ROYAL LEAGUE BNTBBTAINs.
jolly Entertainment and Dancing Party
at Simmons Hall,

In response to invitations ISSUED by
the members of the Royal League in
Kenosha, some two hundred and fifty
persons gathered at Simmons hail
last, evening to listen to literary
treat.
The program was headed by that
king of entertainers, Prof. Carnes,
whose readings and dro11 stories we're
thoroughly enjoyed by all. His story
of the two Irish lads who we're INSOFAR
able friends until one of them died on
shipboard, and was Buried at Sea-
took his audience from tears to pro-
1onged laughter in the same breath.
He also entreated those who were not
members Of the Royal League in Ke-
nosha to join at once, in order that the
local council might compare favorably
with the membership Of the Royal
League in Racine.
Mrs. Compton sang beautifully, and
was heartily encored, and MI. Tits
worth easily sustained his enviable
reputation with the people of Kenosha
by his well selected songs.
Mr.. Knapp, OF the Illinois ADVISORY
Council, was present and made short
address, For the Good of the Order.
He stated that he would make his re-
marks ''short and sweet, like himself +,
which caught the popular fancy and
produced much merriment.
Little Miss Sharpe sang two Of the
late popular songs and completely won
the hearts of the large audience, many
claiming that she twas the very best
thing on the program"
Prof. Jacoby rendered two very fine
violin solos and the entertainment
wound up with another reading by
Prof. Carnes.
After the program light refreshments
were served to ali and then 'every
body had a good time" tripping the
light fantastic 10 the musical strains
of Compton & Jacoby's orchestra and
it was after 2 O'Clock this morning
when the lights went out.

Rosie viii visits Her husband.

A great deal of interest has been
taken by the people of the city in the
action which would be taken by Rosie
Weisung Witt, the wife of the se1f-con-
fessed murderer. This morning short
ly after 10 O'Clock, armed with per-
nit from Justice Slater, Rosie appeared
at the jail to seesher erstwhile lord and
master. The two met in the Office Of
the jail and the meeting was most
cordial. Extending her hand with
smile, Rosie said FHeT1o', and then the
two at once began an animated con-
versation Neither Witt nor the woman
seemed to be at all concerned with the
enormity of the crime and they spent
the half hour chatting over homely
subjects AS the interview was con-
c1uded by the sheriff the wife vowed
her fidelity 10 her husband and said
she would raise money for his defense.
With another smile and handshake
the woman left and Witt was taken
back to his cell.
Notwithstanding the confession of
the murderer there are some Italians
of the city who are inclined to take
other views of the case. They claim
that the murder of Bruno by Witt was
not unexpected and that the death of
the fallen hero was expected for some
time.
From statements made last night it
is evident that the dead man was not
popular among his fellow count1y1nen,
but it is just as evident that he held
great power over them and they had
decided that this power should end if it
required the death of Bruno. It is re-
ported among the friends of Bruno
that three attempts upon his life had
been made during the past year. All
of these had proved unsuccessful.
Bruno had been repeatedly warned Of
his danger, but he seemed to think that
he bore a charmed life and laughed to
scorn the threats of his enemies. He
had few friends among his countrymen
but his more than usual intelligence
made him natural leader among
them. He was always opposed, but
he was singu1ar1y successful in carry
ING his point and every victory only
added to his power. The officers say
that he was a trouble maker and, on
the other hand, some Of the Italians
say chat he was an advisor. But
Tony's advice came high and in the
past few months he had been earning
a livelihood by stirring up fights
among the Italians for the sole purpose
Of advising them as to how they should
get out of the trouble. Many com
p1aints have been made of the way in
which the dead man secured money for

Charles Viii, the slayer of Tony
Bruro, the Italian, is behind the bars
in a cell at the county jail Last even
ing, shortly after FIVE O'Clock, after
nearly a day of liberty, the murderer
appeared at the office Of Justice John
G. Slater and asked to be taken into
custody as the slayer of Tony Bruno.
He was at once escorted to the county
Jail and locked up. The police, who
were securing the town for the man,
we're appraised Of the arrest few min
utes later. Under positive orders Wit
has refused to see anyone at the county
jail, but it is said that he made COM
p1ete confession of his crime last even
ing to Justice Slater before he was
taken to the jail. In speaking of the
crime it is said that he stated that the
fession also shows that Bruno was
largely responsible for the murder.
Viii states that the two men were dis
cussing plan to get Rosso, the lover
of the wife of Wit, out of the way, and
the dead man had decided that VIII
was to kill Rosso during the evening.
Just before the murder the two men

satiOn Bruno demanded that VIII kill
his rival at once. Witt refused and the
two discussing the matter, walked to
the spot where the murder occurred
later in the evening. After Bruno had
the trouble with Berg, according to
the story of Viii, he again made the
demand that VIII 60 and shoot R0ssO,
and added that if he didn't he would
kill him himself, At this point the
two men came to blows, and Witt al
1eges that Bruno attempted to strike
him with a pair of steel knucl1les. At
this point Witt drew his revolver and
fired FIVE shots at Bruno. AS soon as

the North side. In the morning he
heard the story of the murder and at
once decided to give himself up to the
authorities. He came down town and
went to the residence of Tony Barte11o
at the long home and after a short con
versation the two men went to the
office of Justice Slater and from there
to the jail. VIII takes the matter phil
osophica11y and spent the evening in
jail in a very contented manner. He
slept well and ate hearty breakfast
this morning. The story of Wit seems
to be confirmed by the circumstance
surrounding the murder. At the time
of finding the body Officer zeivers also
found pair of steel knuck1es lying
near the body and the post-mortem eK-
animation of the remains of Bruno
yesterday afternoon showed that four
bullets had taken effect in the body of
the dead Italian.

This hrs given rise to crop of ru-
mors that Ladysmith's ammunition Is
exhausted, that Sir George Stewart
White Is mortally wounded, that both
facts are being concealed, and that
other unlucky happenings have taken
place For all of these reports there
is absolutely no foundation At the
same time the Britisher has had little
to stimulate him within the last "a
hours except the news OF the con-
fdent attitude of the Ladysmith gar
rison and Its slight successes last
Thursday and Friday.
Advices from other parts Of South
Africa are distinctly unpalatahls, and
everything points TO q critical situation
in Natal and the northern portions Of
Cape Colony, likely to grow more
acute until General White Is either re-
lieved or deci5iyely detected. Nobody

by the members of the Tom Moore
Club and the Emmett Literary Asso-
citation of this city, the following
resolutions denouncing British ag-
erosion in the Transvaal and the
proposed alliance of America with
England, were proposed, seconded
and unanimously adopted:
THAT we offer our heartfelt SYM
pathy to President Kruger and de-
sire to express our earnest hope that
he and his brave followers may be
successful in their heroic and patri-
otto determination to preserve in
tact from British spoliation the in
dependence Of their Republic.
"That we vigorously denounce
England for the INSCRIPTIONS and
iniquitous policy which she has pur-
sued toward the Beers and we char
acterize her as a nation destitute of
national honor, whose ignoble mis-
sion is the destruction of weak ma
tons, Unsuitable rapacity and pre-
medltated murder.
"That as the stability of the fun
damental principles OF our institu-
tons is threatened by an alliance
or closer union with England, our
hereditary enemy, every citizen who
is Interested in the perpetuation Of
American constitutions should be
animated witha determination to
do all in his power in order to
thwart the Vaccinations of those in
this country who are scheming in
cessantly to advance England's
interest.
THAT our Secretary be author

olutions to the local press and tc
the Irish World, New York, with
a request to have them published. y
