ARLOWRESIGNS
Well Known Latin Teacher Sends His
Resignation to the Board Of
Education Today.
GOES TO NATION, ILLINOIS
Where He will be Principal of the high
school-one of Kenoshas
Best Teachers.

Prot. viii NARROW, teacher of Latin
in the city schools and one of Keno
sha's best known teachers. sent his
resignation to the Board of Education
this morning to take effect at the close
OF the present school year. In LAYING
aside the work in Kenosha Mr.. NARROW
will leave for Nation, ILL.,, where he
has been elected to the more lucrative
position as Principal of the High
school in that place.
Mr.. Marlow's resignation was wholly
unexpected and came as a great sur
prise to the members of the Board
The young man has been connected
with the kenOsha schools for the past
four years and has had charge of the
Latin department. Under his guild,
ance the department has been advanced
until at the present time it is regarded
as one Of the best departments in the
State. Mr.. NARROW has also had
charge of the History department in
the schools, but recently gave this
branch up to give all time to Latin and
Greek. AS a teacher of history Mr..
Marlowe has few equals and the Board
has desired to put him in charge of
this department. In leaving Kenosha
and Wisconsin Mr. NARROW will leave
many friends behind. During his four
years in Kenosha he has taken an inn
portant place in the councils of the
teachers in the State and2county and
has been an influential member of the
State Teachers Association Among
the Latin teachers of the State he is
ranked high and severabtfn1es the at
tention of the educated world has been
called to Kenosha and her schools on
account of articles which have an
peared from time to time from the pen
of Mr.. NARROW in educational journals.
His friends in this city while regret
ting to lose his valuable work in the
schools will wish him even greater
success in his new field of labor.
To Inspect the Ducts.
The committee on building and
grounds of the school board held a
meeting last evening to take up the
plumbing at the Gi11ett school. Both
the contracting p1umbe and Architect
Dickhaut were present to present the

and it was finally decided that the
members of the committee should make
a personal supervision of the ducts on
Thursday afternoon and make a final
report to the board on next Tuesday
evening.

Good Company.

It is not a small matter to be well
associated. Speaking of the TELE-
GRAPH-CoURIER, Kenosha's old
est newspaper, reminds us that during
its career it has been associated in time,
and by a11usion, with the leading Am
erican Statesmen and authors of the
Nineteenth century. John Quincy
Adams, the traveller, the scholar, the
diplomat looked in upon the period that
witnessed the birth of the Courier.
The eloquent voice of Daniel Webster
was heard during the earlier years OF
the Telegraph. The thirteen years
speakership of Henry Clay were all
given while the OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES
was in it's formative state. The dis
appointed John c. Calhoun died in 1880
when that paper was youth of seven
teen. Charles Sumner and VIM. H.
Seward also did most of their 1ife-work
while the Te1egraph-Courier was NOV
ING toward it's fortieth anniversary.
And, as for authors LOngfel1ow and
Whittier, Washington Irving and
James Fennimore Cooper, Nathania1
Hawthorn and Ra1f Waldo Emerson,
William Cullen Bryant and Henry
D. Thoreau, the author of the
craven" and the authoress of Uncle
Toms Cabin, George Bancroft the
historian, and William Lloyd Garrison
and Horace Greeley thought, and wrote
and spoke, since Kenosha's weekly

ROYAL LEAGUE DANCE.
Pleasant Party Given by Fraternal Society
at Simmons Hall Tuesday Evening

Simmons Hall has seldom been
more pretti1y decorated than it was
last night when about 120 couples a
vailed themselves of the opportunity
to dance to the splendid music of
Compton's Orchestra, at the party
given by the members of the Royal
League of Kenosha. The co1ors of the
Royal League, red, white and blue,
were very prominent, the stage being
decorated with streamers and palms,
and flags and Japanese lanterns hung
in profusion all over the hall.
A carload of members came down
from Racine and did their share in
assisting to make the evening thor
ough1y enjoyable one.
A very tasty lunch was served in
the balcony by Mrs. Loescher at II
O'Clock, after which dancing was re-
sumed, only to be interrupted by the
hands of the clock pointing to the
hour of two A. M.
The Racine delegation were not slow
to express the sentiment that 'they
never had SO much fun in their lives,
and in voicing that sentiment they
expressed the opinion of every one
who had the good fortune to be
present. 1t is the general wish that
parties of this nature may be given
more often by the members Of the
Royal League.

Dear Mr.. Lyman-Your letter re-

to say that general regret will be felt
at my inability to appear and deliver
an address at the dedication exercises.
I can hardly feel that my presence

as you are provided with speakers
much better able to instruct and enter
tain the people. But wish to assure
you that my personal regret at being
absent on that most interesting occa-
sion can hardly be expressed.

of his latest and greatest benefaction.

receive dividends of gratitude upon his
generous investment.
When the shadows Of evening gather
about him and the active cares of bust
ness have been laid aside, he will have
resources denied the average man. He
will not be confined to Renaissance,
but may confidently turn toward the
future. His mind will be refreshed by
the visions of future generations as
they gather about this seat of learning.
He may hear the blessings that will
swell into a grand chorus at the men

The Orange Free staters.

The war in South Africa is commonly
regarded as a Transvaa1 war. Kruger
and his South African Republic are the
prominent figures III the conflict.
Steyn and the Free StatersN are men
toned only incidentally. Yetithe Or
ange Free State has suffered most.
The national independence of the State
has been swept away, the country over
run by contending armies, the farms
of that land will be taxed to maintain
a war not their own, many of the brav-
est and best of the Orange Republic
have been manned for life or buried in
unknown graves. Perhaps the Free
Staters were impe1led to join hands
with Kruger and his Councillors solely
by a noble desire to aid their Dutch
brethren in the Transvaa1, who have
done but little by way Of reciprocation.
The civilized worlds in sympathy with
those unse1fish but misguided people.
To advise them persist in the UNEQUAL
struggle would be to stimulate the ex-
tinction of the race as we'll as the ami
hi1ation of their fond form of govern
ment. The experience of the last eight
months has taught the wisdom of sur
render to the inevitable. They begin
to ground arms and cast themselves
on the c1emency of their opponents.
Nor are they menaced with such peril
on the south as on the north. They
have lived in peace with their southern
neighbors for half a century, without
grievance or complaint; but in league
with their northern brethren they were
frozen out in about half a year. The
Transvaa1 promises only a weak pro-
lection, but Cape Colony strong de-
fence. AS a colony of the crown of
Great Britain, property will be as
valuable, farms as productive, cities as
progressive, schools as prosperous,
churches as free, and the home life as
sweet as under the flag of President
Stey1l or the scepter of Kruger. The
Free Staters do not lack courage be-
cause submitting TO the rule of Roberts,
because anxious to end a quarre1 which
they did not create, and out of which
can come nothing but disaster for
them. twill be well for Africa if the
Transvaa1ers, after resisting to the
point of inevitable destiny, shall be as
wise as their southern neighbors. We
venture the prediction, not for any
greater love we may cherish for the
Briton than the Boer, but from the
logic of events, that the war in South
Africa will speedily terminate triumph
ant1y for the English and magnanim-
onsly for Free Staters and South Afri-
Gan Republican.

FORESTERS. CELEBRATE.
Heiss Court No. 15s of the C. O. F. Celebra-
ties its Tenth Anniversary.

One of the most enjoyable events
ever given at Columbia hall was the
reception and dance given Monday
evening by Heis Court No. 159, c. O. F.
in honor of the celebration. of the
tenth anniversary of the Founding of
the FOresters in Kenosha.
The annual anniversary celebration
is always one of the big social events
of the year, and the party last evening
was certainly 40 exception to the rule.
The hall was respondent in its deco
rations of palms, flags and flowers.
The stage on which the musicians and
speakers were seated was one great
bank of palms and flowers, while the
walls were hung with bunting and the
enblems of the order Fully four
hundred people accepted the invitation
and assisted in the celebration of the
anniversary.
During the early. hours of the even
ing the Foresters and their friends
held an informal reception, while the
E1sen orchestra, hidden away among
the palms on the stage, gave a concert

pleasant family reunion, and it seemed
that the meeting of TIE Foresters was
simply gathering of one great fam
lily around-a common hearthstore.
After the informal reception was
over the meeting was called to order,
and short speeches were made by
Chief Ranger N. ]. Werner, Chaplain
Father G. E1sltamp, Rev. Hi1debrand,
Rev. Malone, DR.. F. e. Lansdowne
and William kaufman. After the
good things of the order had been
carefully tod by the speakers, the
guests were invited to the long tables
stretching across the entire hall, and
some good things for the inner man
were presented. The banquet was
prepared and served by the wives,
daughters and sweethearts of the
Foresters, and it was certainly a din
ner worthy of the name. The guests
fingered over the ia b1es for an hour or
more, after which the hall was cleared
and the celebration of the anniversary
ended with pleasant dancing party.
About twenty-five of the members of
the C. O. F. of Racine attended the re-
ception.
