Meeting to Be Held During July--
Letter From the
President.

The following letter from Walter
H Gale, president of the Illinois Phar-
maceutical association, is self-ex-
planatory:
Chicago, Dec. II, 19O0.-F. w. Balm
sen, President of the Rock Island Club,
Rock Island, Ill. Dear Sir: Replying to
yours of Dec. S it affords me pleasure
to say that our executive committee
desires to accept the kind invitation
extended through you to the Illinois
Pharmaceutical association to hold
our next annual meeting in Rock Is
land. As soon as | appoint the local
secretary | will write Mr.. Connolly"
The ARGUS last week referred to
the fact that the club and local drug
gists were putting forth efforts to Sc
cure the next meeting of the associa-
ton, and the foregoing is ample evil
dence of the good they have accom-
plished.
From All Over the State.
The convention will be held in July.
1t will bring no less than 200 dele
gates to the city, representative men
from all portions of the state. 1t is
little early, probably, TO discuss plans
of entertainment of the visitors, but
on this score it is safe to predict that
Rock Island will send them away, as
she has done in all former instances,
feeling glad that they had brought
their meeting here.

ing the second annual benefit ball of
the Rock leland fire department at
the roller rink on Sixteenth street the
evening of Dec. u, will have the
largest crowd of any terpsichorean
function of the season, or for several
seasons past FOR that matter. How
ever, there will be ample accommoda-
tiOus, and as the fire laddies say. the
more the merrier. They want TO see
all their friends at the dance. Those
who do not care to ''shake their feet"
can look on, as there are seats on
either side of the floor for hundreds.
The music in itself will be feature,
full orchestra having been engaged.
At midnight supper will be served.

stands. Anything that his father opposed
young Cornell thought was all right. He
soon had a reputation as a gambler and
was pointed out on the streets as thor
oughbred.
What money he did not squander on
women he cheerfully gave up To the rou-
lette wheel and the card table. When he
could not lose fast enough at that he
played the horses. but was credited with
making many big winnings.
PUT OUT OF THE FIRM
At his fathers death he received $780,
900 and a one-third interest in the Cor
nell Iron Works. His income from that
alone was 5000 a year. Seven years ago

and he was allowed $500 a year for
spending money.
He came back here this fall In the hope
OF effectng reconciliation, He called
on his mother, at Orange btit she would

VETO OF MAYOR.
Il VIII Come Up for Consider

Council Meeting.

The common council will meet iNregu-
lar session this evening and one OF the
important matters 10 be considered will
be the veto message OF tho mayor relat-

with asphalt. When the message was re-
ceived many of the members of the coun-
ell were absent and IL was laid on the
table
While opinion Is pretty we'll divided
over the matter, the feeling is that the
mayors veto will be sustained. The reso-
luton appropriating $4,000 for the grad
ing OF Aliens avenue will undoubtedly pc
left on the table.
There Is on the docket a resolution ap-
propriating $4,000 for completing certain
work at Roger Williams Park. and II re-
fers TO the speedway. There Is no DOUBT
that a motion 20 indefinitely postpone the
resolution will be offered. and IL may
pass, but this remains 10 be seen.

ANOTHER
BLAZE AT
NEWPORT
Pavilion al BaiIey's Beach Badly
Damaged by Fire Believed
Work Of Incendiary.

The pretty pavilion at Bailey's Beach.
Newport, fashions favorite bathing re-
sort, was found TO be on fire at 6:l5 last
evening. and before the blaze could be
extinguished damage TO the extent OF
$3.50 was done.
The fire was of incendiary origin,
which leads TO the belief OF many that
the fire at Mrs. Julia II. Eldridge's villa
on Ochre Point on Friday was also set.
Many had thought this fire set before.
but a theory OF spontaneous combustion
had been gaining ground.
The west wing OF the pavilion. which
was erected two years ago, was alone
damaged. the fire having been set in its
entrance.
Among those who owned apartments
in it, for which large sums were paid,
are Robert NJ. Cushing, Thomas F.
Gushing and George Won l.. Meyer of
Boston: Col John Jacob Astor. Il. w.
Vanderbilt, Henry Clews and Perry Bel
mont. The loss, which amounts TO $500,
is covered by insurance.
The place had been securely closed for
the season. and the fire seemed 10 have
been started from underneath through
the lattice work. and from there worked
up into the main structure and was
there assisted in spreading by collec-
ton OF painters materials.
In the building was stored the beach
equipment of ownings: also many bath
ing costumes of the society folk.
Mr.. Whipple, the manager of the beach
property, stated this morning that the
fire was beyond all doubt of incendiary
ones, mostly empty. and there was posi-
lively nothing TO which spontaneous com
bustion could be charged.
