lish as a feeble tribute to tile
memory of those who were so merci-
lessly trapped to an awful death a per-
manent dow Town memorial hospital"
Somewhere within the boundaries of the
elevated loop the proposed institution
will be located. The Iroquois Memorial
association is behind the commendable
movement, and the leaders are conf
dent OF success. The outgoing presi-
dent, James J. Reynolds, reported to
the association that it was confidently
expected that within the next 60 days
$4,000 would be raised as a nucleus
for building fund. AS the name Of
the proposed hospital implies, it's spe-
clalty would be emergency cases.
Nearly every day there are serious
cases Of injury in the congested down.
town district, where the chances of re-
covery are reduced because of the ne
cessity of carrying to the hospitals at
some considerable distance During
the time Of the Iroquois disaster the
need OF place close at hand where
the injured and the dying could be
taken for skillful treatment was felt,
and the subject of a downtown hos
pital was then preached.
An interesting thing in connection
with the lroquois fire anniversary was
the filing of the last claim to be made
against the theater company, it being
the last day of grace when such suits
could be filed. This last suit filed
makes total of 121 which have been
brought against the theater company,
and the aggregate amount of damages
| asked is $780, 900. In addition to
| these. there are 40 damage suits
against the city, aggregating $4,000,
and in New York city suits to the
amount of 100000 have just 1clc filed
| against Klaw & Erlanger.
A striking reminder of the tragedy
of year ago was the stained and tar
nished and partly consumed coins and
bills picked up on the floor of the
| theater after the fire, and which have
! been awaiting claimants, which were
turned over by the city custodian to
| Comptroller McGann. These grcwsome
relics, which include diamond weigh
ing half a carat, are valued at $3.50
and this amount, under the law, will
be added to the police pension fund.

Burnham. as

Burnham. astronomer at the Yerkes
observatory of the University OF Chi
cago, has been awarded the Lalande
gold medal by the French Academy of
Sciences. which is considered one of
the most valuable hOnors Obtainable
by astronomers. Prof Burnhams
penchant is double stars. A good many
of ChicagGs citizens have the ability
to see double, but it is not the kind of
sight which brings honor and listinc-
ton. 1t takes the eye of skilIe sci
enlist to see double stars, and Prof.
Burnham has discovered more of them
than any other living astronomer, and
it is largely in recognition of this work
that the medal was awarded to him.
Prot. Burnham has studied astronomy
all his life, but up to within few
years ago he was unknown as an as
tronomer, earning his livelihood as as
sistant clerk of the United States cir
cult court of the northern district. He
is an honorary member of the Royal
British Astronomical association, and
gold medal of this organizatio was
presented to him a few years ago.

yet this is exactly what DR.. William
NJ. Lawrence is able to do. A quarter
of century ago. lacking only year,
he came as young man to the Second
Baptist church of Chicago. Chicago
wasn't as big then as it is to-day,
neither did it have as many churches
or ministers as it has to-day. Not a
single pastor who was here to welcome
him to the city "a years ago was pres
ent to- bid him good-by. During his
long pastorate he has received 1851
persons into church membership, an
average of 152 each year OF this num-
Der he baptized 2,210, which would
give him baptism for every one Of
the 1,24S Sundays of his pastorate, and
962 over. Counting out the Sundays
of the three long vacation trips to Eu-
rope which his church gave him. and
the regular annual vacation of a
month, it would bring the average Of
his baptisms to over two per Sunday
for the Sundays in his own pulpit.
His marriage record is startling.
Twelve hundred couples have been
united in the holy bonds of matrimony
during the "a years, an average of near
ly one per week, which must have
proved very satisfactory to tie pas
tors wife, if he extended the same
generous courtesy to her which most
ministers dc by turning over the we'd
ding fees to them. In contrast to the
many weddings is a total of only $50
funerals. He made $4,000 pastoral
calls, and saw several hundred thou
sand dollars raised for the needs of the
church.

London.-Since the great success Of
the marquis of Headfort's marriage to
Rosie Boote, Of the Gaiety chorus, the
gilded youth of English society are
crazier than ever about the Gaiety girls.
Quite recently young Harcourt Powell,
son of society leader who entertains
lavishly, nearly broke his mothers
heart by presenting her with daugh-
ter-in-law from the Gaiety stage, and
at the present moment there is the wild

peers will persist in their stated resolve
to follow his example. ..->- II

Tailor-Made Servant Girls

A great change was noticeable in the
garb worn by the servants soliciting
hire at Carlisle hiring fair A few years
ago the women and girls came Haunting
into the city On hiring day in tawdry
finery of frequently ridiculous type, but
on Saturday there was none of this. In
fact, in their smart tailor made costumes

times from the ordinary city girl.-Lon-

helping Santa Claus make his
rounds, even in big city of
over 100000 people, and it certainly
is for it would. it evenly apportioned,
give to every man, woman and child
in the city $40 worth of presents with
a turkey and candy and nuts thrown in
as extras. In a family Of five this
would mean 800 Christmas, and tur-
key enough 10 last month without
for turkey hash. But the cost Of
Christmas in the vast majority of fam
lilies was represented by very much
more modest sum than this, for while
the few perhaps received diamonds and
sealskin sacques, and automobiles, and
other costly presents, the many
thought they Jared pretty well with
the few inexpensive presents, which
goes to show that Santa is rather a
partial old chap, after all. This $45,-
900 900 is easy to talk about all In a
lump, but when one begins to analyze
it what a story it tells. Think of all
the frenzied energy it took to spend
that $45OO0,0 the sleepless nights
that we're used in planning and schem-
ing to make it cover all the needs OF
the millions who were to be provided
for; think Of the joys or the disap-
pointments, the smiles or the tears
that went with every dollar Of this
Christmas money. And think, too, OF
the bills it represents, not dollar bills
but the kind of bills that come to give
one the Christmas ague. 1t is
safe to say that 80 per cent. of this
$45 000,000 is made up IF charge &C
counts. This credit system Is getting
to be great business in Chicago, and
every one Of the big State street stores
carries large and growing lists OF
charge accounts. In addition to the
credit system Of the big stores, where
the accounts have to be settled month
ly, there is vast amount of business
done by the smaller concerns on the
small payment plan. Anything from q
diamond down to a hobby horse may
now be purchased on the installmen
plan. OF this $45, 900 900 it took $500,
900 to- supply the Christmas candy; il
took $2,0OO.O00 to buy the small toys
while the modest sum of 1000 repre-.
sents the tribute to literature.

especially after they had moved to Chi

parties that the plaintiff was guilty of
misconduct with other women, and upon
one occasion named some women with

DR.. Rose declaes his wife condemned
Chicago and everything American and
praised Canada until it became the talk
of the neighbOrhood for six or seven
years-this for the purpose of injuring
her husbands business. He says she
would not permit him to read after she
had retired; that at various and numer-
GUS times she threatened to shoot him,
and at one time he had to take the re-
volver and lock it up to prevent her, as
he believed, from shooting him, she in
her rage and anger declaring: Il will

Changes Radish Into Potato.

Paris.-M. Molliard, wel1-known
French botanist, has discovered the
way to turn radishes into potatoes. He
takes young radish, "Pasteurizes" it,
plants it again, and it grows up potato.
The process by which this TRANSFORMED
ton is accomplished is, briefly, as fol-
lows:
The young radish is cultivated in q
glass retort in solution of glucose in
vented by Pasteur. Under this treatment
it loses it's pepperiness, the starch cells
are developed and the result is a vege-
table which has not only the taste Of the
potato, but all of it's nutritive qualities.

the various items for Christmas
green's for decorative purposes, cut
flowers ard blooming plants and
rare ferns given as gifts. One
novel and popular feature of the florist
trade this year has been the floral
baskets. These are beautifully prepared
baskets of growing flowers and mixed
ferns. The demand has been created
primarily by reason of the fact that
in the steam-heated apartment houses
which are so numerous throughout the
city, cut flowers quickly wilt and lose
their beauty almost before they can
be used for decorative purposes on the
table. But the floral baskets contain
not only the blossoms. but the plants
as we'll, and with care these pretty and
fragrant diminutive gardens can be kept
in excellent condition, and with special
care they may be kept all winter with
their responsive blooms as the reward
OF loving attention. Florists are proud
of Chicago as flower-loving city In
the past ten years it has become the
greatest market in the country for
flowers. In rose and carnation grow
ing and shipment Chicago easily holds
the supremacy, and it. is said that she
is rapidly gaining cuA.1rol of the trade
in violets and lilies CT all kinds as
we'll. Withi2 the limits of the city
alone there are fully 50 acres of flow
ers under glass, and all through the
suburbs there are dozens of florists
establishments really belonging to Chi
cago. which would bring the tcta, acre
age up to 500.

BUSINESS DISHONESTY.

w. r. Curtis, writing in the Record
Herald, has shed some light on the real
struggle that is going on among the
directors Of the Equitable Life Assur-
ance Company, and in a measure ex-
plains why the directorates Of several
Of the big New York life insurance
companies contain the names of the
conspicuous railroad magnates. The
fight for control of the Equitable is
merely a fight of one faction against
another to cotrol the investments Of
millions upon millions Of insurance
trust funds.
Curtis shows that ths three big COM
panies, the Equitable, the New York
Mutual, and the New York Life, have
invested eighty-five millions of their
assets in the stocks and bonds Of Mr..
Cassatt's railways. 1t is little wonder
that Mr.. Cassatt figures as director
in these companies. Nearly seventy
eight millions have been invested by
these same companies In the securities
of Mr. vanderbilt's railroads. about
sfifty-eight millions in Mr.. Harriman's
roads and over ninety three millions
in Mr.. Morgan's roads. Mr.. Cassatt,
Mr. Vanderbilt. Mr.. Hartman and Mr..
Morgan very naturally figure promi
nently on the directorates Of these
three companies.
Figured differently. these four men
working in harmony, have secured the
investment of over niletv-three mil
lions or nearly one-third Of the entire
resources of the Equitable in the
stocks and bonds o. the railroads
which they control. In the Mutual
Life these same four men have In
vested two-fifths of the total re-
sources or over 100 Millions in their
