the illegitimate daughter of
Louis XIV by Mme. de Montespan, better known as the widow of that mischievous dwarf Louis, third duke de
Bourbon-Conde, the small minded and
small bodied son of the great Conde. "I
am not at all well," he repeated with a
wistful smile. "I have been accused of
having held the plank over which Louis
Philippe went to the Tuileries. I wish
I could be the bridge across the channel
on which he wonld return now. Certainly, I would have liked a republic,
but not one such as we are having in
there.'' And his hand pointed once more
to the home of the constituent assembly.
"Yon ought to be pleased," remarked
his interlocutor. "Victor Hugo is in the
Bame regiment with you." "Victor
Hugo is not in the regiment; he is in
the band."—Contemporary .Review.
Churchill's Push.
When Lord Randolph Churchill was
lit Oxford, he was constantly in conflict
with his dean at Merton on the subject
of compulsory chapels, and on one occasion he was sent for to listen to a grand
remonstrance. It was a chilly day, and
the dean was standing with his baqk to
the fire when Lord Randolph entered.
After about ten minutes another delinquent was ushered in, and found Lord
Randolph standing with his back to the
fire and his coattails comfortably upraised, while the unfortunate dean was
arguing away out in the cold, near the
door.

"I always meet trouble half way,"
said the man who had paid half of his
promissory note and arranged for an extension of the other half.—Detroit Free
Press.
Absolutely Pure Grape Juice.
Speer's unfermented grape juice is
so perfectly divested of all fermenting
principle by electricity and fumigation
that if uncorked and half a bottle used
and well corked up again immediately
and placed up side down in a cool place
it will keep for months; but if allowed
to come in contact with the air in a
warm temperature It will absorb the
fermenting germ from the air and will
not keep good, hut will ferment and become slightly alcoholic. For sale by
