women, always foremost in all philan-
thropic objects, have done much for the
relief of the Juhnstown sufferers. Among
the most practical and useful of their labors
in that direction is the rather novel institu-
ton of the "Red Cross House." the idea of
Miss Clara Barton, president OF the Ma
iional Red Cross association. Seeing that
the dwellings, remaining in the place could
not accommodate the families deprived by
the flood of their homes, she conceived the
idea of raising an cdilice which would re-
Coivo as guests number OF families, and
maintain them In comparative comfort
until such time as they should be able to
commence housekeeping in their own
homes. IL has been accomplished and was
recently opened 10 public inspection. Tho
" Red Cross House, is n building / 10 fec,
long, 80 feet WIDE and two stories high.
1t contains 30 large and commodious bed
rooms, a dining hall 100 feet long, kitchen,
laundry and two bathroom for the use of
the men and women residents. A supply
of water is laid In from tho main, and every

The house is furnished throughout with

The Moline Girls. Too.

The police of Davenport, as we have
noticed from time to time, are deter
mined to make it particularly hot and ex-
pensive for the young men who go over
from Moline TO paint the town" and to
have a general rapid time. Marshal
KittilFon, of this city, says the police
over there are doing perfectly right.
That the Moline boys, SAYS he, have gone
over there for twenty-five years or more
and have had things pretty much their
own way, is a well known fact. But
the citizens of that place have an over
dose of rowdyism at home. and the po-
lice are trying to stop it. Marshal Kit
tilson says that heavy fines are the on "
effective lessons. and the offenders de-
serve ali they get. Moline would not al

disturb the peace of our city-neither
will Davenport allow our boys to do so In
their town. Frequently when a officer
approaches q drunk here and asks him to
keep quiet. the policemen is abused, and
the boys jump a car or a train and over
they go, and generally make a night
OF 1t, and appear in the Davenport po-
lice court next morning. Many of our

that had 1t not been for the sewer, the
premises would have been fooled. The
operation OF drilling will not cost Mr.
Wagner over $4,000. while he has Gems

not only answer all purposes for his
brewery. but have some TO spare, and it
Is doubtful now II he would accept for
the well ten times what II has cost him
to discover IL. II he were to be denied

In this connection comes the sugges-
ton of the loss the city has sustained in
the matter Of water rental. not only in
the case of Mr.. Wagner. which at the old
rates amounted to $4,000 per annum and
81. 200 more under the meter system to

Rock Island. Davenport and Geneseo
afforded the scenes of q recent romantic
affair which introduced circu instances
similar to the great New York uorisinni
sensation of few years ago. 4 geneseo
young lady of good family owed her
fathers hired man. Her parents detected
the infatustion and discharged the hired
man and he came TO Davenport. The
smitten young woman came 10 Rock

tic 10 prominent family. On certain
evening the lady promised 10 elope
with the deposed family servant
and the couple got AS far as Davenport,
where the lady. seeing the character of
the associates of her lover, declined to 90
further. An employe about the depot
was attracted by her sad expression, and
to him she partially unfolded her romance
and he prevailed upon her to return to
Rock Island. Again she deter mined TO
flee with her Davenport friend and again
her courage failed her. At the depot
her friend again met her and again she
was persuaded to return to Rock Island.
Finally her lover. under representa-
tons that he had en- inviting home for
her in Davenport, induced her to come
there and led her into one of he worst
novels in that city and left her. In
humiliation and anguish she seat for her
railroad friend and made full confess
sion of her romance and reality of her
heart yesrnings. She again returned to
her former place OF employment in Rock
Island. aud the Davenport railroad IN an
meanwhile communicated with the father
who thought his daughter deso, but who
came and returned with her to Geneseo.
Her experience has cured her of her folly,

AT THE THEATRE.
Hans. the Boatman," Last Night.
The ..SiIyer King Next

Hans. the B0atman," Last Night---
The .'siiver King" Next
Hans. the Boatman," may be said to
be pure, impressive and instructive. The
plot is very light, and is interviewer with
simple love story, tuneful ballads,
graceful dances. relieved here and there
with touches of pathos. The title role is
assumed by Charles Arnold, who plays
the part of "Hans" as light-hearted,
good nstured sort of fellow. who would
rather romp with the children than work.
Mr.. Arnold is well qualified to personate
such character, and his performance is
at once graceful, engaging. and possesses
simple sincerity that is sure to enlist the
sympathies of the audience. many fearful
faces being noticeable during the third
act. Mr.. Arnold has a sweet. sympa>
tnetic voice and sings number of ball ads
In most pleasing manner. 1t might be
said that the character is a combination
OF rip Van Wrinkle" and Fritz" with
out being copy of either. Very pretty,
indeed, are the scenes between Hans"
and the children, and the young people
and the ladies go into ecstacies over
them. The other characters in the piece
are ably sustained. May Hannah, in the
child's parts. is very cute. The little
lady. while scarcely seven years of age.
dances gracefully and displays an ease
that would merit compliment to oth>
ers mitch older. She also shows
original versatile talent. appearing in
three different roles during the evening.
and sustains each to perfection. her sue
cess as the little coquette being truly re-
msrksble. She is little sunbeam of
innocent joy TO be sure. The support
was strong throughout. particularly so
with reference to Miss Katie Blancke as
GLADYS Farwell" and Dot Fredericks as
"Jeffie."
There was a fair audience present last
evening. but not such as the company
deserved by any means.
Next Friday evening we are to have
the great moral and religious drama,
The Silver King" of which the Albany
Times says:
A very large audience witnessed the
opening performance of THE Silver
King" which began weeks engagement
at the Academy OF Music last night. The
company is substantially the same as
when the play was presented at the same
house last season. The principal role.
"Wilfred Denver" was again assumed by
Marlsnd Clark. an actor who has made an
envisble reputation in the part which he
originally created. Miss Minnie Stat.
ford was a charming Nellie Denver"
and it is needless to say that the Adams
children completely captured the aud
fence. The remaining members OF the
company were satisfactory. The Silver
King" is one of the better class OF melo
dramas, and is a story of good deal of
interest. In the third act particularly
there are several scenes of particular pa
thOs, and when the banished husband
returns to find his children starving many
eyes in the audience were moistened
The scenery of The Silver King" is very
effective.
