They Saw.
CHICAGO, Oct. 23.-Eight members of
the Women's Christian Temperance
congress, which closed it's session Sat

carry away from Chicago knowledge
of it's darker side which will no doubt
become the foundation of many adj

and temperance The new experience
which the new style" crusaders gained
were found in series of Stunning
tours under police protection, through
the ''Levee" district. that part Of Dark
est Chicago" bounded by Harrison and
Twelfth streets on the north and south
and Clark and State streets on the
west and east. The seven courageous
women were overcome by what they
saw. To most of them the haunts OF
vice were unknown. except through
vague newspaper hints, and the dread
ful realities of the sin-Smitten districts
of great city came upon them with
appalling force. Even as they pro-
ceeded they sought to do missionary
work among the fallen and besought
charity from the wealthy and notori:
Gus keepers of the resorts Wis
tied. The party comprised the
following well known members
of the Indiana Women's Chris
tian Temperance union: Miss
Mollie Hay, of Indianapolis; Mrs. E. l..
Calkins, of South Bend, vice-president
of the state union; Miss Ella Moore, of
Lakeville; Miss Emily Tompkins, of

The colored Sister.

CHICAGO, Oct. 22.-The color ques-
tion rather disturbed the placidity OF
the Woman's Christian Temperance
Union congress at the Art institute
yesterday. The question came up over
the appointment of superintendents.
There was not colored woman on the
list and that brought Mrs. Ihurber, of
Tennessee, to her feet at once. She
made an impassioned speech, in which
she said that she did not ask for social
equality for the colored woman, but
she did want them given the same adj
vantages as others in the Woman's
Christian Temperance union. At the
conclusion of her speech the congress
passed resolution asking the execu-
tive committee to create a department
of colored work and to put colored
woman in charge of it.

AN ENGLISH VIEW.

A Leading English Banking Authority
Talks About the Financial String,sncy
In the United States-Does Not Attribute
the Situation Entirely to the silver
Policy.
LONDON, Oct. ga leading member
of the banking house of j. S. Morgan
& Co., of London, was interviewed by
United Press representative yester-
day on the silver situation in the
United States. The gentleman al
1uded to said he doubted the truth of
the report that President Cleveland in
tended to suspend the purchase of sill
yer. At the same time he thought that
such proceeding was not impossi BILE,
and that in the present state of public
opinion the president might not feel
any great risk in adopting that course.
Such an action would be similar to
Gladstone's in overcoming the opposi-
tion to the abolition of the custom of
purchasing commissions in the army.
The American house would proba bly,
support President Cleveland in sus-
pending the silver-purchase clause just
as willingly as the English supported
Gladstone in abolishing the purchase
of army commissions.
nevertheless, continued the gem
tleman, II am not disposed to believe
more than the president has himself
declared. The president is a sincere
man, with the good of the country at
heart, and hope he will succeed. It
is surprising that the United States
feel the pressure of the situation so Sc
verely. The secretary of the treasury s
statement suggesting a deficit is most
serious. l can not say that
1 attribute this situation entirely
to the silver policy. The feeling is
largely due to the general contraction
of trade, but the situation is necessa-
rily aggravated by the position of silver,
as was shown by the improvement on
the outlook Immediately after repeal
was expected and the subsequent re-
lapse. 1t is not in the nature of things
that any government finding it's rev.
enues lessening from general causes
would view calmly the existence of a
statutory arrangement requiring the
government to purchase periodically
the silver which the country does not
want, and which only increases the
greatly-depreciated stocks in vaults"

A significant Suggestion.

CAPE Town, Oct. 23.-Gen. TuIIoch,
commanding the forces of Fort Vic
toria, Mashonaland, has declined an
offer made him by the Bendigo (Aus
tralia) militia to furnish 100 men tc
assist in the operations against the
Matabeles. Gen. Tulloch, in declining
the offer, thanked the militia for theiI
proffered assistance which, he said
proved that federation of the imperial
colonies already existed. He advised,
however, that the men reserve them
selves for the protection OF Australia,
or hold themselves in readiness to as
sist in preserving India.

HE CAUGHT COLD.

Rt. Rev. Lesghton Coleman. an
eminent divine of the Protestant
Episcopal churc,', has recently expe-
rienced an atfiiction that harmonizes
much with what we have said in tn ese
columns during the present season.
He went to New Hampshire to ded-
icate a church.
He caught cold but thinking tina
it would wear itself out paid little
attention to it but went on with his
labors. The cold finally settled in his
right eye and finally obtained such
mastery that it totally destroyed the
sight.
The good brother is now stretched
upon sick bed and it is said that lac
cannotget out before March.
This shows how careful we ought
to be in regard to taking cold. When
you take cold get a bottle Of Reid's
German Cough and Kidney Cure and
take it at once.
The first dose will do you good and
every subsequent dose will add to the
benefit.
Get it of any dealer.

At Set of Sun.

Three rays Of light shot upward from the
west:
Three golden rays, which lit the land and
sea,
And lost themselves above in mystery.
The day had been day of mist and rain,
The wind had sobbed in pitiful unrest;
And, like a heart within a weary breast,
The sea had throbbed and Nature seemed to
weep;
When suddenly these sun rays lit the plain,
And bathed the sea and soothed the sense of
pain;
Lighting the dull gray skies with wondrous
light.
AS golden as the hoard which misers keep,
From point to point saw the warm life leap,
Was that of Peace.
The world was not less bright
With the on coming of the gentle night,
For the three beacons OF the unseen sun
Within all hearts work of gladness wrought,
1t was the triumph Of fight long fought
With misery and gloom and sad despair,
And light had conquered all as day was
done,
And hearts assailed by Doubt were still
unwon.
The answer to the often-w whispered prayer
One Faith, one Hope, the other Love most
fair;
The rays OF God which light all misery

Supt. Childs, of the Harvey Peak

Supt. Childs, of the Harvey Peak
Tin Company, is preparing for exhibit
at the worlds far reproduction Of
twelve miles square of the Harvey
Peak tin district. The elevation of
every peak in the district and triang-
ulations, to determine the relative
positions, distances, etc, of each
peak, is now being done by the assist
ant engineer of the company. The
design Of the cast, as outlined by Mr..
Childs, will, when completed, be o.
great geological interest, as not only
every mountain, valley and creek will
be shown in the map, but the posi-
tion of the granite, states, dikes and
veins will be so ingeniously arranged
that the geology Of the twelve miles
square of the Black Hills can be in
telligently understood and studied
from a scale of six inches to the mile,
as the base Of the cast will be about
six feet square.

EXPLOSION AND FIRE.
The Town of Litchfield, Ills, Visited by n
Great Catastrophe.

ttthstTopue.
LITCHFIELD, March 22.-Fire destroyed
the Keeer Touring mill, and in an explo-
sion of mysterious origin that followed
nearly every business house in the village
was wrecked Many persons were badly
hurt by flying bricks and timbers. The
damage to the mill is 81, ,000,0 600, to other
property Sl50,000.
John Cowie, head millwright, late of
Waterloo, N Y, was instantly killed.
1t is estimated that s., 900 worth of glass
was destroyed in the town. Houses in
Litchfield were shaken from their founda-
tions. 1t is believed that spark from a
passing locomotive ignited the dust in the
mill and caused the explosion.
When the fire started the citizens were
awakened by the ringing of fire bells, and
before many of them could dress they were
stunned by the shock of the explosion and
the next moment found the walls of their
homes falling upon them.
The explosion shook the earth over a
wide area, while the atmospheric concus-
sion was felt as far as Decatur, distance
of so miles.
The large elevator standing Immediately
across the Wabash track west of the mill
containing 250,000 bushels of wheat was
quickly in flames, and together with its
valuable contents was burned to the
ground. Ten or 12 cars of wheat standing
on the house track were reduced to ashes.

One remedy suggested for the stop
page of frequently recurring strikes
on the railways of this country is that
the government should take charge OF
the business of transportation and
manage the railways itself. "Ihe cure
would be worse than the disease" ac-
cording to the Philadelphia Records
view Of the matter, as "the govern.
ment could not regulate wages to
suit itself, nor compel men to work,
nor punish them for quitting work. "
We think a great many people will
differ with the Records assertion that
the government could not regulate
wages to suit itself If the govern
ment does not regulate wages We
would like to know who it is that
regulates the wages of the postof1ico
department and its many branches
which have in their employ thousands
OF men? Who regulates the wages
paid IN the government printing Office,
the largest Of its kind in the country
or for work Of any kind that is per.
formed for the government by indi
viduals! As to compelling men to
work or punish them for quitting
work, that is out of the question.
This is free country, and the govern.
ment or anyone else should not com
pei men to work, unless it involves @
breach of contract, The Record had
better bring forward some other ar
gument besides the wage question i
it wishes to cut any figure in trying
to stop the movement that has for it,

portation.

During the discussion in the senate
over measures for the protection of rail
way employees Senator Cullom said, in
answer to questions, that there were
100000 freight cars in this country; that
there were 40 different patterns Of auto
matte couplers used, and if the owners
of so per cent of the freight cars agreed
upon a particular type of coupler the
interstate commerce commission would
fix upon that as the one to be used.
He gave statistics of the loss of life and
limb by railroad employees through ac-
cidents, and said that the country looked
to congress to hasten the time when such
tremendous slaughter would cease. 1t
had been stated that the number of rail-
road employees in killed and injured in
eight years was equal to the total num-
Der of men engaged in railroad service
in one year. These men, he said would
be safer if they were enlisted in the army
III time of war than they We're now as
railroad employees.

The statement has been published that
one of the causes for the disagreement
between Archbishops Ireland and Corri-
gan was the latter's opposition to the
Knights of Labor Rev. Father Lavelle
of New York denies for Archbishop
Corrigan, the charge. In recent inter
view Father Lavelle said: "You may
positively put down the statement as
false. On March 80, 1887, the papers
printed memorial presented by Car
dinal Gibbons to the pope regarding the
Knights of Labor. The statement was
made in that memorial that but out
of the IL archbishops voted to condemn
the knights The two lived over 1000

but this was fortunately averted. The fire
was discovered by gas engineer at the
Parker House and had already gained great
headway, for when the fire apparatus ar

hotel, and a second and third alarm soon
followed. Several streams were soon play

of hard fighting the fire was under control
