December was born barefooted. Work on the automatic telephone between Ypsilanti and this city is in progress. There will be a mission service in Bethlehem Germán Evangelical church, tomorrow evening. Dr. John Kapp, on bis return from Grayling, exhibited some dead deer as the result of his aim. For pasting bilis on telephone poles, Sam McCarthy recently paid the city, through Justice Pond as agent, $$. An "old folks' " concert took place at the A. M. E. church, Friday night. The bazaar closed on that evening. , The six year old son of Mrs. Oscar Wenner, of Detroit, died Sunday. Mrs. Wenner is a sister of Sheriff Brenner. Last Sunday, at the Presbyterian church, the rite of baptism was administered to the infant son of Mr. and Mrs. W. J. Miller. George Risdon, Saturday, paid Justice Pond the price of one day's rental of the sidewalk as a wagon road, the amount being $1.50. Stoves have been placed in the street cars. This innovation may be resisted by the Arctic blooded public, but we suppose the corporation will have its way. The song recital by Mr. and Mrs. Max Heinrich was a thoroughly enjoyable, artistic treat. Mr. Heinrich is deservedly regarded as a master of the bailad and the folk song, but is excellent in every branch of music. - Ypsilantian. The funeral of John Flynn, who died suddenly, Wednesday, of heart disease, was held Friday morning, at St. Thomas' church, Rev. Fr. Kelly conducting the services. The remains were buried in the Northfield cemetery. Mr. Flynn was a veteran of the i-jth Michigan, and was 64 years of age. vA Theosophical class was established in this city, last week, by Claude Falls Wright, the reincarnator. It will meet weekly each Wednesday evening, at the residence of Mrs. S. T. Fisk, 42 East Liberty street. Open to all. The disciples of the doctrine may not be many, but the subject is interesting. Among the many Thanksgiving weddings of the present year, few, probably, weje more pleasant than that of Miss Bertina Bliss and Fred J. Keeler, of Houghton. The ceremony took place at the residence of the bride's mother, Mrs. M. E. Bliss, 93 South Main street, Rev. J. W. Bradshaw officiating. The presents were all of an elegant order, including a $100 bilí, from the parents of the groom. The newly tnarried couple departed shortly after the wedding repast for their northern home. Cleveland's minstrels, last night, gave an excellent entertainment. A concert will shortly be given at Dundee, by a company sent out by the Ann Arbor Organ Company. Reports from Kalamazoo show the Glee and Banjo club to have escaped unhurt and really much admi red. The Epworth League of the M. E. church will, Saturday evening, organize a glee club, under direction of Prof. Stanley. The dedication of Zion Lutheran Germán church will take place Sunday, December 16. A number of prominent speakers will be present. Mrs. Hanah L. Lucas died Saturday night, at the residence of her daughter, Mrs. Helen A. Butts. The funeral will be held at 2 p. m. today. Dr. Herdman will lecture next Sunday noon in the audience room of the Presbyterian church, on the "Miracles of Christ" to the large class of students in attendance. "Shine" Walker, colored, for publicly forgetting that Ann Arbor is not tropical at this season of the year and that the date is not before the fall of Adam, will be examined befoie Justice Pond Thursday, charged with masquerading in the garb of a nude. Much glory proceeds from Ann Arbor. On top of the two recent U. of M. football victories, flashes the triumph last Thursday f our '98, over the high school team of Grand Rapids. Ann Arbor can be locat d from any point in the state, by the nimbus around it. Those who have doubted the efficacy of the transfusión of blood, should have attended the rejuvenation of the oíd Milán lodge, No. 75 I. O. O. F., last week, when Ann Arbor Cantón went down there by special car a performed the operation. Eleven new members were added. "S. A. J.," in the Evening Times of Saturday, in humorous verse takes off the late controversy between the ministers over the "doxy" of Daniel Webster and Whittier. lt was about time somebody took hold and helped the clergymen to let go of the subject. Gen. Alger takes a seat at the organ concert for $500. James E. Scripps takes ten tickets at $25 each and will doublé the number with any other Detroiter. The regents take $1,000 worth and President Angelí $200 worth, and University professors various large amounts in tickets. Fourteen people shoved their "nether legs" under the Thanksgiving table at the Keystone club house, at Zukey Iake, at the expense of President Ferguson. Thus was fulfilled the old adage "every man has his turn at the top of the wheel." About one turn at the top is all that any member of the club is anxious for. John Parker left his farm in Lapeer to spend Thanksgiving in Ann Arbor, but, although he could get no whiskey in the city, such was the force of habit with him that he staggered, the same as though he actually had been drinking, and so fooled Deputy Brenner that he arrested him and Justice Gibson sent him to jail for eight days in lieu of $5 and costs. A brace of college students, Saturday evening, fascinated by the possibilites .that attach to games of chance, threw dice with their shirts as the stakes. The loser buttoned his overcoat collar high, although the weather was mild and explained to a lady acquaintance on the street that he bad been seized by a severe attack of sore throat, and "really he couldn't linger but must go right to his room. Good night Miss - ." "Noight. Awful sorry for you!" Mrs. Norma Jackson has decided to postpone the production of a musical program in Ann Arbor till some date subsequent to the holidays. Then, instead of "The Culprit Fay" she will with the aid of the best talent to be secured in the city, produce the grand opera of the Bohemian Girl. We believe the change to the popular opera just named will be very acceptable. Mrs. Jackson is a lady of high repute in musical 'circles and widely known in connection with operas and operettas.
