Bankers at NIuscatine.

The steamer j. s. landed a monster
excursion at Muscatine shortly after
o'clock last evening. There were
fully 700 hundred eNcursionists from
all parts of the country, the majority
of them being representatives of
banking houses who are attending
the bankers convention being held at
Davenport and Rock Island, with their
ladies'. The boat was at the landing
when the windstOrm struck them and
many hats were seen flying from the
boat into the river. One gentleman
lost a fine SIP panama. The boat on

was not time enough to permit the

Leaving for Home.
This afternoon the members of
both associations were given ride on
the street cars about the three cities
and to Rock Island arsenal, which has
proved a source of much interest to
the visitors during their stay here.
Many left for home, this afternoon
and the majority will depart this ev-
ening. The Chicago delegation, which
of course is the largest, will return
this evening.
The matter of selecting a place for
the holding of the next convention of
the Illinois bankers is left with the
executive committee, which will meet
during next winter for the purpose of
deciding the matter. At the present
time there seems to be little doubt
that Bloomington will be the next
meeting place, as that city has put in
Il strong bid for the honor of enter
tanning the financierS and is looked
upon with favor generally by the
members.

SWANS Band Together to Punish Man

Summer lovemaking has been haz-

days of the season, says dispatch
from North Bergen, N. ]. Frequent

would be confronted by a man, cry

Or:
Take your arm from that girls
waist. That's disorderly conduct. l
arrest you!"
Then the man would display badge
and prey on the young woman's fears
by describing the horrors of the sta
tion house and picturing the shame
of the publication of her name in the
newspapers Always the fellow de-
manded money to release those whom
he pretended to arrest, and usually
he got 1t.
Last night several young men band
ed together to punish the pseudo po-
liceman. John Ring. disguised In his

This was the signal to two husky

dress hamper his blows. Carney had

he asked the sexton the name OF

OLD WHALING CAPTAIN DEAD.
After Life Filled with Adventure
Meets End on Land,

Capt. William Henry Hall. an old.
time New Bedford whaler. with an ad.
venturous career, is dead. Capt.
Hall was born at Oyster Bay, l.. L..
seventy-two years ago, and took to
the life of sailor when a youth.
He rose from man before the mast
to the command of a whaling vessel
putting out from New Bedford, and
his adventures in the years he fol-
lowed the sea covered all quarters of
the globe, facing death score of
times. As a whaler he penetrated far
into the arctic regions, and as the
commander of merchant ships sailed
four times around the world. He was
once cast among cannibals in the
South Pacific, but escaped death by
winning their friendship.
On one of his trips he was ship
wrecked and with members of his
crew was thrown upon small desert
island. For forty days they main
tained life with birds eggs and such
sea food as they could get. Finally
Capt Hall and three of the crew
volunteered to row to New Zealand.
800 miles away, in rowboat. After
perilous trip they reached New
Zealand and returned to the island in
schooner for their mates.

Sir Thomas is not the only victim of admiring
enthusiasts in New York. During the visit of a
royal parsonage about a year ago, a carload of sill
yerware suddenly disappeared from the banquet
hall, although the visitor was unfortunately spared
the edifcation of witnessing the iegerdemain; the
souvenir hunters inconsiderately delayed their per-
until his back was turned. But, it is not
unusual for hosts and hostesses to be treated to
sleightof-hand tricks. The practice has become al
most conventional in some places, and, sad to say,
there is danger that it may become national.
The self-helpers, who are experts in the disap-
pearing act should advertise their skill as treasure
acquirers by displaying the plumber in conspicuous
positions in their parlors, SO that former owners
may congratulate them upon their success. Sir
Thomas. for one, would have a lofty regard for
those guests who took him at his word and took his
silverware. 1t was a very nice, polite, courteous,
and noble deed.
