GREAT GAINS.
Biggest Deal Ever Made
in Chicago.
Profits in Grain Speculation
Have Been Immense.
Mystery Surr0uniS the Whole
Aflair--Dealers Very Curious.

Chicago H., Aug %. There was never
such a deal as is now being carried on
in the Chicago Board of Trace by some
mysterious principals through broker
ago house which did not exist two years
ago. There is now on toot grain cam
paign which involves possibly 10, OOO, 900
bushels of wheat, 5000, 0C0 bushels Of corn
and 8, 900. 600 bushels of oats.
Although the present line of wheat was
accumulated as long ago as April.
although it was turned over from July 10
September at profit of $500, 600, and
although an even greater profit has been
made in il since, no ono oIknows any more
than that Joe" Letter has some inter
est in il. and that the principals have
apparently enough money To pay for all
they buy.
The assumption has been that the deal
was started in New York by Wall street
men. Nobody knows how 10 happened
that Allen, Grier * Ieller. u new grain
firm. organized about two years ago with
u capital of 800. OO0, came TO get this huge
business. Nobody knows how IL happened
that all the orders came TO young
broker, George B. French, who was clerk
in the Atchison railroad Office year ago,
and "A year before that was "a clerk In the
ST. Paul railroad Office.
The pit n usually jealous of success of
any great trader. 1t will be little win
nings. Then il does not attempt any be-
lifting Of this remarkable transaction.
No one puts the wheat profits at less than
81, 800, 000 and il looks as II there was "a
profit of from $500, 900 TO $500. 900 on the
corn. Oats are up half as much with
about half as much profit for the big
holders. Here is "a g. 600, 600 profit at the
very least out of the greatest grain CAM
paign ever carried on.

Cause and Effect

Archbishop Ireland, in the book
he has just published, ''The
Church and Modern Society,""
holds that the use of alcoholic liq-
uors in the United States explains
how pauperism can exist in Amer
lea. No other country on earth
is SO rich in resources; nowhere
else are toll and talents so liber-
ally rewarded. In America there
ought to be no poverty, except
from unforeseen accidents. Yet,
as the Archbishop reminds us
''the plague of pauperism has
broken out in our cities; waits and
vagrants line our streets and
highways; in all directions elee-
mosynary institutions rear mas
sive piles. Economists are alarm
ed. The. author goes Oh to
charge the saloons with being
the prime source of all this pau
perism, and it's attendant social
evils. '.Hither the laborer and
the mechanic bring their hard
earned dollars, only to find them
selves penniless when the demand
for work slackens. There for
tunes are wrecked, the ruin of
which precipitates entertainments
and fraudulent bankruptcies.
There energy is paralyzed and
idleness is consecrated There
men toss off their money to pur-
chase shame, while their wives
and children at home cry for
bread; and, when the wretches
have been killed by the poisonous
draughts, the doors of the coun-
ty .poorhouse or of the orphan
asylum must open to save their
families from the blasts of winter
and the pangs of hunger"
