NEW LIGHT RATE OFFERED
First Indeterminate Contract Offered
Any City in the U. S. Submitted
to Racine Council.

Racine-The first indeterminate
street lighting contract ever offered
city in the United States was sub
mitted to a committee of Racine
council by S. B. Way, vice president
and general manager of T. NJ. E. R.
& L. Co.
In principle the contract comes
about as close to municipal ownership
as it can without providing it. The
terms permit The Electric Co. to make
6 per cent interest on the money in
vested, prevents it from making any
profit beyond that, and guarantees it
against loss. The price of lights is
determined by the actual cost of op-
Grating the service. The price of serv-
ice will be adjusted every year. 1t the
city has ordered expensive extensions
and costly underground work, the av-
erage cost per lamp will be increased
to meet this expense. If no material
changes are made in the equipment,
the tendency will be to reduce the cost
through efficient operation. If lamps
are ordered installed at points where
the expense is not heavy it will reduce
the average cost.

WANTS DECISION REVERSED
Attorney General Requests Rehearing
in Compensation Case-Affects
Child Labor Law.

Madison.-In a brief filed by Attor-
ney General Walter c. Owen, the SUI
preme court is asked to reverse itself.
Last month the court, in an opinion
written by Justice Marshall, in the
case of Clarence Foth, a minor,
against a Kenosha manufacturer, con-
strued several words in the workmen's
compensation act in such way as to
seriously hamper the state in enforc
ing its well known policy of restricting
child labor and the industrial exploita-
ton of minors.
The industrial commission, which
administers the child labor laws and
the workmen's compensation law,
viewed the courts recent opinion with
such grave foreboding that it request
ed the attorney general to ask re-
hearing of the case. The resulting
brief not only asks the court to correct
what the attorney general deems an
obvious error in constituting the Ian
guage of the law, but also reviews the
history of child labor prohibition in
Wisconsin and the long struggle be-
tween the state, as the conserver Of
children, and employers who put cash
profits before life and limb of the
states future citizens.

WORK MORE THAN TEN HOURS
Madison Cafe Manager Charged With
Ten Separate Violations of the
Labor Law.

MadisOn.-SummOns and complaint
by the attorney general of Wisconsin
were served to c. C. CAM, manager of
the Northwestern cafe of Madison, al
leging ten separate violations of the
law regulating hours of labor for wom-
en-. 1t is a civil action and the COM
plant demands forfeiture under the
law upon each of the separate counts.
The minimum penalty is $40 and the
maximum $500, so that the total mini
mum penalty, upon conviction on all
ten counts will be 800 and the maxi
mum $1,000.
The action is begun by the attorney
general under direction of the state in
dustrial commission and is based upon
complaint of three women, employees
under direction of CAM as manager of
the cafe.
The complaint alleges that each of
the three women were compelled to
work more than ten hours per day
and that the required time was not
allowed for meals. The Northwestern
railroad company is in no way involv-
ed in the case.

WOULD ALTERNATE SEASON
New Richmond Man Would Prohibit
Shooting Deer Every Other
Year.

New Richmond-There has been
launched by the sportsmen in this city,
H. F. Barnes of the H. S. Thompson
Lumber company taking the initiative,
movement looking toward the
amendment or repeal of the present
law, which limits deer hunters in this
state to one deer and that buck. Mr..
Barnes says that the law prohibiting
the shooting of does, while undoubted-
ly correct in theory, is not protecting
the deer, but it is increasing the num-
Der killed and adds that if the present
slaughter is not stopped the deer in
the northern Wisconsin woods will
soon be exterminated.
Mr.. Barnes proposes the repeal Of
the one buck provision of the present
law, and substituting in lieu thereof
some real protection for the deer. To
this md he proposes that the shooting
of deer, both male and female and of
all ages, be prohibited in Wisconsin
every other year. He would have an
open season of not to exceed twenty
days, but only once in two y ars.

PLAN NATIONAL CHEESE DAY
Let Every One Get Acquainted With
Value of Product, Green County
Mems Slogan.

Monroe.-Monroe boosters are work
ing out plans which will result in the
establishment of an annual national
cheese day, at which time every one
will be urged to make the acquain-
lance of some kind of cheese. During
a "get together" banquet held here, in
celebrating the success of the second
annual Cheese day of Oct u, it was
decided an effort would be made to
get into touch with other cheese pro-
ducing centers of the country with a
view Of launching an annual cheese
day.
During the last year Green county
produced 511,959 pounds of American
cheese, 6,188,824 pounds of Swiss,
S,041, 465 pounds of Limburger and
1,586,747 pounds of brick cheese from
the 1892 COWS in the county, the
dairy products of the county being
valued at $3,785,0 64S1. 1t is regarded
as certain that with proper publicity
still greater returns will be possible,
while at the same time the value of
cheese will be brought more TO the
attention of the general public and
thousands who do not now use the
product will be convinced, as is proven
by tests, that it has a greater nutritive
value than meat.

MAY PERFORM MARRIAGES
Question as to Legality Arises From
Recent Ceremony at
Green Bay.

Madison.-Attorney General Owen
advised District Attorney Fred Morrill,
of Green Bay, that a Congregational
minister, though he has not had
charge of a parish for seven years, but
has continued his communion with
his religious organization, may lawful
ly perform marriages in Wisconsin.
Some question as to the validity of a
marriage performed by a Congrega-
tional minister at Green Bay arose
from the fact that he was not in active
charge of a parish. The fact, the at
torney general said, did not deprive
a minister of authority to perform
marriages, provided he complied with
requirements of the statutes.

Then Cazalet introduced himself to
the old gardener whom he had known
all his life; and by rights the man
should have wept outright, or else
emitted rustic epigram laden with
wise humor. But old Savage hailed
from silly Suffolk, and all his life he
had belied his surname, but never the

lowered his voice dramatically. Sure,

Blanche, and Cazalet nodded vigorous

Savage said this with pleased and
vacuous grin, looking Cazalet full in
the face; his rheumy eyes were red
as the sunset they faced; and Cazalet
drew a deep breath as Blanche and he
turned back toward the river

Cazalet looked at him a moment

he might take it up. Of course there
was no mark whatever, and Cazalet
laughed.
You should have caught me when

CHAPTER VIII.
Einqer-Prints.

Hilton Toye was the kind of Ameri-
can who knew London as we'll as most
LOndoners, and some other capitals
good deal better than their respective
citizens of corresponding intelligence.
His travels were mysteriously but en-
viably interviewer with business; he
had an air of enjoying himself, and at
the same time making money to pay
for his enjoyment, wherever he went.
His hotel days were much the same all
over Europe: many appointments, but
abundant leisure. AS, however, he
never spoke about his own affairs I'M
less they were also those of the lis
tener-and not always then-half his
acquaintance had no idea how he
made his money. and the other half
wondered how he spent his time Of
his mere interests, which were many,
Toye made no such secret; but it was
quite impossible to deduce a main in
dustry from the by-products of his
levelheaded versatility.
Criminology, for example, was an
obvious by-product; it was no morbid
taste in Hilton Toye but a scientific
hobby that appealed to his mental
subtlety. And subtle he was. yet
with strange simplicities; grave and
digniied yet addicted to the express
sive phraseology of his less enlight-
ened cOuntrymen; naturally sincere,
and yet always capable of some in
genuous duplicity.
The appeal of a Blanche Macnair to
such a soul needs no analysis. She
had struck through all complexities to
the core, such as it was or as she
might make it. AS yet she could only
admire the character the man had
shown, though it had upset her none
the less. At Engelberg he had pro-
posed to her inside of two weeks"
as he had admitted without compunc-
ton at the time. It had taken him,
he said, about two minutes to make
up his mind; but the following sum-
mer he had laid more deliberate siege,
in accordance with some old idea that
she had let fall to soften her first re-
fusal. The result had been the same.
only more explicit on both sides. She
had denied him the least particle of
hope. and he had warned her that she
had not heard the last of him by any
means. and never would till she mar
ried another man. This had incensed
her at the time, but a great deal less
on subsequent reflection; and such
was the position between that pair
when Toye and Cazalet landed in Eng
land from the same steamer.
On this second day ashore, as GAIA
let sat over a late breakfast in Jer-
myn street Toye sent in his card and
was permitted to follow it, rather to
his surprise. He found his man frank
ly divided between kidneys-and-baco
and the morning paper. but in hearty
mood, indicative of amends for his
great heat in yesterdays argument.
