Strange surroundings.
From the Philadelphia Record.


From the Philadelphia Record.
New York, Aug. 5.-In a small low
room on the second floor of a Japanese
boarding house, on Catherine street, was
held to-day the funeral of Eva Wassa,
once Eva Eastwood, or McGinnis of Nine
teenth and Diamond streets, Philadel-
phia The room was draped III black,
candles surrounding the coffin, which
rested on trestles against the wall. Flow
ers we're piled high about the room.
The woman died Thursday of consump-
ton. The neighbors shrugged their
shoulders and said, Dope" She had
violated the unwritten law, which says
no white woman shall marry an Oriental
She paid for it by being neglected by all
but the Japanese and the church. In her
last hour a Roman Catholic missionary
administered the last rites.
At the funeral services curious neigh
bors filled the room. Japanese men and
women were present, but no Cinnamon
A big copper samovar bubbled and
steamed in the room. Beside 1t was a
plate of sandwiches At intervals the
widower passed the food about among
the mourners and curiosity seekers. The
father had never forgiven Eva for marry
ing Jap and would not attend the
funeral.

A Washington dispatch to the Chi

will be read with much regret in
Rock Island. while the hope will be
generally expressed that Mr.. Cable
may rapidly recover:
Ben Cable is threatened with pncu.
monia. He reached here last nigh,
from New York and went to the
Shoreham hotel. He had Il severe
cold and summoned a physician. The
latter, after brief examination,
told him to go to bed at once and
stay there till permission was given
him to get up.
whats the mattcr?n Cable in
quired.
YOU'RE threatened with pneu.
menia." the physician replied.
So Cable went to bed and is there
now. He is about the same TODAY,
and his vigorous constitution will,
the doctor thinks, enable him to
check further progress of the dan.
gerous complaint.

The Need Of the Improvement
Association.
MUCH TO BE LOOKED AFTER.

The Arsenal Appropriations, tho Union
Depot. Paving Progress and Other Public
Projects That the City Is Interested in
Steps should he Taken.
The Rock Island Citizens Improve
ment association should be resu scita-
ted. It should either be revived. or a
similar organization started on a
broader scope that is to include the al
fractions aud inducements of social,
as well as a progressive order. All
modern cities have organizations of
this kind. The Rock Island Improve
ment association did much for the
city in its time. 1t not only aided
and encouraged~the council in the
matter of street paving and park i'm
provements, but it inaugurated and
carried forth many undertakings
that looked to the best interests OF
the community Many of these
might be mentioned if space would
allow. hut it is only necessary to say
now that the influence of body OF
representative smen such as this.
always has weight in the affairs of
the locality. and just now the en-.
dorsement of such body would ma
terialiy aid the carrying forth OF
many enterprises in which the city
is vitality Interested.
Projects Deserving encouragement.
The business mems associations all
about us have endorsed the appro.
priations asked for by Col. Bufiington
for the maintenance OF Rock Island
arsenal. This is matter that should
receive the most hearty support of
the people OF Rock Island. Then
there is the union depot. spoken OF
more in detail elsewhere; the suhicc,
of 4 new court house, the paving cx.
tensions in various directions and
other undertakings that should not
be allowed TO lapse or drag.
The Rock Island Citizens I'm.
provcment association should take a
new lease of life. There is every
possible induccment for such a
course. President Carsc would dc
well To call a meeting. and il Score
tary Day ear manage to get hold OF
the records of the association, the
accounts. THE ARGUS believes, nigh,
he readily adjusted. and the associa-
ton start out on a new footing, and
again demonstrates its usefulness in
the community.

PAVE TIE STREET.

Tonight.
A meeting has been called ut the

is sincerely TO be hoped that the peo-
pie who own property on Seven
tcenih street will not put themselves
down as the first to oppose public
Improvements in Rock Island. Up
to the present time the work of paw
ing extensions has gone steadily
along in Rock Island. the only sec
ton of the city where the least dis
position has been manifest 10
retard The improvement be-
ing on Twentieth street south
OF Ninth avenue. and it is
fact worthy Of note that the same
extensive land owners who have
sought and are seeking 10 obstruct
progress in that thoroughtarc are the
same people who are most interested
in the Improvement on Sew
enteenth street. 1t is fact not to be
disputed that there are some land
owners on Seventeenth street to
whom paving will come rs great
hardship, but that has been the case
all over the city. The burden must
surely fall more heavily upon, some
than 1T does on others. This is a
misfortune that cannot be avoided
Private interests must be sacrificed
for the public good in every great
public enterprise. But because by
reason of some property-holders own
ing extensive unimproved land in
the suburbs OF the city, they should
not anticipate that the city is to sus-
pend its system of puAlic improve
ments the moment il strikes them.
Seventeenth Needs Attention.
Seventeenth street is one of the
main streets coming into the city.
1t leads directly to Market square
and the business heart of town. 1t
ought to be the first street paved
running out from the ely, and the
Improvement is one that in the inter
est OF pubhc welfare The ARGUS
trusts will not he delayed.
