It is no trouble to sell a book that everybody wants, which is the case with the one John handles. Thoro should be a gasoline lamp and post placed on Spring street, near the tone wal! at the foot of the hill on the old Bower property. The place is a langerous one for ladies to pass after lark. Our merchants and others should pond hberally to the eommittee solicitng subscriptions for the spoed preniums at the county fair, for without good races the fair will not amount to much. And still the walk at the crossing of he Toledo road on Catherine street reïains in tho same dilapidated condition. 'he first thing the city knowns it will ïave somo accident to pay for on account f this walk. n a-T i-rtTiíCT i TI "■ - - ' - itizens availed themselves of an umty to view ihe new hall being fitted ip by tbe inasonic frateruity in their new temple.

We understand lat they will establish a barraaks here 'he manner in which the hoodlums and amins followed them through the itreets in the evening and hooted and ïisaed at them, was disgraceful in the xtrcm-, iuul bUouW Ixí put a stop to by ie authorities. 'iheso peoplc are en tled to all the protiction that is due to ny one, and tbey should have it. A writor in the Whitinoro Lake Sun uis this to say of Ann Arbor's li. li.: l'ho T. a. A. & N. M., is constantly managed by gentlomauly officials and inployees and is beooming a good road. Ono thing we notice that was a very leasing attraction, and a thmg of very are occurreuco m raüroads ; that is the irectness of this road. It runs in a ontinuous straight line for many miles. n fact there aro but two slight curves etween Aun Arbor and Toledo. If you 'int i nico ridc and pleasant mghts, go 0 Toledo with the next excursión." A Massachusetts state senator remarks: It is hard to please one's constituent. 1 few days after I went to the senate for ie first timo I made my maiden speech. luid myself out on it, and I thought it vas a daiay. After I got through I went ut, and there I met Air. Finnerty, who oastedof having 'more political infioo nee than auy dommed man in the - tb vard.' He was red in the face and very Bgry about sometüiiiíf. 'wnats tne natter?' I inquired. 'Matter,' he replied ; we want you to distinctly understaud with emphasis) that we didn't elect for ■ou for apache makiug. What we want of yoa LuLftiUyi vlLiurt nuil (iifcijovuly; iloiamed little of that.' " The Detroit Free Press in speaking of ' Burr Oaks" combination, has the folowing praise for thein: The interesting Irama of " Burr Oaks" was revived at White's Theater last night in the presence of an audionce that nearly fllled the immense auditorium. The scenio effects are a trifle lees heavy and pretrntions ;han they were last season, but there is quite euough in that way to give the ilay all needed embellishmeDts ; and he story ís one of continuous and ihnlling interest . Eyery act and every scène was received with many complimentary demonstrations last night. The principal parto are capably acted by Vliss Genevieve llogers, Walter Owen, Miss Morah Eilis-Byan, Sam Ryan, W. J. Holten and Miss Irene Worrell-Holon. The play-goers of twenty-five and more years ago have joyous memorie of Sam Iiyan's Mock Duke and kindred characters, and all such will have a special pleasure iu welcoming him now. Age certainly bas not withered, nor has onatom stalod the variety of hia funny powers. Another old friend is Irene Worrell, wlio had uot been Been hero since tiie priine of Young men 's hall, when the blooming trio was compo?ed o the Histers Irene, Jenuie aud Sophie Clever use of voice, . raceful dancing aml the never-forgotten urehness of hor girlhood remind us that time has laid a geutle hand on this one of the merry three. Oenevieve Rogere' impersouatioi if Blaggie Oabs is ueat, intelligent anc sympathetic, and Mr. Owen's Burr Oaks has Borne notable touches. The ladies and gentlemen of the company all work wcll together, and the result of thei joint endeavor is an agreeable and mov ing representation of drama that posses sea o, largo inherent interest.
