CHICAG0'S CHURCHES
0ne-sixth of the Total Population
Attended Divine Worship
Last Sunday.

Chicago. Aug. 25.-For the purpose Of
ascertsiniug what proportion of the
population OF Chicago attends church
on Sunday, the Record Herald yester-
day made a count Of the men and wo-
men at the larger places of worship
within the city The general results
follow:
Men at church. 1854: women at
church. l23,723; total, 2G4, So. Men in
chicago, s62,15 women in Chicago,
10 $50: total. I,2S9.si5
Percentage: Men at church. 1874:
women at church, Il: men and women
at church. lbs
The total number Of churches in Chi
cago, according TO the city directory
for 1902. is s66. Manifestly II would be
impossible TO count the attendance at
all of these churches, except by elabOr-
ate preparation. one hundred and
twenty-five leading churches were
therefore selected and a careful count
was made of the people present. with
the following results: Men. 26.9fS; Wo-
men, Al, pa; total. So. 1873.
1t was decided, after a study OF sta
tistics, that a conservative estimate of
the total number in attendance at all
the churches of the city yesterday
would be three times the numbers
counted.
To determine the percentages that
these numbers bore to the total adult
population of Chicago, the United
states census of 1900 was used as a ba-
sis As the population increased at the
rate Of 5.44 per cent. annually between
1900 and 1902, II was considered that
the population for 1902 could reason
ably and cOnservatively be considered
10 per cent greater than it was in
1900, and the percentage computations
were made on this basis

CALIFORNIA REPUBLICANS.
Convention Organized After a Fierce
Struggle.

Sacramento. Cal. Aug. 25.-The Re
publican state convention was organ
lied today by the election of Lieuten-
ant Governor Jacob H. Neff chairman
over Congressman Victor H. Metcalf
The ballot stood: Neff, 1884; Metcaif
1851.
The close vote attests that the strug-
gle was one of the most strenuous in
the history of the Republican party in
this state Neff was supported by the
Flint, Edison and Hayes forces and
Metcalf was backed by the Gage-Par-
dee followers. The Neff people claim
that the capture of the organization
by them insures the defeat of Governor
H. T. Gage for denomination. It is
pointed out by the Gage men that
Nef's success was due to his personal
popularity and that it was not square
test of Governor Cages strength.
After forming an organization, the
convention took a recess until 7:30 p. m
Committees were appointed at the
session tonight and adjournment was
taken until tomorrow.

the forcing of q passage During the
ensuing period mines and Instructions

conditions of war are to be followed as
closely as possible.

after which adjournment was taken.
In his message Governor Nash calls
attention TO the act. passed last May.
depriVing the supreme court Of nearly
all the appellate jurisdiction formerly
possessed by the court The repeal OF
the act Is recommended. Continuing,
the message says:
During the last days of June the
supreme court of the state handed
down several decisions which practical
~ deprived our municipal corporations
of all government. II is apparent that
this is an extraordinary occasion which
needs remedy at the earliest possible
moment. Constitutional government
must be restored to our cities and vii
lagos. The labor demanded of US is not
so much a work Of construction as of
readJustment. The question now is not
what we think would be a model mu-
nicipal government. but what we can
get considering the constitutional linn
itations and all the circumstances sur
rounding US. The task must be ap-
preached with a spirit of give an1
take and with a determination to ae-
complish something which viii bring
order out of chaos. It is time enough
to attempt to have our favorite ideas n
regard to municipalities Incorporated
into law after order has been restored
and when the general assembly has
ample time at its regular session 20
discuss and consider them"
The governor traces briefly the his
tory of constitutional government Of
municipalities in Ohio. advises that the
legislature ignore the requests for

a municipal code bill. the enactment of
