A Fine EntertninmentC Coming.

The people of this vicinity will hav,
the pleasure next Saturday and Monda,
evenings of seeing one of the best enter
tainments of the season at Armory hall
under the auspices of the Rodman Rifles
who have gone to considerable expense
in securing Prof. G. Paul Smith, the wei
known delineator of humanity, who will
give two entertainments.
The secret of Mr.. Smiths power lies
wholly in the realism of his genius and
the almost limitless scope of his versatil.
ity. He does not merely clothe himself
and paint his face, but he has the mar
velous power of temporarily taking on
the actual individuality, the magnetism
and temperament of the character repre-
sented.
1t seems to be an almost irresistible
temptation to u man in feminine attire to
be coarse and suggestive; with a woman
10 male attire to exhibit her sex more os
tentatiously. Mr.. Smiths conscientious
and studiOus avoidance of anything in
delicate or suggestive of burlesque or ex'
aggeration has elevated him to pinnacle
of esteem in the eyes of the best grade OF
amusement-goers. and he sits there en-
throned alone-an artist Turn out and
help the Rodman Rifles.

A BRITISH SCHOLAR DEAD.


LONDON April II. Matthew Arnold, the
eldest son of DR.. Thomas Kerchnever Arnold,
head master of Rugby, and who was we'll
known and distinguished in the literary world
rs II scholar and poet, died suddenly of heart
disease at Liverpool, Sunday, where he went
to meet his daughter, who was due from
America on the steamship Aurania.
On Saturday evening Mr.. Arnold was in
exuberant spirits, and made a running jump
over IA railing near the house. although DR..
Sir Andrew Clark, knowing his liability TO
heart disease, had warned him against any
sudden cXertion. Sunday, still in high spir-
its, he went out for walk with Mrs Arnold.
Soon after starting he suddenly fell forward,
and never spoke again, but died a few min
utes later.
Mr. Arnold's death has created a tremend-
GUS sensation and evoked expressions of pro-
found sorrow far and wide. Almost every
circle in England feels his loss. The news
papers contain articles conveying express
sions of opinion concerning the benefits he
has conferred upon English literature which
many Of them would have hesitated to print
last week, but which are none the less sincere
and merited
He was born at Laleham, Staines, Dec. "a,
1892 and was educated at Winchester, Rugby
and Baliol college, Oxford He was graduated
with honors in 1874. In 1917 he was appoint
ed private secretary to the late Lord Lans-
downe, which position he held until his mar
riage in 1851. Mr.. Arnold who had con-
tributed in prose and verse to periodical lit
erature, collected and published in 1865 some
of his prose contributions under the title of
Essays on Criticism" He had the order of
Commander of the Crown of Italy conferred
on him by the king of Italy in acknowledg-
ment Of his care of the young duke Of Genoa,
who lived in Mr.. Arnolds family while pur-
suing his studies in England. Mr.. Arnold
visited America on lecturing tour in 1888,
and recently has been the subject of much
adverse criticism both in this country and
America for the structures on American civil
ization contained in an article published

| LONDON, April a. The sudden change for
the worse in the condition of Emperor Fred

| apprehension and anxiety He was reported
Sunday TO he suffering from fever and irrta-
ton Of the throat, and these reports, although
| little that could be relied upon was current,
were in measure confirmed Monday morn
ing, and fully and more aarmingly confirmed
by night Monday. 1t is now known that "A
conference Of the emperor's doctors, which
was held Sunday evening, resulted in the
unanimous decision that the fever and bron-
chitis from which the patient was suffering
had undergone no change. Dr. MacKenzie
suggested that the presence of an abscess in
the vicinity of the trachea was the cause
of the excessive fever which had hereto
fore baliled the skill Of the physicians
10 account for Monday morning DR.
Mackenzie expressed his belief that the end
was nearing, and upon imparting his fears to
the empress the latter sent an urgent sum
mons to the members of the royal and impe-
rial family to the bedside of the kaiser.
Crown Prince William was the first to ar
rive, he having ridden on horseback at top
speed from Berlin upon receiving the
message Empress Augusta and the other
members Of the household quickly followed
Prince William, and Prince Bismarck, the
last 10 arrive, was at the bedside within an
hour There is a markedly increased excre-
ton Of bloody mucous from the emperor's
throat and the swelling is making unmstaie-
able progress downward.
AT s;l5 p. IN. it was reported that the EN-
pcror had been attacked with pneumonia,
and that he was very weak Toward even
Ing he was able to sleep little, but without
Improvement To his strength, and at o'clock
Tuesday morning the report was confirmed
that the emperor was suffering from inflam-
nation of the lungs The emperor has signed
an order appointing Crown Prince William
to act AS his representative.
At midnight all the members of the i'm
periul family We're summoned to the bedside
of the emperor, whose end it was feared, was
very near.
The uneasness caused by the success of
Gen. Boulanger is very much increased by
these unfavorahle reports from Berlin. DIR.
Mackenzie, hitherto the most optimistic of
all Of the emperor's medical attendants, is
now the least hopeful, aud the anxiety dis
played by the English physician in summon
ing council almost forebodes the beginning
of the end The physicians unanimously
concede that the emperor is in no condition
to withstand an attack of pneumonia.

VETOED THREE PENSION BILLS.


The Presidents Reasons for Declining to
Sign the Same.
WASHINGTON CITY April 1.-THE president
returned three private pension bills to congress
Monday with vetoes One of them returned to
the senate was the claim of Hannah R. Lang
don for pension as the beneficiary of her
husband, who served six months and then re-
signed on account of diarrhpa. A pension
was granted for disability caused by chronic
diarrhna, and he died later of consumption,
caused, as his widow alleges, by the said di-
arrhoea In disappearing the bill the presi-
dent says: "The claimants application for q
pension was rejected by the pension bureau
on the ground that the cause of her hus-
bands death was not shown to have been
connected in any degree with the disease on
account OF which he was pensioned, or with
his military service. l am entirely satisfied
that the determination was correct
The other senate bill vetoed was one grant
ing pension to Betsy Mansfield, the mother
of F. j. Mansfield, who enlisted as a private
in April, 1861, and who died in camp in No
vember of the same year. This bill the presi-
dent vetoes because the claimant appears not
to have been dependent in the least degree
upon the soldier at the time of his death.
The third bill vetoed is house bill grant
ing pension TO Laura A Wright, the widow
of Charles H. Wright, who was pensioned for
q guu-shot wound received in the service in
1864, and who in 1864 committed suicide, be-
cause, as it is alleged by the plaintiff, of tenn
porary insanity caused by the pain resulting
from his wound. In dismissing this bill the
president says;
1--WE have within our borders thousands Of
widows living in poverty and some of them in
need, whose dead husbands fought bravely and
well in defense of the government, but whose
deaths were not occasioned by any incident OF
military service In these cases the wtfes long
vigil at the bed of disease the poverty that came
before the DEATH and the distressing doubt and
uncertainty which darkened the future, have not
secured to such widows the aid Of our pension
laws. With those in sight, the bounty OF the gov
ernment may without injustice be withheld from
one whose soldier husband received pension for
nearly twenty years, though all that time able to
labor and who. having reached a stage of COM
Portable living, made his wife widow by destroy

REFUSE TO TAKE PART.


why a Rock Island German society
Declines TO Sing in the Great FEES
tivaI at Davenport.
The Rock Island German Singing soci"
ETY. has declined to take part in the grand
musical festival to be held at Davenport,
next June. At the festival grand mass
chorus will be sung. The composition is
by Theo. Koerner, poet greatly revered
by the Germans, as he, by his stirring
battle hymns largely contributed 10 the
downfall of Napoleon. 1t is this song
that the Rock Island society refuses to
unite in singing on the great festival day
and the translation is as follows
Hear US Almighty One.
. Hear us Thou gracious One
Heavenly guide of battalions
Father, our praise to thee
That we to freedom rising
No matter how hell rants,
God, thy almighty hands,
Have shattered falsehood's stronghold.
Guide us Lord, Zebaoth,
Guide us thou Trune God,
Guide us to battle, to triumph
Guide us, e EN- be our doom
To sink to our graves iii gloom
Still praised and honored be thy name
Kingdom, power, glory, be
Thine in eternity
Guide us Almighty onel Amenl
The secretary of the Davenport Names
choir had a conversation with a reporter
OF the Democrat. Gazette on the subject
yesterday. and he told the scribe that the
letter of declination from the Rock ISL
and singers had surprised him greatly.
That singing society Informed me, said
the secretary, that they were above
singing songs invoking Deities to gain
freedom; that although they revered the
memory of Koerner, they could not de-
clare themselves in unison with such
Utopian ideas; and they from the depths
of their hearts hate to sing such songs
and have resolved not to take part in the
coming festival. Thank heaveni all our
German. A American citizens are not as mar
row minded and bi goted as those across
the river, said the secretary emphatical-
ly. why, last year this same hymn was
sung at Freeport, Ill, by nearly six hun
dred Germans without objection"
