OUTSIDE MUSIC BARRED.
Union Musicians of Kenosha Would Make a
Binding Contract with Outside Music

The musicians Of the city are max
ing an effort to form a combination
with orchestras in Chicago and Mil
waukee by which the out-of-town or
chestras will not be permitted to play
in Kenosha without the consent of the
local musicians.
For some time the society people of
the city have been in the habit of i'm
porting orchestras for dances, and IN
this manner one of the rules of organ
lied labor has been violated. The Ra-
cine musicians have already made ar
rangements to prevent Chicago must
clans coming to Racine, and the local
musicians will probably be equally
successful.
It is not probable that the new rule
will be very strictly enforced in Keno
sha, as there is a very kindly feeling
between the social leaders and the or
chestras of the city, and the consent
of the orchestras will be easily OBJ
tanned if any of the Kenosha hosts or
hostesses desire to employ Chicago or
chestras for an occasional dance, but
the rule is being made in order to
carry out the plans of the national Or
ganization of musicians.

LENT COMING SOON.
In Few Weeks Social Gaiety Will Be In
terrupted for Forty Days.

terrupte0 for Forty Days.
The season of Lent is now close at
hand. In a few weeks the season of
social gayety will be interrupted for
forty days, and in its place will come
a season of quiet, and religious OBJ
servance. Lent, observed to commem-
crate the forty days fast of our Lord
in the wilderness, begins this year on
February 12th-Ash Wednesday. 1t
ends with Easter Sunday-the day of
spring costumes. The period of fast
ing is forty days, with all the churches
which observe Lent, except the Greek
churches, which have heightened it to
forty-eight days. Sundays are not
counted in the fast. Pope Gregory,
the Great, in 500, directed that the sea-
son should begin on the sixth Sunday
before Easter, and that on the inter
vening week days fasting should be
practiced. Afterwards, either by him,
or by Gregory II, four days were add
ed, to make the whole fast forty days.
The six Sundays included in the
Lenten period are observed as festi-
walls, never as fasts, and are therefore
called Sundays IN Lent and not Sun
days of Lent. The last, or passion
week is considered the most solemn
portion of the season and is generally
known as ''Ho1y week"
The ancient observance of Lent was
Of the most rigorous character. Non
observance frequently resulted in Sc
we're punishment and often excommun-
ication. All flesh and even the So
called "white meats" were excluded.
Modern customs, however, have caused
a relaxation Of the old and severe
methods of observing the period. But
the principal of permitting but one
meal, with a slight collation. is still
everywhere retained.

W0man's Club has an Interesting Dis
CuSsiOn of Charles the First
of England.
PAPER BY MRS. FRANK H. LYMAN
Interesting Discussion on the Contempt
raries of the Famous King Follows
Reading of the Paper.
(F'rom Thursdays Daily.)

"Charles the First, Man and King"
formed an interesting topic for the
discussion of the members of the
Woman's Club at their regular meet
ing at the Library building Wednes-
day afternoon, and it is doubtful if the
character of any English King was
ever presented to the club in better
and more comprehensive manner than
was that of Charles I, in the paper
read by Mrs. F. H. Lyman.
In her paper Mrs. Lyman brought
out all the cardinal points of the dual
nature of the first of the English
Char1eses. She took up the beautiful
lover of his wife and home, and fol-
lowed closely with description of the
manner in which he fought out his
bitter contest, and finally surrendered
his life in his effort to esta blish for
ever the ''divine right Of kings" The
essayist showed that in many ways
Charles was the most sincere of the
long list of English kings of the line
of James the First. She touched at
length on the development of the little
romance with the infanta of Spain,
and the double dealing of Charles in
this matter, which was so consistent
with his dual nature. She showed
that while Charles touched his enemies
with an iron hand, he was ever ruled
by passion Of a youth, swaying to
this side and that as influence was
brought to bear, but the one point on
which he remained supremacy firm was
in his fight for domination of king
over parliament.
Mrs. Lyman's paper was completed
by short discussion of the final years
of Charles and his reign, showing how
he followed his belief in his power tC
his trial before the House of Commons
and finally to his execution at the
hands of the enemies. Through ali
the dignity of king remained intact
Until the time when he was laid tc
rest in St. Georges Chapel without
any Of the pomp worthy of one of his
rank.
Mrs. Lyman brought out quite lit
tie of the private life of Henrietta
Maria "the forgotten woman," the
wife of Charles. Mrs. Lyman gave
Henrietta Maria a strong place in his
tory. She spoke of her splendid quail
tiles as wife and mother, of her abili
ties as musician and made the state
ment that had not Henrietta been the
Queen of the realm she would have
been Eng1and's greatest prima donna
In all, the paper of Mrs. Lyman was
one of the most interesting ever read
before the club. An interesting dis
cussion on the life of Charles and his
contemporaries was led by Mrs. w. P.
Robinson. The afternoon ended with
a cup of tea, Mrs. Saunders and Mrs.
]. L. Hewitt presiding at the tables.
The next meeting of the club will
take place on the afternoon of Febru-
airy 5th, when Mrs. Ida 12edeker Suth-
er1aud will have a paper on the
subject "Our Repub1ic-A World Pow

AN OLD TIME PARTY.
Ladies of the Maccabees Revive the Dances
of other Days.

Ore of the jolliest social events ever
held in Kenosha was the old time party
given Wednesday evening by the
Ladies of the Maccabees at A. 0. U. w.
hall. Fully three hundred guests at
tended the party and most of them
we're well along in years and for this
reason they entered heartily in the
pleasures. William Wells and his old
time orchestra furnished the music for
the dance and called out the old time
quadri1les, the Virginia reel and even
old Dan Tucker was given a revival.
1t was rare sport for the old guests
at the party to mingle again in these
dances, but the younger generation
were forced to stand aside on account
of the fact that they were not acquaint-
ed with the mazes Of the old dance.
Shortly before midnight refreshments
were served after which dancing con
tinued until early morning. In all
the party was one of the most enjoy.
able ever given in the city.

OBNOXIOUS BOOK AGENTS.
Crowd of Them Working the Town Should
be Ordered to Vacate at once.


There is a crowd of book agents at
work in Kenosha at the present time,
that should be shown the shortest cut
out of the city and the State. The
men are of the most modern type of
book agents, and in fact their brass
and cheek has been so fully developed
that they are nothing more or less than
= nuisance.
They go about in business houses
with the intention of selling something
to the people employed, and in one
case at least where the men were or
dered out of the place they not only re-
fused to go but began abusing the pro
prietors of the place.
Book agents may be all right in
their place, but there are only few of
this class of unfortuu ates who are ac-
quainted with the aforesaid place. If
these fellows are as great a nuisance
to the housewives of the city as they
are to the men in the business portion,
the ladies will be perfectly justified
in calling the police and having the
agents taken before magistrate on a
charge of abating a nuisance.

DEFEATS THE CHAMPION.
Peter schmitt Defeats ], W. Carney, the
Pool Champion, by a Big Score.


Peter Schmitt regained his laurels
as Champion of Wisconsin Wednesday
evening when he took a decided vic
tory from Jos. w. Carney, the North
western pool champion, at the Schmitt
Billiard parlors. 1t was the last game
of the series between the two men,
Carney having won the preceding
match by narrow margin of three
points.
Schmitt was IN championship form
from the opening Of the game, and led
his opponent from the first frame until
the game was finished. The final
score was Schmitt 157, Carney 102.
The game played by Schmitt We'd
nesday night was one of the finest ex-
hibitions of pool ever seen in Keno
sha. Six times he drove the balls
from the taoie without allowing his
opponent shot, and the Kenosha man
esta blished a new record by making
the fifteen balls three times in success
sion. Schmitt was strong in every
point of the game, and his shots
brought out repeated applause from
the large crowd that witnessed the
contest.
Carney never had chance to win
after the first break of the balls, for
the perfect form in which Schmitt was
playing made it impossible for the St.
Paul man to get into the game. The
score of the match follows:
schmitt-5, Is, 2, g. 49, 49, Is, II, 4, IL, a. 9, II.
