The winners of the declamatory con-

Lehr, second. In the oratorical contest
Will. Jelliffe was awarded first place
and David Brown second. These speak
ers will represent Mineral Point in the
League contest to be held in the NUM-
cipal Theatre, Friday night, April 10Th.
The contests this year were good con-
sidering the limited time given to this
work. and we expect to make a good
showing in the League contest.
Last fall it was decided tU suspend
the publication Of the high school
Annual this year as a war measure, de-
voting the time and energies to other
work. Recently the students asked for
a reconsideration of the question and
voted almost unanimously to publish
another book which would contain a
record of the war and other activities of
the school during the past year. A
canvass of the business men showed
that they were ready to support the
enterprise by liberal advertising, and a
large subscription list was quickly
raised. 1t has, therefore, been decided
to issue Volume 2 of the Pointer this
spring. The subscription price will be
kept at one dollar, in spite of the fact
that the cost of publication will be
somewhat larger. 1t is hoped that the
increase of cost may be overcome by
securing larger list of subscribers.

WISCONSIN ONCE VISITED BY
MRS ALEXANDER HARAILT TON
Distinguished Woman Came to See
Son Who Was Engaged IN
Lead Minind.


That Mrs Alexander Hamilton once
visited Wisconsin is fact perhaps not
generally known to theatregoers in the
state who have seen George Arliss in
"Hamilton." AS beautiful Kitty
Schuyler she had been belle in her
younger days. William Stephen Ham
ilton, one of the younger Of her eight
sons, was swept into the mining rush Of
1927 and came prospecting in south
western Wisconsin. He established a
smelter, it is shown in an account in
the Wisconsin Historical Library, at
his mines on the eastern border of La
fayette county at the place he named
WiOta.
10 this bachelor establishment of
BILLY" Hamilton, about ten years
after his settlement in Wisconsin, came
his mother and one Of his sisters. At
that time eighy four years old, Mrs
Hamilton made the journey to Galena
by steamboat, thence overland by wag
on to her sons home. The simple,
wholesome life of the frontier charmed
the city bred woman, and she in turn
taste Of rare gentility and refinement.
Early residents Of this community
used to tell of visits of William Hamil-
ton to Mineral Point.

in the interests of Germany. He declared that
if the Roman Catholic Church, the Nationalist
party and the Sim Feiners had combined to
defeat CONSUMPTION, they had rendered Germany a
priceless service but had also dug the grave OF
homo rule.
He asserted that "there were no grounds In
logic, equity or justice why Ireland should NOT
be called upon to bear her share OF the sacrlhces
which other parts of the kingdom are asked to
assume; that 1.-The Roman Catholic clergy when
they acted as they did threw down challenge
not only of obedience to the law but direct ehal-
lenge to imperial supremacy on matter which
lies within the scope of the Imperial Parliament,
viz to raise forces for the defence of the kingdom
They had advised their focks under penal
ties of eternal damnaton to resist consumption to
the uttermost.
In view of all these things and because of the
change of opinion brought about by them at homo
and across the SEAS Irish home rule and Irish con-
seription were alike to be thrown on the scrap
heap.
Policy Of Concession Disastrous.
Lord Middleton, who lost the support of the
whole body of southern Unionists because he had
in the convention pursued policy of concession
and compromise to the point of disaster, told the
Lords that while he sat in conference for months
with John Redmond he would not sit with his sue
cessors, who were every day in conference with
the avowed enemies of this country and who by
the common link of no CONSUMPTION are taking part
with men who if the Government have the evidence
against them which they profess to have, and which
believe they have, ought to be shot as traitors
How, he asked, ''are we to 60 into conference
with men who are doing their utmost to prevent
Ireland taking any part in the war and avow that
they prefer German to British rule in Irelandf
There is not one Uuionist in Ireland at this mo.
ment," he passionately declared, "who will sit In
Dublin Parliament if you could form one"
His dream is over and so is the dream Of the Cow
The sun. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1916-1920, 1918-08-18

cage" Grifiths in Jail was at least great force
as Grifiths at large.
The Nationalist would rather have lost any other
seat in Ireland; it was one of their fortresses. The
Sim Feiners coveted East Cavan as they coveted
no other constituency because it meant breach OF
the Nationalist frontier in Ulster.
Might Have Riv.lled Billy Sunday.
The stormy days preceding and succeeding the
death of Parnell left East Cavan untouched. The
late member, Sam Young, was wealthy man. He
spent money literally and discreetly, and his end
was peace He amassed great fortune by distil-
ling spirits alcoholic and his hobby was discoursing
