EVERY SALOON SHUT UP AT MIDNIGHT
EXCITEMENT AMONG PROPRIETORs
Chicago, Dec. 30.-An saloons were closed as
tight as drums tonight for the first time since
the present Mayor, Carter II. Harrison, has held
office
Chicago got taste of the blue laws. and the
men sitting Grand Jurors in the Criminal
Courts Building, through their deliberations and
exposures, were charged with the responsibility
for the great change.
The orders closing the saloons emanated from
Chief of Police Joseph Kipey's office. and were
read to every police officer detailed night
duty at evening roll call.
Captains and lieutenants, in addressing their
subordinates, told them the order was ION the
square"
The attempts of the officers to impress upon
the prOpretors OF all liquor establishments that
the law must be obeyed brought laughter and
ridicule upon them until 1t apparent the
patrolmen IN question were not joking.
In the business section of the city the men
who conduct all night resorts were nonplussed
They hurried to the City Hall, the homes of
Aldermen and high police officials, asking each
and all of them If the order applied to their
respective places.
No nook or corner in the city is neglected by
the order and every saloon was closed tightly.

If man does good happiness will come,
| but it is not held up as a reward. Con-
fucianism holds that good is sufficient
in itself. / am free to confess that Con-
/ fucianism is not so catchy and fascin-
ating a religion as some others with an
elaborate scheme of glorious rewards,
but | tell you that it is the highest form
of civilization and humanity. The world
is gradually coming to Confucius. One
of the signs is the growth of agnosti-
cism. I will not say whether people are
growing more callous or more civilized,
but they are no more terrified when the
/ terrors of the next world are proclaimed
fom the pulpit. Another sign is the
progress the cause of universal peace is
making among the nations of the world.
Five hundred years before Christ Con-
fucius had already begun preaching the
gospel Of peace. The Chinese people
turned to peace and learned that peace
hath victories no less renowned than
those Of war
THE cause may not look hopeful at
present, but the conference at The
Hague is an earnest of what may yet
come. I regard the growing desire
among the nations of the earth for uni
versal peace as a tribute to Confucius.
Confucianism has spread to the Japan
ese and Corea, but the sword was never
employed to spread it. No trail of
blood marks it's progress. Confucian-
N appeals to human sympathy in it's
aspirations. Its power is not obtained
by by terror, but by the voluntary sub
mission of The heart

A VERY PLEASANT BIRTHDAY
CELEBRATION.

The ladies' orchestra which was or
ganized last year gave a birthday sur
prise last Wednesday evening to the
president of the organization, Miss Ella
Shuster, daughter of John Shuster, the
dry goods merchant on State street.
The special occasion for the visit was
the fact that it was Miss Sinister s
birthday. A fine programme of music
was rendered and refreshments were
served and all had a delightful time.
The orchestra will meet this evening
at the home Of another of it's members,
Miss Helen Johnson LIT York street.
Miss Johnson is an accomplished solo
violinist and is considered a fine access
sion to the orchestra. Miss Gussie Geb-
hard, cornet soloist is another new and
important accession to the orchestra.
The orchestra was started by Mrs.
Schermer and has an enViable record
for very successful work.
