An Ola and Faithful Onicer Retires.
This morning Police Officer John Bren-
nan, who on March IS last completed his
twentieth year in the service of the Rock
Island police department, handed his star
to the chief Marshal Miller, and became
private citizen. Mr.. Brennan's resig
nation was the result of an order from
Mayor McCon0chie who has ''had it in"
for Brennan for some time for some
reason-polilical or otherwise-and has
been but waiting for an excuse to remove
him. The fact that he has carried out
his long cherished purpose at last will
however occasion great deal
of surprise among our citizens who have
known Mr. Brennan in his various
positions as patrolmen. deputy marshal,
marshal, and then policemen again, and
have found him not only faithful and
trustworthy always. but in many instances
has he evinced much skill in apprehend
ing dangerous criminals and bringing
them TO justice.
Popular sentiment would have en-
dorsed the mayors course had he applied
his official gulllotine to the head OF the
street superintendent to whose "untiring
zeal" the streets of Rock Island are made
to look more like a bsrnyard than city
tboroug hfares. But the mayor is blind
to all things except those which he
is anxious to see.

OF the celebrated California Opera
company which is to present the great
operate success Said Pasha" at Har-
per's theatre on the occasion of its re-
opening TIL nrsdaY evening. the Cleveland
Press says:
For some time past stray newspaper
notices of the great success of sad
Pasha' in other cities have fallen under
the eyes Of Cleveland people. but until
Monday evening no opportunity has ever
been offered the Forest Ctys lovers of
comic opera to judge of its merits for
themselves; that they were anxious to
learn just what it was that had so pleased
the theatre goers of other large places
was evidenced by the unusually large
crowd that attended the Lyceum theatre
on the opening night and that they found
out was amply demonstrated by the en-
tbusiasm that prevailed almost from the
time the curtain was drawn up until il
descended for the last time. Said
Pasha' Is comic opera that is comical
The dialogue is original and enforced, the
plot is unique, and the music is melod.
ious and catchy, Scott Marble is the
author of the libretto, and Richard Stahl
composed the music. Both have done ex-
ceedinglY well. And to help matters
along the company that is presenting the
piece is one OF unusual excellence both as
10 vocal and dramatic talent. Said
Pashs' made tremendous hit Monday
evening, and there is no doubt that i; will
become even more popular as the week
advances. If the lovers of comic opera
wish to enjoy themselves, Said Pasha"
at the Lyceum is the thing to be seen and
heard.

A Story of Chinese Gordon.

There is a story told of Chinese Gordon,
one of the most striking which centers in
his romantic personality. While he was
in China there was some mutiny in the
army over bad ratiOns or stopped pay. 1t
was Gordons duty to stop that mutiny and
this is how he did it. He had the men
drawn up and down and stood a few PAGES
in front of them. At his elbow were half
"A dozen trusty fellows with loaded rifles
Now" he said, You must have some
leaders; let them stand out and I'll speak
TO them
There was moments pause. Come,
fall Out.' said Gordon again, in a cool,
everyday voice, as if he was ordering din
ner. The men looked at one another and
stirred in their places rs his keen eye ran
along the ranks. Then two men stepped
forward Gordon quietly gave a signal to
his half dozen men with loaded rifles, and
the next moment the two ringlcaders were
shot dead. SO ended the mutiny. But |
always think" Gordon used to say medi-
tatively after telling the story, Il always
think | murdered those men. Boston

Candle Holders for Christmas Trees

Children of all ages will appreciate an
improved holder of candles and tapers for
Christmas trees, which promises to put an
end to the disaster and disappointment
which often ensues from the usual frail
fastenings. II is claimed that this holder
can be readily affixed TO Christmas trees
and other articles, such as wall brackets,
wire, rope and other lines and supports,
however slight, for decorating, ilfuminat-
ing and general purposes The invention
consists of an ordinary candle or taper
with a curved base to catch the grease
dropping from the candle, and one or more
lengths of flexible wire are left free to be
twisted or coiled around the object or arti-
Gle to which the holder is to be attached.
This little device, by its rigidity when once
fixed, insures the tapers burning down 10
the socket in the exact position in which
they are desired.-New York Commercial
