Kit Riley SOlemnly Promises to Leave
Town.

Kit Riley Solemnly Promises to Leave
For the past two or three years an
individual has been in our midst who
has borne the cognomen of Kit Riley.
1t is her especial delight to tank her
self occasionally and she has been be-
fore Magistrate Schroeder-well,
more than once, anyway, and on each
occasion she has cried her way into
the heart of the squire and has been
let off with light fine, but like
everything else, even this becomes
monotonous. Last evening she was
found wandering on the streets about
II O'Clock, and freebrewervated, at
that, SO that this morning when she
came before the squire, Chief Sexton
charged her with vagrancy, and
kittie plead-s.Let me 30 with fine
and I'll leave town this morning. -
she walled. Once more the squire
gave her a chance; he only fined her
$50 and costs or 80 days in Jail, and
she promised to pay the fine. and
when she does she will have to bid
adieu to Rock Island and shake its
dust from her feet forever.
More Beauties.
Mabel Thompson became beastly
intoxicated last evening, and was
taken to the station, where she
couldn't tell her own name. This
morning Magistrate Schroeder fined
her SO and costs, and she is lying in
Jail awaiting the good angel of free
dom to come and shake her mitt.
Maud Smith was fined S. and costs
for disorderly conduct by Squire
Schroeder this morning.

the talking was done by Attorneys
johnson and Carlisle for the plaintiff,
and Butterworth and Shelby for the
defense.
Miss Pollard's counsel surprised the
defense by making sweeping
objection TO all their dispositions on
the ground that they had been taken 10
an irregular, manner. Mr.. Johnson
made this point and argument that the
mere notice given TO opposing counsel
that dispositions were to be taken 40 .
certain time and place did not consti-
tute sufficient legal authority 10 give
them standing ia the ease.
This practice has always been fol.
lowed by the Circuit Court, and before
the attorneys had finished their argn-
ments, Judge Bradley told them thath
did not care 10 hear more on this Ques-
ton, so that his opinion upon IL is evi.
IDENTIFY fixed.
Beside this ground OF contention, the
dispositions mentioned were objected 20
and specific objections were made 70
parts of other dispositions by Or. Lewis
and others who testified that they had
seen or heard Of a certain Miss Pollard
in houses Of assignatiOn, because they
did not even prove that the person re-
ierred TO was the plaintiff in the case.

EASTERN STAR

On Tuesday evening last Miriam
Chapter No. 1, held regular meeting
the first one in the new temple lodge
room, and with at least four-ffths OF
the entire membership Of the chapter
present, words could not express the
surprise OF many of the sister mem
bers on first viewing the interior OF the
lodge room, since it had been furnished,
and they were in doubt whether they
were in the same apartments as when
the Fair and Festival was held but a
few weeks ago. Every member were
glad they had moved there, although
the old hall was coy and and comfor-
table, but rather too small 20 display

unanimous request Bro. Bliss, was
brought in from the lonely reception
room, and made u member Of the body,
during this chapter meeting, for we
who have been on the watch tower

could not rest until he was one of the

THE SECRET SOCIETIES
MASONRY.

On Monday evening last Ohio Lodge
No. / met in monthly communication
with such large gathering OF brethren
aud visitors present as TO revert our
minds back to the days long gone when
the lodge room ia the first Washinton
Hall building was nightly filled, and
there is no reason why the large gath
erings should not be continued, not only
Ohio Lodge, but at the meetings OF
every Masonic body OF our city, Tor sure
lv anv man an Mason can give at least
one hour or more from his business to
be in his lodge, chapter, or comman-
derv once a month if be wants too. Do
so brethren, and when your find what
a comfortable lodge room or asylum
chamber we have, we believe you will
mIngle with the faithful ones and assist
them In the masonic work, part you
know does in reality belong TO you.
Come and see your new home, with the
finest elevator in the city al you service
10 carry you up to it. AZ the meeting
above mentioned, work was had IN the
NJ. NJ. Degree on two candidates, ana
which was well done considering that
everything appeared new 70 work with
such elegant aud cOmodlous apart
ments, after having worked the same
decree in the little lodge room from
whence the lodge recently removed. As
one OF the Past Masters suggested, we
hope the work will be frightened up,
and then the exquisite appearance OF
the room and the work imDressiyely
done will coincide nicely.
a NnfEnn
No. 80 met in regular meenting with
more work on hand and a larger atten-
dance of brethren present than has
been seen gathered in any lodge IN
Wheeling for many moons, and shows
plainly, from a Masonic standpoint,
that imDroments of every description
i'm our city now 60 hand in hand, The
cCprs of officers OF the lodge being very
proficient in the ritual as was perceived
on last evening, worked the Entered
Apprentice, Fellow Craft, and Master
MasOn's degree on one candidate each,
and the brethren who saw the rendi-
ton, left the lodge room az It's close
with the feeling within them, that
their time had been well spent there.
On the same evening the members OF
Charity Chapter NO. /, hose CrolA OF
the Scottish Rite, Southern Jurisdic-
ton, met in the west lodge room, and
after the usual ceremonies attendant to
the celebration OF Maundy Thursday,
went TO Hotel Windsor where they
banqueted together as is the yearly Gus
tom.
The bodies meeting for the coming
week are Wheeling Commandery on
Monday evening, when work will be
had in the orders, and which will insure
a fun turnout of the Warrior Knights
in full uniform ready for the fray.
On Tuesday evening there will be a
large gathering OF bretheren TO witness
the work which will be had OF that
occasion by Bates Lodge No. 80, for
many ara the candidates who are now
on the way 10 be masters, and very
great interest is taken by the members
of the lodge in its affairs. II is reported
that several Of our lodges areOrganizing
teams TO assist in the rendition OF the
work, that is a step in the right direc-
ton, and I hope they will become per
manent, too, and vie with each other TO
excel.

The Children q, Youthful Parents Gen

In this country early marriages are
less frequent than 10 Europe, because
the occupations Of women are 80 numer-
Gus that nearly every young woman can
maintain herself specially by earning
her own living, while 10 Europe tho
same class find matrImony almost She
only avenue through which they can
escape from a dependent position at
home. IL is none the less important TO
know that marriages contracted before
the parties have reached 20 are 10 be
regretted The reasons given b ys4oAa

OF women who are married before 10

mature life with strong constitutions
The healthiest onsprIngs are bora TO
mothers between 30 and 80 who are
united 10 husbands between 30 and 40.
and 10 has been found in Europe, where
early marriages are very common. that
the death OF children from weak cOnstl-
tutlons are twice as large among tho
children whose mothers we're under 20
years Of age as they were among the
children OF mothers who were over 80.
The difference between America ani
Europe IN this matter Of early mar
rlages Is chiefly due 90 the way n
which our girls are able 70 reach out 20
self-support after they have attained
marriageable age. DR.. Cyrus Eds0n, n
the North american, gives important
statistics % show that, although ln this
country the evil OF early marriages Is
not so great as 10 might be, the number
OF brides under 20 who were married

1892 lt was 1853. The number OF

the greater number OF brides are repor-

Ing for an American city. and New
York is probably a fair evidence for the
age OF brides IN other large towns and
cities. In Hungry the girls become
women at the age Of lJ, and in that
country 3 per cent OF the marriages

ture. Material success may not be Of
greatest svalue. But 1t is believed
10 meet the requirements OF the
multitude, however, not by the
abolition of all forms Of instruction, but
by the addition OF certain features, tue
utility OF which have been sufficiently
demonstrated. IL is not to take the
place of purely intellectual training,
but to supplement it, The farmer, the
artisan, the engineer, the mechanic,
should have intellectual training.
Whatever pertains to physical rather
than mental exercise is part OF manual
training. There is too much repression
upon TIE young in the public schools.
A manual training school will set 20
work the activities in useful channels.

WASHINGTON, March 24.-Touching
the new treaty which has beea negoti-
ated between the government of this
country and China, 1t is learned that for
several years past the Chinese govern
ment has been earnestly pressing upon
our government the deSirabi!ity Of such
an agreement, and has represented that
while the Chinese empire was desirous
Of maintaining friendly relations wish
the United States, it will be difficult TO
do so in the present spirit of the Chinese
if some concession was not made. II
has also complained that the Scott and
Geary laws were in cOntraveniion OF the
treaties heretofore negotiated.
The present treaty is generally con-
coded as the fOreluuner of q CONNER
cial treaty, the draft Of which is be-
lieved TO have been made and forward
ed to China for the inspection OF the
Chinese government. Secretary Gresh-
am is known 10 DE anxious 10 signalize
his administration Of the State depart
ment by perfecting an agreement which
will Increase the Commercial, interests
of the United States in the Chinese
empire, but has found the existing law
concerning the Chinese 10 act as a bar
rier to a proceeding in this direction
and II is inferred from the few ntima-
tions that have been received that the
Chinese government is inclined to make
the ratification OF the migration treaty
a condition in the Chinese acceptancy
of the commercial treaty which is still
in suspense
