Misses Alderman and Murcutt Lee
ture at Central Union Church
ParIors.

/ A large audience gathered yesterday
at the parlors of Central Union church
to listen to the lectures of Miss Ack-
erman and Miss Murcutt to women
only. Mrs DR.. Whitney introduced
Miss Alderman, who talked for nearly
an hour upon subjects pertaining to
Temperance. She spoke only in the abb
stract of her experiences in visiting
lIwilei and the saloons of the city last
Saturday night.
| She said she would not harrow the
souls of her hearers with the horrible
details of the shameful haunts of vice,
but that in all her Summing expert
ences in the cities of the whole world
she had never seen a worse state OF
affairs. She made a strong plea for
the Punishment of the sideboard, which
| she claimed is responsible for large
1 percentage of the unhappiness and
misfortune in the world. She said she
had found many young men who bore
evidences of culture and refinement
iloafing about and urged that the Chris
tan women be more hospitable toward
the strangers within the gates of the
city, as they We're large percentage,
and if not provided with some home
associations would suffer for it in the
evil influences which were always open
to all. In conclusion she admonished
mothers to make their homes "just the
safest, absolutely safest, place they
coud possibly be for their boys and
girls''
! Miss Alderman was followed by Miss
Murcutt, VINO spoke at length. She did
not feel, like Miss Alderman, that she
RI taII hn foil IF he
sights she had seen during her slum-
ming Saturday night, but wished that
every Christian man and woman might
go through the same experiences that
they might realize what horrors were
: fostered within their city. She related
personal experiences to illustrate her
views upon the culture and bringing
up of children and urged mothers to
make careful study of their children
from infancy. Tn behalf of the unfor-
tunate and fallen Miss Murcutt plead
ed for observation-disclosures and charity
she said that no matter how low OF
degraded the creature that was Great
ed in the image of God, though dis
torted from all resemblance,
Down in the human heart,
Crushed by the tempter,
!, Feelings lie buried that grace can re-
store;
Touched by loving heart
Weakened by kindness,
I Chords that were broken will vibrate
once more
The two missionaries have perfected
a plan for street meetings. They be,
lieve by going upon the street to lecture
they may reach a class of people that
cannot be reached through the
churches, and the opening meeting will
be held tonight. Miss Alderman will
lecture in the Young Mems Christian
Association hall Sunday next at D
m. Miss Murcutt will talk to the Wo-
iman's Board at Central Union on Tues
day next at 2:30 o'clock

CHICAGO wH1TEcHApEL CLUE


OF Which Jack the Ripper Was
President.
The most whimsical of all clubs. the
most desperately foolish, the most be-
quilting and impossible, was the White
chapel Club which once made Chicago
it's footstool. 1t was organized In rath-
er haphazard way by a gay band Of
young reporters, who dined together
now and then in an obscure chop
house, where they had a way OF tax
ing forcible possession. Their dinners
grew more and more frugal as the
week progressed, but they made up for
it with great splendor on pay day.
Then over the beer the spirit of mis-
chief would break loose among them
and al sorts of devices were invented
to puzzle the wise and fool the unwary
Their faVorite method was to send tele-
grams to any man or organization that
happened to be prominent at the mo-
ment. The question or a signature
came up early in the game, and it was
then that the cognomen of the club
was hit upon. Jack the Ripper was
at that time carrying things with a
high hand in the Whitechapel district
in London, and the absurd idea enter
ed some one, of these rather added
heads of making him president of the
club. From that moment until its eX-
tinction. Jack the Ripper held that
honorable position, and the officer in
actual command was known as the vice
president. Then. every pay day, when
the club was flush, a stream of tele-
grams was poured forth-telegrams of
congratulation or criticism or rebuke,
as the case might be. And the mys-
terious name of the club became
familiar long before it had a local hap-
itation. The kilograms We're always
taken seriously, moreover. A solemn
protest to some Congressman against
his vote on the tariff or tin plate would
be answered by serious and long ex-
PLANTATION, followed with q lombard
ment of Congressional Records. The
women's declarations would defend their
position at great length, and the fiat
tered diplomats whose ineomprehensI-
bic course was deliberately commended
would send complacent assurances Of
their distinguished consideration.
Sometimes the arguments of the
Whitechapel Club would be refuted,
scorned, or repudiated, but they were
always accepted as genuine.-Lippin-
. colts.

Prosperity and the Trusts.

During the last five years business con- fidence has been restored and the Nation is to be congratulated because of its present abounding prosperity. Such prosperity can never be created by law alone. although 1t is easy enough to de- stroy it by mischievous laws. If the hand of the Lord is heavy upon any country, if flood or drought comes, human wisdom is powerless to avert the calamity. More over, no law can guard us against the consequences of our own folly. The men who are idle or credulous. the men who seek gains not by genuine work with head or hand but by gambling in any form, are always source of menace not only to themselves but to others. If the business world loses it's head, it loses what legislation cannot supply. Funda- mentally the welfare of each citizen, and. therefore, the welfare of the aggregate of citizens which makes the Nation must rest upon individual thrift and energy, resolution and intelligence Nothing can take the place of this individual capacity; but wise legislation and honest and in- telligent administration can give it the fullest scope. the largest opportunity to work to good effect
 The tremendous and highly complex in- dustriaI development which went on with ever accelerated rapidity during the lat ter half of the nineteenth century brings us face to face at the beginning of the twentieth. with very serious social prob lems. The old laws, and the old customs which had almost the binding force of law, were once quite sufficient to regulate the accumulation and distribution of wealth. Since the industrial changes which have SO enormously increased the productive power of mankind, they are no longer sufficient.
 The growth of cities has gone on beyond comparison faster than the growth of the country, and the upbuilding of the great industrial centers has meant startling increase. not merely in the aggregate of wealth, but in the number of very large individual, and especially of very large corporate, fortunes. The creation of these great corporate fortunes has not been due to the tariff nor to any other govern mental action, but to natural causes in the business world, operating in other countries as they operate in our own.
 Unwarranted Antagonism,
 The process has aroused much antagon- ism, A great part of which is wholly with out warrant, it is not true that as the rich have grown richer the poor have grown poorer. On the contrary, never be-

Interstate Commerce.

In 1887 a measure was enacted for the regulation of interstate railways, com monly known as the Interstate Commerce Act. The cardinal provisions of that act were that railway rates should be just and reasonable and that all shippers, To- calities, and commodities should be &C., corded equal treatment. A commission was created and endowed with what were supposed to be the necessary powers to execute the provisions of this act.
 That law was largely an experiment. Experience has shown the wisdom of its purposes, but has also shown, possibly that some of it's requirements are wrong. certainly that the means devised Tor the endorsements of its provisions are defective Those who complain of the management of the railways allege that establish rates are not maintained: that rebates and similar devices are habitually resorted to; that these preferences are usually in favor of the large shipper; that they drive out of business the smaller competitor; that while many rates are too low, many others are excessive; and that gross preferences are made, affecting both localities and commodities. Upon the other hand, the railways assert that the law by it's very terms tends to produce many of these illegal practices by de- priving carriers of that right of con certed action which they claim is neces- sary to establish and maintain non-dis- criminating rates.
 The act should be amended. The rail- way is a public servant. Its rates should be just to and open to all shippers alike. The Government should see to 1t that within its Jurisdiction this is so and should provide a speedy, inexpensive, and effective remedy to that end. At the same time 1t must not be forgotten that our railways are the arteries through which the commercial lifeblood of this Nation flows. Nothing could be more foolish than the enactment of legislation which would unnecessarily interfere with the development and operation of these agencies. The subject is one of great importance and calls for the earnest attention of the Congress.

The Questions of Finance.

equivocally to establish gold as the stand ard money and to maintain at a parity herewith all forms of money medium in use with us. has been shown to be timely and judicious. The price of our Govern ment bonds in the worlds markets, when compared with the price of similar obli- gations issued by other nations, Is a flat tering tribute to our public credit. This condition 1t is evidently desirable to main- tain.
 In many respects the National Banking Law furnishes sufficient liberty for the proper exercise of the banking function; but there seems to be need of better safe- guards against the deranging influence of commercial crises and financial parics. Moreover, the currency of the country should be made responsive to the demands of our domestic trade and commerce.
 The collections from duties on imports and internal taxes continue to exceed the ordinary expenditures of the Government, thanks mainly to the reduced army ex- penditures The utmost care should be taken not to reduce the revenues so that there will be any possibility of a deficit; but, after providing against any such contingency, means should be adopted which will bring the revenues more near ly within the limit of our actual needs. In his report to the Congress the Secre- tary of the Treasury considers all these questions at length. and ask your atten- tion to the report and recommendations.
 call special attention to the need of strict economy in expenditures. The fact that our national needs forbid us to be niggardly in providing whatever Is ac- tually necessary to our well-being, should make us doubIy careful to husband our national resources, as each of us hus- H.
