HUGO AND TIE YOUNG POET.


 RraisS Fer His Vsrsss Which the Mas- \ Fer Had Not Read,
 Paris contempdfary tells story Of victor Hugo anu . young unknown poets The poet, hailing from the prov lnces, sent to the author of "Notre Dame de Paris a copy of his work, which he had just published in the form of book of poems. Hugo re- piled in most sympathetic terms, and the young man was delighted with the letter, as well lie might have been.
 His joy. however, was but short lived, for a day or two later his serv- ant announced that the package con tainihg the volume of poems had come back through the post unopened. The package bore the legend. Refuse par .lea destinataire- affranc hissement in sutHsants:' H'efused by the addressee on account of insufficient postage9.A
 Hugo's letter was hyperbolic and in these terms: Your work has given me a proud pleasure, under the impression of which hasten to congratulate you. Your fame is young and radiant; mine sis declining. It is the saIutation of the night which departs at the rising of the dawn. You are shining, and am dying. You emerge from oblivion: return there. ss
 .'The heart either grows hard or breaks forth. Your sentiments have come forth, and you have written SO .norous and superb poetry which conse- crates you as poet as we'll as affirm ing you as man. You are then 'deux fois smon frere (twice my brother). Accept my admiration as great as my esteen1." 8 HS e 8f

ASHLAND AVENUE UNCHANGED
Grover, Valentine and Brockett Streets
Also Retain Their Old Names
but Change is Promised in the
Near Future.

People in all parts of the city will
probably be wandering aimlessly about
in search of their homes during the
next few months as the city council
at its meeting on Monday evening
passed an ordinance by which the
names of eleven of the streets of the
city were changed and the streets will
be known by the new names just as
soon as the ordinance is given the re-
CURED publication. The ordinance
had been before the council for more
than seven months and when there
was lull in the proceedings of the
council last night Alderman Pirsch,
who had fathered the ordinance, in
sisted that it be brought up and pass
ed. In the original draft of the ordi-
nance there were more than sixteen
whose names were to be changed but
before the ordinance reached vote it
had been numerically pruned. The
names of the streets as changed are
as follows:
Doan street is changed to Maple
wood avenue.
Judd avenue to Lyman avenue.
Union street to Milwaukee avenue.
Aida street to Victoria street.
Maple, North Maple and Second
streets to Fremont avenue.
Jay street to Pleasant street.
York street to Garden street,
Rock street to JENNIE street.
Crate street to Newell street.
Chestnut street to Cedar street..
South Oak street to Elm street.
The changes named in the ordinance
were made without any protest on the
part of the members of the council or
the property owners affected.
The first big argument came when it
was suggested to change the name of
Ashland avenue and Caledonia street
to Sheridan road and this brought de-
cided opposition from the aldermen of
both the Second and Third wards and
after long discussion this section of

MARRIED IN MICHIGAN
George E. johnson and Miss Elsie Ellis
Married at High Noon Thursday !


At high noon Thursday at the home of
the bride at Mt. Pleasant, Michigan,
occurred the marriage of Miss Elsie
Ellis, well known young woman of
Mt. Pleasant and George T. johnson
of kenosha The Rev. Mr.. Ommeron
of Mt. Pleasant officiated at the cere-
mony and as both the bride and groom
are deaf mutes Superintendent T. D..
Clark of the Michigan School for the
Deaf acted as interpreter. The we'd
ding IS the elimination of a romance
begun In the Michigan school for the
deaf several years ago when both Mr.
johnson and his bride were students
there. Both the bride and groom
graduated from the school and Mrs.
johnson has been engaged as a teach
er since leaving school Mr.. Johnson
who IS employed at the office of the
Evening News has been leader in the
little colony of mutes in Kenosha for
several years and the members Of the
cAlony are planning to give him and
his bride great reception when they
come to Kenosha to make their home.
Mr.. and Mrs. Johnson will take short
wedding trip through Michigan and
they will be at home to their friends
in Kenosha after January 18th.

Secretary Fred Brockhausen reported
Monday at the opening of the semi
annual session Of the executive COM
mittee in Milwaukee.
The committee will probably adj

Kaufman, Kenosha; Frank Metcalf,
Paul Luetten, Frank J. Weber and
Fred Brockhausen, Milwaukee.
Action, will be taken by the COM
mittee concerning the controversy
which has divided the electrical work
ers, the body favoring policy of
reconciliation
Financial aid may be rendered the
American Federation of Labor in its
fight against. the steel trust, and also
to The Social Democratic Herald to
defend a libel suit which is the out
growth Of an answer to a statement
concerning labor.

ciety Of Equity, an organization of
farmers.

the ordinance was dropped. The next
real fight came over the plan to change
the names of Grover, Valentine and
Brockett street to Broekett street and
this brought out the one real hot dis
eussion of the evening. Residents
of Grover street kicked through their
aldermen and residents of Valentine
street were IN the council room in per
son to protest and yet there was a
strong deternA alton on the part of
some of the Nidermen to change the
names of Grover and Valentine streets
to Broekett street. This fight came
near putting an end to the change of
any of the stree >lames and once in the
heat of the discussion the mayor waxed
so wroth at the opposition to the
change that he declared that if the
change was not made the council
should bgSy the ordinance so
deep that it would never be found
again. Even this strenuous language
failed to move the aldermen opposed
to the change and after long fight it
was decided to drop out these three
streets and leave the matter of select
ing name to the aldermen of the
Third, Fourth and Fifth wards to re-
port at the next meeting of the coun-
Gil with the understanding that a
special ordinance will be passed to
make the change in the name of these
streets. It is probable that this will
be the last of the fight for the change
on these streets as there is little rea-
son to believe that the aldermen and
the property owners can decide on
name,
The ordinance had also provided for
the change of the names of Prospect
Place and Eagle street to julius street
but when the aldermen of the Second
ward protested this change was dropped
without discussion.
The changing of the names of the
streets will entail quite an expense on
the city as it will be necessary to erect
many new street signs and in addition
to this it is probable that new sys-
tenn of numbering of the houses will
have to be worked out when the names
of the streets change. In most cases
where changes in the names were made
the streets are connecting streets. and
it is thought that the change will go a
long way toward avoiding confusion in
the future.

Another near tragedy as direct re-
suit of the almost universal practice
among our foreign born citizens, OF
carry deadly weapons coupled with the
disposition to use them on slight pro
vocation. The fact that these people
do their fighting entirely among them
selves accounts in a large measure for
the failure to enforce the penalty for
going armed against them. Should
any of them attack q police officer
with a weapon the law would be in
voled in short order and they would
be disarmcd, but the police are TAX
ing big chances when they fail to en-
force the law against carrying wea-
pons before any assaults are made on
them No one can tell when some
man whom they may be arresting for
petty offense will turn on them with
a weapon and for their own protection
the officers should make an effort to
enforce the law against carrying arms
to the letter

The principal opposition to the hold
ing Of special session Of the iegisla
ture evidently comes from the wide
spread belief that the members would
spend their time playing politics and
that nothing would be accomplished
while the expense to the state would
be heavy, but with measures of first
Importance awaiting action by the leg
islature the governor may decide to
call the special session in the hope that
the members may follow the letter and
spirit of the law which provides that
no business may be taken up at a
special session save that which is
specifically included in the call. In
the opinion of many of the progressive
people of the state the governor would
be justified in calling the legislature
together to take action ON the good
roads bill alone, they believing that
the passage of this bill with the
least possible delay is Of paramount
Importance to the development of the
state, Many of the counties are wait
ing for the passage of this bill to
inaugurate extensive road improve
ments and the failure to call special
session will delay for another year at
least work that has been delayed too
long already. The advocates of good
roads want to be in a position to push
work next summer.

foreman of the foundry of the Sim.
mons Manufacturing Company and
man widely known in Kenosha, died

street late Monday afternoon after
long illness from complication of
diseases at the age of y years. The
deceased was a son of the late William
Borkenhagen, one of the pioneers Of
Kenosha. He was born on May 9th,
1867, and had spent his entire life in
Kenosha. He is survived by his wi
dow. The funeral viii be held from
the late residence at 2:30 clock Thurs
day afternoon and interment will

City cemetery. The announcement of
the death of Mr.. Borkenhagen will
come as shock to many of his friends
as few of them had known of his criti-
cal illness.

Agents of the federal government
are said to have been in this county
for the last three weeks seeking evl-
dence against the alleged milk trust
and surely if there is any place they
can get the kind of testimony they
are looking for it should be among the
milk producers of Kenosha. When 1t
comes to being forced to sign con
tracts for their product at prices fixed
arbitrarily by dealers in the large
cities there is no experience that the
Kenosha farmers have not been
through and, if the rumors flying
around of the methods used by agents
to force signatures to contracts at the
time the new contracts were made this
fall had any foundation in fact, their
testimony should be of great assls-
tanco to the government in making out
ia case against the alleged combine.
