GAVE A FINE TALK.
william owen Gives Pupils High Idea
of the Theater.

AS per an arrangement which haC
been made with William owen. that
gentleman appeared before the high
school to give the pupils short talk
on the theater in general and Shakes
peare in particular. The talk was q
short and informal affair but was
pleasing in the extreme. Immediately
after the school had been called tC
order Mr.. Owef stepped into the school
room and after q very brief introduc-
ton by Prof Wiswall he addressed
the pupils as 6 fellow students He
said he felt like big brother of theirs
| who had been away on journey and
had returned to tell the story of what
he had seen and heard. He then told
an interesting story to illustrate stage
! fright, and amusingly told his auditors
that he felt as though he had platform
| fright"
The theater," lie said, twas
greater than Shakespeare and Shakes
peare was the outgrowth Of it, as all
great actors had been. There is a
scientific reason for the theater," he
aSsented, and then proceeded to show
that acting began with the merest
childhood. Dramotic feeling inheres
in all human life and begins with the
earliest childhood. When girl plays
with her dolls and makes them sit at a
tea table and talk and gossip, she is an
actress. a boy who has hobby
horse, tin sword and helmet went
forth to as many victories as Napoleon,
as an actor.
The epic and sonnet poets, he as
serted, wrote by life, while the dra-
natic poet gave life itself. He closed
with an earnest appeal to tht students
to take the word " theater" in its
broadcast sense, and discard that which
tended merely to the payment of opera
house rents, and support whenever
possible that which was true, noble
and grand only.
Immediately after the talk Mfr.
Owen read the lines of {" Hamlet's First
Soliloquy." This was done in mas
terly manner and with such feeling
as to greatly impress his auditors. At
the close of the program Mr.. owen was
rewarded with hearty applause.
Prof. Wiswall thanked the actor for
his kindness and Mr.. Owen at once
withdrew.

II. G. SCHULZ REPLIES.
He Makes Answer to His wife's Suit for
Divorce.

The answer and the counter claim In
the divorce proceeding by Mrs. Cora
Schulz against her husband, ii. c.
Schulz, has been completed by Attor-
ney L. G.. Bohmrich and alleges
large number of things, among which
are the following:
In the first place Mr.. Schulz denies
all the allegations of the complaint.
Then as counter claim sets up that
prior to the marriage the plaintiff was
dressmaker and had been here but
short time; that she told him that her
position was very unsatisfactory and
degrading one to her; that she had
been previously married and granted q
divorce; that the disruption was due
to family quarrels and troubles.
Prior to the marriage, ahe alleges, tne
plaintiff called on him frequently at his
place of business, and he believed her
honest in her devotions and married
her. He alleges that she promised to
be loving mother to his son. He
says that he advised her that his
business was limited, that he had ne
other means but the small revenue
therefrom; that he was indebted some
what and he would be compelled te
use economy; that she promised to live
within such means; and that the de-
PENDANT has kept his marriage vows
and performed his duty as husband
The next counterclaim is that
soon after said marriage the
plaintiff began to insult, abuse, was
harsh and used cruel and inhumaR
treatment toward this defendant and
that this conduct has increased in vr-
ulence and degree, so that he considers
it improper and unsafe to live with her
that she became cross and ugly
began to find fault with, swear at,
scold and upbraid him without
any cause or provocation therefor;
that these things have continued until
life has become an almost unbearable
burden to him; that this was done be-
fore his son, who had been instructed
to be obedient to her.
On the occasion of Oct. %, on which
date Mrs. Schulz alleges abusive treat
ment, Mr.. Schulz sets up the counter
claim that without cause or prOvOca-
ton she assaulted, beat, kicked,
bruised and wounded this defendant,
kicking him violently in the abdomen
and throwing at him dishes which
broke upon his head and face, and
calling him vile and insulting names,
from which bruises this defendant was
sore and sick for long time.
He then alleges that on May IA,
1897, she used vile and indecent
language to him in his and in the pres
ence of others; that she has since done
the same thing.
In answer to the property part of
the complaint he practically holds that
he has no more than is necessary to
maintain himself and his home with the
Indebtedness thereon.
In demanding judgment he asks for
q divorce, and for such other relief as
the court may deem just and equitable

WANTS SOMETHING DONE.
Feter Rhode Thinks East Market Street
is a Disgrace to the city,

Since the condition of our streets is
being aired and the work done on the
same is receiving some attention from
the common council, ] would respect
fully ask that some notice be taken OF
Market street, east from Main street.
Twelve years ago, when there were no
streets paved and hardly any work was
done on our streets, it was fairly good
country road. Today it is disgrace
to the community. Almost no atten-
ton is given to it, and whatever work
has been done is of such character
as to leave the street worse than ever.
There is a great deal of heavy team
ing on this east end of Market street,
to the coalyard, the waterworks, the
lumber yards, and the factory of
the Northwestern Wire Mattress COM
pany. In dry time it is dust knee deep
and after rain it is full of mud holes.
The street supervisor has done no
work on this street for two or three
years, and it has been in bad condition
ever since he improved it by deep
blowing. l have been a resident on
this East Market street for twelve
years, and paid large sum in taxes to
support our city government; and
would like the council and the public
generally to take look at it. If this
is sample OF our street supervisors
work l think Alderman Gonnerman is
to be sustained and thanked for his
vigorous criticism of the holder of that
Office. PETER RHODE.

THE MERCHANT OF VENICE.
The Opening Night for owen a Very
Big One.

The Opening Night for owen a Very
Big One.
Notwithstanding the inclemency of
the weather there was a very large
house out to greet William Owen on his
return engagement at the Rhode. The
house was not only full, it was loaded.
Long before the curtain rose there was
nothing but standing room to be had.
Before the board left Woodward &
Conley's store at about o'clock there
were but three single seats to be had
down stairs, and but very little more
than "nigger heaven" was left up
stairs. The high school pupils testified
their appreciation of Mr.. Ovens kind
ness in addressing them by attending
in large numbers. The audience was
almost all made up of the refinement
and culture of the city.
The play was we'll staged. Mr..
owen in the title role of Shylock, ="
the Jew, was very good-indeed, he
was splendid, considering that this was
the first time he bad ever essayed the
part.
The fact is that this was the first
time the company ever played " The
Merchant" and. therefore, the mem
bers are entitled to some little consid-
Grafton in their several parts. In tive
or three places the lines were lost, but
not sufficiently to mar the presenta-
ton very perceptibly.
Miss Baker as Portia" rather out
did any previous performance she ever
gave in this city.
Antonio, the Merchant" was taken
by j. W. Mcconnell we'll, while j. r.
Amory as Launcelot Gobbo." was
Just as funny as he has ever been.
Claude Soares DIS Bossanion would
have been better had he sufficient con-
fidence in himself and his lines to let
his words get beyond his lips instead of
letting them die in his throat. All the
other parts were admirably taken.
The crowd was very appreciative
and attempted to call Owen before the
curtain in the middle of one of the
acts, but we're unable to do SO at that
time.

GOT 6 CENTS DAMAGES.
James Rouen Gets That out of the H.,
r. K. Electric Road.

r. K. Electric Road.
A suit brought some months ago by
James Rouen, of the town of Oak
Creek, against the Milwaukee, Racine
& Kenosha Railroad company, for the
recovery of $4,000 damages alleged to
have been done his property by the
building of the line in the road abut-
ting his property, was decided on
Saturday in favor Of Mr.. Rouen, who
was awarded 6 cents damages The
result of this suit has been watched
with great deal of interest by electric
line projectors and publishers of
electrical trade papers, who have
made frequent inquiries of the officers
of the railroad company in regard to
the suit. 1t was a test case to the
extent of deciding for the first time in
the state the amount Of damages to
which property owners were entitled by
the building of such a line in the
public highway.
This suit was the outcome of the
crossing war at South Milwaukee be-
tween the Milwaukee, Racine & Keno
sha railroad and the Chicago & North
western railroad, the latter refusing its
permission to the Racine road to cross
it's tracks because it had not secured a
right of way by condemnation pro-
ceedings, as provided In the case of
the building of railways intended for
freight as we'll as passenger transpor-
tation.
"The Supreme court held that a
road running through the country and
carrying freight, as this road was
authorized to do, was something more
than street railway" said Judge D.
FL. Johnson, and added, possibly, a
burden to the people out of whose land
the highways were carved which the
ordinary use would not impose upon
them. It was at the same time held to
be necessary to provide for damages,
where damages we're incurred of that
nature. The legislature promptly
passed an act that the damages should
be appraised the same as in the case of
an ordinary railroad, to remove the
stain Of nconstitutionality. An ap-
plication was therefore made to ap-
praise the damages done to MI. ROuen,
and the commissioners for that purpose
were appointed by me. The case
seemed to be amicable, as there was no
dispute about my appointing the com
and | think there was no
discussion about who the commission
ers should be. They seemed to be
satisfactory to both parties and l
named them without knowing who
they we're.
Vice-P President A. W. Bisnop, of the
Milwaukee, Racine & Kenosha Rail-
road company, said Sunday that his
company considered the suit test
case. Mr.. Rouen's farm is a large one,
and is situated on both sides of the
road, about a mile and half south of
South Milwaukee. Mr.. Rouen will
probably appeal from the decision of
the commission and ask for a jury trial.
The commissioners, Charles Merrill,
B. Held and T. Morrissey, met upon
the premises to determine the amount
of damages to which Rouen might be
entitled. They awarded him 6 cents.
The commissioners were from Mil
waukee.

FIRE MONDAY NIGHT.
Barn is Destroyed in Which Two Hor-
ses Perish.


A fire occurred at 6:45 p. N. Monday
in barn at the corner of Dayton and
Pleasant streets, owned by Thomas
Allis. Mr.. Allis left for Chicago on
the five train and had man to do the
chores about the barn. About five
minutes after the man came out of the
barn the fire was discovered aud an
alarm turned in which was responded
to promptly but, on account of the in
famable contents of the barn, too late
to save it. Two horses we're in the
barn and could not be gotten out Sc
were burned to death. The damage
will amount to from $400 to $500. In
surance on barn, horses, feed, etc.,
$3.50. The cause of the fire is not
known, but there are a number of Pc
culiar instances connected with it.
The prompt arrival of the fire depart
ment saved the house and surrounding
property. When the chemical arrived
the house was smoking, but the boys
soon stopped that.

Warner Library.

No publication ever before under
taken has met with such success as
Chas. Dudley Warmers New Library
of the Worlds Best Literature. While
yet in the course of publication, the
advance sales have reached nearly a
million volumes, the subscriptions
coming not from the United States
alone, but from such far-away lands as
China and Austria. Such a success,
richly as it is merited and gratifying as
it must be to every lover of true liter
allure, has been possible only through
the broadly popular character of the
Library itself and the extremely liberal
terms upon which, pending its compile
ton, it is offered. For the purpose of
introducing the work into q few homes
OF each community, and thus acquaint-
ing the public generally with its
standard qualities and far-reaching
educational value, the Library has
been distributed by Harper's Weekly
club, at an extremely low price, and
further, upon easy monthly payments.
It commends itself to the general
buyers of books, and especially to busy
men and women, whose time and
means are limited, for i've decisive
reasons:
l. 1t is the finest library that ever
has been or ever could be, compacted
into like compass. 1t includes the
worlds greatest writer's, and, further
more, the greatest work of the greatest
writer's. 1t represents the wealth of
10000 unsifted volumes; it includes all
epochs, types and forms of literature of
the world.
2. It's hundreds of critical essays, in
Interpretation and exposition of the
worlds great authors and literatures,
written by the foremost living men Of
letters, alike Of America and Europe,
provide endless delightful excursions
into every field of literature, and like
wise the means for the broadcast Gull
ture.
3. The library, through these inter-
pretative essays and what is given as
representative of the work of the
authors themselves, affords an un-
rivalled introduction to wide reading.
4. The library is biographical
history of literature such as has never
before been written.
5. The library is the most compre-
hensive work Of reference in literature.
With it's departments devoted to the
Famous Books of the World, to famous
single poems, and fugitive master
pieces, with it's dictionary of the
authors of. the world, (there is no such
dictionary in existence); and finally its
magnificent indexes, which put the
inquirer in immediate possession Of
every fact, name, date, title or subject
60 which reference may be made, there
is practically no item of information in
the whole range of literature which
this famous work will not supply.
About two thirds of the library is now
ready, and the entire work will be not
later than January.
The Introductory price will positively
advance December 1st Note this
fact and communicate with us at once
and we will put you in touch with
nearest agent of Harper's Weekly club,
who will give you further information
and submit proposition.

The Benefits of the Electric Line Already
Felt.
In conversation with r. III. Boyd, a
prominent real estate man, this morn
ing, he said that there was a better
feeling in real estate than for some
time previous. Especially was this
true with property that was lying
adjacent to the electric street car line,
along and in the vicinity of De Koven
avenue. Within few days he had
sold several lots, the last one being to
Charles Knoblock, which was located
on Villa street. Racine Times.
