Well Known Kenosha Mi'liner Expired { t
her Home In Chicago Thursday.
Miss Isabella w. Ke1i, of the firm of
Misses Piggott & Kerr Millinery Co.,
died at her home in Chicago at 9 O'Clock
Thursday morning, after short ILL

was forced to give up her work in Ke-

health, and since that time she had
been at her home. She had been in
the employ of Mr.. Fisher for the past
two years, and in that time she had
made a large number of friends in the
city to whom the announcement of her
death will come as sad surprise.
Only few weeks ago Miss Kerr re-
turned home from trip through Eu-

for the winter in Kenosha. The fun
eral will be held from the late resi-
dence Of the deceased in Chicago on
Sunday afternoon and the remains will
be inferred at lakewood.

After enjoying the instruction of some
of the best teachers in this country he
went abroad and after several months
spent In Munich in the study of German,
was admitted to the Royal Conservatory
at Leipsic, from which institution he re-
ceived diploma In 1885.
In the fall of 1855 Mr.. Stats accepted

taught successfully for six years. He
resigned that position TO accept a more

which became known as one of the most
thorough and progressive schools in New
York.
This is the testimonial which Mr.. Stats
brought from Europe:
Mr.. Henry T. Stats was accepted as
a pupil of the Royal Conservatory Oc-
tober 8, 1888. He has pursued the study
of piano playing (solo and ensemble), and
the theory and history Of music with
great zeal and industry, and, aided by
his previous recognized attainments,
made most excellent progress. In his
playing of the difficult piano compost
lions, Mr.. Stats has evinced very sat
isfactory technical faculty, combined
with thorough musical conception and
style of performance. In the theory of
music he has acquired a knowledge well
worthy of recognition.

DISTINGUISHED PARTY
AT THE COUNTRY CLUB.

The visit of Congressman Charles w.
was necessarily so short that no formal
receptions could be arranged in their
honor and they had little opportunity of
seeing anything of social life in Birming-
ham.
The entire day was spent in visiting the
industrial plants with the exception of a
short time at the Country Club, where
the party was entertained at an elegant
luncheon. The entire club house was
thrown open and the balconies were very
cool and inviting. The occasion was in
formal but Brilliant one.
Mayor Bremen and other members of
the reception committee were the hosts
of the occasion, and the guests included ::

no opportunity to do other than keep the
subject Before the public. The commit
tee upon legislation, with acknowledge
ments to Mrs, Macfadyen and Mr.. Muir
ply, chairman of the central committee,
beg leave to report the following facts:
There are about 1900 children working in
the mills of Alabama.
There are at least 10000 children under
IA years of age working in the textile
mills of the South. Nowhere else In the
world are children allowed to work in
the factory. not even In Russia with her
recently freed serfs.
The hours of labor are rarely less than
twelve out of the twentyfour, with a
half hour for lunch at noon. Many of the
children are worked upon the night force
and often cold water has to be dashed
into their faces to keep them awake.
The wage of the child varies from to
% cents per day.
There are many reasons why children
should not be worked in cotton mills.
First. 1t Is hurtful to them physically.
The noise of the machinery injuries their
hearing and skaters their nerves. The
long hours. in a standing position, pro-
duces diseases that impair the health of
the girls before they reach maturity.
The monotony of their tasks warps
their minds and dwarfs their bodies.
Their vision also becomes impaired.
The linty atm osphere, and the change
from hot rooms to the cold air after work
is over is injurious to their lungs and
they are victims of consumption at an
early age or are peculiarly susceptible
to pneumonia or tuberculosis in some
form. A horrible form of tropsy also fire.
quently occurs among them.
Many accidents transpire and their fin
gers and hands are manPled with the
machinery.
They cannot enjoy the privilege of the
sunshine without which no living thing
can thrive.
Second, their education is neglected. The
sight of the negro sending his child into
the school room and the white man send
ing his into the cotton mill is calculated
to make those who have a thought for
the future consider the facts.
The child labor bill would have been
passed by the last legislature had II not
been for the lobby agents of the manu-
facturers.
These gentlemen are skillful In their
arguments and deceive the uninformed
as to the bad conditions existing with
pictures of the model mills where cond-
tions are not so bad.
me timid patriot will also be alarmed
by their threats to go elsewhere with
their capital. Inc natural advantages are
too great in Alabama for that threat to be
executed. and even II 1t were a real dan
ger shall be buy prosperity with the
blood of little children?
Therefore in consideration of the dan
ger to the child labor bill which Is pos
sible through the manufacturers lobby
we recommend that the child labor bill
be made an issue in the campaign of the
candidates for the state senate and tne
legislature and that candidates who are
successful should be pledged to support
the child LABOR bill.
The cry should be child life VS.. dlvi-
dends. Respectfully,
Marie Bankhead owen. Chairman

LITTLE HENRY TARRANT.

Deep sympathy has been expressed for
Mr.. and Mrs. Hale V. Tarrant in the
loss of their only child, little George
Henry Tarrant, whose death occurred on
Wednesday. He was a bright and beau
tiful child, and in June would have cele-
brated his second birthday, the occasion
to have brought many of his little friends
together.
The plans for his second anniversary
were for very joyous occasion, when
the little fellow was taken i'll the latter
part of April. He was a picture of happy
babyhood and his death brought sorrow
to all those who knew him. His body was
inferred by the side of his little brother

place of both were marked by countless
roses and carnations.
