Novel Church Scheme.

Chicago, Sept 26-John H. Botid of
the First Presbyterian church of
Evanston has solved, or thinks he has
solved, the problem of filling his
church on Sunday evenings. He argues
that the roast beef sandwich is better
than preaching. If beautiful women
and splendid singing will not attract
men to service, only one thing will,
and that is the hearty meal. Conse-
quently a new plan will be tried.
This will be the program at the
church tomorrow evening:
Hot roast beef sandwiches.
Hymn No. 33S -four stanzas).
Hot coffee, chocolate, hot tea.
Brief talk by the elder.
Lobster salad, potato salad, shrimp
salad.
Patriotic hymn.
Chatting dish delicacies (prepared by
beautiful girls).
Hymn, "Blest Be the Tie That
Binds"
Olives, pickles, radishes, young
onions. ..
Doxology.
Evening services in auditorium.
Students from Northwestern uni
versity have been invited. They will
be there.

Mexico City, Sept 27.-The report
Of Mexico's monetary commissioners

the more Immediately interested points
and suggestions are the following:
In Russia, and in England especially.
the immediate establishment OF gold
standard in China is regarded as al
most impracticable.
In the monetary system That is
recommended for the purpose OF bring
ing about fixity Of International ex-
change, the price in,gold of bar silver
and the value in gold of silver'money
are absolutely disassociated, The
former may fuctuate in the market,
whereas silver money will always have
a fixed value in gold, hence the sta
bility of international exchange. This
fixed value in gold will be maintained
by lne governments in .nis mannek:
1. By the closing of the minis to the
free coinage of silver.
2. BY the fixing of a ratio between
gold and silver by the governments.
8. By the legal tender character
of the currency for the payment and
settlement. of. contracts of all Kinds.
4. By reason of its being the only
money in which duties and taxes will
be paid, as it'is supposed that tHkre
will be no gold in circulation.
S. BY limitation of the quantity. of

TRADE REPORT.

Bradstreet's report on trade last
week says: r., :
Reports Of convervatism in fall and
winter trade testify to the absence of
the spur of insistent demand which a
year ago gave the selling side such an
advantage. The fewness of car short
age complaints is evidence alike of
the later movement Of crops and OF
discrimination in orders by consum-
ers. Building activity at New York
has not been resumed in full, strikes
OF vesselmen on the lakes retard suip-
ments, and advanced freight rates and
high prices for cotton, with lack Of
correspondingly higher prices for fin
ished products, check full resumption
of operations. it -u& sf".. :
Relatively, the best reports come
from parts of the Northwest, due to
better weather and crop conditions:
the southwest, which has escaped crop
injury, and the south, where, despite
crop delay and declining cotton prices,
the general outlook is good Eastern
advices are OF fair trade, but quiet
ness in general business is noted in
New York.

TEXAS YELLOW FEVER SCARE
SEVERAL DEATHS REPORTED
FROM THAT STATE.
Expert Doctor Says Its the Genuine
Fever-40o0 People Have Fled From
Laredo, Texas-Webb County Quar-.
antined-Prominent American Died
From Fever in Monterey, Mexico.

Laredo, Texas, Sept. 29.-Yellow
fever seems to be on the increase in
this city, despite the efforts being
made to stamp it out. Two deaths and
twelve new cases were reported Mon
day.
DR.. Guiteras, in his house to house
canvass, saw many cases of fever and
at the conclusion of his days exami-
nation made the announcement that
IL OF the cases were genuine yellow
fever. Laredo presents a dead appear
ance, all those who could get away
having departed for points north of
the state Of Texas and for points
south. 1t is estimated that nearly 1000
people have fed from here since the
scare began.
A Shotgun Quarantine.
The city is now quarantined against
in all directions of the state and no per-
son can get beyond the limits of Webb
county. Otner Texas counties have es-
tablished a shotgun quarantine and
are turning back all who are endeavor-
ing to get away in coaches, buggies
and carts.
The quarantine applies to all per-
sons, freight, baggage, express, mail
or other matter originating in the city
OF Laredo, or points south, the only
person having authority to leave the
corporation limits being the health OF
ficers of the state of Texas and the
United States. The work of placing
the city in thoroughly sanitary condi-
ton is being carried on under the d.
rect supervision of DR.. Guiteras and
corps OF expert assistants.
At Nuevo Laredo.
The situation in Nuevo Laredo is un-
changed, no death or new cases having
occurred so far as can be learned. DR..
Mariana Trevino, a Mexican govern.
ment yellow fever expert in charge
there, believes that within eight days
he will have stamped out the fever.
The Mexican customs authorities have
been temporarily moved to Lampasa,
where all incoming baggage and
freight over the National railway is
examined, thus permitting trains, to
run through to Laredo, Texas, without
stopping at Nuevo Laredo.
One Death at Monterey.
Monterey, Mexico, Sept. 2S.-Dr. AL
win G. Alderman, a we'll known Ameri.
can founder of the Christian Institute,
died at his home from what is said to
be yellow fever. The authorities are
taking every precaution to prevent the
spread of the disease The schools
have been closed. The medical men
express the belief that the disease will
not spread. 1t is reported, but not
officially, that Monterey has six cases
of fever
New Cases at Tampico.
Tampico, Mexico, Sept. 2S.-Five
new cases of yellow fever have ap-
peared here, though they are of mild
form, apparently.
Refugees in Mexico City.
Mexico City, Sept 2s.-Refugees
from Wales, Victoria, Santiago, Lin
ares and Tampico, fleeing through fear
of yellow fever, are making their ap-
pearance here and the capital is the
