The New York Dramatic Netos SAYS of the
troupe:
That was tremendous jam at the big
Grand on Monday night. At least fifteen
minutes before the curtain rose there was
not a seat left. The gallery gods seemed
to be hanging by their eyebrows. Cleve-
ian DIS com bined minstrel troupes present
the greatest aggregation of burnt cork ar
tisls known to the universe. The aggrega-
ton is to the Haverly Mastodons as the old
MastodOns were to the "dinky" minstrels
of those days. There were unheavals of
applause and hurricanes Of laughter. 1t
was red letter day in minstrelsy. 1t

en- thusiastic audience. These great burnt
cork comedians supplied for fun Billy
Emerson, Hughey Dougherty, John
Queen, Marcus Doyle and Burt Shepard.
There was enough vocal and instrumental
music to supply two grand concerts
From the reception, we verify believe
that the combined troupes could take the

An Endemic Mt Augustana.

Yesterdays ARGUS recorded the death
a. st. Luke's hospital of Charles Swans
son, of South Bend, Ind, of typhoid
fever. The young man was student of
Augustana college, and the malarious
trouble with which he was affected seems
to be of the nature of an epidemic at Au-
gustana just now. About forty persons
ct that institution are suffering with the
oontagion. Mr.. August Eckman, the
tenor singer, is very low. 1t was de-
cided yesterday at meeting of the fac,
IIlty to adjourn the school until Thurs>
day morning, and the interior of the
building and its sewer and drainage ser
vice will be thoroughly examined, and
The cause of the unhealthy condition
remedied if possible. OF the forty per-
sons or more who are suffering with the
disease, only two cases are considered
dangerous.

CRUEL INFANTICIDE.
A Child of a Few Days SmOthered
in a Vault.
Startling Discovery Made by Two
COiored Men This Morning-..Who is
Resp nsible for the Crimey

Two colored men named John Thurs
man and James Carter. in the employ of
City Seavenger Greene. while cleaning out
q privy vault in the rear of vacant house
owned by the Rock Island Lumber Co.,
and i'm nediately joining the Mill company
hose house on Third avenue between
this morning. made the startling discovery
OF the dead body of male infant par.
tally clad, which they sent to the dump
boat near the foot of Seventeenth street
aud Mr.. Greene at once notified Coroner
Hawes, who dispatched Constable Eek
hart to summon Jury. The jury
was sworn and the inquest continued
until o'clock this afternoon.
The jury composed of ii. p. Simpson
foreHan). l.. " Eckhsrt, Chas. Haber-
lab, Thos. Thornton. II. 8. Powers and
Louis OElweiler met at the corOner's
uffice This afternoon when Thurman and
Carter, the men who discov vered the body,
were examined and their testimony simp-
ly pertained to the discovery of the body
which was found after three barrels had
been emptied and which was first de-
tected by the rags and cloth in which it
was wrapped. Thurman's suspicious
having been aroused as to the object,
Garter took a small stick and removed q
portion of the cloth and revealed the
child's face. Blood was oozing from the
nose. The men put the body back in the
barre and sent it to the dump boat, and
Scave nger Greene being admonished of
the contents of the barrel, removed it and
notified the coroner.
This was all the evidence that was
produced up to that time, and at the cor
oner's suggestion the jury adjourned un-
til tomorrow afternoon at one o'clock,
by which time it is hoped that testimony
will be sdduced as to the identity of the
child.
While no post mOrtem has been held
the infant has the appearance of having
lived fully week. 1t is clearly
case of most cruel and brutal infanti-
eide, and as the head was closely wrapped
in cloth, it is evident that it was
sTothered. and very likely thrown into
the vault while there was still life in its
body.
The house been vacant for short
time, but is now occupied by family
named Peters.

POPULARITY OF PAVING.
A Peoria Paper Has some sound Doc.
trines TO Advance on the Advantages
of lmDrOyed Streets

A Peoria Paper Has some sound Doc.
trines 10 Advance on the Advantages
of Improved streets.
The Peoria journal is making a vigo>
rOus campaign in the interests of paved
streets in that city and IS attempting to
instill into the minds of the aldermen
the ideas which have induced the
present Rock Island council to go ahead
fearlessly and firmly for the city's ad-
vancement, work that it is TO be hoped
will be taken up and carried on with
equal enthusiasm and pride by the incom>
ing municipal body. The journal says
on the subject:
The matter of paving the streets is ex>
ceedingly popular among all classes of
people. The property owners want to
see the streets paved, and they wish to
have it done on so extensive plan as to
be general, and thus do away with the
desultory, hit or miss system that is now
in vogue. So far ss the legal aspect of
the case is concerned the best attorneys
say that the city council has the right to
pave the streets and assess the benefits
against the property. And they can
make the payments either in one year or
in five, and that in case anything is wrong
they can amend the matter after the judg-
ment against the property has been main
tanned. This certainly gives the council
ample power. The policy is now pursued
in Chicago and il has been of the utmost
benefit to that city. There is no doubt
that our city council has right to do
this here and if the aldermen will simply
pality that we shall be proud of. The
mstter of getting new manufac-
tories in a town is OF small moment
compared with making the city a
pleasant place to live in and giving
the people a chance to avail them
selves of all the modern improvements.
People will not live in a place where the
streets are muddy. the crossings are un-
clean, the water is defective and there are
no sewers. A large part of our future
prosperity must come from the fact that
we shall make this city agreeable to peo
pie Of means who wish To come here to
avail themselves of the advantages that a
progressive city gives.
Dwelling on this point has built up
Denver until now it is city of lac, 600
inhabitants without any factories at all
We can do the same in degree for Peo
ria. The factories are bound to come,
for we possess unequalled facilities, but
they will come all the quicker if we make
a city here that strangers find is pleasant
and progressive, IL we pave each street
with brick and make the drives around
town such as they ought to be, it will at
tract the attention of people of means
and thev will settle here. Other things
then will come of their own accord. We
now have prospect of obtaining good
water in the future. The next crying
necessity is we'll paved streets and good
sewers. All that the board of aldermen
need now is little courage.

THE ST. CYR SCHOOL.
A Life of Toll and Torture Experienced
by the French Cadets.

Life OF Toll and Torture Experienced
by the French Cadets.
The "West Point" of France is the
great military school at st. Cyr. Ac-
cording to the statement of u student,
life at the school is not an enviable one.
This student has given some interesting
particulars respecting the internal econ
omy and discipline Of the college. 1t
was always tolerably we'll known that
the life of a 'St Cyrien" was by no
means luxurious one. These young
military gentlemen, in their smart uni
forms, cut great dash on the boule-
wards on Sundays and holidays. They
enjoy themselves thoroughly during
their brief spells of relaxation from
study and drill, and judging from their
generally festive demeanor one would
think that their college life was all
Colour de rose. This is, however, far
from being the case, and the life of
poor 'seminarist," or ecclesiastical stu
dent, who rises at four or five in the
morning, prays and studies all day on
occasional brief commons and is i'm
INJURED in cloistral gloom during the
greater portion of his theological course
is less laborious and monotOnous than
that of the cadet who is training for
commission in the National army.
The students rise at five o'clock in
the morning and ten minutes afterward
they must answer to their names in the
study hall, where they either begin
reading or attend special drills At
7:15 they receive bowl of coffee and a
bit of BUTTERFLIES bread, smoke cigarettes
and talk until s, when they clean arms
and accoutrements, make their beds and
await inspection. At $50 they attend
lectures and study until eleven, when
they have breakfast, which is reported
to be q fair meal, but rather slender
for robust young fellows of twenty with
keen appetites. Their chief torture be-
gins at noon, when they 60 through
q steady drill Of two hours duration,
which is described as fearful ordeal in
the winter, when frost and fog have tho
upper hand and lay low many brawny
fellow with Inflammation of the lungs,
bronchial catarrh or pneumonia. There
is short rest after drill, then more
study, succeeded by lump Of bread and
glass of liquor by way Of lunch or
COULTER. Fencing, gymnastic exercises
and rigid examinations follow until 7:45
p m, when there is dinner. Every
student is in bed at nine o'clock. Out of
the twenty-four ''St. Cyrien" has thus
fourteen hours of solid work of some
kind or other, and ten only of rest
and recreation, including time for
eating and sleeping. But this life of
toll and torture does not last long, and
it is but the preparation to brilliant
and gay career in the ever-popular pro-
fession of arms.-Paris Letter.
