Salvationists Have Novel Plan for
Regeneration in Chicago.
Drunkards are TO receive in Chicago

ton never bestowed on them since dip
somania overlook the descendants of the
occupants of Eden'S garden. A stretch
er corps is being organized by the Sal
walton army for relief work among the
victims of strong drink Before the frost
has scared the autumn leaves the work
will be fully organized and in full blast.
The gutter soaks" will have found a
friend. They will be picked up in the
night, when Irresponsible and not able
to care for themselves, and in the morn
ing instead of receiving S. fne-to be
worked out in the bridewell-they will
be given hve-minute lectures Oh the evils
OF drunkenness-the lecturers being the
Salvation army officers who found them
intoxicated the previous evening and plac-
ed them in free beds where they might
sober up.
Equipped with streachers the squads
Of officers constituting the drunkards'
rescuers will make the rounds of the
squalid districts of the city at night,
pick up those who appear to be complete
~ overcome with liquor and carry them
to one of the seven hotels maintained by
the Salvation army in Chicago and in
which more than 100000 guests were
accommodated last year.
In every hotel or home maintained by
the Salvation army a number of rooms
will be set aside for the special purpose
Of accommodating the inebriated persons
who may be brought in by the stretcher
corps in the night. After they have re-
vived their names and addresses will be
taken. If they have homes and are
susceptible of influence and approach, an
acquaintance will be formed and social
visits made at their residences In this
way the nucleus will be laid for further
work, which, the army authorities be-
lieve, will ripen into an effective scheme
of reform.

the course of trade and general indus
try this week. Although the movements,
as for time past. are along conserva-
tive lines, the undertone is more optimis-
tic than at any previous time this sea-
son. Notable features are the improve
ment in iobbing trade at nearly all west
ern points in dry goods, shoes, groceries,
millinery, hardware, paints and drugs.
Reports of better collections are general,
Pacific coast trade shows some eXpan-
sion, though heavy rains in California
have been damaging TO grapes, raisins
and vegetables. Water transportation to
the eastern seaboard is being considered.
Eastern trade shows a fairly good tone
on better industrial outlook, and the re-
ports of better trade coming from the
West and South.
Among the industries the features are
the better buying of pig iron and iirmet
prices for the furnace product. North
western advices are that the lumber cut
the coming winter Will be a light one.
Coal is more active, but bituminous
