CHICAGO, Match =, is6o.
For q long time the matinees at ouf
various theaters have been extraOrifs
harily popular for ladies and children.
The attention Of the public generally
is now being drawn 20 the Wbolesal6
admission 0f improper characters %
these performances. so kl8fifiv has
this outrage become that. fespeCtabls
women are learning to absent them
selves entirely. 1t Is fearful 70 con-
template the dangers which beset the
paths Of the young ID this city, and iri
no public place are they more IA dan
gegthan at afternoon matinees. u
AS have had my say In references
to the women Of tender age, I viii
give your readers some information iFb
reference to the young men and bach
elOrs. This city is teeiitiig with tn-
married Inen Of all ages, from IS TO so.
and L propose to give you an idea az
how they live. MANY live III board
ing houses, but this is a miserable life,
so the popular plan to rent rooms 10,
large business blocks, furnish them,
hire eOlOred gentleman TO superin-
tend the househOld affairs, and board
at hotel, restaurant or where fancy
dictates. The danger Ofthis life Is the
inclination TO Keep late hours, seek
improper evening entertain ments and
become bOOrish in manners. The only
remedy ] can see is uRtrimOnF,
One of the n16st interesting pieces Of
information have had the fortune To
hear for some time, was the assurance
that we are soon to have an immense
free library. j am not sufficiently
well posted to give definite infOEma-
tiOn, but that it will come Is eert6ih,
and that the time is near Is equally
certain.
The wicked and immoral aspects Of
this city are so extensively hbfalded
that sUnietimes fear you viii think
there is nothing else to speak Of ]
viii take one example Of another kind
of work being done. There is o Sun
day School CONNECTED with one Of our
churches which presents a sight worth
seeings The school numbers over one
thousand, and there were nearly nine
huRdred present yesterday. T.. .,..
One Of the brightest stars ID the
ministerial staff bf this city has taken
his departure; we refer to the Rev.
DIR. Eddy, formerly ieditOr-in-chief Of
the NOrthlUeStcT7a C1lristdfb .HCIUOcdie..
The Doctor has been appointed t6 8
church in Baltimore, and leaves here
amid the profound regrets OF host of
friends.
AS the Sabbath is over and we are
thrust forward to the business days OF
the week, I feel it necessary 70 keep
pace with the march Oftime: A lot 0f
our medical students tahie to grief 8
few days ago, when taking the pro-
duets of q body snatchiflg. expedition.
The police came upBfi them iust as
they had taken one body from q caFs
riage, and were about to take the 9TH
er. The query naturally presents
itself-What is to be d1ne for subiectS
/ IL 1T is a crime to pursue the plan of
/ snatching? Why is there not some
provision made for this all impOftant
! Study, .,..l.
As the first pulsatiOns Of the spring
trade are beginning to be-felt, It viii
not be considered improper for me To-
! convey some idea Of its prOpOrtionS.
/ III dpihg this there is no Setter meth
cd thai to describe the principal es-
| tablishment where IL is done. On the
Northeast corner Of State and WSsh-
ingtOn streets stands the mOnimoti
| dry goods house Of Field, Letter q Co.
The ground floor is devoted to the. re-.
tail trade, which far outstrips that OF
any other house outside Of New York!
The five upper floors constitute the
wholesale department.. Tons upon
tons of goods are here open for inspec-
stiOn and purchase by the hosts Of deal
ers from every corner Of the North
west, who literally swdrfii III the es-
/ tablishment. SOnis idea may. be
formed of the trade Of Chicago when
lit is known that this house alone sold
over $12, ,OOO, 600 last year. Rabfdftt
and perfection constitute the rule Of
this colossal business, and the propor-
tiOns it has assumed attest the ability
of its prOpfietOTs.
