Couple in Play paid in Full" Failed

DRAMA SEEN AT ILLINOIS
Though Story is Full of Surprises it is
of Absorbing Interest and Points
Moral.

Eugene Walters showed am intricate
knowledge of domestic economy, as
well as an understanding of hui 1an
nature when he wrote the play, paid
in Full" which was presented at the
Illinois theater last evening. At the
same time he disregarded the usual
custom of leaving everybody happy at
the finale.
1t is made to appear that getting on
in New York city on SIS per week is
quite a different proposition from what
the majority of writer's in the essay
contest conducted by The Argus which
closed Friday evening appear to re
gard the same achievement in Rock
Island. At the same time, the moral
which one must infer, is that with
sufficient economy and fortitude il
could be done even in New York, al
least till the head of the house Sc
cured "raise."
While there were no stars in the

company that played here last even
ing, all the seven people in the cast
were competent and well fitted to the
parts. T. G. Cooke took the part of
Joseph Brooks. collector for the Latin
American Steamship company, who
had married a delicately nurtured
though sensible girl, impersonated by
Catherine Proctor Albert Andres ap-
peared in tie role of cheerful Jim
Smith, who divided the honors as hero
with Frank Burton, taking the part
of Captain Williams, president of the
Latin-American company, and employ
er of both Brooks and Smith. These
four are the actors in all the heavy
scenes.
Mr.. and Mrs. Brooks are trying to
get along on SIS per and are making
a sad showing. Smith, who was an
unsuccessful sutton for the hand OF
Mrs. Brooks, is close friend of the
pair, and is the referee, mediator and
adviser when trouble arises.
Brooks the villain.
BrookS SHOWS up bad from the start
but remains honest till, after being
tainted by his vain mother-in-law and
sister-in-law, he appropriates money
belonging 10 the firm to take his wife
to the theater. Having made a start
he goes in deeper and deeper, playing
the races in a vain effort to recoup
till he has taken over $4,000.
Then comes discovery, and, under
the pressure of circumstances he
shows his real character by requesting
his wife to go to his employer, whom
he believes an admirer of hers, ani
barter for his immunity. The wife, fol
the sake of her name, performs hel
part, keeps her honor, uncovers gen
in the rough in the captain, whose
reputation has been none the best, ant
then leaves her husband after {;
dramatic scene.
While there are disappointment:
and surprises in the play, it is exceed
ingly interesting. A return engage
ment is booked for Jan. %.

The women were gratifed to hear

Mr. Dunn won, but there was an

admitted that he cast his vote for
Dunn, which gives the assessors

TUGS TO OPERATE IN
STRAITS OF MAGELLAN
Danish Project VIII Enable Sailing
Vessels TO Avoid Passage Around
Cape Horn.

Berlin, Jan, 19.-The impeding pas
sage of the American battleship fleet
through the straits of Magellan and
the widespread discussion among navi-
gators regarding the dangers of that
passage lend unusual interest to the
announcement that a company is being
organized in Denmark to establish q
complete towing service in those wat
ers. According to a dispatch to the
Vossiche Zetung from Copenhagen
the scheme originates with the well
known Danish writer Otto LARSEN,
who was himself for many years a
sailor and often made the voyage
around the horn. The number of sail
ing vessels from English. German,
Dutch and Scandinavian ports pass
ing around from the Atlantic into the
Pacific is estimated at about 5000
yearly
AS is known this is one of the most
dangerous points in the oceans of the
world. LARSEN estimates that an
average of a dozen vessels with 300
men are lost there every var.
Th vessels that round the cape areI
mostly on their way to Chilean ports
for the purpose of taking on Cargoes
of nitral soda for European markets
and as most of them make the out
ward voyage under ballast, owing to
the difficulty of finding outward cargo.
their passage around the horn is at
tended with especial danger, Vessels
must waste much time in buffetng
with wind and wave, and even afterI
rounding the cape they must often
need repairs owing to strain they have
1t takes sailing vessels
four to siX weeks to round it, whilel
they could be towed through the
straits in thrtysiX hours As the rate
Of insurance for vessels rounding the
cape is very high, owners would get
much lower rates by sending their
vessels through the straits. hence the |
promoters of the new scheme assume |
that all owners Of 1000 ton vessels |
and larger viii be willing to pay lib
orally to have their vessels towed |
through the straits.
