Hereafter "Cards of Thanks," "Resolutions of Respect," lists of wedding presents, and descriptions of dresses of the bridal party, and all notices of purely money making affairs, will be charged for in these columns at the rate of five cents per line. It seems that the item quoted from the Times last week about the silver club at the Inland Press office was only a joke. And still the people interested in the remarka following that quotation could not catch on to the Courier's joke ! How stupid. When a man is on the up grade the world gets behind him and pushes, when üie is on the down; grade the world again gets behind him and kicks him on. The world is bound to help a man goimg either way. This is an accommodating world after all. We will serve notice rightl here and now on the Adrián Press, that we have here in Ann Arbor, among the studente., a "boy orator" whom we will match agaimst its boy orator from the Platte, anj day in the week. He hails from Texas, and his name is Chandler. President Angelí was honored last week by Princeton University, which cooiferred upon him the degree of LL. D. He has been a LL.

Js'ieklas, president ; Miss Emma Schmid, vic-e president ; Miss Carrie Miller, secretary ; Louis Boes, treasurer ; Krwin Schmid and Miss Amanda Lutz, assistant treasurers. Ann Arbor seems to be peculiarly unfortunate tn her sewer contracts. Nearly all contractors, so far, have bid too low, and as a consequenee the city has been put to a great deal of trouble and expense., It is uot always the cheapest to accept the lowest bid - sometimes it is very expensive to do so. George Herbert Smow, formerly oí this city, and a gradúate of the University, was married at tSt. Aloysius church. on Wednesday last, Oct. 21, to Miss Kathleen Beatrice O'Malley. The oouple will be at home, after December 21st, at 340 Hancock ave., W. Detroit, Mich. The many frieñds of Mr. Snow, who is now the state editor of the Detroit Evening News, will extend a glad hand, and congratulations without number. The Ann Arbor Press dub has resolved itself into a semi-soclal organization, and has decided that each year, its annual meeting hall be followed by a banquet and social time to which the ladies shall be invited. It ds hoped in this way, to give the pencil pushers a bright spot to look forwaril to, and perhaps a brief respite from the constant and continual grind which editing a paper or publiishing a paper becomes when long followed. The Michigan Agriculltural College has added to the opportunïties it already offers young men, four special winter courses, of six weeks fiach, in dairying, stock feeding, horticulture, floriculture and winter vegetable gardening. The courses begin Jan. 4th and the total expense will not exceed $25. Any young man desirious of improving these fine opportunities should address a cara 1o the president of the Agrie ultural College, asking tor further infonnation. An exchange tells a story of a boy who went to market with a sack of rabbits and lingered around town all day. When asked by his mother why he had not sold the rabbiits, he said no one had asked him what was in the sack. How many merchants are like this boy ? They have plenty of goods to sell but fail to teil people "what is in the sack." If you expect to sell goods im this day and age oí the world, yon must open your sack and keep shoutiaig the meritS of your stock in trade. The r.treet debater need not sigh, For matters mieht be worse. He mav Pt the job, when election's by, Of running the un i verse, The M.

A. bet of $25 was madel a day or t-svo since by a lobal republican that McKinley woulrt carry Washtenaw coimty by 500 pluralityi. Senator Eugene Hale of Iaine, made a very good speech, last HSaturday eventog at the court iiouse, irom the standpoint of the republicans. There is much criticism of the action of the students who returned Sunday evening from the toot ball play with Purdue. They were too demonstrafcive and noisy it ia said, for the Sabbath day. The Junior Society of Christian Endeavor of the Prestyterian '.'huren wiai give a novel social entertainment in the form of a. Chafing-Dish Party, in the church parlors l'riday evening of this week. If every precinct in the1 state had a voting machine, the result of the election m ould be known in each precinct to a certaimty, within ten ïainutes after the polls closed. Some places have adopted the machine, as it is legal to use i-t. Mrs. A. E. YanValkenburg ,who for the past three years has been superintendent of the Press Department of W. C. T. U., has resdgned her iosition on account of the pressure of previously assumed duties. Her i esignation was accepted with regret, as this department is considered one of tho most important, and most diificult to fill. For those who believe in the iatality of the number 13, the American quarter dollar is about the most ïmlucky article tliey can earry. On the said coin there are 13 stars, 13 letters in the scroll whi li the eagle holils in its claws, 13 feathers compose its wing, 13 feathers are in its tail, there are 13 parallel Unes on the snleld, 13 horizontal stripes, 13 arrow heads, and 13 letters in the word "quarter dollar.'" - Daily Times. The Choclate Tea to be given by the Junior Auxiliary of St. Andrew's parish, on Thursday evening, at Harris Hall, will be a more than ordinarily entertaining affair. Choclate will be served in many ways by the young iadies, and the public are asked to attend, no admiission being charged. "We cali the attentio-n of Bro. Pond of the Courier, to the fact that he omitted Glen Mills' name in the list of Cantón vlitors. He surely eould be him George ? He surely could be heard.- Ann Arbor Demoerat. Too much wind- blew the lights out just then. A strong feeling for a constitutional amcndment which will abolish the board of supervisors is gaining ground every year. But few states now hare the system pursued here. New York and Massachusetts, from whose lawa our statutes were mostly copied, have changed to county commissioners. So have Ohio, and Illinois, and Indiana. The supervisor system is one of tlio-ve things that has been tried and found wanting. both on account of expense and quality of work performed. It is found that three county commissioni'i-s do more and better woi'k, in far les? time and at far less sxpense. It is not only a to the taxpayers, in monèy, but also in the substantial character of work performed. "Any news this morning ?" inquired the scribe as he approached a frtend. "No," was the chronic reply, when he turned and asked : "You have heard about the great storm predicted in a short time, I euppose?'' The acribe allowed he had not, and the ïriend continued : "That's strange. heard a fellow telling it up on the corner a few minutes ago. He said that we should have a cyclone worse than any of the great storms of the year." "Indeed. Where did he get his information ?" was asked. "Out of your paper." "Out of our paper ! Guess not." "So he sald. It Is coming Nov. 3d." Just then a fly lit on the left ear of the reporter and he turned and listened, and was convinced that he already heard the rumblimg of the sound money cyclone, gatherHÍs for its sreat sweep of süverites tuto the sea of obllvion. With "tbe welfare of the masses" - His orattons are begun; Yfct lie alway.s, as he pauses, Keepg an eye on number oue. There has been great satisfaction expressed on all sïdes smce the announcoment that Hon. Ion M. Dickinson "woulcl address an audience in this city on Saturday evening, at the court house. The meeting of the Afro-Americans at the court house last Friday night was a fine affair, full of enthusiasm and politfcal fire. Tlie procession u-as creditable, and the speeches were tip-top, that of Rev. Butler being especially eloquent and logical. Every McsICinley and Hobart i-esident of the city is requested to display the natiomal colors on Saturday next Oct. 31. Residemts who desire can obtain a banner by calling upon Deacon Fisher at Republican headqaarters on E. Ann st. Wm. H. Hatto died from cáncer last Sunday, after an extended illness, at his home on Forest ave., aged 49 years. He leaves a wife and several ehildren. Funeral services were held from St. Andrew's church yesterday aftemcon, the Maccabees having charge of the services. A man giving the name of O. M. Standish Friday night, and Charles Bemai Saturday morning, has been sent to jaiil for three days by Justice Pond, for being drunk and disorder!y. A man who forgets his own name deserves severe discipline.- Daily Times. Can't you let a man see doublé -without charging him wirh a crime ? ■ The two eandidates, Hon. Chas. R. Sligh, of Grand Raplds, for goveruor, and Mr. Justin R. Whiting, of Port Huren, for lieutenant governor onth pop. ticket, spoke at the opera house In this city on Monday ovening. It was the old, old story of the tail wagging the dog. They had a good house and were met with the usual vociferousness of the pops. this year. Superintendent of the Poor Kipley reports that for the six months ending Sept. 30, there were 61 families helped tn the city, containing 149 persons. The number of permanent paupers in the city is 11, and the total cost for the six months has been $681.85, against $774.33 for the same period of 1895. These figures have a tendeney to show that the gold standard does not make riany paupers. Just thlnk of it, only 11 permanent paupers in this city of 15,000 inhabitants ! It is a fact worthy of note that the only thing that prevented the board of supervisors from adjourning last Thursday, was the failure of a committee, of which Supervisor Watkins of Manchester, is chairman, to report. On that account the board had to adjourn for ona week, to gire luim time to fix up hia report. Although the supervisors did not reduce thair own salaries, as in justice they should have done, yet they transacted business iathe shortest time any board has ever done, in the memory of any man now living. Chairman John R. Miner is to blame for it, and he can rest assured that they will never elect him chairman again. It was cruel the way he made the ,nembers Tvork- with the one exception noted above.
