The Kenosha telegraph. [volume] (Kenosha, Wis.) 1860-1888, 1882-03-31

have pleased some of the interested
parties had the items of expenditure
been concealed from the public. Bills to
the amount of $4,000 have alreadybeen
audited, and it is stated a like amount
is stillto besent in. The remains of
the dead President were conveyed
FROM this city to Cleveland for inter
ment. The railroad conveyed the
funeral party free Of charge. The bill
rendered by the proprietor of Wormly's
Hotel in this city for wines, liquors and
lunches, was S1,T00; of this sun $500
was for whiskey cocktails. Bills for
whiskey, champagne and lunches by
the cortege, in making the tour, looks
more like the expenses of an eXtraa-
CANT jollifieation party than Of funq-
al mourners.
AS the inquiry will naturally lie
raised, does responsibility attach to am
particular party for such censuable
conduct? 1t is unpleasant to cast i'm
putation on any party, but it is due to
the Republicans to mention a siigle
fact. At the time of the funeral of
the President, the officers Of the House
of Representative were all Democrats.
and there was no change until the
meeting of the new Congress in
December last. To the Democratic
Sergeant-at-Arms of the House vas
committed the arrangements for she
funeral, and he had the over sight of
matters. If any Republican partici-
pated in making such an occasion a
season of carousal let him be known.
| NATIONAL EDUCATIONAL CONVENTION.
The annual National Educational
Association met in this city last week.
Distinguished educators from many
states were in attendance. The bust
ness of the association was largely de-
voted to the consideration Of the South.
Facts were given as to the alarming
ignorance in many of the Southern
states, not only among the colored peo-
pie, but also the white population.
These states are too poor to sustain a
system Of free schools. The assoia-
ton came to the conclusion to take
measures for presenting the wants OF
the South to Congress. ApprOplia.

BICYCLES FOR LADIES.
Riding on bicycles is more common
in Washington than in any other cit
in the Union, for the reason in no othe
city are there so many miles of smoot
, asphalt pavement. Hitherto this kim
Of locomotion has been employe
chiefly by young men and boys. Th
prospect now is, the bicycle will b
patronized by ladies as we'll. Mrs
Belvia A. Lockwood, who has almost
national reputation as lady laWye
= being more widely known in tina
profession than any other lady in til
Union-has adopted the bicycle O
new pattern lately imported, with muc
success. Without change OF dress CON
,, mon to other ladies, she mounts tn
bicycle, with no apparent difficulty
moves off rapidly and gracefully
: alights with ease wherever bushes
takes her, and is off again at full speed
never failing to command the admira
ton Of the spectators.
; The successful use Of the bicycle b
, Mrs. Lockwood would lead to speed
) adoption by the ladies generally wer
it not that she is classed among III
''strong-minded women" that is, She
a distinguished advocate Of womal
: suffrage. Many Of the fashionabl
women Of Washington are not of tn
, strong minded, therefore will hesitat
to follow in the lead of Mrs. Lockwood
by adopting this new style for lad
