vention meets in Ottawa. The ses-

the state board of charities, delivered
an address on County Jails." Miss
Lathrop has charge of this branch
of work for the state board and takes
keen interest in the sanitary con-
dition OF the buildings provided for
the incarceration of criminals. A
prominent feature of her address
was diagram uf a model, known as
the Ohio Jail. which is constructed
in such a manner as to admit of the
entrance or exit of prisoner with
out the other inmates knowing what
is going on.
Legislation.
Col. Jonathan Merriam, of Taze-
we'll county, offered resolution urg-
ing the next legislature to provide a
law to establish uniform system of
text books for use in the common
schools. Col. Merriam's resolution
was followed by an address by Presi-
dent Hearn on the subject of erect
ing a monument in honor of Gen.
George Rodger Clarke. who captured
Fort George in 1879. The president
heartily indored the efforts of the cit
liens of the western part of the state
in trying to raise money to erect a
monument and quite number of
subscriptions to the fund were hand.
ed in to the secretary. Re-
ports from various committees were
received. Mr.. Pemberton's motion

Done Up in Davenport.

Chris Matthews returned from
Davenport last night with a badly
disfigured physiognomy, and hied
away to his apartments to remain in
seclusion no doubt until his facial
appearances assume a more natural
condition. Chris is a hackman and
has been skimming the icy surface
between the two cities. Last even
ing he got on the outside of lit
tie more stimulants than ordinarily
and aile riding around Davenport
hs hcountered three acquaintances
on Perry street. A rather heated
conversation was commenced and
before it proceeded far Christopher
was landed on by the trio, so gen.
tleman friend who plotted him over
into Illinois says. They beat the
little hackman numerically and
until his face could be passed off for
a porter house steak.

At the meeting of the stockholders
OF the Peaslee Shoe company at
Carse hall yesterday afternoon Phil
Mitchell. A. G. Dart, Henry Carse,
W. H. Marshall, f. Mosenfeider. j.
F. Robinson and c. s. Peaslee were
constituted committee to attend to
a location for the factory, and in fact
get all things ready for formal action
by the stockholders, who are to be
brought together at future time by
the committee on incorporation,
when the details are perfected.
The committee started out site in
specting this morning, looking over
the former glass works and the Raj
Bile & SteDgel brewery down town
and the other buildings such as the
No. 8 school. ETC.. suggested at the
meeting yesterday afternoon.
Ready to Move.
Mr.. Peaslee stated to an ARGUS
representative at the conclusion of
yesterdays meeting that he had
closed up his industry at Pecatonica
preparatory to moving to Rock ISL
and-that the machinery was being
taken down and packed and that 40
families. aggregating 100 people,
would come here at once as soon as
the factory location was determined
upon and the company formally in
corporated. He seemed much graft
fled with the way Rock Island had
taken hold of the proposition and
is pleased with the city and it's peo-
pie. and he realizes and appreciates
the advantages it possesses as man
ufacturing and distributing point.
MIR. Peaslee said also that he had al
ready booked $4,000 spring orders.
Other New Factories.
Incidental to the discussion at YES
terday afternoons meeting, came up
the matter of other new industries
which may be brought to Rock Isl
and, and as have been alluded to
from time to time in The ARGUS, and
the assurance was given by some OF
the gentlemen present in Il position
to know, that within very shor,
time at least two entirely new facto.
rics in addition to the shoe company
and the Lewis Roofing company
would be located here, land one OF
these, coming from an Illinois towr
at that, will not ask a cent of sub
scription or require nickel of DO.
NUS" said one of the gentlemen witt
a positiveness of manner that carried
a sense of infinite satisfaction to al
within hearing.
Rock Island has started out right
in the factory line-now let the gooo
work 60 on. The more the merriel
if the right kind, and the move
ment to secure them is properly
handled, as is now the case here.

ANOTHER CUT COMING.
That Seems to be the Impression as to the
Beer War.

That see ms TO be the Impression as to the
Beer War.
The beer war status remains Just
as it was yesterday, but there is a
feeling of uneasiuess among those
who represent the various brewing in
terests that promises break some
where at any time, and when it comes
it will be attended by a scramble to
follow suit. although the Rock Isl
and Brewing company declares it
will 60 no lower than it has already.
From talks with the local managers
for the Chicago, the Mendoza, and
the Schlitz, it is reasonably safe
to predict another cut tomorrow
morning. In fact, each is now ac-
cusing some other OF going below the
So per barrel rate. which was reached
yesterday. and all now seem to be
waiting to see what the other fellow
is going to do. Two of the managers
told The ARGUS today that they
knew the price would be down to 81
per barrel bv tomorrow morning,
but that they were not going to make
the first break. But" said one,
1--WE will cut if any the others do;
we will stay with this thing to the
end" And the other agreed with
him.
If the price keeps on descending,
the rival breweries will soon either
be supplying the drinking fountains
with their respective brands of the
amber fluid or taking the place of
the pop corn vendors with a barrel
always on tap and begging the public
to quench its thirst at every corner.
Then think of the dreadful conse-
quences.

ARTIST SIGH PAINTERS.
Rem OF Genius Who Have Engaged In
Humble Employment.


Commonly there is not great deal
Of real artistic value in the signs that
distractingiy illuminate the streets Of
our cities and towns. 1t is, however,
interesting to note that there have been
III the annals of art not n few instances
of noted artists whom stress of misfor-
tune compelled at times in their career
to take to this employment-at least
temporarily. Some of the old masters
did not hesitate to turn their brushes to
work of this kind when necessity COM
manded. and there have been many
swinging signs of old taverns through
out Great Britain painted by men of
genius whose talents had otherwise
failed to fill their pockets with guineas.
Dr. Mauricr once painted signs, and
moro than one of his contemporaries
could if he would tell tale of similar
employment of his brush
In the history of American art there
have been some cases of men who found
sign painting more rcmunerativc than
work of IL higher character Perhaps the
best known was Matthew Pratt of Phil
adelphia, talented portrait painter
who, having family to support, hon.
estly turned his hand in intervals of
leisure TO the production of tavern signs
and banners for political conventions.
On the other hand, there are not q
few instances of sign painters abandon
ing their craft for higher sphere in
| art And of American artists especially
| number have begun IN this humble
line. J. O.. Brown Mt the outset of his
| career painted the signs of the landscape
pictures with which the old New York
Broadway stages We're decorated. Henry

talented William Sidney Mount, though
sign painter, executed some creditable
pictures Of still life and became an 4.

They Didn't Smoke.

In his boyhood Judge Charles 3. An
drews Of the Connecticut supreme court
was much more lively than his brother,
President Andrews of Brown univer-
sity. A writer i'll the Springfield Repub-
hcan tells a story of the way he got
ahead of some Of the college boys when
he was freshman at Amherst. 1t was
the custom then to smoke out the fresh
men. A party Of dozen or more of the
fellows would enter the room of an I'M
suspecting boy. light their pipes and
smoke until the victim gave III and Of
cred treat. When they came into An
drews' room, they We're without their
pipes and had no tobacco about them,
but with a stern voice one fellow handed
Charles 81 and ordered him to go out
and procure pipes and tobacco for the
crowd. Charles went out and soon re-
turned with 80 pipes ard cents worth
of tobacco. What the boys did to him
for his audacious act is not related, but
it is fact that they did not smoke him
out that night.

In 1rish Laporer In England.

1t Is asked, Why should the Irishman
come over to make the hay and reap the
crops i'll England and Scotland, and
how is it that he goes home again and
does not stay? That he comes over is
evidence that he is not unwilling to
work. He is sent for by the farmer be-
cause his wages are low. That he re-
turns home Is not Il matter Of sentiment
alone. nor due to the fact that he returns
to Roman Catholic country. The win
ter Is milder than in Scotland, the rent
is cheaper than paying for lodgings in
Scotland. the turf fire is warmer and
more cheerful than the small coal he
must buy at high price in Scotland.
The turf fire costs him perhaps e3 for
the family for all the year While the
man works abroad the family live
cheaply at home and till the potatoes
and fatten the pigs. There are thus good
reasons why migratory labor should pay
the Irish PEASANT best, and the change
is welcome to him when life would 9TH
erwlse be very monotonous. BOYS and
girls look forward to the end of their
school days and to the time when they
may go to the harvesting; or, still bet
ter. 70 the ''oil works." where some 80
shillings week may be earned. The
Irish peasant requires no one 10 teach
him his own interests IL this respect,
and he works hard for q spell, looking
forward to the idle winter before him
at home. -Blackwood's Magazine.
