THE WOMAN'S CLUB
Regular Fortnightly Meeting of Club
Held on Wednesday Afternoon

An unusually interesting session of
the Woman s Club was held at their
club rooms yesterday afternoon. After
two musical selections by Mrs. Good
friend, consisting of "Papillon'' by
Grieg and Etude Mignonne by
Schuebt, the essayist of the day, Mrs.
Bulah NJ Adams, read a very instrue-
tive and delightful paper on "Success-
ful American Playwrights. " Beginning
with the first playwright, Royal Tyler.
who wrote "The Contrast, = produced
IN New York in 1888, the paper traced
the development of American playwrit
ing through to the present day, dwelling
especially upon the works of the four
masters, so-called, William Gillette.
Clyde Fitch, Augustus Thomas, and
David Balasco. Besides touching upon
the lives, characters and characteristics
Of the several playwrights, their sue
cessful plays were dwelt upon, and the
important features Of them clearly
brought out
No small part OF the afternoon was
furnished by Miss Perdita Dewey who
read in most charming manner
Richard Harding Davis H'Miss Civil
zation.'' Miss Dewey is fast winning
her way into the favor of the Kenosha
people by her artistic recitals.

HAHMAN SLOW TO ACCEPT
Peter Schmitt Challenges New State
Champion for Return Match

John J. Hahman, the new state pool
champion, seems to desire to hang on
to his laurels as long as possible as
he is making a strong effort to keep
away from another meeting with Peter
Schmitt Of this city Schmitt has sent
to Hahman's manager formal chal-
lenge to play for the state honor, but
it is found that the Milwaukee man is
so busy writing for autographs or
something else that he can find no time
to meet the Kenosha man. Schmitt
suggested three nights match to be
played the latter part Of this month,
but Hahman has not been able to see
it that way. Schmitt is ready and will
ing to go after the new champion any
place he sees fit to arrange the match
but there is little reason to believe that
Hahman will risk his title with the
Kenosha man until he has made little
money out of it. If Hahman continues
to decline to play Schmitt will issue a
formal challenge to him through all
the Milwaukee papers.

GETS GRANT RELIC
George Hale of This City Gets Cane
Made From Grants Bench

George Hale of this city has been
presented with relic which will be Of
greatest interest to the men in Keno
sha who took part in the war of the
rebellion. The relic is a cane made
from the work bench formerly used by
General U. S. Grant. Years ago Gener-
al Grant lived at Galena, H., and while
there he engaged in business as har-
ness maker. After the war when the
general was elected president the old
shop was closed and the people of
Galena managed to divide the things in
the shop E. W. Montgomery secured
a part of the work bench which had
been used by the general and from this
he had cane made. The cane was
one of the things rescued from the
Montgomery home when it was de-
stroyed by fire few days ago and Mr..
Montgomery at once sent it to Captain

THREE PER CENT DIVIDEND
Members of the A. o. u. w. Receive
Third Disbursement

Members of the old Ancient Order Of
United Workmen in this city have re-
ceived notice that creditors of the bank
rupt organization will receive an adj
ditional dividend Of per cent on their
claims, the total amount to be paid out
being about $4,000 This is the third
dividend of 3 per cent which has been
declared in this state. Not so many
years ago the Ancient Order of United
Workmen was considered one of the
strongest fraternal societies in the
state and the insurance rate very cheap.
Later on it was discovered that the
assessments were not sufficient to pay
the death certificates and that the order
was hopelesslly involved. It was then
that it was declared bankrupt. The
membership in this city was over one
hundred, but it went down to less than
twenty-five. The members who remain
ed in to a finish, were called upon to
pay assessments in order to liquidate
the obligation and the dividends are be-
ing paid from this money.

FOR EVEN PRESSURE
Kenosha Gas and Electric Company
Putting in High Pressure Main

In order to secure an even pressure
in the supply Of gas to all parts of the
city the Kenosha Gas and Electric
Company has begun work in installing a
high pressure main on Ashland avenue.
The main will lead from the plant at
the corner of Grand and Ashland aven-
ues and go to the extreme south limit
Of the city. It will be six inch main
and it is designed to bring an even
pressure on the mains at all times.
Regulation stations will be put in at
different points and all Of these sta
tions will work automatically. It is
claimed that the main will not be used
more than two hours in the twenty four
but that it will insure an even pressure
at all times regardless of conditions.
The improvement will represent an ex-
penditure by the company Of from ten
to fifteen thousand dollars.

The evidence in the suit of the prop
ty owners on Elizabeth street against
the Kenosha Electric Railway Company

sonable in granting the company the
right to lay a double track on the
street Judge Belden stated that he
would be ready to file his decision in
the case in a short time after the briefs
were filed.

A STATE PARK AT THE DELLs

The dells of the Wisconsin river, near
Kilbourn city, have long been consider
ed one of the beauty spots of the state.
There has been a good deal Of talk Of
late about their beauty being destroy
ed by the rebuilding Of the water
power. But their beauty remains and
should be preserved from destruction.
The state park board believes that the
state should procure, through gift or
purchase, enough land in the vicinity of
the dells to make an attractive public
park to be maintained for all time as a
free public resort. The subject will
come up at the next session Of the
legislature.

THE RELIGIOUS KISSING BUG.

Rev. j. w. lleddin. authorized and ac-
credited as an inspired agent of the Holy
Ghosters" has set fashionable Denver to
grasping for breath because of his nsistence
upon strictly constituting the biblical in
junction to greet one another with a kiss"
and indulging in an osculatory demonstration
upon the lips of feminine beauty as they
became converts to his cause. The men of
Denver interposed an objection, it is said and
made it known with much persuasive force,
that Mr.. Iliddn flew for other and unknown
parts

eight times day with unfailing regularity,
route, through Japan, he happened to meet
up with an English missionary, DR.. Cham
erette, who reading bible. The prince
with unsound mind requested a loan of the
book, which he read. and announcing himself
converted to Christianity, proclaimed him
self Esu the Mohammedan name for Jesus,
fact, which, he declared, he had learned
from its pages This was Immediately ac-
ceptcd as further manifestations of an un-
sound mind showing indsputabe con
nection between extreme, fanatical piety and
insanity. His Mohammedan escort refuse to
believe his alleged conversion and are rushing
him on to Europe in the hope of effectng a
cure before it is everlasting too late The
story of his conversion, however. is sadly
as allied by the fact that while on board ship
crossing the Pacific, he saw and loved the
daughter of the Austrian ambassador. This
was after he had been converted Seeing her
was enough. Despite the fact that he had
just lett three hundred wives in his native
land, he proposed to the Austrian girl on the
spot and asked for an immediate answer
Apologies were demanded and made but the
gay bunch of royalty felt he was it and con
tinued his journey in peace.
Iove-makng and religion are thus given
as evidences of insanity. We cannot blame
the prince for falling ir love with a pretty
woman. for every son of Adam is very apt
to initiate his example. Neither do we blame
him for announcing himself to be Jesus
Christ, for it, as we are informed he had
studied the bible, he saw the graft that was in
the game and resolved to play it for all it
was worth. The trouble with him is that
his conversion happened at wrong time,
in day and age when such things are not
so eagerly devoured by the multitude The
manifestations thus given of an unsound
mind offer a new suggestion. Whereas
some people have been inclined to look upon
the claims of Jesus spiritual king to be
impositions, it would be milder description
to say they were simply the rawlings of
person with an un'ound mind.

he tossed over the organ to the floor and

there might have never been a kick made

extract from this circular letter reads as
follows:-
"Ihe first quarter of the present conference
year ended with December 81, 1907. Our
collections during this three months period
have been shamefully small.--For domestic
missions, Sl2l.47; the asse .sment upon us for
this last named cause is $3.50 and should have
been fully paid in during November"
1t is also shown that the total collections
for the period named exclusive of special
assessments, amounted 10 $6ll.lS which, it
is claimed is, IAN amount not large enough
to pay our pastor, nothing for presiding
elder organist or choir, our ianitors, water.
gas, electric lighting coal and incidental ex-
ponses.' The circular closes with the fol-
lowing appeal.-'If we will measure up he
will pour out his love and blessing upon us"
Accompanying th, circular letter was bill
of Indebtedness which contains the following
items of arrears which the member ad-
dressed is expected to hand in instanter:-
For envelope assessment ...-.... 81 30
Domestic mission assessment .... 80

What do these facts indicate? The member
to whom this circular and statement was ad-
dressed, states that she receives one of these
love letters once every few week., and
these are sent 10 her irrespective of the fact
that she has proclaimed herself to be an
agnostic, an unbelever and has requested
that her name be stricken from the roll of
church membership. They suggest that as
the church cannot work without money and
money falling short the work must be limited
