China Lore For Amateurs.

The amateur china collector is often
confused by the terms 'hard paste"
and ''soft paste" The Ladies' World
explains them thus: The paste is the
clay Of which the article is made.
Hard paste is made of natural clays,
and when broken shows bright and
sparkling. In hard paste articles the
rim on which they rest is left without
glaze, which is an easy method of
distinguishing them. These hard paste
porcelaiEs were made at Plymouth,
Bristol and Liverpool. Oriental china
is also hard paste.
Soft paste is more porous and dull,
very often creamy in tint. Soft paste
wares were made in many places in
England, such as Bow, Chelsea, Worces-
ter, Derby, Staffordshire, ETC.
The glaze must be distinguished
from the paste. 1t is the CLASSY cover
ing OF the paste. 1t may be hard or
soft, the hard paste feeling cold and
CLASSY to the touch, the soft paste
rather soft and gummy.

Commissioners Selected Award Samuel Rice
and Balm Heirs $3.50 Each as Damages.
The fight over the extension of How
land avenue into the town of Somers
is practically over, for last Thursday
night the commissioners selected
to award damages in the case returned
verdict allowing Samuel T. Rice the
sum of $3.50 and Mrs. Balm and Mrs.
Newell an equal amount. While this
is far from the amount claimed by the
protesting property owners it is large
increase over the amount offered as
damages by the town board AND it is
thought that there will be no further
objection. Of course the ward of the
commissioner is final but the town
board may now refuse to open the road
if the damages are considered exces-
sive. The town board had offered the
property owners $50 and the award of
the commission is an increase of $3.50
over this amount. It is alleged that
the damages awarded will be about
sufficient to build the fences that will
be made necessary for the opening of
the road.

Lulu Petit Brannan Of This City Com
mitted Suicide in a Hotel in
Chicago Wednesday Night.
FEARED LOSS OF HER BEAUTY.
Deceased was the Granddaughter of the
Late Judge James Petit of this City
and was Noted for Her Beauty.

The fatal gift of beauty was the
cause of Mrs. Lulu Petit Brannan, for
merly Lulu Petit of this city, commit
ting suicide in the Del Prado Hotel in
Chicago Wednesday night or Thurs
day morning. She was found lying
on couch in her room at the hotel
and by the side of the couch was found
six ounce bottle which had contained
chloroform. The label had been
scratched off of it. The announcement
of the tragic death of Mrs. Brannan
has caused a profound sensation In
Kenosha where she was formerly a
reig ning beauty.
James E. Petit brother of the
young woman last night stated that
his sister had taken her own life but
that it was possible that she had taken
the chloroform to ally pain from
which she was suffering. Mrs. Bran.
nan had been acting queerly for some
time and it is supposed that she was
temporarily insane. 1t is probable that
the remains will be brought to Keno
sha for interment but this has not as
yet been decided upon.
Lulu Petit was the granddaughter
of the late Judge James Petit and she
spent merry girlhood in Kenosha.
She was acknowledged to be the most
beautiful young woman that ever lived
in the city. She left Kenosha years
ago and was married to Robert Bran
nan. wealthy real estate and insur-
ance broker OF Denver. She had come
to Chicago only a short time ago to
take treatment for skin disease
which had narred her beauty. On the
morning before her suicide she had
said to her maid, sob! must always be
the yelled woman? Will people always
stare at my face because it is ugly
just as they were formerly attracted
by my beauty?" This seemed to
worry Mrs. Brannan greatly and she
was continuously bewailing the loss
of her beauty.
Early Thursday morning, when her
maid, Miss Mckinley, called her in her
room at the Del Prado hotel, where
Mrs. Brannan had registered on her
arrival in Chicago, there was no re-
Spouse. Guests were then summoned
and upon entering Mrs. Brannan's
room they found her lying unconscious.
A physician was called in and he ad-
vised the removal of the patient to a
hospital, where she died later in the
day. The police have made inquiry in
drug stores in the neighborhood, but
no record was found of recent sale of
chloroform.
Guests at the hotel said that of late
Mrs. Brannan had appeared despond-
ent
The young woman who took her
own life was daughter Of Mrs. Wells
of Denver, who was a daughter of
Judge Petit, late of Kenosha. Judge
Petit also had another granddaughter
Lulu Petit who was we'll known in
Kenosha. Many people have confus-
ed the two.

CANNOT TRANSFER.
Suit Started in Racine to Force CITY
Council to Refuse to Transfer
Liquor Licenses.
kENosHA ACTING ILLEGALLY

An important suit has been started
in Racine which will be of great inter.
est to the people of Kenosha county.
For years the city attorneys of this
city have held that the city council had
no right to transfer a liquor license
from one man to another but notwith
standing the fact the council has gone
right on doing it and the people who
opposed the transfers have been forced
to grin and bear it as there was no de.
cision of the Supreme Court on which
the fight could be made against the
action of the council.
The case in Racine promises to be a
precedent as the Y. M. G. A. of that
city has brought suit to force the
city to refuse to transfer the liquor
license of A. E. Bradford who is plan
ming to open saloon near the Y. M.
c. A. building. There is no doubt but
that the matter will be fought out in
the courts and precedent establish
ed which will serve as guide for the
other cities in the state who are forced
to wrestle with the same vexed ques-
ton.
In Kenosha for the last twenty-five
years the licenses have been transfer
red not only against objections of peo-
pie of the city but at positive loss to
the city treasury. The law as it reads
would force the man who takes IL
cense to surrender it to the city when
he goes out Of business and his success
sor would be just as much bound to
get out new license before he went
into business. In the last twenty
years the city has lost a great deal of
money in this manner and many times
efforts have been made to have the
council abolish the custom. However
the saloon men have always been
strong enough to prevent the abolish
ment of the rule and the transfer of
licenses goes merrily on. The suit
which is started in Racine will give
the people in Kenosha who are inter.
ested in the matter chance to get a
line by which to work.
