bridge, but she came over to this city to
secure new dress. She visited Mrs. Van.
Rohr and secured the garment. 1t is not
known whether the article gave perfect
satisfaction, as she did not state that il
fitted her like paper on the wall or like
unto tree box.
She however objected to paying for the
gown. and on this account some little un-
pleasantness originated.
Mrs Van Rohr accused her patron OF
being intoxicated, and also with disturb
ing the peace. The matter went SO far as
to necessitate the presence of the police.
The female disturber, however, is very
healthy, and the police, not being supplied
with derrick, or even having in their
possession bottle of ''anti-fat' medicine,
were at a loss to know how to remove hei
to the armory. She solved the difficulty
by visiting the armorv of her own free
will.
This morning she was fined So and costs
by Justice Cropper.

OSCAR WILDE.

Oscar Wilde, the reigning sensation OF
the lecture platform, lectures in this city
next Saturday evening on THE English
Renaissance" subject that has caused
a revival of art discussion throughout the
principal cities of the United States. II is
quite an unusual event for the sensation

cities, and the citizens of Rock Island
should show their appreciation of the OPP
portunity offered by patronizing the enter
tainment on Saturday evening
D'Oyly Carte. the business manager of
Oscar Wilde. has issued the following
unique announcement:
The visit of Mr.. Oscar Wilde to this
country and his appearance upon the lee
ture platform. has been an event of great
interest this season. He came here chiefly
to show the beginning, growth, and real
aim of the so called aesthetic movement in
England, of which he is by common con
sent considered to be a leader. He has
carried out this purpose by delivering an
address entitled "7He English Renaissance, >
devoted mainly TO all exposition of this
new social movement This address has
been listened to by the largest lecture All
diences which have been seen since the
days of Charles Dickens, and has awaken
ed widespread interest in the poet and
his topic, an interest which is daily becom-
ing stronger. AT the suggestion of many
friends. he has prepared second lecture
devoted to what may be called the practic
al application of this theory to everyday
home life. being the principles of aesthetic
art as applied generally to the wide range
of art ornamentation. 1t is entitled art
Decoration,' and has met with universal
success wherever delivered.
Mr. Wilde designs to return to Europe
in April, and those correspondents who
wish to secure his services seould at once
file their applications. He can accept hut
a limited number of engagements, as he is
in great demand for second lectures in
cities whefe he has already spoken.

Last evening meeting was held at the
Harper House in which t. T. Flagler, Presi-
dent of the Holly works. Mayor Carse, City
Clerk Koehler, Alderman Lundy, Chairman
of the finance Committee and Superinten-
dent of the Water Works Kramer were in
attendance.
The object of the meeting was TO make a
settlement for the new and improved ma
chinery which has recently been placed in
position in the new Cable water works
building.
The original stipulation of the contract
between the city and the Holly Manufac-
turing Company was that $1,000 should be
paid by the 1st of January The non-ar-
rival of the machinery at that date necessi-
tated consultation, which was held last
evening. and a satisfactory arrangement
was perfected.
The city has already paid out $505 1 to
Case, who was, engaged in placing the ma
chine in position, bill of $40S.76 was
paid for freight, and 800 for painting.
These bills aggregating $1,013.95 were
allowed by Mr.. Flagler, but bill of s205.
10 for additional pipe to connect the old
with the new system was not allowed.
1t was agreed that a draft for 50, GOO
should be sent on the first of May, while
the remainder due on the first payment
win depend somewhat on the sale of the
Washington pump, Whose trade may be
effected with the Holly company.

THE STAGE.
Appearance of Keene To-
Morrow Night.
Oscar Wilde and other Ora.
matte Gossip.
T. w. KEENE.

Tomorrow night Thos. w Keene will
appearin Harpers Theatre in Shakespeare
great play of Richard III.
A year ago Mr.. Keene was billed for an
appearance in this city, but was obliged to
| cancel the date in consequence of being
snow bound, which was generally regretted
as his advance sale was one of the largest
ever seen in this city.
| Rock Island citizens will positively have
the opportunity Of witnessing his great
performance tomorrow night. For those
who are unacquainted with Mr.. keene's
career and the qualities which have earn
ed such celebrity, it may be briefly stated
as, originality of conception, which is in
strong contrast with the methods that
characterize the acting of his contempt
raries. He possesses an ability to give ex-
preston to the subtleties of the characters
he assumes, and Evolutionary powers which
can sway an audience at his will.
He has fine stage presence and his
work is marked by intellectually of the
higher order. These are the attributes
which have won for Mr.. Keene the highest
place among Shakesperean actors. His
assumption of RfcAard- is conceded by
Shakesperean students and by the princi
pal critics of the country, to be unrivalled.
Immense audiences have attended Mr..
Keene's performances during his present
tour, and there is little doubt that his re-
ception here will he enthusiastic. One
thing is very noticeable in the accounts of
of Mr.. Keene's appearances which have
been given. Every member of his support
is well spoken of, which is SO remarkable
in these days of travelling dramatic comb
nations, as to be worthy of special men
