COMPETITION OPEN TO ALL CITIZENS Kffort to He Made to Mako the Movement a l'opular One. At the meeting of the Home Im provement associat ion, which was ncld yesterday afternoon at the home f Mrs. Juila Rosenfielil, the first def inite plans for the encouragement of improving private grounds about the city were outlined. It was decided to give a series of prizes, open to all who choose to compete, for the best re sults attained along several different lines in promoting the exterior at tractiveness of homes. There will be a first aii'l second prize in each case, the nature of which is to be decided upon at a later meeting. The awanl will be made on each of the follow ing: l!est vine-covered fence. ltcst porch garden. ISest lawn, including boulevard. I'est win low box. IJest display of Hrch ines. I!et llower-concealed alley fence. I Jest iiio-covercd shed. ISest ine-covered alley fence. l!est flower ornamented boulevard. licsf bed geraniums. 15est general flower beds. I'ot lied of foliage plants. Hest display of canuas. l'.est kept back yard. The matter of improvement of school grounds was discussed and the secretary. Hon. William Jackson, was directed to confer with Stipt. llaydeu with a view- of si'cnring the coopera tion on the part of the principals of the different schools. It was pointed out that conditions surrounding most of the school buildings are capable of improvement and the pupils should be enlisted in the work. Fee 'hirjrMl. The tines of the association will be f 1 for adults and ." cents for children and the amount will be returned to the members in seeds and bulbs. The fee was made very light in tinier that there might be no barrier to securing a large membership, thereby making the movement popular. Seeds will be bought in large tpiantities and the members will have the benefit of the reduction secured and arrangements will probably be made with local flor ists for the furnishing of roots and bulbs where thev are desired. ' The movement for the improvement of I.ongiiew park as suggested in The Argus last week seems ttt be meeting with favor, and already there have lecn offers of private aid to the enter prise, provided the city will start it off with a moderate appropriation. Favorable action on the part of the council at this time would probably serve to crvslalize the movement in this direction. Working Orertlrne.

Fisk, principal of the Academy of Northwestern Uni versity, who asked the boys under him to quit smoking cigarettes or leave the school, has received assur ances from a number of students that they would give up the use of tobacco. None of the boys has left the school because of the principal's talk. The reasons which led him to ad dress the students so severely Dr. Fisk set forth in the following state ment: "Whatever may be thought of the use of tobacco by grown men there can be no 'division of opinion among educators as to the injurious effects, both physical and mental, when tobacco is used by hoys or by young- men who have not yet reached maturity. In many cases it produces serious weakness of the heart. On this account it is prohibit ed to athletes while in training for competitive games. Not less dis tinctly marked are the effects of to bacco using upon scholarship than upon the physical endurance of stu dents. It is randy the case that a student who makes any use of tobac co attains to superior scholarship. A complete tabulation of the scholar ship and tobacco using habits of young men in the academy nt one time discovered that out of :t00 young men -'-J jcr cent of the whole number made more or less use of tobacco. Aiming the seventy-five having the highest standing only two were to bacco users, fir ':! per cent. Among the second quarter in scholarship there were eleven, fir II per cent. Aiming the thir l quarter fifteen, fir jht cent, while among the-lowest quarter there were forty-two. or j7 ier cent. Of all forms of tobacco us ing.' cigaret te,s are without question the most harmful.

RICH IS TRUE BLUE Terre Haute's First Baseman Will Not Play In St. Louis UNTIL HIS CLUB IS PAID $300 According to Agreement Other Notes of the Dia mond. William II. Richardson, the Terre Haute club's first baseman, has been ordered to report in St. Louis for spring practice with the St. Louis Na tional league clnb. Richardson signed with St. Louis last fall with the understanding that the Terre Haute club would be paid for his release, but this condition has not lieen fulfilled, and until it is he will remain loyal to the local club. President Rohison, of the St. Louis club, wrote Richardson that the Terre Haute club could not hold him and advised him 1o jump. Kichnrdson. however, did not accept the advice ami wrote back to KobisoiT that he would have to pay the Terre Haute club $300 for his services. Gunning for .lone. Davy Jones, the Hock ford player who jumped his contract with the Chicago .National league club and signed with the St. Louis team if the American legue, is likely to be sorry for his act it m, says President .lames A. Hart. It is Mr. Hart's intention to make an example of the player and yesterday the head of the Chicago club said he will have .limes placed in jail if such a thing is possible. "I am going to make an example of this player," Mr. Hart said yesterday. This contract-jumping has got to stop as far as I am concerned, .lump ing a contract is not the worst 1hing which Jones did, however, his fit her dealings with me forming the bus's f-f a strong suit. It is my intention to put the young man in jail if 1 can. and if this cannot be done some sort of punishment will be meted out to him. Here is the contract which Jones signed," continued Mr. lla't. producing a legal-looking document from his desk, "and here." he added meditatively. "is something else which he did not sign and which he gave me to understand he did sign. Well, I hac his name ttt the contract, anyway, and that is enough. "When he signed the contract I paid to him the .sum of .$100, that being the amount which he required " for advance money. That money has not been returned to me. .bines wrote a letter some time after having signed the contract and told me in a sort of cold-blooded manner that this was the ball players' year and that he was going to take advantage if every thing he could get. He also said that, it. was his intcnlion of paying back the $100. That was not the thing for him to do. He has money which he knows does not belong to him and which he secured by asserting in writing fiver his own signature that he was going to perform some duty for the Chicago club, which he has not performed and which he says he will not perform." llailall Hrlef. The Terre Haute team will get to gether early. It will report April 1. April 5 and 0 it will play Rill Krcig's Chattanooga team and has later dates with the Nashville team. Melntyre. who pitched for Dan ville in 1000. has an offer from the New York National league team, but will probably remain with Toledo, where he made a great record last year us pitcher and batter. The signing of Pfeffcr makes a quartette of old time .stars of the game as 'managers- of the Three-1 Nicol, Hill, Donnelly and Pfeffcr. Jesse Hale, outfielder of the Cellar Rapids club last summer, has small pox and it is reported may die. The announcement that has Ik-cii made to the effect that children will be admitted to. the league base ball games in this eity during the coining season for the small admission fee of ten cents, has already started the youngsters to saving their dimes. It will now be almost as chenp for them to pay like a man and walk in at the front gate as to tear their clothes in climbing over the fence ami get a licking to boot when they get honv after the game.

Atlanta Constitution. TaJes of Th.ea.tre. One peculiarity about the New York Casino productions is that they must be equipped with excellent people to make them go. Cheap, ordinary ac tors will not answer the purpose. This has lieen exemplified so often, so that it has come to be known that the mere announcement of the com ing of tine of these famous produc tions means that the public is to see tine of the most efficient organiza tions in the country. "The Telephone (iirl," that celebrated musical come dy, which is announced for Saturday afternoon and evening at the Illinois, is no exception to the rule. Willi cheap people it would not be a suc cess. With people of the most ex pensive grade, it has proved ami is proving a howling triumph. The role of Hans Nix, the impossible but ab sorbingly comical (ierman inspector,! is in the hands of Dave Iewis, fine of i the best comedians on the American tage. The Heauty Fairfax is Marie Kichmond. whose comeliness alone has won her fame. Pearl Ilight is the Eslclle. the queen of the tele phone, as the song has it, and she has eceived the most flattering encomi ums from press and public. She has a winsome, magnetic personality an 1 beauty. Resides, she possesses that chic which is so essential, if not sb- "solutely indispensable, in the part. The nhiv founded fin the iioem sets forth the storv of "Ostler Joe." and deals 'with scene in Annie Smith's London career, vividlv pointing the moral. "It is better to live in a hovel of- virt ue 1 han a palace of infamy." 1 tie product urn contains not ning sug gestive, nothing vulgar. It is a ser mon set in dramatic magnificence at the Illinois theatre tomorrow even ing. I'nconvent ionality is the keynote of CIvde Fitch's work in "The Cow- Iniy and the. Inly." which S. Miller Kent will produce at the Illinois theatre Sunday. The cowboy in ques tion comes f roni the east, being a Harvard graduate. He dresses in the height of fashion, and is derided as a dude by the lady with whom lie falls in love, lteneath his polished appearance, however, is as brave and strong a nature as that of any typi cal man of the plains, as circum stances soon bring to light, and Ted dy 'North is greatly beloved by his rough friends. Another unconven tional idea is having the heroine a married woman. Her husband is weak and worthless, but the cowboy loes her strongly and silently. Eventually the husband gets killed while planning an clopment and the lovely wife is freed, but before the cowboy can claim her the shadow of suspicion falls on her and she is ac cused of murdering .her husband. The cowboy heroically assumes the guilt, and is finally acquitted and the real murderer is brought to light. The trial scene in a typical western court, affords Mr. Kent unusual op portunities for strong acting and he makes the most of them. "TheStarbucks," which enjoyed such a long and successful run at the Dear born theatre. Chicago, this season is the latest work of Opie Read, novel ist antl dramatist. The scene of the play is an obscure spot in the moun tains of Tennessee where the Starbuck family lives. Mix Read has a thor ough acquaintance with his people and places, and presents an "atmos phere" play, although not deHnding fin character study alone for effect. However, the rugged Jascr Stnrbuck and his family, the negro servants and the simple minded jieople" of the neighborhofMl add a charm of their own. "The Starbucks" is 1mm iked for the Illinois this evening. Chambcrlin, Kindt Co. are now giving to Rock Island a line of at tractions equal to thoc enjoyed by any community jn the country the size of this. The people here are not slow to appreciate the efforts to pro vide them gofsl entertainment, and the management will find the patron age increasing as that confidence that should exist between the public and the manager of a theatre becomes firmer. Since Chamberlin, Kindt & Co. took the Illinois it is but justice to them to say the standard of the attractions visiting the house has lieen on the improve. Subscribe for The Argus.
