olliccrs WHO arc III the act OF taking a
prisoner to Jail, in u manner that interiors
seriously in the one case with the conduct
OF a trial, and in the other with the officer
in the discharge Of his duties. Police
magistrates and officers do not like to dis.
perse the crowds from the court rooms and
sidewalks because they are aware that
court proceedings and public arrests are
things that people have right to witness,
even though they often shock the sensi.
bilities of the coarsest; yet this right is
shamefully abused by persons who ought
to know better. It is probably true that
all have u right to witness public trial,

that they arc priviledgcd to

SUNDAY SCHOOLS.
The County Convention now
in Session.
Proceedings Of the Meeting
Last NIGHT.
What was Accomplished du-
ring the Day.

The Union Sunday school convention OF
Rock Island county held its initial session
last evening, at the First Baptist church OF
this city. The attendance was only fair,
and not as large as the originators had
reason to anticipate, or as the Importance
and merits of the meeting would warrant.
The few energetic workers in this do
main of the religious world are firmly inn
pressed with the idea that the Sabbath
school bears the same relation to religion
as the ordinary primary schools to educa-
ton; that the universally of the former
and its general utility, answers the ques
tion of chow shall the masses be reached?'
In this light the effort is being made to
excite some general interest in the Sunday
school work at home, and the present con
vention is it's most immediate result.
The convention will continue to day,
when four sessions will be held, and an
adjournment will be taken this evening.

IMPROVEMENTS.

Mr. I. Negus, owner Of the Rock Island
House, is making some improvements to
that establishment which will be generally
appreciated by the travelling public. The
interior of the Office, reading and dining
rooms are undergoing repairs that will rem
der them more attractive and comfortable.
The improvements consist in panel decora-
tons for the walls, and varied pattern OF
paper for the ceilings.
The sewerage system has also been re-
constructed on new and improved plan,
and the contractors Davis & Co, as well
as those competent to judge. claim that il
is the most perfect system in operation
west of Chicago.
1t is expected that the main entrance
will also receive some attention and few
changes will be made that will add mater
tally to the comfort and enjoyment of the
guests of the house.

CAPTAIN HAvERSTICK.

In noting the death of Capt. Haverstick,
of this city, the Peoria Journal has the fol-
lowing:
We see by the telegraph that Capt L.
M. Haverstick is dead. The deceased was
for long time the proprietor of the Rock
Island Union, and was well known all
over the west. He was a strong and Wig
orous writer, and was for years postmaster
at Rock Island. He possessed an enor-
nous capacity fer work, and in his best
days was equal to anything in the news
paper line. His intense application finally
brought On an affection of the eyes that
nearly drove him blind and he left the
paper to go into the pottery. Here he
failed, and he went back into the news
paper line, as editor of the Moline DIS
patch. in which position he remained until
the time of his death. Had he given that
attention to business which he unfortu-
nately devoted to politics, he would have
been "A rich man; but he made the dnfortu-
nate mistake, so common among news
paper men, of thinking that an editors
first duty is to his party, and after that to
his paper. 1t is fatal error, and Haver-
stick only illustrates it in its strongest
light.

ADJUSTMENTS.
MASCOTTE.

Last evening Harper's Theatre was
crowded with a refined audience to witness
the second production of Audran's comic
opera of the ''Mascotte" by the Fay Tenn
pleton opera troupe. Only few weeks
ago this company rendered that piece in
Rock Island, and SO general was the salts
faction that the troupe was induced to
return and reproduce their successful
opera.
Fay Templeton appeared as Bitttaa, q
character well suited to Miss Templeton
both on account of the score and also
because of the dramatic opportunities
which it offers. Miss Templeton has a
contralto voice of great compass and sweet
ness, and she was particularly happy in
her rendition of the role last evening. An
improvement was noted in her perform
ance last evening over that given on her
last appearance, and as she has talent and
