cruiser Minneapolis arrived from Portland
to-day, and after giving a fine exhibition
in m~aneuvering by steaming round the CO.
lumbia like a naphtha launch, dropped
anchor off the navy yard. The bow plates
of the Columbia, which were stove in bv
her anchor when leaving Boston,. have been
repaired and she will leave for Portland in
the morning, while the Minneapolis will sail
west, probably for Boston.
Orders were received at the navy yard to
fit up all the heavy guns at the yard for the
coast defense of Maine, New Hampshire
and Massachusetts. There are sixty twelve
and fifteen-inch smooth-bore guns at the
yard, and men are already getting the
mounts ready.

shot and killed by a revolver in the hands
of a companion named Wilbur Jeralmon.

thinking the weapon was not loaded, when
it was discharged and the bullet entered
the mouth of De Graft and passed through
his head. De Graft was seventeen years old
and the son of DR.. Emanuel E.. De Grarff,
of New York city.

Mexicans Cautioned.

CITY OF MEXICO, May 1.-The govern
ment has cautioned all employees to observe
in act and conversation entire neutrality
regarding the American-Spanish war. The
masses of the people are undoubtedly for
Cuba, but the Liberal party papers, like
Diario del Log, are for Spain, and show an
unconcealed dislike for Americans. Their
course creates much comment and it is sus-
pected that Spanish influence is actuating
their policy, so distinct from the Liberal
party leaders. The clerical papers are nat
urally hostile to the United States, but the
attitude of the Liberal papers is a surprise.

Mrs. George w. Peckham, president

the gathering. In her remarks she
pictured the cruel destruction of bird
life in a very pathetic manner and
clearly showed that combined effort
must be made to stop the reckless
slaughter of the innocent birds. She
dwelt upon the economic value of the
birds as check upon insects and as
devourers of harmful seeds. She de-
clared that as scavengers they were
worth millions of dollars a year to
the agricultural interests of the cOun-
try. The destruction of the birds by
men for sport and science was as moth
ng compared to the awful destruction

Last Wednesday afternoon at the
Congregational parsonage the mar
riage of Marion w. Pease, of Horton
vile, and Miss Jennie Winkenwerder,
of the town Of Watertown, was quietly
observed, Rev. George G. Weiss offici-
ating. A sister of the bride, Miss
Nellie Winkenwerder, and James
Lewellin, of Pipersville, attended the
bridal pair, and the ceremony was
witnessed by few of the immediate
relatives Mr.. and Mrs. Pease left on
an afternoon train for short wedding
journey and intend taking up their
residence at HOrtonville, where Mr..
Pease is engaged in the manufacture
of cheese. The bride is daughter of
our long time residents, Mr.. and Mrs
Fred Winlenwerder, and is generally
esteemed and admired in the commun-
ity for her excellent qualities. The
groom, we understand, is held in the
highest regard by his acquaintance.

Saturdays meetings were held at
Turner Opera house. At the morning
session two subjects of general inter
est to teachers were discussed: 'tShall
History, Arithmetic, Geography and
Other Third Grade Branches Be Con-
tinued as Regular Branches of High
School Courses, or Shall They Be
Relegated to the Lower Grades?n and
''How May Elementary Arithmetic Be
Taught to Secure the Results Aimed
At?" Touching on the former topic,
papers were read by Principal G. w.
Smith, Supt. David Throne, of Rock
county; President L. d. Harvey, of
Milwaukee Normal school, and DR.. j.
w. Stearns, of the state university.
Prof. w. w. Speer, of Chicago, read

was followed by a general discussion,

The final session of the convention
began at 1:30 Saturday afternoon,
business matters being first attended

in the choice of Prof. H. n. Parker,

superintendent Emery was present
Saturday and spoke at both sessions.
The attendance on Saturday was not
quite as large as on the first day, and
ere the convention had concluded it's
deliberations most of the teachers had
departed for their homes by afternoon
trains. Old members report that the
association never enjoyed i better
convention, and much of the success
of the gathering must be credited to
the ireleSs efforts of the local COM
mitvee, headed by Supt. Viebahn and
A. j. Whiting. The committee wishes
to thank all of our citizens who in any
manner assisted in makinge the con-
ventiOn what it was. The cordial hos

carried on to supply the demand for
millinery purposes. In this respect
the men showed more reason and
pity than women. The magnitude of
this destruction may be learned from
the fact that annually 100000, 900
birds are destroyed for millinery
purposes. Mrs. Peckham also argued
that the school children should be
taught to consider bird slaughter as
something inhuman and terrible, for
then in after years there would be
feeling prevalent against such prac-
tices that would be of incalculable
benefit to the birds and to the country
at large.

THE LIBRARY SUBJECT.
An Interesting Address by Miss Stearns
Sunday Evening.

Miss l.. E. Stearns, of the Wisconsin
Free Library commission, occupied
the pulpit of the Congregational
church Sunday evening, with an ad
dress on The Child and His Books" :"
Miss Stearns related in a very graphic
way what other towns were doing
through their public libraries for the
education of their boys and girls She
showed how nearly all the libraries
are started in a humble way with a
few hundred books, which by the help
of the city or some Of its wealthy
people soon grew into permanence be-
cause Of the good done through them.
an interest and to help in the work Of
getting this movement started, because
a library always raises up friends for
itself, provided the interest in it is
general enough. Watertown is one
Of two Wisconsin cities of 5000 people
or over that is without a public Ii
brary, and it can succeed here only
as our people are united in working
for it. In various ways the speaker
related incidents of the good done
here and there by the Peoples Uni
versity'-the public library. The
Milwaukee library started in very
humble way and has grown to it's
present proportions, because the citi
zens realize the great good that it is
constantly exerting. In closing her
remarks Miss Stearns urged the citi-
zens of Watertown to supplement
their splendid educational system of
public schools, high school and colleges
by a representative public library.
She rendered the services and aid of
the Free Library commission to our
city, promising to help in every way
possible toward securing this much
needed improvement. rProf, Viebahn,
in few appropriate remarks, intro
duced Miss Stearns to the audience.
The address will certainly help in
the agitation of this question and it is
hoped something will be done in this
direction soon. Indeed it is already
certain that meeting will shortly be
called to talk over the situation and
consider means to arouse further in
terest. By all means let us take hold
and encourage this movement. There
is no reason why something may not
now be done towards the establish
ment of free library.
