Britton will long be remembered in our community for her deeds of charity, and her active work in many fields of usefulness. For many years she was an untiring worker in the interests of the M. E. church of this city. For a long period she occupied the position of President of the Ladies' Aid Society, to which position she brought energy and courage as well: as the powers of a strong mind, possessed of a sound judgment and well qualified to plan and execute.

With no detriment to others, it may be truly said that her labors, united with those of her surviving husband, kept the M. E. church open for many years. She was an earnest worker in the cause of temperance and in this field, as in others, she was always ready for every good work. It could be truly said of her that whatever her hand found to do, she did with all her might.

Her benevolence was extensive, and her solicitude for the destitute and suf. fering rendered her an object of their special regard.

She was here about ten or twelve years and for the past three or four years she has had devoted, faithful, tender care, at the hands of Mr. and Mrs.

John Oryan and attendant. While not having a relative in the world, 80 far 88 she knew, she has not been unfriended and it is good to record that besides the kind attention shown her, 88 already noted, she had friends in Green Bay and Neenah who remained faithful in the discharge of their duty and requirements of one, and who did much to smooth her pathway on the downhill of life. Mrs. Long was a lady who had received an excellent education, was the possessor of strong traits of character, and always a consistent member of the Episcopal church. Order of Tonti Bail.

The annual ball of the order of Tonti of this city was held at Turner Hall last Thursday and was a glowing success in every way. Every inch of available room was occupied on the lower floor and many spectators sat in the balcony and looked down upon the sea of dancers as they swayed to and fro to the merry music. furnished by Ducharme's orchestra. Mirth and good humor prevailed throughout the entire evening. Many strangers who were in attendance at the Fair were present and either joined the dancing throng or made themselves comfortable and watched the merry frolic.

The dance lasted from rosy eve to dewy morn and if all did not enjoy themselves it was their own fault. BICYCLE TOURNAMENT. Tournament to be Held September 24tn and 25th in this City Will Be a Grand Affair. A great deal has been said and written concerning the bicycle tournament, which 18 to be held in this city September 24th and 25th, but thus far nothing has been said concerning the manner in which the races will be held. The programme calls for sixteen events or races from one-halt mile to five miles.

Four of these races are handicaps; that is the riders who enter will be assigned distances according to their ability. A very fast man will be obliged to run the full distance, while a man who is not so fast will be allowed starts up to one eighth of a mile, etc. In this way every man is put on equal footing and bag an opportunity to win. In each of the sixteen events, eight of which will be run off daily, there will be a large number of contestants and the races will be more exciting than horse racing. Some of the very best wheelmen 10 the country will be present to participate, including, Grant Bell of Minneapolis, champion of the northwest, Terre Andra, of Milwaukee, one of the most promising amateurs in the country; Lumsden who holds the world's record for half 8 mile, and 8 number of riders from Rockford, Springtield, Peoria, Chicago, Detroit, Winona, etc.

The Milwaukee club will send at pleton will be here, the Escanaba, least twenty.five men: every rider in nominee, Marinette, Waukesha; Racine, Oshkosh, Neenah, Menasha, Manitowoe and many other clubs have signified their intention to be present. An effort will be made to have all business houses in Green Bay and Fort Howard close on Thursday afternoon between the hours of one and five o'clock to allow the proprietors and employees an opportunity to attend. From the fact that the Men's association 18 backing the enterprise, there 18 good reason to believe that it will be done. On the morning of the first day a grand parade of wheelmen will occur after which Mayor James H. Elmore will deliver an address of welcome, to the visitors.

In the evening the visitors will be entertained by the club and Thursday forenoon an excursion on the bay on the steamer Nellie will be tendered all visiting wheelmen by Green Bay Club. An orchestra will furnish music on the occasion. From the many letters being received by the secretary it now seems that a great many people from neighboring towns will be present. Reduced rates have been secured on all roads for a radius of titty miles at the rate of one and one-third fare for round trip. Duncan C.

Reed Dead. (From The Milwaukee Sentinel.) Duncan C. Reed died Sunday evening at his home, 373 Jefferson street, after a Very long sickness. His demise removed another of Milwaukee's pioneer citizens, whose lives have added to the city's prosperity and good name. Mr.

Reed was born at Shelburn, July 5, 1815, and was therefore in his 76th year at the time of his death. He located in Milwaukee, his July death 8, he 1841, from of which the was one Milwaukee's most highly esteemed citizens. He a marine engineer and always stood high among his fellow was, craftsmen. Prior to the war Mr. Reed was an ardent supporter of the Democratic party, and WAS a member of the state senate, as a Democrat, from 1850 to 1853.

At the breaking out of the war he was a Douglas Democrat. He early enlisted in Co. Twenty-fourth Wisconsin volunteers, and later became captain of his company. Since the war he had identified himself with the Republican party, of whose principles he had been a consistent and earnest advocate. 1874 he was appointed, under the administration of President Grant, to the position of United States steamboat inspector, which position he held with credit to himself up to the time of bis death.

Mr. Reed was an active Odd Fellow and had held several prominent positions in that order. He was married September 10, 1837, to Mary Hanes, who died December 17, 1883. He is survived by one married daughter, Mrs. Wm.

McIntyre, of this city. Has Marked Talent. Twenty odd years or more ago, Klaus hall would have been filled to witness a play as good as that given at Cherry street Opera house Friday evening. John Dillon played Arrah-na-Pogue in those days and was beginning to win hie laurels, but he was DO better then, if as good as 18 to-day, Charles Sullivan, who has appeared at various times for the past few weeks in this city, in Irish dramas, and who had the leading role i in The Shaughraun, Friday evening. He possesses fully 88 much native wit as Dillon and in addition has a handsome, winsome face, surmounted by a WAVY head of hair, that makes him in appearance a typical Irish lad.

He is graceful in movement, has as well a cheery smile and a contagious laugh. He is a son of the world-famed Charles Sullivan and THE GAZETTE hazards the prophesy that he will equal his father in the specialties for which the latter was noted. "Zona," a Society Drama Written by J. H. Nevins.

On Friday evening, September 19th, the citizens of Green Bay and Fort Howard will be given an opportunity to witness the presentation of a play written by J. H. Nevins, of this city, entitled "Zona." It is a society drama, original in conception, admirable in situation, and ling with bright bits of witticisms and is well-calculated to hold an audience. The stage-settings for the play will be finer by far than any yet ever arranged in the Opera house; the costumes will be elegant and there is every guarantee from the length of time given its preparations that the play will move smoothly and rapidly. This is the concluding entertainment of the season of the stock company, and will be tendered them as a complimentary benefit.

THE GAZETTE bespeaks for them in advance a large house of which the company is well worthy. PERSONAL MENTION. Gustav Blesch, of Menominee, 'spent Sunday in the city. Harry Bell has returned to the Military school at Delafield, Wis. Henry Kubaupt went to Milwaukee Saturday, for a week's visit.

An extended article appears in The Green Bay Advocate of last week, entitled "High License or Bennett Law Tactics." The writer did not so far have the courage of his convictions as to sign it, wisely perhaps for his own interest, but when he places on a par the question of determining whether the saloons shall properly pay a license of $200, $350, or $500, as the voter may determine, or whether every little child in the state of Wisconsin shall be taught the English language, he shoots as wide of the mark as it is possible.

Another gross error among the many into which the writer is lead, is one that ought not to gain admittance into the columns of any respectable journal. It is verbatim, as follows: To democratic voters of the city they should appeal for and it consistent with its past record, and public course in its persistent and honest fight against monopoly and infringements of life liberty and property, and to them should appeal, to aid them in stamping out once and forever such an attempt to impose an unseasonable and dishonest burden. To appeal to either of the great parties on such an issue as the one in question, transcends in folly anything that has ever been perpetrated, and as such stands. without parallel. All voters would truly be concerned were "life liberty and property" menaced, but as the writer fails to show how, that must be taken as a sentence used because it "sounds good." If time and space would permit the article would be given entire.

As, however, the argument and logic throughout are of the same lucid character as the extract quoted above, that will suffice to display the drift of the whole article. Henzel Arrested. Henry Henzel of the town of Eaton, who was found in his barn in an unconscious condition the day before the coroner's jury completed taking testimony in the mysterious case of the death of Mrs. Henzel on the night of August 29th, has regained consciousness and has been placed under arrest on the charge of having caused the death of Mrs. Henzel by abuse.

When questioned as to bow he came to be in the condition in which he was found he said be was out to the barn feeding the horses when some entered and assaulted him from behind, striking him down. Who the person was he did not know, and was at a loss to know the motive that prompted the assault. When asked what he was struck with Henzel replied that he supposed that he was struck with a fist. Henzel was brought to the city Saturday afternoon, and waived examination, before Justice Killian who committed him to jail pending fixing of bail by Judge Hastings of the circuit court. The Council Friday Night.

At the meeting of the common council Friday night, the resignation of Chas. Pfotenhauer as Chief of the Fire Department, was received and accepted by a unanimous vote. A resolution granting the Green Bay Cycle club the privilege of assembling, with the visiting wheelmen, who will attend the tournament September 24th, upon Jackson park, while the address of welcome is being delivered by Mayor James H. Elmore to the visitors, was adopted without a dissenting vote. One thousand feet of hose for the Fire Department was ordered to be purchased.
