so great the dispatch with which it has
been executed that the city fathers
have actually had time to spend all the
money IN the treasury in paving, and
even in ordering some improvements
on the overdraught. Besides they
have appointed few special police IN
order to insure the preservation OF or
der and to give the senior members of
the force time and opportunity to be
present in body at the prize fights,
thereby keeping those entertainments
within the law and rendering them
highly dignifed and respectable
With the mayor as the guest of honor,
and an alderman as doorkeeper, the
sordid and brutal element has been SO
effectively effaced from these manly
pastimes that the punches of the
p1ugug1ies are rep1ete with poetic
suggestiveness and the vanquished
approaches the knockout as one who
wraps the mantle of his couch about
him and lies down to peaceful dreams.
Under these refining influences the
o6ium will soon be lifted from all such
institutions as prize fights, gambling
dens and dives, thus rendering them
accessible to all, whereas now they
are the exclusive possession and pleas
ure of a few chosen ones. In this way
the present city council and police is
devoting itself to the betterment of
the city. How proud we are of the
whole institution! How glorious the
prospects of a reformed municipal
government and city wherein law is
a reality.

THEIR ANNUAL FEAST
Choir Boys OF St. Matthew's Church
Are Given Complimentary Ban
quet at The Guild Hall.
JoLLIEsT EVENT OF THE YEAR

The Choir and Their Friends Sit Down at
the Festal Board and Enjoy the Evening
with Fun and song-Guild Hall is Turned
Into Play Ground forstne Boys, After
Which a Special Musical Program is
Rendered by Well Known Talent.
The great event in St. Matthew's
| parish, the annual feast of the choir
boys, occurred Tuesday evening at the
! Guild hall, and it is doubtful if a io11ier
event ever happened in the hall.
Together with the older members of
the choir the boys gathered at the
Guild hall little after six O'Clock for
the annual meeting of the organiza-
ton, and after this little formality the
entire evening was given over to the
feast and the attending festivities. AS
has been the custom for many years
, the Guild hall was decorated for the
event with a profusion of evergreen
hung about the walls.
The table, arranged in the form of
cross, reached entirely across the room,
and were a marvel of beauty. The
white cloth was brought into relief by
a countless number of prays of smi1ax
and flowers, and long streamers of red
ribbon was draped in and out among
the dishes loaded dove with good
things furnished by the caterer.
At each place was arranged dainty
bouttonier of carnations for the mem
bers of the choir. The Examinations
for the dinner We're furnished by little
red candles in gold and black candle
abra.
One of the features of the decora-
tons of the table was a large candy
cane weighing over eight pounds,
which was presented to Mr.. Thompson
by Mrs. N. A. Pennoyer. The dinner
was given by Mesdames VIM. Farr,
w. F. Fisher, Nathan Allen, O. M.
Petit, S. Reynolds, N. Rowe, A. ii.
Lance, and Misses Ida Robinson, Bond
and Head. Covers were laid for fifty
and every place was filled. The ladies
who were in charge of the dinner acted
as hostesses during the evening and it
would indeed be hard thing to tell of
all the delightful things done for the
benefit of the choir boys and their
friends.
After dinner was over the tables
were pushed to one side and the guild
hall became a play ground for the boys
and all sorts of games assisted them to
pass an hour of unalloyed pleasure.
Later in the evening a musical pro-
gram was rendered in which selections
were given by Mrs. H. E. Tanner, Miss
Robinson, DR.. Ka1tenbach and Mr..
Hunt
Altogether the feast was the most
enjoyable ever given in honor of the
choir and the boys will always look
back with pleasure to the night when
they gathered around the festal board
for the feast Of 1900.

AFTER EIGHTY YEARS.
Birthday of Jason LOthrOp Celebrated
With a Gathering of Early
Pioneers.
EARLY DAYS WERE RECALLED

Rev. I. w. CorsY Delivers an Address Con-
graduating the Well Ku own Surveyor on
theFact that he had Lived'to See so Much
of the Early Developments Kenosha. =
The Old Songs of the PAST Bring Back
Memories
Tho most notable social event for
some time in this city occurred Satur-
day evening when a number of the
early settlers gathered at the home of
Mrs. Burr, on N. Chicago street, to
assist in celebrating the eightieth
birthday of Jason Lothrop, the vet
eran county surveyor.
AT the dinner table were seated some
of the men who assisted in laying the
broad foundations for the growth of
Kenosha. It was time of memories
OF the past. Mr.. Lothrop, still hale
and hearty at the time of his eightieth
birthday, is indeed the link that con-
meets Kenosha to old Southport. About
the table among the members of the
younger generation, were seated some
whose hair had turned to silver, but
like the veteran surveyor, they were all
hale and hearty and still closely con-
nected with life in this city.
The party was arranged as sur
prise and as such it proved great
success. After an excellent dinner
had been served the party retired to
the par1or, where the remaining hours
of the evening were spent in calling
up the memories of old Southport.
The host of the evening was con-
graduated on his long active career
and many letters were received from
absent friends bearing messages of
congratulation. All the old stories of
those early times were reto1d and could
it be possible to reproduce the talks of
the evening much of the unwritten
history of Kenosha and the men who
have made it what it is would be told
for the first time. While the anecdotes
of the past were being told the little
cottage organ was brought into the
room and with Mrs. O. M. Ca1kins as
accompanist, Mrs. I. w. Corey and
Mrs. Pufer sang some of the songs 50
uCdI W lIIG IlSdIl VI TIC Sd11I SGlGlCl.
"The Old Oaken Bucket" and others
brought a tear of reninescence to
many eyes. After the music was over
Rev. I. W. Corey, OH behalf of those
present, made short address of con-
graduation to the guest of honor.
He referred to the long and active life
of Mr.. Lotlrop in Kenosha, covering
period of over 65 years. He told of
of the various things which Mr.. 10th
rop had done for the people of the city
and ended by expressing the wish that
he might live to see the old surveyor
when the dews of century had settled
on his head. The remainder of the
evening was spent in singing and
social pleasures.
Among those present were Mr.. and
Mrs. George Yu1e, Mr.. and Mrs. O. M.
Ca1kins, Mrs Carrie Ti11ie, Mrs. James
Puffer, Mrs. Robert BUR-, Mrs. James
Lothrop daughter-in-law), of Kewau-
nee, and Mr.. and Mrs. I. W. Corey.
The party broke up at nine o'clock.
All shook hands and carried with them
the remembrance Of a pleasant even
ing wortl1i1y spent.

A LARGE IRON WORKS.
1t Is Reported That One Is Investigating
Kenosha as Place to Build Factory.

One of the well known real estate
dealers of the city in speaking with a
representative of this paper last eve
ming stated that he had it from reliable
sources that large iron works was
considering this city as a place for the
building of a mammoth plant. AS yet
the plans of the company are still in
embryo and the infOrmer of the reporter
refused to allow him to divulge all the
plans which have been made public to
a number of real estate men interested
in the location of the plant in this city.
1t is known however that the company
has large financial backing and that
it has been organized for the purpose
of bucking the trust. One of the agents
of the company has been in Kenosha
for several months and has been look
ing for a place for the location of the
big plant. The company are not ask
ing any favors from the city, but are
simply seeking a location for which
they are willing topay the full market
price. 1t is understood that the COM
pany have their eyes on large tract
of ground near the site of the old bed
ding works, but as yet they have not
taken an option on the tract. IT is the
plan of the company to build in the
early spring. Persons interested in
the location of the plant can receive a
little further information by calling at
this office.

THERE was never young orator
bidding for fame that did not get
gsTC5ced on. It was the case with Dis
mzei and Demosthenes and multitude
of lesser lights of the forum who have
had to fight their way through sneer
@z115 censure up to esteem and consider
alton. OF actual weaknessee the
American people of the present day
are more tolerant than people were in
the days of Disrae1i, but of the disad-
2gantages or misfortunes of those who
possess abundance of ability and give
promise of great things, the spirit OF
rivalry and jealousy, even where 1t
$ seems the least excusab1e, is only too
.quick to take advantage. AS a conse-
queuce young Beverage, who, in his
speech before the Senators last Tues
day, showed unquestionable talent,
eyill have to put up with good deal OF
getty criticism and reflections upon his
youth and immature Judgment.
AN instance of the above is found in
zan editorial in the Evening Wisconsin,
avaich finds evidence of the exceeding
zTouth of Mr.. Beveridge in the fact that
.3za spoke of Aguinaldo as a Malay
SSElla. The Wisconsin puts itself to
considerable pains to point out the
atUocious error into which the Sena-
tors youth led him when he hkened
tEac Filipino leader to the Roman Syl1a.
However, in doing this, it seems that
the Wisconsin has quite ably cleared
She Senator of the charge it made
against him. While seeking to make
SyIlR out to be something far different
han Aguina1do, the Wisconsin says of
nina that he was "Bo1d, grand, savage,
Il eaatura1 Dictator" and adds that he
WAS F'crue1 and despotic." Senator
8eyeridge said of Aguinaldo: ''He is
able, brave resourcefu1, cunning, am
,z9i2ious, unscrupu1ous and nasterfu1.
He is full of decision, initiative and
szu9hority. He is natural die
9atgr- His ideas of government are
absolute orders, implicit obedience or
Traz mediate dea tn" The Wisconsin re-
zates that Sy11a butchered 5000 Roman
citizens in front of the Senate House.
"A aaIna1do planned to butcher the for
4-iguers in Manila.
Taken in all it looks very much as if
&Ize Wisconsin had made out very
goed case for the young Senator from
Indiana The editorial makes mention
Of the fact that Sy1la was a scholarly
and cultivated man with the largest
library an Rome. In his turn Bever-
Gdg3 was careful when he spoke of
Aguiualdo as MALAY" Sy1la. There
is quite a difference between the
Malay and the Roman. For the sake
eaf fairness to the young man it must
sac added that the comparison, in the
Eight of the facts given by the Wis
comsin, was very apt one. At1east it
ia a far better piece of work than that
