Leaving Emery Out in the Cold.

The Toledo, Ann Arbor and NorthMichigan railroad have under seriousconsideration the straightening ofthe line of their railroad betweenthis station and Whitmore Lake,andespecially to avoid the sharp curveat Emery. Several lines have beenrun by the surveyor which wouldleave Emery station out by a mileor a mile and a half, and there hasbeen a littl e excitement among thoseresiding near Emery. It does notappear probable that any changewill be made now, though it wouldnot be surprising if some day, whenthe road was out of th£ hands of areceiver, if such^aiji^hange would bemade.

The Wi son Bill Passes.The Wilson bill passed the House

ast evening by IbM majority andimid great excitement. Reed,>isp and Wilson made greatpeeches. Only seventeen demo-

crats could be mustered against thejill . The duty on barley was raisedive per cent. Speaking of the votehe Washinston correspondent ofhe Free Press says:

"Every Michigan democrat was re-corded on this roll of honor in theffirmative. Gorman came from hisjed of pain and staid all through theafternoon, and voted on every bal-ot. The democrats cheered himor his great pluck. He suffered

much, but he staid by until the fin-sh and then was driven back to his

sick bed with the consciousness ofduty done."

a representative of the Argus paid avisit to the carriage factory andwarerooms of Walker Bros., on W.Liberty street. He was mosc agree-ably surprised at the push and en-terprise of this hustling firm, for,although on every hand he hadheard the cry "dull t imes" at thisplace he found the proprietorscheerful and hopeful. The firstfloor of their fine new building wascompletely filled with carriages, har-nesses, whips and blankets and thesecond floor was nearly filled withcarriages, while on the third floorwere stored carriage trimmings andfixings. The work rooms werestocked with parts and parcels ofcarriages which were being put inshape for the spring trade in carri-age building, which the firm thinkswil l be quite heavy. Walker Bros,are to be congratulated for theirperseverance and business pluckwhich is bound to insure success.

Tracing Stolen Shoes.The shoe dealers of Ypsilanti

lave been somewhat excited over atransient shoe dealer locating for ashort time there. They tried to getan ordinance passed requiring alicense, etc., but that wouldn'twork. The transient advertised aDouglas $3 shoe for $2.25. One ofthe local dealers, knowing that alldealers who handle the Douglasshoe, have to sign a contract not tosell for more or less than the namedprice, sent over and bought one ofthe shoes, which he found to be aDouglas shoe. He notified Doug-las who wrote back that they hadnever sold shoes to such a man andasked to have the shoes forwarded.They discovered by a private markthat the shoes belonged to a lotwhich had been shipped to Bay Cityand stolen out of a Michigan Cen-tral car while in transit to that city.The Central had to pay $185 forthe shoes. Detective de Rosier ofthe Central force, has been workingup the case.,

The

The Resumption of Bnsiness..

From all parts of the countrycomes the news of the revival ofbusiness. Al l indications seem topoint to a gradual resumption ofbusiness operations. From Char-lotte comes the news that the Ben-nett furniture factory, one of thelargest in the state, has informed itsemployes that the old scale ofwages will be restored at once. Thisfirm has been running right along,but under a reduction of wages.Advices from Detroit also state thatwork in the various manufacturingfirms there will start up gradually.The Detroit Bridge and Iron workswil l soon start and will increase theforces as work seems to warrant.The Griffin Car Wheel works nowemploy about 80 per cent, of theirusual force and are working fulltime. The Art Stove works is run-ning full time with the greater partof its force, and the Michigan Storeworks are running five days a weekwith a force of about 1,400 men.The Peninsular, which has been run-ning with a small force, has nowstarted both founderies and employs.700 men. The Michigan-Peninsu-lar Car works are starting up gradu-ally and increasing the number of-employes as business increases.

Similar cheering reports comefrom the East. The CaUlwell LawnMower Company, of Newberg, N.J., recently started up with moreorders than it had last year at thistime. The Brockaw Manufacturingcompany of the same place hasposted a large sign, offering to giveemployment to all sewing machineoperators who apply. The printmill s of Garner & Co., at WappingerFalls, Dutchess County, are nowrunning until 9 o'clock at night.Twenty-five hundred people have

one to work in Yonkers since Jan-uary 1. Alexander Smith and Sons'arpet mills, the largest in the

United States which have beenclosed dowa since last July are nowrunning with a force ot 2,oco men.Al l the silk mills at Patterson, NevrJersey, which closed down in Augustand September are now running

ain.Very little, it is said, of the pres-

ent product goes to the stock room,and there is but littl e stock in thehands of jobbers and agents. Thisleads manufacturers to believe thatthe spring trade will be fully up tothat of last year.

The Charity Ball.

The charity ball wil l be held inthe Masonic Temple, Tuesday even-ing, February 6, and it will un-doubtedly be one of the great socialevents of the season, besides nettinga large fund to make many deserv-

The Children's Fancy Dance Party.The Juvenile fancy dress dancing

party, given by Mr. and Mrs. RossGranger at their academy on May-nard street, Wednesday evening,was a very successful affair. Theprogram, beginingw'th the Kaleido-scope by the class, included theSailor's Hornpipe,Fan Danc.e,Dance

Charity Ball an Assured Success.

That the charity ball wil l be a decided success is now assured. Everydetail is being carefully arranged bythe various committees. Masonichall, which has been kindly offeredby the different masonic bodies, isexcellently arranged for entertain-ng a large crowd, as the recentKnights Templars' reception demon-strated that fully 600 persons couldbe assembled in their hall without*crowding, and the commodiousparlors will furnish abundent room[or those who desire to go and notdance.

The hall is being beautifully deco-rated and the refreshment com-mittee is making arrangements toattend to the dancers' wants in thisdirection.

At least 300 tickets should besold, as in no way can more be donefor the needy.

The committees have been chosenwith special reference to makingthis a general charity ball and itshould be attended by both mer-chants, citizens, University prof-fessors and students, for wherecharity is the object,there should benone to stand back or hesitate.

There will be no expenses andthe total receipts will go to the causefor which this ball is to be givenWhile it was first voted that halfthe receipts should go to the north-ern sufferers and half to the deserv-ing poor of the city, it now seemsprobable that most of the funds willremain in this city. Let every onebuy a ticket.

Everything is up to dateand patrons of fun are promised atreat. The Two Johns will appearat the Grand Opera House, nextMonday evening.

Prince of Wales' Bracelet.I t is probably not generally known

that the Prince of Wales wears a brace-let on his left wrist. On a recent occa-sion when he appeared in public thegleam of the golden bangle was noticedby a very few individuals, and amongthose who noticed it there was an inter-change of wondering glances. The wear-ing of the bracelet is not, however, fop-pishness on the part of his royal high-ness, for the bangle has a history: Itbelonged originally to Maximilian, theil l fated emperor of Mexico, and it is acherished possession of the prince's.—London Tit-Bits.

i any other class, and yet our laws havebeen made against them and in favorof less numerous classes that were

CATARRH TWENTY YEARS.

Three Hundred Dollars Spent for Treat-ment in Vain.

This is what Dr. Hartman's freecourse of treatment did for me: Iwas sick for eighteen or twenty yearsand did not know what was the mat-ter with me. I expectorated a gray,sticky mucous from the throat. Ev-ery time I took cold my throat gotsore, and I would have fever. I hadcatarrh in my head, and it com-menced to affect my eyes. My nosewas stopped up, and every morningI had coughing spells. I consultedseveral physicians, one of whomsaid he could cure me in six months.I kept on doctoring until I spent

;oo, and was not any better, butkept gradually growing worse untilI was confined to the bed. I gotsome Pe-ru-na and it cured thecatarrh in my head and my eyes arebetter. I don't have any more dizzyspells, my head feels clear, I canbreath through my nose, and mythroat is cured. My voice is clear.My appetite is good and I sleep well.When I began taking Pe-ru-na iweighed only 121 pounds, but nowI weigh 135. I wish I could tell ev-ryone about Pe-ru-na, so that thous-

ands more would be cured.OTTO F. LOSENSKI,

I would be compelledto sit up in bed and belch gas from my stom-ach until I thought every niinui* would l«-my last. There was a feeling of oppressionabout my heart, and I was afraid to driw afull breath. I couldn't sweep a room >viil>-out sitting down and resting; but, thankGod, by the help of New Heart Cure n!! thatis past and I feel like another wom;ui. W-fore using the New Heart Cure 1 bad takendifferent so-called remedies and been treaii-dl-vi'oiors without any benefit until J waa1 >Ucouraged and disgusted. My husband1 ' . r, me a bottle of Dr. Miles' New Heartc .,. , and am happy to say I never regrettedIt, as 1 now have a splendid'appetite andsleep well. I weighed 125 pounds when ] lie-van taking the remedy, and now ] weigh ISO!*.Its effect in my case has been truly marvel-ous. I t far surpasses any other medicine 1have ever taken or any benefit I ever re-ceived from physicians."—Mrs. Harry Starr,Pottsville, Pa., October 12,1892.

Scliwaab.I t was an awfully wet day. I and a cousin

of mine, Al Carmtax, of Barbour, Va.,though practicing law in New York, foundourselves at Squire Pennington's tavern onthe Sassafras river, east shore of Maryland,By dinner time (and a capital dinner thesquire gave us) the barroom was full,though it would have been fuller, perhaps,if they hadn't "local option."

Well, after dinner we all fell to talking.You know how sociable they get south ofMason and Dixon's liue who go duck snoot-ing. One thiug led to another, til l we be-gan guessing where the others "hailedfrom." I confess it made me mad when abig countryman from across the line inCecil county reckoned I was "from out \ve«teomewhar," but the fun came in when asmooth shaven, round faced, big paunchedchap, called Schwaab by our host, spoke up.

"Now, vare you dink I was from, eh? Vatgoundrymans vould you dink I was?"

Dead silence. The audacity of Her?Schwaab was quite appalling. But a wiukfrom Pennington gave Al the cue.

"You're from Boston."Schwaab grinued."Noa, note zo bod os dot."Another guessed South Carolina, another

California, aud my friend from Cecil coun-ty ventured the opinion that he was a Span-lard.

"Now, you vas a voolin," said Schwaab," I zee dot in your eye. Veil, you giff i t up,eh? I dought yon vonld. I z'bect, vundime or annuder I vool more as a hundertbeebles. I bees a Cherman. Haw, haw,haw!"—Life.

THE CITY WINS.Juilge Taft Decides Against tlie Citizens'

Street Railway Company.

DETROIT, Feb. 1.—Judge Taft's de-cision in the -mit of the city of Detroit

against the Citi-zens' Street Rail-way company wash a n d ed downfrom the benchof the UnitedStates court by.fudge S w anWednesday fore-noon. This is asuit in equitybrought by the

JUDGE w. H. TAI-T. cjty of Detroit foran injunction to compel the DetroitCitizens' Railway company to cease therunning of its cars and to remove itsrailway tracks from the streets of thecity.

In the introduction of his opinion.Judge Taft gives a concise resume ofthe steps that have been taken in thecase, and then goes on to recite and dis-cuss the matter of estoppel, which wasthe question argued before him in thiscity two weeks ago. In his opinion thegist of the whole controversy lay in thequestion of the effect of the invalidityof the extension until 1909 upon theordinance of 1879. He believes thatwhile the extension was void ag a bind-ing stipulation upon the city, the ordi-nance as a contract was only voidable:in other words, the extension may havebeen the consideration for many of theobligations assumed by the company, butthe ordinance as a contract was work-able until May, 9,1893. Of all the moneyspent by the new company, all bnt svery small amount was spent after thecity had declared by ordinance its in-tention to insist on the invalidity of thegrant beyond 1898.

After reviewing the case in all itsphases the judge concludes as follows:

Let a decree be entered enjoining theCitizen's Street Railway company fromoccupying the streets of Detroit withits railway tracks, except on the linesof the Congress and Baker and Cassavenue lines, and from running theircars thereon after four months fromthe entering thereof, and enjoining thecity from taking any action under theordinance of March 29, 1892, to inter-fere with the operation of the Congressand Baker and Cass avenue lines by thecompany.

The costs will be taxed to the defend-ants.

I have given the four months' timebecause if the tracks are to be removedthis will not be an unreasonable time.I t will also afford an opportunity for anadjustment of this trouble. He closedby expressing the opinion that the mu-nicipal authorities would act honorablyand not take advantage of the positionin which the compauy is thus placed. Healso advised a compromise.

STATE BANKING LAW.

I t Is Fully Sustained by the SupremeCourt.

LANSING, Jan. 27.—In a unanimousopinion written by Justice Montgom-ery, the supreme court Friday affirmedthe constitutionality of the generalbanking law of the state. The case wasthat of Edward J. Bissell. receiver ofthe Milford State bank, which failed inSeptember, 1891, vs. Francis Heath, oneof the stockholders of that institution.

The const), itionality of the bankinglaw was attacked oa the followinggrounds: First, that the title is double;second, it attempts to confer upon thereceiver the judicial power to adjudi-cate claims to be paid in the course ofliquidation: third," that as applied tothe present case, it impairs the obliga-tions of contracts made by shareholdersbefore its passage, by imposing a lia-bilit y not before that time existing.The court considered all these objec-tions at length. All were overruled,and the constitutionality of the lawfully sustained.

MATRIMONIAL .

A forlorn figure she was. She was Bit-ting on her trunk at a landing on the"Danks of Bed river, waiting for the downboat. About her was a group of amused

t sympathetic bystanders, »nd shewas telling them her story.

" I answered it in good faith," she said."Here is his advertisement. I cut itfrom a matrimonial agency paper."

She took the clipping from her pocketand read it aloud, her black eyes snap-ping dangerously:

I am a widower, 34 years old. I live, with mytwo littl e girle, upon my cotton plantation. Ihave 1,000 acres, more or less, my own unin-cumbered property, situated on the beautifulBayou St. Lucas. 1 have a nice cottage homoembowered in vines, with gardens, chickens,cows, harness and saddle horses, flowers, fruit

every comfort except a wife. With a view t«"applying the dellciency, I ask a correspond-enoe with some respectable young lady, hopingto persuade her to

"Share my cottage, gentle maid.It only waits for thee

To add a sweetness to its shadeAnd happiness to me."

References exchanged.ALEXANDER GRAVTIXE.

" I answered that advertisement," saidthe black eyed girl sitting on the zinc^covered trunk.

" I was a teacher in a small privateschool in New York. The work was hard;the pay was poor. I had a stepmotherat home and a houseful of small halftoothers and sisters. I wanted to getaway. I—I—had had a—disappointment"—the black eyes filled—"and I was un-happy. I had read 'Jane Eyre' and I—Teally thought that man might be anoth-er Rochester. We corresponded. Hegave the postmaster as reference. Iwrote to the postmaster, and he answeredthat Mr. Graville's character and stand-ing were all right. He had a good farm,he was honest and paid his debts.

"Mr. Graville wanted me to come onand be married at his home. I drewwhat money I had saved out of the sav-ings bank, sold my watch and came on.My stepmother was glad to get rid afme. I got here yesterday. He had saidhe would meet me at this landing—itwould be a pleasant ride out to his cot-tage. I had written a letter just beforeI left, saying when I would arrive. Ifound nobody to meet me. I asked theway to Mr. Alexander Graville's. No-body could tell until an old darky sungont:

" 'Dat white 'oman mus' mean oleSandy Gravel. He live back here in thewamp, but he ain't got no ca'age to sendfor nobody. Got nuthin but er cyart.Hit's here now. His son Ben driv' into git some pervisions.'

" 'Has he a son?11 asked." 'Got a swarm of 'em,' was the an-

swer. 'All done married but Ben.'"My mind misgave me, but I had no

place to go to—no money, so I hunted upBen and told him I was going to his fa-ther's house. He was a freckled, patched,stupid looking young man. He lookedat me with eyes and mouth open inamazement and was so bashful that I re-frained from asking questions. I neverhinted to Ben that I had come on to behis stepmother.

"On we drove, over stumps and rootsand gullies—through mud and swamps.I t seemed to be 20 miles. At last we drewap beiiore a dingy, two roomed housewith a shed at the back. A few scruggypeach trees and a neglected grapevinewere the only green things in the yardbeside the weeds. A woman was milk-ing a scrawny cow in front of the gate.She had her back to us and a sunbonneton. Two shock headed, barelegged chil-dren sat on the fence. They gave thealarm when they saw a stranger in thecart, and a man, who had been squattedin a fence corner holding off the calf gotup and came toward us.

" 'That's pap,' said Ben."He looked nearer 60 than 35. He was

grizzle and snaggle toothed; his neckwas red and wrinkled. He came up tothe cart. He was agitated and chewedMs tobacco wonderfully fast. I got upfrom the flour sack.

" 'I am Amelia Jones.'"He turned very red and told his son

to carry the sack of flour into the house." 'I wasn't expectin you,' he said. 'It's

so long since you wrote.'" 'You have deceived me,' I burst out.

'You said you had a nice home, em-bowered in vines and fruit trees. Yousaid you were 35. You said you had

y two littl e girls. You said you wererich'

" 'No, I didn't,' he interrupted. 'I saidI had 1,000 acres of land—so I hare—though a big part of it is swamp. Acresdon't make folks rich in these parts.This ain't New York. I said I was 35.I didn't say I was a few years over, for.Pm spry and young enough for any wo-man. I said I had two littl e girls livinwith me—said nuthin about the boys.They're all big fellows and married andgone, 'cept Ben. As for the house, ain'tthat a good house?—double pen and ashed to boot! Don't leak unless it rains;vcid got a first rate chimney. And ain"thera a vine? And what's the mattewith them peach trees—ain't therefruit?'

" 'And do you imagine any young wo-man in her senses would marry you andlive here?' I cried.

" 'Do I? Well, there's no imaginationabout it. There's three women havemarried me and lived here. Two o&'em'sdead and buried, and yonder standsf other. I couldn't hear from you. I con-cluded you was playin me a Yankeetrick; couldn't wait nohow. So I mar-ried Miss Susan Barnes, and if you sayshe ain't a young woman in her senses,why, she'

" 'Why, I'l l show her—that's what I'l ldo,' said Mrs. Graville No. 3, droppingher milk pail and rolling up her sleevesas she came to the side of the cart.

" I begged Ben to drive me back to theriver, and here I am—waiting to take thefirst boat. I've played the fool, and I'mpunished. It's crushed all the silly ro-mance out of me. How I'm to pay mypassage, I don't know. I'll offer to dochambermaid's work.

"But this Miss Amelia Jones was notforced to do. 'Ole Sandy Graville' cameto the front. He proved to be not sucha bad jot afterall. He rode up presently

on a "bony mustaffjr anu proiiiplly gavethe littl e 'Yankee schoolmarm' enoughmoney to tyay her passage back, with anadditional sum to cover the expense of Iher coming. He had drawn on his cot-ton crop. He looked cast down and 'sheepish. He explained to his friends inthis wise:

" 'I was a fool—a doggone fool, bat 1meant it all honest. I put a kind of rosecolor over things in that advertisement.It's the way you do in the papers, so thatyoung postmaster said. He put me upto it. He wrote the ad and the letters.I really spected to marry her, but I'dgive my promise to Susan in a kinderjoky way, and she held me to it. I didn'thear from t'other one. Bayou was upand critters all in the plow, and I ain'tbeen to the postoffice in full six weeks.I'm awfnl sorry to disappint the girl,but, Lor' sakes! shenever would 'a' suited.Nice lookin—a fair daisy—but Susancould jes' go all around her doin house-work, let 'lone talrin a hand in the crop,in the press of choppin out or cottonpickin.'"

Miss Jones did not return to New Yorkat once. She remained in the neighbor-hood several weeks, hospitably entertain-ed by old Captain Stewart, a war vet-eran, and his wife. She very nearly de-cided to become the governess of thecaptain's littl e granddaughter and casther lot with the "big hearted southern-ers," as she called us, in spite of her ex-periences with the eccentric widower ofBayou St. Lucas.

But one day there came to her a letterwith a Ne ŷ York postmark. On seeingthe handwriting, Amelia turned firstpale, then rosy red. It was from therecreant lover, and he asked to be for-given and taken back.

Womanlike, she was ready to forgether wrongs. She took leave of the friendsshe had made under such queer circum-stances and returned to her northernhome. A month later she wrote to Mrs.Stewart:

"Congratulate me, good friends. I ammarried to Jack and happy as a queen.Tell this, please, to Mr. 'Alexander Gra-ville.' He may suffer some lingering re-morse for 'disappointing* me, and I bearhim not a bit of il l will."—Mary E. Bry-an in Atlanta Constitution.

Points That Interest an American In theScotch Metropolis.

"Let me take you tomorrow to seeour municipal buildings, and you wil lBee a palace which cost several millionsof your dollars, of which sum not asixpence was stolen nor jobbed," re-marked a Glasgow bailie to a BostonHerald correspondent, who was hisguest.

.Next morning I went to the munici-pal buildings—what we would call thecity hall, writes this correspondent. Ifound the place no less palatial than ithad been described to me. It is far andaway the most beautiful building ofthe kind I have ever seen. Its marbles,its stairways, its reception rooms, areexceedingly beautiful; its businessrooms are in admirable taste. Thebuilding is the palace of a king—KingDemos—and no crowned colleague has ja lovelier dwelling.

There were no loafers in the balls;no large jawed politicians were holdingup the exquisite iron gates; no officeseekers were sprinkling the yard withstrong laiv;;iage and tobacco juice; theplace was more than respectable—it wasattractive.

In this palace of King Demos thereare state apartments most richly be-decked; there are a drawing room, adancerooni, a banquet room, und 1 knownot what, and these apartments areused on festive occasions when officialcitydom is expected to disport itself tothe credit of the community—whichlatter by one, two, three, four or morethousand lepresentatives comes to joiuin the gaytty.

The mayor of Glasgow is called thelord provost. He is chosen for threeyears at nothing a year. He is expect-ed to live in some state and hospitalityand to uphold the gentle dignity of thetown. It costs him from $10,000 to$15,000 or $20,000 annually to do this,as circumstances serve. Obviously it iseasier for a rich man than it is forcamel to enter the provostship of Glas-gow. But the Glaswegians proposethat if the camel be not available, thenshall not the rich man have it all hisown way. They talk now of endowingthe provostship, so that the sums nec-essarily spent upon splendor may hence-forth come from the public purse. Butthey do not propose to give the lordprovost a salary. His services must begratuitous as before.

Glasgow is a solid looking town.Every building is of stone, after theScotch way. One rarely sees brick inScotland. The ribs of the hills are dugout for building withal, so that aScotch town seems built to endure.Wherever you go you find stone stairsin the buildings of Glasgow.

The difference between British build-ing and American is not more markedthan in this matter of stone stairwaysand brick partition walls—dwellinghouses, I mean, as well as warehouses.

Deeming it necessary to prevent theconstruction of sky cleaving buildings,which shut out light, air and every-thing but ugliness, the Glasgow folkenacted a law that no building shall behigher than the width of the street onwhich it fronts. Yon can build a milehigh if you have a thoroughfare as wideas that.

A capital thing they have inOlasgowwhich we have not. The municipalityhas constructed a number of bath-houses, fitted with huge white tiledswimming tanks, each holding from80,000 to 100,000 gallons of water. Thewater is kept at a temperature of 70 de-grees. These baths are open day andevening throughout the year. Tho ad-mission to these baths is 4 cents per per-son. Half a million bathers use thesetanks in a year. Connected with thebath buildings are washhouses whereworkingmen's wives do their familylaundry work, having for a charge of5 cents per hour the use of a washingstall with hot and cold water and steamdrying appliances.

To grow old gracefully, one mustlive temperately, calmly, methodically;be interested in all that isgoingpn inthe world; bfl cheerful, happy, and con-tented, and above all, keep the bloodpure and vigorous by the use of Ayer'sSarsaparilla. Be sure you get Ayer's.
