AFTER Dickens, Tennyson and Kip
ling, who have established precedent
whereby it is generally supposed by
the American that every English writ
er of note who has had to depend
largely upon the American reading
public for notoriety either at home or
abroad, must come to this country and
roast and abuse his patrons here to the
utmost of his talents, Frederick Har-
rison is very agreeable and refresh
ing change. OF course Mr.. Harrison
had some criticism to make of the
America people, but on the whole he
was very 1enient and said many hand
some things of his American cousins.
In fact, we may fatter ourselves, if
Mr.. Harrison is a good observer, and
he has that reputation, that in spite of
Mr.. Dickens, Mr.. Tennyson and the
rest, the United States is a very good
place to live in, and its people are a
very good people to live among. We
are not, according to Mr.. Harrison,
ignorant, uncouth and wholly mer-
cenery. Our political institutions are
not rotten and our politicians are no
more honor1ess than the politicians OF
other countries. Indeed, Mr.. Harrison
regards us as even less politically de-
generate than some others and not so
douo+od ~ +l,o n 1 v1,;rL+v dollar G Of h
ers that could be mentioned, although
we may be little more successful in
our financial efforts. Mr.. Harrison
finds us morally and mentally as good
if not some better than the average.
He finds us quite up up in educational
matters and sufficiently interested in
those things to make the prediction
reasonably safe that with our I'M
equa11ed energy and enterprise we will
in the not very distant future take the
lead in things educational as we'll as in
things industrial.
About the much talked of heterogen-
iety of our population, Mr.. Harrison.
takes a novel view. He accredits us
with greater homogeniety than other
nations, Notwithstanding the great
and diverse influx into this country
yearly from other nations.
4 Mr.. Harrison makes a very good case
for the United States, for an English
man, and considering what we have
been accustomed to receive from Eng
1ish sources, we cannot but feel very
grateful to the learned gentleman who
has not allowed either his prejudices
nor the national egotism to bias his
Judgment.

Miss Mary B. Mcclellan Appointed as
a Government Teacher of English
in the Philippines.
WILL BE LOCATED AT MANILA.
Kenosha Teacher Secures Much Coveted
Position in Manila and Leaves This
Month to Begin Her Duties.

Miss Mary B. Mcclellan, of this city,
ment as teacher in the schools in the
Philippines. The appointment is a
government appointment and its COM
ing to Miss Mcclellan is a great mark
of honor to the Kenosha young lady.
Only few women have been selected
to teach in the government employ
and for this reason the honor is even
greater. Miss Mcclellan is appointed
for period of two years and she will
teach English in the schools of Ma
Mia. She will sail for the scene of
her new duties on July 23rd and will
begin work early in September Miss
Mcclellan is not going alone to her
new work, as one of her friends with
whom she!has been teaching during
the last few months has also secured d
position at Manila and the two young
ladies will sail together
Miss Mcclellan has been closely
connected with the educational insti-
tutions of Kenosha and Wisconsin for
the last few years. She is a Kenosha
girl and her first education was re-
ceived in the schools of the city, from
which she graduated few years ago.
After completing her course in the
Kenosha schools she attended the
State normal at Stevens Point from
which she graduated with high honors
three years ago. She at once returned
to Kenosha and was appointed a
tea cher in tne citv schools which M
sition she held for two years. She
was reelected to her position this year
but failing health forced her to give
up the work about six months ago and
she went to Moronci, Arizona, where
she taught the remaining months of
the year.
Miss Mcclellan has always held
high place among the teachers of Ke-
nosha, and has been regarded as one
of the best teachers ever employed in
the city schools. She has made an
especial study of English, and her
preparation will undoubtedly make her
leader in the schools of the Island
possessions.
The young lady is very popular
among the School children of the city
and among her fellow teachers, and
she is receiving the heartiest congrat-
u1ations upon the much coveted APP
pointment.
II is reported that the Kenosha girl
was selected after she had competed
with class of over four hundred APP
plicants. lA ~18

NOTWITHSTANDING the decree of the
Musical Association that rag time is
"unmusica1 rot" an evangelist was
thrown into Lake Monona Sunday be-
cause he insisted on singing religious
songs when the bulk of his audience
were wanting rag time. The Musical
Association did not class the ordinary
religious evange1istic music, but it
would appear that the "brazen throat
ed throng' makes a careful distinction
between the unmusical rot called rag
time and unmusica1 rot called religious
music.

RICHARD n CROKER, of unenviable
repute, made himself Infamous not
long since by raising the price of ice
in New York City way out of the reach
of the poor in the tenement districts of
that be-Crokered metropolis. In fact the
odium of the act became too much even
for the case hardened Croker ard he
was compelled to repent and relent.
Now it seems that certain gentlemen
in the vicinity of Kenosha are dis
posed to emulate part of Croker's ex-
ample. An ice trust has been formed
whereby the price of an article ex-
trene1y desirable at this time of the
year, and particularly so when the
mercury evinces such tendency to
climb as it does just now, has been
raised to the top notch. OF course
those gentlemen who are concerned in
the said trust are not raising the ice
price in order to make more money.
Far from it. They are, no doubt, panied
by the fact that they are compelled by
the ouerous enactments of "subsid-
ized'' Legislature and a tyrannica1
Governor to force the price of their
product to such mercuria1 heights.
When the Governor put his signature
to the ice tax bill and it became law
that all ice shipped out of the State
should pay license of ten cents a ton,
you can plainly see that it at once be-
came necessary, in sheer self preserva-
ton, in order to recoup, for the ice
companies to consolidate and raise the
price of their ice sold to resident con-
sumers at least a dollar and half a
thousand pounds. If you are so dense
as not TO be able to see why SO small a
thing as a ten cent per ton tax on ice
shipped from the State should necessi
tate doubling the price of ice sold with
in the State, your case is manifest1y
hopeless. Why, it is as clear as mud
There are a thousand and one reasons
which would be very apparent to any
one in the position of the ice man
MAYBE there Is competition outS1uS "
TIE State that will prevent the abused
ice company collecting their taxes
from their outside patrons. And, be
sides, it is more than likely that the
ice company thinks it necessary K
raise funds somewhere to secure The
repeal of the law by some future Leg
islature. You see it is after all done II
your interests. So just be Cheerful
and keep cool. Do what you can t.
sustain the ice company, and wher
you can't do any more sell your ic'
box and live on lake water and saue
kraut.

SETTLES OLD ESTATE.
Judge s1osson Hears the Final Account in
Estate of George Wicks.

After having rested in the vaults of
the County court for more than a
quarter of century, the final account
of the administrator of the estate of
George Wicks, former resident of
the town of Salem, was approved IN
the County court this morning, and
Judge S1osson made a judgment allow
ing the account and assigning the
estate.
George Wicks was well known
farmer residing in the town of Salem.
He died in the early seven ties leaving
an estate valued at something like ten
thousand dollars. Shortly after the
death of Wicks the estate was settled
up, and the final account of the admin
-istrator was filed with the court in
1874 Since that time no action on the
account had been taken. Of the heirs
who survived when the account was
filed two have since died, leaving no
legal heirs, and for this reason the en-
tire estate was divided by the Judge
among the three surviving sons-
Frank b., Monroe M, and Orrin D.
Wicks, all residents of the town of
Salem.

TELLS OF DISASTER
Note Picked up on the Lake Shore Tells of
Loss of Life in Storm on April 1.

A letter was picked up in can by
tug about fifteen miles out in the
lake this afternoon which states
that H. r. Abbott and Carl E. Plum,
of Chicago, lost their lives in an open
boat off Waukegan on April 1. The
owners of the tug vouch for it's au-
thenticity. The note is scrubbed on
the back of picture of the cromo type
and reads as follows:
April i, 1901, Bad storm; open boat.
H. r. Abbott, % Carl q. Plum, Chica-
go. Off Waukegan."
The letter has been turned over to
the police and they have notified the
police of Chicago on the find. The
letter seems to be genuine and was
evidently written in great haste. So
far as the Kenosha police can ascer-
tain no men answering to these names
have been reported missing from Chi
cago or any other port along the lake.

the town of Pleasant Prairie four hum

this morning that he would not take
out a liquor license for the coming

hard accusations against them. 1t is
possible that the efforts of Mr.. Rhode
will result in one of the places being

WOULDN'T GIVE IT UP
A County Bridge That Was
Washed on His Land.
The County Commissioners Forced to Sue Out
Claim and Delivery Papers 10 Get
Back County Bridge.

The board of county commissioners
met yesterday in regular monthly ses-
sion.
The day was devoted almost entirely
to receiving tax lists from the listers
in the various townships, revising the
outside poor list, and paying bridge
and small pox claims.
Most of the tax lists were in good or
der, but some few of them were poorly
made out and will have to be revised.
One or two must be entirely done over.
AS a number of the outside poor
have died and others have become able
to work or moved out of the county,
Chairman Green deemed it to the inter,
est of the tax payers that the list be re-
Nsed, and SO all pensioners Of this kind
were required to be present or send GER
itficates of inability at this meeting.
The indications now are that this revis-
ion will save the county some money.
Smallpox claims were allowed amount
ing to over 5000. Last months these
claims aggregated $342. Fortunately
for the county treasury, the disease
at last seems to be stamped out.
The bridge claims are also, owing to
the frequent and heavy freshets, very
large. Quite an amount has been ex-
pended for rebuilding and repairing, but
all the claims are not yet In and 1t is
impossible to say just what the floods
have, in the matter of bridges, cost
the county.
A rather amusing incident that oc-
Cured in connection with the bridge
claims was contest between the COM
and man who had locked
to the trees a county bridge that had
washed upon his land and stopped. He
refused to give it up, claiming that it
thereby became his property. The
commissioners tried to reason with him,
but argument proved unavailing and SO
they took out claims and delivery pa
pers to get their bridge. After the
sheriff had served the papers the man
yielded very gracefully.
The commissioners will be in session
again today for consideration of pen
sion applications referred to them by
the pension board.
