SECOND NOTICE.
In previous review we have spoken OF
the political faith Of Simms, his hatred Of
the Yankees, his fierce anger at the wars
outbreak and the thoroughly reconstruct
ed tone of his hographer. IL Is easier in
the brief space OF newspaper review TO
call attention to these salient points than
70 attempt the characterization of Simms'
place in our literature, but we cannot let
The subject drop without some allusion to
Simms, the writer.
Smms might have done for the South
Atlantic States what Cooper did for the
North and West, had an equally encour-
sging atmosphere surrounded him and
had the South cared one half as much in
the old days for reading as for fox hunt
ing His father was a veteran of the old
Indian wars and had lived seven days on
horse meat He himself knew something
of frontier conditions of life and was at
his best in stories of adventure and queer
back woods character sketches. Perhaps
he had even more of the artistic in his
composition than Cooper; at any rate he
was more modern and yielded more read
lily 10 the changed literary fashions of his
later days III Mr.. Simms had been born
twenty or thirty years later he might
have shared with Cable. Harris and Page
the re-awakened public interest in the
South and justified his claim, perhaps, by
SURPRISING them all in power. AS il was.
he lived and died a romancer and his
"Yemassee," Guy Rivers" and Norman
Leslie" were quite OF the old school which
we publicly laugh at nowadays-and read
on the sly.
Simms' name will probably not soon be
less spoken than il is now. The romancers
are bound TO be on top again some day.

John q. Mason Asked in His VIII to BE
Buried In His Gray Uniform.
FREDERICKSBURG, Va, March 3.-John
g. Mason, a well-known lawyer and pub
lie man OF this place, committed suicide
by shooting himself through the head
with pistol he carried during the war
His body was found before large mirror
in his room in the house he occupied
alone.
He was a member of the historic family
of his name and followed the fortunes of
Lee and Jackson. So devoted was ne 20
the Confederate cause that he made him
self conspicuous by wearing on public oc-
cnsions the same gray uniform he wore at
the surrender.
He was about fifty years old and twice
widower. The loss OF his last wife
seemed to break him down.
Late Saturday night he met j. w. Col
bert, one OF the famous Black Horse cav
airy OF Fauquier County, and when they
separated he said:
"Good-by, old 'Reb;' you will never see
me again."
A will was found in which he expressed
wish to be buried in his Confederate
uniform.

The speaker was lady noted for the Won

She had been asked in circle of friends how
she had maintained her dazzling complexion
and good health.
A perfect complexion and good health in
women" she said, depend upon two things
strong nerves and good stomach. Most
women are excessively nervous weak and
languid, and as n result their compilations
are sallow and their faces pinched, drawn and
wrinkled. Few women have perfect diges-
ton. Now obviously, IL women wish sound
health and good compilations they must get

\ Fortunate Escap..

John McConochie narrowly escaped
drowning just off the ferry dock at Dav-
export last night. He, together with his
brother William, was returning from
work in that city and as the ferry was
pulling out they ran to mp on. Will
lam reached the deck in safety but John
did not jump far enough and in falling
he clutched his brothers watch chain
and jerked the latter's watch out of his
pocket which, together with Mr.. McCon-
ochie and the tools he carried in his
baud, fell into the river. He managed
to paddle enough to keep afloat until he
was reached by some parties in boat
and was brought to shore.

The NIarreu lnstitu;e.

The Morrell institute recently estab-
lished here has sprung into wonderful
prominence and favor. and the wisdom
of the move on the part Of those who
have become interested in the enterprise
is already demonstrated beyond a ques-
ton. Financially it is a success. From
a moral and beneficiary standpoint it
is more that that. 1t is boon
and blessing to dozens where
it is to one. No one applies
to the institute for relief or cure who does
not receive proper and careful attention.
Unfortunates who have become slaves to
habit find in it an outstretched hand
to aid. and encourage and cure them. So
that where one thus tfiicted is taken out
of the way of temptation all dependent
upon him or connected with him share in
the blessings of the reformation.
Many man in Rock Island has
found new life from the
evils thatlhad become fastened aboutshis
neck and interviewer into his very life,
through this wonderful cure. All trans
actions are confidential and anyone may
receive treatment without interfering
with his business.

-PrecautiOn as to

Cholera is entirely an infectious dis
case" said Health Commissioner Eyster in
commenting this morning on the existence
of the plague in Europe, and there is no
particular danger of its being communi-
Gated to the United States unless it be
through carelessness or failure to prop
erly watch incoming steamships and sail
ing vessels from Europe. In other words
the disease will have to break out in the
sea ports before it reaches the
interior towns. Once the in
lection reaches this country,
however. and the contagion gets into the
atmosphere it will spread; then there is
no telling where it will end. As re-
gard it, though, there is nothing to in
dictate anything of cholera epidemic
unless the disease is transported to this
country. The first great daty at present
is to guard the sea ports"
When asked as TO the fears Of the
spread of small pox. DIR Eyster said he
thought the state board of health was
| taking the proper precautions to
prevent its spreading. and if the warn
| ing relative to vaccination
| was needed the disease would be held in
| check. The great trouble is" the doctor
| said. neglect in tn matter of VAGINA

| to have their children vaccinated before
they can enter school, they are Negligent
in having the older children revaccin-
ated. as they should be if they have not

At the council meeting last night Aid.
Guyer brought up the subject of laying
numerous sidewalks in the Seventh ward
by special taxation, and the subject Of
making a general ordinance to include
the whole city was then discussed by
Aids. Guyer. Schroeder, Corken, Evans,
Kennedy and Huesing, and it was finally
decided to have a special meeting next
Thursday night for the purpose of draw.
ing up general ordinance. The alder
men of each ward will report list of
sucn walks in their respective wards, and
the whole ordinance will be drafted
from the lists reported. 1t is a most
commendable move on the part of the
council as the walks in many parts
of the city have needed attention for
some time. While Rock Island is much
better off in the matter of sidewalks
than many cities of greater size. yet
there is no reason why they cannot be
made better and walks laid where there
are not any at present.
