Thou Shalt Not Kill.

The decree has gone forth, and it is
like the law of the Modes and Persians
that alters not; that henceforth the
crowned heads of Europe and the
Presidents of Republics are to be per-
mitted to live. Emma Goldman has
published the decree which emenated
from the Anarchist convention of
Paris. Royalty is grateful for such
sublime graciousness. The brother
hood of man is coming on. Menagerie
1nongers of Tammany and Anarchy
doff the lions skins and attire them
selves with the soft pe1ts of lambs.
The child at last puts his hand on the
cockatrice's den and fears no danger.
IF such is the beauteous dawn of the
Twentieth century what will be the
glory of its closing?

Declares That the Milwaukee Com.
pany Will Not Take the Kenosha
Franchise Even With a Bonus
A NEW STORY FROM WAUKEGAN
Waukegan Papers Declare That the Road
in Kenosha is Being Built by the Chi
cago and Milwaukee Company.

John 1. Beggs of Milwaukee is very
emphatic ia his denial of any possibi1-
ity of the Milwaukee company buying
the Haynes-C1ausen franchise and
while he admits that an offer of the
franchise has been made to his COM
pany he states that the offer wilFAAever
be accepted. In speaking of the mat
ter Thursday evening he gave out the
following little interview which may
be taken as a final statement in regard
to any sale. He said:
GAS have had occasion to say several times,
we do not want the Haynes-Clausen franchise
and would not take it were it offered as a gift
with $4,000 on the side I understand it has
been on the market for some time, but repeat
we do not want it under any circumstances.
We shun it like a pestilence, and If you can
think of any stronger way of putting 1t, you
are at liberty to do So"
In the meantime the Waukegan pa
pers have come to the front with a
brand new story in regard to the road
now being built in Kenosha and they
state that the road is now being built
by the Chicago and Milwaukee COM
pany which will operate it if the road
is ever completed.
This story is denied by the officials
of that road. In speaking of the mat
ter one of them stated that at the time
the small portion of the road was built
the Haynes-Clausen company was in
danger of losing their franchise rights
on account of inactivity and on this
account the Chicago and Milwaukee
company, out of courtesy only, fur
nished Mr.. Arnold and his companions
with material to build sufficient of the
railway to comply with the demands
of the franchise.
Some time ago it was rumored that
the Chicago and Milwaukee company
were connected NTH Mr.. Arnold and
there is a strong probability of this
being a fact. The Chicago company
are anxious to complete their line tc
Milwaukee and they were at one time
| petitioning for a franchise through

Sisters of st. Mary Give a Christ
mas Tree for 200 of Kenosha's
Poor Children.
A WEALTH OF GIFTS AND GOODIES
Annual Christmas Feast for the Poor of
the City is Held at Kemper Hall
Thursday Evening.

By far the jolliest and most enjoy
able event of the yule tide in Kenosha,
was the annual feast and Christmas
entertainment for the poor of the city,
given by the Sisters of est. Mary at
Armitage Hall in the Kemper Hall
grounds Thursday evening. AS re-
suit of the work of the Sisters 200 chill
dren were made happy, and given
chance to enjoy the joys of a visit
from the patron saint of the children.
For some time the Sisters of St.
Mary have been conducting a sewing
school for the poor children of the city,
and the school had grown until the
number of pupils reached eighty. For
these scholars the Christmas tree was
planned, but they were ordered to
bring with them their brothers and
their sisters and their cousins and
their aunts in order that all the poor of
the city might be made happy for one
night at least. 1t was a queer gather
ing that assembled at the little chapel
for a Christmas servicelat z o'clock.
Many of them were old III years, but
they had attended the service for sew
era1 years and seemed to enter into the
fro1ic with as much enthusiasm as the
young children. The service at the
chapel was conducted by Rev. Mr..
Maryon, and Rev. c. L. Mallory, of St.
Matthew's church, made short ad-
dress to the people.
After the service the entire COM
pany went to Armitage hall, where a
scene of rare beauty awaited them.
Several Christmas trees had been
placed in the front of the hall, and the
entire room had been draped with the
holly aud mist1etoe of the season.
In the early part of the evening Mr..
Gill, one of the instructors at the hall,
gave a short stereopticon entertain
ment, and after this was over the dis
tribution of gifts commenced
There were gifts for every one pres
emf, from the oldest man to the young
est. There were warm dresses for the
women and the girls, and suits of
clothes for the boys. For the little
children the Sisters had provided a
wealth of toys and p1aythings.
After all had been remembered
large bag of candy was presented to
each one present. The entertainment
closed with the young ladies, who are
spending the holidays at the hall,
singing the Christmas carols.
This little family of poor, which is
carefully watched over by the Sisters
of St. Mary, is steadily gaining, and
while a few years ago it only num-
bered half a hundred, it is four times
that number now and more are being
added to the list daily.
The annual feast to the children is a
free gift of the sisters and the entire
expense is paid by their personal con-
| tributions.
