A very interesting and well attend ed meeting 01 the in-City Section, national council of Jeish Woman, was held yesterday afternoon in the standard club room, ia Krell & Math block. Nearly every prominent Jewish family of Rock Island, Davenport ana nionne in represented in the jocai section 01 the organization. which is working much good among tne Jewish classes. The otneers of the Tri-City Section are: Mra. L. Simon, Rock Island, president, Mrs. Sol Hirsch, Moline. vice-president: Mrs. Joe Froehlich, Davenport, secre tary, ana Miss Julia Levi, Rock Island, treasurer. The board of trustees is composed of: Mrs. L. Simon, Mrs. SjI. Hirsch, Mrs Joe Froehlich. Mr;. B. Raphael. Mrs. Julia Levi, and Miss Carrie Rosen huld. Committee on religion, Mrs. B. Raphael, Mrs. J. Fleishman, Mrs. L. Rothschild; committee on phil- anthrophy. Miss Carrie hosen field. Mrs. M. Levy, Mrs. A. Mosenfelder; sabbath school committee, Mrs. Joe Froehlich, Mrs. J. Fleishman, Miss Vivan Flexner. The aim of the National Council ox rfewisn women ia to encourage among us memoers a deeper study 01 me 01 Die, tneir religion ana his toiy and literature. At yesterday's meeting a report of tne summer wort was made by Mrs. Simon; a paper on "Causes of Poverty" was read by Mrs. M. C Rice, and an address was made by Mrs. John P. Van Patten, of Daven port, to whom a vote of thanka was extended at the conclusion of the meeting. The meeting was also treated to a very well rendered flute soio oy Alfred bimon. who was ac companicd on the piano by his mother, Mrs. L. Simon. Work af the Summer. In her report Mrs. Simon said: "In reviewing the summer work of the section I feel conscious that we have not accomplished all that was ex pected of us. However.- a splendid winter a program, combined with an increase in membership, angurs well lor tne success of the organization. The study circle, which meets twice a mon;h, has adopted the Chautauqua literary ana scientific coarse, under the direction of Rev. Mr. Thorner. The demand for active charity from the council has not been so great, owing to the existence for many vears of the Deborah Benevolent societv. However, the study of philanthrophy has not been neglected. Our theories put into practice resulted in the. es tablishment of a sewing class, where the children of the poor and others had no such opportunity before. Here young girls, most of whom did not know how to thread a needle, or adjust a thimble, were taught to sew. ana me garments given to tba sew ers. The possibilities of the future for such a school are great. The class began with nine little girls June last, and now it has 20. And we are now able tu report the formation of three Sunday school classes. The generosity ot the Ferry compsny in permitting the children ot the mis sion classes free rides tj Davenport is greatly appreciated. Again, I repeat, we do not claim that we have done much: only awak ened to the realization that we must begin to do. If the conncil. beside stimulating into life a movement for promoting the knowledge of Jewhh history and literature, shall better the condition of the unfortunate in any degree, every member should as sume an indiridaal responsibility of helping to better the condition of these children; and through the chil dren can we hope to reach the parents. We consider we have a root planted firmly in the soil of honest endeavor and warmed by the fervor of deep conviction that no bnnd is greater, truer or more full of prom ise ior numanity than that oi Juda ism."

The Rock Island Bakers associa tion, comprising tba local bakers. was organised in the parlors of the Rock Island house Saturday Bight with the election of the following officers: : " President F. J. Staassen. Secretary and Treasurer Ed Da Rue. The object of the association is to inaugurate a uniform graded scale for the sale of bread. The bakers claim that the advance in flour makes it imperative that a corre sponding advance bs made in the price of bread, and hence hereafter bread will sell at 5 cents a loaf straight, instead of three loaves for a dime, as has been the custom. BLAIR AND HIS BRIDGE. Crreceat Projector end Hmon That Are The Davenport Democrat says that F. P. Blair, ot the descent bridge has gone east on a mission whuh is expected to be fraught with import, auce to that city and the bridge pro. ject. The delay in the receipt of stone has caased a partial suspension of work, but preparatory wbrk for the next pier has been taken up, so that too much time shall not be lost. The Democrat says further: "The opinion seems to be current, to some extent, that the Crescent people are angling for the C, B. & Q. road. At any rate it is said that some Daven. port business men who are interested in the company, and who handle quite large volumes of goods in the course of the year, have for some time been throwing all their ship ments in here to the C B. & Q, and as many of their outward bound shipments as possible. 7 his, it is supposed, is being done by way ot demonstrating to the C , B. as Q. management that there is big busi ness here for it.,if it will only enter this city outright by way of the new bridge. But of course there is al ways a great amount of gossip about such an enterprise as this. and some of it is mere talk,- and wide of the mark." Tba OMtaary Hear a.

The article i forwarded by Ather ton show that be means business The original challenge, it will be re membered, was made by the Cabas through Thb Akocs, and Burns' backers here gave expression to their willingness to accept. Little is known here about Atherton. although Burns' friends claim they know him to be a good man. The correspond ence which has come to Thb Akocs so far evinces a spirit of good faith, but you cannot alwaya tell about these latter day sporting events. It must be said, however. that such matches as Burns has ap peared in in Rock Island have been bona fide and upon their merits.

The work is the construction of the new dam and penstocks for the relocation of tbe point at which the Moline Water Power company is to develop its power. Moline needs room for more shops. warehoutea, railroad tracks, etc. 4i?he also wishes to develop her water power so that it shall be as great ss possib'e. Under the old order of things the canal used msny arret of ground, and there was a good deal of waste of the power to the canal. Ihe new arrangement will make the power as grest as It ran be msde, and give acres of land, boiween the city and the power pool, which the Water Power company will be ab'e to dispose of to great advantage. This is ail being done by throwing a!l the water power into the form cf electrical energy, and by doing this at a point S.50O feet down stream from tbe present head cf the power canal wall.
