servatory hall last evening in the inter
est of the good citizenship movement.
C. H. Chandler presided and, in a brief
address, outlined the purposes of the
meeting and explained that an effort

standing of the plans and purposes of
local government.
Professor ID. a. Stone read a we'll
written paper on "The Citizen" deiin-
ing the word and its meanings, and
describing the origin of town govern
mcnt. A number of those present dis
cuFsed the paper.
u. S. Williams delivered an address
on Town Government" in which he

displaced by the caucus, the change, in
his opinion, being detrimental to the
interests of the community Any citi-
zen was possessed of the right to at
tend town meeting and advocate re-
forms or nominate any man for pub

party could participate in the caucus.

FOR REVENUE ONLY. ,
Milton SOhles' Sparkling Comedy Pre-.
scented at Academy of Music.

scented at Academy of Music.
Milton Mobiles and his company pre-
sented "For Revenue Only" at the
Academy of Music last evening to n
small audience that thoroughly enjoyed
the comedy, which Is the work of Mr..
Mobiles pen.
1t deals with the efforts of Tom
Knowall Milton Nobles), free lance
journalist, to boom jefferson Potter,
a banker, as the third party candidate,
for congress. Knowall is a thorough
Bohemian and his native wit, droll
sayings and many-sded character
furnish a constant source of merrl-
ment,
The comedy is a broad burlesque of
the country newspaper, and 1t unfor-
unately descends to horse play as the
curtain Is rung down on the third act
A modification of that scene would
improve the comedy, which has two
simple, natural love stories entwined
in 1t.
Milton Mobiles gave a natural and
very successful Interpretation of the
character of Tom Knowall and he re-
ceived clever support from Dolly No
bles, Eva Taylor, May Davis, r.. A.
Lack, w. f. Courtenay, Henry Pierson
and Fred Richter. 1t is to be regretted
that Mr.. Mobiles was. not greeted by a
larger audience. His comedy contains
many sparkling and original lines and
some clever epigramS.

Rev. w. II. Stubblebine pastor of the
Calvary Reformed church, delivered
lecture last evening on "Greenland's
Icy Mountains to n large congrega-
ton in the lecture room Of the Second
Presbyterian church. The lecture was
Illustrated by stereOpticon views.
The reverend gentleman who signed
the ship articles as a common seaman,
ant in his travels by the minute de-
scriptions given of the habits and GUS
toms of the inhabitants, and the seem
cry, animals and the many other fea-
lures which impressed him on his visit.
Al the photographs We're taken by him
self, and some of the scenes thrown
on the canvas were reproductions of
photographs taken at midnight, there
being sufficient light at the time to
read.
The habits of the EsquimauX were
described as queer and dirty, and the
instances spoken of last evening We're
quite corroborative. They We're small
people, generally feet and inches in
stature, with small eyes, fiat nose and
expansive mouth. Since the advent of
the missionaries their condition had
vastly improved, and settlements We're
now formed with a governor doctor,
teacher, blacksmith, etc, and church
in every settlement was becoming the
rule. The adventures of the lecturer
were related in thrilling manner, and
his remarks were followed with deep
interest.
The lecture was organized under the
auspices of the Young Peoples society
of the Calvary Reformed church, and
the proceeds were devoted to the build
ing fund of the new edifce.

Editor OF The TrlbUnc,
Sir: | desire to contradict the statement
printed in the Truth last evening as COM
ing from John f. Hickey, regarding his
trouble with the Rogers family. The as
sertion that he was ever obliged to in
terfere in order to protect his wife, who is
my sister, from an assault at my hands
Is a deliberate falsehood, and such an idea
could only exist in the head of n man
whose imagination is gauged by the num-
Der of times he bends his elbow. AS to his
trouble with my mother, that is a mat
ter of court record and will come out at
the proper time, and Hickey's anxiety to
get into print will probably be gratiiied to
his fun satisfaction before the case is
ended. James j. Rogers.

ChicagO's Clubs.

From the Chicago Times-Herald
The club history of Chicago, although not
covering a great space in the matter of
time, is full of spirit and enterprise. The
Chicago Club might appropriately be called
the king of clubs for various reasons,
among them the fact that 1t was first in
the field, and includes in its membership
more millionaires than Any other orsaniza-
ton in the city. Descended from the Dear
born Club, which was organized in 1861, 1t
began operations under its present name in
1862 almost ten years before all the other
important clubs-except the Standard
were organized. The Standard Club. now
one of the strongest organizations in the
city, dates back to 1863. and was housed at
18th street and Michigan avenue In 1870 in
the first structure of any consequence built
for club use in the city of Chicago. This
edifice, which still stands. was FULLY In COM
mission at the time of the big fire. just in
time to furnish headquarters for the relief
association, and an arena also for theatre
cal exercises and church services.
1t was in the year 1878 that the present
era of club development in Chicago broke
out, with the accompaniment Of SO much
enthusiasm that 1t seemed, for a time, that
every neighborhood in the city would have
it's own club AS if by a common impulse.
those three representative clubs of the
grand divisions in this city-the Calumet,
Illinois and Union-were devised about the
same time. The Union dates from Febru-
airy, 1873; the Calumet. April ID, 1878. and
the Illinois April g. 1878. This great trio
established fashion in clubs. and, after
due incubation. the Union League came in
to existence December 10. 1879, to be iol-
lowed July. 1880, by the Iroquois, an
ganization devoted to the principles of de-
mocracy. This was the mother period of
great clubs in Chicago, and during or since
that time score of important clubs have
ton Park, Kenwood, Douglas, Carleton
Oakland. Marquette. Germania, Ashland,
Hyde Park, Press, Sheridan, Columbus,
Hamilton, University, Athletic, Lakeside
and a score of others of more or less i'm
portance, not to mention such brilliant
dinner clubs as the Fellowship, Bankers,
Commercial, Forty and others that live, SO
to speak, by bread alone, and have no per-
manent abiding place.
