HOTEL THIEVES BUSY
Rock Island House Worked by
Same Party Who Was
at Harper.
SNEAK EXHIBITS PLENTY OF NERVE
Kirk Restaurant Visited Oh
erations Carried on in
Davenport.

The Harper house was not the only
place in this vicinity that was visited
by the thief that made away with
number of valuables belonging to o..
w. Peaslee Monday afternoon.
About o'clock yesterday after
noon the same party who was in the
Harper house went through two
rooms in the Rock Island house, Sc
curing open-face chatclaine
watch, large opal pin, gold pen,
fountain pen and mounted comb,
the property of +. l.. Francisco, of
Three Rivers, Mich.
The fellow was seen and the de-
scription tailed with that of the par
ty noticed coming out of the Peas
lee apartment in the Harper house.
Second Party Seen.
Yesterday afternoon II. Il. Foster,
boarder at Kirkman's restaurant
on Fifth avenue, lost watch in the
same manner. Mr.. Foster is rail
road man and he was asleep in his
room when a stranger entered and
began searching for valuables.
The sleeper awoIle and when the in
truder noticed that he had been
caught he covered his retreat by pre-
tending that he had been sent to call
Mr.. Foster to dinner. The latter sus-
pected that something was wrong,
however. and Immediately began Il
search. discovering that his gold
watch had been taken from his trous-
ers pocket. Looking out of his win
dow he saw the thief board Il train
that happened to bc pulling out for
Davenport at that moment. The po-
lice across the river were notified by
telephone. but they did not catch the
fellow.
Gives Description
Mr.. Foster was able to give the po-
lice very good description of the
man. and it * plain that it was not
the same party who was seen in the
hotels in this city. Evidently there
has been an organized gang at work
about here for the past few days. as
the KimbaII and the st. James hotels

ences with the same sort of gentle

Details Recited.

The application is somewhat
lengthy affair and goes into the var
ious acts of the legislature and of
the county and city during and subse-
quent to the year 1885, when the
town of Stephenson was first laid
out as county seat. In accordance
with the enactments it is set forth
that all the land lying north of what
is now the south line of First avenue
was set apart for the public use as
Mississippi street, and the same was
true of the intersecting streets, in
Guiding West Eagle street, now Sew
enteeth street. The same having
been accepted as streets in the plat
adopted by the town of Stephenson
and the city of Rock Island and hav-
ing been used as public streets for IA
long period of time, it il declared
that they ought to remain free and
open to the public.

A Poverty Stricken Queen.

Partly owing to the fact that she was
welded to an avaricious king and part
ly because she was generous with the
little money allowed her Elizabeth of
York, queen of Henry VII, spent but a
small amount for dress. She was very
often in debt. and the sums she spent
were ridiculously small, 20 shillings $50
being the greatest amount expended at
any one time. Her gowns Were mend
ed and turned, and new waists were
made for them, as is shown by the rec
ord of bills paid to her tailor. These
bills prove that she wore her clothes
for q long time, for her gowns were
obliged to be newly hemmed, and also
that, though a princess of the great
house Of Plantagenet, she wore shoes
costing but "A cents, which We're deco
rated with tin buckles!

A Strange Target.

In ''The Book of the Rife the Hon.
T. T. Freemantle tells the following
amusing story apropos of accidents to
markers:
"Sir Henry Halford on one occasion
it was not very clear day-was
about to begin shooting at 1000 yards
and, thinking that the marker must
now be ready for him to begin, asked
him through the telephone, Are you
all right" The marker replied, All
right, sir. in 4 minute;;' but, unlucklly,
Sir Henry took All right, SIR instead
of the whole sentence and removed the
telephone from his ear. He lay down
and fired his shot, and on looking
through the telescope to see where II
had hit was Mortified to see the marker
with q perfectly white face staggering
toward his shelter. He was intensely
alarmed, and in a moment there came
u ring at the telephone. What has
happened? Are you badly hurt" NO,
sir, am not hurt; but had bucket
of whitewash between my legs paint
ing the target, and you put a bullet into
it and splashed it all up in my face

East Indian Idols.

The images of the gods in India are
carpenters and masons respectively
make the large wooden and stone idols
set UP in the temples, the potters the
clay idols consumed in daily worship
and the braziers, coppersmiths and
goldsmiths the little images in brass,
yer that are always kept in private
homes. The East Indians regard an
alloy Of brass with five other metals
gold, silver, iron, tin and lead, making,
with the copper and zine of the brass,
a mixture Of light metals-as a perfect
alloy, and this is highly priced as a
material for sacred images.

Lord Palmerston died at his post two
days before he was eighty-one, his fac

strength little affected by his advanced

morning, look around to assure himself
that he was alone, then climb over the

again to test the strength of his MUS
