ANARCHY is NOT DEAD,
BUT ON THE CONTRARY IS BETTER

Tho Membership He's Increased Greatly
and They Are Pursuing shrewder
Schemes for tho Ultimate Do
struotion of Chicago.

CHICAGO, ILL.,, Nov. l3.-The 7im9 says:
Anarchy is not dead, or even sleeping.
On the contrary, Il is more thoroughly
organized than even at the time OF the
Haymarket riot, aud its membership is
larger than II has ever been. Tho dem
onstration Of last Sunday at Waldheim
Cemetery was not n gathering Of few
sympathizers OF the friends OF the dead
anarchist. II was that OF the organized
memoirs Of the International Union, who
have come 10 concentrate ut any point
agreed upon. Inspector Bonfcld, who is
known TO have kept detectives watching
every movement OF the anarchists the past
few weeks, when asked yesterday II there
were aEy anarchists at the celebration,
replied ayes, there were. Most Of them
were anarchists"
Then, do you think thoy are still
organized and have large membership"

meetings, and We know who they are,
and have the names aud addresses Of the
leaders and the most radical anarchists,
~ WI can reach them Ia case OF trouble.
They meet in smaller numbers than be-
fore, but there nre more OF them, and
they conduct their meetings differently.
There is not 20 much preparation NJ
meetings for fighting and drilling with
arms and explosives; but, what is far
more dangerous, they are thoroughly or
ganiEcd just within the pale OF the law,
aud all VIC can do Ia 20 keep our eye on
them. The wont thing about Il Is, they
have several schools hero for teaching
anarchy, which they call anarchy Sum
day schools In these they teach the
children 90 hate law aud the officers uf
