This company will present the Chimes
of Normandy at Harper's Theatre Friday
evening Jan. 90. Popular prices will pre-
vail, so, rs cents and one dollar, no extra
charge for reserved seats. The opera is a
charming one, one of the best of English
opera and the following from the Phila-
delphia Telegram shows what opinion was
had in that city of the company:
'The performance of Chimes of Nor
mandy which was given at the Chestnut
Street Opera House last night was, i'll
many respects, the most satisfactory OF
any yet given in this city. The piece has
been well sung and well acted before, but
not by the same performers. Last night
the acting and the singing were both very
good indeed, and the performance went of
in excellent style and to the delight of q
large audience This opera is really q
capital piece of work in its particular line.
The plot is very amusing and the music is
both very lively and very pretty The
leading parts were well represented last
night by Henry Peakes, Mark Smith, j. G.

ised to do better. We will not mention
any of the names, but simply give some OF
the circumstances which led to the affair
It appears there is a well-to-do married
man in this city who is in the habit OF
spending his evenings down town with
jovial and genial companions. A few choice
spirits, like himself, conceived the idea
that it would be fine thing to form CLUB
and fit up room where they could go and
play cards, smoke cigars, and do other
things to pass off the time, while their
wives were at home sewing on buttons ana
mending stockings. and brooding over
their loneliness. She was woman OF IN
ventive genius-what woman is not!-and
soon conceived the idea that it would be o
good thing to have company too NO
sooner had the idea taken root than she
thrust the stockings and shirts aside ana
prepared her house for the reception or q
few invited guests who would by their
presence make her castle pleasant and
agreeable Things went on swimmingly
for while, when an intimacy sprung up
| between the lady of the house and one of
her guests, young man of beautiful exte-
rior, and who parted his hair in the middle,
and used beef marrow highly perfurred to
make his raven locks lay smooth and give
| it an odor that was killing. This intimacy
ripened into love- The husband was con-
stantly absent and the lonely woman must
have some one to love, and as she had lost
her snow white poodle few months before,
she took the aforesaid young man into her
confidence and lavished upon him all the
warmth of her tender and gushing heart.
To make the story short 1t need only be
stated that an elopement was planned and
| all the arrangements made to bid farewell
to her home and the husband who had SC
carelessly neglected her. The husband sus
pected something wrong and kept watch
on the actions of his wife, and was just in
time to detect the plot of desertion. He
charged her with perfdy and there was {
scene. Finally the matter was settled oy
the wife's returning to her home duties
and the husband promising that he would
give up his down town" companions ant
seek the society of his wife. The Leader
may state that the last estate IN this house
hold promises to be better than the first.

MASONIC VISIT.

The Monmouth Re0feao gives this descrip-
ton of the recent visit of the masons of
this city to that burg:
THE members Of Barrett chapter royal
arch masons, Rock Island, with their fam
lilies, visited the members of Warren chap
ter, Monmouth, last. Tuesday evening.
The invited guests were met at the depot
by committee of royal arch masons from
Warren chapter and escorted to the Bald
win house, where most elegant banquet
had been prepared for them. The visiting

bered fortytwo persons. Addresses of
welcome were delivered by Judge Porter,
J. E. Alexander and D. D. Dunkle, which

versation and dancing, which was kept up

Very drunk and very happy were the
two swedish representatives from Moline
that visited the bleak and inhospitable
shores of Rock Island yesterday. They
had come to spend the day and enjoy the
sights and pleasures of the city and pro
ceeded at once to do so. All would have
been wellwith them and their visit here a
source of joy and pleasuraEle remembrance
had they not, in their quest of enjoyment,
called in the aid of too much tanglefoot
whisky mad in consequence they came to
grief.
Having an idea that as they had through
operations of law, become citizens of this
great aud glorious country, that they
could do as they pleased with govern
ment property they betook themselves to
the island and there behaved themselves in
a manner unbecoming Americans and
gentlemen exposing their persons TO the
women passing and otherwise misbehaving
themselves in manner actuated by bad
whisky and not by the best rules of social
and religious ethics. Consequently they
were taken in charge and spent the night
in the cold department of the armory
where they had an opportunity to reflect
upon the error of their ways, and mediate
upon an expected interview with Justice
Cropper in the morning.

the introduction of the disease from Me
nard county.
Rev. Mr.. Hadley, previously reported
dying of small pox, near Athens, Menard
county, had holiness meeting" at a
house in this city on Sunday night Ashe
was then in the eruption state it is feared
those in attendance have been infected.
The family where he stopped were vacci-
mated to-day, and, by advice, the Mayor is
having search made for those who were at
the meeting. and will have them vaccinat-
ed as soon as found. At meeting of
the board of health of this city held this
afternoon a resolution was passed appoint
ing three of the members and three police
men to vaccinate those who attended the
''holiness meeting" Sunday night. Ii any
refuse they will be arrested and sent to
place for observation until the period of
incubation has passed. All will be under
the surveillance of the board for at least
ten DAYS. 1t was also ordered that all the
city officers and employees be vaccinated,
and it was recommended that hotel en-
ployes and employees Of manufacturing
establishments be treated in like man
ner.
In the revised vaccination order for
schools issued to-day, the following COM
ments are made upon the careless manner
of vaccinating pursued by some physicians
at should be, and with most physicians
it undoubtedly is, unnecessary to urge the
Importance of examination at proper in
terval after the operation. Such eXamina-
ton should be always made, because,
among other reasons, without it the vaccI-
nator deprives himself of the only proof OF
the value of the virus employed, and his
vaccinees may thence be reposing in a
false, possibly a fatally false, security.
Unfortunately all members of the profess
sion are not so careful as they. should be
on this point. Since this order, two child
rem of prominent citizen of Chicago have
died from smallpox, as a direct result OF
neglecting such an obvious precaution.
These were school children, and in obedi-
ence TO the usual requirements had been
vaccinated Certificates were furnished at
the time of the operation. After they
were attacked it was ascertained that the
operation had not been successful, nc
trace but the so-called certificate" re
naming to show that it had ever been per
formed and inquiry elected the fact that
the physician had never seen the children
after the vaccination until called upon tc
attend them in their fatal attacks of small
pox These cases have led Health Com
| missioner De Wolf, of that city, to order 8
thorough inspection of all school children
in Chicago, and the adoption of the Ger
tificate prepared by this board, the proper
use of which would make such an occur
renee impossible.

steady and regular glow, and avoids that
Pickering and changing which, heretofore,
has been one serious objection to it. The
time will come when the electric light will
be made to burn as steadily as the best gas
lights.
Exactly what this notable improvement
is does not fully appear, but the users OF
electricity in this city would probably be
glad to learn. All communications on the
subject addressed to Rock Island will
receive attention, although the experience
of the parties in this city using it. is that it
is preferable to gas light, even the best.
