Chicaqo's First Election.

Chicago, May 2.-Municipal officials
today Informally celebrated the sew
entieth anniversary of the first city
election, which was neld on May 2
1887. Early in that year the legis
lature approved the charter and Chi
cago, then a struggling town of 1000
became a city The first campaign
was conducted on nation party lines
with William B. Ogden, a Democrat
and John H. KinZie, a Whig as the OF
posing candidates for the mayoralty
The former was elected by a majori-
ty of IT'S in a total vote of 1890. AT
that time Chicago mad two newspa
pers, and the files show that the first
campaign in this city was quite as
heated and at times vindictive as that
recently waged by the supporters OF
Busse and Dunno. The Chicago De
mocrat, published by John Calhoun
the pioneer of the city's Journalism
led the fight for Ogden, while Kinzie
was ably supported in his candidacy
by the Chicago American, Whig or
gan published and edited by Thomas
o. Davis, but bearing no relationship
to the present paper of that name.
At the time of his election Ogden was
but 80 years of age and had been a
resident of the incipient city only 2
years, coming here from New York,
where he had served in the state leg
islature. He served but one term in
the mayoralty chair.

Missionaries Hold Conference.

Shanghai, May 2.-Missiolaries sta
toned in China, Japan and other ori-
entail countries are gathering in Snan-
ghai for an emergency conference call
ed by the joint missionary societies
of the world. The meetings promises
to be the largest and most important
of its kind ever held by religious work
ers in foreign fields and was called
as a result of the crisis in the rela-
tions of the Occidelt and Orient in
the far East. The object of the con-
ference is to decide the attitude of tne
mission workers toward the move
ment now III progress among the ma
tive Christians of China and Japan
to organize their own churches and
work independently of the missiona-
ries. According to ministers station
ed in Japan, the Japanese converts
are seeking to separate themselves
from all foreign ilf1uenses in the
matter of religion in order to free
themselves from the stigma of being
declared dependent for Christian III
struction on teachers from other lands
Since the Russo-Japanese war the
converts have assumed an air of in
dependence and declare themselves as
capable of taking care of their relig-
ion as they are of protecting their ma
tional interests against the interfer-
ences of the foreign powers. Scores
of Christian churches have been or
gaized in Japan Independently of the
missionaries and the latter fear that
they will soon be driven from the field

CALIFORNIA MILITIA DIS
MISSED AS INEFFICIENT,

Sacramento, May "A sweeping
order was issued by Adjt. Gen. Lauck
yesterday, whereby ten companies of
California National Guards were mus
tered out of service for having fallen
below the standard of efficiency, and
by a general reconstruction of the
state militia the number of regiments
is reduced from five to three, each
to be full regiments of twelve compa-
MES. The dismissal of the ten compa-
MES comes as the result of investiga-
tiols which have been made by Col.
Thomas Wilhelm during the last few
months. San Francisco is more large
ly affected than any other place, and
that city is now almost without a mil
itary organization, several companies
having been dismissed some time ago
from the First Infantry, which is now
wiped out of existence.

MINISTER
INSANE?

New York. May 2.-The members
of the fashionable st. Georges Epis-
copal church at Hampstead: l.. l.,
were astonisned today when they
learned that their pastor, the Rev.
John Knode Cook, had departed from
Hampstead, and that Miss Floretta
Whaley also had left home and had
written letters saying that she would
not return. Rev. Mr.. Cooke is mar
ried to a daughter of Rienzi A. Clarke
of Hartford. Conn. She left Hemp
stead some time ago and is now at
her fathers home. That no official
cogniZance win be taken of the mys-
terious departure was made evident
from the formal statement which was
issued today by Bishop Burgess, of
the diocese of Long Island. He says
that immediate action will be taken
by the vestry of St. Georges church
to fill the vacancy caused by the de
parture of Mr.. Cooke. The vestry
Is overwhelmed by the unexpected
calamity" said Bishop Burgess, "and
is at a loss to account for it l am
inclined to believe that DIR. Cooke
cannot be of sound mind. Three years
ago ne was IN a trolley car collision,
and he has been a nervous wreck ev-
er since. He had leave of absence for
a year and went to Europe to recup-
crate, out his cOnQlIlOn since his
turn has been poor. The church and
its property are il the best of con-
dition and the funds are intact"
According to stories which circulat-
ed freely in Hampstead today, the in
fatuation of the minister for Miss
Whaley had been apparent for some
time, and was the cause of Mrs.
Cooke leaving for ner fathers home.
1t is said that the young woman's
grandmother. with whom she made
her home. became aware of the in
fatuation some time ago and asked
the minister to cease his visits to
her home. Miss Whaley left her
home several days ago, saying she
intended to visit friends in the city.
A little later the grandmother receiv-
ed a letter saying that when it was
received they would be out of the
country"
DIR. Cooke was curate at Grace
Church at Baltimore before he receiv-
ed the call to Hampstead. Miss Wha-
ley's father died a year ago, leaving
her and her elder sister an ample for
tune. 1t is said that each is worth |
$125.O0O. DIR. Cooke is Sc years old, |
and has been married for five years. |
Miss Whaley is not yet IS.
Baltimore, Md, May Rev. Mr.. |
Cooke was assistant rector of Grace |
Episcopal church at Park avenue and
Monument streets, Baltimore for five
years. going from here to Hampstead |
church as rector. He came from Ha- |
gerstown, Md. and was educated for |
the ministry at the theological semi |
nary at Gettysburg, Penn, aid Mid |
dletown Conn. His first charge was
East Haven, Conn, a suburb of New
Haven. From there he came to Balti- |
more about ten years ago, and re-
manned here ,ultil he became rector |
of st. Georges at Hampstead. L. I.
Rev. DR.. Arthur C. Powell, rector
of Grace church today expressed his
disbelief in the charges against DIR. |
Cooke His conduct here was per-
feet" said DIR. Powell. There must
be another side to the story which. /
when told, must. clear him.
