It Has Been Suggested That Would be Quite Appro= priate to Have Red Cross Nurses Take the Place of Sponsors But it is Needless to
 Add This Will Not Be Dome.

1 struction falling so heavily upon the ad- herents of the ill-starred Stuarts and coming to the colonies Is the cavalier maid Judith, who with her father Sir Thomas Cary joins her aunt, Mrs Faulk- ner, and her son. Lawrence Faulkner, in their Virginia home. where the story gradually unfolds through many chapters of dramatic force and thrilling interest.
 The cavalier maid has many wooers, but she gives her heart into the keeping of Arthur Seton, who comes over with the Carys to the colonies, and later returns to England to fight for the Stuarts, leav ing Judith in Virginia dreaming of the restoration and of the return of her lover.
 With such a title as Mrs. Kennedy se- lected for her latest book the reader would naturally be disappointed if every man introduced in the story was not an ardent wooer of the fair heroine. and the author dispels any early doubts along this line by making her heroine so lrrisistible that long before all her cavalier wooers in pumed hats have brought soft bushes to her checks she has already made conquest of the gentle reader.
 It would be unfair, perhaps, to the reader to say that the gay captain Seton was destined to be only the ac- cepted lover, and that fate separated him at last from Judith or that intrigue and a l little deception as well and hate and re- venge are introduced in to so charming a story as suggested in "The Wooing of Judith" Perhaps 1t will even be cruel to 1 intimate that Judith, believing her lover dead, modrns one of her most faithful ] wooers, and nothing. I am sure, can be I more unpardonable than to anticipate for the reader and to inform him in advance i that the supposedly dead lover returns after Judiths marriage, and there Is scene between him and her husband.

COOKING LECTURES
 AT THE STATE FAIR.

Miss Lily Haxworth, representing H. M. Anthony of New York, will arrive in the city a few days before the opening of the fair, and each morning in the wo- mans building, between the hours of eleven and half past twelve, she will de- monstrate the art of cooking Miss Hax- worth is a delightful talker, and these de- monstrations will be dispersed with wide information on economics and household receipts. The course of instruction will include programme that will be of ben eft to every housekeeper. To live com fortably, one must have money is very true but well-exercised judgment will prescribe a course by which a small in- come judiciously spended will create a more perfect home and a better health than all the wealth left to reckless indis- crimination. Miss Haxworth has adopted her lesson to every day life within the reach of all, so no matter how circum- | stanced, every housekeeper can learn | something new each day. and go home | to put in practice what has been gained l by experience and culture, and imparteo to others in most pleasing manner | The fair association considers that fl has been extremely fortunate in securing | the services of such lecturer on food and every woman in Alabama Is invited to attend these demonstrations and asr | as many questions as she chooses.

 On negro day, which is November 3
 Miss Haxworth will give the negroes th'
 benefit of this lesson. and we hope eacf

FIT IS DIFFICULT to understand why 4 football teams want sponsors and A maids of honor. Red Cross nurses would be decidedly more appropriate" Is he suggestion thrown across the gridiron oy the Huntsville Mercury.
 This suggestion opens a wide field Of discussion. To those few who argue that football is dangerous and should be class sd among the less civilized amusements of the day the idea of a coach of white capped nurses well supplied with coat plaster will be considered as too luxurious and modern an appendage to a game upon which denunciatory comments are occasionally hurled. Should universities and colleges be made to see the error Of their ways and show an inclination to repair the wrong by providing on the field of battle corps of well-trained nurses. such a step would, to the pre-
 udiced ones. lead to even greater ex- .ravagance which might culminate in es :. sablshing emergency hospitals near the gridiron. The prejudiced ones will no loubt argue that even Red Cross nurses are not adequate, but that with the in- sreasing rage for risk the greatest medi- gal experts should be provided and that wen then no one can say with definite less what the probable consequences will ee.
 But on the other hand, the football ex- pert, the real authority on the subject, will not need the science of psychology to explain the influences under which many I football game has been lost or won, and 1t should not be at all inscutable even 10 the ordinary mind. that a smile thrown across the gr1diron has been known 10 win a game. It would be quite useless to reason with people who believed oth- erwise.
 It would be Impossible to find a foot ball team that would enter a contest with out a sponsor and a game without it's rival sponsors wearing the colors of their favori;e teams would be as barren of ex- citement as a tournament without a queen. It would almost be like Hamlet pg without Hamlet.
 That in so rash moment so cruel a statement should be made that anything eculd be more appropriate than coach of pretty maidens must ec attributed not only to a lack of appreciation, but down. right ignorance of football tactics. There are cases where sympathy overleaps dis crs.tion and in this instance the vision of q football player somewhat the worse for wear from too close contact with the lsri,iirrn is the only excuse that may be offered for this game of sponsors versus ...si tice nurses.
 Such a suggestion, if taken seriously, might bring dismay to many fair lover of football, whom no one would blame for refusing to accept such a situation either calmly of philosophically.

THE death of T. Dewitt Ta1mage
closes a unique career. The last of
those great national preachers whose
sermons were read and discussed all
over the country, DR.. Ta1mage as
preacher and author exerted an inf1u-
ence for good that can not be meas
ured. No preacher of his time had
such hold upon the public. His SER
mons were published in the newspaper
press all over the country and he
preached to millions of people every
Sunday. His readers could be found
in every city and village, and even in
the most remote parts of the country,
and their interest in what he had to
say never tagged. For nearly twenty
years his sermons have been a feature
in thousands of papers and the pub
lie demand for the Talmage sermons
was imperative. He was a man of
brilliant eccentricities, and his meth
DDS were regarded by some people as
Extensively spectacular. He has often
been accused of 'sensationa1ism," but
it cannot be doubted that the influence
of his sermons was for good. He
always taught high living and clean
morality. His appeals were made to
the heart rather than to the head and
he conscientiously strove to incu1cate
those principles which he believed
would make for the betterment of
humanity. Much as his extravaganza
of manners has been criticised, it
should not be forgotten that his SER
mons were eagerly read by thousa uds

Supervisor OF Assessments William H.
Harrison Gives Strict Instruc-
tions to Assessors.
PENALTIES TO BE ENFORCED
Assessors Found Guilty of Not Assessing
Property at Full Value Will Be Fined
$5OO-Many Instructions Given.

The Assessors of the different towns
in the county gathered at the court
room at the Court House Saturday
to receive instructions from Supervisor
of Assessments William H. Harrison
in regard to the work to be done DUR
ing the next few months. Every town
in the county was represented and if
they carry out the rules laid down by
Mr.. Harrison the tax list for the COM
ing year will be many times greater
than in previous years.
In a carefully prepared paper Mr..
Harrison explained the State law in
regard to assessments, laying especial
stress on the portion of the law pro-
erty. This portion of the law the AS
SCISSOR explained must be carried out to
the letter both in the city and In the
country. He spoke of country prop
erty and stated that farms must be
raised so that the assessment would
correspond with their real value. In
speaking of this point Mr.. Harrison
laid down a strict rule showing that
even the building of fence on farm
often made it more valuable than it
had been before.
In regard to the industrial interests
of the city, Mr.. Harrison stated that it
was patent that these industries had
been assessed too low, but that he did
not believe that the assessments were
as far from the right figures as had
been supposed. Personal property is
also to be assessed and the Assessors
are ordered to make every possible ef-
fort to locate this sort of taxable prop
erty and to see that it is properly listed
on the tax rolls.
AS to the law, Mr.. Harrison had lit
tie to say more than to comment in the
words of General Grant, '"The best
way to get rid of law that is not fair
is to enforce it," This he held was
the keynote OF his instructions. The
law must be enforced to the letter in
Kenosha county in order that the bur-
den of taxation may rest on the proper
parties.
The Assessors will begin their work
within few weeks and it is probable
that property in the towns and in the
city will be assessed as near as posi-
Bile at it's actual value.

JUDO CHOLLET.
The Telegraph-courier. [volume] (Kenosha, Wis.) 1888-1946, 1902-04-24

THE attempt of the carpet-baggers
of Hawaii to have Gov. Dole removed
from office to make room for one of
their number has failed. Gov. Dole
has a special knowledge of the
Hawaiians gained during his long res
idence in the islands and it is certain
that no man from this country could
be as we'll fitted to discharge the ex-
acting duties of the Office as he is.
Gov. Dole was first selected by the in
habitants of the islands themselves
and they have had no reason to be-
1ieve that their confidence in him was
misplaced. The official statement
sent out from the White House was as
follows:
''The President, after most careful
investigation and personally hearing
as many men as possible, and hearing
from others, has come to the conclu.
sion that Governor Dole's course has
been such as to warrant his continu.
ance as Governor of Hawaii and to en-
title him to the respect and hearty sup.
ort of the administrations

THE semi-official announcement that
the President has decided to let Gen
era1 Miles remain for time at least
at the head of the army comes from
Washington. No one questions Miles
bravery, or that he is entitled to some
consideration on the score of past ser
vices, but of late years he has devel-
oped into a regular Auntie Fuss, and
by his indiscretion has kept himself IN
continual hot water. Like the parrot
he talked too much. He is continually
"agin' the governme and has an
exaggerated idea of his own import
ance. He devotes too much time to
endeavoring to have himself "men-
toned as candidate for the Presi-
dency and too little to attending to his
regular business. No one would care
especially if the President saw fit to
disp1ace Miles at the head of the army
by an officer more in sympathy with
the administration. There is no par
ticular interest taken in the matter
either way. If the President can put
up with Miles vagaries until his time
runs out and he is retired by law, the
country can stand it. Miles is opposed
to the army bill now under considera-
ton because it limits the powers of the
commanding general, overlooking the
fact that it also limits his opportuni-
ties for getting into trouble with his
superiors. His own position as self
constituted critic of the administration
is one of the strongest arguments in
favor of the establishment of a gen
eral staff which would be made up of
officers more in sympathy with the
general policy of the administration.

MANY SEEK HIM AS HIS WIFE
President of Bachelor Club Who must
Marry Gets Many Dainty Missiyes.

Louis J. Yeoman, formerly of this
city, the new president of the Wauke-
gan Bachelors club and candidate for
matrimony this year, is reaping the
result of the newspaper prominence
given him in this connection. Matri-
monia1 papers and interesting letters
from susceptible young women who
have read about him burden his mail
and if he chooses he will probably have
little difficulty in securing life part
ner. One young woman wrote long
letter. inqulring about the club and it's
peculiar requirements and limiting that
she would like to get better acquainted
with its new president. When it is
known that Mr.. Yeoman is a bright,
musical young business man of about
80, member of a prominent family
and having jewe1ry store at his back,
to say nothing of fine automobile,
the attractiveness of the proposition
will be increased. He was for num-
Der of years in the music business in
Kenosha.

CONTRACT rs LET.
Hugh r. Edwards, of Racine, will Build
the New Baptist Church.

The building committee of the First
Baptist church met Wednesday even
ing for the purpose of opening bids for
the construction of the new church and
letting the contracts. The general
contract for the church was let to Hugh
r. Edwards, of Racine. The con-
tract price has not as yet been made
public, but it is said to have been in
the neighborhood of twelve thousand
dollars. The work of building will be
started within few days and the con-
tract calls sfor the completion of the
church building by the first of October.
The contract, as let to Mr.. Edwards,
includesspractically all the work on the
building. The Kenosha bids were all
much higher than the bid made by the
Racine man, and while the committee
would have preferred to have given the
contract to aiKenosha man there was
such ide.difference in the bids that
this was impossible. It is probable
that Kenosha labor will be employed
as far asspossible on the building.
