An Interesting Event,

The Kings Daughters, Of Rock Isl
and, are planning to give their friends
a yer table treat. as it is learned they
have engaged Frank G. Carpenter.
the celebrated correspondent. to give
his illustrated talk on Japan under
their auspices at a matinee at Har-
per's theatre, the afternoon of March
80.
Mr.. Carpenter is we'll known to the
reading public as one of the most
brilliant and industrious writers of
his day. For 10 years. as a Wash
ington correspondent, a dozen or
more leading newspapers had some
thing of timely interest every day
from his unflagging pen. He became
a great interviewer of our public
men. and after a few years Washing
ton proved too narrow field for him
and he accordingly became a globe
trotter and has been around the
world twice interviewing the great
people.
One of his most memorable jour-
neys was to Russia the year of the
terrible famine, when he accom-
panied the American commissioners
who took the corn and wheat from
Illinois and Iowa to the starving
peasants. Early last year Carpenters
instinct for news led him to witt the
Orient for a second time. equipped
for long overland journeys, and with
a fine photographing outfit. His
published letters from Japan and
Korea early in the year show that he
clearly anticipated the war that
afterwards broke out. In this re.
spect he was six months ahead of all
other correspondents. He spent the
summer travelling over Japan. China
and Korea, making the journey across
the latter country entirely on horse
back. He returned in the fall after
hostilities had broken out between
japan and China, brim full of the
latest Information touching those
countries, and what was of greater
Importance, he brought back 1000
new and rare photographs taken
under his supervision. His talks are
therefore replete with valuable infor-
nation illustrated by works of art
for that is what many of his pictures
are il eastern newspapers are judges.
He gives 100 of these beautiful pic
lures with his lecture on Japan. He
calls the Japanese 1.-The Yankees Of
the Orient" and says they are the
brightest and brainiest of Asiatic ma
tions. and every phase Of their won
derful civilization is touched upon
and illustrated. A great deal more
could be said of Mr.. Carpenters work
and Of his Asiatic tours, but the peo-
pie will have an opportunity of hear
ing the story from his own lips.

We're Up With the Times.

Here is another evidence that the
tri-city street railway system is
ahead of most, cities in modern
equipment. 1t is from the New York
Mercury:
beginning tonight the trustees of
the Brooklyn bridge announce that
the bridge cars will be lighted by
electricity. Each car will be fitted
with 10 incandescent lights of 16 can
die power each, which will be suffi-
cient to furnish excellent illumina-
ton and render it possible for pas
sengers to read with comfort in every
part of a car"
The tri city street cars have been
illuminated by electricity for years
and now the bridge cars are not only
lighted but heated by the same mys-
FERROUS agency.

TONIGHT'S CONVENTION.
The Democrats Will Place . Strong
Ticket In the Field,

Tonight the democratic city-town-
ship convention is to meet at Turner
hall to nominate candidates for the
various city offices. After Saturday
nights republican tangle and the
outcome, the party's confidence is
strengthened to the extent that it
feels that it has only to name a good
ticket to win. This it is sure to do.
Those mentioned for mayor are
Aid. r. Kuschmann, Charles Nc
Hugh, Aid. William Roth. C. B.
Marshall, Arthur Burial and
c. j. Long. For clerk, Albert ID.
Huesing will unquestionably be re-
nominated by reclamation. Fon
treasurer Harry Simmon and Paul
Hamilton are the candidates most
spoken of. For city attorney c. b.
Marshall and b. ID. Connolly are be-
ing talked of. For assessor J. E.
Reidy, NJ. W. Battles, and George
w. Henry are both favorites, while
for collector Leo Deisenroth seems
to be the choice. For assistant su-
pervisors John Ohlweiler. j. T.
Shields. John Wick, T. A. Fender,
Gustav Klotz. Charles Rite, b.
Winter j. f. Larkin and NJ. NJ.
Briggs are suggested.
During the day there has been a
growing sentiment in favor of
Charles McHugh for mayor, and this
afternoon responding to it, number
of democrats called upon him, and
sought his consent in the event of his
nomination. MIR. McHugh insisted
that he was not seeking the honor,
but if the convention should select
him he would not decline.
