In the opinion of some excellent
Judges the address Of Colonel Jacob l..
Greene, before the Hartford board OF
trade ON March %, is one Of the clear
est statements Of the true functions Of
money ever made Colonel Greene is
president Of the Connecticut Mutual
Life Insurance company, said to be the
largest moneyed institution in New Eng
land. We quote below part Of this
most excellent speech:
Trade exists before money. Money is
born Of the necessities Of trade, and Is
simply its instrument. And trade. no
matter how complex its forms, how
narrow or how wide its field, what the
range Of its objects or the number or
character of its instrumentalities and
incidents, is nothing else but the free,
willing exchange Of one mans property
for that Of another. The fundamental
fact, and the everlasting moral element
in such exchanges. is this: No man will
ingly exchanges his own valuable com
modify, his property, except for another
commodity, another piece Of property Of
at least equal value to him.
The whole principle and motive OF
honest trade and the absolute condition
of permanently prosperous trade arr

men have compelled such refnements in
the quality, bulk and convenience OF the
instrument Of exchange that the rarer
metals were more acceptable for the
purpose, some conventional unit Of
Quantity and some universally satisfac-
tory mode Of its certiication had TO b.
found, and out Of this necessity grew
the various denominations OF money,
which are measures II the quantity on
the property contained ID such units,
and also the coinage laws by which the
quality and quantity Of the property SO
used is officially ascertained and certi-
fied for the safety Of those who would
exchange their property therefor. This
does away with the inconvenient scales
and tests Of the ancient merchant Aid
allows actual quantity to be accurately
ascertained by mere count OF unworn
pieces.

value; that it simply certifies the quail

Looked for Another Rattle

Conductor Thomas Donahue had
his composure somewhat ruffled this
morning when at West Liberty
Chief OF Police John Wiley sauntered
through his train and nabbed a man
suspected Of robbery. Thomas
thought it was going to be a repeti-
ton Of that wild west performance
carried out by two pursued robbers
who used dynamite and pistols and
finally succeeded in escaping about a
year ago on the same train and in the
vicinity OF where this mornings in
cident occurred. Mr.. Donahue
punches tickets on the Rock Island s
No. 2 passenger arriving here from
the west at 1880 q. m. The train
was about ready to pull out of West
Liberty when the chief of police got
aboard and picked out a smooth
looking fellow, who had just got on
and of whom Conductor Donahue's
eagie eye was very much suspicious.
Inc man was accused of holding up a
west Liberty citizen. Donahue sup
posed it was to be another case Of
6uiiet-dodging. but happily the fell
low took his medicine mildly.

LIKELY FATALITY.
Fred Neuman's Disastrous Fall
at the Court House.
LYING BETWEEN LIFE AND DEATH.

shuM Fractured and Other Severe Ipju-
ries Sustained-An Expert with Derrick
Operations Meets With . Had Acci-
dent.
Fred Ncuman, foreman OF the der
rick operating crew of Contractor C..
j. Larkin's construction forces at the
new Rock Island county court house,
sustained a fall from a tree in the
court house grounds this morning.
which is likely to be attended by
fatal results. The man is now living
in a semi-conscious condition at ST.
Anthony's hospital and lowering be-
tween life and death.
Mr.. Neuman was at 1890 this
morning 20 ieet from the ground in
a tree on the east side of the new
building working with one of the
guy ropes which sustain the immense
derricks, when in reaching out to
get hold of one OF the smaller rope
attachments. he seized q small limb
which snapped. and having thrown
considerable weight against it, he
lost his balance and fell to the
ground, striking on some fine rock.
He was picked up unconscious, the
blood flowing from his nose and ears.
and carried to DIR. j. F. Myers Of
flee in the Carse block, but DR.. Myers
not being in, he was taken to st. An
thongs hospital, where Drs. Comegys,
Eyster, Plummer and De Silva at
tended him.
Nature Of the Injuries.
It was found that the sufferer had
sustained depressed compound
fracture of the skull near the left
temple, and also a multiple fracture
of the right wrist, while there were
bad Commissions over both ewes, to-
gether with general shock to the
system, while the hemorrhages of the
nose and ears we're severe. The sur
geons late this afternoon reported
that it was hardly possible for the
unfortunate man to recover and it
was probable that he would not sur
vive the night. He has but partially
regained consciousness and is very
low.
Mr.. Neuman came to Rock Island
last fall from Ohio. He was an ex-
pert in the operation of derrick s,
was former sailor and a valuable
man for Contractor Larkin. He is SO
years of age. single and made his
home at Mrs. Glass boarding house
on Second avenue.
Neuman had his right leg broken

work on the court house some weeks
ago.

DEATH OF w. HAWTHORNE,
The Well known Caterer Suecombs TO an
Apoplectic Attack.

The Well Known Caterer Suecombs Co an
Apoplsctic Attack.
William Hawthorne succumbed to
an apoplectic attack at his residence
at 2833 Sixth avenue at 4 O'Clock
this morning.
Mr.. Hawthorne had been suffering
since Monday afternoon. when, while
preparing to 60 and consult a physi-
clan. he was stricken down with the
fatal ailment. Monday was his CPD
birthday anniversary. MIR. Haw-
thorne had been confined since. and
although conscious of what was
transporting. was unable to utter q
syllable and remained in this state
suffering in tensely until relieved
this morning.
In the demise of Mr.. Hawthorne is
removed one of Rock Islands best
known and respected citizens. Born
at Hagerstown, Maryland, 81 years
ago Monday, Mr. Hawthorne in 1855
located here and this city he called
his home since. Mr.. Hawthorne was
probably more widely known as the
veteran caterer and cook, having
been connected with the lead
ing hotels of Rock Island and
Davenport and for a number
OF years was a steamboat cook. Mr..
Hawthorne had also been in the res
taurant business, his latest venture
having been in conducting a home
bakery on Twentieth street, which
business he was forced to recently
abandon owing to failing health. He
was upright in his every deed and
we'll liked.
The surviving family consists of
a wife and five children: Mrs. C. V.
Ryan. Milwaukee; o. w. H. Haw-
thorne. Washington. d. c.; DR.. j. E..
and w. ID. Hawthorne and Miss Sadie

late home at 2 p. m. tomorrow, Rev.

HOME TALENT APPEARS,

Successful Entertainments for the Benefit
of st. Joseph's School.
Home talent presented an excel
lent entertainment at Harper's thea
tire last evening for the benefit of St.
Joseph's school. The playhouse
held an audience that could hardly
be increased and the success attend
ing the entertainment was we'll mer-
tied and the charitable purpose for
which it was given deserving one.
The program was of a varied ma
ture and such as to afford pleasant
evenings enjoyment without being
of any sameness. There was an
opening chorus by the girls of st.
Joseph's school, and vocal solos by
J. A. Huot, Charles Adams and Miss
Jennie thinner. who gave a sweet
and clever rendition Of "Oh Uncle
john" while Messrs. Adams and
Huot gave two nice selections.
An act greatly enjoyed was the
Chinese representations and imita-
lions of Fred Strupp. whose appear
ance was enough to keep the audi
ence in constant uproar. Then there
was a trio, "Lost in the Snow Drift"
by Misses Adams, thinner and Iche.
in the rendition of which the young
ladies did very creditably. The
Famine" pantomime, was given
with beautiful effect by IA young
ladies. The Metropolitan mandolin
club gave a couple of artistic selec-
tions and the Davenport male quar-
tet and the Rock Island double quar-
tet sang a couple of pleasing num-
bers. Charles Adams gave a half
hours exhibition of his clever magic
powers.
But the cutest of all was the posing
and athletic exhibition of little
Romeo O'Connor. the son of Mr..
and Mrs. James O'Connor, whose
lifting OF the immense dunn bells rele-
gated Sandow to the background
(apparently.) The little fellow went
through series of neat poses, on
which calcium lights were thrown,
and concluded with shouldering q
5O0-pound O. dumbell.
The entertainment closed with an
Irish character sketch by Tim Col
Inns and William Wins, who proved
themselves capable o: driving the
blues away from q deaf man. They
sang and cracked jokes and did a
few funny things in an inimitable
and laugh-producing manner. They
were immense.
The affair was financial sue
success, fact almost entirely due to
the untiring efforts of Rev. j. H.
Cannon. of St. Joseph's church, who
had entire charge Of the entertain
ment.
