When Lolita Armour was all bound
up in plaster casts. after the big and
famous surgeon from Vienna, DIR. Lo-
REM, had operated on her for hip joint
disease, she received one day pack
age inscribed on the back: From a
little boy whose leg is crippled" In
the package was a small dolly, COM
mon as to quality, but handsome and
good as all dollies are in the eyes of
little girls. And the dolly so strange
ly coming to her proved to be quite
a favorite with Lolita, whose mother
opened a correspondence with the
mother of the little boy who had sent
it. Their letters to each other brought
out the facts that the little boy was
suffering from a disease similar to
Lolita's, and that the mother of the
little girl was anxious that the small
boy should have the attention of the
great surgeon at her expense, since
his own parents We're poor. And so
it was arranged that DR.. Lorenz should
see and treat him. That was months
ago. A few days ago the little boy,
Alvin Black by name, was discharged
Erom the hospital fully cured, and
with his legs as nimble and strong as
those of any other six-year-old boy.
And there was no happier boy in
America than little Alvin was when
he ran and skipped on the streets.

ARRANGING FOR YIN. C. A.
COURSE NEXT SEASON

notwithstanding the fact that the
course of the Y. NJ. G. a. during the
season just past was not as success
full as had been hoped and was carried
on at a slight loss to the association,
the members who had charge of the
enterprise are resolved next year to
attempt something still more elabor
ate than the past winter. and to that
end they are making plans at the
present time. The committee that
has been appointed to look after the
matter of arranging another course
is composed of Secretary J. II. Key
ser, o. L. Benway. Fred Titterington,
r. c. Kicker and f. A. Graves. These
gentlemen expect to have something
to report in the near future.

Tea Smoking.

1t has been recorded on good author
ity that one of the early uses made of
dried tea leaves was to smoke them
after the manner of tobacco.
On the first Introduction of tea into
Europe. in the seventeenth century,
pipes, especially in France, were fire.
quentIy filed with tea. at least among
the weather. classes of society, to
whom on account OF its high price it
was alone accessible. and the fumes of
the leaf were thus enjoyed, like tobac-
co. without prejudice to the use ordi-
nariIy made of it as a beverage.
Blegny, a French physician of the
time, in work published in 1857 and
quoted in lie Grand d'Aussy's His
toire de la Vie Privee des Francois"
has a reference to this practice of
smoking tea. which was then, as be
affirms, frequent and popular fash
ion.

ANOTHER CHAPTER IN
GENEsE0 BICYCLE CASE

The taking of Adolph Fisher. a
negro, from Davenport to Cambridge
by Sheriff Stiers, of the latter place.
yesterday opens up another chapter
in a peculiar case in which the local
police had something to do about a
year ago. Fisher is held for stealing
bicycles and there seems to be some
prospect that he will be found guilty.
The crime took place in Geneseo.
y hardware store was entered and
three bicycles were stolen. They
were brought to this city, presumably
by two colored men. The local police
were notified of the theft the next
morning. but the thieves had already
passed through this city and gone to
Davenport. They had left one of the
machines here and it was recovered.
The Davenport police arrested Nor
man Hedges and Carl Oliver. The
former turned states evidence and
was given his liberty. The latter was
tried and convicted and is now serv-
ing term in the penitentiary.
Fisher was arrested in Davenport
several days ago, but he refused to go
to Henry county to stand trial with
out requisition. This was procured
and now he is no better off than
though he had gone in the first place
without making fuss about it.
Bert O'Neal was fined 50 and costs
this morning by Magistrate Johnson
for being drunk.

OLD FIRM CLOSES
j. & M. RosenfieId. Wholesale
Leather Merchants, Have
Discontinued.
ALMOST HALF CENTURY IN BUSINESS
Individual Members to Devote Their
Attention to Separate
Lines.

Through a change that is now prac-
tieally accomplished one of the old
est, if not the very oldest, firms in the
city has gone out of business. The
firm in question is ] & NJ Rosenfeld,
wholesale leather merchants, located
at 1626-2S Second avenue, whose bus
mess has been operated continuously
since 1856.
For nearly half Il century j. q NJ.
Rosenfield have conducted one of the
substantial industries of the city and
in that time have contributed in no
small degree to Rock Islands pros
perity. Beginning in a small way in
the shoe finding business the firm
branched cut till it conducted one of
the largest establishments for the
handling of leather, hides and furs Of
any in the west.
For many years trappers for many
miles up and down the river sent their
furs here to be sold while later the
firms travelling statesmen covered the
states of the middle northwest.
Son Becomes Associated.
For so years a large business was
done by the original firm, composed
of Joseph and Mayer Rosenfeld.
Then the latter disposed of his inter
ests to Meyer. son of Joseph Rosen-
field, and thus continued till about
three years ago. Then a reorganiza-
tion was effected and the firm incor-
pcTated, the senior member practic-
ally retiring, though continuing as the
nominal head, but his sons, Julius and
Abe, being the active members.
About a year ago it was decided to
dispose of the stock and discontinue
the business, and last winter the trav
cling men were called in from the
road and the reduction of the stock
has been going on from that time
since, till now it is practically sold
out
The place of business occupied for
so many years will remain i'm use and
will be occupied by members of the
firm, who have decided to devote
themselves individually to other lines.
