from Is to shillings for the trip, in
another fortnight they stood at 5 shil-
ings, and before the new company
could quite grasp the situation John
Burns was carrying the bulk of the
traffic at the modest price of half a
crown.
1t was unpleasant for the opposition
people, but they had some sand in
them, and both parties sat down to
lose money by carrying Irish harvest
ers back to "Ould Oireland" at the
half-crown rate, with freights at a
proportionate figure. For some little
time this condition of things remained
undisturbed until rumors began to
drift round that John Burns was get
ting tired and wanted to relieve the
situation. The Burns Line office was
preparing an announcement of new
rates to come into operation at an early
date. Then the directors of the new
company frightened perceptibly and
invited one another to dinner.
But bolt dropped out of the blue.

The feeling with which the late Lord
lnverclyde was regarded by men who
came into personal contact with him
is well Indicated by his sobriquet: 1.-THE
Great l Am" 1t is said to have been
conferred upon him by DIR. John Ing
lis, a we'll known Glasgow shipbuilder,
who knew him well and constructed
several of his Irish steamers. When
the British government decided that
John Burns was an eligible person for
the reception Of the honor of a baro-
netcy at the hands of Queen Victoria
that gentleman revealed an unsuspect-
ed but charming trait of filial devotion
He expressed the wish that his father
worthy old merchant then about 80
years of age, who had retired from
business some years before to end his
days in peace and quiet-should be
made the recipient of the honor. The
request was acceded to, and a few
months later the death of Sir George
Burns made him second Baronet Of
Castle Wemyss by succession. 1t has
been said that his elevation to the
peerage, which came some years later
was not in any way hindered by the
fact that he was a baronet by sue
cession instead of by creation.
Shrewd and a hard bargainer as
his match. 1t is related that when the
Umbria and Etruria were being built
at Fairfield, Sir William Pearce sole
partner of the shipyard and the then
moving spirit of the Guion Line. coun-
tered him successfully. The Cunard
had always had the reputation of
getting it's pound of flesh" out of the
shipbuilders; but whether or not it was
MAR stawnchions, as the Clydeside
man put it, that Burns was trying to
extract under the terms of his speci-
fications, Billy" Pearce seems to have
been quite determined to give him mo
drop of blood"
Eye will put in the stanchions, Mr..
Pearce. or I'll throw the - boats
on your hands," was John Burns So
luton of the difficulty.
Throw the boats on my hands,"
roared Billy. You'll take the boats
as 1 give them to you, or I'll run them
myself out of Liverpool, till you come
and howl to me for them"
And" concluded the Clydeside man.
BURNS weel knew that what Billy
said he would dae, dae that he would,
if he split hell gettin' stairtit."
So the Umbria and Etruria sailed I'M
der the Cunard flag without the extra
stanchions.

CITY BIAS POOR SERVICE.
Complaints of Electric Lighting Service
Come in Thick and Fast.

Complaints of Electric Lighting Service
Come in Thick and Fast.
The members of the police force who
are charged with the duty of keeping
track of the number of lights burning
and the number of hours that the
lights are out when they should have
been lit, have been kept pretty busy
since the fire which partially destroyed
the plant of the lighting company.
Nobody has any desire to rub it in
on the company which is supposed to
furnish the light for the city, and the
fire has been held to furnish valid
excuse for any shortcomings Of the
company up to the present time, but
some of the city officials are beginning
to wonder how long it is going to take
to get the plant in shape.
The police report shows that "a out
of 120 lights were out for a consider
able time last night, and the officers
estimate that the lights were out 629
hours altogether, and this estimate is
more likely to be under than over the
real amount.

Present Force at Post Office too Small
to Handle Constantly lncreas-
ing Business.
TWO MORE CARRIERS ARE NEEDED.
Postmaster Frantz Makes Application to
the Department for Additional
Help for the Carriers

Sickness and overwork are playing
havoc with the arrangements for the
distribution of mail at the local post
Office, and loud cry is going up to the
department at Washington for help.
The great influx of mail combined
with unfavorable weather, has made
things doub1y hard for the carriers,
and as result of these conditions two
of them are on the sick list, and the
substitute carriers have been called on
to help out in the emergency.
Captain Frantz has been lombard
ing the higher officials of the depart
ment with requests for additional men,
and he has prepared and sent forward
statistics showing the great growth in
the business of the local Office ia the
past few years, and it seems reason
able to suppose that the request will
be granted as soon as it has time to
filter through the mass of red tape
which always hampers government
business.
In the meantime nothing remains
for the people of the city but to be as
patient as possible under these Attic
tons. The following letter may shed
some light on the carriers side of the
troubles:
Editor EVENING NEws:-Owing to
insufficient help on the force of car
riers they are compelled to take out en-
ormous loads and then are unable to
deliver the mail which has been pour
ing into the postofice this winter.
The Postmaster should make every
effort to secure at least two more car
riers, which would then allow all the
people ia the city two deliveries.
Station yourself any morning at the
front door of the postofice and see the
carriers as they emerge from the
building fairly staggering under the
loads they are compelled to carry, and
then take look in the back office
after they have worked all day and see
the mail stacked up which they are un-
able to take out in the eight hours al
lowed them by the government, and
which the people are unable to get, as
the clerks have no business to handle
the carriers mail.
Last Saturday there was at the least
calculation 1000 pieces of second class
mail and more than 200 letters left in
Office. The letters of course were de-
livered on Monday morning, but the
papers were not, and I dare say it
"a %4
week old in the Office.
I know one man who takes daily
paper say he received Saturdays, Sun
days and Mondays papers at the same
time and was glad to get them then.
Unless something is done soon to re-
lieve the congested condition of the
mails the people of the city will petit
tion the department for help.

Doctor Wingate VIII Recommend That
Dogs Be Muzzled at All Times.
DR.. u. o. B..Wingate, of Milwaukee.
secretary of the state board of health,
went to Madison Friday for the pur-
pose of appearing before the state
board of health and recommending
that every dog in Wisconsin fit to live
be muzzled, and that all lap dogs be
shot. He will recommend that the
muzzies be worn at all times except
when the carines are eating. He will
contend for this extraordinary precau-
ton as decisive. means of guarding
against an epidemic OF hydrophobia,
which, he has stated, is spreading and
which is causing health officers all
over Wisconsin much alarm. DR..
Wingate will take with him many sta
tistics and reports showing the prevail
ence of hydrophobia.
DR.. Wingate goes to Madison be-
cause he received request from the
health committee Of the legislature
and the state board yesterday to con-
fer with them in regard to certain bills
before the legislature. DR.. Evan
Roberts, of GAINESVILLE, the state vet
erinarian, has also been summoned,
and the principal topic of discussion
will be on the "mad dog" bill AS has
been stated, DIR. Wingate will take the
stand that all dogs should be muzzled
at all times, and as the present bill
does not provide for this, he will rec
ommend that it be so amended. What
suggestions DR.. Roberts will make are
unknown, but the recommendation
will be along the same line.

w. w. Cooper. of This City, Talks of the
Work in China, India and Africa.
An exceedingly interesting and
profitable talk on the Foreign Mission
Field was given lasts evening in the
parlors OF the First Baptist church.
W. w. Cooper, of Kenosha, who has
spent many years in the study of the
subject and has also himself been
abroad, spoke on the work in China,
India and Africa, the greatest mis-
sion fields of the world. He also spoke
of the great interest taken in this
modern missionary movement by the
volunteer students in our colleges and
seminaries and also increased activi-
ties among many of the leading
churches of our land. The greatest
need is felt for more mission aries in
all parts of the heather world. A gen
erous collection was taken to further
the work. The members of the social
committee served light refreshments.
The society cannot fail of a deeper
interest in foreign mission endeavor
after listening to SO earnest an appeal.

Meeting and Banquet
Friday Night.
FRANKLIN H. HEAD THE SPEAKER
Over Hundred Former Residents of the
City Gather to Discuss Old
Times In Kenosha.

The annual meeting and banquet of
the Kenosha Club, of Chicago, was
held in the parlors of the Saratoga

The meeting last night was one of
the most enjoyable ever held by the

credit for the success of the evening.
The members gathered in the parlors
of the hotel promptly at 6 O'Clock and
after an hour spent in social converse
an Adjournment was had to the ban

been prepared.
After the banquet Franklin H.

After instrumental music by Mr..
and Mrs. Marcusson and a recitation
by Mrs. (Alma Hatch) Stone, Paul r.
Utt sang solo and Frank Lyman, of
his city, paid fitting tribute to the
memory of the late George Francis.
This ended the program for the
evening but the club members fingered
long at the tables exchanging remi-
niscences of their life in Kenosha and
calling to memory friends and &C.
quaintancesof other days.
