Chicago Women Plan Social Settle
ment Work in a Noted Quarter.

Chicago, May 1S.-There is a move
ment afOOt among some well known
philanthrOpic women of the North Side
to carry on an extensive social settle
ment work in that part of the Twenty
third ward known as Little He'll"
To this board, of which DR.. Bedell is
chairman, the trustees of the Unity
church have offered the property at No.
industrial school a meeting of the
board will be held on May g. when the
property will be accepted and plans for
the initial years work will be discussed.
The house at No. so Elm is a large
-FOUR story structure of brick. It was
built and the classes in manual training
established by means of a legacy of %
thousand dollars from Mr.. Bates
The work has been carried on under the
supervision of Unity church, and its
sphere has gradually broadened.
First, q day nursery was opened in
the building, and last year the social
element of settlement work was started
in small way by Mrs. Helen Campbell
The field opened so rapidly before the
governing board that a division of Ia
Dor seemed advisable, and a new board
was formed to assume the social settle
ment work
1t IS planned TO make this new home
a second Hull House. The bright and
CHEEKY rooms will be at once fitted up
Tor the occupancy of the members of
the new settlement household.
we want to make it a place" said
one OF the new board yesterday, where
persons interested in settlement work
may come and enter into it without sac

and be free to- do as they like the rest

NEW LIGHTS FOR CARS
Santa Fe to Equip its Passenger
Trains With Electricity.

If experiments now being made by
the Santa Fe show successful results
and the present indications are ex-
tremely favorable, passenger trains OPP
Grated by that company will soon be
equipped with a complete system of
electric lights.
AS usual with innovations, the ex-
periments being made with electricity
have been conducted with the greatest
secrecy, but under the supervision of
some of the most expert electricians
the company could secure.
Neither is it possible to secure any
definite information concerning the re-
suits which have attended the expert
ments already made, as those who are
Informed refuse to divUlge the secret,
fearing the wrath of the president, who
is especially solicitous that new de-
partures to be made by the company
time as is deemed best to put them into
actual operation.
The device for generating the cleo
tricity is to be attached to the trucks
of the coach, the operation of which
viii furnish the power. From a system
of storage batteries the electricity will
be distributed.
Incidentally the company hopes to
solve the troublesome storage battery
problem, which has been agitating ex-
perimenters for years. The Santa Fe
mechanics and electricians believe that
they have a plan which will remove
this difficulty and furnish a reliable
and excellent supply of Illuminating
material.

ACTOR HEARNE CHURCH.

Chicago, Ill, May 18.-James A.

list church on THE Theater as 1t Is
Many of the big congregation seemed
to want to applaud his utterances when
he said: There would be no vicious
art if there were no patrons of vicious
art; there would be no vicious litera-
ture if there were no patrons of vi
ciOus literature; there would be no vi
cious plays if there were no vicious au-
diences."
The service lost none of it's usual re-
ligiOus aspect aside from the address
of the eminent actor In the audi
ence were many stage people. In the
course of his remarks Mr.. Hearne said:
The most sublime play 1 ever saw
in my life is The Passion Play as
presented some dozen or fifteen years
ago at the Grand Opera House in the
city of San Francisco, upon which Oc-
casiOn James O'Neil represented our
Saviour If ever a man was exalted
by his work that actor was exalted by
with Jesus Christ. I have not seen or
read anywhere anything which so en-
nObled and dignified the Christian re-
ligiOn as did that play and that actors
work. 1t was real; it was thrilling;
it was inspiring. 1t was Sublimfty
itself, and no person could leave that
theater after having witnessed that
play without carrying away with him
some of the beautiful spirit of the car
penter of Nazareth. But the orthodox
church called it blasphemy and de-
manded that the law should suppress
it. And the orthodox church and the
law crushed the spirit of the rising
young actor of his day and broke the
heart of its inspired writer, William

AMONG RAILROAD MEN.
st. Louis People Went to See a
Fake Collision.
Fifteen Thousand Disguised
Spectators HOOt.
Two Locomotives Crash Into Each
Other so Tamely That They
Are Uninjured.

St Louis, May 18.-Probably never
before was a throng of ST. Louisans
so thoroughly disappointed and badly
fooled as were the $1,000 people who
saw the railroad collision" near For
sythe Junction Sunday afternoon. They
went there expecting to see a novel
and startling Illustration of a head-end
locomotive smash-up, but instead were
treated to tame affair. They saw
locomotives 1O4 and 105 of the St
Louis, Kansas City & Colorado railroad
crash into each other, rub noses to-
gether and hiss at one another with es-
Gaping steam, and then stand still
practically uninjured.
The pilots had been removed and the
bo1Ier-heads seemed to have suffered
but little from the conclusion. The
steam valves had been plugged with
wood and the boilers tapped as safety
measures. The realistic features of the
affair failed to meet the expectations
OF the people who witnessed it, and
hoots OF dertsion and grOans rose loud
above the hiss of escaping steam when
the engines came together.
According to advertised plans the en-
g1nes should have been one mile apart,
and at given signal should have
started for a meeting point equidiStant
at a speed that would have aVera 2ed
35 miles an hour. The fact is that
scarce half a mile separated the loco
motives, and at the point of collision
the speed was not over u miles an hour.
With a few days i'll the repair shops
both engines, which, it is claimed, We're
passenger locomotives, can be made as
good as they were before the collision.
The collision occurred on the side of
a hill, half a mile west of Forsythe,
and on the main line of the railroad
The rOadbed was not disturbed, hard
ly a tie was moved from it's place, and
altogether the much heralded collision
was decidedly fat 1t was $50 O'Clock
when the collision occurred, and an
hour later a wrecking crew had cleared
the track, of about acres, as protec-
ton against the gaze of the curious who
would not pay the price of admission
50c-a screen of muslin about II feet
high was erected. At the extreme
north end of the Enclosure about 5000
people occupied a rudely constructed
grand stand.
