Baseball

The team from st. Johns Military
academy. Delafeld, met the Sacred
Hearts Saturday afternoon at Wash
ington park. The soldier boys were
entirely outclassed and we're kept busy
chasing the leather while their oppon-
ents fattened up their batting averages.
At the end of seven innings the
visitors said they had had. enough and
quit, the score standing 29 to 0
against them. The game was con-
siderable of farce
On Sunday afternoon the Water
towns defeated the Janesvilles before
a small crowd at Washington park,
the score being 16 to A. Foulks for
the home team pitched a good game
and was well supported by the other
players. Atkins and Felvey formed
the GAINESVILLE battery.

Mrs. Sarah Cowen, of Watertown,
who was arrested May 9 by Sheriff
Lehner, upon complaint Of her son,
Frank Cowen, after her case was twice
adjourned, had her trial last Saturday
before Justice Kelly. District At
torney M. l.. Lueck appeared for the
state, and Mrs Cowen, who was un-
able to hire a lawyer, conducted her
own defense. She was charged with
having broken large pane of glass
in the window of her sons house on

were brought up from Watertown, but
with the exception of one or two, none
of them had witnessed the trouble.

pay fine of $40 and costs, was COM
mitted to the county Jail for 80 days.

to have been in sad condition OF
poverty. She is pleased to remain in
the jail and said that she felt like ask

A Railroad Marvel.

The Milwaukee Journal gives the
following interesting sketch of a
young man we'll known in Watertown,
and of whom his friends are Justly
proud:
1T is said that all labor can be
made a science and it is certainly true
that most work can be made an art.
This is true in larger sense OF those
things which call to the aid of the
hand the full power of the brain and
even more so of that, where the hands
can be almost done away with. Now,
for instance, where would the
thousands of people who travel from
everywhere to everywhere else 90 il
there were not able men with the
railroads to tell them where and how
to do it; to carry in their brains the
knowledge of everything that can
possibly be for the benefit of the
traveller. In every large city there
are stationed men who have made the
matter of time cards, tickets, rates,
sleeper charges and accommodations,
baggage handling, transfers, stopovers
and extensions the work of their lives
and who have reduced that knowledge
to both science and an art. OF all
of the experts in these things in this
country, where, by the way, they
abound and flourish to an extent ur-
dreamed of in other countries, there
is not one who can stand ahead of the
popular young man who presides over
he + InlI nif e
Milwaukee road This is A. P. Chap
man, Jr., popularly kno Hn among his
railroad acquaintances as Chap
Chaps friendsIare fond of making ID o
that you cannot ask him question
relating to passenger traffic that he
cannot answer Offhand.
Mr.. Chapman began railroading
by learning telegraphy at Mas
hota station; he was born near
that station; and in March, 1882, he
became night operator at Spring
Meadow, now the north gate of State
Fair park. After a year at Spring
Meadow he went to Watertown as
operator and four years later he came
to Milwaukee and went into the old
Union station ticket Office as ticket
clerk and four years later went into
the city Office in like capacity
Since his first acquaintance with the
tariffs and the ticket case Mr.. Chap
man has mastered every detail of the
business and SO great is his retenti-
tiveness, SO great his mastery of de-
tails of information, that when he
looks into the tariff or at the time
book he rarely needs to look for that
rate or that time again. In this Mr..
Chapman is probably at the head of
| the railroad world, in fact many of
the travellers who have come to his
counter after experiences at many of
the ticket Offices of the country, say
that he is not only equal to but ahead
of any ticket man in the country
Colonel Boyle appreciates this fact,
and it would take good deal to drag
Mr. Chapman out of the Miluaukee's
city office"

A nODEL STEAr1 PLANT.
Globe Milling COmpany's Powerful New
Engine-Saves 40 Per Cent in
Steam and Fuel


Engine-Saves 40 Per Cent in
Steam and Fuel
The officers of the Globe Milling
company are proud and happy this
week In the realization that their new
steam plant is in perfect running
order and that they have at length
placed their establishment on such an
economic operating basis as to be en-
abled to enter into the closest COM
petition with the other frst-class
Touring mills of the Northwest. The
new plant is the particular hobby and
source of pride of the secretary,
Henry MulbergOr, who explains it's
plan and mechanism to his friends
with undisguised qualification.
The plant consists of a tandem
compound condensing Corliss engine
OF 200 horsepower and con-
denser OF the most modern and ap-
proved style, the latter being run en-
tlrely by belt power. The high pres
sure cylinder of the engine is 12x42
inches and the low pressure cylinder
22x42 inches, the former figures in
each case representing the diameter
OF the cylinder and the latter figures
the length of the same. The engine
was built aud set up by the Twin City
Iron works, of Minneapolis, this firm
being successful in securing the con-
tract in competition with half
dozen other leading engine builders
of the Northwest. The new plant re-
places a simple Corliss engine, 22x4O,
which the Globe company had used for
twenty years and which had furnished
power for the manufacture of over
l, 800, 900 barrels of -four.
The strong point of the new plant is
its economy. Whereas the old en-
gine consumed thirty pounds of steam
per indicated horsepower every hour,
the former is guaranteed to use but
seventeen pounds, thereby saving
about 40 per cent. of steam consump-
tion and consequent saving of the
same proportion of fuel. Competition
in the milling business nowadays is so
close that manufacturers are com
PEELED to practice the strictest econ
omy In all departments, and in order
to be in line with the other leading
millers of the great hardwheat belt of
the Northwest the Globe company
was forced to put in this improved
plant. Although the outlay has been
considerable item the company feels
assured that the results in the end
will prove the wisdom of the move
ment
Tne Twin City Iron works have
placed large number of these plants
in up-todate mills and they are Civ
ing universal satisfaction. That Just
placed in the local mill is the only one
located hereabouts, the nearest other
being at Madison.

Linea1 Foot.
The board of public works received
but one bid on the proposed maca-
damizing and improving of Washing
ton street, and that was offered by
ex-Alderman Henry G.. Mayer. 1t
seems strange that no outside con-
tractors should compete, as the Job
ought to be good thing for parties
looking for such sort of work. Action
on the single bid was postponed for a
few days.
Mr.. Mayer in his proposal agrees
to use either Milwaukee or Utica
cement His bid as itemized is as
follows:
For excavation. per cubic yard, 26
cents.

place with Bedford stone, per lineal
foot, 76 cents.

curb in place, per lineal foot, 25 cents.

For each driveway. including all
material and labor back of the line of
the gutter, SIT.
According to the computations Of
City Engineer Stanchfield the ap-
proximate cost of the Improvement to
the property owners affected will be,
under this bid, 1892 per lineal foot
on either side of the street. The
total length of the street to be maca-
damized, extending from West Main
to West streets, is l, $50 feet and the
total frontage on each side and includ-

Customary Observance by the Grand
Army Post-Joseph f. Davies to be
Orator of the Day.


Tomorrow, May 80, is Memorial
day, and plans for suitable observ-
ance have been made by the O. D. Pease
post, No. "a, G. A. r., assisted by
the Woman's Relief corps. More
than usual interest centers this year
in the Grafton of the day, which is to be
delivered by Joseph E. Davies, we'll
known WatertoTn young man who
is now taking the law course at the
University of Wisconsin. Mr.. Davies
is rarely gifted in the oratorical line
and has already made his mark as
public speaker, having participated
in number of intercollegiate debates
and university events with high cred
it. His first effort of any pretentions
in his home city will therefore create
general interest.
The program OF the day includes
the decorating of the graves of all the
WatertOwn soldier-dead in the diff
ferent cemeteries by details from the
post during the forenoon. At 1880
o'clock in the afternoon a military
procession will be formed at the post
hall and the line of march taken up
to Oak Hill cemetery. where memoir
ial services will be held according to
the Grand Army ritual. At the close
of these services the procession will
march to Turner Opera house,
where Mr.. Davies will give his ad-
dress and where other exercises will
take place. After the meeting the
Woman's Relief corps will serve
luncheon to the veterans.
The post invites the general
public to take part in the observance
of the day, and also requests gall
citizens who desire to contribute
flowers for decorating the graves to
leave the same at the post hall not
later than s P NJ. this evening.

Is Your Clock on Time.

From the Chicago Inter Ocean.
Zone of the things I-have learned in the
course of my experience" said the middle
aged man, lis that people don't like to have
you ask, is your clock rightg This is q
question that We put TO a great many peo-
pie, and it is more or less annoying to most
of them. 1 have seen men resent it with a
start, though that would be something un-
usual; but, as rule, most men think well
of their clocks, and they resent the question
more or less in their heart if they don't in
word or manner.
Doesn't every man think his own watch
is a good timekeeper? He does. 1t may lie
a cheap watch that costs So or s., or 81,
but he thinks it's good one. All cheap
watches are better nowadays than they
used to be, sbut each man thinks he's got
the still remarkable exceptional watch that
really is a wonder And the clock owner
thinks the same of his clock Whether it's
in The jewelry store, the bakery or the
butchers, they all resent the question. Is
your clock right?
The question implies in some vague. il-
definite way the idea OF an assumption Of
superiority on the part of the questioner.
for does 1t not suggest inferiority, at least
on the part OF the other mans clock? and
no man likes it.. My conclusion is that no.
body should ask the question idly-not at
air. in fact. unless something really depends
upon it. But If it should be really matter
of importance for you to know. then you
may ask, and this time you'll find the ques-
ton will not be resented"
