Orphan's Prayer and Wisconsin Legislatures in 1885
A poetic lament on a homeless boy near the lake at night contrasts with Wisconsin politics and society notes. Chief topics include the 1885 Madison legislature, its chaplains, expenses, and the rebuilding of Science Hall, plus social visits by Gov Rusk and Vilas, and upcoming events at the Park Hotel with Prof Anderson heading to Denmark.
