Mr.. WALTER CLIFFORD SMITH,
formerly editor of the STAR, de-
livered lecture OH Hawaii at San
Diego, California, on September
18th, before the naval reserve OF
that district. Mr.. Smith reserved
the political portion of his lecture for
the last in which he treated of
interesting personal traits of Kala-
kaua and the ex-queen. The
lecture was delivered in Mr. Smith S
usual clear and forcible style, and
drew frequent applause. With
lamentations the lecture, as re-

sent the facts as they occurred.

Dear Sir: Referring to your inquiry

that the Rock Island public building
has priority over other Illinois build

At my request the supervising
architect sent for Col. Lowe, who
brought the list of buildings for
which plans were yet to be prepared.
That list included the buildings in
the whole United States, and the
public building at Rock Island was
ninth on the list. | did not note the
names OF the eight places. because
that seems immaterial: but | made q
note OF the statement at the time.

RAILROAD CHANGES.
Trainmaster's Office on the o Abolished
Other Information.

Other Information.
The position of trainmaster on the
Rock Island and st. Louis division
of the c., b. & Q. was abolished
Sunday in pursuance of a policy
which the Burlington will probably
apply to all its branches soon, the
duties being merged with those of
division uperintcndent, Superin-
tendent W. q. Besler holding the
consolidated Office on his division. j.
c. Stanton, who has filed the posi-
ton of trainmaster for the past seven
years with credit to himself and his
company, has resumed his old place
as conductor between Rock Island
and st. Louis. taking out Conductor
Terry's train this morning. The
day passenger crews are now headed
by Conductors Stanton, Barber and
Pollard, Conductor Terry going back
tn a night run on his return from
Hot Springs. Conductors Teller and
Rogers being on the other night
runs, while Conductor Heffncr will
take Conductor Terry's place until
his return. The changes do not in
any sense involve set backs in the
ranks OF the conductors. The COM
pany has simply done away with an
Office, and the men who had held adj
vanced positions while that Office eX-
listed have been given the next best
the company had, which is evidence
OF how they are appreciated.
Conductor Stanton may eventually
move his family back to Rock Island,
though this is not determined, as he
owns property in Bcardstown.

gin proceedings, and the railroad
companies have sent in a counter pc
titlon signed by 32S citizens. asking
