No More Flirtations in the Chicago
City Hall.

Chicago Oct. 1-Comptroller Waller
has issued an order which will put stop
to the long distance telephone courtships
which seems to have been fiourishing in the
city hail. The monthly telephone bill
came in during the course of the day. and
Mr.. Waller began a desuItory examina-
ton of the items. He had not read more
than dozen lines in the long bill before
he became greatly interested. 1t was
the report of the city's use of the toll
board that engrossed his attention.
To his amazement he found that the de-
partment of public works had been talk
ing to Miss So and So of Evanston, and
the legal department had called up Miss
Smith of Evanston. Miss Jones of River
side, Miss Johnson of Oak Park, and so
on. From the health department the
calls extended even TO St Louis, and in
two cases long conversations had
been held by the police department with
a young woman in New York. whom all
the researches made by Mr.. Waller failed
to connect with any Police case. Mr..
Waller studied the list. He found that
the department of public works had talk
ed every working day of last month to
Miss Evanston, and on one day matters
progressed so rapidly that there were
three distinct conversations recorded on
the bill.
Mr.. Waller called in his private secre-
tary and instructed him to write a letter
to the head of each department instruct
ing him to issue an order against anyone
calling up toll stations on a city hall tele
phone without first receiving permission,
permission only being given when official
business was to be transacted. The let
ters reached the department during the
afternoon and there was a good deal of
merriment on the part of the heart free
and embarra ssment of those who have
been using the telephones so energeucauy.
The Topeka state journal., 1897-10-11
THE BUSINESS OUTLOOK.

The unusual excess of exports over
imports which has prevailed for the
past two years has at last become eff
fective in turning a stream of gold to-
ward our shores. 1t is coming from the
east and from the west-from Europe
and Australia.
Balances have been carried in one
way and another and settled in Ameri-
can securities till the limit seems to
have been reached and the time has
arrived when our foreign customers
must pay in hard cash.
It is notable that recent impOrta-
aions of gold from London have been in
american eagles, indicating that we
are only getting back our own. Some
bf the millions withdrawn from the
United States treasury, leading to the
various issues of bonds under the
Cleveland administration, are coming
back.
It is barely possible that some of this
gold may be intended for use in settling
up the Pacific railway matter, but the
fact that the balance of trade is so
largely on the side of this country will
tend to keep the money here.
In addition to the millions which are
coming from abroad, the New York
banks are getting rid of their surplus
at a rapid rate. The amount of their
reserve over the % per cent required by
law, has fallen in a short time from
$50 O0O. 600 to $13.O0OOOO. All this
money is evidently going into the chan
nels of trade and business investment.
The effect of setting so much money
ahoat is seen in increased manu-
factures and an added impetus to many
enterprises. In business circles is
again heard talk of new railroads, irri-
cation systems, new factories and new
buildings.
The real estate market has been slow
to respond to the changed conditions
but this apathy cannot last much long
er. There is no better, safer or more
profitable investment than land, and
it is certain to command the attention
of the pOssessOrs of surplus capital at
an early date. There seems no reason
to doubt that by next spring there will
be a marked forward movement in
real estate values.
Nowhere in the country are condi-
tiOns more favorable to an advance
thanin this community. There has been a
considerable amount of building going
on the past summer, yet there is scarce
Iy a desirable house to be had for rent
New and enlarged Industries have un-
doubtedly added considerably to our
population and other industries in pros
pect will cause further increase. Tope-
ka's outlook for the coming year is
bright.

PLAYS AND PLAYERS.
News of the London Stage and Its
PEOPLE


London. Oct 1.-THE fall season of
grand opera at COvent Garden, which the
old Carl Rosa company gives each year.
was begun Monday under unusually IA
vOrable auspices. Several singers of the
first class have been specially engaged
for the London season and the manage
ment is negotiating for the services of
others. One of the stars whose appear
ance is looked forward to with interest
is the Chevalier Scovel whose engage
ment was announced by the Associated
Press before it became known in Lon
don. He will make his debut in London
at Tristan with a compatriot, Alice Esty,
singing Isolde
The proportion of Wagner in the sea-
sons bill is much larger than ever be-
fore.
The season. it is believed. will prove
successful one, though from the stand
point of society not a brilliant one. be-
cause of the absence of the fashionable
world from London.
Monday night gave London its first op-
portunity to hear La Boheme," Puc-
cinnfs new opera which has made a fine
impression on the continent.
This was followed during the week by
''Tannhauser.' Faust" Carmen and
Romeo and Juliet" The principals in
the casts included Messrs. Salvi, Maggi,
-,
Lloyd, DAubigne, Alexander Bevan, G.
w Ferguson and Misses Bessie McDOn-
aid, Alice Esty. Mile. CIitzka and Marie
Duma.
The general verdict is that the increase
in numbers of the suburban theaters is
drawing business away from the center
of the city.
Wilson Barrett has signed with Will
Hanson & Musgrove. the firm which man
ao Of nd
Mrs. Potter in Australia, for a tour of that
continent this winter.
c. E. Hodmondts opera season came to
untimely end at Her Majestys theater
because the New Opera Rip Van Win
kle,' on the mounting of which much
money was expended, became unpopular.
The theatrical week has seen two nota-
BILE successes, that of Louie Froer in "Oh,
Susannah" at the Royalty theater on
Tuesday and that of Henry Arthur Jones
in THE Liars at the Criterion theater on
Wednesday.

SOCIAL DEMOCRACY.
Charter for Organization of Club
Signed by Debs Received Here

The first official charter for a Social
Democracy club in Kansas, signed by
Eugene V. Debs, has been received by
G. c. Clemens, who is pushing the or
ganization in various parts of the state.
The first club. which will be known as
Kansas branch No. 1, will be organized
at Topeka. The officers are as follows:
President-C. c. Hogue, a clerk in the
state treasurers office.
Vice presidential. a. Waterman, deputy
bank examiner.
Secretary-CIarence AIiley, assistant su-
preme court reporter.
Treasurer-Otis Allen. son of the asso-
ciate justice and assistant supreme court
reporter.
Organizer-L. A Stebbns, a Topeka at
torney, who was a candidate for district
judge last year against Judge Hazen-
The club is composed almost entirely of
men who are connected with the state
government in some way.
When Debs comes to Topeka this club
will look after him and some of the Of
hcers will accompany him to points in
southeastern Kansas, where an effort will
