JOKE ON JOsTrUMNEY.
Friends Keep Him Bailing Out Boat
During Entire Fishing Trip.
They are telling a story In the city
hall on Joseph Kumney, foreman of
the garbage collection service. Hum
mey has some fame as a practical
joker, and. when h»* went on a fishing
, trip with some friends last w'eek, he
exercised this trail, to the full. The
others planned to get even, but wait
mi until they embarked In a bout to
do borne actual fishing.
Kumney was placed nt the bow of
the boat to ball out water that had
' leaked In. Then one of the conspir
ators pulled out a small plug at the
stern of the boat. Kumney balled ail
through the trio and never had a
chance to even throw out a line. It Is
said. He discovered the trick wheu
land was reached and is now trying
to devise some scheme fiendish
enough for fevt nge.

THE DETROIT TIMES:
ALDERMEN TIRE
OF ASHJRDINCE
Weekly Collection Not Successful
Because of Failure of Citizens To
Comply With Regulations.
! i i
That some of the aldermen are be
coming tired of the system of weekly
collet tion of ashes aud rubbish which
was Instituted last year is Indicated
by two resolutions adopted by the
council, Tuesday night. Aid. Keutlng
I Introduced a resolution requesting the
; commissioner ot public works to con
sider the advisability of cleaning all
alleys iu tho city "us they ure fast
becoming a menace to the health ol
the people.” Aid. Zink introduced a
resolution calling for the cleaning of
alleys iu the Eleventh ward.
The weekly collection plan was
“adopted' with I lie' idea of keepfhg’ the
alleyu clean all the time by having
ashes and rubbish placed in re
ceptacles and thence transferred to
the department’s vvugons, Instead of
allowing the refuse to be thrown into
the alleys to remain for an indefinite
time, and having wholesale cleanings
at certain periods in winter and
spring. A great many citizens have
refused to supply receptacles and
have continued to litter the alleys In
the old way, however. Foremen In
the department of public works say
that they have been unable to enforce
the ordinance because of the difficulty
in securing convictions of persons
who violated It.
To give a wholesale cleaning of the
alleys now would require a large sum
of money and the council may have
to provide this.
The council authorized a vote on «
charter amendment allowing the sale
of municipal bonds to the public iu
issues of SIOO or more. Supplemental
estlmes for $30,000 to complete the
Fairview sewer and pumping station
and of $250,000 to provide sites for
a central library and branch libraries
were approved. Communication from
Assistant Corporation Counsel Law
son recommending that the city pay
W. H. Traves $2,572.32 In settlement
of his claim for the old furniture in
the city hall at the time of Its remod
eling was approved by the claims and
accounts committee and tiie amouut
will bo paid.
The street opening committee re
ported that the Wabash railroad has
withdrawn its petition for the closing
of Seventh-st., and the paving of that
street will now proceed. A supple
mental estimate for SB,IOO for a sewer
In Dexter boulevard was passed.
Park Commissioner Hurlbut called
on the council to pass an ordinance
for the removal of telephone poles
from Lafayette boulevard, stating that
tlie linemen were ruining tho trees
along the boulevard.
Chicago boulevard east, lost its
name, the new title of this thorough
fate being Arden Park. The name of
Schnelder-pl., was changed to Ella-st.
A report udvlsiug that the paving of
McDougall-ave., below Jefferson-ave.,
be postponed a year was adopted.
Aid. Konkel Introduced an amend
ment to the undertakers ordinance,
providing for a board of three under
takers to be appointed by the mayor
to assist the board of health in pass
lng upon undertakers’ applications for
licenses.
MARRIAGE LICENSE ISSUED
IN WINDSOR FOUND HERE
Document Permitting Warren Parker
To Wed Odelia Bryants Picked
Up on Street.
Perhaps it it» a romantic little elope
ment that may he nipped in the bud
when the general public learns that
Warren Parker, bachelor, 2U years old,
lost his license to marry Odelia
Bryants, spinster. 21; but License
Clerk Charles Kotlistein. In police
headquarters, says that the would-oe
eloper who goes to Windsor alter a
marriage license, and then loses #i
right in front of a police station, de
serves to be "foiled.''
The city directory seems to wot not
of odelia or Warren but "th' papers'*
show that they both live iu Detroit.
Tlie license wus found In front of tho
Hunt-st. police station, Tuesday even
ing. It v.as dated April 14, and was
fresh from the hand*# of License Issuer
George E. Copeland, of Windsor.

Whs Warren hound for Odelia a
home to :>*-ar her off to Windsor, when

Windsor, and were they fudng the
parson when Warren discovered his
loss?
These and sundry other questions
are bothering Kotlistein and others,
who anxiously wail to interrogate
Parker.

ing. In the federal circuit court,
Wednesday morning He came here

ind of these, eight or ten. have bee i
tried or settled,” stated Judge Deni
son "In no case where either aids

CHEST OF SILVER
FOR FJ. TAYLOR
Presentation Made To Veteran Mer
chant at Banquet—Praises Sound
ed in Many Speeches.
It was a remarkable tribute that the
ruou ot Detroit paid Kruun D. Taylor,
president of the Klliott-Taylor-Wool
fenden Cos., Tuesday night, in honor
of his completion of fifty years of
business activity In Detroit. Tne
flower of the city’s business and pro
lesbional life was represented by the
company of 100 or more nersonai
friends of Mr. Taylor who gathered
about the banquet tables in the Hotel
Poutchal’train and gave free amt elo
quent expression to the esteem in
which they hold him. The company
numbered many active business rivals
oriiic tfottotW* ghs*r, aifa from triWr
lips came only words of praise and
well wishes for his continued success.
As u more permanent token of their
high regard for him, Mr. Taylors
friends presented him with a magnifi
cent chest of silver, through J. L.
Hudson, who took occasion, in his
presentation speech, to cite some in
teresting facts showing Detroit's
metamorphosis from a slow-going com
munity ot 45,000 souls to a modern
metropolis with a population of nearly
a half million.
Mr. Taylor was greatly affected by
this sincere demonstration and his
voice faltered when he tried lo ex
press his appreciation of the honors
showered upon him.
"It seems to me that 1 am not
worthy of It all,” he said with char
acteristic modesty. "There are cer
tain satisfactions tn life which money
cannot buy, aud the greatest satisfac
tion of all, to me, Is to have such
friendship as has been expressed
here tonight. It is impossible for me
to express my appreciation.”
George* T. Moody acted as toastmas
ter and sat at the lelt of Mr. Taylor,
with Mr. Hudson on the right. Others
at the speakers’ table were C. A. new
comb, Judge Alfred J. Murphy. Mayor
Philip Breitmeyer, President Abner E
of the Detroit Board of Com
mcrce; the Rev. William Byron For
bush, Robert M. Zug, D. M. Ferry,
Levi T. Bar Dour, Edward W. Pendle
ton, Alexis C. Angell, Charles B. Saw
yer, secretary of the Board of Com
merce, J. B. Howarth and James T.
Thorborn. James B. Angell, Ann Ar
bor; the Rev. Neliemiak Boynton,
former pastor of the First Congrega
tional church; W. T. Knowlton, or
Saginaw and Bishop Williams sent
regrets. x
E. \V. Pendleton, the first speaker,
Fpoke of Mr. Taylor as the Chrlstlau
gentleman, and his name, he said, wa-j
synonymous with such a characteriza
tion. He dwelt at some length on
Mr. Taylors ancestral tree. One In
teresting fact brought out was that
five sisters of one of his ancestors
married five Congiegatlonal minis
ters. Two of hio ancestors were col
lege presidents, one was governor of
Ohio, and another was Judge of the
court of appeals In New York. The
finer qualities of nis ancestors were in
flected In the guefct of the evening, ne
said, and a great lesson was to ue
learned from his exemplary life.
Aiexis C. Angeil’s subject whs "An
ideal Business Man."
"An Ideal business man must he
honorable in hf 4 dealings not onlv
with his competitors but with his cus
tom* rs as well.” he said. "He must be
mst to and considerate of hi* em
ploy* s. which Is sometimes difficult* in
the absence of a re ciprocal element,
aud he must give some part of hU
life to the public. Mr Taylor, I think
we will all agree, fully measures up
to tiffs standard '
C. A. Newcomb, of th** Newcomb-
Endicott Cos., recalled that Mr. Taylor
was the first man to welcome him to
Detroit 42 years ago, and he consid
ered it a high honor to be Invited to
attend such a gathering. He paid a
high tribute to the mother and
\vif*> of Mr. Taylor.
"A ma.i who Is blessed with a good
wife is pretty suit* to lead a grand
life," he said. "And Mr. Taylor was
bles.-ed with such a wife. In all the
years I hive known you, Mr. Taylor,
I have n.*ver heard ati unkind word
spoken against you. May your life ex
tend yet many years and may God
bless you and your family."
Abner E. learned expressed regret
tnat there were not. more younger rneu
In the purty.
"Children are born nowadays with
the idea of money-getting firmly root
ed in their young minds. ’ he said. “Tho
young man need.# tne influence of the
high idea’.s that have marked Mr. Tay
lor's career. He needs to he taught
that there is something lu life* after all
besides money-getting.”
Speaking on the toast, "A Public
Spirited Citizen,” 'Judge A. J. Murptvy
(’welt eloquently ot. the Influence of
such a man as Mr. Taylor on a com
munity. He told of Mr. Taylor’s splen
did work as the mainstay of the So
ciety for the Prevention of Cruelty to
Children and as one of the leaders In
the work of the Y. M. C. A.
Mayor Breitm *yer. Robert M. Zug
anq Charm* B. Sawyer spoke briefly,
each adding his tribute of pratee to
the Chris Gan geitleman anil the up
right citizen and business man.
“I have known you as a friers! and
neighbor for 30 years.” said J. L.
Hudson, In hie presentation speech
"And I know that >ou have stood for
the best in civic as well us lu private
life."
Mr Hudson told of a recent trip
with Mr. Taylor through the Elliott
Taylor- Wool fend en Co.’s new store,
and declared the veteran retailer was
as enthusiastic over the firm's new
venture as a *~otmg man just starting
out in buuineea.
"I hope, Mr. Tavlor. that you will
enjoy many more years as fruitful a*i
ihe past 5d have been, and when the
end comes, as com* It must, sir, may
you enter through the gates into tne
eternal city," ho cent luded.
Mr. Taylor's response was In a rem
lnlsient vein. He gave an Intimate
word-picture of Detroit as It existed
i.i I*6o and pa and e high tribute to
citizen* of Detroit long dead, to whoso
influence he attributed much of bit
success.

COMET STILL ELUSIVE.
Won’t Be Seen With Naked Eye For
Week Yet.
The Rev. Fr. M. 1. Strltch, of Detroit
college, made another effort to catch
a glimpse of Halley’s comet. Wednes
day morning without result. He is
convinced now that Detroiters will be
fortunate if they see the wanderer
within a week. As tt Is now, It Is im
possible to see It with the nuked eye.
Even strong telescopes are unavail
ing.
"One has to get up so early in the
morning that the glare of light from
the street lamps spoils whatever
chance there would be of seeing the
comet very early.” said Fr. Strltch.
“Later on. when the street lights are
extinguished and the comet is higher
above the horizon, it is Impossible to
see It because of daylight. 1 imagine
there would be better opportunities of
seeing the comet out in the clear
country some place. The highest It
gets above the horizon is- ”0 degrees,
so at this stage It gets only a little
way above."
