I HENRY HINRICHS, FRANK SEIDL AND EICHMAN OWN “GENTLE ANNIE” “Gentle Annie" has stood outside of Frank Seidl'a jewelery store, for, 10, j these many weeks, and though Frank. I Henry Hinrichs and Mr. Eichmau claim I equal possession of her, yet she never j makes a kick, she is entirely uncom | plaining. No one. however, can accuse her of beauty, she is unlovely to look • upon, but she makes up in usefulness | what she lacks in ornament. Many per sons have stopped in front of the st< >re and I gazed upon her; her makeup and gener lal contour is so quaint, even queer. She i eschews fashion, and the gee-gaws and fluffy stuff that the average •feminine 1 heart delights in, but arraying herself in modest and unpretentious attire her ; agility of movement is increased. She : wears four hoop skirts, less flouting, however, than the crinoline of yore, i Her hoops are trimmed with rubber, so she can sweep along the roadway witn j out gathering too much dust. I Though “Gentle Annie” is in the joint ownership of the three men named she i has no preference with whom she goes out. Someone who saw Frank Seidl and “Gentle Annie,” together said that Frank was a little awkward in his move ments, and before lie can graduate as an adept in the art of gallantry he will need more practice. Henry and “Gentle" Annie suit each other as a duck does to water, Eichman not being jealous only incidentally courts the lady. SOME COUNTY MEN WHO WERE SEEN IN THE CITY THIS WEEK. C. Hein of Reedsville spent the Fourth in the city. Dr. O’Connell of Cato was in the city last Saturday. Dr. Currens of Two Rivers spent sev eral days in the city. F. H. Meany of Reedsville was in the city on the Fourth. The Rev. Father Geissler of Two Riv ers was in the city on Monday. Supervisor David Sheldon, of Bram-h was in the city on county business. J. E. Hamilton of Two Rivers trans acted business in Manitowoc on Satur day last. Frank Meisnest, of Branch was in the city Monday. He has secured the poai- i tiou of assistant in the First ward school, j Milwaukee-Downer College. Throughout the country thei - e has ■ been a rapidly growing interest in Mil- ■ waukee-Downer college. This institn tion occupies the unique position of be ing the only college for women exclu sively in the great state of Wisconsin. In addition to its offering a broad and thorough course of college work, from any year of which a student may pass to like rank in other colleges, and the fact that on its diploma a life certificate for teaching in Wisconsin may be issued, it provides a beautiful home in which the utmost attention is paid to the best and most wholesome conditions of .phys ical wellbeing, as well as to the social! culture and moral influences that con tribute so largely in preparing a woman for the largest usefulness in the home, church and society. The importance of surrounding the i life of a young girl, at its most respons- j ive period, with refining influences, and an atmosphere that is conducive to de veloping good taste, forming good man ners. and establishing good principles, is a constantly growing consideration with thoughtful parents. It is recog nized that an environment of beauty, refinement and culture, together with a spirit of moral earnestness and appeal j to the higher interests of life are inval-! uable in the formation of character. The steadily increasing patronage of rhe j college testifies to its merit on these im portant lines. j The attraction of the college is much enhanced by the ere ;tion of anew resi dence, College Hall, to be occupied in September next, by students of the Col lege department. The Seminary, a col- 1 lege preparatory school, which has a | large attendance, will continue to occn- 1 py Holton Hall. The new building is a handsome brick structure, planned to accomodate about fifty persons, having besides apartments for students, parlors, cuisine, and dining room. Certainly any young lady planning to attend school or college or to study mu-1 sic or art cannot afford to fail to exam- j ine the opportunities for education that | are offered by Milwaukee-Downer Col lege. ml6j)Bjyll | Torrlson gets a Position— Arthur | Torrison has secured a position with the j Manitowoc Gas Cos. TO USE-WIRELESS TELEGRAPHY. Pere Marquette Company Will Operate in this City. THEY WILL SIGNAL THE BOATS- Manitowoc and Milwaukee are to be Connected- AND ALSO THIS CITY AND ALDINGTON. Arrangements are Already Under Way to Bring This System Into Practical Use. The Pere Marquette company intend to put to practical use wireless telegra phy. Plans to install the new system of electrical communication between Manitowoc and Milwaukee and between Manitowoc and Ludington, Mich., and on all the lake boats operated by the company. With this object in view W. L. Mer. cereau, superintendent of steamships of the Pere Marquette line, had a confer ence in Milwaukee with Joseph S. Schwab of Chicago, president and gen eral manager of the Northwestern Wire less Telenhone and Telegraph company, in Milwaukee, which is understood to have been satisfactory to both parties. Mr. Schwab gave The Sentinel the following interview: “1 came to Mil waukee at the invitation of Supt. Mer cereau to talk with him about establish ing our system of communication be tween this city and Manitowoc, a dis tance of ninety-six miles, and between Manitowoc and Ludington. Mich., which are sixty-two miles apart. Also about putting our apparatus on the boats of the Pere Marquette line. If the plans that Mr. Mercereau has in mind are carried out tile Pere Marquette line will probably become a pioneer, so far as wireless telegraphy is concerned, in the West. 'We went over the whole ground and Mr. Mercereau instructed me to prepare full estimates regarding the work, which 1. am to submit to him without delay. He sees the great prae tieal utility of being able to keep in con stant communication with the vessels operated by his company and seems much in earnest. It will take us but a short time to establish the system in working order after receiving the order. | so that wireless telegraphy may be in operation here soon. ” REAL ESTATE.

She \N rites of Her Voyage Across the Ocean. WHAT THEY DID ON SHIPBOARD. Tells Her Centerville Friends Interesting Items of News, ABOUT THE WOMEN IN EUROPEAN CITIES. Finds Very Little Difference Between Them and Those She knows in This County and Country. Miss Helena Schulte of Cleveland, who is in Europe traveling for pleasure, writes from Antwerp the following let ter to The Pilot to her friends in Cen terville and other parts of the county. Here is the letter: "Mv Dkak Fmk\ns -You may have read the letter which I wrote before leaving the American shore, su 1 will write another relating to my voyage. The boat left New York June 12 at noon. A thousand people stood on the dock waving their handkerchiefs for a farewell to their friends and relatives. The boat moved along smoothly and af ter an hour, land was out of sight, noth nig but sky and water to be seen for ten lays. The Friesland is one of the sK.w steamers, making JTO to 850 miles in 21 hours. We had no storm at all, but one lay the sea was rough which day I en joyed the most. The waves appeared like the snowy mountain tops of Yosem ite. Quite a few were sick and longed for their destination. “I have had a very pleasant voyage and enjoyed it ever so much, not a spell >f sea sickness came on me. I was mt on deek all day taking in the sea breeze with the exception of two days when it rained. Then we gathered in the din ing room, telling tales and singing, ac companied with violin and zither music A ship on the ocean is like an island. With over five hundred gathered it does not allow a person to be lonesome at all for we were about like mie family. There were only two ladies besides my self in our cabin taking their first trip across. The others were born in Eurnjie and had crossed the sea once or oftener "We entered the English channel on the morning of June 21. A great cry and rush to see land, the light house and the Bishop Rucks, soon thereafter the English coast. It seemed good to see the green fields and buildings. The sea was very calm, the ship floating along without a rocking. It has been quite coin and winter wraps were com fortable during the voyage. "We arrived at Antwerp, Saturday, the 22nd at SP, M. Atter securing our hotels we went out to see the town By the looks of the ladies I didn't know 1 was iii Europe. They were dressed very stylish even more so than in Chica go or New York. The city and build ings are different in every way, al though the new buildings are built very nice and it is most interesting to see them. The streets are very narrow and the people use them for walking as well as driving, especially in Munster, which looked very odd to me. Military hoys are seen on all streets and I have met them in their parade. I have visited several churches all of which were built in olden times. < )ne is the cat be,b i an immense stone building, surrounded by trees as high as the building itself. In the city there is a p:o:nenade shaded by large high trees which leads to the j Zoological garden. I have attended performances at this garden in the even ing such as turning and rope walking by experts from Berlin. I have also walked through the Schloss garden by day, which is tilled with roses and other Bowers in bloom, The trains are quite different from those of America. They look like a freight train and have first, second, third and fourth class passage. First and second class are about the same except first class seats have red and finer plush while the second class have gray velvet. Third class has mod ern seats like our street cars. Fourth class has a bench on the sides ami stand ing room in the center There is quite a big difference in price, the difference in a two hour s ride of each class is 50 cents. lam at present with my cousins at Westernkotten, the old home of mv par ents. I attended a wedding on the first day of my arrival and met a very jolly crowd. I came unexpected and all were very glad to see the American. I will stay here for some time and then intend to extend my trip to the cities of inter est in Enrols*. It is quite cool for the month of June, heavy dresses lieing comfortable. The days are so ranch longer here, it lieing daylight until ten o’clock in the evening and day break at two o'clock in the j morning The difference in time is six I hours, 1 will now come to a close.
