THE contrast between the care exer-
cised on European railroads to prevent
loss of life and the inefectiveness of
the preventive measures IN use on
American systems has caused the agi-
tation for the removal of the $4,000
sta tutory limit as the amount of dam
ages which may be collected for the
destruction of a life, and the move
ment has been strongly supported by
public opinion in those States where
the Legislatures have taken up the
question of abolishing the limit.

THE strict orders issued by the
steamship companies to their agents
to book no passengers that are to be
excluded is the best evidence that the
rigid enforcement of the immigra ton
laws is having good effect, and that
the scum of all the earth is no longer
perm tied to come in. The cost of re-
turning rejected immigrants to their
homes has cut into the profits of the
steamship companies to such an extent
that hey are exerting every possible
preca ution to avoid possible losses and
no e,uigrant about whose admission
there can be any question is to be per-
mitted to sail in the future.

THE bill introduced in the Assembly
for the establishment of a State hos
pital for the treatment of con sumption
is a measure that should be enacted
nto law. The State spends thousands
annually for guarantees and the reg
ulation and prevention of ontagious
diseases such as smallpox and scarlet
fever, that are not quarter as deadly
as the great white plague" and there
is no good reason why the State should
not spend some money to hold in check
a disease that claims more victims
than all the other contagious diseases
put together. 1t is proposed that a
hospital shall be erected somewhere in
the pine woods in the Northern part of
the State, where the air is pure and es.
pecially> healthful for consumptives.
All residents Of the State shall be ELI
gible for admission to the hospital and
the counties from which they come are
10 guarantee the payment of $1.50 per
week for each individual. The hospi-
tai is to be under the supervision of
the State Board Of Control. There is
no doubt that consumption, in its first
ST. IS at least, can be cured, and if the
Dill goes through proper medical aid
will be within reach of every victim of
tlr diSca Sc in the State. More than
his, The sufferers will be isolated, and
the spread Of the disease checked.

RITOHIE MAKES A HIT.
Large Crowd Greets the Magician at the
Rhode Tuesday Night.

Richie, the magician, gave the clos
ing number of the Star Course at the
Rhode opera house Tuesday evening,
and crowd testing the capacity of the
house gathered to watch the mysteri-
Gus performances of the magician.
Like Kellar, and Hermann the Great
there is an element of humor in the
magic of Richie which makes it most
interesting and enjoyable. All the
feats were performed with dexterity
which made them simply wonderful.
The most remarkable feat of the
evening was the suspension of the
body of Mrs. Richie in the air, while
under an alleged hynotic spell.
Miss Blanche Neal and Frank Hall
added to the enjoy nent of the evening
by the rendition of number Of musi-
cal and literary numbers.

The little village of New Munster,
mecca of Kenosha county farmers
Tuesday on account of the fact that the
first Farmers Institute that has been
held in the county in several years is
being held at New Munster under the

able to this climate and gave the best
methods known for the care of the ami
mails. Mr.. Bradley spoke of dairy
cows and gave many helpful hints to
the farmers present in regard to the

prove the work of the dairies in this
section of the State.

before the afternoon session and many
of the farmers took part in the infor-
NAL discussions brought up in regard

The efforts of the Mayor to have a
full representation of the different
wards of the city were successful, and
as a result of these efforts fifteen of
the sixteen aldermen were present.
Alderman Kleist, of the Fifth ward,
voted against the passage of the te1e-
phone ordinance on account of the
fact that he was opposed to the grant
ing of fifty year franchises under any
conditions. He was not particularly
opposed to the telephone franchise and
admitted that an independent ex-
change would be good thing for the
city.
The ordinance was passed without
any amendments further than those
added to the ordinance at the last
meeting of the City Council.
The period of time allowed for the
completion of the exchange of $50 tele-
phones is placed at one year.
Sewer Ordinance Passed.
The long ordinance making it posi-
BILE for the committee to lay out new
sewer districts in the city was also
passed, Alderman O'Brien dissenting.
BY the terms of the ordinance the city
council is given the power to abandon
or to enlarge any Of the present sewer
systems and if found necessary to lay
out an entirely new system. There is
one rule laid down and that is that
when sewers are to be built during any
year full list of them should be filed
by the street assessment committee at
the first meeting of the council in
March. This list was filed by the
committee last night and it provides
for the building of sewers on the fol-
lowing streets during the ensuing
year: Ridge, Pleasant, Strong, South
Oak, Congress, Garden, Park and
Grand streets and Fremont and Grand
avenues. The sewers not included in
this list cannot be built until another
