Kenosha Marriage Ties Don't Always Bind

After withholding the decision, in
the hope that the couple would be-
come reconci1ed, Judge Chytraus, OF
Chicago, has granted a divorce to Mrs.
Mary E. Davis, on the charge of cruel
ty from Edward E. Davis, an heir to
the $1O,OOO,CO0 Davis estate in Monta-
ma, to whom she was married in Keno
sha.
Both parties to the suit were in
court, and when Mr.. Davis heard the
decision announced he fell to the floor
in faint, and was revived by specta-
tors.

AFTER ali the talk about the dar-
gerous prowess of the challenger
Shamrock and the surprising ingenuity
of her builders and designers, together
with the disparaging remarks on the
inferiority of the American boat and
the seamanship of her captain, the
defender has defeated the challenging
racer by a wide margin and shown
superior talent both in beating and
running with the wind in the first real
test of the two contestants. This only
goes to show that ali signs fail in dry
weather and some things may happen
as well as others. Experts had quite
unanimously arrived at the conclusion
from the three abortive attempts of
the first week, that the chances of the
defender were neagre. 1t seemed to
be outsai1ed by it's rival. Columbia
stock took quite a slump and Mr.. Is1in
was made the butt of some discourage
ing and disrespectfu1 criticisms. But,
never IuC1GSS, Wien the W1uQ came
around Mr.. Is1in's boat and crew and
captain proved themselves worthy of
the abundance of confidence with
which they were greeted on their first
appearance and perfectly able to de-
fend the cup against the most formid-
able competitor that has ever crossed
the Atlantic to win back the coveted
trophy.

GET A STRONG TEAM.
All Kenosha Will Meet Racine Athletics on
the Gr1diron Next Saturday.

Kenosha is to be represented on the
gridiron during the remainder of the
year with team which
will be worthy of the name. The
candidates met yesterday afternoon at
the orchard and completed the arrange
ments of the players. Tom Graves has
been selected as manager and Ben
DeDeinar will captain the team, At
the meeting Sunday seventeen men
appeared for practice and nearly all of
them have been in the game before
while not a few of them have been
connected with winning teams.
Manager Hor1ick, of the Racine Atk-
1etic association, will be in Kenosha
this evening to close a contract with
Manager Graves for a game on next
Saturday. The game will be played if
the Racine people will agree to keep
Richards out of the game. The Keno
sha men are not willing to play against
the former Wisconsin captain. The
line up of the A11-Kenosha's as ar
ranged at the meeting yesterday is as
follows:
Center, Everett; right guard, Rob
erts; left guard, Beyers; right tackle,
McGraw; left tackle, Strause; right
end, Watt1es; left end, Hidd1eson;
quarter brck, C1eary; right half back,
Petit; left half back, Graves; full
back, DeDeimar.

: SPLENDID CONCERT.
First Entertainment of the Park Avenue
Church Course Gives Satisfaction

First Entertainment of the Park Avenue
Church Course Gives Satisfaction
The Park Avenue Methodist church
opened their second course of enter
tainments at the Rhode Opera house
Monday evening, with the Bendix CON
cert company. The program was an
excellent one, every number on it
being high class. Each member of
the company was an artist, and in the
performance before the Kenosha peo-
pie last night proved themselves as
such. tt, seldom that so satisfactory
and highly pleasing a performance of
that nature is given in our city.
Mr.. Bendix was undoubtedly the
star of the evening, but nevertheless he
was forced to divide his honors quite
evenly with the rest of the company.
Mr.. Carberry has sweet tenor voice
which, with its high culture and his
good judgment in the selection of
pieces, makes him very popular with
an audience. That this was the case
last evening was evident from the fact
of his repeated encores.
Miss De Se11em has a rich contra1to
voice, under good control.
Miss Parsons is a finished pianist,
but she was woefu11y handicapped by
the inferior instrument upon which she
performed. When a pianist of Miss
Parsons ability is engaged to appear
here another time, it would be the
part of wisdom to provide her with a
fit piano.
On the whole the entertainment
was an unusually fne one. If it
will serve as a criterion to the remain
ing entertainments on the course the
season should prove successful one.

NEXT time the city of Kenosha re-
ceives a visit from the President or
any other equally distinguished party,
it would do we'll to turn to it's ''hated
rival on the south and learn a few les
sons in the matter of conducting a
public reception. The spirit, enthusi-
asm and system shown by our Wauke-
gan neighbors in preparing for the re-
Ception of President Mckinley is in
marked contrast to the action of this
city in preparation for the same event.
There the matter was taken up in a
business like manner and all arrange
ments were made by the city without
the interference of any disturbing or
disgracefu1 personal or political differ
ences or jea1ousies. The President
made no longer visit in Waukegan
than in this city. Indeed it was just
as little a matter there as here, but
Waukeganites evidently believe in do
ing even the little things well, and if
Kenosha proposes to keep up with her
aggressive neighbor she must do such
things as Waukegan did yesterday in
that same spirit. Until Kenosha gets
oyer the whole hog or none' spirit on
the part of her citizens there will
never be any satisfaction or success
attained in things of this kind which
often determine outside opinion and
will be in eminent danger of falling
far behind her rival in the matter of
courtesy and good fellowship.

offered to patrons at considerable expense.
Comfortable chairs, a cosy little theatre and
programs far and away ahead of any hitherto
presented. And still they do not come; of
course the upshot is plain if things do not
mend. The stockholders will get tired of
losing money to suit the whims of Honolulu,
and presently the Boston Lyrics will have
left US and those turning to the Orpheum for
entertainment, will find upon the door this
legend -"House closed from lack of patron
age and appreciation" But to the players.
There is really not weak turn on the bill.
The opening act, The Village School, is
quite funny; Bogg's Characterization being
very clever. Hearde's new act with Miss
Haeward assisting, is good, while the Randi
continue to keep the audience in roar.
Winton of course is excellent. Miss Drey-
fuss is unfortunately quite under the weather
this week with malaria, but her cleverness
hides the fact from the audience. Mrs. Win
ton, the wife of the clever ventrioquist, is
expected shortly.

A Peculiar Race.

A race between an elephant and camel
took place lately at Ridgewood Park, New
York. 1t was organized by New York
amusement syndicate. The starters were

den by his keeper, William Green; bicycle,
an automobile, and Australian Ben," a
no Sc. After a preliminary canter it was
arr .nged that the elephant and camel should
start together, and that the automobile should
pursue them after they had covered two laps,
the horse and the bicycle to follow at shorter
intervals. This arrangement was found ne.
cessary because, when in line, the camel was
scared by the motor-car, and the horse also
became very FESTIVE, while the elephant
threatened to squash the cyclist with one of
his fore feet. The race finished thus: Ele.

SPORTING.
.Jeffries. .Sharkey Fight.

The somewhat musty details of the Port
land papers renders it rather hard to see
exactly why the decision was given Jeffries if
he only held up his end for five out of the
twenty rounds The Frisco papers will pro.
badly show that Sharkey was gone coon in
the twenty fifth round, and that Jeffries would
have, in all likelihood, finished the fight in
the next round.
Jetl'ries lack of aggression for so many
rounds may have been simply astute general
ship, based on the knowledge of self-capacity
for punishment, his start at forcing matters
in the fifteenth and relinquishing the attack
on finding the sailor yet strong helps this
view. Not being able to finish his man right
away and marveling at his recuperation after
the knock down in the second, it is quite
likely that Jeffries played waiting game
with wisdom until the twenty-thrd. At all
events Sharkey made gallant fight, and
both he and the public will probably be dis
contented until another fight is arranged.

them to such purpose that the Boer Parlia-

the Boer police, about whom something had
been sung, waited outside the theatre with a
view to dealing with him, while police protec.

it all alive, and is here to assert himself as
the only whistng ventriloquist of the age.

The Opera Season.

"Martha,'' while admittedly grand OPERA
is not of the highest, and the actual grand
opera season commences with ell Trova,
tore"
Still "Martha gave pleasing promise Of
what will come. The performance went off
smoothly, and Miss Andrews enraptured all
of US with the 81 Last Rose of Summer"
The theme of Martha, the frivolous escapade
of lady of fashion, gives few opportunities
to the singers. Miss Leekly was excellent;
she sang we'll and acted we'll. Mr.. Parmlees
clear tenor showed to advantage. Mr.. Parm.
lee has a voice of good quality which should,
when he has acquired the finished dramatic
art of Mr.. Hallam, for instance, bring him to
the front ranks of lyric tenors.
Mr.. Kunkel has given series of excellent
character studies not only in Martha, but as
the old sea dog in Olivette the policeman
in the Pirates, and particularly, perhaps, as
the Mikado. Henderson retains his funni-
ness. In Olivette he was more than clever,
and as the Lord High Executoner, he held
up his end, which was no easy matter,
against the Katisha of Miss MacNeill. Miss
MacNeill made the most of her really first
opportunity, and gave delightful character
ization to the part OF the elderly maid of
Japan. Miss Stanton and Mr.. Hallam are,
as ever, excellent. There is a peculiarly
pathetic timbre about Miss Stanton's voice
at times that is most effective, and to the
charms of her singing she, like Mr.. Haam,
adds unusual capabilities in dramatic work.
In Olivette the song "Ill be good Papa,
will obey" was delightfully."- rendered, and in
Yum Yum the charming "Moon Song
was the singing hit of the opera. Mr.. Rogers
basso completes most satisfactorily the har-
monte round of the cast. The company, by
the way, are producing singers from the
chorus that are pleasant revelation from
acting and singing standponts. The cos
tuning is still all that was said beforehand
for it, and the chorus keeps its reputation for
thorough training. La Belle Helene, with

The Orpheum.

On the evening that visited this cosy

witness the really excellent program, but l
hear that other evenings have not been so
productive of the crowd. This is to be
lamented, though possibly explained in some
measure by the counter attractions at the
Opera House. At the same time it is much
to be regretted that the Honolulu public can
not make an effort to show their appreciation
of the efforts made by the Orpheum manage
ment. Every possible inducement has been

AYLEsWoRTHS NERVE.

We have received very nicely
typewriter letter from b. O. Ayles-
worth, president of the state
agricultural college, requesting
spnce to set forth the advant-
ages of the college, the work done,
etc. The idea is becoming more
and more prevalent that editors
don't need to eat. Everybody
with an AK to grind wants free adj
vertising, from the travelling min
strel to the president of the state
agricultural college. Aston Ellis
was an exception to this rule as he
did Legitimate advertising and paid
for it. Editors pay taxes same as
other people and we should not be
called upon TO give free space to
the college. Aylesworth has fat
job at the expense of the state and
he wants the state press to help
him hold his job by helping to
make the institution success.
Aylesworth has his nerve with him
and the newspapers of the state

Animals rhas Can Count.

1t is popular idea among boys-es-
pecially those who rob birds nests
that animals cannot count; that If you
leave one egg, for instance. the parent
birds will not miss those that have
been stolen. This is not an establish
ed fact, by any means. Anderson, a
celebrated ornithologist after many
experiments on parrots holds that they
can count up to four. Russian ply
sician, DR.. Timofieff, extended Ander
sons experiments to birds, dogs, cats,
and horses. He concludes that crows
can count up to ten, dogs to twenty
four, cats only to six. but horses carry
of the palm as calculators. In VII
lage of the government of Pokow, DR..
Timofieff studied horse belonging to
peasant, and found that the horse al
ways stopped at the end of his TWEEN
tieth furrow. II did not stop when
tired, but only after every twenty fur
rows. 1t was so exact about this that
his master reckoned the number of fur
rows that he had made by the number
of times that the horse halted. The
animal counted for the man. In an
other village Dr. Timofieff saw horse
that calculated the miles by the num-
ber of posts on the road. and the time
by the striking of the clock One day
this physician was going to Valdai.
When at the twenty-second mile one
of the horses hitched to the troika-a
three-horsed carriage-stopped sudden
ly. The driver got down from his seat,
gave some provender to the horse and
drove on. This horse had been trained
ny its master when young to get food
at every twenty-five miles. There can
be no doubt that the horse kept count
by the posts along the road He had
made mistake this time of three
miles, but 1t was not his fault Along
the road there were three other posts
besides the telegraph posts, which
looked very much like them Hence
the error of three miles. This same
horse was accustomed to get his food
in stable near which the town clock
rang at noon. DIR. Timofieff himself
saw the horse prick up his ears and
listen, but droop his head dissatisfied
when less than twelve strokes sounded.
On the contrary he manifested all
kinds of satisfaction when he heard the
.welfth stroke of the bell, neighing for
lis proyender. Ii the horse cap
cunt is 1t not also possible that othe,
nimais can count as we'll?

Severe Criticism on Brightside
Home--rleeting of State Board
of Charities and Corrections.

The state board of charities and
corrections at its quarterly meet
ing last night discussed the various
children's homes which are run by
private charity concluding there
are too many of them, and that the
organization of new ones should be
discouraged as much rs possible,
In regard to the Brightside
school for boys the report of Sec
retary Stonaker says:
Owing to the publicity made
of Brightside through the press, a
large number of the boys held
there have been restored to their
parents or have deserted the So
called school. There seems to he
nothing more for this board to do
in this paractular matter except to
continue to discourage all material
aid to the manager of the Bright
side for the sole reason that it is
unworthy of the support of private
charity. Some strong work will
be required of this board in the
future to prevent the spread of So
called homes for children, The
difficulties met with in the case of
Brightside will be found repeated
in other institutions managed on
the same loose order. The fact is
that parents all over the country
are only too willing to dispose of
their children Denver Post.
