Chicago philanthrophists are az.
itating a scheme to establish an insti'
tute where the youth of both sex car
be taught agricultural, mechanical
artistic, professional, and other useful
pursuits. They argue that the United

The Calamut Club Of Chicago is an
eminent organization. No person can
be & member unless he was a resident
Of the city in 1910, and was then
twenty-five years of age. At the
banquet the other evening there were
125 guests, and all we're over sixty
years of age. MI. Medore Beaublen
was the oldest Chicagoan present,
being on the territory in 1913, at the
age of four years, at which time the
Indian roamed at will and no settler
ever dreamed that in sixty nine years
a magnificent city like Chicago would
rise on the ruins of the trappeT s
camp. Only sixty-nine years. And
what wonderful things have developed
in that time. Railroads, iron ships,
the telegraph and the telephone, the
steam printing press, tunnels under
vast rivers, tunnels through long
stretches of rocky mountains,
and other wonderful things
that have crowned the nineteenth
century with imperishable glory. The

who, with his escort, in 1872, was
murdered when Fort Dearborn was
abandoned.

Death has recently calledaway from
the bosom of a loving family and
esteeming friends one of Chicago's
noblest women, Mrs. Elizabeth, wife
Of Andrew Henneberry, in the sixty
first year of her age. She had been
attending the funeral Of a little child
of a friend, when she was stricken
with pneumonia, and died in a few
days, leaving in deepest sorrow a low
ing husband, one daughter and two
sons to weep over her loss and a host
Of friends to whom her charitable
presence was happy sunshine when
ever troubles dark clouds hung
threateningly over them. She
was a devout Catholic Christian,
a stanch friend in need, aud a lady
whose heart overfowed with sorrow
for the oppressed, whom she always
befriended to the full extent Of her
means. If ever the gates of heaven
we're gladly opened to a good soul,
they we're when her spirit was waited
to the glorious throne of the Almighty
Judge.
