The Moat Digestible Tart of ft Clam Is Its Shell Home Dosce for Ailing Hus bands. '"'( Copyright by Edgar W. Nye.1 The following correspondence received daring the past week is hereby answered in a brief bat stiocinct manner: '" Mrs. R. Hyphen Skinner-McPhelim, of the Windymear flats, New York, con templates spending the summer on States . - I ATE THE WATERMELON. Inland, and asks to know if the inland has a society for the prevention of cru elty to animals. It has, Mrs. Skinner-McPhelim, it has. It is one of the most pungent and vocif erous societies for the prevention of good that we have, according to reports. Agents of the organization make it very hot for people who own animals, if I am torrectly informed in the matter, and I advise you, if you hope to spend the heated term on Staten Island, to leave your carriage horses and other heir looms at the flat, where they will not be disturbed. Owners here have been stopped on the street, arrested and fined, in fact, for not shoeing their horses, while as a matter of fact they were too poor to even shoe their children. Mis guided philanthropy is as injurious to the public welfare as the live rat caught, kerosenea ana ignitea by a farmer in northern Vermont last season. He drove away all the other rats, also the farmer and his family, by burning down the whole ranch. In his nice warm little room at the poorhouse this summer the farmer says to his wife as he inserts an other little titbit of mush and molasses among his whiskers, "The overzealous and ill guided ass is sometimes as dan gerous to tnaraavl as the level headed rogue." The Society FTfe Prevention of Cruelty to AnimiM arrested a widow woman on the highway for tying to gether the hind limbs of a female hog, or swinette, which was being transport ed from one point to another. Those who have handled hogs know that it is absolutely necessary to tie their legs if they are conveyed by wagon, or they will jump out. The society removed the cords, whereupon the hogine leapt out of the wagon and broke her leg. Pre vention people not only sometimes do not frequently know how to handle hogs, but also they do not know how to prevent cruelty. I could name some more of the instances reported, but these will suffice to show you that the society is flourishing, several of the agents do ing a very thrifty business who have al ways failed at everything else in life. The following note comes from a Tro jan who has suffered otherwise: Troy, July 10, 189a Mr. Bnx Nye: Kindly give us your experiences, at and opinion of a clam bake, one of the most ridiculous Institutions of toe United States. Very respectfully. One Who Was Thoroughly Disocbted at On or Them. Clam bakes are not always unsuccess ful. Even if they are unsuccessful from your own point of view they might not be from the standpoint of the man who prepares them. I was one of a small party of plain American citizens who bought out a clam kiln and colic works last season at Long Branch. I had been accustomed to life among the lowly in years past, having been born of poor but extremely brainy parents. I had also lived in the wild and woolly west, where clams and other specimens of insect life are regarded with distrust. There you can buy, or could at the time I lived there, a hind i of elk for $1.50, hang It in your wood shed and feed a good sized family on it for a week. So I said to a friend or two: "Here is a natural product of the soil, the cheapest and commonest of God's impervious fauna, the low browed and weak minded clam. We will get . some one to bake tome for us, then we will eat a water melon and play that we are amenable to do law, but that we are free and unfet tered, and as careless of human life as a steam heating company or a young phy sician. We ordered no wine, but just clams and watermelon. Another party from New York also ordered a clam bake at the same time, so that the same kiln dried all the clams. In baking clams you heat a lot of stones in a hot fire, throw them in a hole along with your clams, green corn, ground feed, etc., etc. You then cover up the mass, and go away fishing or pitching horse shoes till you smell something. That is the clams. You then borrow a six-tine pitchfork, such as is used by our best livery stable people, and fork out your clams and green corn, serving hot Guests will wait on themselves. After the clams are served you load a large , shotgun with hot fence nails and collect the bilL I ate the left lobe of three underdone Waterbury clunis, an ear of hot seed corn and a slice of soured and pessimistic watermelon. My bill was $23 that is exclusive of nurses and medical attend ance. I do not care for clams, anyway. I cannot come up with a clam. I some times feel that I would like to, but I can not. Neither can my boots. I was quite ill after I ate these clams, having thrown away the most digestible part, viz., the shell, and foolishly eaten the clam. On the steamer coming home many people who had been greatly dis appointed all day in the matter of enjoy ment came up on deck, watched my gyra tions a few moments, and went home peaceful and contented. At the wharf, some of those who had been down to Manhattan Beach to see Pain's "Siege of Vera Cruz," and were bitterly disap pointed, came to where I was gnawing an old anchor and moaning with an in ward pain, and after seeing me suffering went home stating that they had more than got their money back. The New England clam bake costs less money, but is almost equally fatal to me. If you hear of my eating another clam bake you can safely say to yourself that when I did it I was under the . influence of liquor. Some siren with bleached hair and merry ogling eye may meet me on thejbeachand drug me, and feed me a atsar. -odji- -war tsjr clam while singing .to me some sweet, j tad song, but she will have to be better looking than the average fish ball siren of story. " Mrs. Erstwhile Timberlake. of Pon gee, Neb., asks: "What .shall I do to re gain my influence over my husband? He gave me his nana in marriage two years ago come next frost, and if ever a man teemed to just doat on any one he doated on me. That s about all be did all that winter in fact, and our victuals got pret ty low by spring. Then I spoke harshly to him, and he started for hell via the Little Pansy Blossom saloon on Prunella street. I have tried every way to win him back, such aa he is, and have went out f my way to make friends write him more than onct. Will yon not come to my succor?" : If you Cannot bring him here of course. Mrs. Timberlake, I will have to come to your sucker and speak of him plainly as between man and man. I hope that you kave treated him well on the start and given him a fair show. I will take it for granted that you have. - If so, now we must resort to more turgid means. I will not tell you, however, what to do. I will only tell yon what I knew to be done once in a similar cose, and you can think it over, Mrs. Timberlake, and feel perfectly free to help yourself to it if it should strike you favorably: . Mrs. Delay Oleson, of Norridgewock, Me., had a husband whom she dearly loved, for he was a fine, manly looking fellow, standing eighteen hands high, and young, too. He fell a victim to prohibi tion in Maine and became a hard drink er. He had never cared to drink till he found that it was against tho law, and so then he couldn't somehow get it out of his mind. Prohibition seemed to con stantly remind him that he could not take a drink. So he fell. It occurred at Norridgewock, and could have been distinctly heard for a mile or more. Hi wife wept a great deal at first, but was not . unkind to him. She spoke to him gently and lovingly, and he promised to do better, but he was weak, and the pro hibition law kind of gravelled him, as one writer has it. So he fell some more. Mrs. Oleson was a good, sensible little woman, who would not Bit calmly on the front stoop and let defeat follow upon tne Heels or disaster without mating a struggle. She told Delay that she would try him once more, and if ho failed her she would surely not overlook it as she had before. For a long time he turned his back on the devil's elixir and worked steadily at his trade, which was painting, graining and kalsomining, also breaking colts, gents" J fine neckwear and justice of the peace. Later on, however, he fell once more, and came home in a spiral manner, smelling of prohibition whisky, which is also used for etching on glass. She said nothing to him. bat undressed him and put him to bed as usual. This is a pleas ing ta.sk. She laid him on the couch, and then gathering up the edges of the two home made linen sheets she sewed up Delay Oleson therein by means of a Btout ball of twine and an upholsterer's needle. He asked for more air, but she said what o needed was not bo much air as it was a littlo course or massage treatment, bo she got a new whip from the bam, such as is used by Mr. Legree in beating ont the brains of Uncle Tom in that truly good play, and she knocked the dust out of Delay Oleson till you could hear her all over that block. He spoke to her about not doing it any more, but she said she could not yield to outside influence. She must be her own Judge regarding the best time to stop. So she ate a little bread and butter, put a new snapper on the whip and went at COMING HOME FKOM THK CLAM BAKE. it again. People passing the house dur ing the night heard Delay sobbing anon, and between his sobs they could hear the whip crack around his various cornices and fretwork. Finally the weary wife let him out, and fixing a bed for him on the floor she turned ont the cat and went to lied. She never had to do so again. Delay after that was another man. He removed to Kentucky, where he would not have the same temptations that were afforded him in Maine, and be came the father of nine children, all of whom were born with what resembled a large welt across the person. I do not say to yon, Mrs. Timberlake. to do this way with Erstwhile, for it is a severe method, and he might not be drunk enough so that you could sew him up, and he might possibly reverse the programme, but I tell you of this case so you can't say I ignore your wail. A Card to tne Public. Our attention has been called to the circulation of rumors on the street, charg ing us with combining with dealers in a certain line of goods to keep out compe iiuon by refusing to rent our stores on second avenue to any one wanting to en gage in their line of business. We pubs llcly deny the charge, it being false in every particular. We also deny tbe charge that any party or parties are now or nave been paying us rent to keep our stores closed. . The change of grade and paving of Second avenue made it neces sary for us to remodel the old Dart a hall building. Tbe second floor Is a very large, fine room, suitable for lodge or as sembly purposes. Tbe stores on the first floor show for themselves. We offer the whole building or any. part of it, to any one wanting to rent for any reputable business, and will try to meet his views as to rental, fixtures, etc. We have as much interest as any concern can possi bly have in the growth and prosperity of the city and most certainly would not do anything detrimental to our interests and those of tbe city of Rock Island. Very respectfully,' Henry Darts' Sons.

The cenclndinc Mai e of Lete la HOalh Park Heattlta la the Disposition of ftaHrea Mere', the Atrregate In come beKM.7V:'.r--T';;;n :.''.-,-The conclusion of the auction sale of lots ia South Park . occurred Saturday evening, commencini; at 6. o'clock and being conducted bj Auctioneer H. C. Harris. Much interest and activity in bidding was manifes ed, and prices gen erally ranged higher than in the previous sale. Tbs auction on the whole was a success, fourteen lots being disposed of Satnrdsy night, wbkh ran from f 80 to $120 each, aDd aggregating $1,320, mak ing the total income from the sale, forty one lots in all, $3,720. The record ot Saturday evening's transfers is appended: To T. J. Medill. Jr. -Lots 18. 20.block 2. at (95 each; and 17, 19. block 4, $30 each. To W. A.

To Charles Wulff Lots 1, 3, block 3. $110 each. The lots were all purchased with a view to building, and the novel plan tbus adopted by the South Park syndicate has proven advantageous not only to the syndicate, but to those who have in vested. Ieath' Blessed Helen-. Mrs. Adam Alday, the crippled, de mented Moline worann. about whom so much has been writlt n and said in con nrction with her husband's ill treatment and abu9t, is f ee at last from earthly tortures and persecutions. She is dead. It will be remembered that after she bad spent some time at the Rock Island coun ty poor farm, and had , been released through friends who were caring for her, her husband kid napped her a few months ago and took her away from Mo line. L. S. O'Ne II had been ap pointed by the court t er conservator, and was having Mrs. Aldt y boarded in West Moline, when Alday drove up to the door in a carriage, carried tbe woman out on some pretense, placed her in the convey ance and drove away. That was the last seen of ber. Tbe erurt ordered his ar rest for contempt. An indictment is now banging over bim, but he has never been found. It was presumed that he went to Minnesota. Tbe fc (lowing from the Jackson Republic, of Jackson, Minn .will be read with interest: "The wife of Adam Alday died Saturday, Aug. 2. and was bnried in LakefleM cemetery on Men day morning. Mrs Alday had been mentally deranged for over twenty vears-" Xot a Ha Idea. Tbe Moline Republictn Is advancing tbe Idea of tbe city of Moline establishing an artesian well from which the city will get its water supply for domestic use. Tbe Republican holds: That an artesian wel. 8 ioch bore could be sunk near the water works stratum be low tbe Pottsdam sandstone, at a depth of 1,035 feet. This would cost about $3,0(10. and it is estimated would supply 40 barrels of water a minute. This would be largely in excess of tbe amount used during the past month, when we had the greatest consumption of water since the waterworks ! was tstablished and by turning it into the set ling basin at tbe water works it would supply all water needed for domestic pt rposes and enable tbe engineer to shut oil tbe water supplt from tbe river except liossihlv in time of a fire. On such occasions the value con necting with tbe river could be opened to give an adequate sup ply, and any sedi ment deposited in tbe pipes during sucb times could be washei out by flushing tbe mains after the fire was extinguished. Tne Greatest Good to the Greatest Numbir It has been acknowlei that thoughtful men and women derive great benefit from the practical experience of others. This is certainly true as people of nice tastes battling with a limited income must pos sess a strong vein of practical common sense, which, in cases of emergency predominates, and insmes a conservatism of action in providing for those of tbeir own household. It is ia such homes, and among this class of people, we discover that which results in "the greatest good to the greatest number,' viz : Dr. Humphrey's Manual and Fami ly Specifics.! 'There being no large bank account with' which to liquidate a doctor's long bill of winter's attendance, the mother and housekeeper feels it Incumbent upon her to become in a measure and bundre Is of times wiih tbe most marvelous success not - only her own physician, but tbe able adviser of her afflicted oeighbors. She notes tbe symptoms of croup, worm fiver or measles in ber children, the hollow cough, bronchitis or incipient consumption in tbe husband and friend, and consulting her manual, administers the prescribed specifics with remarkable and gratifying success- No wonder tbe unvarying tes timony in favor of Humphreys' Specifics is, that they are simple, mild and effica cious.
