| Adopt Resolutions Relative to the Move
| lnaugurated by the Council.
The Liquor Dealers Protective
association in monthly session at the
Turner hall this afternoon adopted
the following resolutions drafted bv
Messrs. John Ohlweiler aud Gustav
Stengel appointed for that purpose:
Whereas, The city council at its
regular meeting held August 10,
1895, passed an ordinance repeating
the sO-called Sunday closing
clause" with special reference to the
places OF business of the members OF
this association; and
| Whereas, The effect of this action
of the city council is to allow saloons
to be open and run on Sunday with
out hindrance or interference on the
part Of the city authorities; there
| fore
BE it resolved, That we rccog-
nizc the fact that the city of Rock
Island, by reason of it's location as a
railroad center and river city, and
also by reason of its general surround
ings, being point OF interest and
| of great attraction to eXcursionists
and Sunday visitors. will reap great
benefit from the saloon business on
Sunday, provided that such business
is conducted in proper and orderly
| manner, and that such benefit will
accrue to the community at large.
and all business interests in parlicu-
lar; and furthermore. that whatever
salutary effect Sunday legislation on
this subject and its strict enforce
ment may have in general, such
effect is frustrated by the close prox-
unity of the city of Rock Island to
the city of Davenport. where saloon
business ON Sunday is unrestricted,
and to the river traffic.
Resolved further, That while we
appreciate the spirit which dictated
and prompted this action of the city
council, and while we enter fully
into the same, and feel deeply CRATE
full to the city council for its liberal
ity and kind consideration of our
interests, we do not desire and
do not intend to take advan-
tage of the privilege thus ac-
corded to us in its full extent, but
that we will. and thereof assure the
council hereafter. as we have done
heretofore, conduct our business on
Sunday in a manner as little obtru-
sivc as possible;
Resolved further, That we hereby
authorize our executive committee
to see that these resolutions are
strictly observed by all the members
of our association, and to exact from
all members absolute obedience to
the wishes of this association thus
expressed. and for this purpose said
committee is invested with all neces-
sarv power: furthermore. to cooperate
with the city authorities in all their
efforts to enforce all needful laws
and regulations concerning our bust
ness, and to insist on the proper and
orderly carrying on of said business.
Resolved, That copy of these
preambles and resolutions be sub
mitted to the city council of the city
of Rock Island at its next meeting.

ATTEMPTING TO DROP AN ANCHOR

One Of the Verne SWANS Crow Meets
with Fatal Mishap-A Colored Woman
Killed ON the Railroad ut wslnat Grove

Stephen Churchill, mate on the
local packet, Verne Swain, was
drowned at the mouth OF Duck creek
yesterday afternoon while the boat
was northbound. The little steamer

Just left the SWANS side, when the
weight of the anchor capsized her
and the occupants were precipitated
into the water. The roustabouts

were saved. Churchill, however, at
tempted to swim to the steamers
side. but was caught in the swift
running current, against which he
was powerless to battle, and drowned.
The Verne Swain remained at the
scene of the catastrophe most of the
night. and every possible effort was
made by Capt. Streckfus to recover
the body Of the unfortunate man.
but he was unsuccessful and the
boat finally proceeded on her way up
the river. The boat did not make
her regular trip down today in con-
sequence of the delay.
Churchill was a single man. about
80 years of age. He came out from
Maine three years ago and had
been on the river since.

REVOLUTION IN ECUADOR.

Ecuador has had a revolution, fair share of excitement and now new President and entire change of adminis- tration. General Alfaro, the leader of the insurgents, has hopelessly defeated the governments troops and taken Quito. Naturally enough, the next step was to declare himself a new man of destiny and take possession of the coun- try in his own name.
 It is quite probable that the General has a bigger contract on his hands than he bargained for. They are not consist ent, these Latin-American nations What pleases them today displeases them tomorrow Who rules them at sun rise may serve them at night Besides their ethics of electoral work permits free fight every time new candidate for honors arises. If man wants to be President he must prove his right by the strength of his sword. This General Alfaro has done. It remains to be seen how long he will be in possession.

A Romance.

The Knight of the Golden Lance drew rein upon his richly caparisoned steed in front of the ancient castle of Doonder borg says the New York Sun.
 The portcullis was battened down and the draw bridge was reefed close to the jamb of the battlement doorway.
 The castle presented a gruesome gray front and the knight was so impressed by it that he did not observe the daugh- ter of the seneschal. who was working in a small garden beyond the moat.
 As no one appeared to greet the knight he concluded to make his presence known by word of mouth.
 What, ho there!" he shouted.
 The daughter of the seneschaf looked up suddenly. She had not before ,ob- served the knight.
 No response being forthcoming the knight shouted again.
 What, ho, there!"
 "'Taint no hoe" sung the girl tits a spade" And she shook it at him.
 Being thus called down the Knight of the Golden Lance felt himself so hurt at his m,sadventure that he threw brick at the daughter of the seneschal and withdrew in silence.

TEN THOUSAND TO ONE.

There is a world of room for thought in the statement of banker to an Age Herald man yesterday afternoon that there are upward of 10000 more men at work in this district now than at the same time last year.
 Here ia a nut for the iron-jawed howler to crack. The Age-Herald will venture to assert that not one of those 10000 mem can be made to believe that times are worse or that this prosperity is fictitious. To them it is a hard reality-hard work for hard money.
 The banker went on to say that the savings deposits in his and other banks were nearly 50 per cent greater than last year. Here is more cause for felicitaton. Our workingmen have learned a lesson from experience. They are beginning to save. By and by more of them will own their homes. All know that an industrial community where the percentage of home-owning labor is large is safest from nasty, ill-considered strikes and from manifestations of lawlessness whenever strikes cannot be avoided.
 Go to the furnaces and mines, thou croaker; consider their weighs and be wise.

THE GOULD SCHOLARSHIP.

Miss Helen Miller Gould has founded two scholarships and each with an en- dowment of $5000. One is in the New York University College and the other in the New York University School of Pedagogy. "In memory of the late Jay Gould" the endowment reads, and the conditions are such as are usually ap- pended to similar gifts.
 Miss Gould is quite young but seems to take an active interest in public and educational affairs. She evidently has leaning toward the South, for much of her time is spent in this section, prin- cipally in Florida. She readily consented to act as sponsor for the Chickasaw Guards at the recent prize drills held in Memphis. III health preventing her attendance she sent the company a mag nifcent flag, with a simple expression of regret.
 The scholarships she has founded are open to all, any one who can furnish testimonials of good character being ad- mitted to the examination, and the final preference being given to students who reside upon the railroad lines in which her father was directly interested.
 It is unfortunate that more-'of the monied men and women of America do not show a like interest in matters of education. Miss Gould is building wiser than even she knows. Such bestowals are far reaching, and no better tribute to her fathers memory will ever be paid than these two scholarships founded by his daughter.
