Great Rock Island Route
TO TIE EAST.

Best Dining Car Service in the World.
The Rock Island is foremost in
adopting any advantage calculated
to improve speed and give that lux
ury, safety and comfort that popular
patronage demands. Its equipment
is thoroughly complete with vesti-
buled trains. magnificent dining
ears, sleepers and chair coaches, all
the most elegant, and of recently i'm
proved patterns.
Faithful and capable management
and polite, honest service from en-
ployes are important items. They
are double duty-to the company
and to travelers-and it is sometimes
a task difficult of accomplishment.
Passengers on this line will find little
cause for complaint on that ground
REMEMBER
The Great Rock Island Route runs all
regular trains to Englewood subur-
ban station, close to Worlds Fair
grounds, and you can save time and
trouble by getting off at that point
and avoid the crowd in the city.

SHE GAVE HIM THE GRIP.


And Thereby Caused n Commotion In
the Theater.
At the Lyceum theater, Rochester,
two gentlemen sat in the front row
next to the orchestra Directly be-
hind them sat a gentleman and his
wife. few moments before the cur
tain went up one of the gentlemen in
the front row put his arm on the back
of fis companions seat. While talk
ing to his friend he felt slight pinch
on the arm. On looking around he
saw that the lady behind him had
turned to look up to the balcony, and
in so doing had placed her hand on his
arm. Realizing that she had done so
unconsciously, he did not move his
arm.
Soon, however, he felt hard pinch.
Thinking that the best way to call the
1ady's attention to what she was doing
would be to ask if anything was
wanted the gentleman turned and
asked:
What is it, madam"
Sir" said the lady, and immcdi-
ately the husband blazed up.
what do you mean by speaking to
my wife?'' he demanded.
Don't mean anything" was the re-
ply, but / would like to know what
your wife means by pinching my arm"
Then both men looked at the ladys
hand, which still rested on the arm.
Both smiled. became a little nervous
and apologized. During the rest of
the performance the lady kept her
hand in her muff.

A CHINESE LEPER.

Horr ible Revelations From Climate wn,
san Francisco.
officers of the San Francisco China
town police squad crawled down into
a dark and dirty basement the other
day and discovered a Chinese leper.
When they entered the dark, foul
smelling hole their eyes were unable
to penetrate the blackness until a can
die had been produced and lighted.
Then they gropei their way back to
the rear of the cellar. humping their
heads on the joists above; then down
a pair of stairs into a deeper and still
fouler pit, where they found the leper.
he is an old man, probably 65 years
of age, and for two years he is said to
have been penned up in windowless
and almost airless room, the stencil
from which drove the policemen out
when they first ventured in. They re-
turned with lanterns, however, and a
horrible sight was exposed to their
gaze. They found the leper all but
helpless His whole body was in an
awful condition and the terrible dis
ease had eaten nearly all the flesh
from one of his legs.
When the policemen left the place
an officer was stationed there to guard
the leper's pen. Sergeant Gillen at
once notified the board of health OF
the discovery, and Policeman McManus
went to the headquarters of the Chi
nese Six companies, where the secre-
tary was made acquainted with the
facts The Six Companies positively
refused to render any assistance, de-
claring that the matter was no con-
Germ of theirs, and the policeman was
turned away. The leper must be dis
posed of by order of the board of
health.

THE MARVELLOUS BACTERIA.

The reproductive powers of many
species of bacteria is so marvellous as to
be entirely beyond belief. Prof. Lau

organisms that were capable of doub-
ling their number every hour.
When in good condition an average

Der of individuals then exceeding 2S1.-

rect land scientists of ability have proven
that they are rs near as such figures can
possibly be approximatcd from the very
