Ueaaci Eatertalae a S amber r UaeataWlth a Plraaant Out-laK-Utber Hewn. On Thursday, August 20, occurs tbe county reunion and picnic of the O. D. n S. lodges o! the copper country at the Hancock grove under the auspices of Lake Superior Lodge, of Hancock. The grand parade will commence at the Port age Lake bridge, where the visiting lodges will be met. It will be under the direction of Dr. A. (laaeer, us grand mar- shal, with George Widmeyer. Arno Jaeh nig, -Joseph Clans, Joseph Widmever. II. Haam, II. Ernest, Christ Zimmerman, U. Ilofer and G. Wren as aids. The pa radeis expected to start at 10 o'clock a. m. Arrived at the park an address will be made by Paul Schenk, of Lake Su perior Iodge. Dinner will be served at the grove and there will be music for dancing during the afternoon and even ing. The Quincy Excelsior band has been engaged for the entire day. The following committee of arrangements has made every effort looking toward the enjoyment of the visitors: Albert (iutsch, Christ Zeigler, Nick Donglinirer. George Wren, Paul Schenk, Arno Jaeh nlgand George Schneider. The follow ing gentlemen will receive tbe visiting brethren and generally look after every one's comfort : Fred Belling, Henry Drit- tler, Sr., Andrew Link, Conrad Keyer and William Mertz. Admission to the grove all day, 23 cents, ladies free. The reception given last evening at the Armory Opera House in honor of the graduating class of the Michigan Mining School was a pronounced social success, and no doubt the students, the end of whose years of hard worn it marked, will remember It with pleasure for a long time to come. The fact of the party coming after a dearth of amusements of like character made the enjoyment of the young people the more keen and dancing waa kept up until old Sol bad begun to light up the eastern horizon. The inspiring music of the Fifth Regiment band added to tbe zest of tbe dancing. Tbe band rendered some new music and was particularly good in the rendition of the various two steps on the program. Tbe guests were received by Judge Hub- bell and Hon. T. B. Dunstan, of the board of control, with their wives; Mr. and Mrs. A. F. Rees, and a reception com mittee of students. During the reception proper the band rendered several fine se lections. The ball was elaborately decorated, bunting and yacht signal flags forming the principal part. Light refreshments were served during the evening in the supper room. Fully 200 couples were in attendance, including a number from Cal umet and Lake Linden. A very pleasant outing was given yes terday by Mr. L. Hennes in honor of bis guests from Detroit. The party left Lake Linden on the tug Annie K. Hennes and at Houghton were joined by another party, and the pleasure barge Pilgrim was there taken. They then went to the canal, where a few hours were spent on the beach. An orchestra was aboard and dancing proved a source of pleasure during the day. The whole party num bered about thirty-five and included some from Calumet. Mr. and Mrs, i . A. Schulte and daughter, Miss Laura Hen nes, Frank lluetteman, Fred Cramer, and Tony and Charles Doddo, In whose honorthe excursion was given, left today boat for their homes in Detroit. They have been visiting friends here for some time past, and tbe last five gentle men were most favorably impressed with their first visit to the copper country. A.Mr. Carlyle, an actor of years of experience, will give a Shakesperem reading at Uartman's Hall next Wednes day evening. Komeo and Juliet is the play selected. Mrs. J. A. Hubbell and Messrs. W. D. Calverly and J. F. Ham bitzer have taken upon themselves the arrangements for the evening. A more extended notice will be given later. Mr. Carlyle hopes to arrange for an outdoor rendition of "As You Like It" some time next month, probably at the Onigaming club with a number of local people In the cast. These latter entertainments are very popular just now below. The Daraga base ball team will play the Houirhtons at the Mining School park Saturday and Sunday afternoons. The Houghton boys will make Heroic ei frtrta tn take a came from the sawdust team and a good many of their admirers think they will break even if not win hoth o-ames. If they can avoid the disas trous inning in which they usually loose thAinramM with the Baragas tbe Doys should give a good account of them selves. With the exception of one yellow innin in wich ffume tbe Houghtons have played superior ball to their rivals and the score has usually been a close one. m t ha trosDel living on Port age Lake has been studying the financial n,.iUn .ni t eTolred some unique Ideas.

One week from tonicht the Kliah.i- orchestra will give a grand concert in the V. M. C. A. auditorium. Miss Abby Kos Wood, the celebrated soprano, will be with the company of twelve persons. This Is the largest company the associa tion has yet contracted with, and, in the belief that the hall will be well filled, has put reserved seats at 50 cents each. Prof. 8. E. Whitney, of Detroit, 'orme: lynuperintendentof the Hancock public schools, is making a visit among his old friends. He marvels greatly on the growth of both the schools and the town during the ten years since be left here. The discussion of the free coinage of sil ver question in the Y. M. C.

COLOR LINE IN SOUTH AFRICA. f ! aa Strongly Drawn There aa la Any Part of Aoierie. It ruroly if ever huppuns tluit a native, whatever hi rank, la receive! on any so cial occasion lnshlo a white house. Indeed he would seldom be permitted, exoept as a domestic servant, to enter a private house at alL When Khama, the famous chief of the ila-Manffwato, a Christum, and a man of admittedly hlrh character, who lias ruled his eoplewith singular wisdom and ability, was In KnKland last autumn and was there entertained at lunch by the Duke of Westminster and other persona of social eminence, the news excited general annoy ance and disgust among the whites in Bouth Africa. A story wus told me of a pmlen Jarty given by the wife of a lead ing white ecclesiastic, the appenrniH-o at which of a native clergyman led many of the white guests to withdraw In dudgeon. Once, when I was a guest at a mission station in Daautoland, 1 was asked by my host whether I had any objection to his bringing In to the family meal the native pastor, who had been preaching to tho na tive congregutlon. When I expressed some surprise that ho should think lt necessary to ask, he explained that race feeling was so strong among the colonists that it would have been deemed iinprojier nnd, Indued, Insulting to mako a white guest sit down at the same table with a black man unless special permission hud first been given. Thus one may say that there Is no social Intercourse whatever U'tweeu tho races. Their relations are purely thoso of busi ness. Now and then the black man gets ahead of the white, but the hitter's prldo of race remains. I was told of a white who condescended to le hired to work by n Kaffir, but stipulated that the Kaffir should address him as " lxss. " Of Intermarriago there is, of course, no question. It Is not forbidden by law In the two Dritlsh colonics, as lt is in most, If not all, of the southern states of Anier ca, but It Is excessively rare, nor does It ap pear that there are now other irregular un ions outsido marriage, aa there constantly were In tho old days while slavery ex lsted. In this resK!cttho case of South Africa re markably resembles that of the southern states, where also there Is now very little mixture of blood, though there was a great deal 60 years ago. Probably In both cases lt Is better that the races should not mingle their blood, for the white race would bo likely to lose mora than the bhick race would gain. James liryce, M. I'., In Cen tury. CONEY ISLAND. A Modern Engliah Dlacorerer of New York'a Great Summer Kesort.

Teste For the Wak ItoginaiBg Aog. IS. CommeDt by Re, ft. II. Itoyla. Tono.-8wii.gOo.! In nuture.-l'a. u. 1 : ilv. 1 10. Tho thing created always speaks of the Creator. It proves the cxistenoo of a Creator, and more than that it tells us much of His character and His power. (od created the uatural world. "In the beginning God created tho heavens and the earth." Naturally, therefore, we would expect nature to speak of God, and that much about Uod could be seen in nature. This is the fact. The invisi ble things are seen by the things that do appear. 1. In nature we gee proof of God's existence. The existence of tho world proves God's existence, A thing created must have hod a creator. Every effect must have had a cause. The world is, an effect. There was a time when it did not exist. Science as well as Scripture teaches this fact. It must have had a beginning and a creator. The adapta tion of everything in the universe proves that the world must have had an intelligent cause. If there is no God, who mode the world is a question athe ism has never been able to satisfactorily answer, and never will be. There is only ouo explanation of this world's ex istence and that is that it was brought into existence by un intelligent uml ull powerful lining.' That supremo Dcing is God. 2. In nature we seo the glory of God. "Tbe heavens declare the glory of God, and the firmament showeth Ilia handi work." All nature, from the brilliaut orb of tho heavens to the tiniest dew drop that nestles in the bosom of the blade of grass at our feet, testifies to tht excelling riches of the glory of God. 8. In nature we seo the ownership ol God. "The earth is the Lord's and thf fullness thereof, the world and they that dwell therein." Aa a part of the world we belong to God. He has made us. The ' thiug modo belongs to the maker. In giving ourselves and our all to God, we are only giving Him His own, and we should all acknowledge Ilia ownership. 4. In nature we see the goodness and providential care of God. How good is this Creator to all that He has created, and bow careful and thoughtful for all His creation! He hath clothed the gross of tho field, adorned the lily with beauty and splendor, and not a sparrow falleth to the ground without His notice. If so careful of such transient things, how wonderfully careful He will be for the highest part of His creation man. Nature sells us much about God, but uot how we can be reconciled to God. It speaks of estrangement, but not of forgiveness. This we have in the re vealed word of God. ,Let us not neglect it, even for nature. Bible Headings.

The Valley of Shadow. In various placoa and on many omi sious does Jesus pledge us to meet Hiix in this life at the cross, in tho stcru ment, in the cries of joy and sorrow and now once again He appoints us meeting place. It is the Valley of the Shadow, where, in the quietness and seclusion as in the lovers' glade, He will expect us one day. v Is then) any spot on earth so common or so wild that it has not been transformed by love? Are there any places in our thought so beautiful as those where we kept tryst with those that were dearer than life? So Jesus put a fair face on death, so that it becometh but His dark disguise as He returneth to receive us borne. John Watson. Aroaalng Iataraat. The Christian Endeavorers of the Melville Presbyterian church, Montreal, are in the habit of sending bundles of good literature to a country minister, who uses them in his itinerant preach ing. At oue town the papers aroused so much interest that, tbe people were led to come to the services again and again. Now the interest in religious things has become so marked that a small church has been erected in the town. Re -enforcing Oar Soala. No one has lived the inner life with out season's of early passions when the romance of Jesus has captured the soul, without seasons of later declension when the greenery of spring grew gray in the city dust It is in such hours of coldness and weariness we ought to re-enforce our souls with the sacrament of the bread and wine.

I'm really fond of you, and I think you are wf me, but" "Oh, why didn't I want to marry a do vent borrUU-r, a doctor, or even a journal ist, Instead of an earl's younger son?" said Miss Muriel Mallett, with a frown on her pretty face and a tear or two In her large, limpid eyes -yes which made all tho meu think, wrongly, that she was poetical and sentimental. "Hut, seriously, can you give me upr" Tho Hon. Dob Martiudale looked at her. She was just his ideal tall, well built, but with a saucy face lu which the big black eyes seemed out of place, If fascinating. There was In her countenance tho strange ness which, according to llaonn, is neces sary to great beauty. She affected a tailor made, gown and was always well groomed. Yet, though her dress was a trille man nish, In tho brusque movements which showed tluit she was fidgety glimpses of gossamer stocking and fine Valenciennes revealed themselves and showed that she bod a conscience In costume that would have delighted tho hero of (iautier's novel with the famous preface. "My dear girl, If It were a question of risking my life or anything like that I wouldn't hesitate. If it were even one of thoso affairs of fellows who, for a few hours of of well, you know, gladly die, I'd be there, but but I can't lie n cad. They have, brought me up as a swell with out any profession, and I'm a bit of a fool, and I couldn't live on your earnings as actress; so there you are." Miss Muriel sighed. Dob was a hand some fellow and manly, and ho would have the title and estates some day If two ob stacles were to disappear. "I did liko you. Dob, and do, and you were always straight I should like to have been your wife. If only we'd some money to run a theatrical company with!" "Yes, If I hadn't Imm'u such a juggins as to blue the five thou, old Uncle Tom left mo I didn't know you then." "Yes, if we'd the five thou. !" Fho start ed a little. "You will marry mo if ever I have 5,000? Oh, you'd liavo to work; have to bo my manager. " Ho nodded. "It's a promise for two years?" "Yes." "Honor bright?" "Yes, of courso, If" "If I run straight? Well, look here! We've been engaged honorably and you want to break it off." He lowered his head. "I'm young, only 24, even at Somerset House. I'd like to have married you, and I should have been a good wlfo too. How ever, some day I may want to marry soino onoelse." The man shuddered. "A broken engagement Isn't a certifi cate of good character. You must give lue one. That's fair. " Hho got up and w heeled to him a little round table, on which was a crocodile skin writing pod with silver edges. fcho opcued It, took out writing jmpcr and found him pun and ink. "Now, then, write this: "Mr DiAn Miss Mai.lett It la my painful duty to tell you that 1 have made fruitless ly a desperate effort to gain my father's con sent to our marriage. Ho utterly refuses, say ing that he la so old fashionod as to object to have an actress aa daughter-in-law. Therefore I am compelled to break off my engagement With a woman whom I at ill love and esteem." Tho Hon. Dob signed the letter sadly. "Now bo off. I've to go to rehearsal. No, you mustn't drive me down. Onco more, If within two years I have live thou, as capital, you promise you will marry mo?" "Yes, darling, on my word of honor!" With a swift movement she threw her arms around his neck and kissed him pas sionately. A minute later he found him self in tho street, sad and bewildered. That evening there was rejoicing In tho big mansion In Delgravo square, and tho Earl of Hexham drank ton much In honor of the return to respectability of tho prodi gal Dob. "We'll soon find you a wlfo, my boy," he said over the jort, which he drank in honor of the affair and In defiance of gout and doctor's order. "None of your rich American trash, but some one of decent family and tiio sort of solid, reasonable dowry tluit a younger son deserves. " Next morning at 12 o'clock, when the earl was vainly trying to put on his hoots without swearing at the pain, tho Hod. Dob entered the library with a document in his hand. "I never thought she'd have dono It, sir," he aald. "Done what?" "LK)kl The beastly thing says, Tho plaintiff claims damages for breach of promise of marriage.' " "Drlng mc my slippers!" shouted tho oarL "D n tho horse I Send round the brougham I ' Off ho went to Lincoln's Inn Fields. "You'd liettcr settle," said Mr. Ponder, tho old family lawyer. "Settle," ho shouted, "settle! I'll show up the baggage, the ! I'll put every de tective In London on tho job. I'm not afraid of court and when tho jury hears what she really Is" "Hut tho scandal?" "Don't talk about scandal Enter an appearance and leave tho rest to mo." ' My dear governor," Interrupted Dob, who had accompanied him, "be fair to tho glrL I didn't think Muriel would havo done it, but she's perfectly straight I'd stake my life on lt " "Nonsense, Dob. You're a fool, and you'd lictter stay abroad till tho affair's ever. I'll attend to It I'll show her how to fight" Tho earl's eyes gleamed. ' We'll teach her, won't we, Ponder, what litigation means?" Then he told a lengthy, stale talo of his successful lawsuit alxmt right of way success which added a new mort gage to thu family collection. "It's all very well," said Mr. PomhT, "but that was chancery; this is common law. I'm sure we should make a mess of It. One of my articled clerks has act up In business tn lledford row. He's a smart fellow nnd will fight hard and just stilt you." Dob went off to tho Klvlera and lost all the money his father gave him. During his absence tho old gentleman employed a detective a fellow with splendid Imagina tion tint very poor powers of obscirratlom and the skirmishing was done under the earl's supervision. Doh was to havo staid away till aft? tbe trial. However, an ur gent letter from a club friend of his father brought him home In a hurry. Ho arrived In the evening and going to the Carlton learned that the rase was In tho list for next day. When he reached Del grave Square and was shown Into the library, ho found his father with Mr. Hicks, his Ded ford row solicitor. There was a row going on at a high pitch. "Pray tll your father he must settle," said Mr. Hicks. "Settle, be damned t" Interrupted the old boy. "Settle, I siy," rejoined the solicitor. "You sue. Mr. Martlndala. Sir Kdwanl Highest of all in Leavening ns, ii r A&OHJDTELV PURE says he won't cross examine the plalutiff as to her i-htimctcr. He suggests that tho material U ali-urd, and he doc not hcllcvo a word of the detective's story. Ho say he'd sMner return tho brief." "And tho check?" gusped the earl. "Yes, and tho check, lie says there's no decent defense, and he won't try to sup ort thcdcU'ctive's tissue of lies. Moreover, he Insists tluit If ho did he'd fail, and the damages and dls;rrace would bo awful." "What doe it matter to mo?" shouted the old gentleman. "It's not my (vise. It's my son's. " "That's a bit steep," observed tho son. "My retainer is from you, my lord," urged Mr. Hicks. "Oh, I'll ny your confounded costs, but where will they get their damaged from?" Dob groaned. "They've told mo they'll make him bankrupt," replied Mr. Hicks, "and his discharge will lw susitended for two years at least " "What has thut to do with me?" said the earl grimly. Dob Interposed, '-Lord Salisbury has many claims on his patronage, and In my tiaukruptcy he'd llnd a decent excuse for leaving me out in thu cold." The e.irl hud no gout, but he managed without Its help to use very vigorous lan guage concerning sons, solicitors, advo cates and act resses. "They will take 3,000 for damages, with a full apology and withdrawal In open court," said Mr. Hicks, "and bOQ for costs. " "Annslogy! A withdrawal!" "A withdrawal of ull the charges on tho record." Next day, to tho infinite disgust of the reenters and tho crowded court, Sir Ed ward, in a graceful speech, made an apol ogy of the most ample character, withdrew allimputationrtnnditnnounccd thut 5,000 would Is3 paid as coniM'iisution for the in jury to tho lady, together with her costs. Tho Morning Dost on tho morrow an nounced tluit tho Karl of Ilcxam had gone to Duxton. When thu honorable Rols'rt, a day later, received a letter from Muriel saying she was most anxious to sett him, ho took a cab to Urompton crm-cnt nnd grew more and more jierplexed every Inch of tho way. Miss Muriel, looking very neat, natty, handsome and piquant, with a prodigious glow of life lu her eyes, shook hands with him warmly and made him sit down on tho sofa by her stdo. For a quarter of an hour shu stimulated his curiosity by talk ing alsiut nothing in particular. At lost his atience broke down. "Look here, Muriel," ho said brusquely, "stow tho cackle and como to cues. I'm delighted to see you and don't bear malice, but what on earth put it Into your pretty head to send for me?" Shu laughed loud, long and heartily so loud, long and heartily that at lust bo laughed with her. "Well, you area goose!" she said. "I know It," ho answered. "I dread Michaelmas. " "I think your brain Is developing; you're growing witty. Oh, you haven't got there yet!" "Well, but" "Listen to mo. Tho Hon.

Sketch. Ty bee's Tower. Ono of the objects which invariably at tract tho interest of voyagers approaching Savannah by sea is tho tiny round tower a few huudred feet distant from tho light house at Tybee Island, on the Georgia side. With tho aid of a good pair of marine glosses tho tower can tie descried as built of stone and apmrently hoary with ago. Indeed, the native Georgian has no greater pleasure than to pour Into the astonished ears of northerners tho tile that it was erected by tho Smnlsli atiout the same tlnio as the structures of St Augustino. Dut tho hard and rather un poetic fact of tho case are that tho United States govern ment built the place as a defense agalust the Dritlsh in 1812. It is termed in military iNirlunco a mar tello tower, tielng copied from similar de fenses erected along tho English coasts when Napoleon was threatening to invade Drltaln. Tho tower saw some little active service in the civil war, of course, but was even then not more dangerous or stronger than a stono dwelling. At present it Is used as a reporting and signal station, and during the tuithing season it Is a favorite visiting place for tho guests of tho fashionable hotels at Tybee Deach, tho noted southern soasido resort There are few objects on our coasts more striking and picturesque than the tower at Tyliee, and it only lacks a few legends of Spanish possessions, sieges, etc., to mako It famous.
