THE HEATING ORDINANCE.
Taxpayer Remarks on the Proposed
Schott Franchise.

Editor Daily NEWS--The article re-
Gently published in the NEWS relating
to a contemplated venture of Mr..
Schott, president of the Kenosha
Electric Light company, to heat the
town, or something similar to that,
recalls to mind the street.railway fran 4
caise Mr.. Schott asked for at the time
he was trying to secure a renewal of
his contract for city lighting about two
years ago. Mr.. Schott afterward ad
mitted he did not want the street
railway franchise, and merely asked
for it for effect, and that if he asked
for anything in sight they, the council,
would surely give him something.
Now, are we to suppose this heating
scheme is to be used as filler" if
the city operates its own electric plant
and Mr.. Schott fails to secure renew
al of the contract? Considering the
past record of such maneuvers it leaves
one at sea as to what to expect next.
1t might be we'll to be a tritle suspic-
iOus of the new warm scheme.
Did, or will Mr.. Schott deposit
goodly sum to be forfeited in case the
Schott end of the franchise fails?
Tearing up the cities countenance, &c.
would cause expense to replace should
the genial warmth of the heating plant
not be a ready seller Oh the Kenosha
market. By the way, speaking of the
deposit reminds me of the bond that
was in force protecting the city against
damage by the Electric Light Co. /
understand that bond lost it's bonds
man some time ago. Has it ever been
renewed? If not, will some one kindly
notify the tax payers why? There
must be some one who is supposed to
look after the city's interest in this
line. Are you doing it?
Hoping no one will loose sight of the
municipal feature of the next electric
lighting plant because an improbable
heating proposition is sprung on the
unsuspecting public | remain for a
little while silent

THE phenomenal increase in the
growth of public libraries in the United
States which began some thirty years
ago is subject of continual interest
among European students and states
men, who regard such libraries as an
important adjunct to the American
system of public education. The
foreign press frequently contains
articles on our libraries and upon the
way they are endowed by public
spirited citizens, who recognize that
the United States is potent element
in the higher civilization of the world
In this connection comes pleasant
news from KenOsha, Wis, to the effect
that Mr.. z. G.. Simmons has expressed
his intention of presenting that city
with a library building and of furnish

MORE HISTORICAL RELICS.
How the First Fire Department Was Or
ganized in Kenosha.


The old Train residence, now Occu-
pied by Warner Hartung, is proving a
veritable bonanza for lovers of his
torical relics of early Kenosha. The
latest of these early documents to be
found is a petition to the legislative
council for the organization of Fire
department. 1t is as follows:
To the Hon, Legislative Council of the
Territory of Wisconsin:
Your memorialists, citizens of the
village of Southport, Racine county,
would respectfully petition your hon.
orable body to pass law incorporating
the citizens of Southport, or as many as
may think proper, to associate to-
gether for the purpose of forming a
Fire society to manfully enable the
said village of Southport to protect
themselves against fire, and also re-
quest an authorization of said society
to pass such laws as may be consistent
with the laws of Wisconsin and such
as may be deemed proper for the mu
tual interest of all concerned.

Mrs. Leach, of Kenosha, Disputes Peter
Worden's Claim of Priority.
The attempt of Peter WOrden, of
No. 1908 West One Hundred and Third
street, to supplant Alexander Beaubien
in history as the first white child born
in Chicago, has prompted Mrs. Belle
Leach, of No. 500 Prairie avenue, Ke-
nosha, Wis, to declare that several
years previous to April 81, 1886, the
date that Mr.. Worden was ushered
into the wilderness on the banks of the
Chicago river, there were eight nice,
healthy, chubby listed babies born in
Fort Dearborn.
MY brother, William Stevens, now
living at Ripon, Wis.," writes Mrs.
Leach, was born at Fort Dearborn
May q, 1882, and he was not the first
white child born in Chicago. l have
heard my mother say that during the
two weeks she, with a number of 9TH
ers, were sheltered in the fort, having
been driven in from the surrounding
country by hostile Indians, seven
oGher babies were born and lived and
hourished in spite of the hardships
they had to endure My brother was
soldier through the civil war and
spent eleven months in Andersonville,
and from the hardships there endured
he has never recovered"

that all the members of General Lees
seventh army corps wear badges to dis

the United States army. TheCubans also
have a.rule that when one OF their
number has killed six Spaniards, they
are entitled to wear 3 gold medal
which of course is similar to that worn
by the seventh corps men. Gil was in
bathing one day near Havana and left
his clothes, badge and all, on the
shore. He was enjoying himself as in
the days of the OF swimmin' hole"
in Indiana, when looking up he beheld
five or six dusky Cubans. dancing and
shouting in some unknown tongue
which he finally recognized as Spanish

LACK OF PROGRESS
Marks Christianity, Saws ths Rev
William BaYard Hale.
Indianapolis Sentinel.l

Two very entertaining sermons were
delivered at St. Psul's Episcopal
church yesterday by the Rev William
Baysrd Hale, d. D., of Midilebo, o.
Mass. Mr.. Hale is young man, tall
and prepossessing. He was born in
Richmond, Ind, where his parents still
reside. He is quite prominent in
Episcopal circles and holds the degree
of D. D. from Oxford university, Eng
land, which Is considered quite an
honor. He is rector of the parish at
Middleton and built the church in
which he breaches. He Is noted for
his strong individuality aud ,ireless ef-
forts for the church. While here he is
the guest of Mr. W. J. Holiday of AL
north Meridian street.
His sermc yesterday merning was
especially striking. He spoke of the
work of the church through the cen
turies and said that in spite of all thai
has been done by the church in the
last 1900 years, its advancement attel
the close of the third century has beer
far below what it should have been
He said that at the close of the thirG
| century Christianity was known ii
India, where there were as mar
| Chris tians then as there is now; tha
it was know in Britain, Spain, Afric,
and many other countries where it ex
lists today.
Mr.. Hale did not minee words, bu
| de- eIared that the advancement of tn,
Christian religion had not been as grea
as il should have been. The remedy
he said. was TO go back to the oil,
i apostolic idea of Christ crucified and
/ simple, practical Christianity. Tn
misfortune of the Christianity of to
!. day, he said. is that there is 8 super
fatty of sects and divisions that hav
no meaning and no use.
