THE FITZGERALD PARTY.
The Last Great Social Eventg Before the
Lenten Season.


Lenten Season.
The last party before lent occurred
on the evening of Washington's birth
day. Fitzgerald furnished the music;
six pieces, which was considered as
fine as anything ever brought out in
KenOsha.
t Central Music hall was Hastily and
appropriately decorated fer the ocoa-
sion, being hung with evergreen and
the flags of all nations were hung from
the walls while the chandeliers were
trimmed with U S. flags. Flowers
were in abundance. Something over
100 guests were present who danced to
the exquisite music until about mid
night when refreshments were served,
after which the dancing was again in
dulged in until the wee sma hours.
The costumes worn by the ladies
were elegant and imposing in the eX-
treme, some of them being veritable
dreams of beauty, but as our society
editor is on the sick list we do not dare
try to describe them.
We will leave our readers to imagine
as best they can the scenes of lively
animation beneath the brilliant lights
when neatly attired gentlemen and the
brilliantly cOstumed ladies whirled
about in light fantastic. Most of us
have witnessed such scenes when they
hardly seemed real for the dazzle and
glory of it all. 1t is such visions the
imagination will have to paint for the
Fitzgerald party of Monday night
One of the features of the evening
which pleased the young people, par
ticularly, was the fact that there were
several of the married people present
as spectators, and took part in the
dance.
Among those who were present from
abroad were Messrs. Hand, Adams,
Horlick, Cowling, Roadway and Misses
Sinclair Hand, Horlick and Mrs.
Edwards Baker, all Of Racine; while
Milwaukee was represented by Messrs.
Marsh, Dexter and W. Quarles; Messrs.
Farr and Magill and Misses Kellogg
and Barnum were there from Wauke-
gan; Messrs. Dunlop, S. Kehlor, I'll.
Kehlor, Anderson, Simmons, Lance
and Mrs, Grace and Miss Dunlop, of

OPINIONS NOT ALIKE.
CITIZENS TELL WHERE TO PUT
THE ELECTRIC ROAD.
MANY FAVOR MAIN STREET
The General Run of Opinions Concerning
the Streets and Places Thought Best
For the City to Place the Street
Railway On

This paper is trying to get an ex-
preston of opinion of the people in
regard to the street upon which the
Electric line should run. We are try
ing to see as many as possible but We
are unable to see everybody and we
would be pleased to receive opinions
from anyone we fail to interview The
returns thus far show large majority
in favor of Main street. Below are q
few more opinions to add to those OF
Saturday nights issue:
William F. Fisher-If the road is to
be a benefit to the city We want it on
the best street in the city. If not we
don't want it there.
Matt Huck Put it on the lake front.
Let them build on the breakwater and
be compelled to keep that in good
repair.
j. A. Kennard Main street.
George D. Head Main street.
E. L. Grant Why, put it on Main
street, of course.
N. j. Lauer-f it comes down Mil
waukee avenue put it on Main street
George M. Melville Put it on Main
street.
Charles II. Goodman Main street.
E. FL. HOLSTER Main street, but we
must have local service reaching
Kemper hall and the factories.
DR.. Farr-Main street
Nicholas Buchman-Keep it off Main
street, and run it straight through the
city via Caledonia street and Ashland
avenue.
Myron A. Baker, believe it should
go down Main street. That is the place
for it.
lie. Hackley & Son Put it on Main
street, Market street and Ashland ave
nue..
O. M Calkin8-Put it down through
Main street.
w. FL. Drake Milwaukee avenue,
Main street, Chicago street and out
east of the cemetery.
Henry Grube-If it is to be a passen-
ger road we want it on Main street.
DR.. Andre-It belongs on the best
street in town, Main street.
P. G. Torrey-East of Main street.
Quite a number of those who were
approached today were very reticent
about the matter and would express no
opinion whatever for publication. One
gentleman said that if the aldermen,
who had spent so much time and
thought upon the matter were unable
to decide the matter he would be I'M
able to settle it for them. Still others
would not say even as much as that
Owing to the refusal of many to ex-
press any opinion on the matter this
paper will not push the matter any
further in that direction, but the invi-
tation is still open to the public to
express itself on the question as it sees
fit. Send in your communications and
not wait until the matter is all settled
and start out to kick about the settle
ment. Have your say before hand.
The matter is now very properly under
public discussion. SO go at it and
discuss it.

To the husbands and wives who
are here tonight, who are eligible to
membership, but who are not yet asso-
ciated with us in full fellowship | ex-
tend hearty greeting and cordial
| invitation to join us before our next
meeting. By doing this you will per-
| form great work for future genera
tiOns, even though you should appear
TO be iconoclasts. There is probably
not one of you who does not honestly
believe that your ancestor was an aide
on the staff of George Washington.
Now | want you to help reduce the
number of Washington's staff, and this
you .an easily do by getting the official
record of your ancestors service. II
family traditions are to be believed
Washington must have had about
5000 aides, but our societies are do
ing noble work in reducing that num-
Der. 1t has already been reduced
about 80 per cent, and the balance will
soon be wiped out if you will assist.
There will then be added that number
to the fighting force of the Continental
army. Now won't you please look up
your ancestors record and take him off
the staff. The governors of the several
states will appoint enough staff officers
to keep up the supply for many years to
come.
Immediately following the song,
I" Libertas ct Patria, :" the whole COM
pany repaired to another room where
James Cavanagh read from John
Fisktis history a selection on the first
election, first Inauguration and first
inaugural address. This was not on
the regular program, but it fitted in so
appropriately that f. L. Grant read
" The Coming Of the Mayfower" and
" Winning independence, selected
from the poem, !" Out of the West" by
Sidney Laniers.
Mrs. Cavanagh then sang :" Hail
Columbia" all joining in the chorus.
All sang . Red, White and Blue" and
is. G. Newman sang as a solo Star
Spangled Banner" and all joined in
the chorus.
During the singing of these songs
patriotic ardOr was thoroughly aroused
in every breast, and by the time it be-
came necessary for the company to
break up every one felt that the
Dau j. aand Sons were as good en-
tertainers as ever lived.

THE COLONIAL CONCERT.
A Big Crowd Enjoy Washington's Birth
day at the Baptist Church.

Big CrOWQ ENJOY washington 61rIu-
day at the Baptist Church.
Washington's birthday was properly
celebrated at the Baptist church Mon
day evening by the giving of supper
from $50 to o'clock and filling in the
remainder of the evening with a colo
NAL concert. A large number of peo-
pie availed themselves of the supper
and were served with q very fine
spread. The tables were neatly deco
rated in red, white and blue. At each
place was white napkin trimmed with
a neat red and blue bow. The chan
deliers were bedecked with tidy braids
of red, white and blue and streamers of
it were draped from the side walls of
the dining room.
Immediately following the supper the
guests all congregated in the church
auditorium and were treated to a fine
program of musical numbers. All the
numbers were we'll received, though the
audience had been requested not to en-
core any of them. The whole was
closed by speech by Rev. |. W. Corey
in which he made several illusions to
the patriotism of his people. He said
his recent trip to Canada had cured all
his home sickness for that country and
now that he had fully adopted America
as his home he desired the audience to
sing g America" and he would join in.
This was done with will by every
body present.

QUEER REQUEST FROM VIRGINIA

Jordan Elicit, of Sawyer's Road, Camp
bell county, Virginia, wrote to Sheriff
Heller, Monday, and asked,h him to do him
a little favor. He has a son Benjamin
living here and doing for himself and as
the boy is only eighteen years old the
old man wants to get the boys money.
He is willing that Benjamin should be
left enough to pay his board and wash
ing, but he a the rest. The old man
therefore requests the Sheriff to gar
nishee Benjamin's wages every week,
give him enough to pay for his board
and washing, take out his own legal ex-
penses and send him what is left. AS
Benjamin is said to be earning about IS
a week 1t would take rhe father a long
time to accumulate a fortune from his
share Elicit says in the beginning of
his letter that the boy is throwing WAY
his none and at the close HI says he
understands that Benjamin is saving 1t
up to buy a horse and wagon and go in
business for himself. The Sheriff threw
the letter in the waste basket.

Catholic Club Cyclers Too
Much for Them at
Home Alleys.
PALMA LOST TO ELIZABETH
A Big Rifle Tournament-Prize
Winners at Chass-Match at
Switchboard - Hand
ball Games.

The Catholic Club defeated the Clio
Wheelmen last night in two games of
the New Jersey Cycling Association
League. and have taken the lead in the
record. The teams got together last night
on the Catholic Cfub alleys and the meet
ing was the most eventful that has taken
place in this city. Many important
games have been rolled but never at n
games was such a noisy demonstration
made. This Clos visited the c.. c.. al
leys in great lumber and with their boot
ing expected to rattle the home team
and take from them one game and possi-
bly, two. which would have given them the
championship Of the league. They failed
in this, but did not yield ever when the
margin was so strongly against them,
and yelled defiance even to the last. 1t
was a great contest, and one in which
some clever work was done 1t was pre-
dicted that the nome team would have
to put up some high figures in order to
hold the visitors. They were capable of
1t, however, and sent the pins in all di-
rections, rolling out some remarkably high
figures. In both games they beat the 500
mark by a large margin and backed by
a big delegation assisted by the Mantle
Wheelmen. who Joined forces with the
Catholic Club, they made things decided
ly lively for the visitors, and while the
team showed themselves the better bow
lers the rocters proved themselves equal
ly competent and the Clos were given a
hard race for the honors even at this.
A number of songs were composed for
the occasion. but the Wheelmen dropped
the notes when the Catholic Iii began
tc forge ahead, and thereafter devoted
their efforts to yelling the Gazinck
charms. The Clios started off in great
shape in the opening anne and had the
advantage for our frames, and the mem
bers cheered themselves hoarse. The
home team got down to business, and in
the remainder of the game put quite a
margin between them, and their oppon-
ents winning at the close of the tenth
frame by 20 pins. Sam Coffman and
Herman Heye closed in the 200 mark.
The rolling of Duke and Ruddick was off
color and neither got to the 40 mark. 1t
was the only chance for success, as the
Clos after leading ON the opening frame
of the next frame dropped behind on the
second and were never in the game. The
same speed was retained by the Catholic
Club in the second game that marked the
first and again the team finished in the
$50 mark only five pins below their first
score. A strange coincidence was that
Sam Coffman reached POP, the same figure
OF the first game. Andrew Wright did
well. and filled in with only one break
In the 20 frames By winning these
games the Catholic Club is in the lead,
and as they only have two more games
away from home will need to win only
one to give them the championship. The
scores Were:-
