UNIQUE AND POPULAR
Cradle Songs of the Nations at Park Ave.
Church

One of the most unique and popular
entertainments by the juveniles is the
FCrad1e Songs of the Nations - which
will be given in the Park Ave church
next Thursday and Friday evenings.
Mrs. Beache1 and Miss Heating have
drilled the fifty girls very thoroughly.
More than the national airs the
cradle songs of nation characterize
the people, and yet one cannot listen
to the sweet 1u11abies of the different
nations next Thursday and Friday
nights without feeling that the whole
world is akin. The nations to be rep
resented are the American, French,
Scotch, Swedish, Norwegian, German,
Bohemian, Russian, ] apanese, Hindoo,
Negro and Indian. Several of the
songs will be given in the native
tongue. Tickets are being sold to the
extent of the capacity of the house for
both evenings. Get one.

Municipalities and market towns
often greatly aid business in their own
boundaries by adopting liberal policy
toward their patrons. Sometimes cit
les contribute generously toward the
construction of good roads in all direc-
tons, or in sending out electric rail
ways into the surrounding villages,
knowing that the farmer is generally
drawn to that market that is reached
with the least inconvience to himself.
There are towns in Wisconsin where
sheds are provided for weary horses a |
public expense. There are cities
where women are assured a waiting
room with some comfort in it, where
they can rest an hour after the tireing
work of shopping. A liberal policy
of this kind nearly always wins. 1t is
like the new method, soon to be adopt
ed of forcing the growth of plant life.

roots of Xenosha's mercantile and

be an uncommon accretion and a mag

CITY NOTES.

The birds are everybody's friends.
They are Natures police force, ami
hi1ating or driving away myriads of
greedy insects that work destruction
to lawn and flower and fruit. AS scav-
engers they labor necessarily for the
removal of impurities that otherwise
would vitiate the air and poison the
people. They are beautiful too, dart
ing here and there in co1ors of black
and brown, blue, red and yellow; and
constitute charming orchestras for the
day, filling the air with
whistle and song. The rights of these
charming creatures must be respected,
their lives preserved, and, in the per-
Torrance of their varied duties they
must be defended. Why should not
the Honorable Mayor issue proclaim
alton making it misdemeanor to kill,
or injure in any way, or rob the nests
of the pretty and harmless feathered
tribes and songsters that make their
homes in the naples, oaks, pines and
e1ms of our green 1awn'd and finely
shaded city? Let us hear from the
Common Council in this matter.

If a reliable, well intending COM
pany desires to build an Electric Rail
way, through, and criss-cross over the
City of Kenosha, on the terms and ac-
cording to the conditions laid down by
the Council committee, it is believed
by many long headed people who think
more than they talk, that the Board of
Aldermen will not deny that seeking
Syndicate the privilege. The condi-
tons are unique, and will go down to
posterity as great attempt on the
part of the municipal fathers to safe
guard and magnify the material in
terests of developing Kenosha.

AVsTRAiIA'S PLAGUE OF RATS.
Everybody on the Island Continent
IL Engaged In Ffghtiug Pests.

There can be no question that the hubon-
ic plague has secured n foothold In sydney
and that all the other Australian ports
are in danger OF becoming infected, despite
the elaborate precautions adopted by the
various sanitary authorities. The Ameri-
can mail steamers in Sydney harhor have
been allowed to shift their quarters to one
OF the healthiest portions OF that port.
where there exists not the slightest dan
ger Of c6ntaCion.
II has been concusively asertained that
the plague was introduced by rats. either
from Hawaii. New Caledonia, or the east.
For several weeks before the plague had
secured a human victim.there had been q
great mortality among the rats in Darling
harbor. that part OF Port Jackson devoted
TO the berthing of coasting intercoionial.
American and other vessels. the wharvcs
being among the Oldest in Australia.
Scientific Investigation showed that the
mortality among the rodents was occa-
stoned by their having become plague
stricken. This led to the new South
Wales government declaring war OF ex-
termination against rats wherever met
with. and alreday several thousands have
been destroyed, the bodies being either
cremated or deposited In tho ocean. The
demand for rat traps Is enormous. although
poisoned bait. favored with aniseed. rear
Ny lures the rat TO hts doom.
With n view to lighting the plague more
efreetually. the infected portion OF sydney
has been divided into blocks. each of
of which II in turn duly quarantined
while cleansing and purifying operations
are going on. During this disaErceable
work thousands OF dead rodents have
been discovered under the floors OF
wharvas. stores aud other buildings. and
