When tho local committee In charge
of tho thirty-fourth national encaitiii

big gathering hero, It not only had In

tho same tlnio planned to nvold con

been the result during other big func

tlral a year ago State street business
Intoroata were nlmoat stagnated by the
erection of a court of honor and nrches
from Randolph to Van Huron streets.
drawing such Immense crowds to that
thoroughfare that it was Impossible
for business me to be reached by
buyers."
Consequently the selection of Michi
gan avenue over other downtown
streets for tho Grand Army pnrnmp
raent arches and court of honor was
a particularly happy one. Business
Interests will not sufller; tho propor
tions of the arches and columns will
not bo dwarfed by high buildings: and
tho green of the trees, the grass of the
park and the effect of the lake area all
lend beauty to tho architectural result.
The material used In the work on the
exterior of tho columns and nrches
represents marble In effect. The open
lugs of tho arches, through which the
marching columns of tho G. A. It. will
'pass, are twenty feet wide and thirty
feet high.
The arches have been decorated with
Btatuary and relief panels In plaster,
symbolizing appropriately the differ
ent branches of th army and navy.

the sculptural part of the work. The

Dr. Max Nordau was by far the

ablest adepts among the Jews In the
defense of his race, and is possessed,
at the same time, of ono of the most
brilliant riilnds In Europe. Nordau Is
best known by his work, "Degenera

nnd which at once attracted Interna

Lies," published In 1883, prepared the
way for his supremo conclusions in

Hungarian Jew, born at Budapest In

practice of medicine, but was driven
from the city by rnco prejudices. Ho

Electricity and JVoiso.
Many of tho noises ot the cities to
day are duo to electricity. Theie Is
the street car, with Its whir nnd clang
ing gong, und the "anvil chorus" as
It pusses along the unevenly Joined
rails. Vet Charles V. Price, tho edi
tor of tho Electrical World, assorts
that the city ot the future will be
noiseless and the credit will be due to
electricity. Tho chief quieting Influ
ence ns noted by him will bo the sub
stitution of the automobile for the ve
hicles drawn by horses. "The awful
and constant volume of sound ot un
numbered thousands of Iron-shod feet
bnmmorlng resounding pavements will
disappear forever, and with It 90 per
cent ot tho noise and tilth and odors
of the street. With the passing of tho
horso also will go tho stone pave
ments," he says. The automobile as
yet, however, hardly tomes up to this
glowing picture. Its whir can be dis
tinctly heard by tho persons seeking
sleep on n warm night. Its chief nil
vantago as yet is perhaps its rubber
tires, nnd It Is strange that tho makers
of horse-propelled vehicles do not
more largely avail themselves of this
feature. It would do much to lessen
tho nolso ot cities. The electric motor

The Haberdasher has discovered that
If all letters were business letters, and
If all business letters were typewrit
ten, the use of "My dear sir" nnd
"Yours very truly" would cost tho
world 13,350,000 each year In typewrit
ers' wages alone.
If they meant anything nt nil, If
thoy softened any asperities, or cre
ated any more cordial relations be
tween mercantile houses, these phrases
might be excused, or even commend
ed. But, as a nutter of practice, the
Haberdasher remaiks, they are attach
ed to "duns," to reproofs, to complnlnts,
to every foim of communication, "and
they nre as thoroughly worthless ns a
campaign button on u cigar store Iu
dlan." This reformer would like ono or two
business houses with voluminous cor
lespondence to ome out squarely
against the.-e supcrlluitles and abolish
them. And It would not bo ono year
before there would bo a genernl re

BIG SUNDAY CLASS.
The Sunday School connected with
St. James' Methodist Episcopal Church
Chicago, is considered ono of the most
flourishing church Institutions In tho
United States. The only other to bear
comparison with It In perfection ot

schools. One of these was held at tho
Kenwood M. E. Church nnd the other
at tho Washington Park M. E. Church.
Tho small schools weru having n
struggle owing to their too eloso prox
imity. It was flnnlly resolved to
unlto the two. Tho result has proved
the wisdom of the step, for thu pres

enrollment of 1,221. TIiIb number In
cludes the cradle roll nnd tho home de
partment. The school Is divided Into
departments named cradle, roll, home,
kindergarten, primary, Intermediate,
senior nnd musical. Each of the de
partments curries on Its work Inde
pendently of tho other, but a certain
harmony Is maintained throughout.
The fact that tho primary department
has a picnic Is no proof that the kin
dergarten will hnve ono, but the ono
usually brings the other. For each
department the superintendents vie
with each other In "making his or her
portion of the work as nearly perfect
