CHICAGO, Oct. 30. Tho visit to the

duction. The stage of the theater also
will be at the service of those who require

Street Funds,
Quite a number of the employes of the
city arc already beginning to wonder "where
they are at," especially wheu salaries arc
considered. By the end of December the
flro and police funds will be oxhautted and
already tho local banks hnve given notice
that they will not ncccpt assignments or
carry paper for employes In tho fire, police
or street departments. At the best there
will be at the end of December nn overlnu
of not less thau $20,000 In tho departments
mentioned. In the interest fund there re
mains only $2,700 nnd there Is due on ma
turities In New York on January 1 the sum
of $10,000 In Interest.
As, under tho law, members of the coun
cil aro liable under their bond for contract
ing any debts for the city when there Is
no money on hand to meet tho same, the
firemen nnd members of the police depart
ment are wondering where they will get on,
or whether their pay will be stopped and
the city worry along without any police
force.
Some of the citizens who favor a more
economical administration aisort that If the
rnuncll proceeds to appropriate money for
the flro, police or street department after
the annual levy of 1901 Is exhausted tho
courts will be called upon to lutercede.
In connection with an economic move the
mayor, It is asserted, will be asked to cut
down expenses by laying off several em
ployes who now do, nothing except draw
their breath and their salaries.
Those l.lhrary Itoiiils.
In somo circles there seems to be oprJosl-
tlon to tho proposition to voto bonds In tho
sum of $S,000 for tho purchnse of a site for
the Carnegie library. Rumor hBB it that
organized labor will oppose the Issuing of
bands for this purpose on the grounds that
Mr. Carnegie has not treated his employes
right In tbo past. On the other hand rep
resentative citizens say that the bonds
should bo voted by all means and thus
provide the city with a magnificent library
building. Tho site, It is stated, win cost
not less than $5,000 and for maintenance a
tax amounting to the samo amount will
bo levied each year. This tax will, It Is
asserted, provide for nil the needs of tho
Institution and will leave n sum Bumcient
to purchase new books as needed.
Just whero the slto will bo located should
the bonds carry Is not known. Somo of the
city officials favor tho locality in the vicin
ity of Twenty-fourth and O streets, while
others think that the building should be
erected north of N street. There will
doubtless be some controversy over the site,
but In case the bonds aro carried this mat
ter, It Is stated, can ha arranged satisfactor

It Is said that another communication

pelled to be In tbe court room pick their
way around among the bars ot metal, which
cannot be removed until an owner Is found.
Claims to Be Owner.
The American Smelting nnd Refining
company alleged that It was the owner ot
the valuable bullion. Testimony was In
troduced to show that tbe company shipped
bullion from Denver to Omaha and that
some of tho bullion was mining when the
cars reached Omaha, but there was nothing
definite enough to prove, that tbe metal
found in the Junk shop was tho property
ot the company.
Until the smelting company brings add!
tlonal testimony before tbe court the metal
will lie In the county building. The owner
ship of tbe bullion Is dented by Harding,
In whose shop It was found. It he Were to
claim It be would give the state an oppor
tunity to renew Its action against him for
receiving stolen goods.
Tho bullion was In the posrslon ot tbe
Union Pacific railroad when It was stolen
and that company prompted tbe action
against Harding. Although, there can be
but little doubt concerning the ownersnip
of the metal, It will be held until addi
tional testimony can be secured. It no
counter claims are filed in the meantime It
Is likely that the courts will not prevent
the American Smelting and Refining com
pany from relieving the criminal court of
this wealth, which Is far from desirable.

Kreatlonal Church Adjourn
for a Week.
The meeting of the tnerobors ot St. Mary's
Avenue Congregational church called last
night to decldo whether Dr. C. 8. Sargent
Is to be retained aa pastor of the congrega
tion was postponed for one week. About
100 members met at the church last night
In spite of the storm. As there are nearly
500 members of the congregation those who
attended last night's meeting decided that
It would not be wise to discuss the reten
tion of the present psstor when so few
members were present. A motion to ad
journ carried unanimously.
