Picnic Grounds.

The Chicago, Milwaukee & st. Paul Railway
has two frst-class parks for picnics within
twelve miles of Chicago. Both locations are es-

picnics, and their nearness to Chicago makes

In the course Of few minutes the

delared the National Democratic Con-

before it.
Continuing he said:
Gentlemen of the Convention, the
proceedings Of the Convention will be
opened with prayer, which will be offered
by the Rev. Ernest M. Stires, rector of
Grace Episcopal Church, Chicago.
The Rev. Mr.. Stires addressed the
throne Of grace as follows:
Almighty God, the hearts of thy PEG
pie are lifted in gratitude to thee for the
manifold blessings thou has vouchsafed
to our country from the dawn of its in
dependence unto this day. We thank
thee for the wisdom and courage which
enabled our fathers to build better than
they knew. For deliverance from all
dangers within and without our borders,
and our unparalleled progress in times
Of prosperity and peace. o. God of our
fathers. continue to guide and sustain
thy children; in our doubts, and fears,
and distress we cry unto thee for help.
Grant us wisdom to know, among all
the perplexing problems of this time,
where lies the path of honor and safety.
Help us to consider the vital questions
which must be considered with thor
oughness, patience. and tolerance. Give
us strength and courage to what an en-
lightened conscience shall declare to be
our duty. Inspire us with patriotism
above expediency. Remind us that hon.
esty is not only the best but the only
policy for the consideration of great
people. May the hearts of all be filed
with profound respect and sympathy for
our toiling multitudes, oppressed with
burdens too heavy for them to bear
heavier than we should allow them to
bear.
Teach us how to give them relief
without doing violence to the rights of
any. While we plead for ourselves we
are mindful of the sorrows of others.
May the day soon come when no power
will be permitted to inf1ict upon brave
people indefesible slaughter and un-
speakable shame. when no cloud of des-
potism shall overhang those who sigh
for liberty. May we ever feel the deep
est sympathy for the distressed in the
great brotherhood of mankind, and yet
be able to maintain an honorable peace
with all.
Upon the great convention now as
sembled in thy presence send thy grac
ious blessing. May its members be
inspired with the most exalted patriot.

1t wasn't hard to get at the Coliseum,

A Newspaper Woman.

The death of Kate Field removes
from the ranks of journalism one OF its
most creditable, and in some respects,
brilliant representatives. Miss Field
died at Honolulu, where she has been
spending the winter as correspondent
of the Chicago Times Herald, and
whence she has sent to this country a
number of exceedingly bright and
trenchant articles. 1t is as the founder
and editor of Kate Fields Washington,
a breezy, well-managed periodical. pub
lished at the national capital, that she
is best known to the public. This little
paper achieved a unique individuality
and acquired national reputation.
Having been suspended at the time OF
Miss Fields departure for the Sandwich
Islands last fall, it is not likely that it
will be revived again, as it lost in her
it's chief inspiration. Miss Field repre-
sented the very best type of the Amerl-
can newspaper woman. She was clever
and daring, but she was also dignified
and womanly. She never had recourse
to the sensational methods which have
brought a certain kind of newspaper
woman into prominence, finding her
own brains an excellent substitute for
that sort of thing On the other hand,
she was striking and prominent fig
ure, stamping her Individuality on all
that she did and making herself ia
miliar name, not only in the newspaper
world, but outside of it, as a successful
and admirable newspaper woman. She
is, in her professional career, far more
desirable model for the young women
who are now entering the profession at
every available point than the women
who have made themselves cOnspicu-
Gus by sensational adventures and who
have made their dubious successes by
deliberate association with certain sim
lister and morbid aspects of life. Ihe
newspaper fraternity in general will
feel that in Miss Field they have lost a
fellow worker whose example was a
stimulus and an inspiration, and whose
character added dignity to the protes-
sion.

America Ahead.

April 18th shoe and leather fair was
opened in London with Exhibits from
America and other foreign countries,
one American ma:hine manufacturing
company having erected a stand at a
cost of nearly $4,000. A feature of the
exhibition is a factory which does the
complete work of making shoes, the
machinery and methods OF which are
for the most part American. A. Eafone,
NJ. P, who presided at the inaugural
luncheon, spoke of the extraordinary
progress which had been made in the
shoemaking art since he entered the
business, and, while complimenting
English tanners on the leather they
produced under improved methods, he
said that America was ahead OF Eng
land in the matter of cheap production
of the manufactured article, because of
the labor-saving machinery used in
this country. American bullocks, he
declared, were brought to England to
be killed, and their hides were shipped
back to America to be made into shoes
for the English market

" Monkey Men. "

The bicycle crank who humps him
self and scOrches is drawing upon him
self the unfavorable attention of the
press and people of the whole country.
Hardly day passes without some &C
cident which is brought about by the
recklessness of those hair Drained riders
who persist in racing through crowded
thorOughfares and driveways. The l..
A. w. Bulletin, official organ of wheel
men, has this to say about them:
If the 'scorcher' has any friends in
the crowd they should come to his res
cue. If he has any redeeming quality
that would help,t to mitigate the ofense
he commits against society it should be
made known at once. They say he is a
distressing thing to see and a danger
Gus thing to meet, and that no gentle
man was ever induced to take up with
bicycling by observing the antics of a
monkey man. They say also that if
there is any one type of bicyclists that
represents the ungraceful, ungentle-
manly side of wheeling, il is the scorch-
er and his companion, the gum Chew
ing, loud-talking bike girl. AS a
matter of course, this class of persons
are no worse on the wheel than off, but
the bicycle gives them more of chance
to get up to the top of the column, next
to reading matter, where they appear
sadly conspicuous. Searching, of itself,
is not so bad, but the how and when
and where should be carefully thought
of. The best place for it is on an oval
track, inside of high board fence.
The street and highway scorchers have
made enemies, who, in turn, have dis
liked all wheel riders. The fewer
scorchera there are the more kindly the
non-riding public Ell feel toward the
bicycle"

SIXTY YEARS MARRIED.
A Former Kenosha Couple Celebrate the
Event

Friday, May 20, there occurred an
unusual celebration in the town OF
Kewanee. The occasion was the six
tieth anniversary of the marriage of
Mr.. and Mrs. Nelson Lay of that place.
All Of the children and many grand
children were present, twenty-six in
all sitting down at the dinner table
that day. Mr.. and Mrs. Lay claim the
distinction of being the first white
couple married in Kenosha county,
Wisconsin, Mr.. Lay walking twenty
five miles to Milwaukee, then in Michi-
gan Territory, to secure the license.
In 1854 Mr.. Lay and two others laid
out the town of Kewanee, and assisted
in establishing the first public school
and church in the place. Born in
Saybrook, Conn.,, Mr.. Lay has now at
tanned his eighty-ffth year, Mrs. Lay
hailing from New York State, being in
her seventy ninth year. None present
seemed to enjoyed the occasion more
than they, and to all appearances they
they may live to celebrate several
more anniversaries of their wedding
day.-Inter Ocean.

WILL TAP KENosHA COUNTY
Chicago and Inland Lakes Railway Com
pany to Run Through Wilmot

pany TO Run through W1lmot.
The trolley is to pierce the southern
Wisconsin lake regions. Two hundred
and twenty five miles of electric road
has been projected from Chicago to
summer resorts to haul Chi
cagoans there in the torrid season
and cart Wisconsin ice to Chicago
when the mercury fingers around the
bottom of the thermometer. The
deeds for the right of way from Evans
ton to Wilmot, Wis, are in the vaults
of the Chicago & Inland Lakes railway
in Chicago. Negotiations for the re-
naming portions of the route are be-
ing made by the men who are pushing
the scheme.
Besides touching eighty-one lakes
and coming near score of others it is
planned that branches of this newest
venture in Chicago railroad building
will touch Madison, Milwaukee and
Lake Geneva. The road will traverse
three counties in Illinois and seven in
Wisconsin, and will at no point be less
than two miles and at most points ten
miles from competing roads.
Plans of the New Company.
The route as now surveyed will run
from the heart of Chicago to Evanston.
From that point the road7runs in a
northwesterly direction to Wheeling,
Lake Zurich and Wauconda. On
either side of Wheeling an old grade
twenty three miles in length has been
secured for the roadbed. From Wau-
conda, Ill, the route stretches through
the lake region to Wilmot, Wis, on the
Fox river. Here the road branches,
one line continuing to the northwest
and tapping Geneva, Elkhorn, White
water, Cold Spring, Jefferson and
WATERFOWL, the latter being the ter
minus. At Geneva a branch is planned
to run through to Delavan, and at
Whitewater another branch will be
constructed to Madison.
From Wilmot the other line is to take
a northeasterly direction and reaches
Milwaukee. From Wind lake a branch
to Waukesha leaves the main line.
From Burlington, Wis, to Milwaukee
an old grade Of thirty-fve miles has
been secured, and the road will use
most of this as portion of its roadWay.
The road from. Chicago to Wilmot will
be rock ballasted and double tracked.
From that point to the terminus of the
several branches the road will be single
track. The falls of the Fox river at
Wilmot, it is announced, will furnish
power for the entire plant and all the
current will be generated there.
Seven miles of the road-that in
Chicago-it is said, will be elevated.
The remaining 218 will be surface road
and on this section trolley wires will be
used.
Trains to Move a Mile a Minute.
There will be no grade crossings and
the projectors claim that their trains
will be sent over the rails at the rate of
mile a minute. The heaviest rails
and most modern construction will be
used and the equipment will be the
same as that now in use on the Metro
politan elevated in Chicago.
The officers of the company are:
Alfred E. Case, president; S. Marcus
Rothschild, vice-president; G. D.
Green, secretary; f. Boden, treasurer,
and A. j. Toolen, general manager.
