Sears gives promise of a bright flu

the following communication to The
ARGUS:
1.-The town board of Sears at it's
regular meeting held Thursday even
ing adopted an ordinance granting
the Tri-City Railway company re-
newal of its franchise in the town
limits. The ordinance makes some
changes of importance to the resi-
dents of the town. Hereafter the first
car will leave at 6:20 q. M, making
connections with the red, blue and
Elm street lines for any part OF the
city. The ordinance also provides for
the issue of communication tickets, as
heretofore, which was not part OF
the old ordinance, with the condition
that communication tickets entitle the
holder to transfer to any of the Rock
Island lines. The tickets will also be
taken up on the Rock Island lines and

Milan branch.
"The service will enable citizens OF
Sears and Milan to reach any part of
Rock Island before 2 a. m, and as the
last car out leaves the Harper house
at IL p. M, with the installation of
the electric line to Milan, the citizens
of the two towns will enjoy street
car service equaled by few of their
size, and one that will make them a
most desirable place to live.
"Sears levied no municipal tax
this year, which is the best of evil
dence that the small town is well
managed. A water power plant will
be erected this summer that will cost
about $3.50, 900, the brick plant is ex-
pected to resume operations, the old

IN BERLIN in SUMNER
THE NUMEROUS BEER GARDENS TO
WHICH ALL CLASSES RESORT.
Some Are Crowded and Noisy, Others
More Exclusive, but All Draw the
People Out of Doors.

The large cities of Europe, said a man
lately returned to his native country, after
many years spent abroad, know how to
care for their people through the hot sea-
son. and how to make liz bearable to the
thousands who are cooped up between
brick and mortar walls six days of the
week. Berlin, for instance, is asleep on
hot summer Sunday. Hardly a soul, save
the fat, drowsy policemen and the lazy cab
men. is on the streets. The city's curtains
are drawn; its shutters are closed fast; the
doors are shut and bolted. Here and there
an old porter IS lounging on the bench out
side Of his lodge door, eternally smoking
his long pipe.
Large numbers have left the city
homes for the summer. Whole families,
their servant girls, their numerous trunks
and valises, hatboxes, feather beds, UNI
brellas, baby cabs and bicycles are packed
into and on top Of the cabs (whose capac-
ity, unlike their comfort, knows limits)
en- route for the seaside.
The stay-at-homes find their recreation
in the summer gardens. In Berlin garden

with a center flower pot, where a "cool
blonde" or glass of beer. served by the
fat host himself. can be had for 10 pfen-

NEGRO LIGHTNING CALCULATIONS.
Extraordinary Aptitude for Mental
Arithmetic Displayed.

New York Tribune
lone of the oldest things came across
in my wanderinSs,' said traveller recently
returned from the West Indies, was the
for mental arithmetic. l visited a good
many of the public schools and saw some
astonishing exhibitions of this faculty,
which is probably the last with which one
would credit the grandchildren of African
sava ges, as many Of the West Indian negro
children are The currency of the islands
is of course, British, so that calculations
of any sort are more complicated than with
us. Yet an inspector or visitor can ask a
school full OF ragged urchlns what would
be the cost of seven gross of handkerchiefS
at 5 pence farthings apiece and receive the
answer almost as soon as the words are
out OF his mouth and doubtless long before
he had himself worked it out. This can be
kept up all day, TO the great enjoyment OF
the children. who regard that sort or thing
as sport. - ...,

and seem certainly little above the average.
Even when made DO sums on q STATE ihey
Perhaps that statement should be quail
fed for there is no doubt that the children
of pure-blooded Africans develop phenoS
menally for the first nVe or SIX years OF
their lives and, indeed, until twelve or thlr-
teen wears old, are fully the equals, intel
lectually of white children. L have never
seen white ba bies intelligent as some
of these negro infants at the same age
Rut when past twelve their minds seem
full grown and it is not easy TO teach them
aTce5t in cases here and there. All these
obserVa lions, however, apply to children
of negroes whose parents or grandparents
were brought from Africa when full grown.
s'There are many West Indian negroes
who do not speak English, ana there are
large societies named ACCORDING 70 the PdII
of Africa from which the members or their
narents came. y Nangobar, for instance
would not think OF joining a congo society.

than do our negroes. which makes the OBJ
