reached? and they all adjourn without
satisfactorily answering the question.
Possibly people of wealth enjoy be-
ing preached to as the wealthy class
Possibly the highly educated, the ad-
mittedly refined and cultured, enjoy be-
ing preached to as educated, refined and
cultured. Be that as it may l am posi-
tive that the poor do not enjoy being
addressed as the poor.
THE Methodist church was designed
for people-rich people and poor people;
educated people and uneducated people;
cultured and uncultured. But l do not
believe it was ever the design Of God
or man that it should be the church of
one to the exclusion of the others In
my judgment, the only way to keep it
the church of all is to stop drawing dis
tinctions between the sons of men.
This country of ours has gotten along
pretty i thus far without class dis
tinctions, and God grant that this great
church, outnumbering in membership any
other Protestant body, with more uni
versities, more colleges, more academies,
more seminsries than any, with well
nigh as many as any other two-God
grant that this great branch of the
church, designed to preach the gospel to
man without distinction as to social
financial or moral conditions, may see to
it that within its borders there shall be
neither rich nor poor, high nor low, bond
nor free"

CHICAGO TO OWN RAILROADS.
Dunne's Election to Mayora1ty Makes
This Certainty.

The victory of Judge Edward f.
Dunno in Chicago, when he was elected
by about $4,000 majority to succeed
Carter Harrison as Mayor, means much
for municipal ownership. He ran on a
platform for city ownership and opera
ton of street railroads and so pronounc-
ed is sentiment in favor of this plan
that his chief opponent, John NJ. Har-
Ian, also stood for it, though on a more
conservative basis. DUNES election is
the greatest victory municipal ownership
ever won.
Concerning his plans Judge Dunno
says:
First, l will appoint corps of ex-
pert engineers to make a careful survey
of all the street railways in the city, so
that we will know just how the city.
when it secures control of the lines, will
be able to handle the proposition. This
will take time, but l believe that before
many months you will see the city of
Chicago owning and operating at least
one street railway line.
THE traction question depends in a
great measure on the action of the
courts, but in cases where legal proceed
ings are pending l will endeavor to bring
about an immediate settlement. OF
course, it will be years before the city
will come into possession of all the street
railway franchises of Chicago, but we
will gradually assume control of the diff
ferent lines and in time l sincerely be-
lieve the day will come when the people
will control the entire street railway
system of Chicago"
Chicago will spend S100,000,000 in
purchasing the railroads rights aud as
sets.

GROWTH OF THE AUTOMOBILE.
U. S. Has as Many as France and Great
Britain mbined.

Last year there were imported into the
United States 600 foreign-made automo-
biles, at q valuation of $3,G00,000. While
the number of cars imported was greater
than in the previous year, the percentage
of increase did not keep pace with the
increase in the total number used. On
the other hand, we exported last year
about 100000 worth of cars, largely
of the runabout type, which seems to be
finding favor in Europe. 1t is not likely
that this sum will be greatly increased
until after the manufacturers have
caught up with the home demand-a not
very immediate contingency-and have
a surplus on hand which must seek a
market. About $4,000 automobiles were
made in this country, valued at nearly
$30,000,000. At the close of 1904 there
were about $4,000 automobiles in use
throughout the country-as many as in
France and Great Britain combined AS
it is estimated that about 80. 900 will
be made and sold during 1905, the close
of the year should show one automobile
in use to every. thousand inhabitants.
New York now leads with 1880 licensed
automobiles. New Jersey has 1900 and
Massachusetts, 6,600. The East leads in
their use; the West leads in their pro-
duction. The State of Michigan is the
largest producer, the other lres fol
lowing in the order named-Ohio, Wis
consin, Mass8 chusetts, New York, In
diana, Pennsylvania, Connecticut, lii
nois and Missouri.

CHICAGO TRANSFERS. STRIKE

The spirit with which the teamster
strike has been conducted against Mont

contest with the authorities similar to
the one in june. 1902, in which this
same organization was involved
Saturday was one of exciting incidents
from early morning until late in the af-
ternoon. III which the police and strik-

many encounters, and though clubs were
freely used by the police and missiles of
many kinds were hurled by the oppos-

Police, with drawn clubs, attacked a
mob of 5000 men, women and boys who
had surrounded an express wagon liz
Madison street just west of Wabash ave-

police and returned the attack Boys
armed with clubs and men with stones
assaulted the officers. Several men and
boys were dubbed by the police and
women ran screaming into the stores to
escape the violence. The crowd was
finally b -sten back and the wagon con-

An unusual missile was introduced in
another locality. Egg shells containing

of the dangerous missiles the police

The Chicago Employers Association

injunction.

first husband was William Weightman,
DR., the son of the venerable millionaire
and it was in behalf of the four daugh-

his entire wealth going to his daughter,

and this is declared to be the reason for
her giving up the fight. Mrs. Wakes

Mrs. Wister's surrender is because her
lawyers have reported that she has no
grounds for suit. For years and years

at swords points. Mrs. Wister was ut

millionaire, but Mrs. Walker seems to
