An Unappreciated Story.

A story told by an English paper, and
claiming the merit of absolute truth,
evidences once more the ineXorable
purity and womanlinesS Of Queen Vic
toria's character. At Windsor party
of young princes and princesses were
chattering with members Of the royal
household on various matters. The
Queen was present, but was not motto
ing them especially, when heartier
laugh than the rest aroused her interest,
and she asked to be told the fun. Now
the laugh had arisen from an anecdote,
which was not really risky, but just 8
little bit so. There was a demur at re-
peating it to the Queen. Everybody
felt slightly uncomfortable. The Queen
said again that she and Princess Beat
rice would like to hear the story. It
was told. The Queen listened, and then
said with her inimitable dignity and
simplicity: 1--WE are not amused"
1t is not the example set by it's royal
head that has given to the English
smart set it's uneyiable reputation in
the matter Of morals big and little.

WITH APPROPRIATE SERVICES.
Laying of the Turner Hall Cornerstone
at Fond du Lac.


Fond du Lac Wis, Sept 11.ISpe-
cial. AT 5 o'clock yesterday afternoon
in the presence of 500 people the corner
stone of the new Turner hall was laid.
Long before the hour announced for the
services, the Turner's and a number of
their friends had gathered and were busy
inspecting the large foundations, which
will have erected upon them one of the
finest Turner halls in the state The
Union band opened the services, after
which President Burghardt of the So
ciety delivered a short address. In re-
ferring to the marked growth Of the
Turner society in this city. he also. told of
the many trials tSat were endured when
the Turner's first started out. But all
these had been overcome Following the
address by President Burghardt l.. A.
LANCE, a member of high standing in the
society, came forward and in a short adj
dress gave brief history of the Turner's
since the day of their, organization in
1855. Mr.. Lange stated chat it was just
forty years ago yesterday since the So
ciety was first organized, with a member
ship Of twenty. The society has grown
steadily until today we have one of the
strongest organization in the state. The
officers of the Turnyerein in 1859 were
Justice Goldstucker,8 president; Charles
Handt, secretary; Casper Beuchner,
treasurer. Today not one Of these gen
tlemcn are living. but their good work
for the society will live forever in the
hearts of the Turnverein.' Following
the address by L. A -Lange, the corner
stone was placed and the records with
several important minutes of previous
meetings We're filed away. The corner
stone is one of the handsomest that has
ever been placed in this city. On the west
side is the inscription, .Turnyerein, Fond
du Lac, September 10, 1880 and on the
south side is the emblem of the society.
The new hall when completed will be one
Of the finest in the state, and will be a
credit both to the city and to the Turner's.
The new hall will be dedicated some time
in October, at which time several of the
leading Turner's of the state will be pres
ent and take part in the exercises.

dent Of Forest, died at his home in that

STREET CAR WAR.
Rival Companies at Green Bay Fail to
.sse Reach an Agreement.


Green Bay, Wis, Sept. 11.-[Special.l
1t has been stated, and is probably
the belief of most people, that with the
adverse action of the council at its last
meeting on a proposition submitted for
the connection of the street railways of
the east and west sides, the matter was
disposed of for some time to come Such,
showever.s is not the case. The bitter
hess already engendered between the
friends of the two roads on both sides
of the river will not be permitted to
flag at present. All previous efforts at
reconciliation having failed Il resolu-
ton was introduced by Aid. Taylor at
the last meeting of the council authoriz-
ing the preparation of a franchise for
a street railway crossing Fox river at
Main street. The franchise was first
to be submitted to the east side company,
and if not accepted within ten days was
then to be submitted to David Mozart
ney, the head of the west side line, to be
open for his acceptance ten days. The
consideration of the resolution was de-
ferred until the next meeting, the evil
dent intention of the council being to
consider no such proposition. The coun-
cil-ats least the east side members-de-
clare they will consider no proposition
until the matter of interchangeable one
fare tickets is settled Dr. Holmes of
the east side line will make no ticket
arrangement that is not based on the
cost and business of the two roads, and
Mr. Mccartney will not have it that
way. Now the latter, finding the major
ity Of the council arrayed against him,
and the public meanwhile clamoring for
the connection of the two. lines, has de-
termined to enter upon what may be
termed "a campaign of euucation," in
which he will endeavor to convince the
public that he is being unfairly dealt
with, that no reasonable proposition he
can make will receive the consideration
of the council. From present indica-
tluns the fight will be long and bitter
one, the outcome Of which cannot be
safely predicted by anyone at the present
time

HE ACTED STRANGELY.
Barney i. Bloch Refused to Testify In
the Alleged Arson Case.


Kenosha, Wis, Sept. 10.-[Special. J.
There was another surprise in the al
legged arson and conspiracy case of the
Chicago Bedding company today. At
the preliminary examination this morn
ing there was large crowd present to
hear the arguments. All the defendants
were in the courtroom and were deeply
interested in the proceedings. In. one
corner sat Barney l. Bloch, one of the
principal defendants in the case. He
had been acting rather strangely
throughout the examination and when
ever he was called upon to give any in
formation he failed to respond in any
way. His peculiar manner attracted at
tention, but nothing was thought of it
at the time. Later he was called upon
and failed to step to the box. His at
torney was sent for, but when he ar
rived he could do nothing with the man.
There was a vacant stare in his eyes and
he acted like man who was out of his
mind. A physician was sent for and
Bloch was placed in his charge. The
trial will come up Friday. Bloch was
under bonds of $4,000, but had been in
jail the past two weeks owing to the fact
that he could not secure bondsmen.

implicate all the parties now under ar
rest. Robinson was supposed to be one
of the principals in the case and was held
under bonds of $4,000. This makes the
fourth confession since the case was
first brought before the public.
Barney /, Bloch, one of the men held
on the same charge and who has acted
very strangely in Jail the past few days,

The MONOGRAM u. 8.

There is a little monogram
We see where'er we go;
1t offers us protection
Against 9 foreign foe.
1t stands for light and progresS
In every foreign cline,
And it's glory and its greatness
Are the themes of many a rhyme.
But few have ever really known,
And few would ever guess
What our country means by marking
All her chattels with u. s.;
1t may stand for United States,
Or yet for Uncle Sam;
But there's still another meaning
To this simple monogram.
We see it on our bonds and bills,
And on our postal cards;
1t decorates our Capitol,
Swallowed by Stripes and Stars.
In all our barracks, posts and forts
1t plays leading part,
And the jolly sailor loves it
And enshrines it in his heart.
Now, have you guessed the message
Which these mystic letters bear!
Or recognized the untold good
They're spreading everywhere!
Echo the joyful tidings,
And let the people know
That the y. s. of our nation means
We-Use Sapolio.
