Schoolroom Decoration.

Following out the plan that is now
being carried out to quite an extent in
the schools of Milwaukee and some OF
the eastern cities, the Kenosha schools
are about to adopt a similar plan. The
decoration of the schoolroOm is ques-
ton of the greatest Importance. 1t
cannot be accurately estimated as to
the great good done child who daily
comes in contact with the best in art
and literature. Spending, as he does
one half of his time in school and sur
rounded by one or two of the master
pieces in art or sculptor, seeing the
beautiful constantly they unconsciously
absorb some of it and thereby is in
culcated in them the love of the beau
tiful that will be an inspiration to them
all their lives.
There is to be an entertainment given
March I'd for the purpose of obtaining
money to cary out this new project.
The teachers of the public schools have
secured the cooperation of the W0man's
club. These ladies regard it as an
excellentmovement and have consented
to be interested and Jealous workers in
this cause. The teachers desire the
support of the city in general and feel
assured when they realize that they
will be to a great extent, the means of.
moulding the mind, temper and char

Madame Nathan Allen Celebrates Note
worthy Event.
One of the most noteworthy events of
the social line in Kenosha for some
time, was the family reunion of the
Allen family held today at the residence
of Madame Allen, on Chicago street.
The occasion was the eightieth birth
day, and the day was celebrated in a
royal manner by the gathering of the
entire Allen family, with the exception
of Mr.. and Mrs. Nathan Allen, who are
spending some time at Palm Beach,
Florida.
At noon the family party gathered
round the beautifully decorated table
to reunite family ties as they have
done for years. About the table were
seated Mr.. and Mrs. Charles Allen, son
Robert and daughter Gertrude, Mr..
and Mrs. Charles Arnold, ofMilwaukee,
Chester Allen, of Evanston, Miss Julia
Allen, Miss Harriet Cole, of Kenil-
worth, and Allen Cole. Besides the
members of the family there were
present Mrs. M. E. banks, of this city,
and Miss Louise Van Gorter, of Kenil-
worth.
Mrs. Allen is one of the pioneer
settlers of Kenosha and she has watched
the development of the city from it's
earliest history. She was born in
Oneida, New York, in 1919 and came
to Kenosha in l843.

the ordeal, so that it is impossible to
avoid the feeling of constant dread
which creeps over her. The danger
and suffering attendant upon being a
mother can be entirely prevented. so
that the coming of the little stranger
need not be looked forward to with fear
and trembling, as is so often the case.

A New Method of Gardening.

A Michigan grape grower has made a sci
entifc discovery. and like many other dis
coveries of the kind. it was made by acci-
dent. 1t is that grapes can be ripened by
lightning. In the Ridge district, seven
miles from St. Joseph, some vineyards
were struck by lightning, which in some in
scrutable way ripened the grapes three or
four weeks before the usual time, bringing
more than double the price of last year In
consequence.
This incident has suggested something
TO the owners OF the vineyards. They see
no reason why electricity cannot in future
be trained TO ripen grapes, if it can only
be induced TO work in the proper way
without playing pranks. And certainly
| things which appeared more difficult have
been done. The last thing which would
have occurred to the mind Of the savage.
or to the civilized man of two centuries
since, for the matter of that. would have
been the claiming of electricity-the idea
that the same force which, in the form of
lightning, wrecks buildings and destroys
human life could be trained to propeI cars,
Hight buildings, and cook dinners. Yet that
has happened Why should not electricity
ripen grapes?
There is one thing about this new idea.
however, which is worth some attention.
Whenever the forces of nature are inter-
fered with beyond certain point she is
apt to take her revenge. There is law OF
compensation which comes much nearer
abstract justice than anything which We
are accustomed to find in nature When
fruits are ripened by artificial means their
flavor is not quite that OF the little wild
fruit when il found its most favorable con-
ditions. Nobody has yet been able to i'm
prove on the wee wild strawberry so far as
quality is concerned. The hothouse rose is
no more beautiful than the wild rose at
its best; in fact. there are rose-lovers who
aver that the hybrid bosom Of the green
house is less truly pleasing TO the artistic
eye than the flower as nature intended it

The Dreyfus Trial

onstrated to his own satisfaction at the
hrst trial that Dreyfus wrote the borde-
reac, proposes to stick to that theory. not
Nlthstanding Esterhazy's confession of its
authorship, corroboTated by the undoubted
identity of its text with his welI-known
characteristic, and undcubted chirography
Fortunately for the defence. Bertillon
not only exposed his mental weakness but
succeeded in confusing and boring The
judges until Jouaust was glad to adjourn
the sitting and get rid Of him. Today If
is expected that he will be allowed 10 con
clude mis- ridiculous testimony. The evil
dence OF the expert Of the Bank of France
who has always insisted upon Dreyfus' in
nocence, added strength to the conviction
that no one but the infamous Esterhazv
could have prepared and uttered the bor-
dereau. He was good and fearless wit
ness and the session closed on a day
greatly favorable TO the prisoner.
Twenty additional witnesses have been
summoned by Jouaust, presumably for the
purpose Of prolonging the trial in the in
terests of some secret movement in prep
aration by the liars, perjurers, and forgers
OF the general staff. We are again al
lowed to indulge the hope that justice may
be done at Rennes, but only because any
other outcome appears impossible on the
face of the record. But if it be within
the power of the judges to bring about a
conviction by resort to any sort of subter-
fuge or manufactured testimony, those who
are watching the proceedings with critical
intelligence are sure that it will be done.

HAWAIIAN PROSPERITY.
A Decrease in Expenditures and an
Increase of Receipts.

The first year of the American regime
in the Hawaiian Islands was a prosperous
one as shown by the record of Government
receipts and expenditures and the account
of customs receipts for the last six months
of the last fiscal year just received by the
State Department and transmitted to the
Treasury Department. The receipts of the
Government in the islands during the
month of July last were s207.215 as against
s1S4. 79S In the same month OF last year.
The expenditures in the same month
were only si72, ,372 for current expenditures
as against S234 909 in July, 1898. There
was thus a decrease in expenditures and
an increase in receipts. The expenditures
we're. however raised to the total OF s212,-
272 on account of the loan fund. as against
total of s26l. .272 for July, 1898. The total
insular debt is now $4653, ,199 as against
S4 449. .6l7 year ago.
Richard Ives, collector general of Gus
toms for the Islands, has reported that the
customs receipts at all the ports in June
last were: From United States imports,
81. .412. .65S; from other countries, 1891 494,
This is almost 100 per cent better than the
record of June, 1898. when the correspond

England is securing Southern and Western
markets for mules to be used in the threatened
Boer campaign in South Africa. St. Louis and
New Orleans are the points at which the pur-
chasing officers now here conduct their principal
transactions, and they have made the gratifying
discovery that the mule punchers'' employed
to conduct the animals to their destination are
ready to turn in and fight the Beers as soon as
they arrive. They have no political bias, and
would as enlist on one side as the other,
the interesting feature of the case being their
military readiness and alertness to move at the
first tap OF either any drum. Webster said
that no nation with a waterfall 112 feet high
ever lost its liberties, and the same may be
said Of the nation with such heroes, even among
its humble and unregarded mule punchers
