THE ANNUAL INSPECTION.
Inspector Reynolds Comes to Kenosha to
Inspect the Life Saving Crew,

The annual inspection of the aKeno-
sha Life Saving Crew occurred Thurs
day afternoon, when w. E. Reynolds,
Inspector in charge of the district,
came here to inspect the crew and to
make some experiments with new
apparatus recently Invented for the
use of the service.
During the afternoon the crew went
through all the maneuvers and drills
according to the usual program, and
although it was very early in the
season the crew made a splendid
showing and was warmly comp1i-
mented on its work. At nightfa11 the
Lyle gun, the spride of the Kenosha
station, was taken out on the beach
and the inspector and the crew made
some experiments with a new shot
which has just been offered to the SER
vice for use in case of wrecks. The
shot is thrown by the Lyle gun'and is
similar to the old fashioned shot. It's
value is made by the fact that the shot
fired from the gun carries with it a
signal light. The tests were partially
successful. The shot with the light
was thrown for three-quarters of a
mile along the beach ands in nearly
every case the light shown brightly
after the shot had landed. Other tests
with the gun were also tried and the
crew showed their proficiency lin this
work.
The inspector announced that the
matter of building new station in
this city was now being considered by
the government and that Superin-
tenGent S. |. Kimba11, who is in charge
of the service on the lakes, had been
ordered to come to Kenosha early in
June to make recommendations
Inspector Reynolds stated that a new
station would either be built at once or
plans will be made for the improve
ment of the present station so that it
will be modern in every way.
Before leaving the city Inspector
Reynolds called on the Mayor and
members of the council and requested
that the City Council pass resolution
asking Congress to take some action
in regard to the passing of the bill for
pensioning life savers. The council
will undoubtedly take this action at
its next regular meeting.

GUILD HALL DEDICATED.
st. Matthew'S Parish Dedicates New Hail.
With Appropriate Ceremonies.

st. Matthew's parish dedicated its
new Guild Hall Thursday evening. A
large crowd, including the pastors of
all the churches of the city and many
prominent mem bers of the different re-
ligious denominations, gathered at
parish upon the success of the under
taking and to take part in the cere-
monies of the dedication. The Vestry
of the church had sent out four hun
dred invitations and the great major
ity of those invited were present. The
ceremonies were simple and impress
sive.
The Rt. Rev. Isaac Lee Nicholson,
Bishop of the Diocese of Milwaukee,
read the dedicatory prayers and psalms
and consecrated the building tothe uses
of the church. Miss Bessie Robinson,
Mrs. H. e. Tanner and double quar-
tette under the leadership of Sam
Newman, choir master of the church,
sang delightfully."-. Bishop Nicholson,
in a short congratulatory address,
comp1imented the n1embe of the par
ish on the splendid result of their la
bors for a suitable Guild Hall and on
the fact that the Guild Hall is prac-
tica11y paid for, enough money having
been already subscribed to pay off the
small amount still due on the build
ing. The Bishop said that heThad not
expected to find SO complete building
and expressed the opinion that the
parish "got good deal for it's money
Rev. Mr.. Mallory spoke in behalf Of
the parish, and Col. w. w. Strong fol
the vestry of the church. After the
exercises were concluded the ladies
served refreshments.
During the evening the entire build
ing was thrown open for the inspec
ton of the guests. The building is
most complete in every detail, even tc
perfectly appointed stage for anna
teur theatricals and entertainments
The entire building, including the
cloak rooms, retiring rooms, dining
room and kitchen, assembly hall and
galleries, is most conveniently ar.
ranged and perfectly equipped and
shows the results of the faithful and
conscientious work of the building
committee. The new Guild Hall fills a
long felt want and the parish is to be
congratulated on having such com.
modious and convenient home for its
different societies and guilds.

Marriage Late IL Life.

It is matter of common talk that
men and women marry later in life
than they did a generation ago Ger
tainly from personal observation we
should suppose that this was true, but
like SO many accepted facts, it is con,
tradicted by statistics.
Forty-fOur years ago the average
man married at an age which only diff
fers to a fractional extent from the
present average, which is 1884. Per
haps we have been too charitable to

posing that they finally get picked up

Judge BeIden Decides the Famous
WheatIand Road Case in Favor
of the Plaintiff.
TOWN IS FOREVER ENIOINED.
McGarry Is Granted $50 in Damages With
Which to Build Another Pence
Across the Roadway.

Judge E. B. Belden handed down a
decision Thursday evening in the suit
of James McGarry against Henry Run
kel and the other members of the town
Board of the town of Wheat1and, by
which a victory is given to McGarry.
He is awarded twenty-five dollars dam
ages, and the town Board is forever
enioined from entering the property or
making an effort to tear downsthe ia
NOUS McGarry fence.
This decision will settle the claims
of the town of Wheatland against
McGarry, and after many years Of
fighting McGarry will probably be al
lowed to enjoy his property on Powers
Lake without any further objection
from the town. On the other hand one
of the roads in the town will be practi-
cally closed up.
The decision of the Judge brings to
an end a fight which has been made
famous in the annals of the town OF
Wheatland. Many years ago when
lake front property in Wheat1and was
regarded as of little value McGarry
purchased a small strip on Powers
Lake. Afterwards the farmers of the
town began to encroach on the prop.
erty with their road and the people on
the south began to encroach on the
road until McGarry's property was
included in the roadway. In due time
McGarry came to claim his property
and built fence out in the road. It
was promptly torn down by the town
board and as promptly McGarry
brought suit against the board and
carried it to the Supreme court and got
a decision.
With this decision he put up his
fence again and in few days the town
board appeared in force and the fence
went down again.
Backed by his decision in court
McGarry brought new suit against
the members of the board charging
them with trespass and claiming
damages for the fence which had been
torn down. This is the suit which the
judge has just decided by granting a
perpetual injunction against the mem
bers of the town board.
There is little reason to believe that
the case will be further contested as
McGarry has shown that both the
Circuit and Supreme courts are on his
side, and with this impeachment the
town board will probably be ready and
willing to let the matter rest. The
road will be fenced in at once and the
town board will have to seek some
other route for the roadway.

sWARTZ WANTS A PARDON.
Prisoner No. $685. Asks Relief From the
Common Council For Hls Family.

Carl Swartz, who was recently sent
to the State prison from this city on
account of his connection with Miss
Emma Becker's disappearance, has
addressed a long communication to the
City Council which is one of the queer
est papers ever received at the city
hall. Swartz not only asks that the
city do something to care for his fami-
ly, which he left behind, by rebating
them pedd1er's license taken out by
Swartz shortly before he was convicted
and sentenced to prison, but he also
declares that he is innocent of all
charges against him and asks the
members of the Council to use their
influence in securing a pardon for him
from Governor LaFollette.
In connection with the letter Swartz
asks some knotty questions which are
supposed to be answered by the Coun-
Gil 1t will probably be necessary for
the Council to cali in the city attorney
and a few of the citizens of the city to
their aid before the questions can be
properly answered.

General Grants Namesake.

A number of years ago a son was
born to colored woman in the south.
and, as he was her first she looked
upon him with pride, and was much
at loss to find a name for him. Rel
atives and friends, including her mis-
tress, were appealed to, but although
many names were suggested, all were
discarded
After many days of deliberation she
said one morning to her mistress
miss Mary, Use found name for
my boy; I'm going to name him De-
licious."
"Why," said the lady, where did
you get that name?"
"Oh,' she replied, I'm going to can
him that cause I want to name him
for Mr. Grant"
When it was explained to her that
the great hero was named Ulysses,
and not Delicious, she was some
what disturbed in mind, but Ulysses
did not please her, so the boy had to
begin life burdened with the name.
