Sisters OF St. Mary Arrange 10 En-
large Their Present Quarters on
Lake Shore This Year.
IS LITTLE CHILDREN ARE COMING
st. Agnes Cottage to be Enlarged by the
Building New Refectories- Children
Coming on June 10,

ST. Agnes Cottage, owned by the
Sisters of St. Mary, and used by them
as a summer home for little children
taken from the s1ums of Chicago, is
to be enlarged. Plans for the enlarge
ment have been made and the carpen-
tiers will start work this week in order
to have the new building ready for
the occupancy of the children when
they come to Kenosha on June 10.
The plans of the Sisters for the an
nua1 visit to Kenosha are given out
in a statement which has been sent
to the friends of the Home in Keno
sha. The statement follows:
We are making our plans for Our
summer outing. In the cottages in
Kenosha we have accommodations for
only 65, whereas we must make pro-
vision for IS children, and it has al
ways been our custom to take
visitors, both women and children,
who otherwise would not have a ho1i-
day in the country. We are going to
extend the buildings south from ST.
Agnes cottage as far as our land will
allow, about 26 feet, and then west so
feet, which will give us new refec-
tories, kitchens and pantries on the
lower floor and above this dormitOries
and smaller rooms for caretakers and
visitors, with beautiful south and east
exposures overlooking the lake.
We have had three bath tubs given
to us which will lessen the expense of
the plumbing. The whole will cost
81, 800 and the carpenters have prom
ised to have the cottage ready for us.
We expect to go to Kenosha the
10th of June, with the exception of
few of the older girls who will remain
to take the school examinations.
Any one familiar with the Home
knows what an immense advantage it
has been to the children to spend the
summers in Kenosha 1--WE feel strongly
both morally and physically where,
for the greater part of the day they
live out of doors on the beach and in
the gardens and take long walks and
have picnics in the woods, and as the
North Western r. r. has always most
generously given us cars for the chill
dren and our freight, and our friends
and the trades people in Kenosha al
most keep our table, our expense is
not added to.
We have made plain statement of
facts and we most urgently appeal,
not for ourselves, but for the children
under our care. It would be too great
an expense to keep both houses open,
and the additions and alterations
have been made imperative by our
large family and we now ask our
friends to help us make up the cost
incurred.

-Year-0Id Boy Comes Alone
From Italy to Seek Work in the
Factories of ken0sha.
THE LOCAL COLONY ADOPTS HIM
Lad Appeals to County Judge for Permit
to Work and Manages to Convince the
Court That He Must win His Way.

Without money or an escort, Rose
marc Dominica, an Italian boy tnir-
teen years of age, has just made the
entire trip from his old home in Mon
temona to Kenosha, and on next
Monday morning he will join the
great army of workers in the factories
of kenosha. The story of the boy is
one OF sthe most unusual stories of
juvenile nerve and common sense
ever told in Kenosha, and it so APP
pea1ed to the County Judge that not
withstanding the fact that the boy
Will not be fourteen years of age until
tomorrow, he was given a permit to
earn his own living by working in
the Chicago-Kenosha Hosiery Works.
The boy reached Kenosha on Mon
day evening, and when he stepped off
the North-W Western train he did not
know soul in the city. He made the
long trip, however, on his nerve, and
sleeping in the hold Of vessels and
walking from town to town he had
become a philosopher, and the wide
stretch of platform at the Kenosha
station did not appa11 him. Hewa1ked
about the city for couple Of hours
and finally found a man who could
speak his own language. To this
man the boy told the story of his
leaving home and his trip across the
ocean, and the man took him straight
to the Italian colony. The boy lost
no time inSmaking friends and before
another day had passed the members
of the colony had decided to adopt
the boy andshe was Immediately given
new suit of clothes and home.
After the long trip the boy restedI
until this morning and. then he in
sisted that he had come to Kenosha to
earn his way in the world and that he
wanted to go to work. One of the
members of the colony laid off from
his work and took the little fellow to
the office of the County Judge.
The boys head just reached over
the top of a big desk behind which
the judge was sitting, and when the
court demanded that the little fellow
give PROOF OF MS age ne dug down IN
his pocket and produced a passport
signed by the Italian officers.
Through an interpreter he told the
court of his trip across the ocean and
of his plans to become an American
citizen. The passport showed that
the child would not be fourteen until
tomorrow, but he pleaded so hard for
the permit to work that the court f.
nally granted it, with the understand
ing that he should not begin work
until next Monday.
That the boy is made of the proper
stuff is shown by the fact that during
the voyage he spent most of his time
studying an Italian-Eng1ish primer,
and he believes in a short time he
will be able to learn the language.

IS GOING TO ROME.
Father Schieten OF New Munster, 10 be
Presented at The Vatican Court
This Summer.
TO CELEBRATE CORPUS CHRISTI.

The Rev. John H. Schiefen, the
well beloved pastor of St. A1phonse
church at New Munster, is to have an
audience with His Holiness, the Pope,
in the Vatican at Rome, during the
coming summer. He has been noti-
fed that an audience will be granted
him and he will leave KenOsha on
next Monday for New York. Two
days later he will sail for Europe, and
will spend three months among his
old friends in Germany, before going
to Rome to meet the head of the
church. Father Schiefen was little
reticent in talking Of his visit to
Rome this morning, and insisted that
he was going more for visit with
friends than for his interview with
the Pope. He insisted that there
would be no business connected with
his audience with the Pope, but that
his visit to the Vatican would be en-
tire1y of social nature.
The departure of Father Schiefen
from the quaint little German town
of New Munster, will make no differ
ence in the plans for the annual ce1e
bration of Corpus Christi Day, and
this will be arranged as usual under
the direction of priest sent to New
Munster by the archbishop. The an
nua1 celebration which is the great
est event IN the year at New Munster,
will take place week from Sunday,
and all the plans of the old German
celebration will be carried out.
The village will be wreathed in
flowers and children clad in white
dresses will march through the
streets and decorate the crosses set
up at different places, with wreathes
of flowers. 1t is expected that hun
dreds of people will journey to New
Munster to witness this pretty cere-
mony.
Before leaving for this trip abroad,
Father Schiefen will complete ali the
arrangements for the celebration.
This is the first trip that Father
Schiefen has made to his old home
since 1891.

HARBoR WORK PROGRESSING
Removal of two Cribs on Breakwater Well
Under Way.

Removal of two Cribs Breakwater Well
Under Way.
Government engineers are at work
rebuilding the breakwater at the
mouth of Racine harbor. They will
remove two cribs from the south end
of the breakwater and extend them
eastward. This it is thought will
counterfeit the undertoW now prevail
ent and remove the danger expert
enced by vessels entering the harbor.
This work is along the experimental
line and is Considered by many to be
the beginning of vast improvements
to be made in and around Root river.
It will be remembered that a short
time ago Congressman Cooper stated
that he had reason to believe that
large appropriation would soon be
made by congress for the improve
ment of Racine and Kenosha harbors
and it is these improvements that the
present work seems to indicate.-Ra-

DEATH OF AARON WALKER.
Well Known Resident of the Town of Bris-
toll Died at His Home on Wednesday,

Aaron Walker, one of the old resi-
dents of the town of Bristol, died at
his home near the village on Wednes-
day evening after short illness from
paralysis. Mr.. Walker was 90 years of
age and had the unique distinction of
having spent his entire life on the
farm where his death occurred yester-
day. He was a bachelor, but since the
death of his father, Joel Walker, he
had remained and taken charge of the
old homestead for the other members
of the family.
Mr.. Walker was man of good edu-
cation and of great ability, and for
this reason he had taken prominent
place in the town of Bristol. For years
he had suffered from the disease
known as ricketts,, and this made
the last years of his life miserable.
