THE SOCIAL WORLD.
KNIGHTS OF MACCABEES GIVE
THEIR ANNUAL BALL.
THE LEXINGTON CLUB DANCE
Jolly Crowd of Maskers Make Merry at
Congress Hal1-First Night of Young
Ladies' Bazaar Draws Large
Crowd of Purchasers.

King Carnival reigned supreme in
all parts of the city Thursday night
and until early morning both north
and south sides:reverberated with the
sound of dance music accompanied
with the jolly clatter of flying feet.
At Central Music Hall the Knights of
Maccabees gave their second annual
grand ball and it Was one o. the social
events of the season. The dances OF
the Maccabees are always jolly occa-
sions and resemble great family re-
unions more than dancing parties
The party at Central Music Hall was
the jollest ever given by the order and
the hall was respondent with its deco
rations of evergreens and flags.
Dancing was the feature of the
evening and Stemm Brothers orchestra
furnished beautiful music to inspire the
flying feet of the Knights and their
lady friends. Waltz and two step fol-
lowed in rapid Tsuccession and the
happy dancers encored nearly every
dance. The dance was managed by a
committee consisting of Claude Dibble,
Marvin Bacon and Henry Tyson, and
the guests, of whom thereewere large
number, were srOyally entertained by
them.
At IL O'clock the guests retired to
the beautifully decorated dining room,
where bountiful supper was served by
the ladies of the order. Those who
served were Mesdames Fred Wright,
Robert Rose and Claude Dibble.
The presence of numbe of young
people from Racine made the evening
more pleasant.
jolly Masquerade.
While the Maccabees were making
merry at Central Music Hall, happy
crowd of fantastic beings were enjoying
Jolly masquerade at Congress Hall,
which was givenlunder the auspices of
the Lexington club.
The hall was crowded during the en-
tire evening and everybody had a fine
time. There was a large number of
maskers present and some of the cos
tunes were grotesque and entirely
original. Among. the best makeups
were band of cOl0red sWells, band
of genuine farmers and SPLENDID
representation. of Rip Van Wrinkle.
Besides these there were countless
number of ballot girls and fairies
The grand march, which occurred
at IL o'clock, was led by Mr..
and Mrs. Michael Steinbach and over
fifty couples took part. After the
march five cash prizes were awarded.
Stemm's orchestra furnished excellent
music during the evening and dancing
continued until early morning.
The members of theEclub who assist
ed in entertaining were Michael Stein
bach, Nicholas Kohlman, Will Olmsted
Frank Blau, James Malloy, John Piehl,
John LentZ, Will Lentz, Chas. Boyer,
John Wilder and Chris Weier, Jr.

ing the evening. The bazaar will con,

Cooner's Defeat.

CONTRARY to all precedent and all
reason the Hon. Ell. A. Cooper has been
deprived of the Craftsmanship of the
River and Harbor committee. This
position, of right, belonged to MI. Coop
or. His position as second member OF
the committee, his seniority of nom
bership, his long service in Congress-,
his ability, all urge his absolute right to
the position, of which eastern capital
has deprived him. The conduct
of Speaker Reed in referring the
task of choosing the chairman to
members of the committee plainly
shows that Mr.. Reed was we'll aware of
to whom the honor was due. Owing to
little hostility which it is said Mr..
Reed has entertained for Mr.. Cooper
for some time the Speaker did not wish
to appoint the Wisconsin Congressman
and knew that did, he appoint anyone
he could not consistently avoid Mr..
Cooper. Undoubtedly this was, in part
at least, responsible for our represen-
tative's defeat. Had Mr.. Reed done
what was naturally expected of him he
would have assumed the responsibility
of naming the chairman and his choice
must have rested on Mr.. Cooper. But
when the matter was submitted to the
committee itself another element than
precedent or merit entered into the
case. Before representative Cooper
left for Washington he fully understood
that large moneyed interests in the east
were looking for the Craftsmanship OF
the Rivers and Harbors committee, but
trustful to the priority of his claims
and the fair mindedness of Mr. Reed
felt quite confident of success. Mr..
Reeds strange reversal of proceedings
changed the face of matters. The
eastern capital asserted itself with the
result that Mr.. Cooper was defeated.
In fact, as soon as it became known
that the committee was to elect It's own
chairman Mr.. Cooper saw the course
events were taking and reading in
them the hopelessness of his cause
wisely withdrew, but not without
protest.
What will be the result of Mr. Cooper's
defeat with regard to our harbor it is
difficult to say. No doubt Mr. Cooper
will not be able to do as much for us
under the circumstances as he could
have done as chairman of the commit
tee, but our knowledge of Mr.. Cooper's
former efforts leads US to believe that
he will do his utmost in our behalf and
secure for the Kenosha harbor an
appropriation sufficient to carry out it's
needs.

THE WOMAN'S CLUB.
MRS. c.. S. x. ROWE READS AN IN
TERESTING PAPER.
AMERICAN WOMEN A THEME.
The Question as to Whether or Not They
Are Extravagant Furnishes an Inter-
esting Topic For the Ladies'
Consideration.

Mrs. c.. S K. Rowe was the essayist
at the meeting of the Woman's Club
Wednesday afternoon. The subject
was I" Are American Women Extrav-
agant?" Mrs. Rowe's point of view was
that they are extravagant, and her
ESSAY was full of interesting instances
in which our women are free in the use
of money, not however freer than the
men of this country, but free in COM
parison with the women of other and
older countries.
american women y. she said, are
unwilling to begin where their mothers
and grandmothers began. They are
brought up in expensive habits, and
they are extravagant in the gratifi-
cation of every whim of their children
Parents sacrifice themselves, and go
without necessities to buy lrxuries tor
their children who are in reality rulers
of the family.
ave lead an intensified life, one of
great labor, of great profit, of large
expenditures, and for its concomittent
we have wear and tear that greatly
diminishes in one direction the good
gained in another. Imitation is the
ruin of many family. For this our
free institutions are responsible, as the
absence of class distinction makes it so
much easier for person to rise from a
class in which he is born. Hence there
arises an extravaganza that matches i'll
with the conditions amid which we are
placed.
every thing that we have comes
more easily than it does in other couE-
tries, and easy come easy go. We
spend great deal of money in travel
which we carry to excess, and this
makes us restless.
"There is hope, however, for the
future. Extravaganza is a disease
from which we shall recover, and as
the country grows older and money
comes less easily we shall adapt our
selves to circumstances and learn
habits of economy. We see this even
now in the older parts of our country
The New Englanders are world-famouf
for their habits of economy that they
have inherited from their ancestors
the Southerners have learned those
habits from necessity.
"Our average standard of living Is
higher than that in other countries
and there is larger margin In this
country between the cost of living and
the rate of wages than anywhere else
exists. II, therefore, we were econom-
ical we should get ahead much more
quickly than we do"
After the essay discussion, led by
Mrs. O. S. Newell. followed. In this
many took part, as the subject is one
on which every woman has an opinion
Tea was served during the afternoon.

course, and will be read Dec. Il, sub

Hawaiian Government,

THE report of the Hawaiian COM
mission, consisting of Senators Cullom
and Morgan, Representative Hill, Pres
ident Dole and Judge Frear of Hawaii.
presented to Congress by President
Mckinley no doubt represents the best
mode of Government obtainable for
those Islands. The gentlemen com
posing the committee are qualified to
dictate or suggest the policy best CAL
culated to promote the interests of both
the islands and the United States itself
The report provides for the erection
of the islands into a territory of the
United States. 1t contains provisions
for the government of the territory,
giving it executive legislative and
judicial officers. In most respects
their government will be similar to that
of the territories of the United States.
The officers of the territory under the
new regime are an attorney general,
with similar powers and duties as now
possessed by the attorney general of
the Republic of Hawaii, with a few
exceptions; a treasurer with similar
The Telegraph-courier. [volume] (Kenosha, Wis.) 1888-1946, 1898-12-15

power and duties as the present min
lister of finance and such powers and
duties regarding licenses, corporations,
companies. partnerships, etc.. as now
possessed by the minister of the inter-
ior, with some changes; also superin-
tendent of public works, a superintend-
ent of public instruction; an auditor and
deputy auditor; surveyor with powers
of surveyor general, and chief sheriff
to succeed to the duties of marshal OF
the republic, all to be appointed by the
governor.
AS regards citizenship the bill pro-
vides that call white persons, includ-
ing Portuguese and persons of African
descent, and all persons descending
from the Hawaiian race, on either the
paternal or maternal side, who were
citizens of the republic of Hawaii i'm
mediately prior to the transfer OF the
sovereignty thereof to the United
States are hereby declared to be citi-
ztns of the United States"
Provision is made for legislature to
consist of two houses, the senate to
consist of fifteen members, as at pres
ent. and a house of representatives.,
consisting of thirty members, double
the membership of the house under the
Hawaiian republic. The members are
to be elected at a general election to be
held on the Tuesday after the first
Monday in November, 1899, and bie2nl-
ally thereafter. The supreme court is
to be the sole judge of the legality OF
the election to a seat in either house IN
case of contest. Certain qualifications
of age, residence and property are put
upon all voters for senators and repre-
sentatives.
The bill also provides for the election
of a delegate to the house of represent
atives in congress by the voters quail
fed to vote for representatives in the
legislature, this delegate to have the
same powers and privileges now
accorded to other delegates in congress.

TWO Pointed Questions Answered.

What is the use of making a better
article than your competitor il you can
not get better price for it,
Ans.-As there is no difference in the
price the public will buy only the bet
ter, so that while our profits may be
smaller on single sale, they will be
much greater in the aggregate.
How can yousget the public to know
your make is the best?
If both articles are brought promi-
nently before the public, both are GER
tain to be tried, and the public will
very quicklysspass judgment on them
and use only the better one.
