Yesterday was Children's Day in th'

particularly striking feature was an inns

been arranged with much taste and skill
by the pastor. Rev. W, s. Marquis.
Forming an arch over an open door were
gaily colored banners bearing word, the
first letters of each of which taken to-
gether formed the inscription, Chill

The exercises opened with an organ
voluntary, and the primary class entered
singing The Sunday school sang "Je-
sus. only Jesus" when Mrs, Mitchell's
class recited scripture lesson. Prayer
was offered by the superintendent, DIR. J.

when Mr.. Frank Nader gave an inter

it could be colored by the injection

the effect of sin upon the soul. Then by
means of another chemical he returned

Accident or SuicIdes

Henry Mumm, a well known butcher
of Moline, member of the order of Dru-
ids and of the Turner society. was
drowned in the tail race back of Deere &
Co.'S. lumber yard this morning. There
is a question as to whether the death was
caused by accident or with premeditated
suicidal intent. Mumm had been for years
heavy drinker, though he was not in the
habit Of getting intoxicated, and his sui
eide at any time within recent years would
not have surprised anyone acquainted
with his habits. 1t was. however. his
cutom to go to the tail race early in the
morning and either fish himself or watch
those who were fishing, and the theory
was accepted by the coroner's jury that
he was doing so this morning and slipped
and fell into the water. His body was
found not far away from the place he was
in the habit of visiting. Deceased was
fortyNeight years of age and leaves a wife
and five children. He had resided in
Moline twenty five years.

No Second Trial for Murder.

The supreme court of this state has rem
dered remarkable decision relative to the
trials of persons charged with murder. 1t
was decided that a disagreement of tie
jury in murder trials is equivalent to an
acquittal, and that the accused person can
not be again arraigned for trial after one
jury has failed to agree. The ground for
the decision is the constitution, which says
a man cannot more than once be put in
jeopardy of 'life and limb The supreme
court in its decision declares that the con-
stitution is very clear on the point raised,
and this fact makes it remarkable that the
point was never raised before Many men
have been tried for murder a second time,
convicted and hanged, and it would be in
teresting to know how many have been
hanged unconstitutionally in Pennsylvania.
The decision will have the effect of releasing
several men who are now awaiting trial
after juries in their first trials had dis
agreed. Hereafter it will be much more
difficult to convict man of murder in this
state, since the lawyers need only work for
a disagreement in order to save their clients.

The fact remains that many women in
fashionable society smoke cigarettes, and
that, too, in no moderate degree. Peep

past week and pleasant little coterie of
young matrons, and perhaps maidens, will
be disclosed like so many Hebes in a London

They are doing no harm morally, only imi-
tating husbands and brothers and trying to
be jolly at the expense Of throat, lungs and
liver. Smoking cigarettes is a common
custom among actresses, and has at times
become so excessive that managers in this
city have prohibited it in the dressing
rooms. An exception was made some
months ago in the case Of a young lady
playing here, as her pitiful nervousness
when deprived for long interval Of her
precious cigarette made it seem advisable
for the interests Of the manager, as we'll as
that Of the actress, to crafty her cravings
for a smoke. This case comes the nearest
to a parallel with that of Mrs Walters Of

rectly, the crazy smokers, have yet de-

A Noted Paris Hunchbaok.

Paris Correspondence Of Pittsburg Chronicle.
The bouleverds have lost a well-known
type. Bosco, the hunchback, has been
found dead in his room. He was by pre-
fession bootblacl, and sometimes a com
missioner at the doors Of the Maison dor
and Cafe Riche restaurants. On the night
of "premieres' he was TO be seen before the
Iheater des Varieties. His bunch was a
talisman in which many believed. There
are hundreds of anecdotes running about
him--one dating back more than twenty
years. One night Anna Delion, the greatest
demi-mondaine of her time, and one Of her
friends dined III company with set of gay
viveurs at the Maison dor About o'clock
Anna Delion's friend sent Bosco away with
the commission TO buy for her two tickets
of the Credit Foncier, whose drawing was
to come of on the next morEing. When
handed over to her she took care to rub the
two tickets on Bosco's hump. The drawing
was held, and Annals friend won purse Of
$4,000 francs. Bosco was well rewarded
and got drunk for whole week.

isn't the faintest suspicion of a mustache

dark and curly, his bearing that of gen.

necessarily be, that every one in the house

than is customary, as quiet, as decorous as
any man of the world ever saw.
