FASTEST CRUISER EVER BUILT
Novik Can Show Her Heels to Any OF
the War Vessels.


During it's trial trips in the bay OF
Danzig the cruiser Novik, which was
built by Schichau, maintained spee@
of over 25 knots per hour for six
hours, and an average of 20 knots per
hour during a trip of three hours.
The vessel was not accepted by the
owners until the required speed had
been made by its own crew on trial
trips lasting for several hours.
The large English armored cruiser
Drake is to make Is knots: whether
1t can do 1t is yet to be proved. The
Hogue, which my be taken to be q
sister ship of the Drake, ought to
have made 90 knots. Its tri-l trips
have shown, however, that it Ia ca
pable of doing only % knots.
The Novik thus remains by far the
fastest cruiser in the world.

Report OF the Collector OF Customs
Shows That Eenosha Harbor is
a Mere Wind Protection.
CONS TANT DECREASE OF SHIPPING
New Boat Line Would Make the Tonnage
Ten Times as Great in Year.-Ton-
mage Breaks All Low Records.

There are many people IN the city
who have been bowling at Congress
because no appropriation is recon-
mended or made for the Kenosha har
Dor, but the monthly report of Custom 8
Collector George Hale, which was for
warded to Washington this afternoon,
shows pretty clearly why all support
for the Kenosha harbor has been cut
off.
In days gone by Kenosha had har-
bot which was busy as mart Of trade.
Dozens Of boats came into the harbor
in week and the tonnage ran up into
the hundreds Of thousands, but times
have changed aud the harbor is now
nothing more than wind shield for
unfortunate boats caught in the storms
between Chicago and Milwaukee.
Several months have passed during
the present year according to the re-
port Of the collector when not single
boat has passed the pier light of the
harbor. In one other month the tom
mage of the harbor was but 1875 tons.
The boats which were formerly
familiar to the people about the harbor
have sailed to other ports and the rail
way has taken the place of the boat
lines carrying in the raw material for
the Kenosha industries. The building
of the spur of railway track 10 the
Allen tannery took out of Kenosha the
bark fleet which was one of the largest
on the lakes.
The lum bermen of the city have
found that they can have their lumber
laid down by the railway almost as
cheaply as by schooner and this has
taken another big fleet from the har-
Dor. The boats that are now coming
in are mostly tramps of the lake drop
ping IN now and then to unload cargo
Of potatoes or coming IN light to await
for favorable winds.
The records of the collector which
are appended to his monthly report
show that the tonnage of the harbor
has been decreasing in alarming pro-
portions ever since 1900. In 1900 the
tonnage was the average half million,
but in 1901 it dropped to 102,O15 tons.
This comparatively large tonnage was
brought about mainly by the fact that
the steamer City of Grand Rapids was
running into this port. The following
year the steamer was withdrawn from
business and the tonnage dropped to
the low point of 48, 040 tons. But this
low record was broken again in the
present year when up to the first day
of October the tonnage Of the harbor
amounted to only 1873 tons. The
coming Of the steamer City Of Mar
quette has almost doubled this tonnage
in single month and thus far the
month of October shows tonnage of
1O,438.
The continuation Of the Marquette
on the regular run to Kenosha will
greatly increase the tonnage Of the
harbor and it is possible that in time
if the merchants support this vessel
that the tonnage of the harbor will be
brought up to the point when the gov
eminent will take some notice of Ke-
nosha and its waterway.

Members Of Old Mutual Life Insurance
Company Consider General With
drawal from New Company.
RATES ARE GIVEN BIG BOOST.
Old Members of Former Company Are Be-
Ing Forced to Pay Nearly Double Rates
ON Account of Increase In Age.

Mem bers of the old Milwaukee Mu-
tual Life Insurance company, which
recently was merged into the Life In
surance company of Pennsylvania,
have been notified that their rates
have been Increased. The older mem
bers must pay the highest increases,
all Of them will pay rates on their
present age instead of the age at
which they entered the company.
In some cases, this Increase will
prove a heavy one. Mem bers who had
heretofore paid $.54 a month for $4,000
Of insurance, have been notified that
they must pay premium Of So and an
assessment of $3 81 a month. The
premium, it is said, will pay the run
ming expenses Of The company, while
the assessments will pay the death
losses.
When the old company was assigned
to the Pennsylvania concern, the mem
bers were notified that there would be
readjustment of rates, but until now
none of them knew how much of an in
crease there would be, Or on what basis
it would be made.
There are about 1000 members IN
Milwaukee who will feel the raise, but
SO far no dissatisfaction has been ex-
pressed there. Ia Kenosha there are
about $50, and there is some talk of
calling massmeeting to denounce the
rates. Many have sent in notices of
withdrawal. The plan of readjust-
ment is practically reinsurance, ex-
cept that each member is guaranteed a
policy and need not undergo physi.
cal examination. The rate will be
based on his present age, as though
his application had just been filed.
The company has had an eventful
career. First it was organized as the
Royal Adelphia, then it became the
Fraternal Alliance, and then the Mil
waukee Mutual Life Insurance COM
pany. Then it was merged with the
Pennsylvania Odd Fellows Insurance
association, and lately the name of
this organization was changed to the
Life Insurance company of Pennsyl-
vania.
