WHY PEOPLE GO TO CHURCH..
Some go to church to weep,
While others go to sleep.
Some go their wives to please
Their oonsclenoeothers try to ease.
some 90 to tell about their woes
Others go to show their clothes.
Some go to hear the preacher
Others like the solo soreecher.
Boys go TO reoonnoiter--
Girls 90 because they ough-ter.
Many go for sage reflection
But precious fow to help collections.

The Hon. Phocion Howard arrived in town via
the Hennypin canal route last evening. We see
no reason now why the great convention should
not commence doing business at one.
The rural editors seem to have just found out
that there Is to be national convention in Chi.
cago next week. They are beginning to write and
telegraph their Chicago acquaintance for rooms
The foresight of the average rural editor is fear
fully and wonderfully made.
AS we go to press this morning the political
situation is unchanged Around the hotels the
temperature continued to rise during the evening
and there was a steady flow of laudable pus till
the bar rooms closed at midnight. To q reporter
of the Daily NetOs the Hon. jeremiah w. Hooper
of Hooperville, Hoop county, New remarked last
evening that ]. g. Blaine would be unanimously
nominated by reclamation on the first informal
ballot.
"You are positive of this2" inquired our repor-
ter.
"There can be no doubt of it," replied Col
Hon. Jesse H. Timber, chairman Of the Arizona,
delegation, saying that Arizona issolld for Blaine,
and this, take It, settles the question"
At the Palmer house Judge Jabez 2. Dilworthy
was interviewed.
1--WE will nominate Arthur on the FIRST ballot"
said the Judge. ~ have Just seen man from
Iowa, who talked with Frank Hatton, ana he
| says So"
~ have scrutinized thesituaton pretty clos ely,
said Deacon Martin l.. Perkins, of Derrick
Corners, VI, land am free TO confess see no
doubt that Brother Edmunds will be nominated
by reclamation. / SNOW, l hope so-durned If
wouldn't tap barrel of cider for the boysl"
Prof. G. William Pillicoddy, Of New York, in
dorsed the opinion OF Deacon Perkins; he came
to Chicago, not as u delegate, but as the repre-
sentative Of the Universal Benevolent and Pro-
ective order forthe Dissemination Of Civil Service
Reform, and he was glad TO feel that Edmundss
nomination was assured.
At the fremont house the Hon. Israel p.
Landers, Of BudG Center ILL.,, was found with a
| plug OF tobacco in one hand aud colored photo
| graph of John A. Logan in the other
"As nearly as / can come at IT, said he ut will
be a dead. lock for long time, but on the 2S7Lh
ballot we calculate to nominate Logan with q

Jones says the 2S7th, and what Long Jones

Mr.. George Washington Blathers, editor of the

p. Whiting, president of the First National bank
Of Liokskillet Corners, Ohio, was equally conf
dent of the nomination Of John Sherman.
In vlew therefore, of the information at hand,

Mrs Hart,s entertainment.

Mrs. M. Stevens Hart, principal OF the Wash
ington School Of Elocutlon, invited number
OF the clergymen OF the city with their wives
and other friends to meet Chaplain McUabe and
wife, on Thursday evening last, and to witness
some OF the results Of her earnest work among
us during the past two years. Among those
present were Bishop Andrews, OF tho NJ. f.
Church; DR.. Huntley, chaplain OF the Senate,
and wife; Dr.. Kemp, rector OF st. Marks, Bal
timore; MIR. johnson, Clerk OF the Senate, and
! wife, and many others.
The guests were entertained by the senior
class OF the school with recitatlons and read
ings. An original poem, written for the occa'
sion by Mrs. Lydia Tllton, was most accepta
bly, rendered by Its author; another by Mrs.
Bradford, of exquisite pathos, was affectingly
given. A German dialect piece, by Miss Nc.
Lean, excited much merriment, and a dra-
matte selection by Miss Groff, from Tennyson's
'Queen Mary" finished a programme full OF
variety and charm. The evenings entertain
ment was most beautifully rounded up by
Mrs. Hart herself, who, at the request OF Chap
lain McCabe, gave the company something
light and "brought down the house."
Mrs. Hart is a lady of'wonderful montal en-
terprise and. superior gifts and culture. Her
school has been 30 quietly established among
people OF cultivation with whom she was ac-
qualnted, and has advanced so rapidly as to
numbers and reputation, that almost before
We are aware OF It's existence we find It a
power among us, promising to BIO one of our
greatest sources OF intellectual development
for the future.

Mr.. VIM. j. Moberly has put In his answer to
the bill In equity iiled against him by Joseph
NJ. Stryker for dissolution of partnership. He
states that he is n lawyer and does not believe
that the complainant is q member OF the bar;
charges that he Is broker without license,
who, in violation OF law loans
money at Ave per cent. per month. He
further charges that on the 10Th OF last De-
cemh or Mr.. stryker was admitted to tho bar OF
the Court OF Claims without complying with
the rules, for the purpose OF intermeddling
with q case In which the defendant had dono
all that was necessary. He became
suspicious OF Mr.. Stryker, being con-
WINGED that he was dealing with an
INSCRIPTIONS, dishonest an immoral man,
who would overreach and cheat him. He de.
MES forming special partnership or signing
an agreement TO prosecute claims OF u certain
class. He denies that Mr.. Stryker had any
thing TO do except keep the accounts aud
claims that he has charged tho defendant
and 8 per cent. per month for money and
has borrowed no such sum as
alleged. He denies having become
Incorporate, but, on the contrary asserts
that he has been diligent In business, and
built up a large Pre- ,tice. Upon the coming
In OF the answer Justice Cox dissolved the re-
stralning order, subiolned both parties from
collecting moneys due the nrm and appointed
A. A. Hosmer, receiver.
Mr.. Stryker has now fled a cross bill for
discovery, account and Injunction.
