RlCHEllEU HOTEL FAILS.
The Swell Hostlery OF Chicago in the
Hands of n Receiver.

Chicago, July 1S.-The Hotel Richelieu
has been placed i'm the hands Of a re-
ceiver by Judge Payne. William p.
Hugunin. secretary Of the hotel COM
| pany, was appointed custodian. in a
| bond OF $25. 900.
This hotel. known all over the country
as a first class resort, was built ten
| years ago by " v. Bemis. who was be-
| fore that a successful brewer. The cap
ital stock Of the hotel company was
$500. 900. Mr.. Bemis bought the building
that Leroy Payne was erecting In Mich
igan avenue for an apartment house.
He finished II, making some changes
and additions. Three years later he
| leased the Masury building. n lot
away. and connected the two by a two
| story building. The hotel in reality con
sists of two buildings, one front and n
rear, connected by an iron passageway
for escape in case Of fire.
Thc interior is "A model of the decora-
tors work. The art gallery alone cost
more than 500, 900. 1t has "A room 50x60
| feet set apart for II on the sixth floor.
Onyx, mahogany and DEMONSTRATION
are freely used In finishing the interior,
which holds such rarities as a $500
dinner set and plates worth S35 apiece,
a glass table and mammoth antique
vases. Between the two buildings, in
| the court, is an observatory and aviary.
Thu cafe will seat 200 persons n Is
walled with mirrors seven feet high.
The famous crystal dining room Is ON
the second floor. IT Is walled with mir
rors and banked with crystal. 1t was
dedicated February %, 1888, at "A compii-
mentary dinner to Chauncey Nj. Depew
by the Chicago alumni OF Yale. ,
rt.e hotel was well ~patronized In It's
early days. 1t was the stopping place
for rich Americans and titled foreign
ers. Its wine cellar was said to be the
best this side Of the Atlantic, and 1t was
Ir, Bemis' custom TO banquet his guests
on the eve Of their departure. Ii is said
thai his hospitality ate up nearly all the
profits, but the reputation of his hotel
never deteriorated. Last winter part or
the contents OF the wine cellar was sold
TO relieve the financial pressure on the
office, but the relief was only tenn
porary.
The McGrath estate holds bonds OF
the house to the extent of $50, 600, II
the First National bank also Is an ex-
tensive bondholder.

CATHOLIC CONFERENCE.
1 Movement OH Foot to Csii "a National
Convention.

st. Louis, July 20.--A movement Is on
,oot looking TO the calling of a nation
al conference OF representative Catho-
fcs who are also members of the en-
iowment or insurance sections of the
Masonic order, the odd Fellows.
knights OF Pythias, and other secret
organizations that were placed under
the ban by the recent edict Issued from
Rome, with the view OF taking steps
towards securing "a reconsideration Of
the edict by the Holy Father and OF
putting in concise shape a statement OF
the great injustice chat will be done 20
n verlfable army Of the faithful If the
prescription Is TO be enforced as vigor-
ously as the action of many prelates IN
the United States would indicate. Al
.hough actual figures are hard to OBJ
tain without the taking OF a denomin-
alonal census by the orders most vital
ly interested II is roughly calculated
that there are In the United States not
les than 1900, 900 Catholics that carry
sndowments or insurance on their lives
through the secret orders already con
demned, or others THAI are pretty sure
to fall under the ban in the near future.
The majority of these men are no
longer young, and their admission into
any of the old-line insurance compan-
les would be an impossibility. Many
Of them a W been carrying their in
a through their respective socie-
ties for decades. and the face value Of
the policy is about all they have to
leave to their widows or families when
they are called away. Under the edict
Of the church. however, they are called
upon either to forfeit allegiance 90 their
faith, which involves a refusal Of the
last sacraments in their dying mo-
menls, or to forfeit their insurance with
n knowledge staring them in
the face that after their death
want m ~privation will be the
lot Of those they leave behind them.
In this city there are cases where arti-
sans OF the Catholic faith are depriving
themselves OF comforts and luxuries
since they entered upon the married
state that they might be enabled TO
affiliate with three or four secret socie-
ties having insurance features. and
thus insure 70 their widows and chill
dren "A sum out of all proportion TO
wha they could save in their lifetime.
1t is believed that II the issue were
submitted in this light to the holy
father n the gigantic nature of the
interests affected were impressed upon
him a modification or reversal of the
edict would be sure to follow. The pro-
posed conference, IL 1t eventuates, will
be held about September. and probably
In Washington or New York.

Missouri Coal Miners strike

ST. Louis. Mo. July 1.-Two hundred
coal miners employed in the Crown and
Lenz mines went on strike this morn
ing. The mines are situated ten miles
from East st. Louis. The cause OF the
strike. 1t is alleged. is the discharge Of
two men by Manager Taylor of the
Crown mines. The miners demanded
the reinstatement of these men, which
was refused. The LenZ miners went
out in sympathy. The feeling is very
bitter and IL looks as If all the miners In
the vicinity would be out by night.

the stockholders. 1t is whispered thai
there is n stakeholder. and none other
than r.. ID. Armour of Chicago, who Is
dissatisfied and that he will have the
support Of other packers who are inter.
ested in the yards in an attempt to re.
organize affairs here.
During the year thus far the business
OF the stock yards has been of a very
unsatisfactory character. There has

extended over the greater portion OF the
tributary territory. and ii Is a question
how much OF II could be charged up to
the management Of the company. 1t is
claimed, however, by those who are in
the inner circle that there is a more
potent cause for dissatisfaction than
the mere matter of decreased business.
The present manager, W. n. Babcock,
came TO the stock yards company fresh
from the Northwestern railroad COM
pany and has never lost his love for
that corporation. More than hal IL is
said that he has been making a strong
pull for that railroad all along and that
other roads have been given the worst
Of the deal In all r~satters over which he
had IN control, This Is said to be- the
real cause for the nov looking toward
a new management at the yards. The
Chicago, Burlington and Quincy is pop
ularly supposed to be the leader In the
move against Mr.. Babcock and to have
interested Mr.. Armour.
