SUGGEST A BELT LINE.
Grand Avenue Street Car Patrons
Discuss a Loop.

Discuss a Loop.
Patrons of the Grand Avenue street
car line held a meeting at Grand and
Oakland avenues last night. Fred In
gersol acted as chairman and V. j.
Rothschild as secretary. 1t took but
a moment to pass a resolution to the
following effect:
Resolved, That the patrons of the Grand
avenue line are opposed to the contemplated
change of the present loop to Broadway so
for the Grand avenue line is concerned.
This having been adopted about an
hour and half was spent in discuss
ing routes which the line should take.
providing the new loop ordinance went
into. effect. Nearly every one of the
gentlemen present had route for the
car line. G.. V. Bacon wanted the
wholesale district considered and sug,
gested that as the cable line was soon
to be changed to an electric it would
be the correct thing to have the line
run down Fourth street to Sibley and
on that street to the union depot. AS
semblynan Kirke thought if there was
to be a change in the present loop and
it looked that way the best plan
would be to have the Grand avenue
cars run down Fifth street, over jack
son and up Seventh.
The discussion brought out the
statement that the street railway peo-
pie thought well OF. a belt line to run
from the union depot to Fifth street.
down Fifth to Broadway, on Broad
way to Eighth, on Eighth to Sibley
and on Sibley to the union depot It
was argued that with this line in
operation and cars running every two
minutes. there would be no need of a
Broadway loop, and the wholesale dis
trict and all the lines in the city could
be reached. The following resolution
was finally passed:
Resolved That the present route of the
Grand avenue line is unsatisfactory. That it is
the sentiment of this meeting that at the
earliest date possible the Grand avenue line
have a direct line to the union depot re-
turning via Fifth or Seventh street That IL
this cannot be done belt line be constructed
and operated making connections with the
union depot and all other lines.
Assemblyman Kirke stated that in his epin-
ion the only chance to retain the present
loop to have the question of belt line
such as outlined above agitated.

heels, unable to put foot to ground owing
to swollen toes. The moaning Of women
at night and the believing of youngsters
were most distressing to hear II tried to
impress upon them that constant washing
and attention to their feet and occasfenal
flooding OF the low, clayey ground In hut
and street would cure the evil, but It was
too much like hard work to be adopted.
The flooding could be done without the
slightest injury to property as the streets
are quite level, and the hoerfngs of clay
brick are raised about foot above the
ground, but no precautions are taken, and
even the babies are permitted to souat on
the bare ground as though the JfRYer did

Statistics as to the Wealth oI

ILV E r A ND OLD
To the Editor Of The Evening Star:

To the Editor Of The Evening Star:
In the discussion of free coinage Of sill
yer. which took place at Convention Hall
Henry e. Davis and Stilson Hutch
ms, Mr.. Hutchins was pleased to
present in deferse of his position.
an array Of figures. and while criti-
cising with not little severity alleged
false statistical statements, set forth by
some of the principal metropolitan news
papers Of the country; invited special at
tention to the correctness of his own
mathematical calculations. In response
to this invitation take the liberty Of SUBJ
mitting the following:
Mr.. Hutchins stated that in the past
fourteen years England has taken from
us 1858. .OOO,O0 Of gold, that in the last ten
years the aggregate decrease Of wealth
in Illinois was S59.OOOO0O. and that the
proportionate increase of wealth in the
eastern states. such as Massachusetts.
Pennsylvania, New York and Rhode ISL
and. was tmmeasurably greater than in
any of the western or southern states.
Now. the facts as shown by the statisti-
cal abstract published by the Treasury
Department, year 1895, p. 60, and the alb
stract of the eleventh census, p. 1873, are
these: The total value of gold coin and
bullion exported by US to all the other
countries ef the world from 1880 to 1895.
inclusive. was 1886, 557, PSI: the total value of
gold coin and bullion imported into this
country from all other countries for the
same period was $6O3, ,942, $685. leaving a
balance against the United States of only
,63S, and this is entirely wiped out
by the large balance in our favor already
reported for the nine months Of 1896, thus
showing that instead of this country having
been drain ed to the extent Of $S53, ,OOO, ,0OO, as
stated by Mr.. Hutchins, there is in fact
a small balance in our favor for the past
sixteen years.
On the authority above cited 1t appears
that the aggregate wealth of Illinois for
the year 1880 was $3,21O,0OO,OOO, and for
the year 1880 S.. .O66. 751. 719, an increase of
$1.so6. 751, 719. or 57.S4 per cent, for the
decade
From the same authority the following
comparative tables showing the relative
increase in wealth Of the different states
and sections for the past decade are COM

for q chapel. Then called his attention TO

Mrs. sawyer's $4,000 Cow.

From the Chicago Times Herald.
1t was in 1881, when Mr.. Sawyer was
seeking his first election to the United
States Senate. that Colonel Calkins said to
him: "Mr. Sawyer, one Of the Winnebago
county assemblymen, Mr.. Jones, here, IS all
right on the bill which proposes to pay me
for work did for the state over twenty
years ago. but don't know how the others
stand. l wish you would f1x them ND for
me-"
OF course the colonel was testing. Mr..
Sawyer was amused, and told one of the
few sunny stories he ever INDUCED in.
"Calkins," said the Senator, your request
for help on that printing bill reminds me of
an experience had a good many years ago.
When we were living on my farm at Rosen-
dale 1t became necessary to sell a COW. The
buyer wanted q certain COW or none at an.
1t happened to be the COW I had given to
my wife. She, the good soul, said: Sell
her, but / want the money I sold the
COW. gave my wife q couple Of dollars and
said: Call on me when you want more
When she wanted to buy Dress bonnet or
wedding present she would ask for some of
that COW Money. I had paid back several
thousand dollars of the COW money and was
wondering when the demand would cease.
house was built. It had to be furnished.
We figured up what the furnishing would
cost. 1t amounted to several thousand dol
lars. I said: Wife. IN pay you the balance
of that COW money and you can pay for
furnishing the house with it. It was a
bargain. and the COW deal was over.''
The so COW cost the old Senator not far
from $4,000, but he never complained at the
price.

II went into the restaurant about 5

other victim in the place. A waiter who
wore an apron that put me in mind of a
table-closh after hard days work at a
chowder party dexterously attempted to
knock out my eye with a napkin The hand
was just tuning up. 1 fancied the leader
was gazing at me with an expression of
interest. Anyhow, j ordered soup, and all
the time 1 was putting it away the band
played Swim Out, OGrady.'
Il tackled a piece of chicken, and the
band switched to When You and I Were

of water. and the leader detected some evil
