ANANlAS AND CAIN ARE DEAD
strange Way of Naming Children In
Eastern PcnusyIvauia.

Ananias Shoemaker. aged II years.
died ut Ilcnningsvillc, Lehigh County,
recently lie was Il retired farmer.
When they were young men he well
knew Cain Minninger In Earl Town
ship. who died short time ago. Far.
mcr Shoemaker was Il reputable and
truthful citizen despite his first name.
and Mr.. Ninninger was II gentle and
inolfensive man, Notwithstanding the
name he bore. says Reading, Pa, dis.
patch to the New York Sun.
The deaths of these aged men and
their first names have called public ut.
tcntion to the fact that Biblical names
were chosen by parents for their chill.
drcn without any regard for their as
ISOLATION in holy writ. In the olden
days ministers did not hesitate to Use
any names that parents suggested ut
church or private christenings. Cain,
Ananias. Judas Iscariot and the like
were used commonly. One father
named Cain had his first.born son
had carried that name for twenty five
years and had had good luck. so he
would give it to his boy to show he
had no III feeling at all for his parents
for giving him that name.
The preachers who now travel the
circuits or who reside In the country
| districts are gradually putting II stop
to this. one clergyman said today:
"Only the other week was In the
hills of Earl and was called into n
backwoods cabin to christcn bright
infant boy Judas. 1scariot. l asked
the father why he had selected such
a name. and he replied that 1t was in
the Bible. and that as he read his Tes.
lament Judas never meant to betray.
but took the money thinking the Lord
would be all powerful to escape all his
enemies. After little reasoning with
the parents they decided to name Their
boy Silas. Not every father who Sc.
lccts u name like Cain or Judas has
such a thorough knowledge as would
Justify It's use. I think these names
are gradually going out Of style. For
tunntely all the people that l know
who bear such names are excmplnr!
people. Things are constantly chang
ing, and with them all christening
are no exception"

The company seeking a franchise
for a new telephone system in the city
has offered to install aud maintain
free of charge six telephones for the
use of the city. If any franchisei is to
be granted some of the benefits of the
new system should be extended to the
public schools and the company should
be required to place a phone in each of
the several ward school buildings and
in the High school in addition to those
furnished for the use of the city. Com
plete telephone communication be-
tween all the schools of the city would
be great convenience to the Princi-
pal and teachers and save them much
valuable time, Many of the members
of the School Board believe that all the
school buildings should be supplied
with telephones, not so much for the
convenience of the Principal and
teachers, but as precautionary meas
ure to enable the teachers to give
prompt warning in case of fire or acct
dent. The matter has often been dis
cussed by the Board, but the members
have always hesitated TO order the i'm
provement on account of the expense.
The company now seeking franchise
would in all probability be very willing
to agree to equip the school buildings
with phones, if such an agreement is
made one of the conditions of their
franchise, and the Council should see
that it is.

The very threat of competition has
improved the telephone service in this
city already and the company now en-
joying a monopoly of The business is
actually beginning to take mild in
terest in the complaints of its patrons,
and making not too strenuous effort
to give some sort of service in return
for value received. If the old company
furnishes any sort of half way accept
able service it will be difficult matter
for any new system to get much of a
foothold III the city. If the merchants
and business men could be assured of
fair treatment from the old company
when once the new franchise is de-
feated most of them would be opposed

COOPER WOULD WAIT.
Sees No Need For Hurry in Selecting New
Speaker of the House

Congressman Cooper believes it
would be unwise for the Wisconsin
delegation in Congress to go on record
at this early date as booming Babcock
for speaker to succeed Henderson, but
believes it would be better policy to
await developments in order to be free
to act as the best judgment may die
tate at the proper time, because the
question is one of national importance
and not merely concerning Wisconsin.
In an interview on the question Mr..
Cooper thus explains his standpoint:
81 have received letters from many
members of the House from different
States suggesting that it would be well
to postpone action on the speakership
question until after the members have
gathered at Washington for the COM
ing session of Congress. They have
manifested great deal of interest as
to what Wisconsin intended to do.
"It will be only a little more than
two weeks until Congress meets, and
there is nothing TO be gained by pre-
cipitate action. There is no haste re-
quired regarding the selection of a
speaker to succeed Speaker Henderson,
anyway, as his election will not take
place for nearly fifteen months, unless
there is an extra session.
"The candidates have heard men
toned for speaker of the next congress
are Mr.. Babcock, Mr.. Cannon. Mr..
Dalzell and Mr.. Payne and Mr.. Sher-
man, of New York.
"Great influences are at work in
favor of the candidates. We should
not tie ourselves up in any way, but
should be free to act as our best judg-
ment may dictate when the time
comes.
''The question is national one, not
a state question. If Mr.. Babcock is
found to be the strongest candidate /
will favor him. But we ought to
watch developments. Great questions
will come before the next congress and
the speaker will hold mighty power
over Legislators. It would be we'll to
see how those who are candidates stand
on questions as they come up at the
next session before committing our
selves to any candidate"

CONGRESSMAN COOPER's advice to
the Republicans of Wisconsin not to
pledge themselves to support anyone
for Speaker of the House until after
the nextssessiou of Congress is sound.
Great questions are to come up and the
positionsofHthe candidate for speaker
ought tosbe clearly defined upon all Of
them before pledges of support are
made. If pledges are made SO far in
advance of.theatirne Of the selection Of
the Speaker it is quite possible that
the Republicans of the state may fine
themselves bound to support canG;-
date to whose views they are diametri-
cally opposed.

TELEPHONES GALORE.
j. e. Kee1yn Comes to Kenosha Seeking
Franchise for a Model system,

j. e. Keelyn Comes to Kenosha Seeking
Franchise for a Model System.
kenosha is at present in the throes
OF telephone agitation and from the
present indications within the next
few weeks hard fight will be on for
the building Of an independent tele-
phone line in the city.
Charles "A. Sterling, of Lacrosse,
now has before the Council frau
Ichise ordinance asking right to con-
struct new system of telephones in
the city and within few days a SINH
lar franchise ordinance will be sent to
the City Council by J. E. Keelyn, of
Chicago, who claims that he is in the
position to offer the city better prop
osition than the one now being offered
by the Lacrosse man. Keelyn is the
travelling representative for the West
ern Telephone Construction company
which has it's central office in Chicago
and it's factories at Winthrop Rarbor
and it is his intention to build ia Ke-
nosha a model line which will be
shown to prospective buyers of tele-
phone instruments.
This second fran chise has not as yet
been prepared, but Mr.. Keelyn was in
the city Wednesday and presented his
claims for recognition to many of the
business men and he seems to have
made marked impression. He stated
to the business men that if the people
of Kenosha were DESTROYS of municipal
ownership of telephone lines he would
be willing to insert in his franchise
ordinance a clause which would pro-
vide for the sale of the system to the
city at any time the Council should de-
eide to buy the Telephone company'&
interest. Mr.. Keelyn has already in
terested number of Kenosha people
in his proposed company.
There is little doubt but that
!arge number of the people of the city
aye in favor Of some change in the ar
engagements of telephone privileges in
the city and it is possible that in
the new companies something of an
advancement over the old regime will
be found. For years the people of the
city have stood for the abuses from the
Wisconsin companies and their de-
mands for better service have been met
with rebuffs until patience has ceased
to be virtue.
If in the competition of rival com.
panies for franchise rights chance is
given the people of the city to secure
line that will improve the conditions
the Council should givetthe matter its
most careful attention. The bulk of
the people of the city are opposed to
double system of phone but nearly all
are willing to accept a double system
rather than to allow the present buses
to continue for longer time. .

Park Place Residents Think They Have
Been Duped by Couple of Strangers.
Some of the people of the city resid-
ing about the park believe that they
we're duped by couple of smooth
swindlers this morning. The two men
came to the city early this morning
and made trip about the city, stop
ping at the residences and asking the
lady of the house to contribute fifty
cents toward securing Christmas din
ner for the poor. The story told by
the men was little disconnected and
they failed to state under whose aus
pices the dinner was to be given and
where it was to be held. One of the
men stated the dinner was to be given
in either Racine or Kenosha, but the
place had not been decided upon.
There is no organization in Kenosha
planning such dinner and it is just
as we'll to be on the safe side and give
the men wide berth instead of the
desired fifty cents.
