some time, but IL is not so pronounced rs
in former years. The new southern un-

delegation is here charged by the churches
of that state to secure for it the condemna-
ton of the international body. The new
movement was started n year ago. and is

There was a continuation of yester-
days disposition to sell wheat at the

lines were thrown overheard forcing the
market TO 63@1s for May. Armour ap-
( cared at this point and his brokers were
open buyers in large amounts. Tho
mans report came out about II 80 and
was surprise to the trade, being very
bullish. Early cables were steady, but
quiet Export clearances very good, fifty
boatloads being engaged for export to-
day, and telegram from San Francisco
states that after present Pacific coast en-
gagements are filled there will be very
little wheat left there for export.
Milmine, Logan, Baldwin and Farnum
and commission houses were good buy
ers. The market closed strong and at
the top. We have been advising clients
to buy on good breaks and believe there
is very handsome profit in store for
holders.
Corn and oats firm, in sympathy with

buying appeared the break. but the

Crepons of wool, with a silk stripe, in

usually adopted is plain godet skirt and
a full bodice, ornamented with gold and

Light taffetas, with colored stripes or

bridesmaids gowns and may be trimmed
with lace very effectively.

Best People in Chicago Organizing to Put
Stop tOsIt.

CHICAGO, Jan. 20. -Consolidation of
the towns of Chicago into one big city is
the object of Judge C. c. Kohlsaat, the
new president of the Union League
club. AT the Inauguration of the officers
of the club last night, the president in his
speech, said: Sin the year to come, l
hope to give my influence to further
legislation for civic reform. There are
crying evils in this city, and the club
should take a hand in doing away with
one of them. The towns of this city
should be consolidated into one great
city.
Elbridge G. Keith in his address laid
stress on the carrying out ofthe functions
of the club-that OF exposing and uproot-
ing municipal rottenness. 'Iamnlany IS
repeating itself here in Chicago" said
MIR. Keith. "The big and little bosses
are distributing the patronage as they
please, and when one OF US
attempts to demonstrate we are told 10
mind our own business. we ought 10
plead for better men at Washington, at
spring field and in Chicago. This CLUB
ought to take up the warfare against the
tax dodger, the bride taker and the cor
rupter and bring them all to justice.
I. D. Boyse urged the committee on
political action TO be more aggressive.
He told of state senator who had asked
him, for $4,000 in order 10 get Dill
through a committee aud of another case
in Chicago where he conld not get an
ordinance passed through the counch
because he would not bribe the alder
men.

The French seem to be ahead of every
nation in the honor in which they pay
to great men, especially great men of
science, and this honor is not confined
to their own countrymen. A number
of streets in Paris are called after emf
nent foreign savants, English and
other, and monuments are even erected
to illustrious foreigners. For instance,
the municipal council of Paris has de-
cided to erect a statue to Sir Isaac New
ton, and in doing so honors itself. With
SO many of our famous men of science,
dead or alive, waiting in vain for pub
lie recognition in this noble manner,
it is hopeless to expect the lord mayor
or the county council to reciprocate the
compliment and honor the great in
vestigators of France in this way
