STECKMAN OUT PEST HOUSE
Davenport Authorities Have Bill Rock
Island County May Turn Down.

]. =. Steckman, the smallpox patient
who a few weeks ago was incarcerated
in the Davenport pest house with the
disease, has been released. 1t is pre-
sumed that Rock Island county will be
charged with the bill for his keep. and
controversy over il may result.
Steckman is the man who came from
Minneapolis to his home in Milan, and
thence went to Davenport to visit
doctor. who pronounced him to be suf
fering from a virulent case of small
pOX.
The Davenport authorities notified
Mayor McConochie that they would
send him to this side of the river but
the mayor told them that they had
better not and they reluctantly placed
him in the pest house and sent word
that Rock Island would be held for the
costs. Steckman is not a resident of
this county but had merely come here
here on a visit so there may be some
disposition on the part of the super
visors to disallow the bill when it is
presented.

 ENDEAVORERS REFUSED.

Secretary of the Navy Darling Replies
 Declares That It is Inconceivable
 That the Breaking of . Bottle of
 Wine Upon the Vessel Can Injure Her
 as n BattIeship-EviI to Him Who
 Evil Thinks.
 Washington, Aug. 17-Despite the protests of the Christian Endeayor so- cieties of Connecticut. the traditional bottle of wine will be broken across the prov of the battleship Connecticut when she is launched at the New York navy yard next month. On behalf of the Christian Endeayorers of Connecti- cut, H. E. spooner of Kensington, Conn.,, forwarded to the navy department a number of petitions requesting that wine be not used at this function but that there be used in it's stead pure crystal spring water from the Connec- ticut hills, against which for nearly 300 years no indictment has been found. and which has played vital part in build ing the sons of Connecticut into the sinews of the nation.'
 h reply, MT. Darling, the acting sec retary of the navy, sent this letter;
 T am in receipt of your communica- ton of August 12, 1904, forwarding sew eral petitions from the United Society of Christian Endeavor. requesting that the use of wine be dispensed with as a part of the ceremony of launching the battleship Connecticut, on the ground that the use of wine in the ceremony is a practice misleading to the young, questionable to others and offensive to many
 I have great respect for your cause and your organization, comprising 46,0OG societies and 100000 members in the United States, but in this particular case, as a practical question, am un- able to reach your conclusion If the youth of the country are misled, 1t is not by the ceremony of breaking wine upon the iron prov of a battlaship, and because they follow false prophets, and Eff such use of wine is questionable to others and offensive to many it is be- cause of evil to him who evil thinks.
 Tt is inconceivable that the breaking of bottle of wine upon the Connecticut can injure her as a battleship or work the slightest Injury to any man; and as an example 1t seems to me that the cause of temperance would be better served if more of the worlds product of wines were spilled overheard to wash the hulls of battleships.
 Finally, permit me to suggest that you and the 3.OOo, 900 people you repre- sent ought to find comfort in the thought that wine thus expended can neither imperil the soul nor contribute to the cup of human sorrow.
