by money and personal effort, by
many of the best-known people of
this city and the work has so grown

has been practically secured ON West

proposed to erect fine set of build

The Daughters of the Revolution are

promised $4,000 for a chapel to be
erected in the center of the grounds,
in which religious services of all de-
nominations may be held, the only
restriction being that no sect speak
against the beliefs Of any other.
The church will be strictly non-sec-

without a mothers meeting. It gives
me something to think about when I
am washing. I know where the chill
dren are when they are at club, and
it gives them something to talk
about. They don't tight half as much
as they did. If they go to settle
ment, nothing will keep them from

The help given by the forward
movement is not so much in the ma
ture of charity as in giving hope and
impetus to the discouraged and op-
jportunity to all. DR.. Gray says that
'"every child should have an oppor-
tunity to meet it's obligations to So
ciety." 1t is impossible for the moth
ers, burdened and environed as they
are, to train their children properly.
Perhaps they lack the necessary
knowledge. The doctor found so
many homeless, untaught, lawless
children on the West side, that he
persuaded two of them to live with
him for awhile, and induce others to
come and pass few hours in a nat
,ural, boyish manner. He was so en-
couraged by their grateful response
that the house at 221 South Sanga-
mon street was secured which has,
since that time, been the home of his

UP-TO-DATE JAPAN.
Stock Watering and Company
ElOtatiOM.

Economoic developments in Japan
during the past few years have been
very striking indeed. From native
source the Kobe Chronicle repro
duces certain figures which show
what an enormous expansion there.
has been in the capital invested in
joint stock companies since the war.
This has been specially noticeab BILE,
says the Pail Mall Gazette, in the
banking and money lending groups,
and among manufacturing companies
engaged in cotton spinning, coal and
the tobacco industries. Cotton spin
ming capital was 30,313,o0o yen in
1899, the last year for which figures
are available, and in 1895 only 1861
900. Cotton weaving capital in
creased from 100000 yen to 1885,
900. In coal mining 14,241,ooo yen
was employed against 1,o13,ooo in
1895. In tobacco 11,420,OO0 yen,
against practically nothing in 1895.
Other big increases were 4,757, 900 yen
to 100000 yen in the electrical light
ing industry, 100000 yen in machin-
cry ma1iufactory, and 4,214,0oo yen in
ship building, the two last practical
ly new industries. Sake brewing &C.
counted for 6,l22,o00 yen, against
1884, 300.
Far and away the greatest increase
is, however, in banking and money
lending, now RESPONSE BILE for 275,432,-
900 yen, against 79,37o,oO0 yen in
1895, and, if the figures are reliable,
it is not surprising that the neces'
sary competition for business has re.
suited in disaster. Taking the va
rious groups of joint stock compan'
les, we have the following compar-
isons: Agricultural companies, ac'
counted for 2,2s7,6s5 yen in 1899, an
increase of 765,0o0 yen over the 1898
figures, commercial and financial &C.
counted for 335,503,o00 yen, against
99,7s6, 900 yen in 1895, an increase of
235, 10000 yen; manufacturing for
147, 7s3, 900 yen, an increase of $685.
900 yen, and transport, sea and land,
for 19s,147,ooo yen, an increase OF
1OS, 1S6, 900 yen. It is estimated that
the increase in the. capital of joint
stock companies in 1899, as compared
with 1895, when the figures were
roughly 24e,9es,ooo yen, was 43a,722,.
900 yon. Moreover, fully 1924, 200
yen represents the increase in de.
bentures raised. In round numbers
45O, 100000 yen represents the in.
crease in the capital of joint stock
companies in Japan since the war,
or nearly IT'S per cent. ~. r. -

FORWARD MOVEMENT
A Philanthropic Enterprise of Truly
Universal Interest.
It's Purpose II the Foundation OF .
Well-Balanced Character In
Children Who Have No
Real Home Life.
Especial Chicago letter.

l0peCAaA NHlCaSO AeIteE.J
\ GREAT deal has been written
~ and said about the grand
WORK being done among the
foreign residents of the congestea
districts of Chicago, but too much
can hardly be added in praise of the
forward Movement" which, during
the last seven years, has been.
frightening and charging the
lives of the inhabitants of
the northern portion of the
crowded Nineteenth ward, the pop
ulation of which is largely American,
poor but respectable and unfortun-
ate, to which the saloon formerly Of
fered the only social meeting place.
The scope of the work is such that
it's influence must gradually extend
all over the country. If arrange
ments could be made for city chill
dren to go to the country in summer
and country children enjoy the adj
vantages of city life in winter, the
benefit would be mutual. When our
churches all open every day in the
week, and and all, rich and poor
alike, can feel an equal right to enter
and enjoy the spiritual and social adj
vantages which must, in time, be pro-
vided, then the work of DR.. George
w. Gray and many others whose eff
forts are in unison will be more gen.
orally understood and appreciated.
During the vacation season the only
playground for the children of the
poorer classes is the street, and while
that furnishes tho fresh air impos-
sible to obtain in the one room occu-
pied, perhaps, by an entire family,
they become precocious, educated in
the way of sin, and with a predom-
mating idea of making all they can
out of everybody. A poor woman
was obliged to change her home to
another portion of the city and said:
Eyes, should like to be near a
school, but would rather be near
settlement. The children want to

signed to accommodate from 5000 to
10000 weekly in the various lines of
work. DR.. Gray said the other day
that he had. planned little souvenirs
to be sold at one dollar each. Ho
lectured in a small Illinois town
the other Sunday, and at the close
of his address over. 50 people came
up and gave their names and dollars,
requesting him to send souvenirs
when printed. He. hopes to- obtain
$4,000 in this manner.
A great feature of the work is the
summer house near Saugatuck, Mich.
A park of about 500 acres has been Sc.
cured, with frontage on Lake Mich.
igan. Of this 200 acres has been set
aside, which is to be divided into lots
for summer cottages, the rental Of
which, it is expected, will furnish an
endowment fund sufficient for all ex-
penses. The management agrees with
Mr.. Armour, who once said: "No one
has right to foist upon society an in.
stitution that will mortgage the fu.
ture for its support" The settlement
and park are organized as ''Repub.ic
of Self-Control." Their senate is COM
posed of two members from each of the
boys clubs, and the house of two
representatives from each OF the girls
clubs; the president, DR.. Gray, hav-
ing the power to veto. which he has
never yet been called upon to exercise.
The children make their own laws, and
have courts in which offenders are
regularly tried and sentenced to mako
good, either in money or labor, any
damage they may have done. A saw
ings bank receives the pennies saved
by the children. Regular attendance
at club entities them to merit marks,
a certain number of which pays for a
weeks board at the park. Fathers are
especially encouraged to attend the
settlement meetings.. Here they see
their families in new light, and earn
to take pride in the progress of their
children, who are perfectly at home in
the freedom of their surroundings.
Some method is always provided by
means of which destitute mothers and
children may go to the park without
expense, but it has been found to the
advantage of those who can do so to
charge small sums for board.
DR.. Gray personally paid for the
outing of several poor women last
summer, and one day learned that
two of them had telephoned, order.

three dollars, in order to enjoy q
