DEATH OF MRS. LUCY E. HALL.
One of Our Best known Residents Ex-
pires After Protracted Illness.

Lucy E., relict of Daniel Hall, de-
parted this life at her residence, 413
Fourth street, Saturday afternoon
shortly before o'clock, at the AGE of
6S years. She had been confined to
her home since winter with an organic
disease that was known to be slowly
ebbing her life away, yet with that
enduring fortitude characteristic of
her she patiently bore her suffering
and calmly awaited the final summons.
She had ever lived in the simple per-
formance of a Christian duty and she
passed away in the full realization of
a blessed immortality.
Mrs. Hall was a native of the state
of Massachusetts, her ancestors being
old Puritan stock. When quite young
she removed with her family to Lock-
port, n. T., where size continued to
reside until her marriage to Daniel
Hall, on September l, 1852, after
which the couple came West and
located in this city Mr.. Hall, who
died in July, 1895, engaged in the
practice Of law here, and, as is we'll
known, became one of the leading at
torneys Of Wisconsin. He also repre-
sented this district in the assembly
several terms, and served as speaker
of that body. Mrs. Hall was the
mother of one son, Arthur D., who
died in 1888, and one daughter, the
latter dying in infancy. She was the
sister of Daniel Newhall, a pioneer of
Milwaukee, and builder of the we'll
known old hostelry, the Newhall
house, the direful destruction of which
by fire is d matter of history.
During her long residence in Water
town Mrs. Hall became widely known,
and she enjoyed to a marked degree
the respect and esteem Of all. She pos
sessed a gracious and kindly manner,
which rendered her every intercourse
pleasant and friendly. In many
different ways she lent helping hand
to the needy, and her acts of charity
and kindness in this direction will
forever revere her memory. She
was a steadfast disciple of the Congre-
gational faith, and had long been
actively associated with the work of
the local church.
The funeral Of Mrs. Hall was held
yesterday afternoon from her late resi-
dence at 2 O'Clock. Religious services
were conducted by Rev. G. G. Weiss,
of the Congregational church, and by
Mrs. Halls old pastor, Rev. j. N.
Campbell, of Lombard, Ill. A male
quartette composed Of E. L. Schempf,
William Sproesser, DIR. 0. E. Meyer
and Max ROhr rendered appropriate
music. The honorary pallbearers were
Colonel Daniel Jones, M. j. Woodland,
DR.. Edward Johnson, j. L. Moak and
Jesse Stone, while w. A. Beurhaus,
T. Z. WOOdard, r. II. Brennecke, G.
A. Skinner, W. G.. Stone and William
Meyer served as active pallbearers.
The remains found last resting place

the late husband and the son of the
deceased.

War Relief Fund,

A beautiful picture displayed in A.
Quentmeyer's show window attracts
considerable attention from passers-
by. 1t typifes the uprising of the
American people in the cause of lib
erty and was inspired by the existing
conditions regarding Cuba. Mr. Quent-
meyer is taking subscriptions for the
picture at 81 apiece. The money thus
secured is to be sent to New York
publishing house, which has launched
this scheme to raise 81, 900, 900 for the
Red Cross society and the Central
Cuban Relief committee appointed by
President Mckinley, in aid of the
starving Cubans and sick and wounded
soldiers. The publishing house has
selected merchants throughout the
country to take subscriptions for the
picture and it is desired that the fund
be raised Immediately Each subscip-
tion is really considered a donation of
81 to the fund and the picture is sent
as a souvenir. An earnest appeal for
subscriptions is made to all patriotic
citizens.

FRO1 WATERFOWL

About sixty-fve S students of the
Northwestern university ofW Watertown,
composing the military organization
and military band, marched from
WatertCwn to Juneau last Wednesday
afternoon, starting shortly after l
o'clock and arriving here shortly after
6 o'clock. The sturdy young men did
not permit the heavy rain and thunder
storm that prevailed all the afternoon
to interrupt their march or mar it III
the least. They marched into the
city in true military style, with the
band playing and the colors flying
The students were in full military
uniform and as they came into the
city lead by their drum major, they
presented a fine appearance, which
aroused the admiration and cheers of
the Juneau people who were out in
full force to greet them. They
marched through the city and came to
a halt in front Of the residence of Judge
Christensen. In the evening the
young gentlemen were entertained by
Judge Christensen at his spacious
and hospitable home and a large
number of citizens called to pay their
respects and to enjoy the entertain
ment provided for the evening. The
Judge, than whom there is no better
entertainer, had his guests in high
spirits throughout the evening and

Baseball.

The Whitewater Normals played
the Sacred Heart college team on the
latter's grounds Saturday afternoon
and won by a score of Z to 6. 1t was
a hard game for the Sacred Hearts to
lose, as they had it we'll in hand until
ever half the playing had been done.
Gleason pitched in mastery style for
the collegians, and had he been prop
erly supported at the critical points
would have shut out his opponents.
Whitewater secured very few safe hits,
and Sacred Heart was not heavy
with the stick either; but a few
long hits in the early part of the game
were productive Of majority of the
latter's runs. Errors, some fast base
running and a safe hit gave Whitewa-
ter the lead in the sixth inning, and
they managed to retain it to the close.
II. Kronitz umpired the game very
satisfactorily.
The Crescents went to Juneau Sun
day and played the strong team re-
Gently organized there, returning with
the story of a defeat, 8 to 5. Berndt
and Schulz were in the points for
our team, while Joss and WaIther
were Juneau's battery. The Water
town boys held their own in batting,
but their fielding is said to have been
yellow. 1t is evident they will have
to take brace in this line if they ex-
pect to win many games this summer.

entertained right royalty. Refresh
ments were served and if there was
any one present who did not enjoy
himself, it was his own fault. The
band rendered number of choice
selections, which were interspersed
with vocal music.
Judge Christensen addressed those
present, especially the students, in his
characteristic, pleasing manner, and
he was frequently interrupted with
hearty applause. He referred feel
ingly to former Captain Messer, of the
n. w. D. military company, who is
now in the volunteer army, and three
rousing cheers for the brave volunteer
were given. At the conclusion three
cheers and the college yell were,
given for the Alma Mater.
On Thursday afternoon the company
marched to the city park, where over
one thousand people were assembled,
and engaged in sham battle. They
went through all the drill exercises

the large concourse of people. About

institutions of the United States
