A New and Valuable Industry.


shows the tread ofpublic thought and the
awakening desire of the people to avail
themselves of the expected 'good times
coming" in the extension OF our manu-
featuring industries and the growth OF a
home market for the product of the soil.
While not in any way competing with
any OF the industries OF which those writ
ers will treat (for it is granted they will
consider only those which may be OF uni
versal extension Or benefts) there are
many of the minor indus ;ries which are
now either wholly unknown or from other
causes neglected. We might make quite
a catalogue OF these if space or occasion
would justify, but the purpose of this ar
ticle is to call attention to one we have
before had occasion to mention, and
which promises great gain and an en-
larging interest in what may be deDOmi-

Garibaldi's Island.

The romantic Island of Caprera, fo-
which, according TO common report,
Garibaldi paid less than 5000, was sold
to the Italian government, which want
ed 1t for fertilization purposes, for $780,
600. Among the heirs was the generals
daughter Teresita, in whose behalf her
husband, General Canzio, signed the
deed Of sale. Teresita now claims that
she did not authorize General Canzio
to deed away her rights, and that as
her own signature was not affixed to the
deed the sale is void She has brought
suit against the government, and the
case will be tried in the supreme court
of Sardinia. The government will claim
that, as under Italian law the fortune Of
the wife goes to the husband in the alb
sence of any provision in the marriage
contract to the contrary, the govern.
ment's title is perfect The case is at
tracing great interest throughout Italy.

Not Always What They Seem

Men. like things, are not always
what they seem, and this fact was
very strongly impressed upon a
young liveryman in the central por-
ton of the city day or two ago. For
some time past he has had pair OF
COZ. gloves in his place OF business,
and being quite an eXpounder of the
manly art he had given nearly all his
friends a little go. A particular
friend, however, brought down sec
ond friend from Moline with the re-
suit that when a physician, who
keeps his horse at the barn, called, he
found the young liveryman in bed up
stairs, and upon entering the room,
was greeted with Hello, Doc, is that
you? l know your voice, but l can't
see you" 1t is perhaps unnecessary
to state that he doesn't do a thing
but tell just how it all came about.

of looking over the city and ascer-
tanning just what our citizens will do
in aid of such a project. 1t may not

The Plan of Action.

In order to give the public a c carer
understanding of just what the plans
of the sisters are in regard to the mat
ter, an ARGUS reporter called upon
Sister Mother Mary Francis at the
convent home of the sisters in St.
Mary's parish yesterday afternoon,
and upon inquiry was informed by
the reverend mother that the past two
days had been spent in looking over
the place. 1--WE are greatly p eased
with your city and its people, " she
continued, land feel that we would
| like to establish hospital here if the
proper encouragement is offered us.
The location is fine one and from all
| can learn you are in need of such an
institution, which fact was commun-
icated to us by one of your citizens
and has resulted in this visit"
What plan will you pursue in the
establishment of the hospital?" asked
the reporter.
Our first work" was the reply,
''will be to determine as near IS pos
sible just how far we will be assisted
in the matter. First of all, as is
done in other cities, we must have
the assurance that land enough will
be given us in good location upon
which to erect our buildings. This
being done, we will at once enter
upon the work OF erecting the institu-
ton
Then YOU erect your own build
ings, do YOU, sister?'
Yes, sir. we do; but of course OBJ
tain whatever assistance we can from
charitably disposed persons. The
building will of necessity be started
in modest way-probably one build
ing 1T first to accommodate say 80
patients. and then others as they be-
come necessary. The buildings will
be modelled after our mother home
constructed in such a manner as to
include the addition of other wings
as they are found necessary"

Her Captains story .Jisagrees With That
of the Normandie's Captain.
NEW YORK, April l0.-There is likely TO
be a pretty wrangle between Captain
Thomson of the overdue Thingvalla line
steamship Hekla. which arrived Saturday
night with about 800 souls on board, and
the captain Of the fast French liner
Normandie, who refused to take the Dan
ish boat in tow when requested to do so on
March "a. The Frenchman had asserted
that he had offered TO take the Hekla's
passengers OFF, but this statement is
vehemently denied by Captain Thomson,
who declared that the other had simply
promised to report him to his owners and
steamed away regardless OF the hundreds
of lives which his act had left in serious
jeopardy. On the other hand, it is alleged
that several of the Hekla's passengers say
that Captain Thomson, after parting with
the Normandie, had told them of that YES
sells offer to take of his passengers. At
all events the National liner America,
which turned back and towed the Hekla
to New York, will come in for pretty
sum in the way of salvage. The amount
will probably be greatly in excess of $780,
900, while some think that the figure will
even reach $250,000.
