They Are To Secure Houses and Give
Work to The Poor.
Chicago, Feb. 6.-According to Col.
Brewer, of the Salvation army, Chi
cago is to be made the center of a
vast system of social settlement sim
liar to that in operation in England,
made famous by Gen. VIM. Booth, of
the Salvation army. Arrangements
have been made whereby Gen. Booth,
is to come to Chicago and personally
direct the inauguration of the move
ment. He will apply the practical
knowledge of such work to a city
where temporary work will be offered
every labOring man in the city; will
place spacious tenement houses under
the supervision Of the army and later
will extend the movement to form col
onies within a radius of several hun
dred miles from the city. This move
ment will include the whole country.
The methods will be the same as
those employed in London. In that
metropolis the workingmen sheltered
in one year costs $365,000, but all but
$4,000 Of this amount was contributed
by the persons helped. 1t had been
estimated that the expense to the city
for the same work would have been
$500, 900 with no return in work.
Colonel Brewer stated that the first
work would be to enlarge Pilgrim Gate
home, the Albemarle Food and Re-
lief depot and other institutions in this
city. Others will be opened and fac
tories will be established.
1.-THE next and most important step"
said Col Brewer, Twill be to secure
several large tracts of land in the
of Chicago. AS far as
possible the tide of immigration Is to
be turned from the city to the country
and the crowded districts relieved"
Commander Booth Tucker will return
to Chicago within two weeks for the
purpose of advancing the arrange
ments and will hold conference with
the students OF sociology called by
President Harper of the University Of
Chicago.

4 WORD OF INSTRUCTION.

To my colOred friends:-While
believe majority of you are favOra-
bic to the present administration,
some of you may have personal
friends on the other tickets, for whom
you wish to vote for. 1t is your priv
ilege and right to scratch. IL you
cannot understand or make out your
own ballot, tell the judge who you
want to vote for, and it is his sworn
duty to fix your ballot as you direct.
If you think twelve years long enough
for man to hold on to one Office, and
want a change, vote for T. Il. John
son for city treasurer. You will find
his name on the first column of the
ballot. Leave his name and be sure
and scratch all the other candidates
running for the same office.

THE LITTLE PEOPLE.


Gulliyer's famous travels to the land
of the Liliputs, so familiar to every
household in this land as in other
lands, was faithfully called to mind
last night by Carl and Theodor Rosen-
fields splendid company OF Liliputlans
which appeared at the Grand opera
house. with the finest scenery, largest
ballet and richest costumes ever seen
on this stage. The stage was all TOO
small for some of the rich scenery ana
II could not be shown, but what was
not seen was not missed as the seen
cry was gorgeous and very pleasing.
The little people, nearly all of them no
larger than a 6-year-old child, range
in age from 10 to 80 years, and there
are ten of them. They sing, act ana
dance as well as the best of actors OF
larger stature and Franz Eberet ana
Adolph link as comedians will rank
with the best of fun makers In drollery
and in the wit Of expression ana ac-
ton.
The little ladies are very pretty and
graceful and fully sustain their roles.
The ballet and the tableaux at the end
of each act surpass any production OF
it's kind in this city and the entire pro-
duction is of the most commendable
kind. The electrical effects, and the
combination Of lights in the presen-
tation of the comedy-drama spectacle
are alone worth going to see. The
company will give fits last performance
here tomorrow night.

MURAVIEFFs VISIT.
He Has Returned From France And
Is Satisfied With His Mission.

He Has Returned From France And
Is Satisfied With His Mission.
New York, Feb. "a dispatch to the
Herald from st. Petersburg says:
Highly interesting are the signs which
mark the return of Count Muravief,
showing as they do, the wisdom of the
imperial command which sent him I'm
all haste direct to France at a time
when all sorts of intrigues, of which
there is now documentary proof, were
being used to break the good rela-
tons between Russia and France and
Russia's hand in her peaceful policy
at Consantinople.
A diplomat who is in a position to
know, said in conversation: Nothing
will now come of the deliberations at
Constantinople beyond giving Turkey
what assistance may be needed to
right her."
The Glasnost which has special re-
sources Of inspiration says: THE Eu-
ropean concert is without force. The
Sultan has nothing to fear. The pow
ers are not demanding his territory,
as in the past but are calling for the
Turks. to remain and give large
amount of money for the necessary re-
forms The Sultan has not only the
destines of his own country in his
hands but also those of the peace of
Europe"
The Novoe Vremya touching upon
the results of Count Muravieff's return
in a strong article says: Russia and
France will never accept Lord Sails
bury's policy in the partition of Tur-
KEY. Germany has no interest in play
ing England's game, and it Is not in
convenient for Austria to act contrary
to Germany"
Count Muravieff in a conversation
last evening expressed himself as most
favorably impressed with the Meline
cabinet.
The interview with NJ. Hoskier, pub
lished in the Neue Erie Presse, from
it's Paris correspondent. relative to NJ.
Hoskier's visit to st. Petersburg ana
his audience with the emperor, made
people doubt whether the Austrian
journalist understood what was said
to him by the French banker or weth-
err the latter did not overestimate ms
influence and whether his remem-
brance of the imperial audience grant
ed to him was exact. At any rate
the account has made a favorable inn
preston in st. Petersburg. One IN
situation was that NJ. Hoskier had in
timated that unless Russia assisted
France in obtaining her financial
claims in Turkey, Russia would have
| little chance of obtaining future loans
| in France This is not considered
| here to be the case at all.
