A. Letter From Mid-Ocean.
R. M. S. "Campania" Sept. 18, '02.
Dear Friends :—
According to my promise I
pen you a few lines descriptive of my
trip to the "Old World," a trip filled
with living interest to the inquiring
mind of an American.
We now have been five days at sea,
having sailed from New York Saturday noon, September' 13th, during
which time the 30,000 horse power engines of the "Campania," have driven
us a distance of nearly 2,400 miles (480
miles per day) consuming 500 tpns of
coal per day in the five score fires that
burn below. A white trail of foam
flecked water, 100 feet wide, is left by
the throbbing screw. 1,100 persons
' including 400 iri tbe crew are aboard,
just a comfortable load for an ocean
liner.
The weather although uniformly
calm, has grown cooler since passing
the Gulf StreaEp and crossing the
"Newfoundland banks.
Several steamers and sailing crafts
have been sighted, wireless telegraphy being used when communicating
•with Gurnard Line boats. After
twelve days at my fraternal home at
Grand Blanc, Michigan, 1 took the
new palatial lake steamer, Western
States, at Detroit for Buffalo. A
twelve hour run through the storm
brought us to the "Pan' American
Oity," from whence I proceeded to the
Parsons'homestead at Marcellus, 3ST.
Y. On Sunday I spoke in the church
Dyer which my gieat, great grandfather was for thirty-two years pastor.
The Lebign Valley Express affords
& pleasant scenic route over the mountains to the city of "Brotherly Love."
Independence Hall,containing tbeLib-
erty Bell ahd other objects of deep
historic interest, '""The Old Flag
House," the graves of Rush and of
Franklin, the new TJ, S, mint, Girard
College and Fairmouth Park of Centennial fame, were among the objects
visited in Philadelphia,
I found New York Oity enveloped in
a cloud of black, Soft coal f-moke, one of
many evidences of the baneful effects
of the strike.
An excellent birdfieye view bf
Greater Nevy York was the reward of
a climb of 270 feet to the crown of
the Liberty Statute, whose torch is
•within, view Of 8,000,000 people, and
whose base is protected by a row of
TJ. S. cannon. Park Row building,
thirty-three stories high, was also visited, which is the highest building in
the world. The presses of the New
York World were calculated to "impress" a visitor to Printing House
Square with a sense, of the potent
powers in printer's ink. Here are
grouped the World, the Sun, the
Times office buildings, aud a score of
other offices in close proxmity to
Brooklyn bridge, presided over by tbe
illustrious Greeley and Franklin.
Under the shadow of the bridge
stands another monument, tbe Mc-
Auley or Water Street Mission, which
I visited at night, monument to a converted river thief. A ramble through
Wall street and up Broadway to Fifth
avenue brought one a conception of
the recent and the marvelous development of the Metropolis, for new steel
sky-scrapers quite overshadow Trinity
church, and Bowling Green and Wail
street appears embarassingly narrow
under the new regemine.      ,/-
Central Park, Madison and Union
Squares and the Battery are still attracting thousands, who there seek a
glimpse of nature with an hours recreation, Theoroject to tunnel North
River will, if carried ont, greatly
faciliate travel and commerce between
Jersey City and New York, while the
new .East River bridge, now nearly
completed, will materially lesson the
enormous strain now imposed upon
the old Suspension bridge.
<The shore lines of America melted
into the gray mist as the "Campania"
steered for the open sea about 3:00 p.
m. Saturday, August 13th. Sometime
tomorrow we expect to sight the
shores of the Emerald Isle, and from
Queenstown to send a New York mail,
I proceed to London from Liverpool
Saturday In company with Mr. W. H,
Frost of Philadelphia and Mr. D; W.
Hoste of.Shanghl, general director of
the Ohida Inland Mission, in whose
company I am crossing the Atlantic.
It is pleasing to reflect that distance
Cannot separate friends because it ia
impossible for time to obliterate pleas*
ant recollections. Hence, although
thousands or miles may intervene-between us, Olare shall ever remain a
bright spot in my, memory, sacred
with the ties of friendship and home,
As ever I am,
Yours truly, -

game resulting in a draw. Rev. N. D.
Potter is greatly aiding the team by his
efficient coaching. Four strictly high
school games have been arranged,
two with Evart and two with Reed

A Dove Is His Mascot.
Secretary Dennis E. Alward of the
Republican state central committee
has a mascot' which he thinks is sure
to bring the Republican campaign out
all right. Ever since he established
his own office in the corner room of
thecorner suite on £be eighth floor
occupied by thecommittee,he has had
a handsome pigeon for a regular caller.
The bird seems to have a particular
likintr "tor the sills of Mr. Alward's
window. When the windows are open
he comes ln frequently and walks
gravely along the ledge inside of the
window. Mr. Alward does not know
yet whehter he is a genuine f,dove of
peace" Or only, a counterfeit, but is
sure he "will prove a mascot in any
event.—Detroit Journal, Sept, 30th.

Political Pointers.
The name of Judge Dodds of Mt.
Pleasant, Clare county's circuit judge,
was presented to the Republican state
judicial convention at Grand Rapids
last Thursday by our townsman, Ex-
Mayor p. E. Alward. Mr, Alward
stated to the delegates there assembled that on behalf of the eleventh
congressional district with its 10,000
Republican majority he desired to
call their attention to Judge Dodds,
witb'the hope that at some future
time the candidate of the eleventh
district would receive the nomination
of the convention.
At the Republican state convention
last Thursday congressman E. L.
Hamilton, chairman of the convention, made a most respectful allusion
to Judge Durand's illness. Immediately a hush fell on that body of men
and then a spontaneous cheer rose
from tbe lips of all of them. May
that spirit go on developing- until all
rancor and personal vindicativeness
shall disappear from politics.
