Those curious twists and turns super
stitions take are to be found in the in
PRODUCTION Of horses skulls in or about
the church buildings in England and
Scotland, the reason alleged being to
help the sound in,church.
This habit is unquestionably a relic
OF beathenism where an animal was
sacrificed. Some years ago, when an old
meeting house in Edinburgh was pulled
down. the sounding board space above
the pulpit was found to be filled with
horses skulls.
In some parts Of England there still
exists the idea that il q horses head is
buried in field there will be an echo

The attorneys for the people in the
Twentieth street depot case few
days since received word that the
Cairo case, on which the fight in the
Rock Island union depot litigation is
based, would be Sssued in the SUI
preme court of the United States at
Washington this week. and that the
statement in the Chicago papers
March IA apd copied here to the
effect that the railroad company had
agreed to give up the fight and run
its trains into Cairo. was a canard.
The Cairo case was argued by attor-
neys on both sides in the supreme
court last Tuesday and Wednesday
and will probably be decided soon.

TOLD ABOUT THE THEATRE


eags0sas ~ sAs Harper.
People who attended Harper's
theatre last evening surely had no
occasion to complain of not getting
enough of what they expected-..A
Turkish Bath." In other words the
effects Of the atmosphere ON swelter-
ing humanity was very much sug-
gestive of the title OF the production.
In short it was q sweat. 1t was the
opening bill Of McCoy's stock COM
pany's 4-night engagement. The
house was well filled and the per-
formauce was q very acceptable one.
The company includes several sing
ers and comedians who are capa-
BILE Of putting up.a show exception
ally good for popular prices Their
specialties are up to date and breezy
and about everything the company
attempts is refreshing and entertain
ing. Tonight "A DAshing Widow"
will be given.
Other Attractions.
OF the performance Of Bulwer's
"Richelieu," to be given by Thomas
Ksene. the great actor, and his COM
p any at the Burtis this evening, the
atlantis Consultation says: The
. idience at the Lyceum theatre last
night saw a presentation of Bulwer's
masterpiece. .Richelieu,' that need
not fear comparison or criticism.
And it is matter of local congratu-
lation that such large audience
witnessed the well known master
piece and testified its appreciation
by such enthusiastic and discrimi-
mating applause. Thomas Keene de-
serves such a testimonial. His art
has ripened with years aud study.
He is today an admirable type of the
legitimate actor, with hOn0rs hon.
estly won and with a fame from
which nothing can detract."
OF James A. Herne's charming
pastoral play, ashore Acres" to be
presented at the Bartis Sunday
night. someone who witnessed its
Chicago presentation has written;
There are tears as we'll as laughter
in this wonderful play. Tears that
wash away the stains of sordid sell
hShhOoS1 tu0G OCuCW JhO Sy W.
pathies. that moisten the heart and
make it fertile for the seed of BROTH
erly love; tears that catch the sun
beam of sacrifice and scintillate with
the warm, rich colors of honest en-
deavors; tears that brighten the eyes,
while the lips are wreathed in
smiles. The play has the element
of greatness, for it portrays real life
with q fidelity to truth that boldly
casts the figures. that deity sug-
gests, without labelling, the express
sions, the motives and the life Of the
soul, that tints the skies and out
lines the perspectives until the great
canvas grows out of its gilded frame
aud softly. gradually. unbrokenly
becomes the wonderful scene one
may view from a dormer window in
the house of observation"

and It's Trsvoloss.
Capt. John O'Connor will master
the Inverness this season.
The seasons first raft for the south
passed down yesterday in tow of the
Bart E. Linehan.
Boats up were the Rutledge. Pres.
cote and Pilot, while the Verne Swain
was in and out.
The stage of water at the Rock ISL
and bridge this morning was 100
and rising; the temperature so.
Capt. Wash Hight, the Rock Island
rapids pilot, has hove into port from
the south and will be on deck all
summer to guide boats over the un-
certain passage.
The Mary Morton aud Helen Schu-
lenb.rg will attend to the travel be-
tween the two cities and Offermann's
island this summer. The island has
been leased by Charles Kindt and
Prof. Otto, of Davenport.
The Matt Allen, which Capt. Wal
ter Blair will put into the excursion
business between Burlington and
Clinton this season. is being over
hauled at Kahlke Bros. yards and
may be expected to make her APP
pearance most any day now. The
Matt Allen will be captained bv J.
H. Lacock and Richard Hogan will
be the mate.
Rivermen are on the lookout for a
good sized rise in the river at this
point in . few days or as soon as
the swell can reach here from St.
Paul, where the stream has reached
an unusual depth. But the rise can't
come too soon for the rivermen here,
as the shallowness of the stream has
prevented any OF the packet line
steamers to tread in this locality.
Evidence of life about the little
cottage on the river bank where the
rapids pilots hold forth during the
summer season is once;more percep-
tible. Wash Hight arrived yester-
day from St. Louis and John Souter
has come down from LIE Claire.
These two gentlemen will attend to
the rapid plotting from this end dur
ing the coming summer. and will
therefore be the occupants of the
cottage.
The Libbie Conger, which left for
the south several days ago, will ply
under new ownership this year.
Negotiations for the purchase of the
boat have been in progress for some
time, and the deal was closed at St.
Louis yesterday, Capt. Jacob RIGHT
man transferring the steamer to Cap
tains H. +. Jones, of Wagner, l. T.,
and G. w. Season, of Fulton, Ark,
for $1,000 cash. There was some
talk of operating the Conger on the
Missouri this year, but in view OF
the change of ownership she will
probably be run as a free lance in
the lower Mississippi trade.
The favorite packet w. j. Young
made something of a record ON q re.
cent trip to Burlington. She was
wind bound at Muscatine and tied UP
last Wednesday night, leaving for
Burlington Thursday morning at
O'Clock. Between Muscatine and Bur-
lington considerable time was made
up, the Young pulling into Muscatine
at 11:SO. having covered 80 miles Of
the run in hour and IS minutes.
The fastest time was made between
Muscatine and New Boston, the
Young gliding over that stretch al
the rate of 10 miles an hour. Capt
Blair's natty and popular packet has
the reputation Of being a flyer and
this run indicates that she can hole
| her own with the best of them on the
upper river.

Sophie's "Miss Jennie.'

Miss Jennie looked in the door and
smiled. 1t warmed the bare room, and
made the heart Of the little girl on the
bed beat fast with joy-that smile.
Sophie was alone, and sick. Her
mother went out by the day to wash
and clean; her two sisters were at the
Mission school learning to cook and sew.
Her father was dead.
"Oh!" she cried, 81 did wish you'd
come, but mother said you were too
busy"
Miss Jennie was Sophie's teacher at the
new kindergarten around the corner.
Sophie had been sick a week
Il would have been here before, but |
was sick myself for two days" said Miss
Jennie, but I'm here now, and seelwhat
I've brought you, dear"
Sophie put out her hands for the pack
age eagerly. She never had presents.
"Oh" She drew in her breath when
she said that little word, and then she
couldn't say anything, for the things in
Miss Jennie's box were so wonderful
There were two brand new" paper
dolls, and colored fashion plates ofladies
and men, and all kinds of papers full OF
pictures; and oh there on top of pile
of colored paper lay pair OF new ronnd-
pointed scissors. "Ohl OH" said little
Sophie, II neverll be alone any more,
Miss Jennie. I'll have lots of folks here
on my bed all the time. How did you
come to give me so much | never had
so many presents in all my life, before.
It's better than the dinner last Christ
mas, cause they will last"
81 thought you could cut out pictures
and dolls, and rest when you were tired,
and look at them. And then you could
play kindergarten and have parties.
See, I've brought you the party said
the smiling young girl.
She put paper bag on the bed, and
when Sophie peepcd in, there were fancy
crackers, and big orange down at the
bottom.
Happy little Sophie : [Mayfower.
