AT THE THEATRE.
eO1ZN11ONxz.xyaExYar

a hit was scored last night at Har-
per's theatre by the Andrews Opera
company, whose rendition of Flo
tow's 4-act romance, Martha, :"
proved refreshing treat to Rock
Island music lovers. of whom
there wasa good sized audience
in attendance. The opera was
charmingly done throughout, the as
sistance of capable orchestra adding
much to the general effectiveness of
the singing. The opera was cast as
follows: Lady Harriet" Miss Myrta
French; Nancy" Mrs. Clayton;
Lionel" f. W. Walters: "Piunkett. -
George Andrews; Sir Tristan" Ed
Andrews; Sheriff." F. j. Mccarthy !;
"Fcotman, Frank Milkins. Miss
French, the soprano, and Wa
tiers, the tenor, became immediate
favorites with the audience. The
formers execution of the Last Rose
of Summer, in the ending of which
Mr.. Walters assisted, was beautiful,
and received a hearty recall. MIR.
Walters has wonderfully powerful
voice, and received n deservedly en-
thusastic encore for his solo in the
closing act. The company as a whole
strong for an organization of its pre-
tensions. The company closes its en-
gagement tonight presenting the dou-
ole bill, ''Cavalleria Rusticana' and
Pirates of Penzance, " and doubtless
the entertainment will be generously
patroniZed.
James McAlpin, in his laugh-pro-
ducing play, Hans Hanson" will he
at Harper's theatre tomorrow night.
Mr.. McAlpin comes supported by a
iirst-class company of comedians and
singers.
The new farce, Dear Old Charley"
will inaugurate the regular season of
the Burtis opera house Friday, Sept.
-. This will also be the first APP
pearance there of George e. Boniface,
Jr., and George ODER as comedy stars.
The farce is from the pen of Charles
Brookfeld, an English author of con-
siderable ability. Although the
work of an Englishman, the scenes of
Dear Old Charley" are laid in and
about New York. Both Boniface and
ODER are clever and capable comedians,
and were often seen in Davenport in
is said to be novelty in farcical con-
struction. The company engaged to
assist Boniface and ODER in the fun
making includes the charming COM
edienne, Kathryn Osterman, Bertha
Waltsinger, Eta Gilroy, Helen Har-
court, Florence Turner, MAY belle
Rother, John Hyams, Stephen Maley
and John W. Burton.

AT MCCABE'S.

1t is almost 125 years since Joshua
Wedgwood's death, hut the pottery he
established at the little village he
built and named ..Etruria - in Eng
land, is still in existence, and his ia
nous Jasper" ware is still made at
that factory.
Wedgwood was real artist, and
added more to the beauty and excel
lence of pottery than any man before
or since his time. The ware he
made. which is known today as
''Wedgwood Jasper" is probably the
most artistic and permanently pleas
ing of any product Of clay. The
cameo designs are by Flaxman. the
greatest master of line drawing Eng
land ever produced. Wedgwood en-
ployed him for years, and the really
beautiful classified figures and designs
which all lovers of .'Wedgwood"
know. were made by Flaxman TO 20 on
just the shapes and pieces they are
seen on today.
Real Wedgwood cannot be success
fully initiated; the difference is too
great; but those who Ego by the
mark will find the real ware with
the mark '.Wedgwood'' (without the
e cut into the bottom of each piece
not printed.

LECTURES ON VITOSOPHH.
Prof. Windsor Begins an Engagement
Here Thursday.

Here Thursday.
The course of lectures inaugurated
Thursday night ut the Y. NJ. C.. \. au-
ditorium by Prof. William Windsor,
president of the international Health
association, promise TO be very
unique as we'll as instructive and en-
tertaining. The professor lectures in
his robes of Office and mis- philosophy
of human life is startling in its reve-
lations. At each lecture he delineates
the characters of prominent citizens
selected by the audience, and his de-
scriptions are said to be marvelously
accurate and create great deal of
interest. He does not pursue the old
fashioned methods used by phrenolo-
gists, but measures each person with
the phrenometer, an instrument which
reveals the exact contour of the head.
The course of lectures will extend
over five nights, the first two of which
are free. Judging from the interest
Prof. Windsor has created in other
cities the Y. NJ. G.. A. auditorium will
have it's capacity taxed this week.

ORDER is THE VICTOR.
Woodmen Sustained by Legal
Decision in Rejecting
Suicide Claim.
IN THE CASE OF HENRY BRANDT.

Shoots Himself Dead, His Mother Being
Named as Beneficiary in n $4,000 Insur-
ance CertIficate-Mr. Van Calder to
Notes.
A case was tried in Allamakee
county, Iowa, this week-Marv
Brandt VS.. NJ. w. of Ain which the
validity of the suicide clause in the
benefit certificate was attacked. The
court, however, held that the stipula-
ton making null and void certificates
written three wears from date of issue
if holder committed suicide whether
sane or insane" to be perfectly sound
in law, and so the case was decided
in favor of the Woodmen.
The facts of the case are that Henry
Brandt became n member of Potts
vile, Iowa, Camp No. 323 about two
and half years ago, taking out
IS. 600 certificate, with Mary Brandt,
his mother, named as beneficiary. He
committed suicide by shooting HIM
self with a revolver, and the society
rejected his claim, basing rejection
upon the anti-suicide stipulation in
the certificate. The courts decision
in this case is regarded simply as
reinforcement of the society's posi-
ton, the preponderance OF late decis-
ions being all in its favor.
f. o. Van Calder, editor of the
Woodmen official paper, removes to
next few weeks. Mr.. Van Calder and
wife will prove a decided acquisition
to the social and literary circles of the
head office city. The removal
to this city is made necessary by the
increased burden of editorial work,
owing to enlargement of the Modern
WOodman.
The certificate department up to the
evening of the 10th inst. issued 656
certificates and chartered - camps.
While this is a great reduction on the
number issued in the same period
during the first months of this year,
vet it is considerably more than dur
ing the first 10 days of September,
1898. when the order issued but 1925
certificates and chartered II camps.
Insurance Commissioners Convention.
The 30th annual convention of the
Insurance Commissioners association
was held in Detroit, Mich, last week
Representing the National Fraternal
congress, Hon. j. G.. johnson APP
peared before the convention and de-
livered an address on the "Fraternal
Beneficiary Societies." exhaustively
reviewing their relations to the in
surance departments of the various
states and making valuable sugges-
tions looking to more complete uni
formity in the rendering of annual
statements. On this point the re-
quirements of the different depart
ments vary greatly.
The board of directors at their Sep
tenn Der session, allowed 142 death
claims, which aggregate S275, 600.
