Holstein- Freisian cattle held at SYRIA
cuse, New York, 157 animals brought

One cow selling for 81 300. The sale
was conducted by the Holstein- Freisian
Association and the cattle disposed
of were from many parts nf the
country, some being from the hero of
S. B. Jones & Son of Bustisford,
who probably have the largest and
finest herd of Holstein- Freisian cattle
and have established a reputation Of
producing the best. One of the herd
sold at Syracuse, they sold as calf
and bought her back, paying $500 for
the animal which demonstrated their
anxiety to have only such as they can
recommend. 1t will be remembered
that in recent article in The
Leader, attention was called to the
fact that S. B. Jones & Son sold
several head out of their superb herd
to a japanese gentleman at good
round figure to be shipped to that
PARKWAY country and they only want
the best breeds and are willing to
pay good price for the same.

STEAL FLOWERS FROM
LOCAL CEMETERIES
Carried Away BY VdnddlS
Destitute of Every Sense
Of Honesty.

Complaint is being made by the
agrieved parties, that the flowers and
decorations upon the graves in the
cemeteries in this city are being
stolen and carried away by vandals
destitute of every sense of honesty
and decency. 1t hardly seems pos
sible, that there are people in Water
town so lost to an emotion of shame
as to enter a cemetery and ghoul like
steal from graves the flowers. placed
by sorrowing relatives upon the rest
ing place of their departed loved
ones. Such parties ought to be appre-
hended and an example made of them,
that the practice may be discontinued.
80 heaven, that such companions
thou tdst unfold
And put in evary honest hand
whip
To lash the rascalG naked through
the world"

At the time Prof. Daniel Protheroe
resigned as director of the Apollo
club, The Leader not only mentioned
the fact. but also that it was the iu-
Uention of the professor to leave Mil
waukee to go to Chicago to reside and
continue in the practice of his profess
sion. That was the reason he gave
for resigning as director of the To-
cal musical club. The following from
the Milwaukee Daily News of last
evening, concerning Prof. Protheroe,
will be of interest to many of the
readers of The Leader:
"DanieI Protheroe, director of the
Arion Musical club, and for many
years one of the leading musicians of
the city, is preparing to move to Chi
cago. For the past two years, Mr..
Protheroe' s musical interests in Chica-
go have been gaming gradually,
while he allowed his Milwaukee mus
zeal activities to decrease. He has
spent several days OF each week
teaching and directing IN Chicago.
At the close of the approaching vaca-
ton season he will be permanently es-
tablIshed in that city, and will then
devote Monday of each week to his
Milwaukee work.
"The Protheroe home is at 593
Maryland avenue, but Mr.. Protheroe
expects to move his family to Chicago
early in September.
"Mr. Protheroe will continue as
director of the ArIon Musical club,
to which position he was reelected a
week ago. He will direct the clubs
rehearsals Monday evening, as hereto
fore
"During Mr.. Protheroe's musical
career IN this city more great singers
have sung at his concerts than at
those of any other concerts than at
those of any other director. The list
includes Nine. Lillian Nordica, Nine
Nellie Melba, Nine. Emma Games,
Jean de Reszke, Nine Schumann-
Heink, and other musical luminaries
of greater or less prominence.
During past few years Mr.. Proth

Keeping Down Losses.

The establishment of the offics of
state fire marshal by the last legis-
lature is b ing demonstrated to be
adv ambiguous to the fire insurance
companies in keeping down losses. 1t
is said that the companies, who main
tain the department in the payment
of q percentage of their premium
receipts, are willing to increase
their payments so that the efficiency
of the department may be enlarged by
the employment of more local inspec
tors. A bill to accomplish this result
will doubtless be introduced in the
next legislature and it is said that it
will be supported by the insurance
companies.
