An Awakening in Chicago

serve the heartiest congratulations.
Tn obedience to the overwhelming de-
rhe board Of aldermen have been
compelled 10 pass an ordinance in
cIeasing the license fees for saloons
from $500 to $1,000 annually. While
his higher license, it is hoped, will
drive hundreds Of the cheaper saloons

the increa sed returns 10 the city
treasury will exceed $2.500,000. This
will result in the addition of 1000 men

Of those who fight under the American

sneered at the army and who have

crushing the Moro brigands has result

who think they see an opportunity TO
