Won The southerners.

One OF the ''nerviest" illustrations
Of tact is to the credit Of Henry Ward
Beecher. After the war he made
lecture tour of the South and appeared
at Mozart Hall, Richmond, with an
address entitled, "The North and
South" He was rather doubtful as
to the reception he should have, but
he knew what he wanted and was de.
termined to get it. No applause wei,
comed him as he appeared on the plat.
form, but few bisses were heard in
the gallery. In the better rows Of
seats were some grim exc Confederates
General III .zhugh Lee, General Ros.
ser, Ex-Governor Cameron and others.
Beecher fixed his eye directly on Lee
and said q quote newspaper report
Of the incidenD:
81. have seen pictures Of General
Eitzhugh Lee, sir, and assume you
are tho man. Am | right?'
The general, slightly taken back by
this direct address, nodded stiffiy,
while the audience. bent forward
breathless with curiosity az to what
was going to follow.
"Then," said Beecher. his face
lighting up, II want to offer you this
right hand, which in its own way
fought against you and yours years
ago, but which 1 would now willingly
sacrifice to make the sunny South
prosperous and happy. Will you take
it, genersl?"
There was moments hesitation, q
moment Of death like stiffness in the
hall, and shen Fitzhugh Lee was on
his feet, his hand was extended across
the footlights and was quickly met by
the warm grasp Of the preachers.
At frst there was murmur, half
Of surprise and half OF doubtfulneas,
from the audience, then there was o
heeitating olapping Of hands, and be.
fore Beeoher had unclosed the band
Of Robert e. Lees nephew there were
cheers such as were never before heard
in old Mozart though it had been the
scene Of many war and political meet
ing. Ii
But this was only the beginning of
tho enthusiasm. When the noise had
sufficiently subsided Beecher con,
tinued:
"When I 60 back home I shall
proudly tell that l have grasped the
hand Of the nephew of the grea,
Southern ohieftain. I shall tell my
people that vent to the Confederate
capital with q heart full of love fol
the people whom my principles once
obliged me to oppose, and I was mt
halfway by the brave Southerners
who can forgive as we'll as they ear
fight"
Five minutes Of applause followed
and then Beecher, having gained the
hearts Of his audience began his leo.
ture and was applauded co his echo.

Morgan Can Dismiss Perkins: the
Policy Holders Can't.

Chicago Examiner: II is gravely re-
ported in the news from Wall street
that J. Pierpont Morgan is so displeas-
ed with the testimony of George w.
Perkins that he is about to drive him
out of the partnership in his firm.
People should not hail this as a
| sign that at last the reform wave has
| hit Wall street. II is not that Mr.
| Morgan is shocked at the revelation of
double dealing and syndicate juggling
TO which Mr.. Perkins confessed. or that
he is Mortified at the discovery that J.
+. Morgan K Co. have prOfited to the
extent of thousands or millions by the
arrangements made by Mr. Perkins of
the New York Life with Mr.. Perkins
of j. p. Morgan & Co
1t is not even that he is convinced
that the dual capacity of his partner as
a trustee of other peoples funds and
partner in a firm that wants a pro-
portion of those funds, in return for
the securities it markets, is contrary TO
public policy.
The thing that seems TO have i'm
pressed MIR. Morgan with the unworth
of his paryner-as a partners that
he should have done the things that
made valuable to the banking institu-
ton its left-handed connection with the
insurance company in such a way as to
make detection a possibility.
Possibly Mr. Morgan has a higher
appreciation of his young partner than
is ordinarily indicated by q desire for
a separation. Maybe he thinks that
man so clever as Mr.. Perkins, who
is himself the authority for the state
ment that the prosperity of the New
York Life is mainly due to him, may at
some time do with the bank what he
has already done to the insurance com
pany. Mr.. Perkins is young yet.
AT all events, whatever his reason.
Mr.. Morgan has the sympathy of a
great many men in his reported desire
10 put Mr.. Perkins outside the breast
works
II is unfortunate that an insurance

The Park Fund Question.

II is gratifying 10 know that the park
commission. as represented before last
evenings council meeting by Hon
William Jackson and F. c. Denkmann.
is so enthusiastic and ambitious as TO
what should be done in the develop
ment of Longview park the coming
year The commission is indeed quite
right in holding that the Improvement
of the park should be no longer de-
layed and that. properly appealed TO,
the people of Rock Island will respond
literally in the matter of sufficient
funds TO insure the transformation of
the grounds in accordance with plans
whose scope is in keeping with the
progressive spirit and tendency of the
city of Rock Island While conceding
10 Mayor McCaskrin the best of mo-
tiVeS and the utmost good faith in Sc
curing by subscriptions necessary funds
TO insure the councils conditional appro-
priatiOn of $1,000. the representatives
of the park board rightly maintain that
there is TOO much at stake in Longview
to undertake TO do anything with
fund of a few thousand dollars. where
il should be ten times that amount
That many business men contributed
TO the subscription papers last week
who would not care to have a compare
tive list published. would give liber-
ally To permanent fund. it is reason
able 10 presume. Mayor MCCaskrin
erred in not giving the letter written
him last summer in behalf of the park
board 10 the council. but this was but
upon his notions of the one-man admin
istration. Perhaps he will get over
this after awhile. Under the circum-
stances. nevertheless. he is to be com
mended rather than blamed in making
the CITY appropriation certain.
For the good of the park system and
the city, it is to be hoped that mayor
council and park board will reach an
understanding that will afford a happy
issue out of the pending situation.

BABY'S FACE
MASS OF SORES
Ears Looked as if They Would Drop
Off Body Entirely Covered with
Humor Three Doctors Could
Not Cure-Child Grew Worse.
CURED BY CUTICURA
IN TWO WEEKS

Mrs. George J. Steese, of 7oI Coburn
ST., Akron, Ohio, tells in the following
letter of another of those remarkable
cures of torturing, disfguring skin
humors daily made by Cuticura Soap,
assisted by Cuticura Ointm emit,
after physicians, and all else had
failed: az feel it my duty to parents
of other poor suffering babies to tell
you what Cuticura has done for my
little daughter. She broke out all
over her body with . humor, and we
used everything recommended, but
without results. I called in three doc
tors, they all claimed they could help
her, but she continued to grow worse.
Her body was a mass of sores, and her
little face was eaten away, her ears
looked as if they would drop off.
Neighbors advised me to get Cuticura
Soap and Ointment, and before had
used half of the cake of soap and
box of ointment the sores had all
healed, and my little ones face and
body was as clear as newborn babes.
/ would not be without it again if it
cost FIVE dollars, instead of seventy-fve
cents, which is all it cost us to cure
our baby, after spending many dollars
on doctors and medicines without any
benefit whatever.
