heard their troubles and took pity on
them after the man had declared he
had walked at least 60 miles hunting

The death of Thomas F. English,
actor and good fellow, was announced
a few days ago in The Argus, the
end coming at his old home In Bos-
ton, where he began his theatrical
career a half century ago. Tommy
English. as he was affectionately
known to his intimates, was resi-
dent of Rock Island several years,
and endeared himself TO a wide cir
Gle of friends, all of whom were sad
dened by the news of his passing.
Like so many of his professional
kind while English had gained fame
as an artist, he failed at financiering.
One day he dTifted into Rock IS
land a stranger without funds. He
had had reverses, but he held his
troubles to himself. He took the
first opening that offered in the line
of employment He became night
restaurant waiter While on this job
he was discovered" by an old friend
and afterward became manager OF
the Harper house buffet. Inere he
remained until his departure from
Rock Island some years later. 1t
was supposed by his intimates here
that he had again answered the call
of Thespis. He disappeared as mys-
teriousIy and unceremoniOusly as he
cane. He was we'll connected so
cially in Boston.
