Sufficient Number Of the Members of
the Board Finally Turn Out and
Make a Quorum.
MISS REED GETS LONG LEAVE.
Teacher of English in the High School
Forced to Retire on Account of Ill
Health-vacancy on the Board.

The Board of Education met In
special session at the City Hall last
night and sufficient number of the
members managed to get around to
have quorum present. For the benefit
of the people who attend the board
meetings "Roll of Honor has been
established and the names of the
members present at the meeting will
be emblazoned on the great book of
the minutes in the future.
The members present at the meeting
of the board last night we're Com
missioners eraser, Sullivan, THEIRS,
Howard, Larsen, Tarbell. To1f, Saftig,
Gardio1a, Harrington and Superin-
tendent Baker.
Quite a little business had been piled
up since the board met in their last
session and the meeting proved to be
an interesting one.
Miss Gertrude Reed, who for the past
two years has been a teacher of En-
glish in the High school, sent a com
munication to the board stating that
Ill health would force her to give up
her work in Kenosha for the present
and she asked that leave of absence
for the remainder Of the year be
granted to her. The board granted the
leave of absence the teachers COM
mittee being authorized to selected a
teacher to fill the vacancy. Miss Reed
has been ope of the most efficient
teachers in the city schools and her
absence is to be regretted.
Miss Ada Tarbel1, who is in charge
of the Eighth grade work in the Gem
trail school, was given an increase of
$50 year in salary. This provision
was made on account of the large
number Of pupils now under the care
of Miss Tarbel1.
The old dispute as to the quality of
coal being delivered to different
schools by the coal contractors came
up again and the board directed that
500 of the amount due the contractor
be held up pending a further investi-
cation into the coal. It is claimed that
the coal is not of the contract quality.
The petition Of the High school
boys for gymnasium was laid on the
table as it was found impossible to
provide for such an accommodation
without the expenditure of large sums
of money, and the treasury of the
board would not warrant the. outlay.
Two new books are to be introduced
into the school with the opening of the
new term-a Commercial Geogra ply
and an Expression Reader. These
books have not been adopted as yet but
The text book committee will make
some recommendation at the next
meeting of the board.
There is now vacancy on the board
as the resignation of Commissioner
Will Marx leaves but one represen-
tative from the Fourth ward. Super
intendent Baker was instructed to
notify the City Council that such a
vacancy exists but it is hardly probable
that a successor to the retiring com
missioner will be selected as he would
serve for less than four months.
The usual number of bills were
allowed after which the board adj
journed.

SCHOOL FOR ITALIANS.
Herman Martin a KenOsha Boy Starts q
New Educational Institution.

Herman Martin Kenosha Boy Starts q
New Educational Institution.
Kenosha has a new educational
institution that is decidedly novel in
its way. It is located on Park street
near the Italian colony and is under
the supervision of Herman Martin the
seventeen year old son of Herman
Martin the we'll known manufactures
of pop. The school occupies "a small
store building in the neighborhood
and all its students are Italians who
are unable to speak the English
language. The young teacher while
born and raised in America has been
thrown with Italians a great deal
and IN this manner he has picked up
their language. Many of the Italian
boys in the colony could not attend the
public schools and these are sent to
the school run by Mr.. Martin. For
the small fee of one dollar per month
the Italian children are taught the use
of the English language. Already the
school is becoming very popular and
thirty students have been registered.
This little school in the middle of
the Italian colony is destined to Fill a
long felt want.

NOBODY in this country, at least,
seems to have very clear idea as to
just what claims the English and Ger
man governments have against Vene-
zaela. The London Mail gives the
principal item in the claims against
Venezuela as per cent government
loan of $10,000,O0O made in 1896, on
which interest is four years in arrears.
Two-thirds of this loan is held by Ger
mans and the remainder by English
men and Frenchmen. There is also a
railway built by German capital at a
cost of SIS, O0O, 900 on which Venezuela
guaranteed the interest. This guaran-
tee has not been made good. There
are also several railroads built with
British capital on the sarne terms that
have received no interest and in addi-
ton have not even received pay for
carrying Venezuelan troops and sup
plies at half-price as agreed on. On
this account alone the British bill is
about $1,000, 600. There are also claims
in the nature of damages.
AS there is some reason to believe
that President Castro has large por-
ton of the loan of 1896 stored safely
away in the Bank OF France concert
ed effort to make him disgorge is not
without its pleasing features. But if
Great Britain and Germany depend on
the customs receipts to make good their
claims their administration of the GUS
toms house is likely to last for several
years; for the total receipts of the last
six months at La Guayra, the only
port of importance, have been only
$4,000. But $1,7OO,OOO a year will
hardly be sufficient to meet current in
terest charges. to say nothing of pay
ing off several years of defaulSed in
terest.

TO MANUFACTURE ICE.
Chicago Parties Come to Kenosha to Con-
slider Location of Ice Plant.

slider Location of Ice Plant.
Ice manufacturers were here from
Chicago today considering plans for
the opening of a factory in this city
for the manufacture of artificial ice.
AS the plans of the company are very
much in the rough at.present, it is i'm.
possible to give out anything of posi-
tive nature IN regard to the industry
or the men who will be connected with
it. It has always been supposed by
Kenosha speople = that it would be
cheaper to have ice shipped here from
the lakes rather than to manufacture
it here, but the promoters of the new
industry claim that artificial ice can
be secured in the city much cheaper
than the lake ice.
More definite plans for the industry
will probably be announced in the
near future.

THE appalling loss of life on the
great lakes during the past season has
led to demand on the part of the sail
ors for government inspection Of
sailing vessels and tow barges. All
steamers, whether they carry passen-
gers or not, are carefully looked after
by the government, and frequent in
spections of their bulls and boilers are
made. All steam vessels are given a
regular rating by the government in
spectors, and as the insurance COM
panies base their charges for insuring
both vessels and cargos on these rat
ings, it is to the interest of the own
ers to keep both hulls and machinery
in the best possible condition. Very
little attention is paid TO sailing yes
sells or tow barges, however, and they
are often kept in service long after
they are utterly unseaworthy. The
lSeamen's Union realizes the necessity
of doing something to protect the lives
of it's members and the union will
probably ask for law providing for a
more rigorous inspection of all vessels
doing business on the lakes, whether
they be steamers, sailing vessels or
tow barges. If the union decides to
take the matter up its efforts will be
seconded by the insurance companies,
whose books show a balance on the
wrong side of the ledger as result of
the seasons losses.
