4 Pretty New Home for the Rapids Pilots
River TsipIetS.

some time when You haven't ANY
thing to do drop down to the river
front and take look at the new
quarters of the rapids pilots. AL
most any morning, afternoon, or
evening YOU will find one, or perhaps
all of the three social occupants OF
quarters chatting pleasantly with
some friend about the good old days
on the Mississippi. when. as Mark
Twain puts it. lit amounted to some
thing to be n steamboat pilot" For
a place to spend social hour. there
is not a more agreeable spot to he
found anywhere. Capts. Wash
Hight Andy Coleman and Dos Hol-
sample. who for several seasons past
have been the recognized rapid
pilots. are in 4 pool whereby they
take their turn at running the
rapids. Here. right on the bank Of
the river. where they can be most
convenient to their work, they have
established n joint home. Two port
able houses have been built with fold
inc doors between,and are fitted up to
the queens taste. The houses which
were designed by the gentlemen
themselves. were built by Hudson X
Parker. and are models OF convcn-
fence and comfort.
Are Near at Hand.
All OF the gentlemen have their
homes elsewhere, but sleep ut their
quarters where the passing boats can
touch and get them day or night.
Not only have the gentlemen looked
after the interior of the little home.
but shade trees have been started
and work on a little terrace around
il has been begun. 1t is one of the
coolest spots on the river front and
with as pretty and inviting place
as this to spend the warm days ii Is
little wonder that the popular pilots
are not seen much on the hot streets
Another noteworthy Improvement
that has been made is that in the APP
pearancc of the Diamond 10 ware
house which Capt. Lamont has had
rebuilt. Although Rock Island :
river front has no Grccian- architec-
ture TO adorn it. il is far from being
as bad as that of many other cities

Democratic papers arc trying to OK
cuse President Cleveland's actions on
Decoration Day by declaring that he
did not fish on that day, but only

distinction without a difference. Be-
sides, it does not appear that the execu-
tive head OF the nation paid any respect
whatever to the memory OF the ma
TONS dead heroes. When invited to
participate in the ceremonies at Ar
llngton he replied that "ofIicIal BUSH

The silver law was passed to increase

faster than silver certificates have been

OF silver certificates have been issued
and net gold exports, less the gold

OF increasing the volume OF the cur
