A HOME FOR AGED WOMEN:
IS A NOBLE UNDERTAKING

The building of Il home for aged
ladies Is the most pretentious under
taking that has been shouldered by
the little band of ladies calling them
selves the Helpers Circle of the Kings
Daughters. The baby show at Rock
Island Turner hall June and $ is to
be under the auspices of the circle
and it * expected TO realize nice
sum from the enterprise to aid the
old ladies' home project.
The circle has labored quietly
among the city's poor for several
wears, but little is known of its his
tory. The first meeting Of the ladies
who organized it was held Aug. %.
1892. Adopting the idea of the inter
national society to work in His name.
they called themselves the Helpers
Circle and selected as their motto ITO
10 and give that others may live" The
first money which the ladies made was
given To the Central PRESBYTERIAN
church. but the circle is at present
nOn-sectarian.
The society has always helped poor
families and worthy individuals by
giving them food. fuel and other
H'ttSSliltS. htN also contributed 10
different institutions, furnishing a
room i'm the Y. NJ. {. \. and one at St.
Anthony's hospital. Patients were
also kept at the hospital at the eX-
pcnsc of the circle. The Kings Daugh-
tiers gave aid to the relief society.
They work for one object and save all
their money for that. They think
that eventually home for aged ladies
can be built, for Iowa has two very
near herein Davenport and Musca-
tin. These two homes are always full.
which shows that such an institution
is appreciated. In many families the
younger members are willing to push
the older ones aside, causing n great
deal of unhappiness. In the home ev-
eTything is done for the comfort and
enjoyment of the aged people. The
Kings Daughters will have to begin
on small scale, probably getting a
house which will accommodate not
over half dozen ladies, but which
they hope will grow as people see
their efforts to make a success of
their undertaking.

CONGRESS MAY EMPLOY
ANOTHER BUSINESS AGENT

Inc Irl-City Labor congress for sew
eral months has been without a bust
ness agent, and the unemployment Of
an official of that character was dis
cussed at meeting held last evening
at the Rock Island Industrial Home.
1t was claimed that the withdrawal Of
unions from the central body was due
TO the lack of a business agent. who
was really the moving spirit of the
congress, for without him there was
no one whose particular business it
was to carry out the orders of the
body and look after its interests as
well as those of the various organiza-
tions affiliated Herewith. No action
was taken.
1t was the first session under the
new rule to hold night instead of dav
meetings. More of the delegates are
able to be out for the night meetings
than for those held Sunday after
Moons, especially in the summer. when
there are so many counter Sunday at
fractions, including baseball. Three
lady delegates were received from the
Regalia Workers union. They asked
further time to prepare a reply to the
statement implying that their union
was formed solely for the advantage
of their employers in the securing of
contracts from labor organizations
made at a former meeting of the con-
gress.
\ resolution. offered by the del
egates from the Expressmen's union.
was adopted. requesting all friends of
union labor to demand the showing of
a card by all drivers whom they en-
gage to haul passengers or baggage.

Worlds Greatest Cornetist.

Bohumir Kryl. the Bohemian cor
netist. who will appear with lines
and his band during the Forthcoming
engagement in Rock Island. is be-
yond any question the greatest cornet
soloist in the world. He produces
tones upon his intrument that are
impossible to all others. His phenom-
email "tonguing." his breadth of tone,
phTaZing. brilliancy-all stamp him
as the cornetist of the decade. During
his appearance with lines and his
band on tour, and with Duss, both on
tour and for 20 weeks in the st.
Nicholas in New York, this popular
artist received unstinted praise. Ed
gar Poe Allen. dramatic critic of the
Kansas City Journal thus speaks of
Kryl.
