The Milwaukee correspondent of
The Chicago Inter Ocean speaks as
follows of several ball tossers we'll
known in this city: 1.-The Milwaukee
club has not farmed out Catcher
Kleinow, who has been the backstop
Watertown for two seasons, to the ST..
Joes of the Western league, though it
expected to make the deal, but has
given Pitcher Joss to the TOledos,
who have also secured Third Baseman
Bert Schills, another player on the
claim list of the Brewers. Pitcher
Chech was offered a contract and is
not at liberty to sign where he pleases.
He is a student at the University of
Wisconsin, and will not don the
spangles again until June, and Mack
expects him to join the Brewers again
next summer"
"A recent number of the Metro
politan magazine contained an article
on Victor Herbert, the musician and
composer. Among other things it said
''Mr. Herbert's career as composer
of comic opera dates only from six
written a number of operas, notably
The Serenade' and The Fortune
Teller, each of which achieved sep
arate success. The Fortune Teller,
which was produced last season for
the purpose Of creating part for Miss
Alice Nielsen, not only covered the
young star with glory, but by its
charming melodies, it's happy orches-
tration and the spirit and dash of the
work as whole, brought Mr. Herbert
to the front rank of comic opera COM
posers." Selections from these two
operas will be played by the orchestra
at the concert of the Amateur Musical
club on Thursday, April 10.
The lecture by Ernest Ingersoll,
of New York. on 1.-The Birds About
Us, to be given at the high school on
Thursday evening, promises to be one
of the most valuable lectures ever de-
llvered here from the standpoints both
of instruction and of entertainment.
This lecture was delivered March u
at Erie, Pa. The Erie Dispatch, com
menting on it, says: 'In point of fact
a whole season of study was COM
pressed within the limits of an hour
and quarter, and it was presented
with a grace and familiarity that
charmed, the language always in the
simplest terms, so that he was COM
pretended by old and young alike. In
an easy conversationals style he blended
accurate description with the poetry
his subject invited, and the whole
was magnifcently illustrated by eighty
or more exquisite pictures, many of
them colored true to nature and most
of them true to life. The audience
gave plentiful evidence Of apprecia-
ton, responding freely to the touches
of humor or sentiment which he now
and again introduced.

The father of President Buchanan,

James Buchanan's early school days

Whatever may have been the precise
nature of Russias conspiracy, and what
ever may be its limitations, nothing is
clearer than that it is confronted by the
joint and determined resistance of Ger
many, Japan and England. Against the
naval and military forces of these pow
ers Russia cannot contend in the far
East and will not dare make the attempt
Great Britain alone could overmatch
Russia upon the water, and with the
help of Japan could quickly place upon
the continent land forces more than equal
to any contingent Russia is in position
to confront them with.
1t is not forgotten by diplomats that
Great Britain is at this moment at the
zenith of her military power. Not in
half a century has that nation been so
well prepared to meet foe at home or
abroad as she is at this moment In
short time 250,000 hardened men, fresh
from the field of South Africa, could be
transported TO the eastern coast of Asia
If it should be necessary to strike a blow
upon the Asiatic coast Great Britain
could strike hard and quickly. Japan, so
