W.ANAMAKER'S
An Old Personal
Friend, the Governor
of Pennsylvania,
Last Night Honored

its chief city and by his presence at
our anniversary Gel brat o n
encouraged its business leaders to
study the educational lines pursued
by the youth of this establishment
for the last half century.
Grouped around Governor Sproul
upon the platform were eighty-six
officers of the United States Army,
ninety-five of the National Guard of
Pennsylvania, and fifty-fve of the
Navy of the United States.
The occasion was the twenty.ninth
anniversary of the formal organization Of
our Commercial Institute in 1891, though,
as of necessity, it began as Store
Continuation School as far back as 1878.
The public schools, as we are informed,
undertook continuation schools at later
date.
The compelling idea was to utilize the
dullest periods of the business day by
making the boys and girls receive their
usual wages while they were working
entirely on their own minds with teachers
10 obtain what they failed to get at the
schools when they left to 60 to work.
One of our first boys, from natural
qualifications, became the leader of the
], VIC. l.. and from his records it is shown
that 66O5 boys and 3247 girls have, in the
last twenty-nine years, attended these
schools, which have been taught by ITO
teachers, giving a total of 1862 persons.
These schools have developed manhood
and womanhood, supplied education not
otherwise attainable, formed good
manners, stimulated ambitions, made the
fellows with only youthful years into full
grown men to carry the American flag into
the wars with Mexico and overseas.
An unexpected outcome, from the
athletic side of the J. w. G. l., was the
formation of the military companies in
the two cities of Philadelphia and New
York. and the very same day the call of
the President came to go to Mexico
seyenty-twO of our uniformed lads in
Philadelphia were ready and reported at
the armOries.
Among the first, our boys in
Philadelphia heard the bugle call of the
Franco.German conflict, and all told, 1889
fellows of the Philadelphia and New York
Stores entered the service of the United
States government in the army, navy and
marine corps.
All the work of this store, with its
many innovations for the first few years,
was upstream. Neither the elements Of
misunderstanding, nor old-fogyism, nor
the prosecutions common to new undertak-
ngs staggered us. We had the settled
purpose of raising the standard of
domestic retail trade and commerce in
general and the uplift of the city which
ranks, first in many particulars and now
bids fair to take on new leadership under
its new mayor, ex-Congressman Moore.
1t gives the writer great pleasure
to see over the seven hills higher
business mountains to climb.
Therefore, we are looking forward
to the realization of new visions that
dawn with the new days as they
come.

George H. Green Entertains Members
and Friends with XyIophone Solos.
Tuesday evening was a gala occasion
for the members of the SINCE Band
and their friends. When they reported
for their band practice at the SINCE
Club rooms, they found most agree
able surprise waiting for them. Georges
Hamilton Greene, the son of George
Green, the leader Of the SINCE Band,
is visiting his parents in Kenosha and
was present at the Tuesday evening
gathering to play several xylophone
solos for the bandsmen.
There had been no special notice
given Of the gathering but some way
or other the word that "the band
masters son" was to play had leaked
out and there was a large number
present to enjoy the surprise. They
were all more than repaid too for Mr..
Green is an artist. He played for
them several Of the numbers which
have won him national fame as a xylo-
phone soloist including many Of his
own compositions. He is a real master
on the instrument and Kenoshans ~ho
heard him were enthusiastic in praise
Of his ability.
The occasion recalled the visit last
October Of Joseph Green, another son
Of George Green, to Kenosha as the
xylophone soloist Of the Sousa Band,
when this brother enshrined himself
in the hearts of Kenosha music lovers
as his brother did last evening. The
two brothers are the members Of the
famous Green Brothers xylophone duet
who have become recognized as the
greatest artists on the instrument in
this country and who have already be-
come known in Kenosha through the
victrola records Of their productions
Following the numbers, Mr.. Green
and his father were guests Of the band
at delightful social session where the
members Of the band became acquaint-
ed with their talented guest.

ALPHA OMICRON
GIVES AT-HOME
''The Lincoln Boys" and
Others Feature Program
Presented by Club.
BACK TO BABYHOOD


frequently it is rather difficult to
tell the end from the beginning. At
least this was the discovery made by
guests at the Alpha Omlicron At-home
held in the parlors of the Park Ave.
Methodist church at eight o'clock on
Tuesday evening. Confronted with the
baby-portraits of those present, thrown
into bold relief by a Balopticon,
they found that things do change
and especially people.
The guess-again adventure was the
closing feature of d novel entertain
1nent given by the members of the
club for the members of the church
and their friends. It was strictly in
formal and equally enjoyable.
The program opened with group of
negro melodies colorfully interpreted
by Miss Cora Hooper, alias Aunt
Jemims Her songs were we'll chosen,
well sung, and we'll accompanied by
Miss Lillian Van Gasbeck at the piano.
Following their rendition Earl Marlatt,
recently returned to Kenosha after
spending the winter in Boston, con-
tributed semi-serious interlude en-
titled .'I'm here Why?" The guests
are still wondering.
All Life in a Life.
The third number on the program
presented Miss Katherine Reed in
"Impersonations." They were that and
more; they were almost life. With
more art than mechanics in the way
Of makeup etcetera the reader re-
lived child having its petty troubles
Of day and a man, age one hundred
and fifteen years, wishing he was q
boy again and insisting that the fire o.
youth was still more than embers in
his ashen frame. The numbers were
quaint end and admirably done as were
also the songs subsequently sung by
the M lsses Edith and Mildred Keup.
Lincoln Boys Are Jonahs.
Following these offerings, which
were received with the inevitable amueh
applause Miss Hermena hoehn, Of
fetal hostess for the function, PACED
"The Lincoln Boys" appearing under
the direction Of Miss Minnie Larsen
They responded with two numbers, q
"Jo-Jo-Jonah" novelty, and a pleas
ing variation from the movie cave
man-stuff called "Staf Men"
The latter number featured Master
Victor Bogwilo, who, as leader Of the
"Staff- Men, welded his baton so sue
cessfully as to draw music, exquisite
music from the upturned faces Of
sun-fowers.
The same success came to Miss Ed
ma Gail who read an artistic sketch
"about religion and romance. 1t was
not nearly so paradoxical as the com
ment suggests nor vet so paradoxical
as its encore, a clever bit entitled
"The Corkscrew' This number was
deliciously refreshing "in these dry
times"
Enter: Mrs. farley Eft All.
Perhaps the liner on the even.
ing's bill was Mrs. Jarley's wax-works
introduced by Miss Cordelia Shaw as
Mrs. farley, and wound-up, as their
run down condition demanded, by Miss
Lena Nelson. They and the refecto-
scope with its revelations about the in
fancy of those present concluded the
program for the Alpha Omicrons
first At-Home.
