Allister to represent the navy in the grand
cotillion to b. danced at New York during
the Washington inaugural centennial cere-
monies calico on Secretary Tracy yester-
day, in company with members of the CEN
tennial comm ttee from New York. so much
dissatisfaction has been expressed Dy naval
officers at the appointment of Maj. Gardner
that the latter thought it expedient to consult
with Secretary Tracy concerning the mat
ter and see if some arrangements by which
the dissatisfaction might be quieted could
not be effected
1t was generally agreed at the conference
that retired judge advocate of the army
was not the proper person to represent the
navy on such an important occasion, taking
precedence, as would be the case, of the ad-
miral and all other naval officr~ - Naval
officers have felt very much slighted and not
a little amused at Maj Gardeners appoint
ment and for his reason, and on account of
the manner in which the navy has been ig-
nored, the secretary thought it proper for
Maj. Gardner to resign and allow some
officer of the naval service to take his place
Maj Gardner oheerfully agreed to this
Admiral Por er will be invited TO repre-.
sent the navy in the cotillion, and should he
decline TO do SO some other prominent naval

At the Theatre.

Whenever Fred E. Wright desires to
visit Rock Island with his German Spec
tacular minstrel combination he may be
sure that he will be greeted by large au-
dience. The entertainment last night
was one Of the best in the way Of MIN
strelsy aver seen in Rock Island. The
Germans are originators of novelty in
the happy art of burnt cork perform,
ances. Minstrelsy Is, as rule, as de-
void of novelty as parrot is of horse
sense, but the Germans have exercised
their wits in giving us something that is
refreshing and startling. The special
ties were many, the hits bright and with
out SAVIOR of chestnut" The female
impersonstion of Billy Lyons was one of
the most pronounced hits of the entire
performance, while Gov" AID. Ryan
kept the house in a roar of laughter from
the time he appeared until he left the
stage.
The company has made a decided de-
parture in the omission of the always
popular first part-the pyramid, and the
substitution of sort of musical medley
which, though very clever, does not fill
the bill Of the pyramidal arrangement of
the artists, which is regarded by many as
the best feature of genuine old time
minstrelsy. In the introduction of new
acts the best of the old ones should not
be entirely discarded. The after piece,
the "Pasha Of Bagdad, was good.

The Stomach Distils Acids.

These, il existent in natural quantity,
and unvitiated by bile, play their part in
the functions of digestion and assimilaN
ton. But the artificial acid resulting
from the inability of the stomach to con-
vert food received by 1t into sustenance,
is the producer of f1atulence and heart
burn, which are the most harrassing
symptoms Of dyspepsia. The best
carminative is Hostetter's Stomach Bit
tiers. Far more effective is it than car
Donate of soda, magnesia or other aka
line salts. These invariably weaken the
stomach without producing permanent
benefit. No man or woman chronically
dyspeptic, and consequently nervous, can
be in possession of the full measure of
vigor allowed by nature. Therefore, in
vigorate and regulate the system. and by
so doing protect 1t from malaria. rheu

CONCORD, N. H, April 1.-The suspension
of sentence in the the case OF Wells, convicted
of the murder of Eastman, of Great Falls,
occasoned some wonderment up to the time
of the arrest in Maine of a man named Fields
upon a charge of having committed the crime
for which Wells now awaits sentence 1t is
reported that Immediately after the convic-
ton of Wells prominent citizen received an
anonymous letter from Portsmouth declar-

of a woman, and that Wells was innocent.
The letter was given to Pinkerton detective,
who secured Identification of the writing as

sires to join with the parliament of bis own
country in laying grateful tribute to one
who, during his long public life, was con-
spicuous in his devotion to the cause of free

pointed to wait upon the president reported
that after yesterday he would have no
other messages to the senate except of a
formal chare cter to fill vacancies as they oc-
cur Certain committees were authorized to
sit during recess, and after an executive ses-
