moment, that his wife was totally un-
prepared for such an incursion. His
friends gladly accepted, all having
previously sat ut the Judges table,
which was provided over by one of the
most accomplished housekeepers in
the city. Besides, she is brilliant
woman in conversation and accom-
plished in every way. The guests
therefore looked forward to most
enjoyable evening.
When the party arrived at the
Judges home they we're received by
the hostess in her usual charming
manner, not a sign being visible to
them, that they were unexpected
guests. The host, however, caught a
look of his wife's eye which reminded
him forcibly that there was here
after. The lady was entirely equal TO
the occasion. She did not fuss and
frown, and make things unpleasant
all around. She accepted the situa-
ton with good grace and made tho
best of it,
The modest meal was served as
promptly rs possible, and although it
was not n sumptuous banquet, it was
at least agreeable to guests and host.
When dinner was over, Just before
leaving the gentlemen to their cigars,
the hostess arose, and, flashing an
amused glance ut her husband, said:
"Gcntlemon, remember you have
dinei with the Judge this evening.
Will you do me the honor of dining
with me this day wcek?"
The keen.witted lawyers took in the
situation, and amid chorus of laugh.

Our people have not gone politically
insane. Bryan is appealing to the
lowest elements of humanity. He
scored Tillman for remarks against the
supreme court and Landed that tribunal
and hoped to see the day when women
could remove the polls from the
saloons nearer to the churches.
Gen. Thomas j. Steward also paid a
glowing tribute to Gen. Fairchild. He
said he came to bring the congratula-
tons Of Pennsylvania, which would go
for Mckinley by half a million major
ity. Down there they love the old
soldier as you do in Wisconsin. You've
got al old soldier up for president and
are extremely fortunate in having
an old Pennsylvania soldier ur for gov
ernor. The men and women of Penn
sylvania love Maj. Scofeld and they
hope and believe that the love OF the
men and women of Wisconsin is as
great. He asked the young men to lay
aside everything and vote for credit,
integrity and confidence in each other.
1t was these which built our towns,
railroads and states.
Gen. Russell A. Alger said he wished
to turn the command over to Maj. SEQ
field. A pail rests over the land. Our
resources are great, We have plenty OF
money, but there is dread of uncer-
tainty of what tomorrow will bring
forth. All we need to do is to restore
confidence and to redeem every pledge
we owe in honest dollars. He appealed
TO the young men to build up their
characters for honesty. He introduced
Maj. Scofield, who was given an
ovation.
Maj. Scofeld said he had not come to
make speech, but to pilot these old
veterans through the state. He
thanked the audience for its kindly at
tention.
AS the speaking finished Gen. How
ard called for three cheers for McKin-
ley They were given with a will.
Then three cheers we're given Major
Scofeld and the meeting dispersed.
The Grand Army boys went up onto
the platform and shook the hands OF
the veterans all around.

i BROKE THE RECORD.
The Milwaukee Chicago Record Lowered
by scnenkenberger.

E. III. Schenkenberger; OF the Fowler
Cycling club, of Chicago, reduced the
Milwaukee Chicago record Sunday.
He rode the distance in five hours and
twelve minutes. The former record
was six hours and twenty three min
utes, made by Emil Ulbricht in Sep
TENDER, 1894.
Schenkenberger left Milwaukee Sun
day morning at 11:30 o'clock and ar
rived at the Randolph street entrance
to the city hall at 4:42 o'clock. He was
paced the entire distance, and had not
the wind been so strong he probably
would have ridden the distance nclose
to 4:30. He was paced from Mllwau-
kee to Racine over twenty-siX miles OF
the toughest part Of the distance by
E. r. Miller and Charles Christensen
on a tandem. They took him the dis
lance in l:2O. From Racine to Wau-
kegan Fl. w. Crane and NJ. L. Smith
paced him, reaching Waukegan at 2:l5
o'clock. The distance is fifty-tWo
miles and was covered in 2:4o. From
Waukegan to Highland Park G. E.
Waterman and W. W. Fern hurried him
behind their tandem to Evanston,
reaching that point at 1858 o'clock.
Schenkenberger was met there by two
tandem teams, composed Of Leonard
E. LANCE and Harry Fl. Wylie and p.
Hotheimer and FL Hichtenstaedt. The
Quartette rushed him down the Sheri-
dan drive through the maze of vehicles
and bicycles to the city hall, where he
finished.
The party reached Kenosha at ex-
actly Il o'clock and passed the office
of this paper at just 1905 p. N. All
the local cyclists fell in line who were
on the street, but they did not keep up
very we'll. SchenkenbeIger was going
at a fine rate and did not spend but
little time going through. He came
down the lake road to Milwaukee ave-
nue., through Main street to Park ave-
nue., by way of Park place and Prairie
avenue to Ashland avenue and from
there straight south to Waukegan.
