TIE "DIsREPUTABLE" or CHICAGO
Editor Stead Delivers a Very Startling
Address.

NEW YORK. JAM. IA Chicago dis
patch says: william r.. stead made an
address at tie Peoples Institute on the
West Side last night. and abused every
thing Chicago possesses, from its city
council and street-car management to its
women.
His object was to show the seamy side
of life in this city, including the rich
men who rob right and left. asld the wo-
men who sell their bodies in order TO get
bread.
He took a fling at the city council, de-
%nouncing il as being composed, in the
main. of men who came from the very
lowest elements in the city. and said the
idea of such men legislating for such a
great city as Chicago was absurd. He
intimated that many of the members Of
the city council were little better than
thieVnf, and was literally applauded for
the sentiment.
The wealthy society woman who thinks
only OF herself and neglects her hungry
ana dogn-trodden sisters, came In for her
share OF attention.
The speaker drew two PICTURESQUE or
the woman rolling in wealth, who because
OF her social position ana her fear OF
losing IL, kept herself free from faint,
and the poor woman, who. harassed by
want and poverty, threw herself into the
gutter TO get bread to Keep her from
starving.
MI. Stead did not think the society wo-
man Vas any better in soul than her
weaker sister. who, however pure in
heart she might be, was compelled by
force OF circumstances TO abandon Il moral
life.
Stead's words in discussing this phase
OF life were SO broad that most OF the
women IN the audience biushed with
shame, and some of them left the han.
l1is subject was "Who are the disrep-
utable"' and his idea was that women
need not be immoral to be foui-miDded,
ana hence ~disrcpUtable.

Judge Moon.

CHATTANOOGA. TENN, Jan. I'm.
J. OBrien, ex~treasurer OF the Catholic
knights Of America. won a decisive Vic
tory to-day, when his case was called in
the Circuit Court. OBrien's attorney en-
tered a plea of abatement, claiming that
Catholic Knights had no legal existence
in the State. the organization being OF
"a benevolent character and not incor-
porated. Judge Moon ordered the at
torneys to join issue on the plea and
proceed with the case. which the a.tor-
neys for the State, after consultation, re-
fused. Judge Moon then ruled that the
plea of abatement should be allowed, and
defendant O'Brien was dismissed. The
State served notice that il would appeal
from the courts ruling on the plea OF
abatement.

ASHLAND, VA, Jan. lit seems to be

tended. One of the candidates is Miss
Leake. a. sister of e~x-Judge w. J. Leake.
and her sex Will naturally debar her from
e~lectioneering. Miss Leake thoroughly
understands the business of the Office,
and is a lady OF the highest character

ably would be acceptable TO the majority
of the community. although the other two
candidates are good men, and would

that it when they are presented for

that gold can be realized upon them

will be large addition to the sill

corresponding reduction of gold in

made that these things will not occur
