THE SOCIAL WORLD.
Mr.. AND MRS. w. S. FORREST
ENTERTAIN THEIR FRIENDS.
DELIGHTFUL DANCING PARTY.
Bazaar Under the Direction of st. George
Church opens Under Auspicious Cir
cumstances-Eas star Members
Are Banqueted in Racine.

One of the most elaborate receptions
ever held in Kenosha was given at
Simmons Hall Thursday evening by
Mr.. and Mrs. W. S. Forrest, of Chicago,
who are spending the summer here.
The reception was given to introduce
the Misses Wilson, daughters OF Major
Wilson, q. S. A., and the Misses
Maulsby, of Frederick, Md, who are
spending the summer in this CITY, and
certainly their entering into Kenosha
society could not have been more de-
lightful.
The hall was decorated for the occa-
sion until it looked like some fairy
bower. Palms and ferns were placed
in every nook and corner of the room
and all about we're draped huge gar
lands of asparagus ferns, among which
were scattered great punches of sweet
peas, carnations and American Beauty
roses. The stage, which had been ar
ranged for the musicians, was verlt-
able bank of palms and ferns. Little
coy corners were arranged all about
the room and formed very pleasant
spots for conversational parties between
the dances.
Dancing was the feature of the eve
ming, the music being furnished by
Fitzgerald's orchestra of Chicago, and
it was the verdict of all that the music
was the most beautiful ever heard in
this city. Every dance called forth a
hearty encore from the dancers and the
large crowd of sigbtseers on the street
below gave the musicians unstinted
applause.
Mr.. and Mrs. Forrest were assisted
in entertaining by Mr.. and Mrs. j. Fl.
Kimball, Mr.. and Mrs. N. A. Rowe, the
Misses Wilson, the Misses Maulsby and
Miss Kimball.
Some of the costumes of the ladies
were exceedingly beautiful and ming
ling with the flowers and palms under
| the subdued lights the scene produced
was one of rare beauty. Refreshments
were served in the gallery of the hall.
The tables were very prettily arranged
being decorated with smilax and maiden
hair ferns and large punches of red
carnations. Experimentation were
furnished by red candles in black
candelebra. The refreshments were
furnished by Kupfer.
Kenosha society was out in full
orce and many guests were present
from out of town. Among the guests
from a distance we're Miss Hand, of
Racine; the Misses Maulsby, of Fred
erick,z Md; the Misses Wilson, of
Richmond, Va, and Messrs. Farr and
Reed, of Waukegan; Adams, Hand
and Johnson, of Racine; Ed. Quarles,
of Milwaukee and Willoughby Walling,
Frantz Anderson and Charles Pike, of
Chicago.

ALIsI FoR KENNEDY.

The Accused Train Robber May Not Be
Guilty OF the Schumacher Murder.
KANSAS CITY, No, Feb. S-The 20
lice have woven a strong chain Of evil
dence about Jim Redmond as one Of
the murderers Of Miss Emma Schu-
macher. 1t is such convincing evidence
Of his guilt that should Redmond be
found and returned 70 this city there
is little doubt that he would be speed
ily convicted The police claim that
q net Of evidence fully as strong and
convincing has been wound around
Jack Kennedy, the accused train rob
Der. They say he was certainly the
companion and accomplice of Redmond
in the murder, but that Redmond fred
the fatal shot A portion Of the
public, however, believes that the
police and railroad and express com
pany detectives, who have been
working on the case with the police,
have overreached themselves in their
efforts to fasten the crime on Kennedy.
Yet the mass Of the public believes
him guilty and the evidence In this
direction seems very strong. Careful
investigation shows that Kennedy has
a very complete abb, which was vol
unteered in his behalf by people Of
apparently good reputation and stand
ing IN the community.

LONDON, Feb. 9. Parliament was
opened to-day with the customary
ceremonies The queens speech says
that the relations Of Great Britain with
other powers continue friendly; that
there is severe depression in the West
Indian colonies, caused by the heavy fall
in the price of sugar; that there is an or
ganized outbreak Of fanaticism in the
northwest borders Of the Indian en-
pire, but there was reason to antie-
ipate a prosperous year, both for agri-

India; that IN the estimates the duty
Of providing for the defense Of the
British empire involved an expendi-
ture beyond any former precedent
Dealing with the proposed legisla-

that measures viii be introduced for
the organization Of a system Of local
government in Ireland, substantially
similar to Great Britain's, to secure
the increased strength and efficiency
Of the army, amend the present cOndi-
tiOns Of military service, to enable ac-

A RIOT IN CHICAGO.
Desperate Battle Between Police and
Students in the Lake City.
Trouble Begun By students snovbaIIing, En
which the Police Interfersd-FOrty
Policemen and 1000 students
In tho tight


CHICAGO, Feb. 1.-TWO thousand stu
Chicago College Of Dental Surgery and
the Marquette school engaged In
desperate conflict yesterday afternoon
at Harrison and Wood streets with 40
policemen. The battle ragged with in
termissions Of peace from noon until
six o'clock in the evening. The police
were compelled to send IN riot calls re-
peatedly and in the early part Of the
.scrimmage they were badly wOrsted-
It was a Eee-for-all, rough and tumble
fight
When the students were finally pat
TO route, they retreated to the prOtec-
ton Of the college buildings From
there they hurled all kinds Of missiles
upon the police, who were wildly chas-
ing the offenders A glass Jar, filed
with paste, was thrown from the
fourth floor Of the College Of Dental
Surgery. 1t struck Policeman Bren-
nan upon the right arm, knocking him
to the ground and forcing HIM to re-
lease his club, with which he was try
ing to chastise the fleeing students.
JanitOr Gus ChristiansOn. of the Mar
quette school, was badly beaten. Chris
tiansOn was only lately clothed with
police power, and he endeavOred to as
sist the police The students fell upon
him and he had to be carried from the
field Of battle.
1t was found necessary to summon
police wagons from the Warren ave
nue., Lake street and Desplaines street
station. The streets in the vicinity Of
the colleges were black with people
Twice prisoners were wrested from the
police by the students The students
hOwled and jeered at the police. This
defiance caused the police 70 lose con
troll Of themselves and they rushed
mRdly about in a wild effort to arrest
every one in sight. Brandishing clubs
and revOlvers, they chased the students
inside the college doors aud forcibly
took them from the buildings When
the riot was over and peace reigned p
students had been placed under arrest.
The prisoners were taken to the Lake
street station, where they were kept
until nine o'clock. when the last Of
them was bailed out.
The trouble began by the students
engaging in a SNOWFALL fight IN which
the police interfered, and then the
students joined forces and attacked
the officers. For a time the row was
gOod-natured, but the fighting instinct
came to the surface in a short time,
and numerous scrimmages resulted
The grand battle began at five p m,
when the officers arrested Carl Case,
the son of a professor in the dental
school, and who is said to have been
innocent The students took him
away from the officers, and later,
when another prisoner was locked In a
patrol box, the students smashed the
box, rolled the officers in the gutter
and released the prisoner. During the
fight, four students were badly
dubbed, and Officers Sullivan and
Brennan were injured in a manner
sufficiently severe to give them lay
of Of one week or Whereabouts.
