Advice to the Lecturer.

A jovial looking man on Jersey
City to Pittsburg train drank frequent
ly and deeply from quart bottle
which he courteously offered before
each sWig to his fellow passengers
one Of whom, an ascetic looking man,
refused the bottle with scorn, and
eventually delivered lecture on tenn
perance, ending with:
'sYou take awful chances in cloud
ing your brain with alcohol When
you again come into possession of your
normal senses, you may be in the gut
ter, you may be in prison, you may
be i'll eternal punishment
After the berths had been made uI
for the night, the joyial one staggered
down the aisle, pulled aside the far
of that occupied by the lecturer, and
asked:
where yoush goin'. OF fel'r?"
'sPittsburg this severely.
''Yoush didn't tip p-p-porter."
II never do. It's a bad practice"
.'Yo' take awful chances, OF fel'r. in

Men Employed by the Big compan-
les at Twin Lakes Demand a
Large Increase IN Wages.
ICE FAMINE THREATENS CHICAGO
All Deliveries of Twin Lakes Ice Has Been
Stopped Strike May Also Affect Supply
in Kenosha and Other Cities.
(From Thursdays Daily.)

The ice handlers at Twin Lakes, in
this county, have gone on>a strike, and
as a result Of their actions Chicago,
Milwaukee and Kenosha, as well as
other cities receiving their ice from
the big store houses at the lakes are
threatened with an ice famine. The
strike, as it stands today, is serious,
but there is every reason to believe
that the strike will spread to the other
lakes in the county and result IN a big
tie-up.
The men at Twin Lakes, something
like hundred ii number, were work
ing for So day Of ten hours, and they
now demand that their wages be in
creased to $3.50 a day and that they
receive double pay for overtime and
Sunday. The Law1er company, one
Of the smallest companies on the lakes,
agreed to meet the demand Of the
strikers if the Knickerbocker COM
pany, which is commonly known as
the trust, would also concede to the
strikers. This the latter company re-
fused to do and not ton of ice is be-
|irg moved out of the Twin Lakes
HOSES. Emissaries Of the strikers
union have been sent to the other lakes
in the neighborhood with the inten-
ton Of bringing about great SYM
pathy strike among all the ice hand
1ers in this part Of the State.
For time the big companies con-
sidered the proposition Of filing their
orders from other houses, but as the
Twin Lakes houses are larger than
the others their use became necessary.
The companies handling the Twin
Lakes ice made no deliveries in Chi
cago yesterday and there is no chance
for delivery until the places of the
strikers can be filled with new men or
the company meet the demands.
The ice handlers and wagon drivers
in Chicago promise to aid the strikers
with sympathy strike if the compan-
les make an effort to secure ice from
other places to FIJI the orders.
One company in Kenosha depends
on the Knickerbocker company for its
supply, and if the shortage Of ice con-
tinues it is probable that the Chicago
company will cut off all the smaller
cities in order to secure sufficient ice
for the Chicago trade.

Big Ice Companies Ask Protection
for Men and Property in the
Strike Districts.
NON-uNION MEN ARE EMPLOYED
Companies Fear That Rioting WIN Follow
the Strike at Twin Lakes and Powers
Lake -Iniunctions Sought.
(From Saturdays Daily

The strike among the ice handlers
in the western part of the county is
assuming alarming proportions and
Friday the managers of the Jefferson
and Knickerbocker companies applied
to Constable William McKesson and
asked for protection for the men at
work and the property of the compan-
les affected by the strike. Non-union
men have been put to work and the
union men have been threatening
them. Fully two hundred men are
now out, and while the companies are
winning slight victories over the
strikers, the forces of the strikers are
increasing and their attitude toward
the non-tlnion men who have gone to
work in some of the houses is exceed
ingly threatening.
Constable McKesson has refused to
take any hand in the strike, as it is
feared that should he side with the
companies the men on strike might
do damage to his property. He has
advised the managers of the compan-
les to secure an injunction from the
Circuit Court to force the strikers to
keep away from the ice houses and
this plan will be adopted unless the
strike is settled within few days.
Not car of ice has been moved from
Twin Lakes and the men are gaining
strength. The Knickerbocker com
pany had been shipping fifty to sixty
car loads day from the station, but
the cars are idle and the ice ready for
shipment is being allowed to melt.
The Jefferson company with it's big
houses at Powers Lake has taken the
bull by the horns and four gangs of
non-union workmen have been SUBJ
stituted for the men who went out on a
strike Wednesday. As yet the union
men have not attempted to prohibit the
men in the employ of the Jefferson
company from working, but the houses
are being closely guarded to prevent
any violence on the part of the strikers.
All the managers of the companies
have absolutely refused to listen to the
demands of the strikers and it is posi-
DIE tndI tney Will allow the entire ice
business in the county to be tied up
rather than to allow the fifty cents
raise demanded by the union men.
The strike has caused terrible han
dicap on the ice business in Chicago
and the Trust wagons are practically
tied UP, as they depend largely for
their supply on the houses in this
county.
AS yet the effect of the strike has
not been felt in this city and there
seems to be an abundance of ice on
hand to fill all orders.

Certainty of Fate.

Robert Barr, the novelist, recently
told story to illustrate the Moham-
medans' belief in the absolute certain
ty of fate-a story, he says, that is a
tradition among them. A sultan was
once asked by his favorfte, the grand
vizier, for permission to leave at once
for Smyrna, although brilliant court
fete was then in progress. Upon being
asked his reason for such haste, the
vizier replied:
Because I just saw the angel Of
death yonder in the crowd. He looked
at me SO earnestly that know he has
come for me. / wish to escape
him."
go! Go at once!" said the sultan,
who then beckoned to the angel and
asked why the latter had looked so
earnestly at the vizier.
Il was wondering replied the angel
Of death, why he was here; for /
have orders to kill him in Smyrna. -

THE revolt against the pronuncia-
miento of the State Convention in re-
gard to Senator Spooner has been SO
general, even among the Governor S
stoutest adherents, and the sentiment
among all classes of people in favor of
Spooners return to the Senate
without conditions is so unmistakable,
that the opposition to him has
changed its tune and is now
working the old before the con-
vention song of "we are all for him
too'' for ali it is worth. It is doubtful
if the friends of Senator Spooner can
be caught twice by the same game,
and it is probable that the organiza.
tion of Spooner clubs will go on
throughout the State, and that legisla.
tive candidates pledged to vote for
Spooner's reelection Internationally
will continue to be nominated wher
ever possible.

THE Secretary of the National Dairy
Union appeared before the commits.
sioners of internal revenue Tuesday to
urge the imposition of the minimum
tax of 10 cents pound upon oleomar-
garine when any ingredient is used to
give it color resembling butter. The
manufacturers of o1eo have been ad-
ding palm oil to their product, which
gives it yellowish tinge and makes it
resemble butter, and are endeavoring
to evade payment of the tax on the
ground that the coloring is not 'arti-
fetal" The law was framed to pre-
vent the fraudulent sale of oleo as but
ter, and the Dairy Union is fighting
for the enforcement Of the law accord
ing to its plain intent. It makes no
particular difference to the CONSUMERS,
as far as the money is concerned,
whether they are defrauded out of their
money by buying oleo colored by palm
oil or by yellow paint.

win Have to work for a Living.

Leroy Beaulieu, declares that the
leisure class of men will have to work
for their living in 1852 He made this
interesting statement in a lecture on
the conversion of the French 81 per
cent debt into 8 per cent. bonds. He
said that the rate Of interest is con-
stantlv decreasing and predicted that
in the next twenty-five years capital
viii be glad to get 2 per cent, and that
fifty years hence such first-class secur-

IF the time has really come when
Kenosha must do something to better
The conditions surrounding the city
poor, why not consider the question of
a poor farm. The farm system Of car
ing for paupers and those wholly or in
part dependent upon a municipality
for support has worked well in other
places, and it is the opinion Of those
best acquainted with conditions IN
Kenosha that the city's dependent poor
can be cared for on farm with less
expense to the city than in any other
way. The question Of poor farm
was discussed by the aldermen some
time ago, but the first cost of farm
seemed more than the city could afford
to pay at that time and it was decided
to drop the whole matter until the city
was in a better financial condition.
The financial condition of the city is
no better now than it was when the
question Of new poorhouse first came
up, but the time seems to have come
when the city must do something.
Kenosha is not DESTROYS of having the
unenviable reputation of keeping the
worst poorhouse in the State.

Recent Visit OF Naval Officials to kenOsha
to be Followed by Another.
Admiral Taylor, head of the Naval
Commission appointed to select site
for training school on the lakes, has
given ont a notice that the recent trip
of the Commission to the different
points along the lake, is only pre-
1iminary, and The Commission is
simply making this trip for the purpose
of getting general survey of the
sites which will be offered. About the
middle Of October the Commission will
make a list of four or five sites which
seem to be the best suited for the sta
ton, and second visit will be made
at which time more minute examina-
tons will be made.
While no word has been officially
sent out by the members of the Com
mission it is stated that they were very
favorably impressed with the sites Of
fered in Kenosha and it is more than
probable that this city will be one Of
the cities considered on the second

RESCUE work among those whose
habits Of thought and life are firmly
fixed is always bound to be more or
less of a failure. Only in exceptional
cases is the work done by the hundreds
aud thousands of institutions main
tanned for the relief and rescue of the
submerged tenth" entirely success
full. In majority of cases relief
comes too late to be of any particular
practical benefit either to the unfortu-
mates whom it is intended to aid or to
the community which maintains the
institution. The most valuable charity
is that which redeems children, and
the value of the work done by an in
stitution like ST. Mary's Home can not
be estimated in dollars and cents. If
one tenth of the money that is annually
worse than wasted in indiscriminating
charity could be devoted to the care
and education of the children of the
slun1s, one Of the greatest menaces to
the perpetuity of our institutions
would be done away with in gener-
alton.
