Semi Centennial Celebration of
the Founding of the City
in Full Swing.
Such Crowds and Such DecOra-
ions Never Before Seen in
the Cream City.
Festivities of the Day Ended by
a Great Bicycle Parade
and Illumination.

MILWAUKEE, Wis, Oct. 1.-THE
loud booming of cannon, the ringing of
bells and the footing Of innumerable
whistles announced to the world that the
day and the hour Of Milwaukee's semi
centennial celebration had arrived,
while yet the red outline of the sun was
barely discernible through the morning
mists. The sun shone as bright as
though it was trying to make a special
effort for the occasion and the atmos-
phere was almost as balmy as q spring
day. AS if by magic, the decora-
tons had doubled and trebled dur
ing the night, and from end to end
the city was gay with holiday attire.
Flags tloated from every house top that
I was provided with a staff, and stream
ers and festoons decked every street.
Thousands and thousands of people
lined the sidewalks along the line Of
march of the civic and military parade.
The throng was augmented by every in
coming train from suburb and country,
and by noon the principal thoroughfares
were livelier than they were ever
known to be in the history Of the city.
The Big Parade.
The big parade was the event of the
morning. 1t was past noon before it
was over, and the crowds stood for hours
on the sidewalks to see the soldiers and
the governors and various societies and
to hear the music of the endless bands.
For the old settlers the reception at
the Academy of Music was the
event of the day, and doz-
ems of them came down hours
before it opened, to be sure to be on
time. The building was crowded to the
doors and there were thousands who
would have been glad to have attended
if they could have got in.
The festivities of the day ended with
the great bicycle parade in the evening,
which attracted enen greater crowds
than the morning parade, and
the general illumination Of the
city. The streets may have been az
we'll decorated before, but it is
certain that there never was q time
when such an illumination was pro.
vided. Thousands of electric lamps had
been strung on the buildings of the city
and in the evening the streets yer
literally ablaze with light.
The length Of the parade and tn.
diversity Of the divisions made it diff.
cult to estimate the number of people il
line, but $1,000 would be a very conser
vative estimate.
The visiting governors, John p. Alt
geld of Illinois, David NJ. Clough q
Minnesota, John T. Rich of Michigan
and Frank D. Jackson of Iowa, arrived
in good season, accompanied by a mum

CONDEMNED BY LEO.
The Pope Does Not Take Kindly TO Re-

Tn. Pope Does Not Take Kindly to Re-

PHILADELPHIA, Oct. lI.-Pope Leo

Catholic hierarchy of America con.

cred to Archbishop Ryan Of this city
and to all other archblShops. 1t was the

successful in keeping the pope's letter
from publicity. What steps the arch

lie Jeune's Case Heard in
Court This Morning.
Testimony Showed That the Cash
Drawer Was Common Property.
An Expert Explained How the Em-
bezzlement Was Accomplished.

Louis p. lie Jeune, who Is charged with
embezeling about $1,000 from the firm OF
Waldron, Wightmap q Co., was given a
hearing in the Sixth District Court this
morning.
The first witness was Mr.. Wightman.
who testified as to the length OF time that
lie Jeune had been in his employ.
Then several of the firms customers
were called and showed receipted bills,
which bore the name of Le Jeune, and
but one OF the number would swear that
be paid the amount to lie Jeune.
George Il. Barnard, the chief book.
keeper and cashier for the firm, testified
that during his absence lie Jeune acted
Tor him, and when he and Mr..
lie Jeune were, both absent, any
one of the clerks could receive
money from customers and give a
receipt therefor. The same was due to
The regulations in relation to the cash
drawer, but it was supposed that he and
LIE Jeune were the only ones to have access

If the firm would go to the cash drawer
and take out sum Of money
sometimes leaving memorandum
and sometime they would NOT Mr.. Bar
nard practically admitted that all clerks
had access to the cash drawer. He so
stated that the books had not been prop
erly balanced for some time. He said that
when lie Jeune took the orks In 1887
they were not in proper shape, but were
adjusted by Mr.. lie Jeune.
Mr.. lie Jeune was out ~ef the employ of
the company about nine months, and
upon his return he straig htened them out
again. When asked by Mr.. Angel, coun-
Iel for lie Jeune, il the COM
pany had long and q short
account, Mr.. Barnard said that they did,
and 1t was shown that errors had been
made almost every day in sums ranging
from IA cents to $50.
{. ID. Frasier, an expert accountant. was
next called. He was asked what he had
to do with the books. He replied that
he was to find erasures, but could not
swear that he could find more than one,
as the work bad been done very clever
ly. lie testified that LIE Jeune, or some
other person would receive the amount of
a bill from someone and enter the amount
on the cash ledger $40, $40 or $50 less
than the amount of the bill. He would
then reduce bill from the other side of
the ledger to correspond with the amount
which he had appropriated from tho
amount paid in. Fraser said
that there were over $50 of
such changes made in the accounts, aud
were all made in the handwriting of one
man, but by whom he did not know.
The defense did not put in any evidence.
lie Jeune was bound over to the Court
of Common Pleas in the sum of $4,000.
