HAD TO PAY LICENSE.

A sale of ostrich plumes at greatly
reduced prices was to have taken place
here last Friday and Saturday in Par
lor A of the Williams House by Miss
Estella Hermann, agent for a Mr.. Ros
enbanm of Milwaukee, importer OF
plumes. Local milliners and managers
of department stores handling these
goods, got wind of the matter, and as a
result city authorities, notified the agent
to take out an itinerant peddler's license
at $25 per day. This cut into the pro
fits quite deeply, leading the agent tc
announce a sale for only Friday and an
exhibition of goods at which orders
might be taken for Saturday. 1t is said
that the display was fine one and that
many handsome plnmes will in the fu-
tnre be found in the head gear of Mani.

ands of people viewed the many
wonders.
Nothing but words of praise could he
heard from persons AZ the crowds left

ties did their acts in good fashion There
was nothing omitted from the acts that
could have been added to the skill and
dexterity of the performers Three rings

CATHOLIC FEDERATION MEETS.

The Federation of the Catholic socie
ties of the state held its annual meeting
at this city last Sunday. The meeting
was attended by representatives from
practically every city in the state and
various matters of Importance, not only
to the federation but to society in gen.
eral, were discussed and suggestions
made for the betterment of certain of
the conditions which exist at the pres
ent time.
Resolutions touching upon the social
and labor movements, divorce, prohibi
ton, parochial schools and several other
subjects were adopted at the last ses
sion of the federation on Monday morn
ing. The position of the federation and
through it Of a large body Of the Cath
olics of the state on these questions was
set forth in this resolution.
At the session on Sunday morning in
the st. Boniface School Hall sermon
on Federation was delivered by Rev.
ereni r. Steinbrecker of Kaukauna and
on Sunday evening an address was de-
livered at the Turner Hall by p. H. Mar.
tin of Green Bay. Mr.. Martin in his
address took up the subject of socialism
in reference to its opposition to the
Catholic church and to its position on
religion generally and in strong ad-
dress urged his hearers to use their best
efforts to oppose and combat the social
istic movement wherever it developed.
Mr.. Martin did not believe that social
ism would ever become strong enough
to become ruling doctrine, but thought
that its influence was such that even
though it did not grow to the strength
attained by the older parties that its
doctrines should not be allowed to -four
ish in any Christian community. In the
course of his address the speaker quoted
from various socialistic writer's to prove
the position which he assumed and up
on closing took occasion to pay his re
spects to certain of the monied class in
this country whom he denounced as be.
ing one of the principle causes of the
spread of socialism
