a delicate electrical apparatus for &C

The apparatus upon the shore or

coil and a small handwheel, reversible

GIRLS AWAY FROM HOME {
I lived for ONE time ina boarding
house for girls exclusively, where a,
hundred made their homes, engaged in
Offices, stores,' schools of music and
public schools and medical and dental
colleges. As most of those girls spent
their evenings in the. house, frequent
opportunities were afforded for observ-l
ing the effect produced by sympathetic
songs, the talk of home, or perhaps the
recital of an accident which occasion
ally befe.l some unfortunate little
newsboy. Such incidents, while tri-
ding in themselves, served to remove
the outer shield and sterner mien with
which many true girls must Of need
envelop themselves while making their
way in the world.
Those girls appreciated and sympa-
thized with the little newsboy's efforts
in getting his pennies together each
day. They also loved the songs of
home, the sentiment seeming to reach
and affect the hearts Of those who,
through the force Of circumstances,
were separated from home and its sur
roundings. An agreement was entered
into by the girls in that house that,
when on crowded cars, they would sur
render to age, irrespective of sex, seats
they might be occupying, and when not
very tired, or If they had been sitting
a greater part Of the day at their work,
then the seat should be surrendered to
laborers with tin pals going home
after a long day of hard labor.

Thomas Murphy. HaiIing From Keno
sha, Held on a Charge of Bur-
gIary at Muskegon, Mich.
THE SHERIFF ExONORATES HIM.
Efforts will Be Made to Have the Young
Man Re1eased,-He Was in Kenosha
When Crime Was Committed

Thomas Murphy, young man hail
ing from this city and claiming to be-
long to a good family, is in jail in
Muskegon, Mich, awaiting trial on a
CHARGE of committing burglary there
on June 10th. It is claimed by friends
of the young man in this city that he
is entirely innocent of the charge and
that he was in Kenosha a the time the
robbery, of which he is now charged,
was committed.
Murphy was a knight of the road
and his family had nearly lost trace of
him. In June he came back to Keno
sha, but a short time later he took to
the road again and joined with a num-
Der of his tramp friends enroute to
evening of June 9th and on the same
evening the base ball park was entered
by hobos and large amount of prop
erty belonging to the club was taken.
Sheriff Whitcher and Officer O'Hare
made round up of the hobos the next
morning and Murphy was among the
three who were arrested and held for
the crime. He was taken to the coun-
ty jail and held for a part of the day.
Since it is certain that he did not leave
Kehosha Until late in the evening it
would have been impossible for Muir
ply to reach Muskegon in time to COM
nit the crime of which he is charged.
Murphy has written pathetic letter
to Sheriff Whitcher telling of his ar
rest and the sheriff is certain that the
boy is innocent of the crime of which
he is charged. Immediate efforts will
be made to have Murphy released on
call and when the case comes up for
trial the evidence of Sheriff Whitcher
should be sufficient to secure the &C
quitta1 of the young man.
Efforts were made this afternoon to
locate members of Murphy's family,
but none of them could be found and it
is probable that they have removed
from Kenosha to some other city.
Murphy, however, has several friends
in the city and these friends will make
an effort to see that the man gets JUS
tice.

Big Eastern Syndicate Secures Con.
troll of the Chicago Brass
Works in This City.
THE PLANS REMAIN UNCHANGED
Large Plant Will Be Doubled in Capacity
and the Trust Will Make It Lead
ing Factory in the Combine.

The Coe Brass company, if kilograms
from Torrington, Conn, are to be be-
lieved, failed to remain as owners of
the Chicago Brass Works for any ex-
tended length of time, as the kilograms
today announce that the American
Brass company have purchased all the
stock in the Chicago company and are
planning to add it to the long list of
factories controlled by the syndicate.
With the transfer Of the property to
the American association there will be
no change in the plans announced
when the property was taken over by
the Coe company. The mill in Keno
sha is situated for the western outlet
of the trust, and it is planned to make
the engagements, noted in the News
some time ago, at once.
While the managers of the company
in this city insist that the Kenosha
plant will not be trust plant it is evil
dent that it will be completely in the
power of the big syndicate. AS yet
no papers of any kind have been
placed on record but it is said that the
deal simply consists of the eastern
company buying up all the stock of
the plant and making a small payment
for the buildings and the machinery,
a transfer Of which will be recorded
within a few days,
Many people, Learning that the plant
feared that it would be closed up and
the great business which has been
done in Kenosha would be sent to some
other brass works. This report is en-
phatica11y denied but it is thought pos
sib1e that mill of the trust now in
operation at Detroit may be closed and
the business sent to Kenosha for
transaction. For some time the Ke-
nosha plant has been the outlet Of the
Coe company and as this company was
leading member. Of the American
Brass Makers Association it is thought
that they were largely Influential in
securing the sale to the syndicate.
The Coe company has been in charge
of the plant for over a week and the
entire plant has been invoiced in order
to complete the sale. It is probable
that the transfer will send the plant
directly to the Associa ton and the Coe
company will not be mentioned in the
papers filed.
The Associated Press gives out the
following telegram in regard to sale:
Winstead, Conn.,, July 30-A. A.
Cow1es, of New York, E. L. Frisbie, of
Waterbury, and James A. Doughty, of
Torrington, who, together with Charles
F. Brookes and ]. P. Elton, comprise
the executive committee of the Ameri-
can Brass company, have acquired the
entire capital stock of the Chicago
Brass works, whose plant is situated at
Kenosha, Wis. Mr.. Doughty says
that it has not been decided what will
be done with the Kenosha plant, but
in all probability the business will be
continued there.

ATHLETICS 9; UNIONS 3.
The Local Base Ball Team Gives Pine Elk
hibition of the Game.

There was ball game at Grand View
park Sunday. It was one of the most
spectacular games of the season, and
was witnessed by very good crowd,
Notwithstanding the fact that there
were clouds in the sky threatening a
decided break in the long dry spell.
The special train running to the park
over calculated the number that would
be falling over themselves to get to the
park, but nevertheless it was pretty
we'll filled and all hose who went were
we'll repaid for their venture by the
article of ball delivered by the Athlet-
les. From the side of the local team
the game was a fine exhibition. The
work was good all around and the far
famed and redoubtab1e Chicago
Unions, who on the 4th defeated the
Athletics by a score Of 4 to 0, and not
long since made the first break into
the clean record of the Appleton state
league team by shutting them out,were
given a drubbing that was highly sat
isfactory to the local fans. The col
ored team plays gilt edge ball but they
were up against a perfect game Sum
day and had to take the little end of
it. At the end Of the game the score
stood 9 to in favor of the Athletics.

Strike in Milwaukee District is De-
cIared Off and Time for WOrkmen
is Heightened.
ALL MEN ARE AT WORK TODAY.
Wells & Messier Return to Longer Seized.
ule and Raise the Wages of Their
Men.-Strike Declared Of,

The final chapter in the history of
the machinists' strike in Southern
Wisconsin was written last Saturday
evening when Agent Holmes, who is
in charge of this district, formally ad-
mitted that the strike was a failure
and the men were instructed to return
to work as soon as possible at the old
wages. Nearly all Of them returned to
work this morning but in some places
the manufacturers refused to take the
men back and these men are out of
work for good and all.
With this formal acknowledge
of the ending of the strike without a
victory for the union the Wells &
Messier company are starting today to
work ten hours daily. The nine hour
agreement was declared off by the
men Sunday and every man went to
work this morning on the old
schedule of ten hours and ten hours
pay. The company favored the men a
little and slight raise in the sa-ary of
some of the men was made.
The nine hour experiment proved
SuCCSSS1ul III the SnOp IN AenOSnd ana
the managers of the plant report that
the men working nine hours did as
much work as those who worked ten
hours. If the general scale could be
secured there is little doubt but that
the Wells & Messier company would
be among the first to adopt tt.
The strikers will not return to the
work at the Chicago Brass works as
the managers of the new company
have absolutely refused to have any
thing to do with them. Only few
men will be affected by this decision,
as the company employed less than a
dozen machinists.
While the victory is largely With the
manufacturers the machinists in Ke-
nosha welcomed the settlement of the
strike, as when the men were called
out hardly any one of them had any
grievance and they are pleased to get
to return to work and earn an honest
living again.

Would Form a Cooperative Ice Com
pany to Defeat Vaccinations OF
the Ice Trust in Kenosha.
TRUST BOOSTS THE PRICE OF ICE
The Pocket Books of Saloon Keepers ArR
Hard Hit and will Seek Redress-To,
Compete For Trade.

The saloon keepers of Kenosha are
preparing to wrest1e with the ice ques-
tiOn in an entirely new manner, and
several informal meetings have been
held by the saloon men with the view
of forming a cooperative ice company
to take the business into their own
hands, and in this manner defeat the
Vaccinations of the ice trust.
The saloon men are the largest Gus
toners in Kenosha, and while-the COM
parative1y low rate of S3.5 ton has
been made for the benefit of the liquor
dealers, the price is nearly double the
amount paid last year and the saloon
men declare that the service is vastly
inferior. Even with this rate the sa-
looms are charged extra for all chopped
ice until the ice man is largely taking
the profits of the business. Most of
the saloon keepers and brewery agents,
have consented to go into the proposed
company and there is little doubt but
that it will be organized before the
close of the present year. Nothing
can be done for this season and all
will be forced to wear the CALLING yoke
"a IA@S IL LSG1 Jul ~ kAAS OP~AIhLG > IN
next year the Cooperative company
will be seen upon the streets and it is
claimed that they will supply ice to the
members of the company at the low
rate of 81 a ton. The city at large viii
also benefit by the formation Of the
company, as the company will also
seek general business. Agents. OF
the proposed company have visited the
lake regions and have managed to. Sc
cure rights OIL number Of the inland
lakes not yet gobb1ed by the trust.
It has been suggested that the COM
pany be organized at once and that an.
effort be made to have the Jefferson
Ice company, of Chicago, take up the,
business during the present season.
This plan may be adopted, but no at
engagements have as yet been made
with the antitrust company.

FIRST OF TEE SEASON.
Next Sundays Attraction at the Rhode
opera House.

Chas. A. Tay1or's grand scenic pro-
duction, daughter of the Diamond
King" will be the attraction at Rhode
opera house next Sunday evening.
The characters and places have been
taken from parts of New York city
and New Hampshire, with an excep-
tlonally strong cast, headed by the
charming La Belle Laurette, supported
by Mr.. w. A. Whitecar, an actor of
considerable fame, faithful concep-
ton of the authors idea is given. The
charming love scene between La Belle
Laurette, as Nellie Golden, and w. A.
Whitecar, as Dwight Perkins, preced-
ing their marriage, in the first act OF
the play, is one of the prettiest pieces
of acting that it has ever been a per-
sons good fortune to look upon. The
plot of the play is a simple one, pretti-
1y told, and with scenery from Frank
E. Dodge, of the Herald Square Thea
ter, New York city, and staged by c..
c. Craig, of the Broadway Theater,
New York city, under the personal SUI
pervision of Chas. A. Taylor, the au-
thor and manager, it seems safe to say
that local theater goers have treat in
store for them.
