SUGGEST COURSE.
The Supervisory Committee on the New
Hospital Reports.

The committee OF the board of su.
pcrvisors which visited Springfield
this week in the interest of Rock Isl
and county in view Of the location OF
the proposed new Western Insane
hospital, has issued report in
which mention is made III The cor
dial reception at the hands of the
governor, and the urgency of timely
action il Rock Island county desires
to secure this state institution. The
supervisors, J. A. Wilson, A. +. Vim
ton and W. r. Quaylc. who append
their signatures to the report. say:
From all the Information we
could gather we were of the opinion
that if Rock Island county wants the
new insane hospital, its citizens
must come forward and take imme-
date action in the matter. The bill
requires 2lO acres Of ground most of
which mus: be good farming land.
Recommendations.
Now we recommend a joint meet
ing of the citizens of Rock Island ard
Moline to ne held within the next few
days, when immediate action should
be taken in the matter of securing an
option on several tracts of land that
will meet the requirements of the
bill. The location of the new insane
hospital in this locality is of the
greatest Importance. as will be seen
from brief statement of the benefits
derived from other similar state in
situations in the localities in which
they exist and which we have thor
oughly investigated. The Northern
Hospital for the Insane located at
Elgin. which was started with an APP
preparation of 100000 in 1870, has
cost the state nearly 80, 900. 900 in the
matter of buildings up to this time.
The Eastern Hospital for the Insane
located ut Kankakce, was started
with an appropriation of s2)O.O0O in
1877, and up to the present time over
$3.Oo0,00o have been expended in
new buildings and improvements.
The Central Hospital for the Insane
at jacksonville, large institution.
represents an outlay Of over 3d.
O)c.000. The Southern hospital for
the insane at Anna represents also
an outlay Of $4,000, 900 in the matter
Of buildings. The above facts and
figures are CLEANED from reports of
the state board of public charities.
and do not represent the annual ap-
preparations made by the state each
year for the support and maintain
ance Of these institutions. This
brief estimate of the amount Of
money expended for permanent inn
provemcnts of the several institu-
tons As given above ought to be sui
iicient to arouse the citizens of this
locality to the Importance OF secur-
ing this new institution. 1t will be
the purpose of this committee to do

Mrs. Fred Sessions came around ves-

and confessed that she had been wrong.

against her husband. and smilingly car
ried him off in triumph to their home.
She approached Deputy District At
torney James and asked if tnere was any
way for her to withdraw the complaint
against her husband, as she thought be
had better not be prosecuted. Mr.. James
told her the only course was for her to
pay the costs, which amounted to So.
She thought this would occasion no diff
Guilty, ana forthwith produced the nscss-
sary sum.
The woman declared they had always
lived happily together until friends and
relatives got in and persuaded her that
Fred had not treated her right. Tho
relatives did not want them to marry in
the nrst place, and had been instru-
mental in causing her to act so foolishly.
Mr. end Mrs. Sessions went away per-
fectly reconcied. but it is a safe bet that

rlusic at St. Paul's Church

Next Sunday evening the choir at St.
Paul's church will give another of the
musical services for which it Is already
so favorably known. On this occasion
Mozart's Seventh Mass will be rendered
entire. The church authorities have en-
gagged the services of Madam Martinez as
solo soprano. Madam Martinez has oc-
cupied that position in somo of the first
churches and cathedrals in the world,
where interpretations of sacred music are
of the highest and most cultured order.
The choir at St. Paul's will enter upon
the study and rendition of some of the
most important works of the masters
during the coming months. The rector
and vestrymen have determined 10 make
every possible effort to raise the standard
OF tho service to the highest possible
degree. The public is invited to attend
tomo orrow nights service. Every pers on
is requested to bring an offering for the
collection, which will be taken for the
benefit of the musical service ana not for

THE LAST DAY OF TENNIS
Arthur BImil!er and Miss Jones Yin
the Mixed Doubles
The Distribution Of Prizes Take, Place In
the Afternoon - Bumiil,r's
Unique Winning

Today closed the tenth annual tourna-
ment of the Southern California Lawn
Tennis association. and though perhap ps
not exciting the attention that has been
given the previous affairs. still the play
was of a high order and it has served to
bring a nun Der of new players before the
tennis.loving public. AS promoter Of
SOCIAL feeling the game has few equals.
and 1t is a sport that from time imme-
mortal has been entirely given up to the
more wealthy of the population.
For the week the honors undoubtedly
fall to the lot OF Arthur Bumiller OF Los
Angeles. His gaTe is strong one and
with training and coaching might be
made INTO the equal of anything in the
state. He has won everything in the
tournament with the single exception OF
the champi onship doubles. winning the
association uoublss. but losing the cham.
riOnship to the Pasadena men, MessrS.
Freeman and Picher.
The event for the day was mixed doubles
and here again the playing of Arthur Bu-
miller was OF the highest order. The
first match was between Rumiller, with
Miss Marion Jones for II partner, and MIR.
Way. chaperoned by MIS-. Hendrick. Miss
Jones was a trlhe unsteady IN this first
set and Mrs. Hendrick's steady hack
hand made its presence known. Way
played n good game and his partner took
thestirst set. 46.
In the second set Miss Jones steadied
and her drive in was of the greatest pos
sible assistance to Bumlller in the game.
This Young lady is not afraid to hit the
bali harl and places her drives fairly
we'll. By persistent driving Bumiller and
his partner wore out their opponents and
they took the next two sets in compara-
lively quick time. Way seemed to lose
his grip in the last set and Mrs. Hendrick
had to do most of the work. Scores,
81. 6-2.
Mrs. Chouteau and Frank Carter de-
faulted to Mrs. Teale and Paul Arnold.
and that brought into the finals Miss
Jones and Arthur Bu.niller against them.
1t was not very good match, for Mr..
Arnold never seemed to recover the form
th,t he lost in his game with Bumiller.
His famous drive that IN Its com plete
form is one of the most dangerous stroks
that it is possible to imagine was OF no
avail except as tirst-class loser. Mrs.
as fast "A performance as thar of her oppo-
merit, Miss Jones. Bumiller's game was
of stelf quite enough to win the game
for his team, and as a consequence the
match went OFT in short order. Score,
6-1, 6-3.
In the afternoon the distribution of
prizes was held and Mr.. Bumiller had
the unlque distinction OF receiving first
prize for every event IN which he was
entered. This is tho first time that such
a thing has taken place at any tourna-
ment given by the association and is TACT
that is worthy OF record.

NOT IN SHAPE TO DIE
And Because of This a Tough Character Is
n Free Man


On or about August 221 William Dunn,
who has livery stable on Requena street,
was stabbed IN the add omen by tough
character named Payne. who Immediately
left the city. The injury upon Mr.. Durm
was a most serious one. Fortunately he
is now mending, but it will yet be some
time before he will be able to be about
Payne. who had been wiper IN the en-
ploy of the Southern Pacific Railroad COM
pany, was located on Wednesday last at
FL Casco. Why he was not taken into
custody at once is ex planned in letter,
dated the 28th. that Constable J. H..
Johnston Of this city received from NJ.
A. Bagley, constable and deputy sheriff
at Cotton, San Bernardino county, a copy
of which is here given:
"Just received telegram. Mr.. Payne is
at El Casco, waiting for pay car on S. =.

would kill the man who arrested him,

to go out to Ell Casco, and as l am not in
shape to die will expect you to make the
arrest. Payne will be there until pay

Constable Johnston, who has spent $50
or $35 OF. his own money on the case,
promptly went ont to FL Casco, only to
find that the bird had gone to Arizona
the day before And so ends the chase,
for a time at least. And the man who by

ANNOUNCEMENTS
b SATURDAY. AUGUST 81, 1898.
A VICTORY FOR THE HERALD

The Herald feels that it has done the
having brought the police mmission
to realizing sense of the condition Of
public sentiment IN regard to the Ala
media street fence question. and the pro.
posed turning over to Mr.. Bauer of
monopoly of the slave trade in dissolute
women. The Herald has won its fight
for the decent people OF this city. The
fence is to be pulled down at once. The
women are to be removed Immediately
from Alameda street. Mr.. Bauer's saloon
license Is not worth the paper it is writ
ten upon. And this is the result of the
contest this journal has made for what
was right.
Police Commissioner Barham last
evening said to Herald Ieprese ntative:
81 acted in what l believed was the right
policy, as did the other members of the
board. have studied carefully what the
Herald has had to say about the matter,
however, and l have come to the con-
clusion that what your paper las held is
right-that we are not in office to say
what laws are good or what are bad. You
are right in your view that it is our
duty to see that the laws, as we find
them, are enforced. and that is what is
going to be done now. The fence is to be
pulled down. The women are to be moved
off of Alameda street. The Sunday
closing law is to be enforced, the same on
Spring street as on Main street; rich
saloon men and poor saloon men will
have to obey it strictly. II the people do
not like these laws they can repeal them.
but so long as they are on the statute
books we propose to see that they are
obeyed.'
The Herald congratulates the people
on this happy result, and in all m odesty
congrstulatss itself on its share of the
good work. 1t congratulates the honor
able members Of the police comm issIon
on tho noble stand they have taken. This
paper is here in the interests of the
whole people, and in support OF the right,
and law and order, though the heavens
fall; and 1t will always give its hearty
support, regardless OF petty party feeling,
to those officials who show that they are
honest iE their endeavors to do what is
right.
