VETERAN MIL wAuKEE EDITOR DEAD.

William e. Cramer, aged SO, editor
In chief of the Evening Wisconsin OF

half a century one of the leading fig

had been in the editorial harness con-

Milwaukee, until his death, although
for over forty years he was almost
blind.
Mr.. Cramer was the last of the old

directed the policy Of the Wisconsin,
going to the Office every day. Though
sadly handicapped by blindness and
defective hearing, he kept closely In

The portrait Of a landscape may re-
produce the sentiment which attracts
to the country side-the love Of the
painter for 1t, the attachment Of those
who live In 1t, what 1t Is to them as
part Of their lives. Such a landscape
is In a measure ideal. The modern
French have coined a phrase for it
paysage tnt1me-for which I can find
no better translation than "the we'll
known, well-loyed country side" They
coined 1t to describe the kind Of land
scape that was painted by Rousseau,
Dupre, Corot, and some other French
artists. who made their headquarters
at the little village of Barbfzon on the
borders of the forest Of Fontainebleau:
and these men were followers Of Hob

GEN. ROSECRANs. earlier career.
His work during the war continued
to be that Of active organization, for
which he seemed to be admirably
adapted. He succeeded, however,
equally as we'll in the conduct Of bat
ties themselves, as was evidenced by
his work In middle Tennessee against
Bragg. After the battle Of Murfrees
boro, on Dec. 80, 1862, Rosecrans
forced Bragg to give up all the posi-
tons that he had held in middle Ten
nessee and to retire from practically
impregnable Chattanooga to the other
side Of the Ch1ckamauga There took
place the famous battle that resulted
in a nominal Confederate victory, but
that was in reality a success for Rose
Grams, as the Northern forces still held
the strategic point, Chattanooga itself,
Another service of Gen. Rosecrans
that has been held by many to be
greater than his war deeds is the bond
that by dint Of patient work he estab-
lished between this country and Mex
leo, doing more than any other man to
change the attitude Of our neighbor re-
public toward us.

The events In connection with his
progress are curiously recalled by the

Adoo has just reversed the process.
Another well-known incumbent of the
Office Of Assistant Secretary is Charles

The Assistant Secretary Of the Navy
is entitled by the regulations to Ger

fetal visit. For example, when he Wis

officers of the vessel assemble in dress

The marines are paraded and the crew

able that he has exceeded this by
many thousands of miles, for in his
fifty years on the Atlantic the steam
ers on which he sailed were not con-
fined to any particular route. The
greater part of the time he sailed be-
tween New York and Liverpool, and
the routes between these points vary
from 1900 to 5000 miles or more The
distance between Boston and Liverpool
Is not as great, but there are times
when these steamers take routes long
er than those sailing from New York.
So that in the case of man who has
sailed the Atlantic for more than fifty
years, and crossed it 835 times, a few
thousand miles does not cut so much
Of figure
Making the most conservative esti-
mate, DR.. Brice has sailed enough
miles to take him around the earth
about ninety times. The longest
distance around is at the equator the
circumference of the earth at this
point being about 24,S99 miles. AS
Stunning that on each Of his trips across
the Atlantic Dr. Brice Travelled 1890
miles, he could have gone around the
earth ON times.

1847 he went to Milwaukee on the in

The 100 manageable young wome1

The 100 manageable young women
who drew homesteads on the Rosebud
Indian reservation in South Dakota
are in no haste to marry. They don't
have to be. They know that woman
with 100 acres can marry any time,
and they are resolved to wait until
the right suitors come along. They
have organized and announce to the
10000 men from whom they have re-
ceiyed proposals that the only way to
get into their favor is to work into it.
They are not to be won by soft words.
Good clothes, white hands, handsome
face, parlor manners will not do. The
girls invite their admirers to come
out and show what they can do in the
blowing, sowing and harvesting line.
Suitors who prove by one or two sea
sons work that they are not lazy and
know how to tend horses, cultivate
corn, and pitch to a thrashing machine
will stand a chance Of getting bride
and farm. These young women are
wise in their day and generation.
Their plan, adapted to varying cir
cumstances, would be a good one for
others to adopt. The city young wom-
an can seldom put her young man
through his business or professional
PAGES to see whether he Is desirable.
The next best thing is to demand
