seems undated and his political sagacty
is not impaired. In an interview the
senator said he considered the insertion
of the gold plank in the republican plat
form in 1896 through his own efforts ont
of his greatest accomplishments and on,
that, next to his twice repeated re-elec
ton to the United States senate. linger'
most pleasantly in his memory Mr.
Plat says he is not out of politics by
great deal, although he has frequently
been on the point of retiring. but "abou
those times someone would try to pusf
me out or kick me out and then I woule
come back and fight"
The report comes from Rome that Mas
cagni, erstwhile of attachment fame, i;
now aspiring to dramatic lanrels. lie has
written a three-act comedy which viii
be put on the stage in October. A Roman
paper has the following remarks on the
composer: Composer. leader. newspaper
man. lecturer. professor and conserva-
tory director without a job. likewise
playwright. Mascagni would hop around
st. Peters on one leg if he could get an
audience" Not complimentary, certainly,
but there are some people in this coun-
try who We're not too favorably impressed
with the fervid italian on the occasion of
his recent trip to America and hts tr-
umphal tour which eliminated in farce.
Mascagni has enough of America. He has
no use for a country where genius is ex-
pected to pay filthy debts just like the
common herd of mortals. The indignant
musician was SO wrought up over his
fancied mistreatment in this country that
he tried to make the matter an interna-
tional affair.
The ways of genius are almost as Won
derfu as those of the politician and few
of them ever escapes having peculiari-
ties OF character that can make very dis
agreeable scenes. Even the divine Patti
has her tantrums, although she is one
of the most popular singers who ever
lived probably ranking next to Jenny
Lind.

Not Afraid of His Hands.

Alfred Wallace, the octogenarian
English scientist, who claims he can
prove the earth to be the center Of the
universe, lived in his youth in the
Moluccas. One of his neighbors in
those remote islands was an old sailor,
and Of this aged man DR.. Wallace
sometimes tells an odd story.
In certain port the sailor had been
invited to dance. He accepted the
invitation and all through the evening
he bounded in hearty and uncouth
manner through dances of every kind
But he wore no gloves, and hence, the
climate being tropical, his large moist
hands left stains on the white raiment
OF the ladies. One, little vexed,
though she would take him to task.
Don't you think, dancing so much,
you ought to wear gloyes?" she said.
"Oh, that's all right" he answered.

through. Boston Post.

Jewish People Of the City Form aeon
gregation and viii Build a Tenn
pie in the Near Future.
EIGHTEEN FAMILIES INCLUDED.
Members of Proposed Congregation Meet
and Form Organization Church May
Be Built During Coming Year.

kenosha is to have a Jewish syna-
gogue as a meeting has been held
among the Jewish people OF the city
and an organization formed which is
expected to result II me building of a
church IN TIE city before another year
passes. The officers Of the new relig
ious society are: President-Jacob
Stern; secretary, M. Bernstein; treas
ufer, Samuel Goldberg; trustees, Her
man Mendelshon and j. Stein.
For many years the Jewish popula-
tion Of Kenosha has Eeen steadily in
creasing and from twenty to thirty
Jewish families have come into the
city during the past eight or ten years.
These people have no place for church
home and many Of them have been at
tending the different Protestant
|churches in the city. NotwithstanG-
ing that fact they have remained firm
III their Jewish belief and all the fes-
rivals of the church have been closely
kept. The little flock in Kenosha has
beeu under the spiritual guidance Of
Rabbi Siegel, Of Chicago, and he has
come to Kenosha and held services on
all the festival days. The Jewish peo-
a movement for the building Of syn
agogue and the Kenosha people were
asked to unite with them but the Ke-
nosha Jews preferred to have church
of their own.
At the meeting for the formation of
the congregation there were twenty
eight heads Of families present and
eighteen of them took mem bersnip in
the congregation. There is no doubt
but that every Jew in the city will be
included in the congregation within a
few weeks. Regular services will be
held during the winter and while the
new church is being built the services
will be held at 500 Ashland avenue.
The Jewish people of the city are in
tensely loyal to their faith and there is
little doubt but that every Jewish
family in the city will find representa-
ton al these little services. For the
present no rabbi will be employed but
rabbi from one Of the Chicago syna-
gogues will come to Kenosha and have
charge of the services here.
The members of the church are en-
thusiastic over the prospects for the
future and it is thought that the new
temple of worship can be built during
the coming year. There are many
Jews in the city who are wealthy and
they have consented to give every pos
sible aid to the new church.

We EDITOR EXPLAINS.

A local preacher, at the conclusion
of one of his sermons, said: "Let all
in the house who are paying their
debts stand up" Instantly every
man, woman and child, with one ex-
ception, rose to their feet. The
preacher seated them and said "Now
every man not paying his debts stand
up" The exception noted, care
worn, hungry looking individual cloth
ed in his last summers suit, slowly
assumed perpendicular position.
How is it, my friend,' asked the
minister, "that you are the only man
who cannot meet his ob1igations?"

swered, 'and the brethren here who
just stood up are my subscribers, and

GUARD ENTRANCES TO ZION.
Mounted Young Men Watch and Stop all
Strangers Moving Toward Zion.

Mounted Young Men Watch and Stop all
Strangers Moving Toward Zion.
Every entrance to Zion City is being
guarded with greatest possible care by
mounted young men, who have orders
to stop.all suspicious looking charac-
tiers who are seen moving toward the
city.
On account of the practical deaertion
of the many places in Dowie's town
through the crusade, this means has
been adopted as protection to prop
erty, as it is feared that robbers might
think It good time to get to work, or
that somebody might try to FIRE the
town.
Every person who enters the pre-
cincts Of Zion is scrutinized closely
and if not known by the guards, is
followed until he leaves. While ordin-
arily Zion police are on close guard at
all times, no particular stations at the
several entrances to town are assign
ed the men. On account Of the alb
sence Of the regular Zion guards in
New York, young men about 10 years
Of age have been called to service to
act as pickets.

FARMERS PROTEST.
Countrymen Claim that Hunters and Nut
Gatherers Take Too Many Liberties.

Countrymen Claim that Hunters and Nut
Gatherers Take Too Many Liberties.
The farmers about the county are
talking Of taking steps to form an as
ISOLATION to protect themselves against
the raids Of the huntersland nut gath
erers who are now very numerous in
the county. The hunters have wholly
disregarded the rights Of the farmers
and fences have been torn down and
even other property destroyed. The
hunters not only go across the fields
but they invade the orchards and carry
home with them countless bushels Of
apples. Often times the protesting
farmer has been met with curses and
in one or two cases the invaders have
threatened to assault the farmers be-
cause they insisted on them leaving
the grounds.
The crop of nuts in the county is
one Of the largest on record and the
farmers are planning to gather the
nuts and realize profit from their
sale and for this reason many Of them
have protected their farms and de-
manded that the public keep off.

TELEPHONE sPoNGERs BARRED.
Kenosha Telephone Comps Nv Adopts Dras-
tic Rules at Their Annual Meeting.

Kenosha Telephone Comps ny Adopts Dras-
tic Rules at Their Annual Meeting.
The telephone sponge got cruel
body blow at the annual meeting Of
the Kenosha Telephone company's al
rectors Thursday night when the di-
rectors promulgated new rule which
will make it impossible for the para
sites to use the telephones free in the
future. Ever since the Kenosha COM
pany connected with the line Of the
Bristol company the individual leasers
Of phones have been greatly troubled
with demands for the use of the
phones.
The telephone sponge Is an original
animal and he manages to make so
many and such good excuses that he
usually manages to secure the favor
asked without cost or expense. In the
meantime the company had been los
ing large sums Of money through their
failure to collect these fees. The priv
|ilege was being abused by almost
every phone renter in the city and
hundreds of calls have been made for
which the company have received no
returns. In the future the use of the
instruments of the Kenosha company
will be limited to the reaters and the
people employed directly by the COM
panies renting them. All toll service
must pass through the Office of the
company at the undertaking rooms Of
Thomas Hansen and the manager Of
the Office will see that the stipend is
regularly paidgbefore any connections
are made.
A plan to do away with all fiat rates
and charge uniform fee of ten cents
call was discussed but it has not yet
been adopteds,by the company and for
the coming year the patrons will re.
ceive the use Of the phones for dol
lar and half month with the under
standing that the phones are not to be
used by any unauthorized persons. 1t
is probable that the company will in
stall a 'phone in the Office of the county
clerk for the use Of the county officials
and others and uniform charge of
ten cents for each call will be made.
| The reports of the officers of the
company as shown at the annual meet
| ing give good account of the com
pany for the past year and the COM
pany is making little money and
meeting all expenses promptly.
The officers of the company as re-
elected for the coming year are:
President Charles G. Brown.
, Eugene r. Head.
Treasurer-Harry B. Robinson.
General Manager Thomas Hansen
The directors are Charles C. Brown,
for one year; Henry Hastings for two
years and C. D. Holt for three years.
