CREATING NEW STATES.
Work That Congress May Do. but,
Once Done, Cannot Undo.

Work That Congress May Do, but,
Once Done, Cannot Undo.
Several times it has been proposed
to make two states out of the state of
New York. In fact, resolutions have
been introduced in the state legisla-
ture once or twice, but have died in
committee. The purpose has been to
include all of the present state south
of Westchester county In new state
to be called Gn one instance) the state
of Manhattan. North of the Bronx
district the name OF New York was
still to be retained. The surrounding
islands of the south-all those of Long
Island sound, Long Island complete
and all of the counties comprising
New York city-were to he embraced
within the new state of Manhattan.
The creation OF a new state confers
a right that cannot later be abrogated
and in this respect is unique in the
establishment of political areas. After
the people of the district in question
have decided by vote that the carry
ing out of q new state is desired. con-
gress passes upon the application. Up
to this point congress IS supreme.
Once. however. congress agrees to the
new state creation and the new state
becomes an established fact. then no
power of the republic can undo what
has been done by legislative act. No
repeal can revoke the privileges of a
law abiding sovereign state. - New

The Proof Is in Rock Island, Almost at

The public statement of a Rock Is
land citizen is in itself strong proof
for Rock Island people, but confirma-
ton strengthens the evidence.
Here is a Rock Island citizen who
testified years ago that Doan's Kidney
Pills relieved weak Kidneys and now
any sufferer from kidney ills ask bet
ter proof? You can investigate. The
case is right at home.

LIKE BIRDS IN THE AIR
Wonderful Human Butterflies to Be
Seen With Ringing Brothers.

Wonderful Human Butterflies to Be
Seen With Ringing Brothers.
The Human Butterfly" act, the bril-
liant and dangerous aerial spectacle
which amazed France last winter, is
this year feature of Ringing Broth
ers' shows. 1t will be seen in Moline
exactly as it was presented there. 1t
was engaged by a foreign agent of the
show at a sum of money equal to twice
that ever paid for circus attrac-
ton in the past.
The three famous Ty-Bell sisters
created the act, Holding by the teeth
to slender steel cords these Venus
like girls hang from the dome Of this
tent. By means of intricate machin-
cry on the roof of the tent, they are
made to dart, fly and circle through
space with the grace and ease OF birds,
while electric spot lights food them
with fantastic color designs. They
are clothed in flowing robes of gossa-
merlike white silk and they wear long
pinions of spun glass. The ethereal
aspect of the spectacle is enhancing.
Even while spectators sit, bewilder-
ed by the sublime splendor of the sight
above them, they do not for a moment
lose sight of the daring and the danger
involved. 1t is a thriller of the most
pronounced type. 1t does not depend
on maze Of ponderous machinery to
give a death-trap suggestion. There
is real and not merely the semblance
of danger in the act. This fact is
quite evident at first sight.
This is high-priced act and an alb
solute departure from stereotyped
aerialistics. 1t must not be confound.

skirts and ribbon showers, as novel

ties.
Others among the aerialists who add
to the strength and the novelty of
the show are the famous Klarkonians,
the Flying Wards, the Richard sisters,
the great La Fayette and the Nelson
families.
The regular performance opens this
years with newly added spectacle,
telling the story of Joan Of Arc on a
stage bigger than a hundred ordinary
theatres and with a cast Of 1000 per-
sons. Also 600 horses and a train
load of special scenery is used. The
spectacle in itself cost 100000 and is
attraction enough to fill the main tent
if there were nothing else to be seen
there. The circus proper, however,
has been strengthened, the menagerie
has been enlarged, and the morning
parade is finer than ever.

NAP0LEoN'S BAD OMEN.
He Was SuperstitioUs, and His Pre-
sentiment Came True,

ne was ScperstitioUs, and f:is IRE.
sentiment Came True.
Napoleon the Great was exceedingly
superstitious. The following is told
as one of the illustrations of this:
When Napoleon. in the spring OF
1893. was lying before Acre be was
anxious for news from upper Egypt,
whittier he had dispatched Dessaix in
pursuit of a distinguished Mameluke
leader. Not many days after a cour-
tier arrived with favorable dispatches,
favorable in the main, but reporting
one tragical occurrence on small
scale that 20 Napoleon ortweighed the
public prosperity.
The commander as brave man felt
that any fate that awaited him would
be better than TO fall into the hands
of the enemy. He set fire to the pow.
der magazine. The vessel blew w
and the crew persisted.
For all this Napoleon cared little
but one solitary fact that was in the
| report which struck him with secret
alarm-this i'll fated boat was called
L'Italie. and in the name of the vessel
Napoleon read an augury or the fate
which had befallen the Italian terri
tory. He felt certain that Italy WIS
lost. and Napoleon was inconsolablc.
But what possible connection. it was
asked, can exist between this vessel
on the Nile and remote peninsula OF
southern Europe? mo matter" re
piled Napoleon. my presentiments
never deceive me. You will see that
all is ruined. am satisfied that my
Italy. my conquest. is lost TO France.
