amateur decoration at Loosley's orockery
store, there is an umbrella stand about
three feet high and perhaps eight inches
in diameter. which could be made a real
ly beautiful household article by any lady

are many other such things which it
would be interesting to examine.
The laboring men of the Fifth ward
talk of holding caucus to nominate a
man to beat Alderman Ferguson. If the
laboring men are anxious TO defeat Mr.
Ferguson they should unite on j. r..
Johnston, the democratic candidate. A
three cornered fight is almost certain to
result in republican victory, inasmuch as
the interests of the laboring men and the
democracy are identical here as every
where.

Yesterday Overseer Abel, of Daven-
port provided transportation to Geneseo
for Il boy of fifteen years, who gave his
name rs James Lischy, and who had been
roaming through the city as beggar for
the past week. He told pitiful story.
Some months ago his father drove him
from home in Fit. Wayne, Ind. and the
young fellow wendell his way westward.
He reached Chicago, was there several
weeks. during which time he was barely
able to obtain food enough to keep him
from starving. lie finally made his way
out of Chicago, going as far as Des
Moines, stopping at little towns on his
route, when he had no money to carry
him further on. After he had been
in Dcsl Moines few weeks, vibrat-
ing between starvation and death,
he decided to return home, il such
thing were possible. Through the char
itv of friends he succeeded in receiving
transportation as far eastward as DAY.
EXPORT. When he reached that city
change had come over him and he pre-
fcrred to go from house to house and beg
for bread enough to keep him from
starving-let alone his anxiety to get
home. The poor boys modesty was
detriment to him, for he had passed days
without having tasted morsel Of sus'
tanning food. As he neared hons the
thought of returning to the father who
had driven him awaV-out upon the cold
charity of the world-bore heavily upon
him. His mind had become impaired to
a great extent and his actions, conversa-
ton and appearance, were those of an
emaciated creature.

The ARGUS has heretofore spoken oil
the delay occasloned by the holding OF
Rock Island mails at Davenport for con-
nection ON the g., r. |. & p. In response
to letters from Postmaster Halves and Mr..
A. G Dart bearing on the subject, Supt.
James E. White, of Chicago, superin-
tendent of this division of the mail SER
vice, has sent the following letter:
Chicago and West Liberty railway
postotfice has been directed to make
pouch for your office to be forwarded
from Davenport by the mail messenger
whenever they are to be held over thirty
minutes at Davenport for delayed trains
from the southwest or north, but you, of
course. will understand that this will
give you only that portion of the mail
which they bring from West Liberty, as
the mail from Davenport and Atchison
express trains cannot be got out in time
to be forwarded in this way.
While Supt. Whites action applies rem
edy to the annoyance our business men
have suffered because of this delay. it
does not effect permanent cure, as the
mails from the other divisions in Daven>
port are as often delayed as that of the
main line, and when one train is late the
other two are held for it, There should
be means of getting all Rock Island
mail from the west across the river as
soon as it arrives in Davenport.

INTERESTING DISCUSSION.


Takes up the Topic or "Chri-tian
science"
The Tn.City Ministerial association
held one of its most interesting meetings
at Augustana college Yesterday There
were about forty churches in the. three
cities represented. The session com
menced at II O'Clock in the morning and
with the exception of an hours interview
ton for dinner in the college building,
continued without interruption until late
in the afternoon. 'Ch ristian Science
was the subject discussed. The CHIEF
paper, THE Position of Christian Sci
ence Stated was read by Rev. IT, W.
Cue, of this city. MIR. Cue held
that the doctrines Of "Christian Science
originated with Mrs. Eddy OF Boston.
that it was a swing from materialism TO
the extreme spiritual side. That the
theory was contrary to scripture and to
christianity, because it denied the fathers
hood of God, the brotherhood of Christ
and the fellowship of the Holy Ghost,
Christian scientists legislaLe without re-
ligiou, Mr.. Cue claimed. 1t was chris
tian science without christianity, because
the cures it brought about--and instances
h al been cited where il did cure--were
not faith or mind cures, but simply the
result of Imagination and the exertion of
the mind oyer the body, There was in
fact no science and no christianity ia the
so called "Christian Science"
Other papers bearing on the same subs
Ject and of no less interesting charac~
ter, were read by Rev, Spauldiug OF Dav,
export, and Rev. Morgan of Moline. A
general discussion of the subject fol
lowed.

The Hebrews throughout the world
observe three high feasts or holy days.
The high feasts are called Pesach OF
Passover, Sbebuoth or Pentecost, and
Succoth or Tabernacle. The holy days
are Rosht Hashonah or New Year and
Yom>Kippur or Atonement. The
feast of the Passover, commencing last
evening at sundown, commentaries
the redemption of the Hebrews from
the Egyptian bondage, and is celebrated
on the eve of the 18th day of the
Hebrew first month, called Nessam.
The feast of Pentecost, commemOrat-
ing the giving of the law on Mount Sim
ia. is celebrated on the 9th of the Hebrew
third month called Sevan. The feast of
the Tabernacle, concentrating the wan
dering of the Hebrews for forty years in
the wilderness, is celebrated on the eve OF
the seventh month. called Tishri. The
festival ot Tishri, which the Hebrews are
observing, commemoratCd last evening
and today, corresponds with the Jewish
calendar of the 18th day of the first
month. and the injunctions appertainipg
thereto are all found in the book of Exc
odus. The festival lasts seven days, the
first ard the last being considered days of
religious gathering.

The Trial OF Or. Merrynan for Thrash
ing Dr. Morgan sun in Progress mt
Port nByrOu.

Port byron.
PoRT BYRON, March 81. The time IL
the trial of DR.. Merryman for attempting
to murder DR.. Morgan. was today occu-
pied in taking testimony for the defendant
DR.. Merryman himself testified TO the
facts as told by him in Rock Island to
an ARGUS reporter few days after the
trouble. He swore that he had no re-
volver, and that he had no desire to CONS
nit murder, that he was retaliating in
what he believed to be just way for
repeated insult and persecution on the
part of Dr. Morgan. He swore he had
no revolver about his clothing and while
he admitted all the allegations pertaining
to thrashing Morgan, he used nothing he
said, but the whip which he secured for
that purpose.
Thomas Maxwell was put upon the
stand to rebut the testimony of Ed.
Neihmyer concerning his (Neihmyers)
statement that Merryman had carried a
revolver for the avowed purpose of kill
ing Morgan. Maxwell testified that he
was in Merryman's office during the entire
conversation with Neihmyer after the
thrashing, and that MerrYman declared in
his presence to Neihmyer that he had no
revolver and had no intentions of kill
ing Morgan.
The arguments are now being made,
and it Is likely that the court will not
