Seward company at The Casino thea
ter. Nellie Manning, IN the chief
role, was both handsome and convinc-
ing; Arthur Lynds as the villain, Lu.
sigan, more than gained the detesta-
ton of every one present in his latest
efforts to be really wicked; Minnie
Seward as the petite French ingenue,
brought roars of laughter, while Har-
RE Hooper gave q most dramatic color
ing to the part of the Hebrew usurer.
Fred Seward was the Man OF The
People" and he won new friends fy
his quiet yet intense work In a rather

tiers were ably portrayed and the spe-
cialties between acts again gained
much applause. The company is now

conditions that he saw with his own
eyes. He said the Chirvse were the
strongest of any Asiatic people intel
lectually, but the Japs far eXcelled
them in military achievements. He
held that, while the Japs eXcelled the
Chinese in martial spirit, the Chinese
are destined to become the leaders of
progressive nations in the eastern
hemisphere.
The system of education, says the
bishop. is such that many of the great
men who guided the destiny of the
nation like Ii Hung Chang have risen
from humble station. In Pekin. the
capital of China. the city has a cen

IT was the expressed wish Of Prof
Richard Mansill before his death that
Rock Island should be the permanent
home of the geological collection that
he had spent half century in accum-
ulating and which for years had serv-
I'd to make a museum of his abode on
third avenue and Twenty-second
street. In the settlement of the Man
sill estate half interest in the col
lection fell to Joseph Cough, brother
n-law cf the professor, and the other
half was divided between the son,
Thomas Mansill. and NJ. NJ. Sturgeon.
the latter having one-fifth.
AS has been told heretofore in these
columns Thomas MansiH donated his
interest to the board of education.
MIR. Sturgeon favored division with
Augustana college and Mr.. Cough
asked that his share be apportioned
and set aside for him. All this occur
red at meeting Saturday, on which
date a committee was appointed to
look over the specimens. set aside
Mr.. Coughs share and provide for the
disposal of the balance as per orders
of owners. The committee met again
Yesterday afternoon and was able to
make the pleasing announcement that
the entire collection would be retain
ed, Mr.. Cough having accepted
proposition from the board of educa-
tion for the purchase of his interest.
The entire exhibit, with the exception
of the .one-tenth interest that Mr..
Sturgeon wishes Augustana college to
have will accordingly become the
property of the Rock Island high
school. giving that institution a min
eral and fossil collection second to
none in the country.

Members of the committee, who
visited the old Mansill home on Third

MUscATINE IN DARKNESS
Difference Over Rates Leads to Shutting
OR of Street Lights.

The city of Muscatine is getting
along without street lights. the Citi-
zens' Light & Railway company hav.
ing shut off power last night for the
first time. From the fact that the
moon is approaching the full the con
sequences were not serious, and in
fact little or no Inconvenience ensued,
but there may come a time when the
lights will be missed.
The trouble is over a diffenerce be-
tween the city and the company in
regard to the scale of prices for
lights. The company received up till
about a year ago 1892 per light annu-
ally and then the city council passed
a new franchise making the price Sos.
This was not accepted and there have
been no payments made for the sery-
ice for year. The company now
claims that the city owes $4,000 and
has taken the above method to en-
force settlement.

Fiddler without Hands.

Frank CIawson is the name of sin
gular fiddler of Atlanta. who is with
cut hands. Many years ago he was
caught in a blizzard and his arms
frozen so badly that both his hands
were amputated at the wrist. For a
long time the violin was silent. and he
supposed that his fiddling days were
over. He decided, however. to expert
ment, and, being somewhat of me-
chanical genius, he made cOntriv-
ance of heavy wire which would en-
able him to WELD the bow. The fin
gering was more difficult, but, by long
practice. he trained the stump of his
left hand to make the necessary shift
from one string to another and the
varying positions. With the violin
held in place by his chin and knees,
and, with the help of his fingerless
arms. Clawson manages to play his
old time selections with nearly as
much skill as he formerly did.
Golden Eagle a Pet.
Havana. Mason county, has a great
curiosity in the way of a golden eagle,
which has the liberty of the court
house yard and is not Gagged. He was
crippled by shot a year ago and
kept for time in crude cage. That
was finally taken away. and now the
bird flies about the park by the court
house and makes no effort to get
away. He is the special pet of
County Treasurer Damarin. who feeds
him twice day. a local butcher fur
nishes all the meat the bird will eat
free of charge. The eagle is great
curiosity and attracts much atten-
ton. He has been named Dick and
is quite pet of the school children OF
Havana.
In Lovington. Moultrie county. there
is doctor. j. ID. Donovan, who has

tees of their own.
