Cold Food Cure Fad.

A new "cure" has appeared in Paris
which is said to be much in vogue,
especially among members of the
smart set. It takes the form of a spe-
cial diet, and the particular malady
at which it is aimed is overstoutness.
The idea of this diet is that every
thing, or nearly everything, must be
eaten cold; and even hot coffee, tea,
or soup is forbidden to those follow
ing the regime. The early breakfast
Of toast, cold game, or hard-boiled
eggs and ham is accompanied by cup
of cold milk. At luncheon, again,
there is nothing but cold meats and
cold buildings, with bread and cheese
or salad; while again, at night, the
meal may consist only Of mayonnaise
of fish, cold entrees, and entremets.

Miscellaneous Dinner Hour.

Berlin is probably the only city of
any size in which there is absolutely
no attempt at anything like a gener-
al dinner hour or even at uniform
business hours, says a correspondent in
the New York Post. Each circle of
professions has it's own hours Of bust
ness, which naturally regulate the
household meal arrangements. Army
and official circles have certain hours
of duty; banking and commercial
houses have their own hours: writer's,
actors, and artists theirs, and the uni
versity and the schools form another
set with other hours. If you have
wide visiting list in Berlin you may be
asked out to dinner at any time from
2 until Z.

John Johnson, Who Killed Theodore
Borkes, Will Not be Held for
Trial in the Courts.
INSANE FOR OVER TWO YEARS.
Examination of the Doctors Showed That
the Old Man had Been Insane for
Some Time.-Hts Victim Buried.

John Johnson, the old man who was
charged with the killing of Theodore
Borkes, will never answer to the
charge in the Circuit court, for Friday
afternoon the old man was adjudged
insane by Judge S1osson, and COM
mitted to the Northern Hospital at
Winnebago.
The examination was conducted by
Doctors Ki1nba11 ..and Spa1ding and
they found no doubt but that the man
was hope1ess1y insane. They found
that he had been insane for the past
two years, and that many times he
had been violent and had been kept in
restraint. He had repeatedly shown
homicida1 tendencies, and was labor
ing under de1usion that he was being
prosecuted by unknown parties. The
disease seems to have been an heridi-
tary one, as member of Johnson's
family is now confined in an asylum.
He was taken to the Northern hospi-
tai this morning by Under Sheriff Rel
mold.
The outcome of the case is a strange
8
condemned on account OF the fact that
they permitted such a man as Johnson
to remain at large. He has been a
menace to the welfare of the inmates
at the poorhouse for some time, but
nothing has ever been done to have
him declared insane and placed under
restraining influence. It appears that
nearly all the inmates of the poorhouse
were afraid of Johnson and several Of
them had been threatened with death
No mention of these facts was ever
made to the proper officials.
Borkes, the victim of Johnson, was
buried this morning. The funeral
was not pretensious one, nor one be-
fitting soldier. The services were
held from St. Georges church and the
remains were laid to rest in little lot
at St. Georges cemetery.
A few relatives followed the remains
to their last resting place.

sewed Up for the Winter.

This is a true story, and it WIS told
to the reporter by prominent worker
in one of the east side settlements. The
other day a woman living in Riving-
ton street brought her little boy to the
settlement house and expressed a de-
sire to have him enter the kindergar-
ten. The child had bright face, but
it was woefully dirty, and one Of the
settlement rules is that all pupils must
present at least clean exterior.
SO the teacher looked at the little
boy and said: why, certainly he can
come to the kindergarten, but we
want all the children to be clean. Give
him a good bath tonight and send him
to us in the morning"
''Bathr' gasped the mother. 'How
can [ battle him? I've seWed him up

STREET CAR MEN TO STRIKE.
M. r. & K. Line May be Tied Up by strike
Among the Employees of the Road.


For some time past it has been ru-
fnored in labor circles that disatisfac-
ton and discomfort existed among the
employees of the Milwaukee Electric
Railway and Light company, and it is
even claimed in some quarters that
strike is impending on the street rail-
way lines; that the employees are tired
of the sliding scale and want fiat
rate. Moreover it is asserted that in
preparing for the effort to secure fiat
rate of 20 cents an hour, more than
three-fourths of the employees have or
ganized and become members of the
union.
If union is being organized among
the employees of the Street Railway
company General Manager Beggs says
that he does not know it; moreover he
does not believe it. Further than this
he is firm in the belief that such a
movement could not possibly exist
without his knowing it. The street
rai1w has a system of its own for
inquiring into matters and keeping
informed as to what is going on, not
only among its employees, but concern
ing other persons in whom it may be
or may become interested. For a
movement such as is runlored to exist,
involving such large number of per-
sons, without an mixing of what was
going on reaching the ears of the
officers of the company, Mr.. Beggs
says is impossible.

His Long Contested Claim is Again
Killed by the State Legislature
at Madison.
COMMITTEE ASKS POsTP0NEMENT
Kenosha County Man Will Not Give Up and
demands That the State Must Fay For
the Cattle Killed by officials.

"Unc1e Sam" Houston has met with
another rebuff from the state 1egisla-
ture and it is probable that many
other years will e1apse before those
cattle killed by the state veterinarian
are paid for. True to his word the
Kenosha county man is perpetual
ing his case against the state and he
recently filed a claim for damages.
One of the kind hearted members of
the legislature from Milwaukee
touched by the appeals of Uncle Sam
consented to present the claim in the
way of measure in the assembly.
It was duly referred to the claims COM
mittee and Friday afternoon the COM
mittee held that the old man had no
claim against the state and that should
a claim be shown there were no funds
appropriated to pay such a claim.
There had been a one man lobby in
favor of the bill and Mr.. Houston had
done every thing in his power to Sc
cure it's passage. But the claim will
not be allowed to die on account Of the
adverse action of the committee and a
new bill will be prepa red at once to be
presented to the next Legislature.
The Houston case has grown to be
the most famous of the old claims be-
fore the Legislature. The facts in the
case are too we'll known to need a
repetition and the long years in which
the contest for the payment of the
claim has been waged has only in
creased the amount due the old far
mer. Year after year he has perse-
vered in bringing the matter before
the Assembly and each time he has
been turned down. At one time
Houston sought the aid of the Cover
nor of the state and a commission was
appointed to adjust the claim. Not
withstanding the alleged promises of
Governors and commissioners the re-
suit was as usual and the claim was
thrown out without allowing the As
semb1y to take a vote upon it.
Old Mr.. Houston has spent hum
dreds of dollars in his effort to collect
the claim and at present many of the
witnesses who were called to testify
before the commission are dead. The
only thing that will ever stop the
fight for the amount will be the pay
ment of the claim or the death of Mr..
Houston.
