OSBORN FINED.

John j. Osborn, the civil engineer,
who was arrested by Detective dunlap
February 6 for passing checks of $40 on
Jacob Mann, State street saloon
keeper, and one for SIS with Peter NC
Quade of the Hubinger building, which
checks were returned marked no
funds by the National Tradesmen' S
bank, was brought to trial in the city
court yesterday morning.
The accused man was defended by
Attorney Ullman, who placed seVeral
witnesses on the stand to prove Osborn's
good character and further made an ef-
fort to show that the accused had acted
in good faith when casbing the checks
and had not received notification OF
overdraft from the bank. Judge Dow,
however, thought otherwise after hear
ing all the evidence in the case and
fined Osborn $25 and costs on each of
two counts, a total of about SIS, which
it is thought will be paid at once by the
latter's friends.

DR.. Boitwood's Lecture Postponed-Pro-
fessor Brewer to Lecture Tonight.
On Wednesday evening DR.. Boltwood
made in the chemical laboratory Of the
Sheffield Scientific school, in the pres
ence Of a few friends, a preliminary
series of experiments with liquid air,
which he had brought up In the after
noon from New York, preparatory to the
lecture he was expecting to give to-
night on the subject. The experiments
were highly successful. Last night no.
tice was sent Or. Boltwood that no
liquid air could be procured to-day. The
lecture on that subject is in consequence
unavoldably postponed, as there is but
one place in the country where liquid
air can be secured. In place of 1t Pro-
fessor Brewer will deliver his illustrated
lecture on the coast of Alaska, which
he visited last summer with the Harri-
man expedition.
Notice was given at the outset that
the lecture on liquid air, dependent as
1t was on receiving supply from New
York, might be deferred; but the pub
lie may rest assured that 1t will be given
later in the course.

rurnlnr Polnt In ono Inc.

A man who operates a lathe at the
sash and door works turned out a
porch post one afternoon this week.
Porch posts in the rough are hollow,
and when they are turned, the ends
are plugged up. This one was not
unlike other porch posts. 1t took 45
minutes to turn it and it turned at
the rate of 400 revolutions a minute.
Computation shows that it made
8. 800 revolutions. When the job
was done. the post was laid on the
floor, the plugs knocked out-and out
walked good sized kitten. Beyond
appearing little sick at the stomach
and having turned loose, so to speak,
the greater part of its fur by centri-
fugal force, it was as fresh aud gay as
a girl after ride on a merry-go-rouud,
and at once asked fer it's ma. The
gentleman concerned isn't bit SUI
perstitious, but he says that if it we're
a black Cat instead of white one he
should consider it certain omen of
good luck However, some evidence
that has been brought to light con-
corning its previous life leads him to
be strongly of the opinion that it was
formerly black, but that it turned
white. The gentleman has adopted
the kitten as q mem Der of his private
family and it answers to the name of

DAYS seemed the boundless Atlantic,
was pleasure and q delight Nep-
tune smiled upon Us most of the way;
when, however, we neared the banks
of New Foundlan6. heavy fogs hung
round about US and the chilly north
casters" were accompanied by drench-
ing rains. The thermometer was not
far from As degrees for two days and
the seamen were on constant watch
for the presence of icebergs.
See Fishing smacks.
When we were near the banks, we
saw scores of fishing smacks. 1t
looked dangerous enough to see the
small craft bobbing up and down on
q comparatively calm sea. Our
imagination only could picture what
it would be when storms we're abroad.
Our ship passed near enough one
lugger to see that it was flying the
French flag and we could see the men
in the small boats running their lines
and handling the fish.
Our ship was filed to its utmost
capacity with passengers. Nearly
four hundred were booked for on the
trip. The first cabin accommodated
80 people and it was among the latter
that we found our lot fixed.
Life upon shipboard is necessarily
of community style, and it was not
long until we were acquainted with
our neighbors, sharing alike the
delicacies of the ships larder. prone
nading the decks for exercise, reading
books from the ships library. or per-
haps we would find ourselves muffied
in steamer shawls and rugs in the
reg Ilation steamer chairs swapping
jokes and stories.
Some were obliged. however, to HE
themselves away to the seclusion of
their stateroom on account of a pecu-
liar malady that overlook them, GER
tainly without solicitation.
OF all the numerous remedies that
are prescribed for the above ailment,
the most efficient one seems to be,
"stay on land"
AS we journeyed into northern lati-
tudes, the frightening of the twilight
was very perceptible. At present writ
ing-9:30 p. m. the light of day is still
sufficient for one to write by.
Glimpse OF Eastern Continent.
On the morning of the 18th day
many were astir very early, for we
were to get first glimpse of the east
ern continent. 1t was light enough
at a. M to see the shores of the
Emerald Isle." 1t certainly was a
feast to our eyes after having gazed
upon sky aud ceaseless moving water
for so many days.
The ship was met near the entrance
of Loeb Foyle by a tender, which was
to transfer passengers and freight to
Londonderry. Beautiful. indeed. were
the green hills and hedges. the la tier
marking off farms and garden spots.
Here and there were larger tracts of
rough pasture land. scattered over
whose surface we could see sheep and
cattle. The scarcity of trees was very
noticeable in the Irish scenery.
About p. m. our steamer entered
The Clyde, but it being low tide, was
anchored to await a transport which
would take us to Greenock; thence we
were sent by train to Glasgow. At
the latter place we began our sight
seeing in earnest, but 1 shall have to
leave that until another time, as
will also our experience in her males

The river is all that has been said of

Our steamer. the Ethiopia, did not

we had little over "a hours to spend
in New York.
We made the most of our time,
kept our ears and eyes open and our
feet going most of the time. 1t did
not take us long to decide that while
New York Yields mighty influence
over the affairs and commerce of our
nation, yet she seemed to lack the
hurry, push and hustle of our own
Chicago. The little shopping that we
undertook to do there proved the fact
that even if the displays of the luxu-
ries were elegant in the great empo-
RUINS of trade, the prices of the or
binary and necessary articles
were not more economical than
in Rock Island. 1t was also
noticeable that our city follows
closely upon the heels of New York
even in the fads of fashion.
The voyage across what for many
