An Error Corrected.

A few days ago Kenosha papers
stated that the Sterling Cycle works
had received an order for 5000 wheels
from Australia, and that every man
would be put to work. The same
papers in Saturdays issue say that the
Sterling people laid off seventy-tive
men.-Racine News.
Pardon US, Bro. News, but you are
entirely wrong. This paper plainly
stated last Thursday that there was q
rumor afoat to the effect that toe
Sterling people had an order fr0a
Australia for 5000 wheels, but that in
curry at the factory failed to confirm
it. Then Saturday night our paper
stated that seventy-fve men had been
laid off, which was true. This latter
report was not seen in any other paper.
No such order has been received at the
Sterling factory to date.

HOT CRooUET GAMES.
Patty White and Pete" ste1nbach win
Two Out of Three.

There was warm game of croquet
out at the tavern Sunday afternoon. a
number of Kenoshans had wandered
out that way and among the lot We're
Jim White and George Hof, two fat
men, and Peter Steinbach and John
Writ. two lean men. Between them
they lowed they could play croquet, so
it didn't take long to arrange all the
preliminaries to the match. White
and Steinbach, fat and a lean, took
one side, and Hoff and Writ took the
other. The games were to be played
for two out of three. They furnished
an immense amount of amusement for
the crowd gathered there. The two
games were won by White and Stein
bach amid uproarious cheers. The
two winners now think they are " de
hull ting" in croquet.

RICHELIEU WAS FINE.
The Opening of the Week s Engagement of
william owen Great Success

Rhode opera house was crowded
nearly to its capacity Monday evening
by one of the most intelligent audiences
which has gathered there at any one
time during the past season to witness
the opening performance of the William
Owen company in Richelieu." In
almost every way the performance was
a most satisfactory one. The work of
Mr.. owen as " Richelieu" was, of
course, of the greatest Importance. He
was able to portray the great arts Of
the diplomat with consummate skill
and he did it in such manner as to
win the rapturous applause of the audi
ence at various places. The company
is without a doubt one of the best
which has presented plays here. The
audience was thoroughly pleased with
their work, and it seems safe to predict
that there will be full houses most of
the week.

JUMPED INTO THE LAKE.
An Unknown Man Suicides From the
Steamer Virginia

When the steamer Virginia was off
Racine en- her return from Milwaukee
Monday evening a man jumped over
board. His identity is a mystery
No one among the passengers seemed
to know who he was, and he left moth
ing behind to tell anything in regard to
him. There was a fresh northeast
wind blowing and considerable sea was
running.
The first time the man climbed upon
the railing he was caught by bystand-
ers. 1t was thought he had been
drinking and he was not confined.
A little later he appeared on the up
per deck which was nearly deserted
Watching his opportunity he leaped
over the rail and then into the lake.
The cry "man overheard" was
raised at once and the steamer stopped.
A lifeboat in charge of one of the mates
was hurriedly lowered and rowed to
the spot where the man was last seen,
but the sea was so rough that his res
cue, even had he not attempted to
make way with himself, would have
been unlikely. Finally the boat was
recalled and the Virginia resumed her
run to Chicago, arriving little late.

THE WESTON WILL QUIT.
Has Not Received Enough Business to
Make Il Pay-Lacked Push.

The steamer J. M. Weston, which
has been carrying freight between here
and Chicago for the past two weeks, is
about to 60 out of business as far as
the transfer of freight or passengers
between here and Chicago is con
cerned. The agent for the boat made
the above remark today, adding that
tomorrow would be the last day on
which the boat will make the trip. She
will, however, remain in the city for
some time at least for the purpose of
taking out excursion parties. About
week ago the captain of the Weston
was reported as saying that he would
give up business unless it proved more
profitable during the current week
than in the previous one. Why the
enterprise has proved failure is evil
dent, it being due both to lack of push
on the part of the boat company and
the consequent lack of patronage by
the local merchants. All who did any
business with the boat express great
satisfaction.

JUST ESCAPED DROWNING.
Christ. Petersen. of Chicago. Goes Down
the Third Time, but is Dragged out.

the Third Time, but is Dragged Out.
Christ. Petersen very narrowly es-
capped drowning while bathing in Pike
creek Sunday afternoon. 1t was about
4 O'Clock that Petersen and one or two
other young men went down to the
creek for a swim. Mr.. Petersen was
swimming across the creek when he
got his mouth full of water and think
ing he was in one of the shallow places
in which the creek abounds tried to
place his feet on the bottom 1t hap
pened that instead of being in shallow
water he was in the midst of one Of
those dangerous holes which have
brought death to so many. He went
down nearly twelve feet filling hislungs
so full of water that when he rose to
the surface he could not handle him
self and as result went down again.
He went down the third time and did
not come up. Fred Hellstrom, who
was in the water at the time, had his
attention called TO Petersen's predica-
ment and fastened to his help When
he reached the place where Petersen
had last been seen to sink he waited a
moment and then dove. When he
came up after few moments he had
Petersen with him, raising him by the
hair of his head. He managed to drag
the unconsci )us half dead man nearly
to the shore when Fred Grail came to
his assistance. Together they drew
Petersen upon to the bank. He was
insensible when the boys went to work
at him, but fortunately for him his
companions knew their business and
after working over him for some time
succeeded in resuscitating him.
The three men are from Chicago and
are employed on the pier. Today Mr..
Petersen is himself again, but natural
~ feels very much indebted to Fred
Hellstrom for his we'll timed assist

1t is generally thought, however, that

Can the Civil Service Commission Hold

Him IN once, or NOT.
Atlanta, Ca, Nov 16-Tne fight in the
Atlanta po.toffice between Major ]. NJ.
Couper, the present assistant, and Ma
jor W. II. Smith. the new postmaster, is
growing very warm. Last night when
Major Smith took charge Of his office he
went to Major Copper and demanded
that ne turn over his possessions 10 Mrs.
F. F. Blodgett, whom the latter had
appointed in his place. Major Coupe-
strenuously refused to accede TO Major
Smiths demands and wont before Judge
Newman and received a restraining or-
der against the new postmaster. The
civil service commission mas been asked
for their opinion in the m1teer. TIE
case will be argued before Judge New
man. II is the first OF its kind the civil
service commission mas ever been called
upon to decide and it's outcome is await
ed with interest throughout the United
States.
Washington, Nov. 16.-Tne appeal OF
Major Cooper of Atlanta, Ga, from mis-
removal az an assistant postmaster IN
favor of Major Smythe has reached mere.
The civil service commission, however,
can give no relief for the action, for an
amendment to the civil service rules
made by President Mckinley on July q.
last, excerpts one assistant postmaster.
or chief assistant TO the postmaster. OF
whatever designation, at each postoffice,
from the civil service requirements for
examina ton or registration before the
commission. Chairman Proctor of the
commission, who returned tonight from
New York, stated that under this rule
there was no action the commission
could take in this matter. and the discre-
ton thus given the postmaster was only
restricted by forbidding removals for
political purposes. If the postmaster
gives no reason for the removal, there IS
no remedy for the deposal.

Unprecedented in the annals Of lyric ar.
To repeat the story OF her triumph is
needless. Her superb voice. her fascinai-
ing half-oriental dances. her caressing
gestures, her black eyes, irresistible
mirth-these and the Undesirable
something more, make up the dazzling
psrsonation by which tine artist has
made her name famous in every part OF
the world.
Her marvellous artist temperament has
made her great actress. but this brings
its own price, and as great hearts know
great griefs, great temperaments must
know great nervous strain, consequent
