DARLINGTON BOOTH HERE.
Tells the Santa Fe Shopman q Story
During His Talk.

Ballington Booth, commander of the
Volunteers of America, addressed 300
men at the Santa Fe shops at noon
under the auspices OF the r. r. Y M
c. a. He is a magnetic speaker and
won sympathetic attention.
He was glad to look in the faces and
clasp the toil-worn hands of the work
ingmen. THE trouble is" he said,
I'VE have been putting religion a little
too high up among the steeples and we
want to bring it down into the pews.
Preachers have been preaching too
much above mems heads and their
bring it within their reach The Vol
unteers of America believe in taking
Christianity into the gutter and help

Some of you can sing, some can play
an instrument. We would have you
utilize this for the Lord. When Christ
was on earth he did not go among the
high ecclesiastics, but among the COM
mon people, and they heard him gladly.
1t was by the wayside, at the we'll of
Samaria, that he spake those wonder
full words to a common woman.
Il am like the man who had studied
French little, but had such difficulty
on a certain occasion, where all the
people he met addressed him in French,
he was perpleXed and could make Moth
ing of it. The next morning when he
heard a rooster crow he said, Thank
God, there is English once more
$50, my friends, I am among philoso-
piers one day, theologians another and
theosophists perhaps the next. but when
I looked into your faces said, Thank
God, here are the common people once
more
At the close Commander Booth played
on his accordion a selection from II
Trovatore'' and the variations of
Home, Sweet Home
y snapshot picture was then taken of
the crowd by his assistant, three cheers
were called for the Santa Fe men, then
three for Commander Booth and the
American Volunteers After inviting
the men to come to Hamilton hall to-
night the meeting was adjourned.

FAIR BUT COLDER.
This is Mr. Jennings Prediction for
the Weather Tomorrow.

There is 13 degrees difference between
the weather today and that of yester-
day. At 2o'clock this afternoon the
thermometer registered IL degrees
above, with the wind from the south
west, a clear sky and plenty of sun
shine. 1t is just as predicted by Mr..
Jennings and the weather bureau yes
terday, and is altogether a pleasant
January day.
With the exception of stating that the
weather tomorrow will be fair, the pre-
diction sent out today by the weather
bureau gives no information of the
kind of day to be expected. Mr.. Jen-
nings, however, comes to the rescue of
the reputation of his fellow seers, and
says that in all proba bility tomorrow
will be much colder. The wind, he
says, is this afternoon edging around
towards the north, and he thinks by to-
morrow it will be in that quarter.

COMPANY'S BOOKS STOLEN,
Another Scandal in Connection With
Bank of Illinois Failure.

Chicago, Jan. 6-New and startling COM
plications are forthcoming as the result
OF the National Bank of Illinois failure
Col. w V. Jacobs. who conceived the
Calumet Electric railway and was forced
out of control in 1898. is unable to push
claims against the officers of the National
Bank of Illinois. because all papers and
books relating to his connection with the
Calumet Electric railway have been sto-
len.
According to Colonel Jacobs, the crime
was committed by one of his confidential
clerks against whom a charge Is now
pending in the United States court Claim
is made that the theft of the papers in
his possession was the sequel of q con-
spiracy which promises sensational de-
VeIopments. In addition to the signifi-
canoe attached to the stolen papers in re-
lation to the failure OF the National I2ank
of Illinois. the publication of a duplicate
foreign exchange credit for the defunct
bank to Colonel Jacobs places an entirely
new phase upon the suit which is now
pending in regard to the sale of the En-
sleWood and Chicago Street Railway cons
pany. The printing of two fac SMILES of
the credit is expected to lead to the con-
viction of the culprit, who is charged with
the theft.
The significance attached to the MISSING
papers and books far as the National
Bank of Illinois is concerned. is that they
support Colonel Jacobs claims and em-
brace his judgments against the National
Bank of Illinois former owner OF the
Calumet Electric road.
