ADJUSTMENTS.
At the Hijou.

At the Bijou.
 Since early childhood we have all been taught that at the last moment in every story the good fairy would appear and banish the goddess of evil and repair all wrongs. For that reason any play, to be 8 success, must have a happy termina- tion. "A Social Highwayman" is weak in that respect. The final scene kills the hero and breaks the heart of the heroine.
 The cast in the production last night was strong. and the parts were played well. Frank Gilmore, the social high wayman, enacted the role with as much ease and grace as he has others. As a cool william in the midst of tempestuous social seas he shows somewhat the same interpretation as might Richard Mans field. He Is cool and collected as the thief. He is duly remorseful as the man in love with a good woman. He pays the debt he owes society and tries to live his past down. He is then the man. To pro- tect the reputation of his friend he tells the world that he is the thief and the robber. To protect the woman he loves he gives his own life.
 The climax is the fourth act. Through his career he has braved all, but at last he even tells the woman he loves, and the first person to teach him that he had a soul, that he is thief and makes her promise to believe in his friend. When he finishes his startling statement the circle of friends is amazed. The woman he loves starts toward a balcony where the masonry is insecure and he jumps to save her. In doing so he brushes her aside and himself steps on the balcony. The masonry falls and he dies.
 The other strong character is that of Dewitt Jennings. He Is the servant of the social highwayman, and crook him. self, but he claims to have committed the numerous crimes and tries to protect his master. He has shown a marked ability to act character parts and his work. all though he has the unpopular part, is roundly applauded by the audiences. Grace Kimball has not cs strong a part as usual She is good in what she has, especially in the last scene when she lays the rose on the foided hands of the social highwayman, the man she loved.

TOOK LAST FROM ROCKFORD.
Case Pitched Brilliant Ball and With
Perfect Support Made 1t y ShutOat.

Rock Island played beautiful ball
Saturday and shut Rockford out by
score of to 0. Case was much in
evidence and pitched a clean, reliable
game. Little hitting was done by
either side, but Rock Island punched
three, including three-bagger, in the
first inning, netting three runs and
winning the game. After that neither
side was able to work a man around
the circuit.
Rock Island had an errOrless record,
while one bad mark was chalked up
against Rockford. In the first inning
Crum was first up for Rock Island,
and was retired at first. Donnelly was
in fine mettle and landed on the ball
for Il triple. He scored on Graham S
hit, the latter tallying with the as
sistance of an error, Nandine got his
base on fielder's choice and was
scored on O'Leary's hit. For the
balance of the contest both teams put
up fine fielding games and no scores
were made Score.

For the ninth time this year Daven-
port has been defeated by Rock ISL
and on the baseball diamond. Yes
terday's game was nearly repetition
of that played across the river three
weeks ago when Davenport lost 10 to
6. Nearly 5000 saw the contest, the
largest baseball crowd of the year on
the local grounds.
The game was a smuggling match so
far as Rock Island was concerned.
Both Deller and LeKaff were taken
out of the box. Graham succeeded
La Kaff and was given good support
with the exception of the sixth in
ming when errors were largely re-
sponsible for four runs by the WISH
tors. Latimer achieved fame by bat
ting out Il triple in the fourth with
the bases full. Neither side played
gilt-edgc ball, but superior hitting
won the contest for the locals.

After his exhibition in the fourth
Deller was replaced by Stauffer, who
was more effective, but O'Leary

inning, one two-bagger by Sullivan.

THElRNEED IS GREAT
Four Bread Winners of Armstrong
Family Kept From Work by
Illness.
Father, Mother and Six Boys on
Verge of Starvation One DAN
gerously Sick.

Gloom and poverty pervade the resi-
dence of Thomas Armstrong, zoo Ninth
street S, where five. children are confined
to athe house by measles and a sixth boy
is lying at The points of death with pneu-
monia. The family has no money and has
had to depend upon the kindness of the
neighbors for fuel and food.
Mr.. Armstrong is a crippled old soldier
and for several years he has been unable
to work. Mrs. Armstrong was employed as
janitress in the chamber of commerce,
where she got $1.25 per night for scrub
bling. Thomas, the eldest son, who has
a crippled hand had employment as an
elevator operator; James. the second boy,
worked at the Bemis bag factory, while
a younger brother was employed as 81
messenger boy. These four added their
earnings to the small pension received hS'
the father and the sum, although meagre,
supported the family Of eight in a mod
est way.
About four weeks ago all six Of the chill
dren became i'll With the measles and the
mother was obliged to give UP her posi-
ton at the chamber Of commerce. while
the three boys earnings were stopped
on account of sickness. All that was left
was the pension of only So per month.
They pay 50 rent per month. They saw
starvation staring them in the face. but
were unwilling to make application to the
city poor department.
AS they Fad no money with which to
pay a doctor, Mrs. Armstrong refused to
summon physician and she did her best
to care for the sick ones They all got
along nicely except James, boy of IL
who was in such a weakened condition that
he contracted pneumonia. All the other
children have recovered from the measles
although they are all suffering from Sc
we're coughs and are extremely weak.
When the neighbors heard that James
had the pneumonia, the matter was dis
cussed and the rumOr reached the ears
of DR.. Rose V. Vel!aley, who had at
tended Mrs. Armstrong in an illness ,sev-
eral months ago. She called without de
lay and offered medical attendance and The
offer was accepted. Yesterday it was
thought the boy could not recover and {
priest was summoned but this morning
DR.. Vellaley found him much better a,lC
hopes that he will recover.
