bathing Stockings.
From the Boston Journal.

Ffom the Boston JOURNAL.
A bathing stocking with a foot reinforced
all around by three overlays is one of the
good things of this season, as well as the
pretty red. blue and yellow shoes that were
first evolved for the benefit OF French wo-
men at Trouville and elsewhere. They are
made of thin but apparently very good
rubber. lined inside with a prepared skin
of silk, and shaped TO fit the foot like an
Indian m2ccasin. with a coquettish bow
over the fsstep. These can be worn into
the wafer without injury to their rubber
composition, but they are meant for as-
sumption on comm. from the water when
the bather wishes &c move about dry shod
into her own bath house.

One would hardly believe there are spe-
cial times and seasons for trying on new
shoes, but so 1t is. Larger shoes are re-
CURED Ia summer than in winter, and 1t is
always best to try them on in the latter
part of the day. The feet are then at the
maximum size. Activity naturally eniarges
them and makes them swell; much stand
ing tends to enlarge the feet New shoes
should be tried on over moderately thick
stockings: then you can put on a thinner
pair to ease your feet II the shoes seem
to be tight.

Two Blocks That Need Overhsuling III
the City Is to Maintain Permanent I'm
--Macadam No Ornament TO
Briek-Good Work of Tri-City Railway
Company.
The Job of crazy patchwork in the
Twentieth street pavement, alluded to
in The ARGUS few days ago, has
elected many adverse comments, and
this morning Mayor McConochie drove
over the section and directed that the
macadamized depressions be smoothed
over, in order that the botched nature
of the Job would not be so apparent.
Still the appearance is anything but
seemly, the only correct and economic
method being the replacement of the
pavement for the two blocks between
Second and Fourth avenues, at least.
The people of Rock Island thought
they were getting rid of rough mac
adam on the main streets when they
adopted brick as a material for per-
manent streets, and as one citizen ex-
pressed it yesterday, when l saw
that macadam strewn along Twentieth
street l supposed it had fallen from
some wagon which had broken down
as it passed along the street. l never
dreamed that it was deliberately put
there by the city
Two Blocks Need Attention.
AS said heretofore the two blocks
between Second and Fourth avenues
require complete overhauling. A
contractor informs The ARGUS that
it may not be necessary to repave
the street the entire distance mem
toned, as there are parts that are
fairly we'll preserved, but there are
places where some of the brick must
be thrown out and in others some
of the brick now in use might
be turned over. But the street
for the two blocks mention
ed, two of the most conspicuous
and most travelled blocks in the city,
and likely to be more so in both re-
spects with the coming of the Bur-
lington depot, ought at all events to
be taken as good care as the Tri-
City Railway company is taking of
the space between the car tracks.
The city got decidedly the worst of
the undertaking in the Twentieth
street paving. 1t is without doubt
the most miserable failure in the way
of street paving in the three cities,
bnt there is nothing TO be gained by
making n bad matter worse. Rock
Island is 100 far advanced to indulge
in makeshift operations in her perma-
nent'improvements. When repairing
is to be done it should be done right.

Important Action on the Subject Expected

A definite answer from the tele-
phone company relative to the COM
plants preferred as TO the Rock ISL
and service and the proposed reme-
dies for the same is expected at next
Tuesday evenings adjourned meeting
of the Rock Island Club. In conse
quence of the state of feeling which
has been reelected by the clubs ac-
ton much interest awaits the dispo-
sition of the matter. 1t is understood
that the subject of so much discus
sion, not only on the part of the club
and the Merchants association. but
the public generally, may be brought
to the attention of the city council in
the near future. One thing, how
ever, is apparent, and that is
that the company will be re-
quired to furnish, not only a much
better article OF service in the future.
if it intends to do business in Rock
Island, but will be expected to i'm
prove the conditions as to the central
office force, not merely in the matter of
increasing the number of operators,
but in bettering their condition other
wise. All that the company may eX
pend in improving and undermining
it's out-of-door system will count for
little if righteous principles as to the
rights as well as the government of
the employees do not prevail.

1t costs nothing to vote, the only
requirement being that the above
blank be cut out of The ARGUS, filled

There was a notable increase in the
voting on all the candidates for Rock
Island queen of the Moline street
fair flower parade today. Miss Mamie
Kennedy and Miss Bessie Gilmore
the former taking the lead. which she
still maintains today. The vote at 2
p. m. was as follows:

In Davenport, the vote this afterss
noon was as follows: Miss Dorothy
Van Patten, 1871; Miss Elna Gilman,
22S; Miss Alice O'Connor, ISL.
1t was decided at n meeting of the
executive committee of the Moline
street fair last night that the mi dway
be placed at Riverside park instead of
on Market square, as was at first ex-
pected. After careful considera-
tion of the matter. it was decided that
it was impossible to put 10 or Is big
shows on Market square. Then again
there would be thousands of people to
accommodate. IL was the unanimous
opinion of all that the best place
would be Riverside park, where the
fireworks took place on July 4. A
free show, probably the Marvellous
Melville, will be placed on the square.

A THRILLING ESCAPE.
Frederick n. Koenig Struck by
a Rock Island Passen-
ger Train.
HURLED AGAINST A FENCE.

Walks Before Fast Moving Engine. the
Approach of Which He Does Not Notice,
aud Is Hoisted in the Air and Out of
Danger, Receiving Only an Injured
Shoulder.
Frederick II. Koenig walked in front
of Rock Island passenger train, the
approach of which he did not notice,
this morning, and was struck and
hurled into the air. alighting against
n fence, and escaped with a severely
bruised left shoulder.
The wonder is to those who wit
messed the accident that he was not
killed, and Koenig himself is unable to
understand how he went through such
a thrilling experience without more
serious consequences. The accident
occurred at $50 this morning in the
Rock Island railroad yards, just at
the rear of the Cable mansion, where
MIR. Koenig is employed as carpenter
by Collins Bros, who are Ingaged in
making improvements on the house.
Hit by the Engine.
Mr.. Koenig was repairing the high
board fence that skirts the railroad
yard. Having occasion to go outside.
he opened the gate and stepped
throug Oh the fence just in time to meet
face to face with passenger train No.
2, eastbound. which was whizzing
around the curve from the bridge to-
ward the depot at rapid rate.
1t was all over SO quickly that MIR.
Koenig cannot tell Just how it hap
pened, but it is his belief that the
pilot of the engine hit him, luckily in
such a manner rs to brush him aside
and out of danger of the merciless
wheels.
