In a letter on the present unhappy condition of the Davenport & Rock Island Kail war company, l'rcsident Louderback states that while the company is thankful for the friendly attitude of the councils oi the three cities in suspending paving opera tions for two years, yet the fact that much paving had already been done as to wiie out every cent of revenue and keep the company bor rowing and guessing and increasing its debt that led up to the pres nt hnancXal status oi affairs, until the predicament that now confronts it is its absclute inability to pav the in. terest on its indebtedness, much less reduce the prinoipal, and that grate ful as the remedy was in the suspen sion of paving, it came too late. All that can now be hoped for is a reor ganization to save the company from bankruptcy and a receiver. niyar Clplets. The packet Pittsburgh came down. The Robert -Dodds and Zalus Davis came down with eight striDgs of logs each.. The stage of the water at the Rock Island bridgo at noon was 1:95 and falling; the temperature, 88. The Pilot and Verne Swain came down, and the B. llershey, Zalus Davis, Pilot and Verne Swain passed up. The new Dubuque built revenue cutter, William Windora, is not ready to leaye the Iowa Iron works yet. because of the low stage of the river. It is feared now that she will not get well away till this fall, and perhaps not until next prtng. She has been swung between two barges so that she draws less than her nat ural draught, but the water is still too shoal to make the venture a safe one. ' Tomorrow's Base Ball Uaane.

NOVEUST HOWELLS DESCRIBES HIS - TRIBULATIONS. - A atatnaea Beggar, s 8olttarr Half Dollar awd the featest Betwtiew Tw Cm seteace Fiuettlefi A Tsamlly Calaa Xlad, Mr. W. D. Howells has written for The Century two papers entitled "Trib ulations of a Cheerful Giver," giving his expediences with the begging frater nity. The following is taken from the first pnper: Somo months ago, as I was passing through a down town street an my way to the elevated station, I saw a man sitting on tho . stops of a house. Ho seemed to bo resting his elbows on his knees and holding out both his hands. As I came nearer I perceived that ho had no hands, but onlysjtuinps, where the fingers had been cut oil close to the palms, and that it was these stomps he was holding out in the mute appeal which was his form of begging. Other wise he did not ask charity. When I ap proached him he did not look up, and when I stopped in front of him he did not speak. I thought this rather fine in its way; except for his mutilation, which the man really could not help, there was nothing to offend the taste, and his immobile silence was certainly Impressive. I decided at once to give him some thing, for when I am in tho presence of want or even the appearance of want, there is something tliat says to me, "tiivo to him that asktth," "and I have to givo or cLxs go away with a bad con science a tiling I hate. Of course I do not givo much, for I wish to bo a good citizen as well as a good Christian, and as 6oou as I obey that voice which I can not oi:;obcy I hoar another voice re proaching mo for encouraging srrect beggary. 1 havo liccn taught that street beggary is wrong, and when I have to nubntton two coats and go through three or four pockets before I can reach the small coin I mean to give in compli ance with that iiupcrativo voice, I cer tainly feci it to bo wrong. So I compro mise, and I am never able to niako sure that cither of thoso voices is satisfied with mo. I am not even satisfied with myself, but I nm better satisfied than if I gave nothing. That was the selfish reason I uow had for deciding to yield to my better nature and to obey the voico which bade me "Givo to him that asketh, " for, as I said, I hato a bad con science, mid of two bad consciences I always choose tho least, which, in a case like this, is tho ouo that incensed political economy gives ma I put my hand into my hip pocket, where I keep my silver, and found noth ing tbcro but half a dollar. This at nut-o changed the whole currcut of my feel ings, and it was not chill penury that repressed my noble rage, but chill afllu encc. It was manifestly wrong to givo , half a dollar to a man Who had no hands or to any sort of beggar. I was willing to commit a small act of inci ism, but I had not tho courage to flout political economy to the extcut of 60 cents, and I felt that when I was bid den "Givo to him that axketh" I was never meant to givo so much as a half dollar, but a cent, or a half dime, or at the most a quarter. I wished I had a quarter. I would gladly havo given a quarter, but there was nothing in my pocket but that fatal, that inexorably indivisible half dollar, tho continent of two quarters, but not practically a quar ter. I would havo . asked anybody in sight to chaugo it for me, but there was no one passing ; it was a quiet street of brownstone dwellings, mid not a thronged thorough fare at any time. At that hour of the late afternoon it was deserted, except for the beKgitr and my self, and I am not suro that he had any business to be sitting there on tho steps of another man's house, or that I had the right to encourago his Invasion V.y giving him anything. For a moment I did not know quite what to da To be sure, I was not bound to tho man in anyway. Ho had not a-sked me fur char ity, and I bad barely paused before him. I could go on and ignore tho in cident I thought of doing this, but then I thonght of tho bad cowcieuce I should be certain to have, and I could not go on. I glanced across the street, and near tho corner I saw a decent look ing restaurant, and "Wait a minute," I said to the man, as if he were likely to go awny, and I ran across to get my half dollar changed nt the restaurant. I was now quite resolved to give him a quarter, and bo douo with it; the thing was getting to be a bore. But when I entered tho restaurant I saw no one there but a young man quite at the cud of a long room, and when ho had come all the way forward to Cud what I wanted I was attained to nsk him to change my half dollar, and I pretended that I wanted a package of Sweet Ca poral cigarettes, which I did not want, and which it was a 'pure waste for me to buy, since I do not smoke, though doubtless it was better to buy them and encourage commerce than to give the half dollar and encourage beggary. At auy rate, I instinctively felt that I had political economy on my sido in the transaction, and I made haste to go back to the man on the steps and secure my self with Christian charity too. On the way over to him, however, I decided that I would not give him a quarter, and I ended by poising 15 cents on one of his outstretched stumps. In the niCht Place.

Qeaeral Ryrm's ConmsKtrea mdat Botbc the Irishman For a Momma. One of General Ryan's peculiarities is that he never tells the same story to tho same man a second time. Not long ago be was talking about his travels in United Kingdom. "I had always th jnglit," said ho, "that the famcus Irish wit an.l repartee were only to be found on the stage or in Lever's novels, but I came away from Ireland with a very different idea.. "I was stopping at a little country inn, and a gaiuo of cards was in prog ress. I was invited to tuke a hand, and as an Americanized Irishman I thought I ought to keep up tho reputation of the country for amiability. I utked what they were playing, . and they replied Forty -five, au old time Irish game. I told them that I barely knew the raVs, but that I could play seven np, euchre or nearly any other American card game. But they insisted on my taking a hand, and I did so. One of the paRes, who was standing at tho back of my chair, watched my hand pretty closely, and the first time I made a bud play he said, sotto voce: 'Holy Mofes, I uivcr eec such a play in tuo loife. I wonder phwere tho divil the mou cum from.' I paid no attention to him, of course, and went on with the game. Tho next tinio I made a bad play, and it wasuH very long, he again said, talking tohim elf, 'Bedad, uiver did I see a mon play the loikca of that ' I began to bo an noyed, but still I said uothing, although a man never likes to hear it said that he plays a game badly, but the man was talking to himself and meant no harm. However, when ho broko out tho third tinio I could contain myself no longer. I turned around and said, "Look here, my friend, aro you playing f hes o cards, or am I?' The Irishman looked at me for a moment, and then said, 'Nayther uv us, your honor, savin your prisince, nor." "I joinctWhe rest of them in the laugh, and said, 'Well, boys, order ur; that puts 'em on me."' Cincinnati Tribune. Another Bis; Excursion Coming. The Merry Men's minstrels are planning a big excursion to Rock Isl and, to go Thursday, Aug. 1. There has not been anything of this sort all summer and one thould draw well, but especially one to Rock Island. There are so many points of interest and all so close together that a per son always finds something new. The arsenal is attractive. Black Hawk Tower is a beautiful place, and a ride on the Hennepin canal or the river is alwavs a noveltr to bo ap- Creciatcd. Besides all this, the city all team has made a date with Mo- line and will pTay a game during the afternoon. The Marine band will ac company the party and will furnish all the music that is desired. A vey low rate has been secured, and tl.e excursion will be a cheap and pojn--lar one. Monmouth Review. COUNT HUII.DINU. Transfers. July 18 George R. Svdnor to D. I). Daxon, lot 14. block 3.
