THE CITIZENS LEAGUE
The first of proposed series Of entertain
ments, under the auspices of the Citizens
League, with view to providing amusement for
men and boys who have been induced to abandon
the saloons, was given at tho Good Templurs
Hall, No l59 Twenty second street, last evening.
There were over 10O people present. The pro-
gram was made up Of recitation by PROT: nu-
dolph; solos by Frank Lumbarl, who has re-
formed; songs BY the Lumbard Glee Club; und
an explanatory address BY Emery 4. Storrs.
After rcmarSing that it afforded him the su,;
there [applAuse], Mr.. Storrs snid that
Funk and his choir would do not only the
greatest service to himself, but very great
service to the community. He congratulated
the League upon the success of its undertaking.
The scheme Of weekly entertainments had long
been III contemplation, and the ouly objection
to it was that it had not been started earlier.
He did not believe that the natural man or boy
preferred the society md surroundings Of the
Icrtainnlent~ Speeches aud tracts were not
eticacious to the fullest extent in bringing into
better places and better associations the yonth
of the city. There were thousands OF men And
boys who had no scientific or literary tastes,
and who would not 60 to libraries: :ai They @
SoGd DC T an
Of this character in various parts OF tho city
every Saturday night He next nuverted to the
sared more men and women, reduced crime
more, lcssened taxation, and increased the Sc
curity OF property to u greater extent than I'LL
the political and quasi-political clubs put to-
gether.
The entertainment was great success, and
the officers of the League we're pleased ut the
PORK AND LAIRD.
The Directors of the Board OF Trade have
agreed upon an amendment to or change III the
rules in rcgnrd to the delivery Of pork and lnrd,
Monduy. and stAte the time when the matter
will be submitted to that body for its vote on the
question Of adopting it.
The point Of the change consists in making
only those receipts for these commodities regu-
stored in warehouses where they aro protected
years for packers to roll their product out on
the prairie, leave it there month after month
through snow, rain, and mud, summer and win
receipts and the goods are delivered he is
charged eight cents per barrel on the pork and
u cents per tesce On the rd per mGnth @ IT. IN n each
rcls now ''stored" in this way on the prairie.
The casks certainly are injured. and it is claimed
occurs, while the goods are rendered less
merchantable in appearance. No such practice
exists i'll Cincinnati. and their products of this
class have always hAd some advantage over Chi
casgo pork as q result 1t is understood that
pruper storage can be bad in abundance at the
prices charged for this all-out-of-doors business
1t is likely the proposed charge will meet with
fuvor, though Fuckers who have been receiving
large rents for their vacant out-lots by these
charges will probably object.

TIE OLDEST 1SIIABITANT.
One sees occasional reference to that mythical |
parsonage, the Oldest inhabitant," but it Is not |
often that one can positively point the finger to
the lnAn or woman who can claim that honor
Friday evening lust Mr.. Willis Scott, living at I99
West Washington street, celebrated his 10th !
birthday by giving q reception TO his friends
Mr.. Scott is the oldest settler now living in the
city, with the exception Of Col. Gurdou s Hub
bard, he having settled in Chicago in 1876, when
there were only five white families Fifty years
ago next November, he married Miss Louisa Col
well, cousin Of Archibald Cy bourn. The ccrc-
nOny was performed by the Rev. William
Lee, father-in-law Of James II: Knzie,
at the residence of Samuel Miller,
who kept a. small hotel located at
what IS now the junction Of the North and South
Branches Of the Chicago River. 1t was then
called VOLTS Point The labor it required to
get married in those days would be likely to |
make man think twice before he set about it,
for Peorn was the nearest place where a license
could be procured, and the journey, which took
several days, had to be made on horseback Mr.
Scott had several children by this lady mem
tioned, all Of whom. with herself, are since
lead. His present wife is tho daughter Of the
late Perls Bnrney, an old settler OF Du Page |
County, Illinois. By her he has one daughter, !
now the wife Of Arthur Waddington. Mr.. Scott
received many friendly letters Of congratulation
from old citizens who live in the city and ad-
Joining places, who were not able to be present,
while others ayailed themselves Of the oppor-
[unify to o9er them In person. Among the lat |
ter were the Hon John Wentworth, 3r. and
