A Chicago Society Girl.

The part the young girl plays in
Chicago society is very important; in
comparison with that taken by the
young matrons and the older married
people, almost too much so. 1t has
been stated that society exists only
as a matrimonial bureau, organized
and conducted solely FOR the benefit OF
the debutante, who lives brief but
terf1y existence in a shower OF COM
pliments and flowers before she mar.
ries and retires from view. This is an
over-statement, but not SO egregious
a one as might be wished. Older peo-
pie, with, of course, some notable ex-
captions, do not consider society to
hold any obligations for them. There
are very few houses where dinners are
given with any reference. to the bring
ing together of the men and women
who, in the prime OF theirlives, are in
fuencing and determining the life CT
the city. Young and old people, also,
are very rarely asked together, which
is a loss to both-to the young OF the
desirable contact with minds of force,
maturity and experience; to the old
OF the joyful, refreshing influences OF
youth. Hence it happens that the
men see each other at the clubs, the
women at their luncheon parties and
literary societies, and really regret
table separation OF occupation and
thought establishes ITSELF Every pos
sible protection is given to the debut
ante in her entrance into the world,
but here, as elsewhere in America,
she is permitted to follow her own in
clinations in the question OF marriage.

A Grain Firm In trouble.

NEW YoRK, Aug. 3.-Rumors that an
important grain exporting house was in
trouble caused more or less stir on the
Produce Exchange yesterday afternoon.
But it could be traced to no authoritative
source. Later ]. w. Nightingale, of s. A.
Budget & Co., issued the following: rs.
A. Budget & Co., London, is in some tenn
porary financial ENHANCEMENT, but we ex-
pect this to be Strengthened out in a few
days and business carried on as usual" No
details about the nature or extent of the
trouble of the London house was received.
They represent H. H. and s. A. Budget &
Co., of Bristol England and Samuel
Budget & Son, who do business in Lon
don and Liverpool. The relation between
the firms on this side of the ocean and
those on the other are merely a friendly
one and the trouble effected only the Lon
don house. The New York firm did busi-
ness as usual and met all calls upon it.
The Budget connection is very important
in the grain export trade. The firm is an
old, well known, well established and do a
heavy business

which was made the basis Of the divorce
suit IL was that long years
before he had met his true love, but the
course of their affection was broken and the
fortunes of their profession forced them

troubles have been settled. Hon. A. H.
Anderson purchased A. f. Metzger's in
terest in the concern and today opened the
doors of the bank and paid the depositors
every cent due them. This purchase and
settlement for promptness is unprecedent-
ed in the arrangement of banking difficult
ties in this country. Usually there is a
manifest attempt to delay settlement of
such matters and depositors are kept on
the ragged edge for an indefinite time. But
in this case the determination of Mr.. An
derson to pay the depositors in full was
clearly expressed at once and his energetic
and prompt action inspired perfect
confidence in the minds of every
depositor from the start. When the an
nouncement of the failure was first made
there was considerable demonstration by
depositors, but when Mr.. Anderson ar
rived and stated that be would pay every
cent due the excitement at once subsided
only one man expressed any fear as to the
result The indebtedness will aggregate
about $4,000; exact amount not known.
The bank will be reorganized at once upon
a sound basis and will be run upon recOg-
nized banking principles. Several propo-
sitiOns have been received by Mr.. Ander-
son but he will make haste slowly in the
matter of reorganization being determined
that no mistakes shall be made.

Advertisement of Human Brutes

SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. Billy Maher,
the Australian pugilist, arrived here from
Los Angeles en- route to Portland, where
he is matched to fight Billy Smith, of Bos-
ton, in September. Maher has been
greatly benefited by his stay in Southern
California and has lost that emaCiated ap-
pearance which made the clubs here fear to
match him. Maher was very indignant
when he learned Dawson had been making
indirect challenges at him and said he
would fight Dawson for any amount the
latter might name if he could secure a
postponement of the match with Smith or
if Dawson could be substituted for Smith
by the Portland club,
