OPPOSITION TO KID
SAILORS BY YACHT CLUB,

Milwaukee, Wis, Dec. 22.-The Mil
waukee Yacht Club will hold a meet
ing at the Hotel Pfister this after
noon, which promises to be unusually
lively, as some matters of consider
able importance will come up for a
decision by a vote of the members.
One of the two propositions to be
voted on is to raise the age limit for
membership from Is to 81 years. The
age limit for associate members had
been lowered to IS years some time
ago, but the plan did not work sat
isfactorily, and the faction opposed
to kid" sailors will try to bring
a return to the higher age limit. The
kid" party is quite strong and a
lively contest is expected at the cleo
tion today. The result is believed to
he doubtful.

as to the truth of the reports that
charity has large place in the tesla

fact before the public.
Now that the famous street railway
promoter and manager is dead, acts of
charity which he kept secret are de-
scribed. It has been learned that he
had more than 200 pensioners on his

Undoubtedly the general verdict
will be, when the plan of this expedi-
ton is announced. that it Is most
reckless adventure. Most people will
say that to combine the hazards of

tation for the fates to do their worst
We must expect criticism. Some of
