GRAFTON, w. VA, October 22.-In
response TO the suggestions made in the
newspapers some time ago, that silver
dollars of the same fneness and weight
as those made by the United States
Government could be made and passed
at a profit OF from thirty to forty cents
on the dollar, some enterprisinR indi-
vidual has gone TO work and is now cir
culating them in this State. They were
first noticed at Elkins and Grafton. The
dollar was little over weight, had a
perfect ring, felt all right to the touch,
but is little larger in diameter than
the dollSr of the government. 1t would
not pass through the bankers gauges,
and was found to be little inferior in
the milling on the edge, although this
latter defect was not noticeable except
to one accustomed to examining such
things. Since their first appearance,
il Is probable that 1000 of them have
been passed in different parts OF this
State, and people here and elsewhere
seem willing to take them, knowing
that they were not made in the United
States mlnts. There Is no clue TO the
persons who are passing them, and they
seem TO have come in in the course Of
natural trade. They have been noticed
at many points recently, and several OF
them will be sent 10 the Treasury De-

CHICAGO, October %. Seven mem

ance Congrers, which closed It's SESSIONS
Saturday night, will carry away from
Chicago knowledge Of its darker side,
which will no doubt become the fouDda-
ton OF many addresses In advocacy
of social purity and temperance. The
experience which the crusadars gained
was found In series OF Summing"
tours under police protection through
the 'levee" district of Chicago.
The party comprised the following
we'll known memters Of the Indiana
Woman's Christian Temperance Union:
Miss Mollie Hay, Of Indianapolis; Mrs.
E. L.. Calkins, OF South Bend; Mrs. Ella
Moore, Of Lakeville; Mrs. Emily Tomp-

Miss Leonora Ayers, of Indianapolis;
Mrs. L. Mendenhall and Mrs. Gertrude

They were escorted by two detectives
from the Central station, and Charles
L. Stevens, Of the "Levee," and R. 8.
Fulton, Of Richmond, Ind. The party
met at Harrison street station at one
o'clock this morning, and at once start
ed out to visit the most notorious dives.
At the first place they were denied ad-
mission, because too many people were
there already, but received an Invita-
ton to come again, and they would be
shown through the place. AT one place
all the men save one fed from the house.
This man was drunk and insisted
upon having 3 dance with one OF the
missionaries. He was finally squelched
by one Of the officers. The trip occu-
pied three hours, and at its close Miss
Hay, who has done missionary work in
the slums before, said:
81 have been through every part OF
New York and have seen life in its
worst forms. This does not compare
with what there Is there. 1t is bad
enough, however. 1t was an experience
which the ladies who were with me
will never forget, and from which some
OF them will not recover for some time.
Not that they were made I'LL, but the
shock they received on beholding such
scenes OF vice was very distress
ing to many OF our party. / have
seen but one of the ladies to-day, and
on inquiry as to how the rest are, re-

had slept at all last night. The In
formation received will enable them TO
conduct the warfare against the evils
Of vice and intem Derance.
