1t is estimated that there are 1000
drinking places in the city of Chicago,
and the rush for licenses to run nine
months, before the new high license
law goes into effect, shows that the es-
innate is not far out Of the way. There
were 1900 licenses issued in two days;
on the third day 5000 had been issued
and it is thought 1000 more will be
issued before the business is wound
up. Putting the population Of the
city at $4,000, this would give one
licensed saloon for every 1873 persons.
AS all these establishments manage Ia
make living, it will be seen that
there is an enormous amount of drink.

A Claim Of The southern Pacific.
Special TO Commercial Gazette.

special 70 COmmerclal daEette.
WASHINGTON, j une25.-The South
ern Pacific officials have recently been
active here, in the hope that they can
secure decision in the matter OF the
claim of that road to the land grant of
the Texas Pacific before Congress
meets. Their plan seems to be to
induce Secretary Teller to refer the
matter to the Attorney General, For
reasons best known to themselves,
they appear to be of the opinion that
they could get favorable decision
from him. There is pretty good rea>
son to think, however, that Secretary
Teller has no intention of asking the
Attorney General for an opinion. He
is as good a lawyer as the Attorney
General; has examined the case, and
is understood not to need any advice
about it. While Mr.. Teller has NOT
publicly stated what his views are, he
is not disposed to favor the Southern
Pacifc's claim.

F. CAMPBELL & CO., Props,
Praying By MACHINERY.

The Rev. John Gilmour, an English
missionary to India, has just returned
to London and relates some interest
ing facts about the Buddhist praying
machines. Printed papers are put
into wheel and the person who wishes
to pray them simply has to turn a
handle attached to the wheel and the
prayers are considered duly offered.
The Mongols have patent family pray-
ing machines; and ofteDtimes the aged
grandmother, who is unfit for any
other work, is set to grinding out the
prayers for the whole family. But a
better device than even this is now
commonly adopted. The praying
machine, filled with the requisite
prayers, is connected with a wind
mill, which turns them out safely
and expeditiously, thus saving all hand
labor. Clock work has also been re-
Gently utilized to drive a cylinder
filed with prayers covering all possible
human needs. These facts show that
the dreamy Oriental has in his nature
a larger strain Of the practical than
he is generally credited with. The
Baptist Weekly ironically says: IF
such machinery could be made effec-
tive, it might be in great demand in
this country. The much maligned
mother in-law might serve households
where family prayer is often omitted.
1t would be especially useful in sus.
tanning prayer meetings through the
warm season, where there are many
members who like to be at ease and
not in Zion, when the thermometer
ranges high. For churches taking a
vacation for two or three months
such an institution would render in.
