furthered it:
Rock ISLAND, H., Jan. 81. B. F Til.
linghast. Dear Sir:-The project of msk-
iLg Typographical view of this vicinity
is worthy OF success and should be COM
pleted.
Fearing that the passage of the
necessary appropriations through three
city councils will require too much time
for the proper completion Of the work to-
be shown at the Worlds Fair. propose
to contribute freely three courses of three
lectures each course in Rock Island,
Moline and Davenport in order to raise
the required funds.
These lectures are to be delivered un
der the auspices of the Advertising
league with an admission fee of so cents
for the course of three lectures, which
would require the sale of 600 tickets
one-h half on each side of the river.
The lectures may or may not be &C
compsnied with Music or other attrsc
tions, all of which must be contributed
on the same terms as the lectures-free.
No deductions must be made from the
SO 500 for any incidental expenses for
halls, lights or advertising. A souvenir
print of the picture might be eiv-n TO
each ticket owner il necessary, and can
be offered.
The lectures will be illustrated with
charts prep red for exhibition vt the
| Worlds Fair, and will show the course IF
| empire on path Of power around the
word history in the old and pro phesy
in the new.
These lectures will repay the cost of
tickets, time and attention given by lis
teners, as they are entertaining and in
structive. They show the harmony oil
history, geography, philosophy and facts
in painting, prophesy which is thereby
we'll founded and Their fore demonstrate
The incentive to listen To them on these
occasions is greatly heightened by the
motive to furnish u correct view of this
vicinity before the worli and thereby at
tract sitors investors and residents. al

irons to local business and also the read
