RECEPTION Is FIRST HELD
Amusing Incident in Which the sleurhs
Were Prominent.

The president was first taken to the
restaurant reception room and there
met many old friends with whom he
shook hands. At $50 p. m, the presi-
dent left the reception room, and es-
corted by Braun descended to the base
ment and past the little bar into the
cafe. He stood for several mintes ait
his place at the centre Of the head
table gazing upon the elaborate dec
grafton. The ceiling, the walls and
the pillars were completely covered
with evergreens, and this background
was relieved by flags and shields. Red
carnations were arranged in profusion
along the front Of the PRESIDENT table
which extended across one side Of the
room.
The president sat at the right Of
Baur, the president Of the club, and
other guests at this table were Gen.

Senate and House i'm Brief.

Washington, Feb. Is. The senate
passed the agricultural appropriation
bill and began consideration of the bill
making appropriations for the District
of Columbia. The regular three hours
was given to the trial Of the impeach-
ment charges against Judge Charles
-Swayne, and an executive session was
held.
In the house Sullivan of Massachu-
setts made a statement admitting that
he and his father had been convicted
OF manslaughter, but stated that he
walked out of court a free man, be
ing only technically guilty and his
father was pardoned after eighteen
months, new evidence showing that the
man had fallen down stairs the day
after Sullivan's father had trouble
with him. The naval appropriation bill
was considered without action.

GETS STATE CHARTER,
Milwaukee and State Line Rail.
way Company File Articles
Of incorporation.
COMPANY STATES ITS pr ANS,

The Milwaukee and State Line Rail-
way Company filed articles of incor-
poration at Madison Tuesday. The
articles are similar to those which
were filed in Illinois a short time ago
for the Incorporation of the Lake
Ia3luff and State Line road. The in
sorporators of the Wisconsin company
are all employees of the Chicago and
Moth Western Railway company and
the eeapital stock of the new company
is placed at ten thousand dollars.
In the articles of incorporation it is
stated chat it is the purpose of the
company, 70 build steam railway for
the carrying of passengers and
freight in sthe different counties of
Wisconsin sbut more particularly
through the counties Of Racine, Ke-
nosha and Milwaukee.
The articles do not state that the
company is in any way connected
with the Northwestern but to all in
tents and purposes the company is an
independent corporation.
The company plans to do business
under the regular state railway law
and in this way will pay only license
to the state and not taxes in the
different counties through which the
line is supposed to pass.
The fact that the company has Sc
cured charter from Wisconsin gives
evidence that it means busiress and
that the company is planning to build
this line from the state line to Mil
waukee just as soon as weather con-
ditions will permit. The agents of
the North Western in this city claim
that they know absolutely nothing of
the plans for the proposed road and
they seem to scout the idea that il is
to be part of the North Western
system.

WOLF STORY IS IN SEASON
Hans Peterson Has One That Is Pretty
Good and the Joke IL on
tho Wo1f

Darien, Wis, Feb. 15.--Hans Peter
son, a farmer of Walworth county,
conceived an original way of escaping
from a pack of wolves that gave him
chase and freed him within half a
mile of his home. Peterson took some
matches from box that he carried in
his pocket and after several attempts
he succeeded in dropping a lighted
one on the back Of a big animal that
was determined to climb after him.,
The woolly back Of the animal took
fire, causing him to howl with pain
and fright. In his rage he made for
the timber, followed by the whole
pack. Peterson was then able to make
tracks for his house.

"A SOCIALISTIC FALI1ACY.

Like good many other pseudo
PHILOSOPHERS, socialism embraces doc
Itrines which look p1ausiblesin theory
but which are likely to encounter OBJ
stacles in practice. This, of course
does not necessarily confute the the
DRY, but it certainly does excite
doubt as to the ultimate triumph OF
the theory in practice.
One Raymond Temple, for instance,
lays great emphasis upon what he as
serts to be the fundamental principle
OF socialism that "al kinds of labor
are equally necessary, and therefore
all should be paid alike Upon this
he bases the case for socialism.
Something may be said for the
proposition as an abstraction. 1t may
be admitted that the railroad section
hand is as essential to the economy of
the railroad system as the railroad
president is. The railroad could not
operate without him. According to
Mr.. Temple, therefore, the section
hand should get as high wages as the
president gets-or, rather, the presi-
dent should get as low wages as the
section hand gets, since socialism is
1eve1er rather than an e1evating phil
osophy.
Admitting, for the purposes of the
discussion, that the section man and
the president should be put upon the
sar1e level as to remuneration, is it
conceivable that the president would
care to continue as president at sec
ton mans wages? Under this dead
level system of treating du1lard and
genius alike, would the genius con-
tinue to exercise his powers, would
the man Of intellect and ability care
to strain his energies to the utmost
when the best he could hope for would
be exactly the same wage accorded to
the densest, stupidest b1ockhead in
the socia1istic State?
Socialism may reply that the state
will assign men to the duties for
which they are best fitted, but the old
saying about leading horse to water
and making him drink is obviously
pertinent. The state may assign a
man worth $4,000 per year to work at
5000 per year, but the man will do 5000
worth Of work not $50, 600 worth.
Destroy the incentive to good work
by taking away the prospect OF ade-
quate remuneration and men will dc
just as little as they possibly can fol-
inadequate remuneration. This may
not be elevated morality, but it is hu-
man nature, and all the abstractions
and speculations of socia1istic philos
ophers will rot avail to change its-
lChicago Chronicle.

DURING the severe cold weather OF
the past thirty days large number OF
complaints have been registered OF
cruelty to horses left standing ia the
cold with nothing on them but a cold
harness, which increased their dis
comfort, Some complaints have conae
in from reliable sources against the
men hauling coal for some of the coal
dealers in this city. Without doubt
the majority of cases of cruelty to
animals is caused by thoughtlessness
or care1essness, but nevertheless the
animals suffer just as much as though
it were done intentionally. If a
horse, for instance, is obliged to
stand while load of coal is being I'M
loaded, with nothing over him, very
often from necessity facing a strong
wind, and the thermometer ranging
from 10 to 20 degrees below zero, he is
going to suffer, and the owrer OF
driver should be compelled to furnish
blankets and use them. Doctors and
others are daily making complaints to
the police, but what is needed is a
branch Of the state society for the
prevention of cruelty to animals. How
long before we are to have one in Ke-

business men to do twice as much

THE Council should see to it that a
general auditing of ali the accounts
of the city extending back for period
of at least FIVE years is made at the
time the new set of books is opened.
1t will be a monumental job, but the
work should be done. In the future,
under the new system, separate &C
count is to be kept with each fund,
but before we start in on this system
the first thing to do is to ascertain
lust how each fund stands at present
with the city, and if there is any bal
ance due to any fund, to ascertain, If
possible, what became of the money.
Hereafter, if the present good reso1u-
tions of the council are faithfully
carried out, money appropriated to a
fund will remain on deposit to the
credit of that fund until it is used for
the purpose for which twas set aside,
and money so set aside cannot be di-
verified from it's own fund for any other
purpose whatever. But unless the mat
ter is settled now, once and for all, by
writing off all indebtedness of the city
to its different departments, like fire,
police, pauper, etc, and giving each
fresh start on the city's books, with
the estimate made for it in the last
tax levy, continual claims will be
made on the city for back payments
on account of old appropriations

THE appointment OF Paul Mortou
to place in the cabinet was one OF
the few mistakes of the Roosevelt adj
ministration, but it is mistake that
can be recti6ed. If Mr.. Morton does
not see fit to tender his resignation
the president should ask for it. The
case of Mr.. Morton bears out the truth
of the presidents declaration that the
first essential in dealing with the
great public service corporations is
publicity. The further the dealings
of the great corporations, with which
Mr.. Morton was connected, are inyes-

NEXT SUNDAYS PLAY.
David Belasco's Famous Play "The
Heart of Maryland"

The attraction at the Rhode opera
house next Sunday will be David
Be1asco's famous and ever popular
drama of love and war, "The Heart of
Maryland, and it will doubtless at
tract it's full share of the attention and
favor of our theatre patrons. The
thrilling and in fact eliminating
scene in the be1fry of the old colonial
church tower with the heroine's des-
perate leap to prevent the bell from
ringing out the escape of her lover
who was sentenced to death as a spy,
is one of the most effective examples
of dramatic realism now upon the
stage. The cast, it is claimed, is 10
the keeping of an adequate company
of well known players.
