BASEBALL.

Lake shore league flaming" is a
sure sign of spring. The annual league
meeting will be held at Milwaukee
March 3Oth. The present outlook is
for team circuit. This scheme con-
templates dropping two of the Chicago
teams, retaining from there only the
Gunther champs. This with Sheboy-
gan, Manitowoc and two at Milwaukee
will leave one vacancy, for which both
Kenosha and Port Washington are said
to be contenders. Patrons up this way
would not like TO see Kaisers plucky
Port Washingtons pushed out, but he
will have to strengthen his team to get
"a franchise"
II Ernie Groth had couple of classy
intielders behind him and few swat
ters to bunch in the list he could make
any of the teams step lively.

HEMPTON BACK TO ASYLUM.

James Hempton is now an inmate of
the newly opened hospital for the Grim
inal insane at Waupun. Hempton was
at one time a prosperous merchant
here. A bout 10 years ago he shot his
wife at their home on north 9Th street.
He was convicted in circuit court here
and sentenced TO life imprisonment
and taken to the penitentiary. His
counsel, the late G.. g. Sedgwick pur-
sued the matter indefatigably, and
secured new trial from the supreme
A'ourt partly on the grounds of alleged
)rlproper conduct of the jurymen dur
ing the trial. On the re.trial at Green
Bay Hempton was adjudged insane
He was paroled from the northern
hospital about year ago but evident

ST. PATRICK'S DAY OBSERVED.

The annual celebration of St Pat
rick's day by the local X OF C council
took place in the Sacred Heart church
hall Tuesday evening. I. was dinner
with speeches, readings and music fol-
lowing.
Every cover provide d was taken and
the program lasted until 1890 o'clock.
Frank Hoffman had his initial expert
ence as POSTMASTER and subsequent
demands for his services are now inevi-
table. Father J. 7. O'Leary delivered
an inspiring address on Ireland. Rev
Jos. Geissler cut short his talk in order
to catch his car for Two Rivers. He
was in his best vein and the enforced
brevity was unfortunate. +. l.. Kelley
gave a talk on Irish song and Tom
Moore, being an epitome of his lecture
entitled "The Irish Minstrel" twas
appropriate to the occasion and we'll
done. Marie Miller rendered Mr..
Dooley's recently announced opinions
Of the present dancing craze in man
ner that captured the crowd and ne
cessitated an encore. She handled the
brogue remarkably well. Marie Null
holland had to repeat after piano
solo because of the irristency of the
applause.
Miss Hinze from Texas, a guest of
Miss Farrell at Two Rivers, caught the
crowd with a humorous Irish ballad
and responded with "Believe me if all
Those endearing young Charms"
The fine combination of voice and per-
sonality made the stranger a favorite.
Mrs. VIII Nelson sang "Birds on the
Wing" and met the demand for more
with Mother Machree. Despite the
unfavorable sound properties of the
hall this tender popular song, familiar
to nearly all through McCormacks
phonograph record, rang sweet and
clear and touched every one present.
Later in the evening Mrs. Nelson an
swered request for more by singing
'The Last Rose of Summer"
The affair was a pronounced success
and puts this annual observance on firm
footing.

BIRDS AS INSECT EN- EMI ES.

BIRDS AS INSECT EN EMIE
American farmers are losing more
than billion dollars year because OF
the depredations of insects. This esti-
mate has been made by the United
States Department of Agriculture.
In addition to these losses an enor-
nous amount OF money is being ex-
pended in making war on insect pests
This is being done by the Federal Gov
ernment, by the States and by individ-
uals. The State of Massachusetts, for
instance, is spending million dollars a
year in fighting the gypsy moth and
some of its allied pests which are des-
troy NJ trees.
Birds are the most effective enemies
Of insects, but unfortunately large
proportion of the population has been
taught TO believe that most birds are
enemies of the human race, or at least
are here on earth for no better pur-
pose than TO furnish sport to those who
delight in shooting, trapping and other
effective methods OF reducing the bird
surplus. AS consequence the surplus
has been reduced until in many locali-
ties it amounts to shortage. Some OF
the most useful varieties of birds have
disappeared while others seem 70 be
near the vanishing point.
Congress last year enacted law for
the protection of migratory birds. Al
ready the constitutionality Of this law
has been challenged on the ground that
it is IAN unwarranted invasion by the
Federal Government Of n power that
belongs IA the State exclusively" As
a matter of fact most of the States are
doing absolutely nothing TO protect bird
life, and AS both birds and insects are
some what indifferent TO State bound.
ares it is up to Uncle Sam 10 do some
thing TO stop the ravages OF the insec Is
and the determination OF the birds.
The quail, one Of the best insect an.
nihiators in the entire list, is not con.
sidered migratory bird and is no,
| given Federal protection. The same
may be said OF number Of other ia.
| miliar birds which prefer a restricted
habitat. State laws have not done
much for them and while the birds
have deere ased the insect pests have
| multiplied. There is manifest need o
| legislation for bird protection, but there
is still greater need OF popular educa
tion as 10 the value OF birds and the
cost OF insec. depredations.

TESTIMONY ENDANGERS WITNESS

Last week in municipal court a
young man from near Collins was on
trial in an attempt to fasten paternity
upon him. Another young man of the
neighborhood was called to the stand
and gave testimony of his own relations
with the complainant that would ac-
quit the defendant. This testimony if
credible is a complete defense in the pro-
ceeding. The district attorney how.
ever at recess procured warrant for
the arrest of the witness on the basis
OF his testimony. The first proceeding
was adjourned till April l4th on account

Now that President Claveland's ad-
ministration has come 70 close, it is
possible republicans may choose to do
him justice. a more courageous, CON
scientious or careful executive the ma
tion never had. His defeat was due to
his integrity as public officer charged
with duties affecting public interests.
Judged by his administration, but few
of his predecessors were his equals in
point of ability. Everything he has
done as president bears the mark OF
clear and intelligent inquiry and most
conscientious adherence TO the line of
duty. The very enmities he made in
his own party add lustre to his adj
ministration. The country will soon
perceive his wisdom in guarding the
treasury against the assaults of class
who deem the treasury their legitim.
ate prey. He was defeated by the very
people whose interests he guarded
But history will do him Justice.
