weighs but l22 pounds and has no as

with her large family except what the
older children give her which is now

AN ECONOMIC LEAGUE.
An Association for the Study of Civic and
Economics To Be Formed in this City.

In this age of great progress, when
changes in our industrial, political and
social systems are revolutionary III
their development, when invention
and other sources are changing the
manner and methods of doing the
worlds work, when trusts, combines
and monopo1ies are assuming such
vast proportions, all should feel the
need of such information on the live
practical questions as shall enable
them to act wisely in the discharge of
their important duties as citizens. The
University association, of Chicago, is
organizing the Economic League, with
centers all over the country, for the
purpose of giving all an opportunity to
gain correct and unbiased information
on the great economic and social ques-
tons.
The University association has been
doing lines of university extension
work for the past four years, securing
as instructors the very best talent from
the leading colleges and universities of
this country and Europe. Courses of
instruction have already been given in
Universal History, Universal Liter
allure, ETC., to nearly 10000 members,
representing over $4,000 classes. The
course in Political Economy, Political
Science and Sociology is under the
immediate supervision of Prof. Rich
ard T. Ely, Phi. D., Ii. D., director of
the School of Economics in the Uni
versity of Wisconsin, assisted by a
large number of recognized specialists
of this country and Europe. A center
is being formed in Kenosha for the
study of this course. It covers the live
practical questions of the day and
should be taken by every person inter
ested in good citizenship. The plan is
to furnish a systematic course of
printed lectures for daily reading les
sons. The class then meets once a
week and reviews and discusses the
lessons they have read. In addition
there will be lecture course on practi
cal questions by the very best local
talent that can be secured.
In fact the plan is to bring univer-
sity instruction within the reach of all,
that they may have the benefits of the
results of the profound study and in
vestigation of the trained specialists
of the world and thus'prepare them for
the highest ideal of American citizen
ship.
Mr.. J. L. Johnston is representing
the association in this vicinity.

Town Lots in New Towns.

Merchants, Doctors, Lawyers and all
classes of profession, business or trade
who are looking to change of 1oca
ton, will find it to their material
advantage to secure their new 1oca-
tons at one of the new towns on the
lines now being constructed by the
Chicago & Northwestern Railway.
They are in sections of the country
that have hitherto been without ade-
quate railroad and proper market
facilities.
The surrounding country is enorrn-
ous1y rich. and the towns are all bound
to be thrifty and prosperous. Any OF
them will prove a sure money maker
for speculation or business location.
These towns are all owned and
managed by the Railroad Company
and the original low prices still prevail
as an inducement to settlement.

THE PASSION PLAY.
An Interesting Entertainment at ST.
James Church Last Evening.

One of the most interesting enter
tainments ever given in the city was
the exhibition of the moving pictures
representing the Passion play at
Omeromagau. The entertainment
proved a drawing card and a large
crowd were in attendance. During the
early part of the entertainment a large
number of miscellaneous pictures were
displayed which were favorab1y re-
ceived by the audience. The evenings
enjoyment closed with the presentation
of the pictures of the famous play,
representing the life and sufferings Of
Christ from his birth to the time of the
crucifxion. A lecturer was in attend
ance and explained the pictures by
giving a history of the famous play
and a little talk on the life of the
simple German folk who have carried
out this beautiful custom for so many
years. During the presentation of
the pictures a number of vocal solos
were rendered by Miss Julia Young, of
Chicago, and this added much to the
pleasures of the evening.

MILWAUKEE tried to prevail upon
Admiral Dewey to visit it, but failed.
Then it got up a reputation for itself
by entertaining the President and re-
peated its attempt with the Admiral
with the same result. What do you ex-
pect is the trouble? Maybe some of the
names conspicuous in the Presidents
reception savored too much Of some
others that the Admiral met with al
Manila. But since New York didn't
stop him it don't seem likely that
Milwaukee could. We have an idea
that Admiral Dewey is going to take
time enough to wholly recuperate his
strength and health before visiting the
west in order that he may be in better
condition to enjoy its unstinted hos
pita1ity.
