ceeded to a limited
extent, but the reform campaign stirred
up the powerful saloon element, which
saw that it was only question of time
when the city officials would be obliged
to enforce the law or face impeachment
and trial for wilful neglect of duty, and
so, believing that half a loaf was better
than none at all, an ordinance was
quickly drafted and placed before the
council extending the time of closing
until one o'clock. This was passed by a
narrow majority, and now it is up to
the liquor men to obey the law they
fathered. And it is expected that the
police will be specially vigilant in ar
resting offenders.

are 600 telephones whose exclusive use
is the sending and receiving of race
track reports. This constitutes sort of
secret service. The numbers and names
of the owners Of the phones are not in

The telephone company processes ig-
norance of the existence of any such
phones, and under pressure has finally
agreed to remove the instruments where
it is shown that they are used for the
sending of racing news for gambling
purposes.

Van Dine is the only one Of the "Au-
tomato trio" who has a Sunday school
record behind him. When he was a lit
tie fellow he used to go regularly, and to
church, too, with his mother. She was
quite prominent in religious work, and
taught her boy religious things; but
there was a fatal weakness in the home
training and discipline. Bad reading
and companions did the rest, and instead
OF filling a place of usefulness in the
world, he now faces the gallows for his
desperate crimes. And, face to face with
death, how easy it must be to repent.
1t is natural and logical development
for Van Dine, perhaps, because the re-
llgious instinct was inbred from his
earliest childhood. His repentance may
be genuine, and then again the young
criminals subtle>nature may be deceiv-
ing him just as he used to deceive his
mother as to his whereabouts and his
companions.

No Place for the Flag,


CONSERVATION reigns among the civil
war veterans who were ID attendance
at the annual state encampment IN
Minneapolis. During the last session:
Of the convention, the fact was brought
before the bod that no room had
been provided5at the new capitol for,
the old war flags, the relics, dear to.
the hearts Of veterans in the state
which now repose in q glass case in the
rotunda Of the old capitol building.
A petition was presentedt to. Gov. Van
SAINT, signed BY many of the most
prominent veterans in the state, ask
ing that when the flags were removed
to the new building, it might be with
all possible pomp and ceremony.
: 1t was decided to make q direct ap-
peal to the state capitol com mission for
space for the flags in the new building.
The council of administration of the
state department. of the Grand Army
was instructed to take up the matter
with the commission at once. ~.

packed house and strong sympathy of
the audience. Grand opera in Chicago
is always an uncertain quantity, as far
as audiences 60: The artists never know
whether they are going to sing to-
crowded house or to well-filled upper
galleries and empty first floor seats until
they step before the footlights.
But such is not the fate of the evan
gelist when he comes to Chicago.
Whether revival services are more to
the taste of Chicagoans than grand op-
era or not, we would not like to state,
but the fact remains that the well-adver-
tised religious meeting with its big
preacher or evangelist always draws its
crush" house.
Take it when Moody was alive and
came to town. Day after day and night
after night he packed the same building
where grand opera has been given to
comparatively small audiences, from
cellar to garrett" and then thousands
were left outside, unable to get in.
To be sure, they did not have to pay any
where from $3.50 to $3.50 per, but it has
always been observed that when Chi
cagoans go to religious meetings they
do not leave their pocketbooks at home,
tucked under the mattress, and do not
hesitate to give when the call comes.
And, taking the difference in the ex-
penses of producing grand opera and the
revival meeting, with star preacher in
cluded, the margin of profit of the lat
ter is greater than the former. ;

""eie 'Ne To Judge Parker,
the foremost "favorite SON. of New
York, there is no objection anywhere
here. He is a man of magnificent pres
ence, of high ability, stainless charac-
ter. The trouble is that to so many
he is but name This is quite to his
credit. He has not electioneered, has
made few speeches, has quietly attended
to his duties as the head of the state's
court of highest jurisdiction. His leis-
ure is spent upon his plain farm at
Esopus.
Against An instructed delegation Boss
Murphy, of New York city, the new lead
er of Tammany, has energetically pro-
tested. Whether he will be found in an
attitude of protest when the convention
meets is another matter. Hill, as Judge
Parker's close political and personal
friend, will apparently control the con-
vention, and whether the delegation is
instructed or not will matter little, per-
haps, II the unit rule is enforced.
What is rather gratifying to all par
ties locally concerned is the unexpected
ly high plane upon which party discus
sions are being maintained. Tammany
is name of different sound in the
ears of the people of the city from what
1t was three years ago. when it was for
merly In power. And for that blessed
relief the people are even now little
puzzled whether to thank the new boss
or the young mayor, George B. McClel-
Ian.
Murphy is in appearance a typical
Tammany boss. He has never been
credited with cherishing scruples in
politics or in business where they would
interfere with success. He is of good
stature, clean shaver, with firm, strong
chip and aSset jaw.

Farmers' Elevators.

Fully one hundred farmers elevators
will be built in Minnesota within the
the next year, making a total of 240 in
the state, according to the statements
OF G., E. jackson Of Buchanan, president
of the Minnesota Farmers exchange.
The latter organization is new one,
and has already sold $500, 900 of the
$500, 900 stock issue. 1t is the inten-
ton to build elevators and terminals
and begin, in short time, to handle
grain and produce. ~
Elevators will be built in parts of
the state not now supplied. The small
receiving elevators will cooperate with
the terminal elevators, and in this way
the farmers will act in way as their
own commission agents.
