CHOIR BOYS FEAST.
ST. MATTHEW'S CHOIR HOLD THEIR
ANNUAL CELEBRATION.
JoLL1EsT EVENT OF THE YEAR.
walls of the Guild Hall Resound for Sew
eral Hours With the Happy
Voices of the Choir Boys
and Their Friends.

The choir boys Of St. Matthe us
church held their annual feast at the
Guild hall Wednesday evening.
The feast is always considered the
iolliest event of the year, for with II
comes an evening of uninterrupted
pleasure and merriment. The boys
of the choir are well deserving of such
feast, for Sunday after Sunday IN
their SUPPLIES they assist in the eerv
ices of the church and their only re-
ward is the splendid banquet given
every year in their honor.
The ladies do everything in their
power to make this feast the one great
event in the boys year, and their
efforts have always met with unquali-
fed success. The feast on Wednesday
evening was no exception to the rule,
and the boys declare that it was a most
pleasant event indeed.
The feast was prepared and served
by Mesdames VIM. F. Fisher, W. NJ.
Farr, O. M. Calkins, Williams, Nathan
Allen, Chas. Sieg and Frederick Robin
son. It was very elaborate, and the
ladies certainly deserve great credit
for the splendid supper and entertain
ment which they prepared for the
boys.
In honor of the occasion the hall
was very prettily arranged and the
table. which was covered with spotless
linen, was arranged in the form of a
cross.
The table was decorated with smilax
and flowers artistically intertwined
among the dishes and the whole was
Illuminated by countless number of
candles in pretty candleabra Rev.
Harry Thompson, Rector of the church
and director of the choir presided
and covers were laid for fifty guests.
Besides the choir boys who had jolly
time indeed there sat around the table
the ladies of the choir together with
their husbands.
The dinner over Mr.. Thompson acted
as POSTMASTER and paid the boys many
compliments for the loyal service dur
ing the year and stated that it was a
great pleasure for the church to show
their appreciation of their work in this
way. Other short talks were made by
Messrs. VIM. Fisher, C. c. Brown,
Chas. Sieg, Nathan Allen and James
Cavanagh.
After the tOasts the guild hall was
turned into great play ground and
the boys and their friends indulged in
every kind of game known in the cate
CORY of boys sports. Just before the
annual feast the choir held a business
meeting and elected officers for the
wear

Wisconsin's New Senator.

1t is gratifying to note, that IN the
case of one State Senatorial deadlock
has been broken successfully, and with
the result of giving the nomination to
man who appears to be worthy. Joseph
V. Quarles, the nominee of the Repub-
lican caucus of the Wisconsin Legisla-
ture, is a man of good record and re-
puted ability. He is not a political
boss, and he seems to have held his own
in the midst of the legislative in
triguing largely on the strength OF his
merits and his deserved popularity.
Many influential interests were opposed
to him, and at least one OF the candl-
dates had all the advantages which
come from wealth and strong political
and financial backing. AS it became
evident that the deadlock must be
broken, however, the Legislators rallied
to the support of the man who prom
ised to stand best with the mass of the
people. Mr.. Quarles will go into the
Senate as a peOple's candidate. 1t can
hardly be hoped that the example will
be needed in some of the other States
where deadlocks are pending, but
every choice like that which has been
made in Wisconsin has exemplary in
luence. The people do not want
bosses; they want capable men who are
not so absorbed in personal and mon
eyed interests that they cannot take an
interest in the needs of the people, and
particularly in the oountry's need for
genuinely popular" representation in
the United States Senate. The success
of Quarles in Wisconsin, like that of
Beverage in Indiana, is hopeful

DISCUSSED LAGRIPPE.
Kenosha County Medical Association Hold
An Interesting Meeting.


The Kenosha County Medical Asso-
citation held very interesting meeting
Friday evening at the parlors of the
Grant House. The subject of the
evening was the prevailing malady,
LaGrippe and DR.. Jorgenson read a
very interesting paper on this subject.
The doctor discussed the subject from
a scientific standpoint, showing how
influenza was resultant from microbes
living in the air and developed in near
Iy every sort of climate. He said that
scientific research had proved that the
microbes producing such disease were
easily generated and especially so is
this true in. moist climates. He said
that the general movements of such
diseases had Deen discovered to be
from north west to southeast.
He also spoke of the cures and offer
Cd many new suggestions for the con
sideratlon of the doctors.
The paper was followed with very
interesting discussion in which all the
members of the association took part.
After the literary meeting the doc
tors held business meeting at which
the by laws of the association were
amended.

IN response to an invitation to Ke
nOsha in order that the old friends and
acquaintances of his native town nigh
pay their tribute of esteem and good
wishes, Hon. j. Y. Quarles writes that
he will be unable, through pressure of
business, to accept. Though the wish
was father to the thought that be
might possibly find time to revisit old
haunts and receive the congratulations
of those who feel supreme pleasure in
his success, the anxiety was generally
felt that the Senator elect would be
unable to spare necessary time from
the rest which he needs and the
duties which have the first claim on
his attentions. However, there is time
yet, and whenever Senator Quarles
comes to KenOsha, whether it be this
month or six years hence, the town will
be ready to give him loyal reception.

PREMIER SAGASTA has been telling
the Spanish Cabinet that President
Mckinley fears the treaty will be
defeated and apprehends resistance on
the part of the Philippine insurgents.
The Premier is mistaken on both points,
but he has some excuse for bis mis-
apprehension. The President does not
look for the defeat of the treaty, nor
does any other friend Of expansion.
The President does not expect serious
resistance in the Philippines. Here is
some of the evil influence of the HOars,
Hales, Masons and the other allies of
AguinaldO in the Senate. These OBJ
structiOnists have given some hope to
Spain that a new treaty will have to be
framed, and that she will get better
terms in the next one than she has in
this. They have also melted the
Philippine chief to rebel against the
United States authority. In both
particulars, however, the obstruction
lists will fail. The treaty will be rati-
fed. 1t will, when the test comes on
February 6, have more than the requis-
tie two thirds vote. And AguinaldO
will not fght.--St. Louis Globe Dem

all danger will be avoided. Among
