The Tea Cup Club is Delightfully."- Enter
tanned by the Misses Bond.
Ivy Lodge was the scene Of very
pretty dinner party Tuesday evening,
when the Misses Bond entertained the
Tea Cups club in very enjoyable
manner. The table was arranged on
the spacious veranda, which was
prettily decorated with Japanese Ian
terms and plants. Dinner was served
at z o'clock, at which covers we're laid
for twelve. After dinner the guests
spent several hours discussing some
very weighty subjects. The subject OF
the action of the United States came
up and the ladies seemed to be of the
opinion that the islands should be kept
and civilized. The subject of Sunday
golf playing caused a more spirited
discussion and the opinion seemed to
be that the matter should be left en-
tirely with the individual. The ladies
report very pleasant evening.

Teachers Institute.

The annual institute for KenOsha
county convened in WiImot Monday
morning. The conductors are Prof. A.
j. Hutton, of Whitewater, and Miss F.
Corence Fox, of Milwaukee. They are
both very able instructors and the
teachers are giving close attention to
the subjects under discussion.
Prof. Hutton handles grammar,
pedagogy and percentage, while Miss
Fox has charge of reading, nature
study and primary geography.
The attendance on opening day was
excellent, over fifty teachers responded
to roll call at 1:3O and many more were
expected. All this goes to show the
depth of professional spirit of our
county educators. May the same
enthusiasm continue throughout the
week.
Supt VIM. Griffith is present with
his usual energy and desire to aid the
teachers in every possible manner. He
enforces the idea of promptness in at
tendance, showing bhat to be larger
part or the makeup or a successful
pedagogue. We are satisfied that the
common schools of KenOsha county has
at their helm a man whose heart and
soul is in his profession, and who is
daily striving to better the cause of
education.

An Italian Anti-Murder Society.

The Italian stiletto is traditionally known
a most dangerous weapon, especially in
the hands of descendant of the Caesars.
1t has cost many life, sometimes in fair
combat. but more often In stealthy assault.
1t has become a recognized symbol Of
treachery and secret assassination and
Italians of the better class and the more
educated circles are beginning after CEN
turtles of Italian knitting to chafe under the
unsayory reputation their nation has thus
acquired. Recently an organization was
formed among them under the presidency
of Queen Marguerite and the patronage Of
King Humbert with the intention of re-
ducing the number of homicides in Italy
by depriving the passionate and reckless
people of the lower orders of their too
handy weapon. One of the initial efforts Of
the association was to ascertain by statis-
teal research the extent to which life has
been sacrificed to the stiletto in Italy. The
revelations of the first accounting are
astounding and amply disclose the need Of
this propaganda. In the year 1897 no less
than $3.50 homicides by means of the knife
were placed on record. Many more may
have been committed. This in country
with population Of approximately only
100000 Is an appalling total. Capital
punishment was definitely abolished in 1880
