ChippiRnnock Cemetery.

Will some one who has made the sexes
study, tell us why, in general, men have
such a dislike for cemetries and women
such fondness for them ? Any Sunday,
at our beautiful cemetery, Chippiannock
the woman visitors outnumber
the men, five to one. 1t seems
to show that the feminine mind is of
stronger texture. that it can contemplate
with calmness and sometimes even delight,
that from which men shrink in repug-
nance, 1t may be, perhaps, because man
Is more of materiaiist and looks upon
death only as "to lie in foul obstruction
and to rot" while woman, with more
spiritual fancy, can lift her mind above
the gloom of the grave and can catch
glimpses of a heavenly shore in the
world beyond this. The modern woman
is earliest at the tomb and latest and ever
constant in those little Offices of love
which keeps the memory green. At any
rate, Rock Island women have lovely
fcity of the dead. wherein to spend an
hour or so in thinking over the memory
of loved ones gone before. If there is
any one thing of which Rock Island
should be proud it is Chippiannock GEN.

Slandsrers

If there is anything on this green earth
that we detest, it is a slanderer male or
female. No one is safe for his or her
tongue. The slanderer in lew hours can
tear down reputation that has taken
years to establish. There is in this fair
city of ours class of young men who
take supreme delight in talking about
the young ladies. Nothing is too mean foi
them to say. If some of the young ladies
brothers would get a horsewhip and coli
lar few of the vile wretches, there would
be less of this scandalous talk And some
of these days this very thing is bound to
happen.

Some Matters That Were Forgotten

WASHINGTON CITY, July 9-It has been
discovered that congress has failed to make
the usual appropriation for the printing OF
national bank notes. Under the banking act
the comptroller of the currency is required
to furnish new circulation to the banks as
they call for it, and the government is reim
bursed by them when the notes are issued
This session the appropriation has been en-
tirely neglected and the banks will be greatly
embarrassed thereby.
Congress has also failed to provide for the
payment of judgments of the French claim
commission, which it is by treaty required
to do
Nor is there any appropriation for carry
ing out the treaty provision for the survey
of the boundary line between the United
States and Mexico. The senate provided fol
this by an amendment to the diplomatic bill
but the house refused to agree to it, and tht
clause was stricken out

never met Ben Butler. He made a
statement to an Evening Star reporter
saying he would surely kill Butler if he
made the race for president He says plan
has been formed to kidnap Butler and carry
him away if he could be caught on southern
soil. Twenty-Five years have elapsed since
the deed with which Butier is charged was
committed. The young man is now only 29
years OF age, and it is possible that he may
work himself into such frame of mind that
assassination may be the result. His mother

to kill Butler and is very much
distressed. Ii Mumford cannot be
