Where Ignorance Is Bliss.

A funny story is being told of two
French noblemen and a fayorite sing
er. The Frenchmen were suitors of
the lady, and both seemed to be equal
ly esteemed by her. It appears that in
France, as we'll as in many other coun-
tries, a lock of hair is considered sig
nal of tender passion. Mile. B
glories in the possession of auburn
ringlets, and would not part with one
of them for less than duchy.
Her admirers, however, happened to
have hair of the same golden hue as
that of their conjoint love. Each
begged tress of her hair in exchange
for lock of his own, to which the
charming creature readily assented
and, without touching a single hair of
her head, cunningly managed to effect
change of parcels, by which each
gentleman received a curl of his rivals
capillaries. The count now wears the
baron's hair next his heart, and the
baron sleeps with the counts lock I'm.

Fashion Notes.

The Monte Carlo coats continue to
be well liked, and they are dressy.
But for the rough stuffs the two piece
blouse suit is the best style. Hats
seem to have grown datter than ever,
but somehow they all manage to re-
main quite as becoming as ever.
Toques of dress material are undenia
bly, stylish and not so very econom
ical as one might think, for though
the body of the hat is made Of the
pieces Of stuff left over it requires a
master hand to make toQue look well,
and some fine trimming must be found
to go on, though probably it will look
as though it did not cost much. Still
the toque has reason to be, and that
is that whole suit Of anything is the
vogue. One toque was made Of nuh
cloth as to crown and brim, though this
last was almost hidden under thick
wreath Of velvet autumn leaves. The
effect was rich and seasonable.

White is the one great fad Of the
season, and the fad demands that the
gown. cloak or wrap shall be of fine
broadcIoth covered with rich and heavy
lace, this either dead white or cream.
String and ecru are also employed
where the shade OF the gown makes
them suitable On light gray the ecru
lace shows beautifully, and the string
color also finds its proper place. All
mat white lace and gowns are also seen
sometimes, but the beauty of the lace is
not shown so well as where there is
slight difference in the shade. The NeN,
York horse show presented to us the
fashion of wearing white in every case
where it can be worn, and 1t is now
used in 1.any places for which it is
manifestly unsuitable. Many women
on the street seem so overdressed and
conspicuous that they look positively
vulgar.

Captain John Lamb, who represents
the Richmond district in congress, will
deliver a lecture at Williamsburg Mon
day night on the battle Of Malvern
Hill. Captain Lamb has become IA
nous on this subject through his de
Tense of General Magruder from the
charge that ne was responsible for the
slaughter of Confederate troops in that
engagement.
Captain Lamb at the time of the bat
tie was orderly sergeant attached to
the staff of General Magruder. The
night after the battle he was in Ma
gruder's tent when General Lee came
in. The latter demanded to know why
General Magruder had ordered his
men to charge when inevitable de
feat and disaster awaited them.
General Lee" Magruder answered
Il charged because you three times or
dered me to. | was not able to get my
men ready Cor the charge when you
gave the order the first and second
times, but when you gave the order a
third time, We started"
General Lee, says Captain Lamb, ad.
mitted that this was true, and it was
not until recent years that General
Magruder has been charged with re
sponsibility for the disaster. Captain
Lamb is the only man now living who
has personal knowledge of the meeting
between Lee and Magruder the night
after the battle Washington Post.

HOW to Renovate Chairs.

To renoyate willow or rattan chairs
that have become soiled with age and
use wash off every bit of dust in all
the interstices and with a soft, long
haired brush tint the entire surface
with oak green stain, sienna or sienna
and vandyke brown. This must be
done with great care so as to cover ev-
cry particle Of the surface. This treat
ment is suitable for willow because it
will take stain, but rattan, which is
less porous requires to be painted or
enameIed. Whether stain or paint is
used, varnish heightens the luster.

The State Board of Control has de-
cided to ask the coming Legislature
for an appropriation of $28O,0O0 for
new buildings and improvements and
additions to the different State penal
and charitable institutions. The sum
of 100000 is to be expended in erect
ing a new asylum for the violent in
sane. The board has long desired
suck an asylum and two years ago
recommended that it be provided by
the Legislature, but owing to other
more pressing demands the appropria-
ton was not made. The board in it's
biennial report to the Governor rec
ommends that the Legislature be urged
to make the necessary appropriation.
During the performance of "The

the supposed bluuder of Mrs. Mala-

Shakespeare, Comparisons are Odor-

laughed and cheered, and it is probable
that the author of the play is equally
In error, believing the correct quota
ton to be Comparisons are odious.''
The fact is, however, that the intended
misrepresentation of the word "odor-
Gus" made the quotation correct. Mrs.
Malaprop used the identical words OF

Barkeepers of KenOsha Meet and De
eide to Form a Union Affiliated
With Trades and Labor Council.
DEMAND FOR SHORTER HOURS
Men Behind Bars Are Now Being Forced
Hours and Change is Demanded.

In the future "The Union Highball, !"
"The Federated Cocktail'' and "The
Walking Delegate Punch" will be the
popular drinks served over the bars of
Kenosha saloons, for Thursday night
twenty-five of the barkeepers in the
city who have tired of long hours and
overtime work met at the Trades and
Labor Council hall and took the first
steps in the organiza ton of the Bar
tenders Union Of Kenosha. The new
union is especially formed for the bar
tenders and it is not open to the pro,
prietors of saloons Or breweries. It is
purely trade organization organized
IN connection with the Federated
Trades and Labor Unions for the con-
cocters of drinks.
For some time an organizer of the
National Union has been in Kenosha
and he has been very successful in Sc
curing members of the new Kenosha
Chapter. For some time the bartend-
ers in the city have had no agreement
in regard to working hours and often
they are forced to work from fifteen to
eighteen hours and it is claimed that
on some occasions the hours have been
even longer. The first slogan of the
new union will be: "More Bartenders
and Shorter Hours" aud the saloon
man that fails to meet this demand
will probably find that his place is no
longer favorite with the union men
of the city.
The new Kenosha union will be
formally launched at the meeting of
the bartenders to be held on next
Tuesday evening. The regulations
governing the Kenosha branch will
not be the stereotyped regu1a tions sent
out by the National organization but a
special code will be formed to meet the
conditions in this city. The main
reason for the formation of the union
is to secure some better hours for the
workmen and to form a strong organi-
cation which will make it possible for
the bartendcrs to enforce these de-
mands.
It is possible that the organization
of the union will aid quite little in
securing better agreement among
the saloon men ia regard to early
closing.
Nearly all the bartenders in the city
have signifed a willingness to go into
the organization and the union card
will be prominent in the saloons. The
temporary officers of the Kenosha
Chapter of the union as elected last
night are as follows:
President-N. e. Carr.
Vice president-John Mayo.
SeCretary-Frank Blau.
Financial secretary-Charles Miller.
Treasurer-Fred Smith.

how to Sleep Comfortably.

M. A. Faret, French scientist, has
undertaken to teach US how to sleep,
says the New York American He has
experimental scientifically in the art
of sleeping comfortably. AS result
he advises the abolition of the pillow
and the bolster. The only natural po-
sition for one to assume while sleeping
is the horizontal. First one must get
used to sleeping without a bolster. The
next step, he says, is to remove the pill
low, for not until then will the circu-
lation of the blood be as free as it
should be. In further explanation he
says that the pillow and bolster keep
the head and neck at an abnormal an
gle and that consequently the sleeper's
entire body remains during the night
in an uncomfortable position, and one
which impedes the free course Of the
blood through the vessels and organs.

district attorney has stated that the
sheriff can be compelled to file an

OFFERS TO SETTLE.
Dagenbach Creditors VIII Receive Twenty
Cents on the Dollar.

The creditors of Williams Dagen-
bach Of this city, who was recently
adjudged a bankrupt in the United
States court in Milwaukee, held their
first meeting on Friday afternoon in
the United States court room in Mil
wakee, and as an outcome of the meet
ing it is proba5l that the creditors of
the bankrupt will have chance to
settle with the receiver at the rate of
20 cents on the dollar.
The Kenosha Trust company was
appointed a receiver for Mr.. Dagen-
bach at the meeting and the work of
settling up the business will be started
at once. Mr.. Dagenbach has formally
offered to pay the creditors 20 per cent
of their claims and notice has been
sent out to this effect. 1t is very prob
able that the offer will be accepted and
the entire matter will be closed up in a
short time.
This offer will allow Mr.. Dagenbach
to settle with all the unpreferred credi-
tors for the sum of 81, 900. AT the time
of the fling of the petition In bank
ruptcy the liabilities were scheduled at
$14 900, but it is learned that So 900 of
this amount is preferred claims secured
by mortgages on the property of Mr..
Dagenbach. The property is of suffi-
cient value to insure the payment of
these claims in full. AS the building
is practically the only asset the other
creditors will receive more than had
been expected through the voluntary
offer of Mr.. Dsgenbach.
The .Kenosha Trust company took
charge of the property as receiver to-
day and will hold it pending the
arrangement of the settlement on the
plan proposed.
