Silently Murray sat and cogitated, then
turned the old cayuse about and.slowly

Here is an instance of fire that has
been burning for centuries. According to
the testimony of the Duchess OF Cleve-
land, the great nearth-tire in the hall of
Raby Castle has never been suffered to ex-
pire. This castle is, perhaps, the noblest
and most perfect specimen OF feudal archi-
lecture in Britain.

A Great Success.

The Knights of Pythias gave the
finest and most enjoyable party of the
season at their Castle hall Thursday
evening. The hall was hlled almost
to overlooking with the gay dancers,
who were loathe to leave even when
the strains of Home Sweet Home sound
ed at 2:30 a. m. The fair ladies in
their pretty gowns and the gallant Sir
Knights in their fine uniforms, present
ed a beautiful spectacle. The music
was furnished by Schulte's orchestra.
AS every one knows, this means as
good music as can be had and last
night proved no exception. One of
the features of the evening was the
Triangle quadrille, danced only by the
Knights and their ladies. Mr.. Schultz
owns the copyright of this quadrille,
playing it for the first time last even

Has Kenosha Any Such?

4 few evenings ago overheard two
old business men discussing the merits
of the town. The one who did the
most of the talking said he had been in
business for years and had never made
any money. And" said he, " if [

tomorrow. 1t is not so large, but it is
better than this and is surrounded by a
better country. The people are more
progressive; they have more money and

As a rule their town has outgrown
them. They have Jagged behind, while

LIBRARIANS TO MEET.
G. W. Johnston Is Booked for one of the
Addresses.
Milwaukee Journal.


| RACINE, Wis, Feb. 13-The pro-
gram of the convention of the State
Library association to be held here
March II and 13, is now completed and
| it is expected that the meeting will be
of more than ordinary interest, as in
addition to the usual addresses and dis
cussions, the senior library class from
the Armour institute will conduct an
exercise tracing the history of book
from the time the review is read until
lit gets into the hands of the library
patron. The exercises will consist of
short papers as follows: Reviews and
Buying, Miss Sarah Dickinson; Order
ing, Miss Irene Warren; Accessioning,
Miss Eleanor Roper; Challenging, Miss
Margaret Mann; Classification, Miss
Mary Calkins; Loan, Miss Virginia R..
Dodge; Binding, Miss Maude R. Hen
derson: Repairing, Miss Maude w.
Straight. The rest of the program for
the afternoon session of March u,
which will be held at the Hotel Racine,
will consist of an address by George
w. Johnston, Of the Kenosha EVENING
NEWS, who has been very active in
1awaking library sentiment in his city
and who will tell the best ways in
which to do it. Miss West, of the Mil
waukee library, will speak on the Re
lation of the Trustee to the Library
and the Librarian, and it is hoped that
Walter NJ. Smith, librarian at the
State university, will speak on refer
ence work.
The evening session will be held at
the Y. NJ. C. A. hall under the auspices
of the Wisconsin Library commission.
| J. N. Larned, of Buffalo, will speak on
The Mission and Missionaries of Books
At the session the next morning, I'll.
L. Elmendorf secretary of the Ameri-
can Library association, will speak on
the province Of that association, and
F. A. Hutchins, chairman Of the Wis
consin Library association, will present
the claims of that, body. DIR. E. A.
Burge, of the state university, will talk
on the Relation of the Travelling Libra
ry to University Extension, and there
will be another paper on The Relation
between the Public Library and the
Public School. There will be discus
sions of various problems, such as Wild
ening the province of the city library
and the making of the city superintend-
ent of schools an ex-officio member of
the board of trustees. Exhibits will be
made of library appliances and the
children's books sent by the township
libraries to country districts and all ex-
hibit of children's books and mounted
pictures and photographs from the Mil
waukee library.

is IT CONSTITUTIONAL.
A Question Raised Concerning the Re-
districting of the City.

There is possibility that the action
of the common council in. redistrictiDg
the wards of the city may prove Illegal.
It seems that Milwaukee has got into
middle over doing this same thing and
the question is now brought up: Will
not Kenosha get into the same kind OF
a mudd!e? The law provides that the
redistricting of wards has to be done
before Dec. l.. 1t was not done in
in either Milwaukee nor here until af-
ter that date. This fact has caused a
general overhauling of session laws and
statute books in Milwaukee with the
result that the constitutionality of the
act is called in question. Here is the
way the matter stands in Milwaukee:
" Lawyers who have examined the
question say that the point raised
in regard to the action of the
council is not tenable, for the reason
that the statute is permissory and not
mandatory, but, on the other hand,
the legislature has no power to dele
gate any such power to the council;
first because the redistricting is solely
for election purposes and nobody but
the legislature can, under the constitu-
ton, redistrict for apportionment pur-
poses; and, second, the charter of Mil
waukee is a special charter and by the
enactment of the recent general
charter law there can be no further
special charter legislation. The only
way, it is held, in which Milwaukee
can now change it's ward boundaries is
by taking advantage of the provisions
of the general law This is an import
ant point, and one, it would seem, that
ought to be tested in the supreme court
before an election is held under the
new arrangement of the wards, lest
untold complications arise.
1t appears that the question came
nearly being raised on several oc-
casions while the council committee
was working on the redistricting of the
city into wards. In each case threats
that, if-the arrangement proposed was
persisted in, the whole matter would
be taken to the supreme court, were
sufficient to change the original plan.
One of these cases was that of the
fourth ward, when it was proposed to
attach that ward to the third.
Fourth ward republicans were
ready to fight rather than double up
with the old third, and as soon us this
was discovered, and the plan of pro-
posed attack, there was prompt back
down and new dealmade. The mat
ter is certain to create a stir and will
cause some rapid shutting of the polit-
ical cards."
Not all the same conditions prevail
here that do in Milwaukee, but the
case seems to be so parallel that we
might go carefully into the matter and
see where we legally stand before we
go any farther.

Cheveret Masquerade.

Of all the enjoyable events given by
the PRICE of entertainers, the Cheveret
club, the masquerade of Thursday even
ing was among the best. There was q
great variety of costumes on the floor
and there were fully 800 people who
crowded into Simmons hall. The af-
fair was a very pretty one and the mu-
sic by Prof. Henschel's orchestra was
simply enhancing. Each event this
