THE CADETS TRIP TO NOR
FOLK, VA.

| When the George Leary pulled ou
from her wharf, Friday evening, May
2oth, as per schedule, everybody or
board Except possibly the managers
was happy, and if they were not; they
bore up bravely, taking their disap
polntment like men and soldiers.
The fact is that the terrific storm oi
the evening previous blew away on the
wings of fear fully one half Of their ex-
pected party. Nevertheless the whole
| program was carried out to the letter,
barring few changes Of hours for
which the officers Of the boat were
| alone responsible. After a delightful
run down, the steamer made Fort
Monroe and landed quite number of
the party. Proceeding to Norfolk they
found the two local military organiza-
tons drawn up to receive them under
Captain Sheppard, and in five minutes
after the boat was tied up they were on
the march through Norfolk. During
their absence the excursionists for
Hampton went on board, and on their
return the trip to Hampton was made,
and later second trip. Quite a num-
Der were left in Hampton because of
the steamer leaving the wharf before
her contract time. Several of them,
however, caught Cape Charles and
reached Norfolk but little later.
Sunday morning was ushered in by
verltable down pour. The windows of
heaven seemed opened, but the rain
abated in time to take out quite party
for the run to the Capes, which was fur
ther augmented from Newport News
and Old Point, and heartily enjoyed in
spite of another afternoon shower that
drove them all indoors for about an
hour. After discharging all local pas
sengers, the steamer left Norfolk to be-
gin its homeWard trip at s. 10 D. m, lust |
10 minutes later than it was due to leave
Fortress Monroe, and in consequence
reached home at S45 instead of 700
p. m. as arranged for. The whole trip |
was enjoyable from start to finish, and |
as promised, good order was pre-
served. The only incident occurring to |
mar the harmony of the whole trip was
a difficulty between two of the officers |
Of the boat, which was soon quieted. |
fhe Cadets have add another leaf to |
their laurels as the most gentlemanly |
and best behaved military organiza-
ions that leaves the District, and
while every one enjoyed themselves to
he full, in every way they saw fit
here was no brawling, no unusually |
noise, no olntoxiCation, no roughneSS on
he part of the soldiers or their guests
% mar the enjoyment of one of the best
ever projected from the
District. 1t is hoped they will try it
again, and be patronized as they de-
serve.

THE ORPHEUS GLEE CLUB EX.
CURSION.

Announced through our advertising
columns their purpose to open the sea-
son, June 10th, by an Excursion upon
the old reliable Steamer Mary Wash

trips during the day. 1t is well-known
that the Motley Hall Dancing Pavilion
is the finest on the river. 1t is also
well-known that the Steamer Mary
Washington is the only steamer hav-
ing deck specially prepared for dane
ing. 1t has remained for the Orpheus
Club however to be the first to show a
more thoughtful appreciation for the
pleasure of their guests than for the
dollars and cents. They have gone to
the expense of providing two orches-
tras for the entire day, one to play all
day at the grounds and one to play all
day on the boat, on its several trips,
SO that the passengers on the second
and third trips will not be compelled,
as is customary, to wait until they
reach the grounds before they can en-
JOY a dance, but will have the same
privileges of dancing on the way down,
as is usually only enjoyed on the first
trip. Their friends and the public
should show their appreciation of this
enterprise and forethaught by giving
them regular out-pouring on the day
selected.

The Wrong Theory.

1t is time someone was heading off
the Union in the revival of its old
time moss-covered arguments whose
inclination tends toward fencing
in the city. Under the retro
gression shown in the admins
tration of municipal affairs that
has characterized the past few
months. it is not altogether surpris-
ing that the Union should feel war
ranted in resurrecting the policy
which the people have so emphati-
cally sat down upon in the past. But
that does not represent the spirit of
a progressive people. Broad-mind-
edness and self-preservation may be
combined without resorting to the
narrow clanishness that is enforced
by the Davenport city council. Rock
Islands gates are open to the world.
and all may enter or depart without
restriction. Malice and sectional
prejudice are not the part of its dis
position. That the Davenport coun-
Gil has shown its true color does not
work to the detriment of this side ol
the river.
Rock Island is more the greater.

DUST IS DEPLORABlE:

Rock Island Streets Occasion Much Com.
piaint.
Should the silvery flakes which have
been falling today continue until they
spread a white mantel over the city
the people would rejoice as they
never have before. Not only be-
cause there is something romantic
in a snow storm and the attendant
merry ring of sleigh bells. but from
the fact that it might prove an end
to the long suffering to which peo-
pie have been subjected for some
weeks on account of the neglected
condition of the streets. The dust
that has arisen in penetrating clouds
whenever there has been the least
atmospheric disturbance has been
simply unmerciful, ruinous to clothes
and linen of people on the street and
to the stocks displayed by merchants
in front OF their places of business.
Many people have talked to The
ARGUS about it and urged that the
attention of the authorities be di-
rected to the matter in a manner
that will result in reform-but as a
German friend says. ''Vat is de uzee"
And indeed that seems true. People
can protest against existing condi-
tions and urge reform, but to no
avail; hence there seems to be one
thing to do, and that is to accept
the philosophical side-and grin and
bear it.
Remedies Suggested.
On numerous occasions within the
past few months THE ARGUS has
urged that a systematic method be
adopted of providing for a general
cleaning of the streets at stated pc.
riods, and il has been maintained
that taxpayers who submitted with.
out nurmur to paving improvements
would cheerfully acquiesce in some
proposition on the part of the city
even though some expense might at.
tend the same-of having the streets
properly attended to. Rock Islands
streets have never been in the dis.
graceful condition that they are this
year, and that, too, with a bankrupt
street and alley committee which ha:
expended more money in less time
than any preceding street committee
in the city's history.
Let US hope that before another
municipal year opens some compre
hensive plan my be agreed upor
whereby the streets of the city maj
be kept in decent condition.

A FAIRY FORTUNE.
Such is Miss Jensen's Legacy
Believed to Be.
INTENDED FOB SOMEONE ELSE

The Young Lady's Mother Says She Had
no Wealthy Grandparents In the Old
Country and Considers tho Story Too
Good to be True.
Miss Marie Jensen has a story as
romantic as her name.
The Chicago Chronicle Of yester.
day in speaking of her inheritance
of $4,000 fortune says:
"Over in Christiania, Norway, is a
fortune of $4,000 waiting for Miss
Marie Jensen, wherever she may be.
1t is not for the actress, because she
spells her name differently, and be-
isides-well, this fortune is for q
young lady about twenty years old.
There is a Marie Jensen who is
young and pretty as the comic opera
star. and better still, she is Chicago
girl. and there are many indications
that the fortune is hers. She is q
tall, shapely blonde, a perfect type
of the Norwegian beauty. and she
works at the dry goods house of Car
son. Pirie & Co., at State and Wash
ington streets. Miss Jensen is moi
sure that she is the lucky girl who il
to get the money of a doting grand
mother, who lately passed away in
Christiania, but she stands as good 9
chance as any other Marie Jensen.
Young Lady's Mother Doubts 1t.
The young lady's mother, Mrs
Edward Jensen. 251S Eighth avenue
is inclined to believe that the fortune
is intended for some other family,
although she will not allow her an.
ticipations to subside until the re.
port is authoritively contradicted.
The possibility of becoming related
to such an enormous amount i!
enough to arouse the most composed
to nervous suspense and Mrs. Jenser
will not rest until she satisfies her
self whether the fortune is really in
tended for her daughter. Mrs. Jen
sen explained her reasons for ques
tioning the authenticity of the repor
to an ARGUS representative who
called at her home.
"My! it seems too good to be true,
she answered laughingly. "You se
Marie had no grandmother SO rich il
the first place. The only RELATIVE
which could be termed q grand
mother is my step-mother in Norway
but she was comparatively poo
woman the last time / heard from
her about a year ago. My husband
father and mother are both dead an,
think there is very little chance o
the report being true. But Mr.. Jen
, sen had two sisters in Norway-on
of whom married wealthy gentle
man. But they are only aunts o
Marie's; so I guess it's all mistake
We got letter from Marie today an
, it conveyed to us the first intima

all about her ancestors in the lette

looking backward in the hope G
making some favorable discovery

Having thus learned OF Mr.. Hanna's
high regard for organized labor-that
is, having learned it from hmself-one
might be forgiven for feeling no little
confused and puzzled on reading the
statement of the Central Labor union
Of New York printed yesterday and the
history of Hanna's methods in crushing
out labor organizations in half a dozen
different forms, as related by the secre-
tary of the Central Labor union OF
Cleveland.
Mr.. Hanna knows that he is under
the ban of organized labor ell over the
country. He knows that he has fully
earned the esteem in which he is held by
the labor unions by his injustice to their
organizations and his cruelty to their
members. Now if Harrison Gray Otis
must keep out of politics-by the order
of Hanna-because he is not persona
grata with labor, why does not Mr. Han
ma discharge himself and sell his $ilS,-
600 mortgage on Mckinley? That which
is sauce for Otis should be gravy for
Hanna"
An anxious public is waiting for Col
onel Otis to print the dispatch he claims
he has received from Hanna to the eff
feet that the information contained in
this dispatch is not correct.
