CHRISTIAN NOTES.

The good people of Jackson, Mich, are
casting about to provide for $50 Methodist
preachers during the conference to be held
here.
The Baptists of Sweden have held their
triennial conference in Stockholm. Repre-
sentatives of 800 churches and &c, 900 COM
municants were present.
The Friends of England have taken a
new departure by holding a sort of re-
yival meeting in a large tent. There was
very large attendance and very great in
terest.
The first Bishop of Davenport. the Rev.
DR.. McMullin, is said to have keen gray
eyes, that are full of unaffected kindness
Although stout in figure, he stands straight
and walks sturdily, having no loose
flesh
The Archbishop of Canterbury has re-
ceived monster protest against the further
liberation of ritualism in the English
church. 1t bore the signature of $4,000
laymen, including men of every rank, from
the noble to the peasant.
The Old Catholics in Europe have grown
from the IS who protested, at Nuremberg.
in 1870 under the leadership of DIR. Dol
linger, against the latest papal innovation
on the Catholic faith. to church consist
ing of two bishops. 1872 priests and upward
of 100, 900 enrolled lay members, with ad
herents more or less closely attached
amounting to three tiaes that number.
The chime of bells for Trinity church,
Davenport, is composed of ten tolls,
weighing 1000 pounds; the largest, or
tower bell. to weigh 5000 to cost 81, 800.
The inscription will be: This chime of

Whitley & Selleck. who constituted firm.
Selleck is the fair Florence's latest husband.
He was formerly the editor of newspaper
but, sad to relate, did not behave himself
in the exemplary manner characteristic to
the profession. In an evil hour he eloped
with the actress. Her husband contented
himself with getting a divorce, and Sci
leck was allowed to retain undisputed
possession of his affinity. He be-
came one of the managers of the
company, and has travelled with it in that
capacity ever since Recently, however,
the pretty piano player has received the
lions share of his attentions. The
Herbert 'tumbled to the racket, y disbanded
the company at Chicago, and turned Sci
leck out in the cold. A week ago yester-
day, she commenced a new season with a
reorganize1 company, under the sole man
agement of Mr.. John Whitley. Selleck
has been incontinently bounced from man
agerial and matrimonial privileges, and
has now absolutely nothing to do with the
company. He tells those who are of an
inquiring mind, that his wife is only under
Whitely's management temporarily, and
that she will soon get sick of it. On the
other hand, it is claimed in Whitely's
behalf that whatever success the Herbert
may have met with, is in a great measure
attributable to his good management, and
it is improbable that Selleck will be again
received with favor. The piano player
has cooked his goose, and the balance of
the poultry have come to roost.

POLICE IMPROVEMENT.

The well known efficiency of the Roci
Island police force under the command OF
Marshal Miller has been greatly improved
by the detailing of officer bunker to dc
service at the police headquarters during
the day, and part of the night.
The public who have occasion to make in
quiries at the station during the day by
telephone or in person will have reason to
appreciate the change, as there will be in
the future an officer constantly on duty a
that point, not only to answer questions
and give all the information required. but
also in case of an emergency to make ar.
rests and perform the general police
duties.
By the new arrangement Marshall Mil
Ter viii be enabled to be around the city
during the day and assistant Marshall
Brennan will also be given an opportunity
to inspect the city by night.
1t is expected that the change will result
in the increased efficiency of the police
force

JUDICIAL CONFERENCE.

A judicial conference of the Methodist
Episcopal church will be held in Terre
Haute ON Nov. 80, Bishop Randolph S. Eos
ter presiding. This is the conference which
tries appeals from the decisions of the an,
nual conference, and it is before this con
ference that the appeal of DR.. Thomas will
likely be taken. It will be remembered
that DR.. Thomas appealed from the decis
ion of the Rock River conference, which
expelled him, and his appeal will in all
probability be heard by this judicial con
ference on the Both instant.
The trlers of appeals appointed by the
Illinois conference are Rev. w. Fl. II.
Moore, of Normal; DR.. James Leaton, NJ.
d. Halves, of this city; W. II. Webster,
w. Nick. McElford, James Shaw and D.
w. English. These gentlemen will con-
stitute part of the judicial court of APP
peals.

A Successful Burglary last
Night.
Meeting of the HOMEOPATHIC
Association to-day.

other local lines.
BURGLARY,

Last night thieves entered the residence
of Rufus Walker, on the corner of Second
avenue and Nineteenth street and after
enjoying a supper d the expense Of the
house owner, proceeded to ransack the
premises for anything of valuable and
portable nature that could be found.
The burglars secured an entrance to the
house by means of window located in the
dining room. Having gained this room
they made themselves perfectly at home,
revived the fire in the kitchen stove and
had midnight supper. After the meal,
they searched the different rooms, even en-
tering the sleeping apartments of occu
pants of the house They failed to arouse
the sleepers and walked off with several
articles of silvcrware and some trimming
found in the dining room
A sum of money was left untouched in
one of the bureau drawers, as the robbers
in opening the drawer had overlooked the
money which was lying on the marble
slab.
At a late hour this afternoon no trace OF
the burglars had been discovered.

MEDICAL MEETING.

At a late hour this afternoon the quar-
terly meeting of the Homeopathic clinical
association of this district was held in the
parlors of the Rock Island house.
The attendance was small in comparison
to the number expected. but can be ac-
counted for both by reason of the bad roads
and also the peculiar and exacting duties
of the various members.
The meeting was called to order, and
then followed the reading of the minutes
of the last quarterly meeting.
No set programme had been arranged
for the meeting, and after an informal dis
cussion of several subjects connected with
the association, DR.. W. A. Paul, of this
city, read carefully prepared thesis on
several topics, including burns, gun shot
wounds, lacerated perinaeum and indolent
ulcers.
1t is probable that night sessio will be
held at the same place this evening.
