Detroit to Vote on City Ownership. Detroit, Mich., Jan. 22.- A Special election will be held in Detroit to morrow to settle the street railway controversy, which has been a burn ing issue ever since the late Hazen S. I'ingree, iduring his term as mayor, inaugurated a campaign for three rent fares some fifteen years: ago. At tomorrow's election the voters vill decide the fate of the Thompson- 11 ally three-cent fare plan, which provides for art extension of the pres- Mrs. U. .M. ldenhouse lias re ont street I railway franchises until turned from the vellam Hospital at 1924 with eight tickets for a quarter in the dav time, six at nirht. and uni- versal transfers. At the same time t he .voters .yillj pass upon a proposal for out-and-out municipal ownership of the street Railways. The campaign" which closed today has been the most hotlv contested in the -history of Detroit. The Board of Commerce is j the leading propon ent of the Thompson-Hally ordinance. I Billboards and dead walls throughout the city have been covered with post- ers advertisim: the merits of the plan. Mayor Thompson and a corps of fifty assistants have toured the city daily j making speeches for the ordinance.! It is erenerallv believed that the three-cent fare plan will be carried and the proposal for municipal own- ership defeated. The business men appear to be almost a more difficult to gauge, through a straw vote of the employes in many of the large fac- tories indicates that the workingmen also favor! the three-cent fare plan, The women have taken a lively inter- est in the I campaign, as the women taxpayers are to have a vote at the election. ', The opponents of the three-cent fare ordinance are banking on the requirement of the constitution that, to carry, the measure must have not less than three-fifths of the votes polled. This means that the ordi- nance must have a majority of not less than 10,000 votes. meeung oi uounxy. xeacners aw - a m i 9 A 1 I ciawon' ine meeting 01 lue. tuuu xcauu- ers' Association will be held at the iaueu sciiooi in uucuxu on ocuuraay. l ine meeting win uegxu - , HOCK.' , The programme will be thesame as the one that was to have been ren- dered on Saturday before Xlmstmas. ,v uiMiussion , leu uy ,vxx. xUWB. . suujeci: opeciiiu xuiFs - tUdy. r!...-1... tic 1 TT T uiacussiuu lfu uv jiiboco uuney, .iviaggie x,uru, auu xv. - buujecu. oupnicu vu. umu. ,ue . r . muJ recnation on uoi.

The relics consisted of a pair of shoes worn by Mrs.-Jane White at the time of her marriage to Mr. William White, and a pair of socks worn by I the latter. The shoes were made of fine cloth, lined with a stiff coarse texture. The bottoms were of leath- er and the heels of wood, covered with squirrel skin. The shoes were evidently fine ones at the time, and had the high French heel. Thev were I home made, of course. The stock- ings worn by Mr. White were also of fine texture, and were long ones, as knee Dants were worn at that time. The marriage of Mr. Whit4 occurred about 1771. There is still standing 0n Mr. j.

Mr. Morrison added that Senator Sim mons would get a majority over the field in six of the ten districts, these being the Sixth. Seventh, Eighth, Ninth and Tenth. Mr. Morrison was not so well posted, he said, with con ditions in some of the eastern dis tricts, but after traveling about a xood deal and s-eeuring information that he regarded as reliable, he felt certain that Senator Simmons will carry one of the eastern districts re ferred to over the field. The Sena tor, he said, would get a good vote in every district in the State, and he believed there was but one district in which one of the other candidates was likely to lead. A Happy Scene.. Mr. Editor : Last night as I was talking on Church street, I noticed a very kind act on the part of a young man. inere were a group 01 norse traders sitting by a fire in the back lots. I noticed a young man go up and shake hands with each one'. I was on the pavement near and cur nous t0 know w a nlcely dressed vounS man was ln sucn a rowd, I wed nearer, yet in an obscure Place- e lom tne men nis ;name, shook hands and glad to meet them, He then told them that he would be very Sd to have them go to church with him as it was Sunday. Much to mv surPrise they thanked him kindly tor asking them. Ihey looked at their clothes and then at the young man. Thev saiy We would not mind go- in if we were not so dirty." The y"n? man replied in a clear voice, "Friends, it is not the clothes that we wear, it is the heart. If you will I will sit with you and we can a11 Slt toganer. This young man made a strong talk but he did not succeed. As he left be told each "good-bye hand-in-hand. One said, "Your kindness has made me leel happy and I am glad that you care for us. 7 It was a good lesson for me and I thought if only I could make men happy in some way. WITNESS OF SCENE.
