LOSE WARDROBEs IN FIRE.
Misses Lolita Hannahs and Calixta English
Among Losers at the Fire at Madison.

"A letter was received in this city
this afternoon from Miss Lolita Han
nahs stating that the Alpha Phi Fra
ternity house in which both Miss Han
nahs and Miss Ca1ixta English are
living while attending the State uni
versity was destroyed by fire on We'd
nesGay afternoon. Miss English and
Miss Hannahs were in the house when
the fire broke out. They ran into the
lower rooms of the house to make an
effort to save the furniture belonging
to the fraternity which was highly
priced and while they were engaged in
this manner the flames spread to the
upper rooms.
The firemen made an effort to save
the clothing of the young ladies, but 1t
was all badly damaged by smoke and
flames. The young ladies state that
their loss will be com paratively light
one. Neither of the young ladies were
injured IN the fire, and they have been
we'll cared for IN Madison by resident
mem bers of the Alpha Phi fraternity.

For sunburn. bathing at night with
a cold Infusion of cucuIubers cut up in
milk IS an excellent remedy; so also is
buttermilk. The acidity of this re-
moves the sunburn, and the oil in it is
singularly good and softening to the
skin.
One ounce of freshly scraped horse
radish stepped IN the buttermilk for
two hours Is said to render it still more
effectual. Apply to the face and hands
several times day
Instead of washing the face with wa
ter after a long walk or ride, try bath
ing it with lait virginale, which is de-
lightfully refreshing, easily made and
harmless. Take one pint of rose, or
ange or elder flower water half an
ounce Of simple tincture of benzoin,
ten drops of tincture of myrrh and ten
drops of glycerin. Put the rosewater
in a bowl add drop by drop the tine
ture of benzoin, ten drops Of tinctUre
of myrrh and ten drops of glycerin,
stirring all the time. AS glycerin does
not suit all skins, it may be omitted if
not liked.
A cosmetic which renders the COM
plexion clear and free from spots is
made by mixing two drains of simple
tincture Of benzoin with one pint of
rosewater. Apply with soft towel.
When the throat and neck have be-
come brown, they can be whitened by
using every night and morning the fol-
lowing paste: One ounce of honey, one
teaspoonful Of lemon juice, six drops
of oil of bitter almonds, the whites of
two eggs and enough oatmeal to form
a paste. Spread this on a rag and
wrap round the throat.

DR.. w. F. Rnmes and Miss Mabel
GounOd HOSsefrOss United in
Marriage Thursday.
THE BAER EIDS0R NUPT!ALS,
Frederick Baer and Miss Ella Eidsor Sur
Wedding at Home of Bride Parents.

Thursday morning at II o'clock at
the residence of the brides parents,
Mr.. and Mrs. ]. J. Hossefross, APO Crate
street, Hymen's enchanting bells
jingled with all their pristine melody
and Miss Mabel Grindrod Hossefross
and DR.. William F. Rimes, standing
in front of a bank of flowers and
palms, were pronounced man and wife
by Rev. S. w. Nay1or, of Park Ave.
M. E. church.
The parlors were profuse1y decorated
with palms and flowers in honor of the
event.
The bride was richly attired in a
costume of brocaded crepe du chine
trimmed with Russian point lace. She
carried no roses but wore a single
white rose in her hair. Immediately
after the ceremony, which was origi-
nal, brief and beautiful, the small
company was served with wedding
breakfast.
DR.. Rimes is one of Kenosha's rising
young dentists. Coming here from
Chicago two years ago and building
up lucrative practice since that time,
shows him to be a man of skill and
social attainments.
Mrs. Rimes has been known to
Kenosha but a short time, having
moved here from St. Joseph, Mich,
some two years ago. Only relatives
were present at the ceremony.
DR.. and Mrs. Rimes left in the after
noon for a short wedding trip. On
their return they will be at home to
their friends at 80 Main street. No
cards were issued.

How to SIeep.

Are pillows damaging to beauty? A
woman who is noted for her grace Of
carriage sleeps on a hard, straight bed.
There is no doubt that the practice of
sleeping with the head high is not near
~ so restful or conducive to good
carriage as a f1atter pose. The head
should only be raised slightly above
the level Of the body at the utmost,
and it will be found that one is more
rested in the morning after sleeping
with the head in that position.

Woman's Club Begins the Year With a
Most Interesting Entertainment.

The Kenosha Woman's Club held
the first meeting of their eleventh
year on Wednesday afternoon at their
room in the basement of the Gilbert
M. Simmons Library. The attend
ance at the opening meeting shows
that great interest is being taken in
the club and the sessions for the year
will undoubtedly be largely attended.
The first afternoon was given over
to delightful study of visit to for
eign lands, Mrs. O. S. Newell being
the speaker. Mrs. Newell spoke of the
interests of Java and in reaching her
subject she took up a discussion of
many countries of more than ordinary
interest. In a graphic manner Mrs.
Newell described her trip from Van
Couver Island to Java. She touched
on the Philippine Islands and told of
some of the interesting spots in the
new island possessions. Later she
told of the beauties of the provinces Of
China.
Java, the garden of the East, was
described at length, the dress of the
natives and the habits and customs OF
the people receiving especial notice in
the paper. Miss Emily Lyman ap-
peared in the native costume of the
Javanese women to illustrate some of
the points in the short talk by Mrs.
Newell.
There was no discussion of the
paper but the usual social session of
the club followed. Tea was poured by
Mesdames Draper and Lyman. The
next meeting of the club will be held
on Oct. 10, at which time Miss Gill
will read paper on the topic, "Greater
Poets and Dramatists of the Seven
teeth Century,"

THE period of official mourning for
the death of President Mckinley will
continue for six months. During that
time President Roosevelt and Mrs.
Roosevelt will bear black, use mourn
ing stationery, take no part IN social
gaveties and will conduct themselves
in every way exactly a 5 if member of
their own family had iied. The effect
of this official mourning will be most
noticeable in Washing ton and the
coming winter will be entirely devoid
of the usual social entertainments.
The period Of mourning ends March
IA. 1902, and as this date falls during
Lent the official social seaso1 will
pass unnotjc4d. The first formal
function held at the White House by
the new President will probably be the
New Years reception on January 1st,

Italian Colony on Rowland Avenue.
The police are looking for an Italian
named Charles Centa, and it is alleged
that Centa was clever enough to loot
the Italian colony on Rowland avenue
and the different members of the colony
are now losers to the extent of $50.
Most of the people in the colony re-
side in boarding house kept by Mrs.
Rosie Marone and here Centa boarded.
On last Tuesday Centa made a call at
the house and few minutes after he

issued for the arrest of Centa but as
yet the officers have not been able to
find any trace of the Italian.
He is supposed to have gone to Chi
cago and the Chicago police have been
notified to make an effort to capture

A GREAT ma ority of those who are
interested in international yacht rae
iug-and that includes most of the
people Of the country-would have
been glad to see Sir Thomas Upton
win at least one race of the series.
When he'frst challenged with Sham
rock 1, his good fellowship and gentle
manly bearing, even in the bitterness
of defeat-in marked contrast to that
of the previous chal1enger-made him
extremely popular with the public and
he has lost none of this regard in the
present series. It must be some COM
pensation for his failure to win the
cup to know that he returns with the
respect and esteem of the whole
people.

ASSAULTED BY TOUGHs.
Constable Gloss Had Narrow Escape From
Serious Injury Thursday Morning.

Serious Injury Thursday Morning.
Constable Nick Gloss was the VIC
tim of an assault on Thursday morn
ing, in which two men took part, and
in which the officer narrowly escaped
serious in jury. Shortly after mid
night Wednesday evening the Consta-
bic heard a number of men rails
ing a disturbance on West Park street
and he started out to quel1 the disturb
ance. He had not gone far when two
men ran out of an alley and attacked
him. The first man struck him blow
in the face and the officer drew his
club and fe11ed the man. Later the
second man attacked Gloss and bat
tie ROYAL ensued. For the next fifteen
minutes the battle waged fast and
furious. Gloss blew his whistle for
assistance, but none of the police Off
GERS responded to the call and he was
forced to fight with the men single
handed. At last he started them off
for the Jail, but when the railway was
reached the men began to fight and
after another struggle they escaped.
The constable was not badly injured
in the skirmish. He failed to recog-
nize his assai1ants, but thinks that
they were of Polish birth. The police
have been asked to look into the mat
ter and an effort will be made to arrest
the two men

BOYS AND HENS.
Several Surprises About the Making of
 Kid Gloves.

Barefooted boys and hens form Il curious partnership in the making of a pair of fine gloves. Thousands of dozens of hens eggs are used in cur ing the hides and thousands of boys are employed to work the skins in clear water by treading on them for several hours, says the PhiIadelphia Record. When a woman buys pair of kid gloves she speaks of her pur- chase as kids. If the clerk who sold her the "kid' gloves knew the secrets of the gloVemaiing business he might surprise his fair customer by teling her that those beautiful, soft. smooth fitting kid" gloves came from the stomach and shoulders of the 3-weeks- old colt, whose neck was slit on tho plains of Russia, and whose tender hide was shipped with huge bundles of other colts hides, to France, where they were made up into "kid" gloves: or he might, with equal regard to the truth, tell her that those gloves in tho other compartment once darted from tree to tree i'll South America on the back of the ring-tailed monkey. And if he made the rounds Of the store and could distinguish one skin from another he could point. out kip gloves made from the skins of kanga- roos from Australia, lambs or sheep from Ohio or Spain or England. calves from India, muskrats from anywhere, musk oxen from China and other parts of Asia, rats, eats and Newfoundland puppies. But the Russian colt, the four=footed baby from the plains where the Cossacks live. the colt from the steppes of Siberia, where horses arc raised by the thousand, supplies the skins which furnish the bulk of the dainty coverings for my lady's hands,

1ON~'.-
 African War.
 One of the results of the war in South Africa was an outbreak of curi- ous names Luckless infants born at or aaout the time of great events are being christened after the events them selves as well as after the more promi- nent individuals concerned. Redvers Butler Thompson was used not long ago, and Dundee Glencoe and Elands laagte have all been given. At the Cape, among the many curiosities are Talana, Elanda Smith, Belmontina, Grasspana, Modderriva Brown and Penn Symons White Robinson. A Boer named Troshie, residing in the Cra- dock district in Cape Colony, had his son baptis d Immanuel Krueger Steyn Triomphus-a very unintelligent anticipation of the events that were to come. The mania appears to have taken South Wales in a very acute form. Recently Modder River Jones, John Redvers Butler Thomas, Harry White ReGyers Joseph, Harold Baden Mafeking Powell and Ezekiel Methuen Macdonald Baden-Powell Williams were the names given to the helpless infants by patriotic parents in Meath.

TO s AVE TIME.
A Reform That's Suggested for Com-
 merciml- -Cnrrespondence

merc'ui Correspondence.
 Not content with the destruction of the art of letter. writing through the invention eff the telegraph, the type writer and other time-saving devices, an 1conoclastic Camden genius makes what he calls plea for reform in commercial correspondence by elimi- hating the few courteous words, such as Dear Sir" and Yours very truly, !" which still survive in the arid waste of business letters By actual eXperi- ment,' he says in the Philadelphia Record, 'it will be found that it takes a typewriter one hour to write these formal introductions and conclusions to 800 letters. Now, the estimated total annual letter mail of the world Is 5000, ,000 pieces. Of course, this is not all commercial correspondence, nor is it all typewriter. but for the purpose of having some statistical starting point it will be assumed that 1t is. To write the Dear sirs' and Yours very trulys' for this number of pieces would take one typewriter l6,000,000 days, or allowing 300 work ing days to the year, about 6,700 years To translate this into an approXma- tion of it's money value, allowing $10 as the wage of the typewriter and eight hours as the average days work, the cost would be $3 ,350 ,00O Is it worth it? Or, to go a step further, is it worth anything? Little by little the forms of address have been con densed until such old-sehool phrases as My Dear and Respected Sir and Your humble and obedient servant are obsolete. Why not continue the good work and reform it altogether?' Why not adopt the following sensible, stlaightaway. businesslike form:
 John Smith & Co.,:
 We wish to order, etc
 .T. Brown & Co., That is what you mean. Why not say it and stop?'

The Ascent of Great 4rarat.

The Great and Little Ararat are the two peaks of the Ararat mountains in Armenia. They are situated about seven miles apart and are respectively IF ,260 and 14,320 feet above the plain. They are partially in three countries Russia, Turkey and Persia. Snow, ice and glaciers pelpetualy cover their tops and their ascent is described as being extremely difficult. Prof. Par rot reached the summit of Great Ara rat in 1929, and on September 2. 1900, member of the Russian Geographical Society, named PeOggenpohl, is report cd to have made the ascent with considerable party. The mountain is of volcanic origin. It was in eruption in 17S5 and again in 1S40. when vast quantities of sulphurous vapors were discharged from it's sides, while a violent earthquake shook the sur rounding country. The ark is sup posed to have rested oa this mountain, but. according to tradition, Mount Ju- dith. in Southern Armenia, was the place where the ark really rested
