Sully-Prudhomme and a hot of other distinguished Frenchmen-of letters to arrange for a solemn festival to glorify Mme. Sarah Bernhardt. M. Sardou presided at the Inaugural meeting of the committee, at which a plan was approved for a luncheon Djr Mme.

"Deacon fcrodle," as It will be . presented tonight at the Grerri. 1 a unique production written by Robert Louis Stevenson and W. E. Henley. It will be played by E. J. Henley, a brother of on of the authors, supported by a company specially selected by him. Mr. Henley was present during the writing' of the play and rehearsed many of the scenes as they came from the pens of the authors. The cry of the theater-goer is ever for hih class, pure drana. The answer to that cry is such a play as "Deacon Brodle." And the proof that this Is fo is to bo found In the stern moral which It teaches, without preaching, from the rle of the curtain to the end of the last act. The word "Deacon' as used in the tltli means not an officer of the church, but a. master carpenter who perverts his skill In his trade to become a burglar. He Is young, loved by a noble woman, by a beautiful and tender sister, an aged father, and on his downfall they suffer as only loving, trusting hearts can. The main incident of the story la founded on fact. The enxatfement is for three rMeht an1 two popular matinees to-morrow and Wednesday. English's will have for its attractlcn to-night a popular favorite in comedian George W. Monroe, who will be seen in his latest success, "A Happy Llttla Home." Monroe is one of the funniest in his line on the stage. He has surrounded himself with very able arslstants in the laugh-making lire, several of whom have been at the head of their own companies in times past. The female portion cf the company is said to be unusually attractive and the costumes very elaborate, especially In the cases of Dorothy Drew and Minerva Burroughs, whose gowns were all made in Paris by the celebrated Worth establishment. In "A Happy Little Home." which Mr. Monroe Is to present, he has succeeded in Injecting any quantity of side-splitting situations, convulsing dialogue, catchy music, which will be sung by as pretty a bevy of girls as one cares to see. There will be matinees to-morrow and Wednesday. The advance rale for the engagement cf the Bostonlans at the Grand next Friday and Saturday will open this morning at the Pembroke Arcade. The opening opera will be "The Bohemian Girl." Friday night. "Robin Hood" is the Saturday matinee bill, and "Fiinc? Anaulaa" will tw ting Saturday night. Extravagant language Is unnecessary to sound the praises of this perfect organization. For a long time they have hell undisputed sway in the light opera field, and they will easily remain first. The presentation of the three opema here wl!I be made on a most elaborate scale, with special scenery and accessories. Tie names of Henry Clay Hurnabee, William II. Mac Donald, Jessie Bartlett Davis.

May Von Drtsrer and R. If. Burnside are nncted with the greatest triumphs of native light opera with this organization. The Fark has a week of elaborately-staged melodrama, beginning this afternoon, when Davis and Keogh's "On the Mississippi" opens lt i-ng-expected engagement. The action takes place in the mountains of Tennessee and In New Orleans. Sore of the most Important scenes are placed In New Orleans at the time of the Mardl Gias carnival, when certain leading personages of the play. In order to serve purposes they have In view, assume masks and fantastic costumes. This background of gayety adds effect to the mire t-itous side of the performance. Another lenient of rare pk-turesqueness Is the Ku Klux Klan, mhich is shown In the chase and attempted execution of an Innocent man. A performance In a floating theater, an attack on a jail and many events In town and country, by river and mountain, fill out a drama that is strikingly effective. Abundant fun is contributed by comic characters. noel specialties and a pickaninny band. Hyde's Comedians and MUs IleJene Mora commence a week's engagement at the 1'mpire thi afternoon.

THE DUTY OF THE VOTER
MUST TO-MORROW GIVE A REDUKn TO THOSE WHO I.CITK 11IOT. Her. Dr. niltaona Sermon nt First lluptlst Church Itev. Dr. LnIy on "Pulpit and Politics." As usual At the First Baptist Church there were large congregations both morning and evening yesterday, and elaborate musical programmes were rendered. In the morning the pastor. Rev. D. J. Ellison, preached from Acts 111, 1, taking as his subject, "The Day After Pentecost." He spoke In part as follows: "The power of God i3 not shown so much in rounding planets. In building castles of domes and pillars, magnificence among the sunset clouds and in painting the color of the roso as It is in what it does for men. No man can have any conception of the sublimity of Divine energy until ho sees it sweep, in all Its fullness, through every faculty and along every nerve of the human soul. It is in building up Christian manhood in men that God is seen to be strongest and best. Not whirling worlds, nor blazing suns, nor tempest shocks, but sanctified and glorified souls are God's masterpieces. Tho Ufa of the Apostle Peter Is a striking proof of what God can do for a man. "The day that Peter and John went up to the Temple to pray was the Cay after Pentecost. That is what gives added significance and beauty to this act. The test of Pentecost Is the next day after. You remember the great excitement of that day, when the Holy Ghost was poured out upon the church; when, liko the sound of a rushing, mighty wind, a large cloudburst of spiritual influence fell upon tho disciples; when there appeared unto them cloven tongues as of fire which sat upon each of them; and when filled with the Holy Ghost, they spoke in other tongues. "Surely that was a great day, and any day that followed must needs have been commonplace. Now, pentecostal days and luminous hours are Divine blessings, but the greatness of the blessing depends upon the influence which these days and hours exert upon all the days and hours which follow. There is a tendency among men to cut this life of hours into slices, to claim that God has to do with one part of life and to exclude Him from another. They hold that Sunday is God's day, but other days belong to man. They believe the Bible is God's truth, but not arithmetic, whereas truth everywhere belongs to God, whether in theology or science or finance. He who tries to bend back any truth upon itself has on his hands a struggle with God. It would be as easy to repeal the law of gravitation as "to repeal the laws of finance. Men little dreamed when they were attempting to exclude God from the full sweep of human affairs that they wero encouraging the growth of political heresies which should threaten tho very existence of our national life. "I am glad and thankful that this Sabbath day comes just beforo this great and momentous decision, that it comes like the hush before the battle and I prav God that, in its stillness and Its sacredness, men may see clearly their duty to themselves, their Nation and their God. These groat and fearful dangers that confront us did not spring into existence yesterday. They have been the growth of years. "As Canon Wilberforce said in his fammous speech in Plilladelphia, somo years ago, America has received the citizens of a world. A vast tide of immigration has swept toward our shores. This tide has been a mingled curse and blessing. Some of our noblest citizens have come from foreign shores, but, too, we have received the most Ignorant, the most degraded and the most dangerous classes of Lurope. In 1S63 America had to settle the question of slavery and the integrity of the Union and in 16 we must settle the great questions of obedience to law, the sanctity of financial obligation and the supremacy of the Nation. I am not hero to tell you how to vote, but I am here to say that to everyone of you is given a part in determining what shall be tho future of this srreat Nation. "I beseech you when you go to the polls next Tuesday, go with consciousness of the tremendous importance you are about to discharge and if you go thus I am sure It will make you thoughtful and earnest and loyal to your country and your God. And then, if the result be disastrous, I cannot but believe that It is God's pUi-pose. that we should suffer awhile in the valley of humiliation because of our forgctfulness of Him. It is a fact apparent to all that In days like these, so full of excitement and of peril every good citizen should discharge the obligations of citizenship. Thousands of good men will vote next Tuesday who havo never voted before, but the test of the highest citizenship Will not be next Tuesday, but the day after, and all the days that follow. If men should recognize this duty of constant fidelity to tho Nation we would find that demagogues who incite to riots and lawlessness would have no place in American politics and no iniluence with men who bear the proud name of American citizens." v PULPIT AXD POLITICS. Her. C. C. Lftaby, of Central Avenne, Preaches on This Topic. A stirring sermon on "The Pulpit and Politics" was delivered at the Central-avenue Charch last night by the pastor. Rev. C. C. Lashy, D. D. The interior of the chvrch was tastefully decorated with flags. Dr.'Lasby, previous to accepting the pastorate of this church, lived In Lincoln, Neb., and is well acquainted with Bryan, but did not allude to him during his sermon. Ho took as his text, "No man taketh this honor unto himself, but he that is called of God," and the burden of hU sermon was illustrative of the proper attitude of the ministry towards current politics. He said in part: "Churches do not pay taxes and It is not their purpose to carry on any other work than that of educating and uplifting the morals of the community. They are not Republican annexes or Democratic aid societies. All through the ags preachers have been flying at the throats of one another because of differences of opinion on theological questions and have established many denominations as a result. There are many theological questions to-day on which ministers do not harmonize as there are political questions on which people have different views. I remember one lovely evening while I was aboard a vessel sailing on tho sta in company with several other ministers a discussion arose between two on a theological question. One said that ho absolutely believed that the practice of infant baptism sends more souls to hell than anything else. The other asked him if he held that view above the liquor question, to which he answered, I assuredly do;' and yet to-day that minister is holding a first-class ttulpit'in a larire cltv. "If God calls a man to preach the eonel. u.ui is niounn lor ine minister to do and God will take care of the Jaitv in the pews, if the minister is faithful to his trust. If you will notice, when a preacher leaves his pulpit and goes Into politics he makes a great failure of it. I know a minister who was preaching j-onder in the third great city cf the Union. His church revolted on an opinion and the church doors were shut. - The church said it would send him to Congress, and he was placed there. He was a silver-tongued orator in the pulpit, but have you ever heard of him anywhere else: have you ever heard of him around here? He was Rev. J. Hyde Smith After one course In C'ona:rei:s he came back to his city and his church was very reads' to retire him into private life. I am not unmindful of all good ministers have done when 1 cite these facts. Talk about what rood ministers did during the late war; I i hank C d that thov were the strnth of the armies of the North and the strength of the armies of the South. "You will find ministers arrayed against themselves on ail these, political questions as they are on theological problem. Take a minister from his pulpit and send him careering around over the country and you will degrade the pulpit and add nothing to the efft-ctlvtntss of the party platforms or the party speakers. Party platforms are inclined to bo somewhat dogmatical. You m:y br the smartest political speaker, but you will be thr poorest preacher. Preachers always spil everything they put their nanai on pomi.-aiiy. i was present at that great convention when R!aine and Hurchard spoke. 1 stood within twenty feet of Burclmrd when ho rave utterance to that now famous sentence, 'Rum, Romanism and rebellion." It only needed seven hundred votes to Rive the State of New York to Illalne, but those- words took it from him. You remember some time ago when it was suggested to return the flags captured from the Confederates. A minister, in sugar-coated words, said from his puiplt that it was th thing to do. A lawyer
arose In the audience and took issue on the question with him. The lawyer demanded twenty minutes in which to make reply, and the congregation acclaimed that he be given the time. He pronounced the suggestion as demagogy, and at the end of the twenty minutes the minister was forced to retract what he had said. That minister had no business in th pulpit he had destroyed his influence. "We are in the midst of an election. Part of the people in the congregation of the church will be disappointed at the result. If the minister should have taken up partisan politics in his sermons the Sabbath following the election the politically disappointed members of his church would say: 'I'll not go to church, because we are whipped, and 1 can't go to church and hear that-mlnister preach who has preached the princip.es that helped defeat our candidate. Thus ministers will have lessened their Influence. Over the portals of the church should be emblazoned, 'Peaco be within thy walls.' When men. wearied with the strife of the week, come into God's house there ought to bo something or eternal calm and rest there. It Is the business of God's house to harmonize all. The church loses Its modifying influence when it enters the political arena. It Is the business of the minister to seek and to save that which is lost. Politics is honorable, but that is not his profession. Storekeeping Is honorable for the man who i3 a storekeeper. The various legitimate businesses are honorable for those who are engaged in them. But If I were to open a grocery store across thu street my people would soo.i say, V'e don't want that kind of a preacher.' You have a right to demand of the -ninister. 'This one thing I do,' and the minister who has the true love of God in his heart will do that one thing alone. The minister wno is true to hi3 calling and has the love of his mission implanted in his heart is like the old solelier of Napoleon who, when the sur." geon was probing near his heart for a bullet, looked up Into his face and said: 'Probe a little deeper, and you will see the face of the Emperor.' "What does it amount to who shall be elected to the presidency compared to the question, 'Are you elected, your own self, to God's chosen?' BISHOP GILBERT'S- SERMON.
Observance of All Saints' Df at Christ Chnrch. Right Rev. Mahlon N. Gilbert, D. D., bishop coadjutor of Mlnnnesota, preached yesterday morning and evening at Christ Church. It was All Saints' day, and the morning sermon was from an appropriate text, found in Rev., vil. SO: "After that I beheld and lc a great multitude which no man could number." He spoko of the fact that tho church stood looking forward to the condition of the next world and joining in the worship of the redeemed until the worshipers were filled with the triumphs of faith rather than by the discouragements of this life. It was a day, he said, when people were led especially to commemorate the lives and works of those faithful ones ot the past who have finished their course in faith, but whose names are not known in history. It was a day when each family recalls those who have gone out into the mysteries of the next world, and dwells upon their memories and so it becomes a sort of a family reunion day. Inspiration came from the contemplation of those who had gone and with the thought that they had ranched the goal came the hope that those living might do likewise. The last reference of tho speaker was to the fact that tho church was commemorating tho great article of faith the communion of saints, the fellowship of the faithful. The thought was emphasized that those who had passed on and those who were behind all belonged to ono household and stooel in close relationship with one another in the practice of holy religion. At the Third Christian Church. Mr. Jenkins, pastor of the Third Christian Church, spoke yesterday morning on the text, "And the common people heard him gladly." The trend of the sermon was opposed to the Idea that some people entertain that the government should legislate for certain classes of people. He held that consideration for one another and the desire to better the condltionof those less favored could be brought about only by following tho teachings of Christ, and by being governed and influenced by his spirit. He did not bedeve that the remedies proposed by many politicians would make people more considerate for those in their employ. The Socialist wants to try his own remedy. The single-tax advocate clamors for a trial of his one Idea and declares that it will cure all Ills. The speaker described the common nnAnlo a a thv WrfP HSSpmhlfd lit JcTUsalem to listen to the teachings of Christ, lie HJrt not- rofpp to nnv nartv in sneaking of the election, but said he had confidence that the people wouia aeciae ine matter tiv Yip-re Tiifsdav. He said he be lieved God's power ruled and that His power would solve tne questions. A ew Irvlngton Pastor. Rev. E. P. Wis has been called to tho pastorate of tho Downey-avenue Christian Church, of Irvington. Mr. Wise is a graduate of Butler College, class of S7. After a most succesful pastorate of the Fourth Christian Church, of this city, carried on at the same time with his college course, Mr. Wise spent throo years at New Berlin and Marlboro, O. For two years he had charge of the church at Sioux Falls, U. D., and was Instrumental in establishing his denomination's work in that new country. In 1WZ he again returned to Ohio, where he has been pastor of the Massillon Christian Church for tho last four years. DuringVhls pastorate there the church Increased from one hundred to over four hundred members. Mr. Wise's work, wherever he has been located, has been most succesful. As a speaker he Is logical and forcible, and establishes a sympathy with his hearers by hi3 strong personality. Mr. Wife's subject yesterday morning was "The Glorious Gospel of Christ." A largo audience heard him. THE VOTING PLACES. The polling places for the election will be situat?d as follows: FIRST WARD. Precinct 1 4!5 Hill.MJe avenue. Precinct 2 Martlndale avenue.

We. know hundreds of the oil men, and are personally acquainted with Messrs. Page, U uay and Zeigler. whose names are mentioned in thi3 scurrilous, unmanly and untruthful article, and know them to be men who are actuated by high principles In all their dealings with their employes. Moreover, we know that thse omployes. somo of thm, have, when the question has been raised, voluntarily said that no such thing ai coercion has ever been implied or hinted at under any circumstances by the men whose names are untruthfully associated for such low work is charged in the article. Furthermore, it distinctly understood, once for all, that thc?e men who have been thus unmanfuily, untruthfully and shamefully assailed have offered J1C0 for every case that can be brought of coercion or Intimidation In any way, and they stand ready to make the offer good at any future time. I have known these men. some of them having always voted the Democratic ticket; they see that their own interests are imperiled by the success of th Chicago p atform, and all they have said to their employes has been timply to make a manly statement of their convictions ns to the disastrous results that must. Inevitably follow the success of the Chicago platform, and after making those statements they have only asked their employes that If, after looking at all the facts In the case, they can support William McKlnley, they believe it to be for the best Interests or fmployer and employe. These are the facts In the case, the Bluftton Banner and a.11 other Democratic papers, with their vile assertions on tho eve of the election, to the contrary notwithstanding. II. C. SMITH, Pastor M.

J. 3f. LILLY'S INTERESTING EXPERI ENCE IN CENTRAL A3IERICA. Il'ai Money Doubled In Purchasing Power AVild-Cut Ranking SystemPrimitive Farming. John M. Lilly has returned from a brief tour through the republics of Central America, where M noticed many things of interestnot tho least Interesting of which wu the monetary conditions that exist in the free-silver countries of Honduras, Guatemala and Peru. Mr. Lilly went to Central America for the purpose of looking after Bom? business interests, his destination being Puerto Cortez, Honduras. He also went Inland to San Tedro de Sula and it was his intention to land at Livingstone, Guatemala, but he found the port quarantined and was not allowed to disembark. The people of Central America are procrastlnators, going on the theory that nothing shall bo done to-day which can be put off until to-morrow, so that Mr. Lilly found that it -would take a month to do what he had laid out to do In ten days. His business was not finished and he will probably make another trip. So given are the natives to procrastinating that they are called "Manyana" (to-morrow people.) Money is scarce. The unit of circulation is the 6ol, or peso, which corresponds to the American silver dollar. It is current internationally among the republics of Central America at face value. While the dollars are heavier and contain more fine silver than the American, one American dollar will buy more than two. Wishing to change American money into the currency of the foreigners, Mr. Lilly went into a place of business to get change. "Do you want some sols?" asked the proprietor.! "How much are they worth?" "I will give you eleven sols for $3," answered the merchant. Mr. Lilly tendered an American $10 bill, receiving 22 sols for It. "If I had been disposed to haggle with the man," said Mr. l-ally yesterday, "he would have given me 23 sols for my $10 note." The price of sols fluctuates from 43 to 47 cents, according to the quotations from the United States. They have a peculiar banking system, whereby bankers are permitted to Issue notes by depositing sols with the government, sol for sol. ,While there Is actually one sol on deposit with the government for every paper sol issued by the bank, the fluctuations of the paper money do not keep pace with the silver coin, but the value is considerably depreciated. Mr. Lilly says that the paper sol is only worth in America from 30 to 36 cents. This, he says, is due to the fact that the bank notes are somewhat similar to the wild-cat currency familiar to Americans of the last generation. It is supposed that -the government does not keep the redemption silver in its vaults, but immediately puts It into circulation, owing to the extreme scarcity of money of any sort. If the banks of issue were to fail some of the natives fear there would be trouble in having the paper redeemed. Mr. Lilly met a number of merchants of Belize, British Honduras, who were much elated because that country has recently adopted the gold standard. He brought home a collection of the coins of tho different republics. From his brief stay in Central America Mr. Lilly believes that country to be the greatest agricultural country In the world, or, rather, that it has great agricultural possibilities. Everything is done in the most primitive fashion. The sole implement of agriculture he found in use is the machete, a sort, of sword, the instrument with which Cubans are lighting the Spanish soldiers. Ground is not plowed. The natives simply thrust their machetes Into the earUi, give them a twist to make an opening,' drop a couple of grains of corn into the ground, press the earth over them with their feet and then pass on a few feet, when the operation is repeated. Corn produces three crops In fourteen months. Watermelon vines are perennial. Once planted they grow and bear on. year after year. Mr. Lilly savs that there are great opportunities for making money down there. Upon arriving at Puerto Cortez Mr. Lilly sent a cablegram to his family announcing his safo arrival, paying 12 sols for the transmission or tne message. "It has not been delivered yet." said Mr. Lilly. "The government operates the telegraph lines. I suppose they take our money ana tear up the messages." NEWS IN SUNDAY'S JOURNAL.

Correspondents for Popocratic newspapers to-night telegraphed to their journals a story to the errcct mat tne grand jury here had to-day found an Indictment against M. A. Hanna, chairman of the Republican national com mittee, for bribery and corruption. The story is without foundation, for the reason that the grand Jury made no report to-day It was rumored on the streets that the Popocrats had hired some one to go before the grand jury and chargo Mr. Hanna with offering to pay $40,000 for the electoral vote of Texas, but the charge was so ridiculous that it obtained no credence except among the rabid Popocrats. who have been fearful the Republican fusion ticket might be Fuccessiui next lucsaay. Riot at "Winchester. WINCHESTER, Ind.. Oct.-Bus!ness UVUO vewsv - r'w' s w i a a.t vv Ait ic and blue to-day and both parties celebrated flag day. Before the afternoon was half gone the Democrats started a riot on the public square, and such a scene has not been witnessed in this city before. The Democrats had been very bitter all day, and when the Republican flag parade began the sllverlUs blocked two sides of the public square. The-y were provided with heavy hickory canes. The free-for-all flght was a terrible affair. Numbers of persons
were Injured and some of them seriously. Sheriff Strahan. Marshal Stout and their
deputies worked hard to avert trouble. In their endeavors to preserve the peace &nerlff Strahan's son was knocked down and. the SherifffC himself only oniy escaped a similar fate by knocking the assailants right and left, finally the streets were partially cleared in a measure, when the flag parade was permitted to pass until the Women's McKlnley Club came, when the street was again closed to prevent their passage. Quickiy there was a backward rush of the paraders and a serious conflict was averted.. In the forenoon the Democrats had full possession of the streets and conducted their street parade without being interfered with In any way. The Democrats have hurt their cuius e by their conduct here to-day. Stndenta Flairs Torn Down. FRANKLIN. Ind., Oct. 31. The Democrats disgraced flag day here with an attack on the national flag. Flags which students had hung out at the college in honor of flag day were pulled down by a crowd of silverite rowdies, torn into pieces and the shreds flaunted by the perpetrators of the act. The outrage was an evidence of the same desperation and spirit of anarchy which caused the disgraceful breaking up of Evans Woollen's meeting at Edlnburg, Watson's at Bengal and of other like acts In this section recently. The contest Is developing into a struggle not alone between sound money and free silver, but between peace and riot as well. Union County Turns Oat. LIBERTY, Ind.. Oct. 31.

To the Editor of the Indianapolis Journal: It has been the dream of a lifetime of reMJence here to see the banks of White river and Fall creek within and near Indianapolis stonewalled, planted with trees and vines, and the low and hlch banks so protected and treated as to make them beautiful, instead of an offense v the eye. as they now are. Those of our citizens who have procured the new park law, and have promoted the present orRanizatlon of the park board, have done a good thing. Ceitainly we ought all to do what we can to sustain thofe who have thlj great work in charge. The plan is to begin at White river bridge, crossing Washington street, take in the low lands west of the Evans flour mill and cottoa mills northward to tbe mouth of Fall creek, where tha water company has its pumping station and galleries-, thence northcast on both sides of Fall creek to Hammond Park, taking in some tracts of considerable acreage, including the fln prove belong ice to the leaiah Mansur estate north of Fall creek. In all about 2-0 acres, more or less. This Nho!e region excei'tln?, of course, the Mansur forty-acre tract, and perhaps a few other bits of land her and there) is at (resent unsightly, much of It overflowed, bome of it marshy and malarious. In thlr condition it has little value, most of it has never been ured for anything, and never will be. unless for park purples. It is a constant threat against the public health. Now is' the time to acquire this wate 1jiJ. vnd put it to this beneficent ute. It is eminently the right thing to do, and it has been commencea in a wise and hopeful way. The law is ample In its provision for the condesnnatUrfi of the land and has just provisions for aicssing resulting benefits against adjacent property. A large proportion of the com. of the vcrk ought to be obtained from this source. If this great work can be successfully prosecuted by Mayor Taggail's administration it will be remembered to It credit tor years to come. While it wUl take a large sum to procure this land and construct this system of parks, it is the thing to do. We are, as a city, well able to do it. Indeed we cannot afford not to do It. Our city debt is net large in proportion to our populatfon and wealth. This enterprise will provide labor ftr workingrr.en anl become the tiessnr and the boast cf all our ieople. It is a civilizing process; It is c.iuc&tional and refining in the highest decree. Thtre are some things more desirable than money. This is one of the in. We htve here already a beautiful city.' growing more so every year. Dut we cannot step hort of creating thl prurosed purk xystem. We must keep up with the times. We have a wisely lald-out city, with wide streets, well paved, beautifully shaded and permanently sewered. We have rapid transit, modern light, a gr:&t common echool sysit-m, and public and private and buidr.eaa buildings up to modern conditions In a large measure. liut let any one, citizen or stranger, cone In contact with this unsightly, tnalaxial region along Whlto tirer and Fall creek, it is a thing we are ashamed of and Lav to apologize for. At a recent visit to Albany. X. Y.. we were shown Washington Park, along and cn both sides of a waterway which was formerly an old cemetery. The interments hud not been removed, but do not now appear. This suggests the incorporation of our Grctn Lawn Cemetery as a part of our park system. There are some obstacles in the way. but they ar not. very serious. I esteem It a fortunate thing that Mr. II F. Claypool is at tbe head of this park commission, lie is a wise man. and a strong mas. and doe not fail to accomplish things he undertakes. The other members of this board are also good men and very much in earnest. I am well satisfied the recently appointed Board of Assessors will do right between the property owner and tpe public While ws ought not to expect or retire to take lands for nothing, even for so gdo4 ah object as this neither ual rnis to tx-

At the Mmt time the? leader publicly do-lare-d that it was no longer a strike but a rebellion. When tho United States marshals, under the protection mt th federal troops, had opened the lines of Interstate commerce and mall routes and protection had Wen obtained for the property under the Jurisdiction of the United States th troop were removed to their former tactions July 13. Hence they were In Chicago only iifuen elays. and did not In any waf Interfere with the municipal or State authorities. The strike, however, was cot ordered off ur.tll two weeks later.
