Tho Earew 11 services at Zions churcli were well attended Sunday, botli momiiig aad evenlng. The churcli had been handsomely decorated ior these Ims: services and every membei" oï the audiem-e feit a pang of sorrow as hi' bilde good bye to tlie old churcli. Ou Munday moriiing workmen commenoed tearing it down. Tlie new edifice to be built on its site will be a fine one, in the shape oï a Greek cross, will have a spire 135 feet high, and be in every way 'in keeping with the growth oï the communlty. ' The Cüiigregation have been granted the use of the high school chapel in whlcli to worshlp during the building- of the new churcli edi.ice. An attempt is being made by our eitizens to secure the lowering of the bridge over the M. C. R. E. tracks on Beakes st. Tlie. bridge should never have been placed at lts present heighc or built at its present width, and ought to be botli wiilened and lowered. II the M. C. will not consent to that, then the city should erect a biidge over the tracks at N. State Bt., which it reserved the right to do, and jilacs the stfucture at the proper lieight and make it the width of the street so that there will be one road way to the north side that will be as it should be. A bridge on State street woiüd be used nearly as mucli as the Beakes street bridge, and wih have to be built in the course of time, anyway. An effort is being made in tiie city to créale a sufflcíent amount oí interest in the cause to form a Society ior the Prevention of Crüelty bo Animáis. Literature been dis tributed throughout the city thróugh the various ehureh societies, and the pastors of the churches have been interested in the movemènfc. lt is a thinsí devoutly to be desired. Althous'.i instances of cruelty to dumli animáis are not so numerous as in larger places, yet there are instances here sufficient to warrant an organization of the kind. The ülfilculty ia these societ'.eá is to secure officials who can and will act. üsually the humane people are those who are so busily engaged in other things that they have no time to tlevote to tlils, and the oonsequence Is that these eocietles in cities like Ann Arbor soon langulsh and Llie out trom sheer negleet. If our pólice could be interested in the matter, it wobW be a great help. To be sure the pólice have their hands full already, but tliere is no reason why the city should not have another policeman, one reoommended by tliis society ior instance, who shoulU bc specially detailcd tor tliis wort with liis other duties. There should be a polleen) m stationed on State st., or abojit the campus, and-with this addition to the pólice forcé tliere mlght be some goo 1 accomplished by the society. To organlze feuch a society witli no one to acl has been tried here. already and proved a failure. It was not practical. If some sucli arrangement as has been suggested could be made, then it wonlii aecomplish the ends desired and much abuse and cruelty to animáis be stopped. The i:ws are already upon the Btatute books, and what is needed is their enforcement.
