a Pleasant Afternoon Discussing
Life Of The Famous Soldier.
MRS. EMMA SMYTHE THE ESSAYIST

England and Napoleon" was the
subject of very interesting paper
read before the Kenosha Woma n IS
club on Wednesday afternoon by Mrs.
Emma Smythe and the ladies of the
club spent very pleasant evening in
discussing the life of the famous war
rior and statesman. In her discussion
OF the Little Corporal Mrs. Smythe
told IN charming manner the story
OF the first emperor, tracing his lie
from Corsica to ST. Helena. In dis.
cussing his relations with the English
people Mrs. Smythe paid a compliment
to the English warrior and found in
Wellington and his associates the only
body Of men that could have stopped
the advance of the all conquering hero.
She told the story of Waterloo" and
brought out many incidents of the bat
ties which have not been a part of the
usual histories.
In the discussion which followed the
paper and whichs was lead by Mrs.
Harry Skinkle the interesting mem-
bers of the English and French courts
were discussed. Wellington, Pitt,
Nelson, Josephine and EMarie Louisa
all furnished fund of interesting
matter for the ladies and brought out
more forcibly this most interesting
historical period in the records of the
French and English, people. Those
who took part in the discussion were
Mesdames Cheever, Theirs, Lyman
and Whitaker. The evening was
closed by the Rev. Florence Buck who
read Tennyson's splendid ode writer
In honor of Wellington.

~ decorated for the occasion and in
one corner had been placed great
French flag over which hung the pic
ture of Napoleon, while in the other

and picture of Wellington. Between
the two was hung faithful reproduce

Committee Appointed by Park Ave. M. e.
Church Recommends Few Changes.
By some Misunderstanding the re-
port has gone out that Park Avenue
NJ. E. church has been examined by
the city authorities and condemned.
This is not the case. The Eprecaution
was taken by the trustees Of the church
themselves. A committee consisting
of D. J. Harff, Thos. Holderness, J. K.
Balloon and Frank Symmonds was ap-
pointed to make the examination.
They report the auditorium floor per-
fectly safe except at the east end where
they recommend that an additional
support be placed under the girder near
the pipe organ. They also recommend
that steel rods be put in at places d.
rectly under the trusses to secure the
high roof against all danger from wind
storms. These changes are now being
made and it is expected that they will
be completed before the Sabbath. The
building will then be as safe as any in
the city. The trustees have ordered
that aisles be kept free from chairs
and that all doors be uubolted when an
audience is III the building. The
aisles, halls and doors are wide. Doors
open outward. Windows are near the
ground and sashes may be pushed up
ward. If necessary the building could
be emptied in very few seconds with
out danger TO life.

1t | We're to advise the opopsition.. /
should recommend the readoption of
the resolution passed in 1882. at the
first democratic national convention.
1t reads as follows:
Resolved, That it be recommended to
the several delegations in this conven-
ton that in place of a general address
from this body, each delegation make
such declaration, by address, report. or
otherwise, to their respective constitu-
ents, OF he objects, proceedings. and
result of this meeting as it may deem
expedient.
Under the resolution the campaign
can be localized. The manufacturers
OF New England can be promised free
raw material and the producers of iron
in Michigan can be promised a protec-
tive tariff on ore. and farmers of the
northwest a tariff on wool and hides.
The millers of Minneapolis can be as
sured cheap wheat from Canada. and
the farmers can be consoled with the
promise that their markets shall not
be disturbed.
The last democratic state platform
IN Massachusetts declaring in favor of
the retention of the fourteenth and fif-
teenth amendments, can be made to do
good service in New England; Mary
land can be carried on the strength of
recent utterances of the democratic
senator from that state. that the eau
casion race must govern; while Mis-
sissippi can be made stronger than
ever by reiterating the speeches of
their newly inaugurated governor, that
education demoraizes and criminal
ICES the negro. From his platform
the discontinued everywhere could be
appealed to in terms they will under
stand. High priced Wheat and high
priced cattle for the farmer, and cheap
meat and cheaper bread for the labor
er, would no longer possess seeming
inconsistency.
If the issue were to be candidates,
there would be no campaign. The ad ;
ministration of the last seven years has
been progressive; it has been honor
able; il has been wise; it has been
consistent, and it has been clean. The
present chief executive is the embodi-
ment of all that is American, and the
people revere him; he has defended
their every interest, and the people
honor him; he has taken them into his
every confidence and the people love
