Father of the Man.

Mr. Tompkins had never given this
subject any thought, and was hardly

its so because it is, L suppose"
"Well, pop, since I'm your father,
I'm going to give you a ticket to the

NOT A CLAPTRAPPER,
An Incident OF Alexander Sa1vini's
First Stage Appearance.


First Stage Appearance.
Tommaso Salvini, the great actor, al
though he gave every assistance to his
son when he had proved his ability on
the stage, was averse at first to his be-
coming an actor and would not help
him to obtain a hearing. The young
mans first appearance was made by
favor of Clara Morris, his good friend,
at charity entertainment in Yonkers,
where he recited "The Charge Of the
Light Brigade
He was then very young, very eager
and still delightfully."- queer in his Eng
lish. A few days before the great oc-
casion some one used in his presence
the word c1aptrap.

Alessandro at once. "Clap is So" he
struck his hands together. TRAP is

1T is vulgar or unworthy bid for
applause" his hostess explained.
''Bahw he reioined, with contempt
II know him. That cheap actor who
plays at the gallery. He is, then, in
English, claptrapper, is he not?'
On the night Of his debut, although
the poor fellow declared he was "sick
with the scare" he pulled himself to-
sether in time and delivered the poem
most stirringly.

his high, clear forward, the Light

clever bit Of work, a trifie too ford,
but that was the result of nervousness
The instinct of the actor was twice
plainly shown-once when on making
mistake, instead Of stammering or
going back, he swiftly jumped the
faulty lines and dashed on securely
with the others, and again when at the
close he read with much feeling the
words:
Honor the charge they made,
Honor the Light brigade.

NEW MOVE MADE
Kenworthys Petition Court to
Mandamus City to Remove
Street Railway Tracks.
FORMER DEMAND IS IGNORED
Held That Company is illegally Oc-
cupying Pablo Thorough
fares.

The city council having ignored the
petition of s. Il. Kenworthy, filed Nov.
Z. demanding the removal of all the
tracks of the Tri-City Railway COM
pany from the streets of Rock Island
on the ground that the company was
occupying the said thoroughfares IL
legally. Mr.. kenworthy has now APP
pealed to the circuit court to manda
mus the city officers To compel them
to carry out the terms of the afore-
said petition.
The latest proceeding was instituted
yesterday afternoon, j. Il. Kenworthy,
father of the petitioner and the at
torney in the case, filing a vOluminOus
document of ninety-onc typewriter
pages with the circuit clerk. Besides
the realtors allegation of facts, the
petition embodies reproduction of all
the street railway ordinances ever
passed by the ROCK Island city coun-
ell. and the validity Of each attacked.
1t is held the ordinances are void
from the alleged fact that the rights
that they gave were not consented to
by the owners of the property on the
streets occupied by the tracks of the
railway company; that the ordinances
were not properly presented to the
council and that Il company is not
authorized by law to buy or dispose
of street rights given by franchise. 1t
is also set forth that the Tri-City Rail-
way company and its predecessor. the
Davenport Il Rock Island Railway
company, are foreign corporations,
and that therefore the council had no
legal right to grant them the conces-
sions they have been enjoying.
Enabling Act Attacked.
The enabling act of the Illinois leg
islature of 1903 is also attacked. II
is claimed to have been an act pur-
posed to exempt the railway corpora
ton from paying taxes to the state
of Illinois. and that the enactment is
unconstitutional for the reason that
it is retroactive. and that the le@isla-
ture is incapacitated 10y the conStitu-
ten of the state from granting street
rights to Il street railway company.

inequalities of the state. The court is

mus compelling the city offioers,l to
