That Trip to Detroit.
DEAR GAZETTE :—By the courtesy of the
executive committee of the Weekly Press
Association the writer became one of the
six duly accredited delegates to the fourth
annual meeting of the National Editorial
Associatton, recently convened at Detroit
and extending its session during four
days. Very soon after our arrival quarters
for the party were secured at the Griswold
House,which proved satisfactory in every
particular. Among several former ac-
quaintances, who called upon us, was our
fellow townsman of old, genial John H.
Haulenbeck. son of Rev. G. Haulenbeck.
During the last few years he has been
engaged in business in this City of the
Straits. A few years since, receiving a
flattering offer in the management of a
new enterprise just established at Port
Huron, a city sixty-five miles north of
Detroit, located at the foot of Lake Huron,
he closed out his business and removed
with is family to that city. Thiscmuch
was learned after a few moments spent
in conversation with him. He is the
same active, impulsrve, open-hearted
Johnny as of old, extending to each of us
a hearty greeting, togeather with a press.
ing invitation to Visit him in Port Huron.
Our party had concuded to extend their
trip to Chicago and decided to take the
afternoon steamer from Detroit up the
river, into and through Lake St. Clair and
its river continuing up Lake Huron to
Port Huron, spending the day there, and
taking the night train on the GrandTrunk
railroad for Chicago. The weather con-
ditions being perfect a most delightful
sail was had. Among the many interest-
ing sights was the western novelty of
summer cottages built upon piles driven
in the St. Clair flats. Small, unique struc-
tures perched upon timbers just above the
lake level dotted these waters for miles,
the occupants of which stepped from
water craft to veranda, or vice versa, re-
minding us of similar means of communi~
cation employed by the dwellers in
Venice. At Port Huron an excellent ho-
tel was found, where, early the following
morning, our active friend Haulenbeck
waited upon us and escorted us to the
factory of the R. C. Mudge Paper Clothing
00., manufacturers of paper garments for
ladies, gentlemen and children, paper bed
blankets, etc. Here he presented us to
General Manager R. C. Mudge, who,
learning that we were from the “Nutmeg
State,” and most of us from the same
town from whence came his assistant
manager, gave us a right royal greeting
and entertainment. Both of these gentle-
men spent the entire day with us, taking
the party through their establishment and
the mill in which the material used in
their manufacture is made. Many other
points of interest in their cuy were visited,
among which was Huronia Beach, a love—
ly suburban summef resort, connected
with the city by an electric railway, it
running speedily and noiselessly, making
travel upon it pleasant. The representa-
tive of the “press,” who is interested in
the coming new street railway on East
avenue and elsewhere, was enthused with
the belief that this was the proper motive
power to be employed. Also when on a
similar road in Detroit, he expressed his
unqualified approval of it. But to return
to our subject; long lines of comfortable
cottages facing this inland sea, with the
primeval forest for their back ground, a
beautiful, clean, white sand beach extend-
ing to the water’s edge in front view, are
occupied as summer residences. Surely a
more healthy location would be difficult
to find. Here we found the interesting
little family of our former townsman, a
perfect picture of health and contentment.
An excellent dinner was served in the ban-
queting hall, after which we were escort-
ed back to the city and over upon the
Canadian side to Sarina Flats, where a
couple of hours were spent in successful
fishing. With a string of “speckled
beauties” requiring the muscles of two of
our party to transport we returned to our
hotel, where, gathered around the private
table of Mr. Mudge and wife and little
daughter, we discussed the enjoyments of
the day, testing the quality of our “catch”
and cementing newly found friendships.
An hour later, after a pleasant musical
entertainment in their parlors, we parted
from them with mutual expressions of
esteem and regret. The attention and
h0spitality of these gentlemen will long
be remembered, and now a few words re-
garding the business they so ably manage.
The manufacture of articles of clothing
from paper material other than wood pulp
has :beretofore been attempted, resulting
in failure because of the weakness of the
paper, but this company has demonstrated
the fact that paper clothing, made from a
strong fibrous paper manufactured ex!
pressly for the purpose under their pro-
cess secured by letters patent, is not only
light and warm, but cheap and durable.
When prepared‘for use it presents the
appearance of Chamois or buckskin.
These garments are made in the form of
a vest, and when used by men are worn‘
over the undershirt or under the ordinary
vest. Ladies use them as a corset cover
or under jacket. Theimportance ofcloth—
ing the body lightly and, at the same
time, obtaining the requisite amOunt of
warmth must be evident to the mind of
every one. The paper being impervious
to air, garmentsimade from itjprotect the
person of the wearer from chilling winds,
repelling cold and retaining warmth of
the body without the aid of heavy, cum—
bersomc outer garments, thus making
them the lightest and most economical
garments ever successfully put upon the
market. They are in all cases to be worn
over woolen or flannel of sufficient weight
to absorb perspiration, and when this is
done good medical authority has highly
recommended them as a preventative and

specific of all disorders entailed by cold.
The blankets are especially adapted by
their lightness for army and hospital uses.
Also in diSplacing the heavy comforter
with the paper blanket sleep will be more
refreshing and restful, as absolute warmth
is obtained by a cover weighing but four-
teen ounces instead of several pounds.
These blankets are sold on the market at
one dollar and one dollar and a half per
pair according to the quality of the fiber;
men’s vests, from fifty cents to two dol-
lars, and ladies’ vests or corset covers
from seventy-five cents to two dollars
each, prices graded according to the kind
of material with which they are covered.
Messrs. Mudge and Haulenbeck stated
that the demand for these goods had so
increased during the few months in which
the goods had been before the public, that
the company had taken the necessary
steps to augmdnt their production. Pat—
ents secured, not only in this country but
in foreign lands, grant to this company
the exclusive right to manufacture paper
garments from material made from wood
or fibrous pulp. This enterprise deserves
success, and there can be but little doubt
that these goods need only to be seen to
be appreciated. We predict for the R. C.
Mudge Paper Clothing Co. a prosperous
future and a fortune to its stockholders.
Mr. Haulenbeck is at the present time is
at the present time negotiating with
Canadian parties for the right to manu-
facture these goods in Canada, and will
soon go abroad in the same interest. Our
enterprising clothing merchants will be
wise if they make an early display of
these goods here in our home market.
The following morning found us rapidly
nearing Chicago. On either side for sev-
eral miles, while in its suburbs as far as
the eye could see, we traveled through
vegetable gardens, the source of supply
for the vast population of the “Queen
City of the West.” 0n alighting from the
train we were met by our old friend, J. B.
Keeler, Esq., eldest brother of our go-
ahead townsman, Edwin C. These kins-
men met each other in a manner charac-
teristic of their impulsive' natures. It was
the good fortune of the writer to become
the guest of his old friend, whose pleasant
home is located on Washington Boulevard,
one of the many charming drive ways in
the city. After spending some ten days
in hotels and sleeping cars it was a real
joy to experience the atmosphere of a
Christian home. Mrs. Keeler is a lineal
descendent of Thomas Hooker of Connec-
ticut fame during its early history, and,
though born and educated in the west,
retains a lively interest in matters pertain-
ing to the home of her remote ancestors.
Here we spent the quiet Sabbath, attend-
ing the morning services at the Plymouth
Congregational church, located on Michi—
gan avenue, formerly presided over by
greatly beloved Rev. Mr. Everest. The
Rev. Frank W. Gunsalus is now its pastor.
It was our good fortune to hear this cele-
brated divine. The occasron will ever
remain “green" in memory. Upon a
membership of nearly one thousand and a
congregation of twice that number .or
more the burning words of this magnetic
preacher fell with a power born from the
Spirit of the Master. He it was, who rec.
commended the Rev. Col. Anderson to his
late charge. He also opened the last re-
publican convention with prayer. If his
life is spared we predict for him a future
grand and helpful to the world. Space
is too brief to speak of the wondrous
sights seen and pleasant experiences had.
Chicago isa very whirlpool of business
and push. Soon it will rival the vast em-
porium of the east in population and is
without a peer in this country in rush and
enterprise. In its business portion are
blocks of buildings from ten to sixteen
stories high. Along its many miles of
boulevards, each with three distinct/road—
people of wealth. Twenty—five hundred
acres of public parks, magnificently beau—
tified by both nature and art; broad av-
nues connecting each with the other;
cable surface roads, together with the fact
of its being the terminus of vast railway
systems, these and other considerations
destine ita city of the. first rank in the
near future. In only one direction does
its enterprise fail, and that is to be noted
on its streets and in its public buildings in
the fact that they are lighted by gas in-
stead of electricity. The Chicago Gas
Trust, the most powerful monopoly of its
kind inthe world, seems to retain its iron
grasp upon the city rulers and, for the
time being, is reaping a rich harvest of
dividends, but the “hand writing is al-
ready upon the wall," public sentiment is
concentrating, and very soon the rclicts of
a past age in the shape of a flickering gas
jet will give place to modern science as
seen in electricity. Persons contemplat—
ing a journey between east and west will
find their comfort greatly enhanced by
securing their tickets via West Shore St
Grand Trunk railroad. We found these
roads admirabs' managed; everything for
comfort is provided; speed and, at the
same time, safety so far as human fore-
sight can assure it is had; gentlemanly
Officials are everywhere to be met and
nothing seems lacking for the full enjoy—
ment of railroad travel. . x.

A peculiar rust color called “Tour Eiffel”
in honor of the Eiffel Tower is a prominent
shade in fall importations and is expected
to replace the term cottas, yellowish browns
and other kindred hues in vogue. It does
not, however, conflict with greyish blues,
old tapestry greens, yellowish reds, dahlia
and other blendings, which, produced in
wool or silk, form the plain material that
serves as an offset to combination fronts,
borders, and panels in great variety of
of design and richness. Comparatively few
persons can afford to purchase these elegant
silks, but the fine wools show beautiful com-
binations not only in tapestry patterns of
answering fabric, but in higher tones of
silk, velvet, valours and even plush, the
latter, however, being most frequently placed
as we. border that serves the purpose of a
frame to some pictorial display. Less ex—
pensive wools are adorned with floral and
other patterns done in mohair, and by
its contrasting shine very pretty results are
otbained at a moderate expense.
VELVET FLOWERS
leaves and feathery grasses woven in black
on the new colored ground—works are hand——
somest of all and vary perpetually from bold
designs to small buds and sprays. Empire
wreaths appear, and likewise bouquets caught
loosely by flying ribbons. Some patterns
are all over, or again leave room for the fine
shimmer of silken threads thrown up to the
surface in wools, or in case of armure or
faille silks, for an exhibition of the rich
body of the goods, since new failles especial-
ly are distinctly handsome in thick reps that
are closely rivalled however by the softer
attractions of armnres. Silks of all descrip—
tions have received a great impetus from
the exposition; manufacturers have endeav—
ored to outvie each other, and judging from
the importations of Lorrl & Taylor the like
has never before been witnessed.
SHOULDER CAPES
of cloth are very noticeable in their depart—
ment of street garments and a sure sign that
they will be much worn. Those of colored
cloth in successive rows take the lead, and,
as a new departure, may be mentioned some
having long front ends. In longer garments
the Ursuline cloak, so called because a close
imitation of that order of nuns, shows even
the conventional hood and girdle, while a
nun-like brown cloth perfects the resem—
blance. Very worldly adornments of bor—
ders and perpendicular stripes appear at
times, however, this being in harmony with
the bordered dress patterns; some even are
in tapestry all over patterns and, later on»
it is not improbable that rich silks with or
without kindred ornamentations will belie
the saintly origin of the Ursnline. In the
making of
NEW DRESSES
there is considerable conflict of thought and
if from the same a freedom should arise
similar to that which reigns at present the
benefit will be proportionate. It is con-
ceded that faithfulportrayals of Marguerite’s
ecstnme in “Faust” are being already pre—
pared in cloth, and once introduced they
may extend to a higher class material.
Fifteenth century dresses show a skirt of one
material slightly draped above another,
while strong efforts are made for a revival
of the genuine empire dresses with very
short waists. A revival of the old time
coral strand about the neck, the beautifully
artistic empire coiffure with golden fillet
about the head shows a reverting to classic
outlines and the long ago. It is certain
that ladies are tiring of a. perpetual Direc-
toire with inherently stiff outlines, and thus
the signs of the times point to soft falling
drapery. But with a sudden caprice, ideas
most in favor may be abandoned and the
next month will be a critical time in the
world of dress. LUCY CAnTEn.
