Chicago is one of the favorite fields for
Mr.. Moo DY in his evangelistic labors. AS q
compendium of all that is antagonistic to the
good and st. Paul-like, sanity heroism can
earn higher pla udits for courage there
than in other fields. 1t is a good place for
experiments, as failures could not depreciate
the nj oral status. Mr.. MOODY is operating
there at present testing one of his long-cher-
ished theories. He has gathered several hun
dred assistants. mostly from other places,
and every morning they come to him, and a
sort of religious institute is held. He in

common people-yery common, perhaps
They then go out like some of the commits
stoned of apostolic times, into the by-ways
and hedges of the city, and try to work out
the lessons given them. A sort of Salvation
Army without the flare and hurdy. gurdies
The idea is to fill up the gap MOODY says has
come between the clergy and the common
people.
STEPHEA GIRARD did not display the
wonted courtesy of philanthropic movements
TO the cloth in his great educational bequest
but his college meets an eXigency that gives
it specially useful field. 1t is giving in
dustrial training free to nearly 400 boys,
with hundreds of others waiting for yacan-
cies. The discipline received at this institu-
ton is such that its diploma is almost guar
antee of good situations. A local paper says
that although the labor market is always
full, and even crowded. the past two years
not one Girard boy in hundred has missed
place. This affords the best evidence of
the need of training schools in the industries
for boys. The situation is not at all peculiar
in the Quaker City. The young man who
comes up to the years of selfassertiou
equipped with adeptness and skill in some
line of industry will secure the better oppor-
tunitie of life.
The Eastern papers of late have had a
good deal to say about young man in one
of the territories further west who secured q
beautiful young woman from Philadelphia
for wife by means of a personal sent to a
city paper. There was nothing very unusual
in the case. The correspondence once COM
menced, the natural stages of exchange of
photographs, proposal, and engagement
were passed. The young lady came West
passed through St Paul, and the advertiser
met her at the depot of her destination, and
escorted her to the minister, where they were
married, with something of an ovation by
the people. 1t is probable that marriage was
a success in this case. as there is no intima-
ton of a divorce being needed. There are
people who have drawn large prizes in lot
teries. This sort of way of getting husband
is lottery with rare prizes. 1t is dangerous
for young ladies to answer such advertise
ments. even as freak. 1t is very liable to
lead them into trouble, if not disgrace and
ruin.
For those who are not successful in efforts
to gather in the good things of life as they
see others do III apparently no more favor

in noting that riches do not always 60 with

reports of the trial recently in the STEWART
will case are suggestive. 1t was shown that
the widow of the millionaire had not con-
ception above her dTesses-in fact, was
pretty near an ignoramus. She was in
France one Fourth of July and wondered
why the day was not celebrated with fire
crackers and oratorical pop. just as in this
country. A. IT, STEWART made money and
built up vast business, but beyond that was
not a-succeSS. He was unable TO shape his
intended benefaction to workingwomen so
as to carry out his intention. His house is
wrecked, his vast estate the prey of devour-
ing attorneys. and if any man knows where
his bones are he does not tell. Money is
good thing but it is not all or the best of life.
