Since the present officers of the city
court took charge of their offices on
April 18th that court has done an un-

cases were filed during the intervening
two and one-half months than during the
whole year previous to April 18th. ard
with the exception of 10 cases which still
remain on docket all that have been fled
have gone through the legal mill.
In all, 10 cases have been flied with
the clerk of the city court since the first
day Of April. OF these 35 were criminal
cases and 81 were civil cases. The Grim
inal cases ranged all the way from
charges of petty thieving TO house-break-
ing and robbery, and Judge Alexander
has sent criminals in large numbers to
both the county Jail and the Reforma-
tory However. the majority of those
charged with criminal offences were re-
leased with fines In the two and one
half months six juries were drawn, which
is a larger number than ever before in
the same length of time. Few cases have
been appealed from the decision of the
city court. and the greater number of

where the decision was rendered against
the railroads. The larger number of the
criminal cases were for petty thieving
and stealing, and those against whom the
charges were brought were usually boys
or young men, many of them negroes
There was great amount of stealing in
the city last spring, and the docket shows
that nearly all of the offenders find their
way into Judge Alexanders court.

MISS BRlAN'S LIFE WORK.
To Be Second Jane Adams is Her
Ambition.

Chicago, Aug. 23 Mrs. W. J. Bry-
an and daughter, Miss Ruth Bryan,
left tonight for their home at Lin
coin, Neb., after having spentseveral

of the trip was a visit to the Hull
House settlement at Halsted and
Polk streets, an institution support.
ed by charities for the benefit of the
poorerclasst s and conducted by Miss
Jane Addams, the noted sciologist.
1t is the intention OF Miss Bryan to
take up the settlement work, becom.
ing member of the Hull house staff
early IN the fail.
Miss Bryan, who is 10 years ofage,
is the eldest daughter of William
Jennings Bryan. She has been a
studentat the University of Nebraska
during the past ten years. She is a
young woman OF unlimited energy
and with an ambition to accomplish
something in the way Of assisting
the class Of children iostered by Mics
Addams and Others interested in
such work.
The Hull house was founded in a
small way through the efforts OF Miss
Addams about ten years ago, and
with the assistance OF wealthy and
philanthropic people has extended in
scope until it has become one OF the
leading factors in sociological work
in the country. Miss Bryan and her
mother have been deeply interested
In the settlement for a long time, and
while the position will involve some
thing Of q sacrifice to Miss Bryan,
she feels that she will be engaged in
pleasant and meritorious work.
