COW which was being taken to DAv>
export by Chris Einfeldt, of this city. to
be sold to butcher. showed not only for
the time being an unconquersb deter
minatinn not to be taken into Iowa, but
also remarkable endurance as swimmer
Just as the boat was lsnding on the Iowa
side and after the bar which serves as
gate on the boat had been removed. the
COW suddenly lesped into the water, dis
appeared from sight for an instant and
then the nose and horns appeared above
the surface OF the water, bu. it was
enough to detect the direction from
whence came the atmosphere OF freedom
and the plucky bovine Bonded its efforts
in that direction. Several men jumped
into skiff and attempted TO stop the
COW, but failed, and the animal proved 4
fast swimmer and covered the width of
the river-three quarters Of mile--in
almost as quick time as it takes to write
this. The animal landed near the r. l.
L p round house and put of a. lively
rate up the shore. That COW earned its
living 1t is too sensible to die for food.

women's Luncheons.

The daintiness and astheticism Of ladies
have elevated the simple act of lunching into
a most impressive ceremony since the custom
has been established for ladies to give to a
friend luncheon at some popular restaurant,
Just as a man would give a dinner to a guest.
The handsomely furnished private rooms
used on these occasions must be arranged TO
exclude all daylight, and the gasiight Is III
tered through softly tinted shades to give
new charm to the sweet faces glowing under
the butterfly lunch bonnets. The tall candel-
abra at either end of the table wear shades OF
rose color, and the table is bright with favors
and flowers and fruit and all sorts and kinds
of dainties A favorite custom is TO use a
round rather than an elliptical table, with a
large basket in the center, wound with rib
bons and gay with bows, into which clusters
of roses are crowded, interspersed with ferns
and vines Of green There are pink luncheons,
lavender luncheons and green luncheons, AT
a pretty yellow luncheon yellow crinkled

EXTEND The PAVEMENT.
The Popular Cry as to Second
Avenue.
An Improvement 1hat sheuld spread
all Over the City---PetitIo ions the
Council May Wen Grant.

At tonight's meeting the cour Gil will as
heretofore stated be expected to either
give its sanction OF disapprovtl of the
petition to extend the Second avenue
pavement further west. The municipal
body has by rising vote approved what
has thus far been done in the way of
paving, and in so doing it but voices the
sentiment Of the entire city Tonight it
will be called upon to act in consistency
with its action OF Friday nigh Oppo.
sition to the project for extending
the Second avenue pavement may
be expected. All public improve
ments meet with opposition. In
Peoria the first paving was ordered
when the spirit of the property holders
affected was strongly against it. The
prevailing expression was don't pave.
The majority of the front feet we're rep
resented on the side of the opponents
of the enterprise. but the council exer-
cised the same right that it has here 10
order it. no matter what the wishes of
the property holders. and the mayor and
the men who composed that council are
now the most popular citizens in Peoria
The honest board Of municips control
has made many friends through the fear
lessness. yet conservative manner in
which il has taken hold Of public i'm
provements end furthered them by its
sanction.
1t is believed the majority Of front feet
facing the contemplated Second avenue
Improvement favor it. but whethe- they do
or not the council will best serve the in
terests of the entire people AMI the adj
vaucement of the city by ordering the ex-
tension tonight. Its action will be
closely watched in this particular and if
ii considers the wishes of the opposition
lists and ignores the progress OF public
spirited citizens, the paving operations in
Rock Island may be expected to cease
practically where they now are. for en-
couraged by success, if they should
achieve it now. the spirit Of opposition

are raised and proped while the founda-
ton is removed and then lowered with
jack screws.
The Barnard & Leas Manufacturing
Co. of Moline, are reducing their force of
workmen considerably. In the foundry
fourteen men were laid of Saturday
night. 1t was expected that about the
same reduction would be made iu the
machine shop and some in the wood de-
partment. This is understood to be
partly owing to the fact that suit for an
infringement of roller mill patent is
pending in the United States circuit
court in Chicago. to which the company
is party. This is to be heard in short
time and the company does not care to
stock up heavily. pending decision in
the case.

That TO which Mrs. Geo. knight BE.
Iongs-A hit OF Interesting History.
Mrs. Geo. s. knight and her ALL
American company arrived at the Harper
yesterday morning. and will remain here
until Friday morning. the company play
ing tonight in Moline. tomorrow night at
Hsrper's theatre andThursday and Friday
nights at Burtis in Davenport. The COM
pany is under the management Of Frank
W. Paul, who has been at the head Of
some of the best combinations that have
ever travelled, and he has been a frequent
visitor in Rock Island. but his star has
not been here for great many years.
1T must be fifteen to seventeen years
since Mrs. knight last visited Rock
Island" said Mr.. Paul while conversing
with a reporter at the Harper this morn
ing. THE last time she was in Rock
Island. il my memory serves me rightly,
was about the time of the opening Of this
house. She was then one of the Worrell
sisters and their parents were travelling
with them and ii was in this very hotel
that the family planned what proved one
of the most gigantic comedy entertain
ments ever conceived in this country.
The company was here all that summer
and here its plans were matured. and the
enterprise one involving WAS an ex>
penditure of $50. 600 but it proved pay
ing investment. for the family begun the
series of trlumphs that made it famous.
The members revealed in wealth and con-
tinued to do so until they began TO sepa-
rate. The father was a genius-the cele-
brated Billy Worrell," the circus clown,
and the daughters-Sophia, Jennie and
Irene, as they have been known every
where as the Worrell Sisters-were each
possessed o: the highest versatile comedy
talents"
What has become Of the otherss'
I'll tell you. Jennie married an English
lord and is living in wealth and retire.
ment from public life in a country home
near London. Irene became Mrs. Holten,
but retained her family name and is still
in the profession. l think she was in
Rock Island this fall with the Fenner &
Crane company. She has gifted
daughter. Jennie Eddie. who is with our
company. Sophia is Mrs. Knight and
she is seeing the best days of her life
now. She dances better and sings sweeter
than ever"
40 How is Mr.. Knights health?' did
you ask. am pleased to say that he is
recovering from bis recent illness rapidly.
He has been completely broke down
under the mental strain and nervous
excitement to which he has for gears been
subjected. But last week we received a
letter from DR. Garrison of Philadelphia,
advising us of his improvement in health.
and already have we commenced prep
arations for the JOINT starring tour of
Dir. and Mrs. Knight next season. In
the meantime Mrs. Knight will continue
in her repertoire of farcisl comedy, and
with her American company she is meet
ing with success more pronounced than
Volks is with her English support"

The old fashioned Yankee parlor chair Il
rarely seen nowadays n fingers, perhaps,
in the home of the conservative; and many
Of us can recall the stiff horse hair structure
standing on the carpet, patterned With huge
green and yellow cabbage roses, and against
the wall paper Of gorgeous sunhowers- This
chair seemed modelled for discomfort. Its
limbs, TO express it modestly, each carefully
curved in the wrong direction; its back
scorned 10 minister to the weakness Of the
flesh, and persistently refused TO curve at all,
thereby discouraging all lazy, lounging hab-
its. One turns with relief to the equally
quaint but luxurious designs borrowed from
various historical epochs The Louis XII
chair is model for the drawing room. The
legs are carved and huted, the back slants
slightly and is heavily decorated with en-
blematic carvings, rising in an oval shape in
the center. The stuffs for covering these
chairs are of patterns in close imitation Of
those used before the Revolution, woven to
represent flower garlands, armorial devices
aud coats of arms, inclosed with the wreaths,
tied with floating aud knotted ribbon, 80

Etymology of Chicago.

Some time ago postscripts gave the true
etymology of the word Chicago" Briefly
the story is; When the French explorers
came to the land Of the Pottawottamies they
named those Indians Les Puantes because Of
the eloouence Of the odor emitted by the I'M
bathed reds. Les Puantes was later trans
lated into the Pottawottamie tongue as Chi
