FOR YOUNG MEN.
An Interesting Meeting at the Broad
WAY Church LaSt Evening.

The Broadway Presbyterian church
contained large congregation last evens
ing. the service being devoted expressly
to young men. 1t was Y NJ. c. A,
meeting, and the services were of a na~
ture befitting the occasion. A choir of
male voices, consisting of Messrs. Blakes-
ly, Mlxter, McCandless and Marquis ren>
dered several fine selections, and Rev. w.
s. Marquis preached an impressive SER
mon. His text was taken from Proverbs
IA, his subject being. why Are Not
Young Men Processing Christians7" Mr..
Marquis first spoke of the interest every
nation took in lis young men, illustrating
this by the great achievements made by
the Young men in an honorable way, as
well as in the way of crime and evil. He
accompanied his remarks with interesting
statistics. and in reply to the question
asked in his subject. Why Are Not
Young Men Protesting Christians2' gave
five reasons: The first was, because it is
not fashionable; great many stay out
because others dou't belong. The Sec
ond reason was, men have strange idea
that it will clip their pleasures and cramp
them in business successes. The third
reason was, because Of the absence OF
proper home training. The fourth rea-
son he gave, was the fact that they are
not approached soon enough on the sub
ject of personal religion. and the fifth
the lack of special agencies to meet and
battle with tte influences of corruption
Mr.. Marquis urged more of such agen-
cies as the Y. NJ. C. A.. and gave the
statistics of the Y. NJ. C. A work, and
made strong plea for continuation
and increase in Y. NJ c. A work here
and in the world in general. The colec
ton was made for the international Y. NJ
C. A. committee, as it was in many othel
of the city churches yesterday.

generally smiles when she does il in the

Modjeska to Young Mrs. Blaine.

This extract from Mime. Modjeska's letter
to the young Mrs. Blaine contains the wis
dom of experience: Il shall miss you, of
course, but it is far better for you that you are
not going on the stage after all. Our life is
not all strewn with roses, and the existence
of young, beautiful girl in our profession il
something very sad, believe me. You were
born to shine-but not on the stage; you viii
shine in society and be the pride of Your hus-
band and yours, and when You are old you
will have circle of devoted friends around
which will make your life sweet and easy
An actress is only appreciated at the time Of
her glory; when she has given 10 the world
all that was best in her she is like on empty

THE DRIVING PARK.
Encouraging Meeting at the Harper
House Saturday Night---Com-
miffee Annoiutod

A largely attended meeting was held at
the Harper house Saturday evening to
take into contemplation the leasing or
purchasing of ground suitable to the pur-
poses of driving park in Rock Island.
Moline Was well represented and Capt.
W. G, Bennett, of that city. was chosen
chairman. Messrs. Homer j. Lowrey
and A. W. Bruner reported on having in
spected desirable tracts for the proposed
enterprlse-one piece of property near
Brooks grove. east of the city. and an
other on the south side of the old fair
grounds.
Mr.. Goode. of Moline, moved that a
committee of three be appointed to take
into consideration the matter to look
up the locations, etc, for suitable
grounds and report at another meeting
next Saturday evening The chair ap-
pointed as such committee, Messrs. II. J.
Lowrey and A W. Bruuer, of this city,
and John Goode, of Moline
The purpose of the park is not 50
much to have trotting meetings as to
have local place for popular pleasure
1t is the design of course to have
meetings periodically during the proper
season hut the chief end and aim is TO
secure park which will always be here,
and to have it accessible at all times, to
both towns. Hence the site mentioned il
the Brook estate is the more desirable
of the two proposed. A driving park
not only furnishes pleasant pastime5 TO
those being fortunate in the possession
of fast horses, but it has tendency to
breed turf favorites. In cities where
driving parks have been inaugurated the
rule has always been an increase in good
horse flesh and Rock Island has in its
time produced a remarkable record in
this direction. There is no reason why
this reputation should not be maintained
and continued.
The committee appointed Saturday
night will devote the week to the m ate
in its hands and will no doubt have a
satisfactory report to make at the meet
| ing next SATURDAY, night.

ought to be made to dsfray such expenses in

scandalous fashion, especially as the whole Of

do, thanks to the exuberant hberahty of
