The Observation-Disclosures.

The Anti Prohibition convention
continued its session "Wednesday
forenoon adjourning sine die at noon,
really making session of one day,
whereas a three days session was
expected. Speeches were made by
Editor Siegel, of The Abend Post, and
ex-Assemblyman L. Hammel, who is
the legal counsel for the society. Both
recommended to the members greater
zeal and activity than had been shown
in carrying on their work, and spoke
with pain, as did other speakers, of the
impoverished condition of the society
and the great necessity for financial aid
to the end that the Anti Prohibition
society of Wisconsin might live. The
only matter talked of during the COLI
vention that could be regarded of a
political character, was the following
resolution which was passed.:
Resolved, That the president appoint
within ten days after the adjournment
OF this meeting committee of three,
as called for by the resolution adopted
by this convention, and that said COM
mlttee ask the several political parties
to declare and define their position
upon sumptuary and prohibitory laws.
The following officers were elected
for the ensuing year: President, F. g.
C.Brand; vice-president at large, Peter
Barth; financial secretary, Louis Kind
ling; secretary, A. F. Greulich; treas
urer, E. Kiewert, all of Milwaukee.
The office of secretary was accepted
by Mr.. Greulich only on condition
that the executive committee should
find another person to fill the position
as soon as possible. Press of business
compelled Mr. Greulich to this course.
GAINESVILLE was selected as the place
for the next meeting of the society, re-
preventative Dougherty earnestly con-
tending for that city, as by assembling
at GAINESVILLE the Prohibs would
meet the Prohibitionists in one of
their strongholds.
It had been heralded abroad that
among the prominent speakers to ad-
dress the meeting were P. V. Deuster,
of The Seebote, and p. J. Somers,
president of the Milwaukee City Coun-
Gil, neither of whom put in an appear
ance, for what reasonssit is not stated.
The president in accepting his office
spoke rather dispairingly of the out
look for the organization and was some
what fearful that he might be it's last
president. 1t was freely admitted that
the society was suffering for want of
means, and unless something is done
soon by way of liberal support the or
ganization must 60 down. With gen.
eral acquiescence in the present license
law of this state, and with comparative
ly little agitation in Wisconsin in favor
of a prohibitory law, it would seem that
there would be very little use for an
Anti Prohibition society, and this to
our mind is what ais the organization
ton that met here last week.
Judging from results here the mem
bers can do more for Anti Prohibition
by staying at home and not making the
exhibition they did of themselves in
this city.

The Chicago Excursion.

The excursion to this city of the sing
ing section and turning section of the
Chicago Turner society, last Saturday,
was an event of no little interest and
import to our German fellow citizens.
The party arrived by the 4:42 P. NJ train
from Milwaukee and marched to the
Concordia Opera house, escorted by
representatives from the Turner and
Concordia societies, headed by the
Second Regiment band, of Jefferson.
Arriving at the Concordia Opera house,
ranks were broken and aspeech of well
come was delivered by c. III. Gardner,
who spoke of the pleasure of the city
in entertaining her guests. The party,
mingling with their friends and breth-
rem here, passed the closing hours of
the afternoon in social enjoyment and
pleasure. In the evening came the
entertainment at Turner Opera house
which had been arranged for, the fol-
lowing programme being followed:

The entertainment was of the most
pleasing and happy character, the mu-
steal portion of the programme being
especially fine and enjoyable. E. j.
Brandt's first appearance since finish
ing his musical course at the Milwau-
kee conservatory, was one Of the feat
ures of the evening. He rendered
Haendel's song, "Honor and Arms"
with fine strength and power, in which
he was able to manifest the careful and
cultivated training he had received. AS
an encore Mr.. Brandt gave the 1.-TWO
Grenadiers," by Schumann, number
well fitting his pure, clear baritone.
The der Valid" number by the Maen-
nerchor was ably directed by G.. s.
Hawley.
The turning was grand exhibition
of muscular development and dexter
Gus feats, the performers winning
rounds of applause for their efforts.
The tableau which concluded the en-
tertainment was fine representation,
the production Of the Watertown Tur-
ner society.
The Opera house was cleared for
dancing, and with the giddy mazes pre-
sided over by Terpsichore the large
company was occupied until far into
the night, the music being furnished
by the Second Regiment band.
Sunday was a beautiful day for the
picnic on Concordia Island, and our

| Chicago guests LIE company with their
Watertown entertainers, enjoyed them
selves during the afternoon, where ma
ture was so lavish with her gifts of leafy
shade and grassy carpet surrounded
by the Clear babbling waters of Rock
river.
Turner Park was the centre of attrac-
ton In the evening" illumined with it's
many lights. Here music and social
intercourse held sway, followed by
commers in Turner Opera house, a sea-
son Of friendly meeting, song, declama
tons and stage representations being
among the means invoked for having
princely, good time. Among.those voic
ing Watertown's sentiments on the
happy occasion were G.. S. Hawley and
Joseph Terbrueggen, the former rem
dering Down Among the Dead Men,"
as is his special and profound wont.
The last of the Chicago people de-
parted by the :30o'clock train Monday
afternoon, well pleased with their trip
to Watertown and the entertainment
they had received. Our visitors were
gentlemen through and through, pleas
ant and agreeable to all with whom
coming in contact, and the recollections
of their stay will always remain green
spot in the memory of their friends
here.
1t is with pleasure that we speak of
the considerate kindness that was
shown by the management of these
festivities to persons differing from
them in the observance of Sunday. No
music was played Sunday afternoon
when the procession passed churches
on the march to the island, and the
same respect was manifested towards
the worshipers in the churches Sunday
evening, the band in Turner park not
starting to play until the close of the
services. Such respect for the feelings
of others must bear it's proper fruit,
and it is certainly most plimentary
to all concerned.

PoMP AND CEREMONIAL
Conservation of Catholic Cathe'
dral in Philadelphia.

PHILADELPHIA, June 30.-Wlth all
the pomp and ceremony of the Roman
Catholic church the Cathedral of Saints
Peter and Paul, on Eighteenth and Race
streets, was consecrated to-day. No
more ceremonious event has ever trans
PRED in the history of the church in
America. The most distinguished pre-
lates in the country attended, with Car
dinal Gibbons at their head, and the
ceremonies were to the last degree sol
emn and impressive. All the magnifi-
cent accessories that pertain to the
nc re important ritual of the church
were present. Thousands of the faith
full in this city. and from other cities as
well, filled every foot of room and left
crowds upon the street outside of the
sacred edifce. At $50 o'clock this
morning the ,consecration serv-
ice took place. The process
sion, which formed at that hour,
made the circuit of the Cathedral thrice,
the archbishop sprinkling the walls
with holy water. At the end of the
third circuit the archbishop knocked
with his staff Oh the door of the cathe-
dral, which opened for him to enter
with those of the clergy concerned in
the conservation. The people and the
rest OF the procession renamed outside.
The blessing of the five. affairs came
next. and then the cOnSecrator and the
clergy passed three times around the
inside of the church, blessing the walls
and the floor. The sepulchers under
the affairs and the ornaments and holy
vessels were cOnSecrateu. and the cere-
mony proper ended after enduring over
four hours. The great public event was
the celebration of solemn pontifical
mass at II o'clock. The mass began
with the greatest congregation ever held
by the cathedral, now forever dedicated
TO the service OF the Catholic church.
Cardinal Gibbons delivered a splendid
Grafton on the occasion. After the mass
was over the clergy went on special
train to St. Charles seminary, Over
brook, where dinner was served. Pom
ti6cal vesperS was celebrated at 7:30
O'Clock this evening, and the sermon
was delivered by Rt. Rev. Bishop Hen
messy, of Iowa.

SOME ONE MADE MONEY.
The Texas Capitol Building Dicker
Results in Litigation.

CHICAGO, June 30.-Judge Tuley this
morning issued an injunction restrain
ing j. V. FarwelI and his attorney,
George F. Westover, from disposing of
6,136 shares of the capital stock of the
Capital Freehold Land and Investment
company Qimited), of London, and
seven-fortiethS of the capital stock of
the Sonora Land company. The suit
grows out of events succeeding the con,
tract of }. V. and Charles 3. FarWell
and Col. Abner TAYLOR to erect the
Texas state house or capitol at Austin,
Tex. The contractors were paid in
Texas state lands. William Sturges, of
New York, ON whose application
the injunction was granted, says
in his bill that he was en-
gagged by the Farwells and Taylor
to go to Europe to raise the money for
the construction of the buildings. On
the security of the lands granted by the
state, Sturges says he raised between
$4.000.000 anu S5.O00,000. In doing this
Sturges organized the London COM
pany and claimed as reward for his
services one-half the stock which should
be left after the $4,000, 900 needed for
the work should be raised. The Far
wells demurred to the claim, thinking it
eXorbitant, and the matter was referred
to Columbus R. Cummings and Walter
Potter for arbitration, but owing to Mr.
Potter's absence i'll Europe has not yet
been settled. Sturges asked for some
money on account. and on his note pay
able June "a, 1890, j. V. FarWell gave
him $4,000. The note was Sc
cured by the shares of stock in
controversy. Sturges claims that
they are now worth S750,000
as the present rental value of the land
belonging to the company is 100000
year. Moreover Sturges says Mr.. Far
well has no right to dispose of the col
lateral, as part of the understanding,
when the loan was made, was that
al bitratOrs should fix his compensation
before the note matured and the amount
borrowed should be deducted from his
compensation. But yesterday, Mr..
Sturgis says, Mr.. Farwell declared the
note due and advertised the securities
for sale. Mr.. Sturges asks that on
hearing the injunction be declared per-
petual. 1t is likely that on a full hear
ing before the court very interesting
facts will be developed, not at all to the
credit of Sturgis, who Farwell and Tay-
lor say took advantage of personal rela-
tons to John V. Farwell in London, to
set up DrepoSterous claim when he had
no money and never put dollar in the
enterprise.

CapitaI Cuttings.

Capt Erben, president of the board ap-
pointed to try the cruiser Philadelphia, had
an interview with the secretary of the navy
Yesterday. He reported that the vessel had
made an average speed of nineteen and half
knots per hour over forty-miie course, and
consequently had more than met her con-
tract requirements. He said he would sub
NIT written report on the subject. His re-
port insures the acceptance of the Philadel
phia, and guarantees her constructors a
premium of 100000. They have madein-
formal application for another trial. but the
department has practically decided that they
must stand by the record of the first trial.
Representative Laws has Introduced bill
providing for the appointment by the presi-
dent of commission consisting of five per-
sons to make an impartial and thorough in
yestigation of social vice in all its phases, in
relation to labor and wages, marriage and
divorce, and the general welfare of the .peo
pie. When this investigation is completed
the commission shall report its results to the
president, who shall transmit the same to
congress.
1t is estimated at the treasury department
that there has been decrease of about 500
OOO, 900 i'll the public debt since June l.
This will make the total decrease for the
fiscal year ended to-day SS7, 100000, as
against STA, 100000 Sor the previous fiscal
wear.
