AT SPENCER SQUARE.

A Frenchman appears in the min
istry of justice scenes in Madame /
Presidente," at the Spencer Square to-
day and tomorrow, the Anna Held
picture, who looks too genuine to be
true and whose beard may be sus-
pected as a piece of makeup. On the
contrary, he is a native of France and
the famous beard is real AS a matter
of fact, he is not an actor, but a pro-
fessor of languages, and was discov-
cred by chance. When Director Lloyd
was exploring the French quarters for
atmosphere for the famous French
farce he frequented an old cafe with
French residents. At one of the tables
he spied this gentleman and some of
his fellow countrymen and speedily
pressed them into service for the pict-
ure. When the time came to make
the scenes the "One with the beard
showed such relish in living over his
French life in the make-believe Of
Madame L Presidente" that Lloyd
saw at once that he possessed dia-
m0nd in the rough. Accordingly he
took the graceful Frenchman out of
the crowd for which he had been orig
inally secured, rehearsed him for a
week or two and sent him on in the
difficult part of Francois.

artistic singing, dancing and musical
diversion, headlines the excellent bill
which Manager Blanchard is offering
the patrons Of the Columbia theatre,
Davenport, for the last half of the
week. Seven young ladies, beautifully
costumed in colonial fashion, give Sc
lections on the violin, cello and piano
as well as a pretty execution of the
stately minuet. The act is high class
in every particular and the kind that
the average vaudeville fan enjoys in
hearing a second time. Jack Delman

laughable reproduction of a Monday

1t from what actually daily occurs in
playhouses all over the country. Del

LOSES HIS PURSE
Paul Bark of Hillsdale Is Made Victim
Of PickpOckets-M Money Taken
When He Boards Train.

Paul Bark of Hillsdale, former Mo
liner, yesterday reported to Moline po-
lice that he had ben robbed of his
pockebook, containing S4S' in money.
The theft was committed Saturday eve
ming, however, and had not before
been reported because Bark was on
his way home when it occurred.
The Hillsdale man, after spending
the day in Moline, boarded train for
Hillsdale at the Burlington station at
the Burlington station at 6:32. Several
men behind him crowded upon the
steps as he started to enter the car. AT
the same time a large fat man in front
of him stepped back. so that for a mo-
ment he was pinned against the rear
of the car platform. AS this happened
he felt someone lift his overcoat and
remove his pocketbook from his hip
pocket.
Bark called out, but no one was
near to help him. The fat man STEP
ped off the train and Bark accused him
of having the pocketbook, thinking an
other of the gang had passed it to him
The fat man denied it.
In the meantime the train, with Bark
On board, pulled out. He delayed re.
porting the matter until he returned tC
Moline on a bushes trip yesterday.

AT THE ILLINOIS.

The Birth of a Nation" will be
shown here at the Illinois theatre for
half week commencing Sunday mat
inee, with two performances daily, for
the second time and it is not at all
probable that it will ever be brought
here again as there are many other
portions of the country where the peo-
pie have not yet seen it. Those who
saw it when it was here on its first
visit know full well the beauty of the
spectacle and the great interest CEN
tered in the production. 1t will be
shown here at its forthcoming en-
gagement exactly the same as it was
presented before with the same Or
chestra, the same management and
identically the same number OF views
there being more than five thousand
of them. 1t seems to be a well estab-
lished fact that hundreds of people are
not content with seeing it only once
but to fully digest the production in
its entirety believe they should see it
more than once.

GREEN IS DOWNED
BUT NOT TO STAY
Conductor Hennessy on Bridge Line
Follows Custom of 10 Years, But
Encounters Trouble.

Here's today's st. Patrick's day
story.
William ]. Hennessy of Davenport
has been a conductor on the Bridge
line for the last IS years. And on each
st. Patrick's day there tioated in the
breeze a little green pennant from the
rope on the trolley on his car. Never
was the "wearin' O. tn green" on his
ear molested until today.
This morning, in keeping with his
custom, before his car left the barn,
Conductor Hennessy pulled the trolley
down and within a few feet of the
top of the rope he fastened the green
pennant The car made three round
trips without incident and many old
timers saw the ribbon and knew that
Conductor Hennessy was still on the
Job, for a man cannot religiously keep
up a custom year after year without
the public knowing -

Davenport patrolman stopped the car
at the corner of Main and Second
streets According to Hennessy, the
officer ordered him TO remove the rib
bon The Davenport minion told him
that unless he placed an American
flag over the green pennant he would
have to remove the latter. The con-
ductor told him he had no flag.
Then take the green away" came
the edict
The pennant came down.
But not to stay.
Hennessy called the police station
in Davenport and talked to authorities
there They said no such orders haG
been given to the patrolman and de-
clared that the green could wave il
the breeze without hindrance from the
Davenport police department
Then Hennessy called at the RocE
Island station and was informed thai
local authorities would not permit
harm to come to the ribbon.
The remainder of the day the greer
foated in the breeze and waved de

One of the most notable and inter
esting men in the film world is Hobart
Bosworth, the actor-director who has
attained such great success with big
feature films. His is thrilling life
story. He was born in Ohio and when
mere lad ran away to sea, landing
finally in San Francisco. He made
many futile attempts at different oc-
cupations and then drifted into the
theatrical profession. After many more
trials and tribulations he won success
playing with such celebrities as Au
gustin DAILY, Henrietta Crossman, Ju-
LA Marlowe, Minnie Maddern Fiske
and others.
Mr.. Bosworth will shortly appear as
the star in THE Yaqui," a picture-leg-
end of old Mexico. The picture is
based on incidents in Dane Coolidge's
novel, THE Land of the Broken Prom
ise," and will be timely exposition
of the methods of warfare and yenge-
full intrigue in Mexico.

The report follows:
At $3.50, May Is, the first meeting
was held in Castle Hall. After many
preliminaries, there were several very
cordial addresses of welcome, some
excellent music and interesting talks,
but the feature Of the afternoon was
the speech of Hon. J. N. Tillman of
Arkansas, relative to the cotton tax
bill for which he is giving much of
his valuable time and attention. ]
wish every southerner could have
heard him and hope many will, as
he is determined to attend, when pos
sible, every convention connected with
the Confederacy and explain fully this
most misconstrued, but just, bill.
At 8 a. m. on Tuesday, the Memoir
ial Association held its first business
session in the parish house, adjoining
the Church of the Advent. Mrs. Be-
han presided and opened the meeting
by reciting the Lords Prayer, in which
