THREE CARD MONTE.

The next object to strike our attention Is
group of men attentiyely observing the dex-
terity of professor of the three-eard trick.
A broad-backed associate bends down and
serves the same purpose as table, and play
commences the cards consist of an ace and
two Others Of any value; the operator places
them face downward In q row of one, two,
three, showing their faces as he puts them
down; he shifts them two or three times, the
spectator trying TO keep his eye on the ace !;
he then offers to bet even money TO any
amount that no one picks out the ace from
the three; one man does 50 at once and wins
his bet of two shillings, two or three others
doing the same after the cards have been
shifted afresh. BuLthese are evidently con-
federates Of the manipulation, and act as de-
coys to the young innocents around, to whom
they explain the simplicity of the whole af-
fair. Some Of them begin to bet and invar-
iably pick up the wrong card, to the intense
amusement of the other onlookers. He has
q peculiar method Of lodging the cards
which entirely battles the onlooker, and then
| the chances are two to one against him.

GRADUATING EXERCISES.

The largest crowd that ever gathered
in the assembly chamber was present on
Friday evening of last week, the occasion
being the graduating of class of eleven
pupils. The room was so crowded that
before the time announced for the open
ing of the exercises it was impossible to
gain admittance. We were among the
many who failed and consequently are
unable to give synopsis of the essays or
to speak from personal knowledge of the
character of the exercises.
The class consisted of five young ladies
and six young gentlemen. The follow.
ing are the names of the class together
with the subjects treated: Whittier are
We Drifting, Ida E. Windiate; The Lit
erary Achievements of the Blind, Charles
L. Barnes; Queen Elizabeth's Reign,
Alice W. Johnston; The Sword and the
Pen, Joseph Pospisiel; Who are the b.
hemiansa, Rosa G. Mika; Look to the
End, George II. G. Koebke; Live for
Something, John Pospisiel; Conveyances
of the Past and Present, Clara G. Fill
holm; The Spartans, their Laws and
Education, Charles l.. Ostenfeldt; High
er, Sophia Johnston; Castles with Vale
dictory, Louis M. Sherman.
Weinshenk's band was present and the
exercises were varied by music. At the
close Mr.. Raft presented the class with
their Diplomas.

FIRST WARD SCHOOL.

The closing exercises of the First ward
school took place on Friday afternoon
and consisted mainly of essays and reel
tations.
The pupils who read essays were, Ella
Piening, History of Greece; Amanda
lander, Robert Barns; Hattie Symes,
James A. Garfield; Mary Falge, Fixed
Stars; Clara Fechter, Shakespeare's Ham
let; Norbert Werbke, SHAKESPEARE Caesar
Frank Bresler, Shakespeare Merchant
of Venice.
The essays were quite creditable and
indeed excellent if the ages of the pupils
be taken into consideration. One could
hardly expect originality of thought in
pupils SO young, and the object of the
teacher seemed to be to induce them to
reproduce what they had studied. They
did this admirably and in many instances
gave evidence of analytic powers, which
speaks well for the training Mr. Young
has given them.
The First Ward school has one serious
drawback, and that is the age at which
pupils are taken from the school. They
just reach that period of mental strength
when years schooling would prove of
more value than any two preceding when
they are withdrawn.

We have been told by many that our
structures on the night watchmen were
unjust. There are many who will rush
to the defense of any person whose con-
duct is criticised. entirely disregarding
the fact that it may be deserved. Some
who blame the watchmen say the fire was
burning for fully an hour, and others in
sist that it was under way for no longer
time than Is minutes. Fires have be-
come SO common and have been so de
structive and evidence is SO conclusive
that in almost every instance it is iEcen-
| diarism, that it seems more watchmen
should be employed if the object be to
protect property. With the number of
watchmen now employed, any person
having a grudge against a person with
property off Eighth street, may burn out
his enemy with impurity. No fires oc-
cur on Eighth street, because there is
more or less travel there through the
night, and it is expected that watchmen
are to give most attention to that street.
But persons with property off that street
are entitled to protection too, and the
city authorities should look after the IN
terests of all parts of the city as well as
after the interest of the street where
wealth is conferred.

The English sparrows whose coming
was so gladly welcomed a few years ago,
have grown to bea pestiferous nuisance.
They are quarrelsome, English sparrows
are proverbially so, and they are noisy.
Wherever they have collected early ris-
ing is necessity. They are worse than
moonlight cats, crying babies or barking
dogs. The cours house is a regular pan
demonium when these shrill voiced chirp-
ers strike up concert. They are an
abomination; worse than the plaques of
Egypt or ''the curse in dead mans eye. :"
There should be a bounty offered for
their scalps, SO as to get the small boy
with q sling en- the war path.

THE FOURTH IN MANITOWOC.

at four o'clock A. NJ. on the morning
| of July Fourth, about twenty Rankin
guards mustered and fired off twenty
| salutes. The first was compliment to
| Hon. Joseph Rankin, for services gratuit-
ously rendered as mastering officer, the
second to MIR. Estabrock because of sun
dry services rendered the company, and
the third for Frank P. Jones, the second
lieutenant of the company, who is tenn
porarily disabled. At o'clock A. N. the
Manitowoc volunteers under command of
Capt. Becker, headed by the city band,
marched out.
About half past eight the members of
the Lutheran church formed in process
sion aud headed by their own band,
marched from the Lutheran church to
the grounds where they held their pic
mic near the north side school house. At
8 O'Clock the procession of the day start
ed from the court house, headed by
Weinschenck's military band which was
followed by the orators of the day. Next
in line were the Rankin Guards, and
close behind followed the G. A. R.,
headed by fife and drum. The band
that headed the latter was much COM
plimented on the nice martial music
which it furnished.
The procession marched up 9Th street,
around the park and down Main street
to Washington Park, where the exer-
cises of the day were begun. Hon.
Carl. III. Schmidt read the Declare
ton of Independence in solemn and
imposing manner. His burly form was
prepossessing; his silvery and sonorous
voice and just emphasis and infection,
his clear enunciation and commanding
tone, rendered the contents of that parch-
ment doubly interesting and impressing.
He was Justify cheered by the audience
and blushingly retired amid tumultuous
and prolonged applause.
Rev. J. NJ. Craig delivered the Grafton
IN English. Mr.. Craig Is an easy, unaf-
fected clear, and impressive speaker
He evidently did not prepare set speech
for the occasion, and as plain common
sense talk full of originality, it gave very
general satisfaction.
Charles Kunz delivered the Grafton in
German which is highly spoken of by
those who were capable of understanding
and approaching it.
At o'clock P. NJ. the Manitowoc vol
unteers marched to Gerpheide's garden.
The Rankin guards gave drill exhibition
on the picnic grounds. In the evening
they gave dance in Turner Hall where
all present enjoyed themselves to their
hearts content.

THE WEATHER.

The following table has been prepared
after careful observation for years. MIR.
Delano informs us that he has watched
pretty closely to determine just what re
lance might be placed upon it, and in
every instance almost, has found the
table correct. 1t will pay farmers to save
this. We have selected from the chart
only that part applying to the Upper
Lake region, which includes Lakes Su-
perior, Huron and Michigan and adjoin-
ing country. Winds most likely to be
followed by rain or snow: January, s.
w. to S. E.; February, S. W. TO S. E.;
March, S. E. to N. e.; April, s. E. to
n. E.; May, S. to E.; June, S. w. to S.
E.; July, s. W. to S. E.; August, S. W.
to S. E.; September, S. w. to S. E.; DC.
tober, S. W. to S. E.; November, w. to
S.; December, W. to S. Winds least
likely to be followed by snow or rain
January, E. to N; from February to
September, inclusive, N. to W.; from
September to the close of the year, E. to
N. 1t may be of some benefit to many
to have that portion of the chart prepared
for this region SO that reference to it may
be easy.

New JERSEY premium WINE. Physi-
clans state that the Port Wine that took
the premium at the Centennial, produc-
ed and offered for sale by Mr.. Alfred
Speer, of New Jersey, is wine that can
be safely used for medical purposes, be-
ing pure and free from medication, and
Is more reliable than other Port Wines.
1t is especially recommended for weakly
females and the aged. The deep color is
due to the iron from brown stone shale
rock on which the grapes grow, which is
rich in iron. For sale by T. @. Buer-

HE tidal wave which took place on
Lake Erie some time ago is drawing out
the experiences of some of the old inhab-
ltants on tidal matters, but strange to say
there are no theories framed for the
phenomenon. In 1916 a wave of Ia feet.
without apparent cause, swept over the
lakes. This was almost equal to the
bore S of the Indian rivers. In 1850
there was tidal wave III Lake Ontario
which rose to the height of seven feet,
Mr.. Van Gesen in charge of the harbor
work at this place, noticed sudden rise
of the water in the harbor to the height
OF Is inches, on the very day the tidal
wave occurred in Lake Erie. This would
go to prove that these waves are by no
means SO local in their character as we
are informed. But the cause. Can it
be The result of some quiet volcanic ac-
ton in the bed OF the lakes It is not at
all improbable.

JAMES GORDON BENNETT is a az

JAMES GORDON BENNETT is a scape-
grace and it is probable that no great
share of his wealth goes into the funds
for the conversion of the heather. Last
week it was discovered that he was pro-
viding for the family of the seaman who
became insane because of the hardship
endured after the loss of the Jeanette.
The sum paid the family monthly is mu-
nifcient, s75 per month, and he pays
nurse Sal per week to care for the insane
man. But Bennett is not one of the elect
for all that. He isn't pious and he doesn't
build churches. There is day of wrath
in store for him.

We understand that the Nord- Weston
assumes to advise the people what course
they should pursue in regard to The
Pilot, and reads it ont of all decent So
ciety because, as Mr.. Schmidt is pleased
to remark, it advocates temperance prin-
ciples. We presume the editor of the
Nord- Weston advises the establishment
of new English paper because he wants
some one to be in harmony with his views
both in regard to unlimited traffic in
liquor and in that peculiar line of policy
he sees fit to pursue in regard to nomi-
nations made in the county by the dem
ocratic party. We stated, and repeat it
for Mr.. Schmidt's benefit, or any others,
whose opinions may be in accord with
his in this matter, that when the state
fixes license for the sale of liquor, that
amount at least, should be collected from
all who engage in the business. That
injustice is done every saloon keeper who
pays his license when others are allowed
to engage in the same business without
paying the prescribed fee. Will Mr..
Schmidt admit it is just to require the
saloon keepers in Manitowoo to pay s75
per year and allow those of Milwaukee
to engage in the same business at $25
per year and in violation of law2 If he
does, he has the supreme court to con-
tend against, who have lately rendered a
saloon keepers paying but $25 per year.
This bombastic folly of bowling against
the imposition of taxes on dealers in
liquor and trying to make it appear a
curtailment of personal liberty is very
cheap species of demagogism.
