FINE RENTING SEASON

People who ride and drive no doubt fully
appreciate the advantages, or rather the
great improvement, to the city arising from
the making Of the driveway along the Po
tomac river from 18th and B streets to the
Long bridge. Persons of the class men,
. toned have passed over the smooth sur
face of the new road and admired the sur
roundings, which have to some extent
shared in the house cleaning operations
which have been going on in that locality.
1t will be readily acknowledged that
cleaning up was much needed, as 1t is
hardly possible to imagine place that had
been neglected SO persistently and for so
long period as this. Perhaps it was due
to the fact that it was so near the water.
At any rate, the vegetation seemed to be
unusually prolific and rank, and more
desolate place could hardly be imagined.
AS II by magic a complete tranSforma
ton has been wrought, and instead of
wild tangle of underbrush. and piles of

FRANK MCQUADE HAS BAD
RECORD IN PRISON CITY

Frank McQuade, the fellow who was
sent to the state prison recently for
wholesale robbery in the lower part
of town is at home in Joliet, and his
record there is very bad one. The
Republican. of that city, says con-
corning him:
1t didn't take the authorities of
Rock Island long to dispose of the
case of Frank McQuadc, for this
morning the young man was brought
to Joliet and taken to the penitenti-
airy for an indefinite sentence. Nc
Quade broke Jail here May 5, while
doing some work as ''trusty" in the
courthouse yard. He said that IA fell
low came along while l was working
and offered me drink of whisky, and
| took it,"
The tirewater began at once to get
in its work. and a passing freight did
the rest. He jumped the train, and
before many hours was in Rock ISL
and. Before he had been there long,
McQuade began to purloin a numer of
small articles. He was taken into
custody. waived hearing before the
police magistrate, was held TO await
sum of $1,000 bonds. and within a
week was indicted, and pleading guilty
was sentenced to the penitentiary.
The finish of McQuaid is about as
the people of this city expected. He
had been in numberless scrapes in
this city and vicinity for many years
past, and always got out of them
with short Jail sentences because the
authorities were convinced that he
was not wholly responsible. But when
| he got away from town very far
| there was no one to take such an in
terest i'm him and he soon was placed
where he will not trouble the public
| for some time to come.
The man was given more liberties
than are usually accorded to prison
erS. just because it was thought that
he would escape and get far enough
away from home where he would bt
treated like an ordinary criminal wher
he got into trouble.

Output of Gold and silver.

1t is asserted that more gold and
silver is taken out of our mines now
in one year than was known to be in
the entire world century ago. Dur
ing the past year the United States
was credited with one-third of the
output of the whole world. and while
this country is so rich in minerals
and metals. ii is also the possessor of
the best family medicine. We refer
to Hostetter's Stomach Bitters. The
fact that it has been before the pub

Company Reliable.
The Henry J. Pain company is one

1t has become famous for its cures of
these diseases over large part of the

gravating and persistent coughs it has
cured; OF severe colds that have yielded

The extensive use of 1t for whooping
cough has shown that it robs that dis

COMEDY AT
THE ORPHEUM

1.-The Lady of Ostend,'' which was
played by the Waldorf Company at the
Orpheum Theater on Saturday night,
is comedy of the advanced English
school, and the echoes of its London
success have scarce yet died away.
There was no mistake about the enjoy
ment of the audience, for the piece went
with a rattle of merriment throughout.
Mr.. Norval McGregor's representation
of the Baron of Longueville served to
show how readily he adapts his style
to any character, this being a violent
transition from the part he had assum-
ed the night before. After Mr.. McGreg-
or's excellent performance, the prize
fighter of Mr.. Jean de Lacey shared the
honors Of good characterization. Mr..
Ernest Macken hardly realized the re-
finement necessary to his part, and on
the other hand Mr.. Bayfield, made the
small part of an enterprising American
priminent.
Miss Waldorf, was on this occasion
given but little scope for the display
of her talents, but what little she had
to do as Dorothy Whortles she did
well. Mrs Dow-Currier was excellent
as the mother-in-law. The comedy was
altogether a fine entertainment, and
deserving of the best support. Tonight
another opportunity will be afforded of
seeing the highly successful, spectac-
ular and historical drama, "a Royal
Divorce" Seats will be on sale during
the day at the Orpheum.
