221 Sixth Street. The New Battleship to be Named After This State. IT IS NOW IN CONSTRUCTION She Will be Launched ok Nov. SA-rwad Betas Raised to Parehaae a Gift tor the State It Is Hoped That $3,000 TTIll he Halted. The battleship Wisconsin, now in pro gress of construction- in the shipyard of the Union Iron works, San Francisco, is one of three new battleships which- will be practically alike.

Her sister ships are the' Alabama and Illinois. The dimen sions of these, ships are: Waterline length, .368 feet; beam, 2 feet 2 inches; iraugnt, 23 feet 6 inches; freeooard for ward, 20 feet; freeboard aft, 13 feet 3 inches; displacement 11,520 tons. The Wisconsin is eight feet longer than Iowa; and neany three inches "wider, but she- will draw six ftithes less water than that ship She ia twenty feet longer and about three feet broader than the battle- snips of tne Indiana class, wih six inches less mean draught. The bestvfeatures of the Indiana ea. as we.t as those of the Kearsarge and Kentucky, have been Improved on in the Wisconsin.

The plan followed in the construction of the Kearsarge and Kentucky, of putting the 8-rnch guns in turrets superimposed on the turrets carrying the 13-inch guns, caused a great deal of adverse comment, the- objections being based principally on the danger of having all four'-guns -brown out of service by one successful shot. This danger has been avoided in the Wisconsin by omitting the 8-inch gun from the armament, leaving the heavy turret unhampered, and greatly increasing the weight and efficiency of the secondary battery. An other improvement is the adding of an additional deck for the firstthree-quarters of te ship's giving the Wiscon sin 20 feet of freeboard against the 13 feet 3 inches of the Kearsarge. The turrets of the Wisconsin are oval, with the front plates slightly inclined, and the rear plates vertical. This grves more room for the handling of the guns and for loading appliances, and fs much fighter.

Tne main battery of the Wisconsin will consast' cf 14-inch breech-loading rifles, bu. the removal of the 8-inch guns and the upper turrets permits of the use of a secondary battery of fourteen. 6-inch rifles instead 'of the fourteen 5-inch rifles in the battetiei of the Kearsarge and Kentucky. In addition to. the in-creae in weight, the battery will be mora wldeiy separated, with more complete protection for the gunner.

The Wisconsin will be launched on the 20th of November, and will go Into commission some next year. In obeui-ence to a law enacted by tue Legislature of 1897, Gov. Scofield has appointed a committee consisting of Senator De Wayne Stebbics of Algonia. Dr. J.

C. Reynolds of Lake Geneva and Julius Bleyer of Milwaukee, to raise a fund for the purchase of a gift for the ship, in behalf of the state. This committee is now soliciting subscriptions to the battleship fund, ami it respectfully requests all contributors to send vheir money to the First National. bank, Milwaukee, subject to its order. The committee expects that the people of Wisconsin will contribute at least $3,000, as that amount will be required to do as handsomelyj for the Wisconsin as other states have done for ships which have been named for them.

The superintendent stated to the board that James George had offered to do janitor work at the Second ward kindergarten school for $7 per month. As usual there was a discussion, when a motion was made authorizing the clerk to enter mbo contract for the work.

Cora. Judd wanted the matter referred to a committee, but his motion did not receive a second and the motion to enter into contract prevailed. THE WIND UP. Com. Roggenbau asked for the reading of the contract for the rental of school rooms in, the Y.

M. C. A. building. The clerk read the contract, when Com.

Roggenbau objected to the board renting and payfhg $80 per month for the" rooms, and the Y. M. C. A. people reserving the right they did before, that is using tfie rooms for other purposes at night and at the seme time using the furniture.

5 Com. Judd said that he believed that he could relieve Mr. Roggenbau, and he read a section trora the rules of the board, which provides that when rooms are rented for school rooms they shall be used for no other purpose. Com. Peil spoke at length upon the subject and among other things said that the Y.

M. C. A. folks simply wanted to use the rooms for night school, where poor young men could go and obtain an education, instead of being fa saloons, and that he did not believe in being Lso narrow-minded In the matter aad he believed that when the-question arose that Mr. Roggenbau was present and did not object.

Mr. Roggenbau objected to beFng alluded to as being narrow-minded and Mr. Peil assured him that the allusion was not meant for him, but the board fn gen era and tnat Koggenbau so un derstood it he would then and there apologize Mr. Roggenbau then explained that the furnfture was good and that should things be missed out of tne room no one would know what became of them. I Com.

Jndd stuck in his oar and Com. Freeman called him down for being, out of order. Mr. Roggenbau proceeded to talk some more, when Com. Corse moved to ad journ, but Mr.

Roggenbau begged for time to explain more fully, but the board adjourned and no action was taken in regard to the contract. Mr. Roggenbau believes that he was treated -very discourteously by the board and that he should have been allowed to express nmiself before an adjournment was taken; Withdrawal of Sunday Trains.

There wars a time when the board of education was considered a model organization. Jiarmony was the watch-; word, but it has been changed to what the average person calls "scrapping." A session without a jawing match is rare. Ltit evening an adjourned meeting of the board was held. President Thomas Howell was unable to be present and Com. IVil wa elected chairman.

The flrt confab occurred when the committee to whom wa referied for consideration a report presented by the committees on finance and education of the comon council, at a meeting of the council Aug. 13. The committee reported that they had caremllyVontidered iur report and found that the council committees were in error oo several points of fact.

The-report alleged that a large5 per cent, of present school rooms are used for kindergarten purposes- The committee report that there -are but three of the bine city school buildings ito there are kindergartens. In the Howell school, in which additional room was asked to be flashed, the kindergarten department was removed from the building to make room for primary pupils, as has been the case in at least two ether districts. The council report further states that it is the belief of he com mi tee, at children under school age are attenditog the schools. This the board committee deny and say that it is not true, as no children under 4 years of age, have attended trfe public schools, 4 years being the age tixed by law in this state at which children must be admitted to school. committee goe on and further reports: In pursuance of the object men tioned in tne latter clause of the council's report, viz: "That all our (the council's) efforts be exerted first ia the direction of increasing our publifc school accommodations by enlarging our present school buildings and in erecting new bufldings sufficient to accommodate the children of our city who are of lawful ohoh age," we beg to again call the at- teotion.of the council" to the need more room in the Howell school building for children of "lawful school age," and to repeat onr request for the fitting tip of toe unfinished room in the building.

All the committee signed the report ex eept 1 Com. Bogyenbau and he had a statement to make. He was afraid that the innocent members the dty council would be led fro error by the part of the report Alluding to three rooms being used lor kindergarten. It tnitoht lead ihwn to believe -that there were "Only three kindergartens tue city and he believed that the board should be open and let the council know just what the board are doing. Com.

Murphy said that the board, need not be afraid of stepping on the. toes of the city council. He allowed the council misled the public in their report and tnat the board of education wa jumped on for it. Com. Roggenbau moved that the report be amended and that the kmocent council be informed just how many kin dergarteus there are the city and being paid for.

Com. Clement, as one o4 the committee who signed report, defied any one to show where there was a single 'statement lb the report that was misleading. He ud not believe that the board wis called upon to tell the council how many kin- uergartens there are in the city. There were ail kinds of arguments, but the amendment of Mr." Roggenbau railed to receive a. second and the report, was adopted by rote of 3 to 2 and will be presented to the council.

ANOTHER RACKET. Com. Peil called up the Second ward kindergarten matter; which was appar ently adopted at the last meeting of the board, but there was a section in the rules that made the action questionable, as mere was an expenditure of money. In order to get at the question so that could be put in operation the committee on employment of teachers reported and recommended that Miss Lucy Un church be transferred to be teacher in the kindergarten in the ward school and that' the committee be authorized to temporarily increase per month the salaries of such teachers fci the Third ward school as may be temporarily re- quested lo take charge of two different sets of pupils at the morning and afternoon sessions.
