A BISHOP FOR rs YEARS.
Silver Jubilee of Rev. spaIdIng to be Made
Imposing Event.

Imposing Event.
On May, l, 1877, the Right Rev.
John Lancaster Spalding was conse-
Grated bishop of Peoria in New York.
After the conservation he came
straight west and assumed charge of
his diocese. The 25th anniversary of
this event. although more than a year
away, will be duly celebrated in 1902.
Already the matter is being talked of,
and some of the clergy and many of
the laity are planning to make it one
of the most imposing ceremonies ever
seen in this section of the country.
The universal regard in which Bishop
Spalding is held by people of his own
faith and those not so believing, en-
courages hi- admirers to make the
silver jubilee of his conservation a
magnificent tribute to the Gistin-
guished clergyman. The matter, of
course, has not yet assumed definite
shape, and no direct steps will be
taken in it until later in the summer
or in the fall.

John B. Arthurs emerged from the
storm beaten regions of the north to-
day, hoping he would strike a more
congenial climate in which to nurse
his theatrical project, and while he
did not find the weather quite as
warm as it was last summer, when
he was obliged to abandon his canvass
temporarily for fear of sunstrole, he
had reason to feel gratified and en-
couraged by the welcome he received
at the hands of those upon whom de-
pend the success of the enterprise he
is here TO put through for Promoter

as they will year hence whether in
their minds it is deserving of their
support.
''Since leaving Rock Island last
summer" said Mr. Arthurs, Il have
listed two Michigan towns, Amigo
and Ishpeming, and it seems almost
incredible the enthusiasm that at
tended the theatre project in both
places. For instance, Amigo. whose
population is 3 400, subscribed 81, 800

possible. Half the tickets have been
disposed of. These were placed, as
you know, last summer when it was

to break the ice and make full expla-

There is no doubt of the success OF the
undertaking if committees will do
their part and the public continues to
receive me as generously as was the
case on my former trip"
Mr.. Arthurs resumes his canvass
tomorrow morning. having decided
to rest today from the firing effects of
an all-night ride from Green Bay, VIE
He said it was his intention to be here
weeks ago, and sickness alone de-,
tanned him.
For People TO Decide.
There is nothing new to say about
the theatre proposition. Mr.. John
ston will purchase site as soon as
the seats for the first nights perform
ance are sold. Subscription money is
not collectab!e until the house is un-
der roof. The theatre is to cost not
less than $4,000. A bond will be
given in any amount to insure fulfill
ment of every detail in the contract.
Rock Island has been CRYING for q
new play house for several years. The
goods are here ready for delivery. 1t
is with the public to seal the bargain.

The Freeho1ders did well at their
last meeting to adopt the report of
the Jail Committee recommending
that plans be procured for the cree
ton of a new Jail or for renodelling
the present one. The last project we
believe ato be hardly feasible--it is
damp and unhealthy and any plan
which would let enough light into il
would lessen the cell accommodation
to an extent which would not make il
worth while to retain the building for
ordinary jail purposes.
The free competition may produce
plans with good deal of fancy archi-
lecture. That is not what is needed.
We require practical Jail, meeting
the requirements of the laws of the
State with regard to the classification
of prisoners and at the same time with
proper sanitary arrangements. Before
the erection of Jail is actually begun
it would be we'll for the Freeholders'
Committee to consult one or more ex-
perts on Jail construction.
The question raised by the director
as to holding men in jail for a long
time for costs of a petty amount is an
important one both to the County
and the prisoner Some trifing
offence deserving of few hours i'm
prisonment sometimes shuts man up
in Jail for months simply because he
has not the necessary amount to
pay the COSTS A workhouse attached
to the Jail with a statutory provision
as to the amount of work to be done
to discharge each dollar of costs
might solve the difficulty until the
State adopts some more rational sys-
tenn of dealing with persons guilty OF
minor offences.

The unfortunate case of Robert
Buchanan is sadder than even appears
in the bulletins announcing paralysis
loss of speech and clouded mental
faculties. For over two years he has
been subject to pneumonia and heart
disease following influenza. Next
came insomnia, and the sturdy spirit
breaking down, he was plunged in
deepest melancholia. A little more
than two months ago, he made a
miraculous recovery, and wrote serial
story, finished play, and was making
rapid PROCESS with his autobiography
when the blow fell. He was talking
with friend discussing future plans,
when. without warning or signal of
danger, he was stricken down
paralyzed and speechless.
One of the most recent announce

Harnack, of Berlin, a distinguished
scholar of the Bible, gives it as his
unqualified opinion that the epistle
was written by Priscilla. mentioned
as gifted and holy coworker even
by Paul, who in general seems not to
have had much of an opinion of
