There shall be one half hour of devotional and song service, exposition of Scriptures and prayer before each session, and a quiet hour at the close. There is now under advisement a plan whereby an extensive race exhibit, consisting of charts, photographs, and handiworks if necessary, will portray to the thousands of delegates and visitors the real progress of this people. Local Headquarters have been established in Scottish Rite Hall. 1633 11th Street, N.W., at which place five, handsomely furnished rooms are in use, and where all business of the local organizations is transacted.

A Great City and Its Events. Chicago, Ill., is situated on Lake Michigan. In size it is 24 miles long and 10 miles broad. Next to New York, it is the largest city of the New World. We get some idea of its rapid growth when we remember that it became a town as la e as 1833—just 72 years ago. It was chartered as a city in 1837. In 1871 it was nearly destroyed by fire, in which 200 lives were lost, 98,000 persons were rendered homeless and 17, 450 buildings were burned. It now has about 2,000,000 inhabitants: It is the greatest railroad centre in the world. We clip the following from the Commoner: According to the Ohio State Journal there is something doing in Chicago. The Journal says that a Chicago newspaper publishes the following interesting catalogue of events transpiring in the city by the lake: A death every fifteen minutes. A birth every eight minutes and twenty-eight seconds. A murder every seventy hours. A serious accident, necessitating nurse's or physician's care, every four minutes. A suicide every eighteen hours. A fatal accident every five hours. A case of assault and battery every twenty-six minutes. A burglary every three hours. A hold-up every six hours. A disturbance of the peace, to attract attention, every six seconds. A larceny every twenty minutes. An arrest ever seven minutes and thirty seconds. A fire every hour. An arrest for Drunkenness every fifteen minutes. A marriage every twenty minutes. A case for the coroner every three hours. A new building completed every one hour and fifteen minutes. Sixty passengers, surban and through, arrive every second at railway stations. Seventeen thousand gallons of water a minute pass through the 1900 miles of city water mains. A handful of common sense is worth a bushel of learning. Seek not to please the world but your own conscience. He that will not be counseled cannot be helped. What children hear at home soon flies abroad. Silks and satins put out the kitchen fire.
