Doctors aud Politics.

1t is not generally known that Mara;,
the Revolutionist, dispatched by Charlotte
Corday, was physician, and that he had
a certain success in treating consumption
It = recorded Of him that he cured n titled
lady Of this disease in Is advanced stages.
and that her gratitude To him knew no
bounds. Unfortunately he WIS enticed
into politics and prevented from pursuing
his studies further in n direction that
might have made his memory revered in
stead of detested.
For some reason doctors seem TO drift
naturally toward politics and radicalism.
perhaps nCcause their profession tends to
render them skeptical. In brazil and the
Argentine Republic they have shown them
selves decidedly ambitious The celebrated
DIR. Charcot is a radical whose principles
verge on the revolutionary. Clemenceau

TIE THEATRE.

The BOTTOM OF the Sea- Last Evening
Town Lots" Saturday Night.
An audience ia mum bers and apprecia-
ton such as the attraction deserved was
present at Harper's theatre on the pre-
sentation of the great spectacular pro-
ducsion, The Bottom of the Sea" last
evening. The play is handsomely
mounted, the scenic effects being the
most elaborate and reali. tic that have
been seen in Rock Island this season.
This is particularly true of the marine
scene, where an en- -oanter occurs between
divers and where one of the divers strug-
giles with deadly oc;upus, the entire act
being of the pantomimic order and is very
effective. The cast is strong and the play
while depending largely upon the origi-
nslity and effect of its scenic merit has
interviewer throughout a good plot, AMI
enough comedy is introduced to brighter
the events that follow each other in the
dramatization.
The next entertainment will be the
roaring comedy, Town Lots" Saturday
night. The Kansas City Tribune says
of II:
Herbert Hall Winslow's farce comedy,
"Town Lots. drew big audience yes
terdsg afternoon and last night at the
Midland, where it was presented by
company headed by Miss Louise Willard.
Tue comedy is one of the most extrava-
CANT sort. but seemed to please the people,
who screamed and applsuded the broad
features Of the comedy and the acting.
There is nothing vulgar about the piece,
but what is demo as horse play is the
principal dependence of the entertain
ment. Miss Willard sings we'll for the
purpose Of farce comedy and is taking
dancer.

The lorgnette is a success only as a dis

commended; but when it tackles self re-
speeding manhood and makes him dwin-
die, it becomes little short of criminal,

DRANK HIMSELF TO DEATH.
Miserable End Of Real Estate Man II
= Howell.

William II. Green, of the Arm of Hillyer &
ireen, real estate agents and land locatore, was
found dead in his room at the corner OF Front
and Bell streets last night about 10 o'clock.
Just how long Green had been dead was not
known, but the last time he had been seen
alive, ~ far a. learned, was by Officer Long,
who saw him little after midnight the night
before. The officer says that Green was then
intoxicated, and he advised him 10 go 10 bed,
his room being across the street Green began
to recitc some unintelig.ble grievances against
his partner, J. A. Hiliyer, but finally walked
across the street and entered his room.
II appears that Mr.. Hillyer, who roomed with
him, was on spree also and did not return to
the room until last night about 10 O'Clock. He
found the door locked, but pushed IL in without
much trouble. There on the bed lay Green on
his back, with his right leg hanging out over
the edge Of the bed, while on the inside OF the
bed sat little dog and three small
sleeping OF spree, but when
IIiliycr walked up to the bed he found him
dead He Immediately notified Oficcr Long,
who went 20 the room aud called In Drs. Noble
ana johnson. The doctors glanced at the dead
man but made no examination. They con-
cluded from the appearance of the body that
Green had been dead some time.
Coroner Horton was then notified and shortly
afterward arrived, but decided that an inquest
was unnecessary, as it was evident the man had
died from natural causes. He expressed the
belief that death resulted from apoplexy,
brought on by excessive drinking.
The room presented n miserable appearance.
1t is about 7xl2 feet, and 10 in the rear of the
Office the two men occupied, and the only fur
niture was bed. stand, . small heating stove,
three chairs, a few cooking utensils, and dishes
enough to serve two persons. The two plates
were on the stand, and showed evidence OF the
last meal. and close by one of them lay small
piece Of bread. The floor was far from clean,
and the whole gave evidence of deep wretched-
ness.
Green was "a years OF age and he and Hillyer
came here from Kansas three years ago. Mr..
Hillyer says they have been close friends for
fifteen years. coming originally from pittsburg,
where Greenes family. wife and several child
rem, still live. Hillycr showed considerable
emotion over the death of his old chum though
1t Is said that Green frequently got drunk
and locked Hiiiyer out and the latter
would plead piteoasly to be admitted and
allowed to sleep on the door, but without avail.
Hillyer claims that Green was not divorced from
his wife. and that he has never known him 10
be subject To any disease aside from that pro-
duced By constant drinking.
The only property he leaves is hall interest
in the little building in which he died, which is
on leased ground. and also half interest in the
townsite OF Brighton on WILDLY island.
The remains were taken TO Cross 4 Co.'S I'M

This afternoon at the Madison street park the
Seattles and the Maroous will meet in the open.
ing game OF the baseball season. Everything
seems to point toward an interesting contest
The warm sun of the last few days has dried out
the grounds, and the rolling and scraping to
which they have been subjected will leave them
in good condition.
The disparity in the playing strength of the
two teams is not so great as might be imagined,
and the superior play of the professionals will
not make itself felt as IL would III they had been
drilled together in championship games. The
amateurs will have out their strongest team,
and are confident OF making q good showing.
Eugene Curry will pitch part of the game for
them, and he is not apt to prove a soft mark for
his opponents. coombs, who will relieve him
in the box, il also pitcher of no mean ability.
Patsy Flaherty is down to catch for the Ma
rooms, and his presence. will add great strength
to the team. King, one of the best amateur
backs,ops in the state. is announced az Q substi-
tgte catcher.
The audience will have the opportunity OF
seeing all the players OF the Seattle club at work,
NJ keenan, and Camp viii each do q part of the
pitching. Newman, who is down TO play center
field. may also so behind the bat for . few in-
ninss
