"A Happy New Year.

Delight and pathos are inextricaoiy m;ncled with the thought of New Years day. It is only conventions, point of time; any other wouid do as we'll. Every day closes an oid year and begins new one, but TOT alI that we cannot help feeling that this day, which is agreed upon through. ont Christendom for the beginning ot a new year, is somehow unique. Inc nathos comes from the review of the mast. and from the sense that another notch has been cut for us on the stick of time. The delight arises from the anticipation of the new and better ex- periences of tho year to come. What interest any rational person could have | ;n having his fortune told is a mystery. The zest and charm of life consist | largely in the fact that each day IS like a new page in the story. If you wish to enjoy your book you do not | when it is half-read, turn to the clos ing chapter to discover how it turn'
 out. You do not thank anyone ios telling you the plot. It IS so Wit life. There is infinite satisfaction T
 each days contribution to the record You do not want to anticipate 1t. T
 would be a curse if anyone could tel
 YOU just what the year would bring 1t is just as reasonable to suppose tha the year will be happy as sad. Wh'
 can tell? Who can control thatl Ar

HOW TO MAKE A GIFT. The Wife of a New York Man
 Knew the May to Do It.

 "Are yous' she said. I'm glad. Then after a minute she asked: "How will you send it?"
 sBy check, of course,o was the re nlv. "How else could IF"
 But the wife demurred. Tt seems a little too-too sordid, doesn't 1t, for a man like MT. B.? Let me man. age- may I?' and the husband con sented.
 On Christmas morning registered express package was delivered at ths little western parsonage to Mrs. B- She opened it wonderingly and foune little flat box.

GUILTY OF ASSAULT.

Conductor Erick Fined for Ejecting Ped
dler Gordon from the Train.
Conductor W. Erick; of the M, r..
& Z. road, was found guilty of assault
and battery by jury in Justice Sla-
ter's court Tuesday afternoon and was
fined fifteen dollars and costs, amount
ing to about $40. A check for this
amount was put in the hands of the
justice pending an appeal to the cir
cult court. This was the first case in
Kenosha in which the NJ, r. & K.
railroad was interested, and it resulted
from Hebrew peddler, named James
Gordon, being thrown from the train
because he refused to pay extra for a
bundle. The attorney for the conduc-
tor attempted to prove that Gordon
had been elected for disorderly con-
duct, but the evidence was not strong
enough to sustain that fact. Motor
man Rahan, who was tried for the
same charge, was found not guilty and
discharged.

A FAST AND scRAPPY GAME
Racine Scores Only in One Inning and
~ra and Then After Two Men Are
Out-Kenosha Boys Do Good
Work Show Str Myth.

The Racine base ball twirlers were
again turned down by the Kenosha
team Tuesday night at Simmons hall.
The gameswas very interesting from
start to finish and for several innings
the Racine boys looked like hard
puzzle for the Athletics, and at the
end of the fifth inning they led the
home team by one run.
The Racine boys presented much
stronger team than they brought to
the city on former occasions, being
greatly strengthened by Clemens at
right short and Watkins behind the
bat. Pitcher mcclellan returned to
the box and his return was received
with a howl of delight by the rooters.
He signaliZed his return to the dia-
mond by neutrality-suspicious. game and
holding the Racine team down to five
hits, two of which were scratches and
fully accounted for by errors of the
Kenosha team. Mckenzie, a former
member of the Chicago Edgars, made
his first appearance with the Athletics,
and promises to be a strong addition
to the local team. He is very strong
at the bat and plays sure fielding
game, which gives confidence to his
position. Only small crowd was in
attendance when the game started
with the Kenosha boys at the bat.
Eaton got asbase on balls and the next
two men took kindly to the Racine
pitcher andI filled up the bases. No
score resulted, however, as the next
two men went out and Eaton was
caught at the Eplate. Racine failed to
score in her half, and in the second
Kenosha Wents.out in one, two, three
order. Racine scored two in the Sec
ond inning. Clemens, the first man to
bat, hit the ball for two bases, but was
caught stealing third. However, with
one man gone, tWo} Racine players
crossed the home plate before the
third man was out. This ended the
scoring for the Racine team. In the
fourth Kenosha added one to her
score, which heretofore had resembled
very much the little white marble.
Harkin got hit and stole second and
came home on a good hit from John
Harkin's bat. In the sixth the Keno
sha boys took the game we'll in hand
by adding three more to their score on
a base on balls and three hits by Har-
kin, Cantwell and Mckenzie. In the
seventh they added another and the
scoring was ended. The Kenosha boys
succeeded in getting men on bases
several times, but the phenomenal
work of Watkins behind the bat saved
the Racine team from an utter rout.
His work was the feature of the game,
and his one handed catches brought
forth great applause from the rooters.
The line up of the two teams was as

KENOSHA TAKES ANOTHER FALL
OUT OF THE RACINE TEAM.
The Advocate and news., 1898-10-12
strIke at Paris Exposltlon.

Paris, October THE strike of the la
borers here has extended to nearly all
the building trades, and 1t is feared the
railroad men will join in the movement.
Work on the exposition buildings and
underground railroad has completely
ceased. About $4,000 have gone out on
strike, and the situation is causing con-
sternation. The attitude Of the strikers
is increasingly aggressive, and fights be-
tween strikers and s0-called "black-legs"
are incessant, involving the Intervention
OF the police, troops and mounted Re-
publican guards, who have been obliged
repeatedly to charge the strikers. The
quarters In which rioting has taken place
are patrOied by strong detachments of
police and troops.
There is great apprehension lest the
agitators turn the strike movement to
political ends.
The Temps declares that the leaders
Of the men are aiming at a general strike,
IL not at revolution, and points out
what a dreadful thing 1t would be II the
exposition of 1900 is compromised.
