DEPARTED FOR EUROPE. It was rumored yesterday that Mr. D. G. Hamilton, who is one of the directors of the Chicago City Railway Company, would be called as a witness before Hawes to confirm a certain conversation between Mr.
Holmes and another gentleman, having an important bearing on the Welch case. If Mr. Hamilton is possessed of valuable information it will not be available for some months to come, as he will be in New York by 10 o'clock this morning, and Sunday will And him on an ocean steamer beyond the reach of and other legal processes Mr. Hamilton lives at No. 2929 Michigan avenue, in one of the handsomest houses off that highly select neighborhood.
When a reporter for THE INTER OCEAN called at the residence last night the lights were all out, and. the family had evidently retired, although it was not yet 11 o'clock. Persistent ringing brought somebody to the door, who said through the keyhole that Mr. Hamilton could not be disturbed. When informed of the visitor's errand, the voice informed him that Mr.
Hamilton had. left for New York in the mornings. that he would sail for Liverpool to-night, and that he would return to Chicago some tine next falL In answer to the question, Why did Mr. Hamilton leave so suddenly?" nothing was heard but the sound of retreating footsteps. As the reporter was leaving the house an upper window was raised long enough for the conversation at the door to be repeated in person by Mrs.
Hamilton, WANT DR. GRAY'S SCALP. At the meeting of the Public Service Committee of the County Board yesterday William T. Moran preferred charges against Assistant County Physician Gray. Moran claims that May 3 Thomas Moran, a relative of his, was picked up on West Madison street, having presumably fallen from his wagon.
He died a day or two It was then found that a short time before his fall he had had a fight down town with a man named Nels Nelson. Moran claims that Dr. Gray. after post-mortem examination, told a member of the Moran family that he discovered bruises on the back of the head which might have been received in the fight In his report to the Coroner's jury the Doctor said nothing about bruises, but that Moran died of concussion of the brain. Dr.
Gray denies thht he discovered bruises. The friends of Moran also claim that it is impossible to determine whether there is concussion of the brain without lifting the skull, and that Dr. Gray did not do. Dr. Gray says he did.
The matter was referred to the Committee on Jail and Criminal Court. THEN THE MILLENNIUM. Agent Andrew Paxton, in his report for May to the Citizens' League yesterday, said 113 saloon-keepers had been prosecuted upon 229 charges during the month. They were disposed of as follows: Fined by the Justices, 106; held to the Criminal Court, 44; nollied and discharged, 27; continued to June, 48; fined in Criminal Court, bonds forfeited, number of witnesses used, 308, and fines and costs imposed, $1,586. Mr.
Paxton said the prospects of the league were never so bright as now. The recent agitation regarding the location of saloons in the neighborhood of schools and churches had wrought a wonderful change in public sentiment While Chicago might have been spared the disgrace put upon it by the City Council, yet there is a determination to redeem the city at all hazards. the good (citizens were aroused they got rid of the anarchists and the boodle commissioners, and DOW we must get rid of the boodle aldermen and boodle officers of all kinds, and then our long cherished hope of making Chicago, a model city will be realized. The good citizens have only to come to the front and do their duty, and it will be done." ON TRIAL FOR MURDER. The trial of William F.

of the three lodginghouses were also brought into court. no use fining you follows," said Justice White, you must get out of these cellars. You get down there and herd together, breathing impure air and breeding discase. Then you got sick with fevers and other complaints and go to the hospital to be a burden on the community.

Julius Yattaw, better know as "Black Jack," was arrested yesterday mornpg, for the second time this spring. on forty-fiv charges of selhing liquor without a license andkeeping a nuisance. Justice Lyon, a few days ajo, held Yattaw in $5,000 bonds for the sape offense, but the took an appal, and at once returned to his bumbost at he government pier, and resumed his command of that flagship of the "Chicago Harbor yicht Club." Captain Bartram sent out squads of men in citizens' clothes, who drank bee and whisky on the bumboat, and, returning swore out forty-Ave warrants, which were isued by Justice Lyon yesterday, and served by officer McNamara Yattaw took his arrest a a matter of course, and made no objection to beng locked up in a cell.
Even if Yattaw is stucessful in his appeals from the fines imposed the constant arreste will probably break up his usiness. His bail bonds on the forty-five cost him $1 each, and bonds for the continuince necessary to prepare a defense involve the same amount. The officars are confident. however, that the upper courts will uphold the action of the police justice and affirm his vuw, that the city has jurisdiction over the waters of the lake for some distance beyond the pie.

Detectives Nordrum and Plunkett, who made the arrest, said they had frequently seen prisoner hanging about corners doing nothing.

Banquet by the Plymouth Social and Literary Club at the Southern Hotel. Second Annal Banquet of the Northern Illinois Chantanqua Union. HIGH SCHOOL LITERARY UNION. A large audience, made up principally of young people, filled the First Methodist Church last night, to attend the first quarterly entertainment of the Literary Union of Cook County High Schools. The society was only organized few weeks ago, and was the outcome of a suggestion printed in the High School Journal that it would be to the best interest of the literary societies in the various high schools to have some medium of co-operation and mutual help.
The hint was speedily adopted by several higli schools in the county, and an organization was effected, the North, South, and West Division High Schools, and those in Oakland, Lake View, and Hyde Park being represented. The plan contemplates quarterly entertainments, the first of which WaS that given last night, the series receiving most auspicious inauguration. Victor Frankenstein, of the South Division High School, presided and delivered a graceful address of welcome, outlining the organization and plans of the union. He was followed by the Howland Banjo and Guitar Club of the South Division School, named in honor of Superintendent Howland; Miss E. M.
Richardson, of the North Division, in a reading, and S. O. Beach, of West Division, in a cornet solo. Each of the city schools having been heard from, Judge Grinnell was introduced to deliver an address. He said he wanted to say something to prepare them for tho work which would soou rest upon them--that of making and executing the laws of the country.
He wont on: "Do well that which you are now undertaking. and do it so well that you will never forget its influence upon you. The foundation for, you to build upon is honesty and integrity; all else will come if you do your duty. Think for yourself; naver let it be said of you that you are simply a machine, exercising another man's will. Study the history of your country.
Learn of the founders of our Nation, and of their trials and triumphs. Decorate the school-room with patriotic mottoes and flags. Learn to be good citizens." Judge Grinnell was followed by Frank F. Winter, of the West Division, in remarkably well-rendered violin solo, he being compelled to respond to an encore.

AN INTELLECTUAL FEAST. The dining-room at the Southern Hotel was the scene of grand banquet last evening, given by the Plymouth Club.
Covers were laid for 170 persons, and besides about 120 members of the club, forty gueste did justice to the feast, The tables were beautifully decorated. Wreaths of smilax were twined in and out among the vases of flowers, which were placed on every table. A menu was placed for each guest with boutonniere lying upon at. Before the dining-room doors were thrown open the Ply mouth Club orchestra played number of pieces in the drawing-rooms, where the members and their friends were gathered. The orchestra is remarkably good 006 for an amateur organization.
it is composed of the following gentlemen: Messrs. W. H. McGillivray, leader; W. H.
Bond, H. Mitchell, George Stoneham, F. Slatterly, W. C. De Burgh, E.
P. Griswold, D. B. Deble, C. Farnsworth, G.
Footer, and T. G. Baird At about half-past nine the doors of the dining-room were thrown open, and to the music of a lively tune the members and their friends marched to their places After the second course had been removed Mr. Henry H. Windsor, the President, rose from his seat at the head of the first table and welcomed the guests to the second annual banquet of the club.
The- toast list, as prepared by Mr. Robert T. Cassell, was as follows: Welcome. H. Windsor Plymouth David Williams "Minutes" D.
Cartis T. Cassell Milk and Charles Pickett The North and William R. Barnes The Lights and Shadows of Preacher's F. W. Gunsaulus Our Country.
Henry Morse Our Alien B. Pond The President of tne Uuited Robert I. Hunt Ladies. S. Bannister The Rose H.
Pedrick Good H. Fuller The speeches were received with great deal of applause and laughter. None of them were of ponderous nature, although the speakers do belong to a literary society, and are deeply immersed in considering the Constitution and matters of an equally weighty character. The Rev. Dr.
Gunsanlus' speech had but little of the sermon in it, as the lights and shadows were dealt with principally in a humorous vein. For the excellence of the banquet great credit is due the committee of arrangements, composed by the following gentlemen: Augustus D. Curtis, David Williams, L. H. Pedrick, W.
R. Barnes, G. W. Rigge, L. King, H.
H. Fuller, and H. H. Windsor. Plymouth Club is a social and literary association in connection with the Plymouth Congregational Church.
Its members are not, however, necessarily members of the church. It was organized five years ago with dozen or more young men belonging to the church, and now numbers 137 members. The principal literary work done by the club is in political history. This year, at every alternate meeting, essays and papers are read concerning the great Puritan movement in England, and the persecutions which drove 80 many of her best citizens to America. The main object of this work is to show the influence Puritanism had upon the American Revolution and the Constitution.
Next season the club will take up the study of the Constitu tion itself. The President of the club is Mr. Henry H. Windsor, and the Secretary is Mr. D.
Curtis. Both officers are deeply interested in the work of the society, Among those present at the banquet were: Dr. Gunsaulus, Underwood, S. Parkhurst, B. Stubbs, D.

These lunches are monthly affairs, and are promotera of a noble work, a grand scheme to broaden and enlighten mankind, to educate the ignorant, enlighten the heathen, and teach the word of God in all nations The parlors of Mrs. Pierce's most hospitable home betrayed the evidencos of rare taste and appropriate decoration, not the least attractive of which were the beatitiful Japanese flowers, reared on American soil from imported stalks. About 125 ladies came in at nootl.
They took their places in the parlor, and Kinsley's aids treated them to salads and rolls, cream and berries. while each lady in turn went to the tables where Mrs. H. M. Willmarth and Mrs.
Robert Fowler dispensed coffee and 1ea. Then reason, thought and culture, followed the more practical feast, and the many ladies, versed in literature, art and music, and they who devote their best years to charity. favored the brilliant assembly with rare evidences of their learning and the glory of their charitable work. Miss Busby played a transcription of melodies from and Mra. Florence James Adams gave scripture reading, followed with prayer by Mrs.
Alton. Then came an address of more than ordinary interest. It was delivered by Miss Betty Harrison, who is doing a great work in Chicago, her subject being the 'Relation of the Kindergarten to Mission Work." It WAS a splendid effort, and merited the thoughtful attention it received. Interesting in another way was paper on the needs of Japan, written by Dr. Macklay, of Japan, and read by Miss Fowler.
Then came paper by Mra. Donaldson on "The Highest Sphere of Women in Mission Work." Miss Hattie Louise Simms, who studied with Lamperte in Italy, and who had never been heard publicly in Chicago, sang for the ladies and won their generous approval The company present included the following: Donaldson, Mrs. T. W. Harvey, Mrs.
Milevara Adams, Mrs. Wirt Dexter, Mrs. Elbridge Keith, Mrs. Robert McCabe, Mrs. Fowler, Miss Hattie I.

247 Dearborn avenue. The school, which is now presided over by Miss Mineah, has about 150 pupils and is one of the very best in the city. It combines an admirable curriculum with invaluable training in other directions, so that the pupil who finally achieves a diploma, may be taken for granted, is well fitted for the practical work of life, and as equally well fitted for its pleasanter duties. The commencement exercises will be held on next Thursday, at which eight graduates will retire from the school, endeared to them by what will prove to be among the pleasantest associations of their lives They are Miss Corbin, Miss Andrin, Miss Darlington, Miss Farr, Miss Elwood, Miss Floweree, Miss Nixon, and Miss Westover. The young ladies and their guests, friends, and relatives were received by Miss Mineah, assisted by her corps of teachers, and the evening was a most delightful one to all.
Young girls are always attractive, youth of itself being an enviable attribute, especially in the estimation of those who can no longer claim it for themselves. Among those who were the center of attraction last night, all could lay claim to grace and beanty, which was as fresh and sweet as the roses they wore, and was heightened in every instance by tasteful and becoming toilets. From their animated conversation it was evident, too, that they could lay equal claim to bright and cultivated minds, which had been subjected to wholesome discipline. There were premonitory leave-takings, comparing notes to routes of summer travel, full of 1 happy anticipations- feast of reason, followed by one more substantial, later in the evening. To add to their pleastire Miss Grant was present, taking the same kind interest in their enjoyment that she has always manifested Among the other guests present were: Mr.
Corbin, Mrs. William Hubbard, Mrs. Lucas Hunt, Win. Penn Nixon, Miss Lulu Troost, Miss Lida Elwood, Mr. Hubbard, Miss Hammond, Nixon, Miss Gilman, Misses Davis, Mr.
Meadowcroft, Mr. Baxter, Mr. Treat, Mr. Hamburger, Mr. Corbin.

Limited edition, No. 86. Miss Medora E. Dodge, At the conclusion of Mrs. Chamberlain's essay the guests went to the banquet hall where twenty-eight tables awaited them.
The banquet WAS unlike the regulation spread, 14 the absence of wines and the presence of women, and no one seemed inclined to object to the innovation. It was a jolly hour -the dining hour. The pleasures of year of study together were gone over, and lived again by the classmates of this great home-college, and never was class dinner spiced with brighter wit or garmened with lighter laughter, than marked the Chautauqua class of 1888. President Fallows, in short speech Alled with happy allusions, introduced the presentation of prizes, and called out individually each successful competitor for the prizes. The first prize on examination was awarded to Mre.
Margaret K. McCorquodale, of Maplewood, and the first essay prize went to Mra. Hannah M. Gee, of Tonica. It was a compliment to the Chautauqua course, that two such women should win its first prizes.
They came not from the college or the study or the parlor, but evidently from the farm fireside, where want and study have to mingle with each other, and where cach improves the other- the study makes the work lighter, and the work makes tue study more enjoyable, BUT IT WAS WORTHY OF NOTE that of all who who competed for these recognitions of proficiency in mental work, the first prizes in both departments should go to womon. The other prizes were presented in their order. After the presentation of the prizes Miss Jeannette F. Russell sang "The Swiss Echo Song," and responded to an encore. Dr.
Little. of the New England Congregational Church, speaking on the subject of muscle, said: think we all must have noticed in the dietribution of the prizes a few minutes ago, that they were almost all of them taken by the ladies. They seem to be taking the prizes nowadays most of the time. It reminds me of a graduating exercise they had in my church one time, where almost all the prizes were taken by the girls. I asked a very bright boy why they let the giria take all the prizes.
'Why, he said, we let the girls take the prizes, and then we take the girls think that whoever assigned me this subject munst have let his eye rest upon that picture in a daily papor Monday morning, of the man who presided over the Sunday afternoon meeting at Central Music Hail. I don't. wouder. it they wanted a talk on muscle, that they hunted up that man. If you are to have great mind OUR GLOVE Located, as it is, entrance, is without department in the cialty of the DEPT.

The men that reared this marvelous city from a little hamlet in the quagmire were not men that were born in splendid houses Think of the time which called forth such men as those we call the Puritans Why, the world hind to have Bloody Mary, an Elizabeth, and James to give us such grand old stock to found a country with.
You put men in such circ*mstances as they lived in, and about the third generation of babes is immortal. These old men were not the most lovely people to meet. I HAVE AN IDEA that I shouldn't have cared to walk arm in arm on Boston Common with some of those old fellows They were not particularly urbane in their manner. They didn't hesitate to smite you if they wanted to. They were almost as hard to get along with as some of the fanatics of the present day.
They were full-fledged fanatics. They were the grandest fanatics the world has ever had All through history what we call cranks have been doing some of the best work for God and His cause They came over here to start things on a new basis. In their country the state had always run the church They proposed to have the church run the state. It was a novel idea, and took lots of grit and grace to run it They wery pervasive. They pervaded the whole country.
I'm glad I wasn't there. The literature of that time is very poverty stricken. Those people wrote very little They didn't live on the point of pert They didn't make a record with ink. It is astonishing how littie they wrote. And yet they founded the first library there ever was in this country.
They had no time to write. But what they did write was pretty good. There is that book, the New England primer, which I suppose Dr. Little carries around with him day by day, that starts out with IN ADAM'S FALL WE SINNED ALL Dr. Little They borrowed that from the Presbyterians Dr.
Withrow Yes, they got that from the Presbyterians, and then there was old Cotton Mather's for Babes; and there wasn't any Mrs. Winslow's soothing syrup about that, either- that wouldn't rear any mental dudes And if Joukthan Edwards could come here just once, and gather all the liquor-sellers of Chicago together in one room and preach that sermon of his to them, I believe they'd all wither away into their boots, and go home and shut up shop. Nobody wrote 'Helen's Babies' in those days, or 113," but they did good deal' bf good hard plowing through continent of forest, and sowing theseed for nation's Mr. Frank Lincoln then gave some very entertaining after-supper reminiscencos. DR.
HENSON arose to speak to the toast, "That Father, Veni, Vidi, Vincent." He said: "Dr. Little belies his name, He's anything but little- except in name. As I listened to him, and as I have looked at him and been filled with admiration for his muscles I have wished I was Little As I have listened to Dr. Withrow and heard his glorification of the Puritans, I have wished I was a Puritan. Now, shall I teil you what I am? Some time ago, there was a case in court in the city of New York.
One of the parties litigant WAS a gentleman named Solomon Levi Said the Judge: name is Salomon Levi?" "Id iss, your Honor," replied Solomon. "What is your business, Mr. Levi," asked the Judge "Segont hant glothes, your Honor," said the defendant is your place of business, Mr. Levi?" said the Court Chatam street, your was the reply. is your religion, Mr.
Levi?" pursued the Court, "Now, Chudge." said Mr. Levi, I haif toldt you dot my name was Solomon Leti, dot I vas in de old gloths peesiness, dot I vas in Chatam sthreet mit my place, und now you vaut to know my relichon?" Yea," said the court, "what is your religion chuge, I vas a quagker." I SCARCELY KNOW WHAT I AM in this presence. 1 guess I'm just a Chantauquan to-night. But I'm not a Puritan, and I'm not a Presbyterian, though I would gladly be if didn't have auch a conscience. It's a great thing to have a conscience.
But I am here to lay a floral tribute -not on his bier, for I hope it will be many vears before he has one- -but on the life of my friend Bishop Vincent If any man in the world deserves to be a Bishop, it's Archbishop Vincent. No bishopric cond raise him higher than he was If I'd been member of that- what is it you call it- -oh! that general conference, r'a have voted for myself first, and then for Dr. Vincent, against the world. I'd like first rate to be bisbop; I'd like to boss for once in my life want to boss some one -I've been bossed 80 much and so long at home, you know. I'd like just for once to get where 1 could boss the Lrethren- oven my vaulting ambition don't o'erleap itself enough to want to boss the sisters.
That can't be done by anybody. You can't boss the women. WAy, look at it down at Indian- then Dr. A. E.
Dunning of Boston, who is President of the class of 1888, ontlined "The Best Plan of Social Chautanqua Work." The Hon. John Fairbanks paid touching tribute to the memory of Professor W. F.

When I he left that same boy at home for first heard of this, Puritanism in American her to train up in the way he should go, and liturature was what I understood I was hardly saw him from one season's end to the to speak on.
It's very refreshing to I other. But the boy of Dr. Vincent's brain, the know way out betel in Chicago that the great Chautauqua, has been the grandest of all. Puritans once were. It's astonishing how they It has done its vast work well, and is doing it still live.
They came and went, but they left better every year. You know I was converted so much behind them that you can't get it out to this Chautauqua business I've been conof the country--you never can. As long as it is verted a great many times- just as it I was America there will be something of that sturdy Methodist- and I was converted to this old stock left.

A R. encampment, given Shakespeare last evening aided the parsonage fund of Trinity M. Church, thus showing that the genius of the poet and actor is instrumental in aiding the work of Christian Church.
Trinity M. E. Church is to have a new parson age, and as the lot and most of the funds have been secured, the ladies of the congregation are doing what they can to help the speedy building of the parsonage. To their aid came man with deep thought in his mind, and charity in his heart, willing to do good, to help and at the same time instruct This war Mr. Denton J.

Mr. Snider was anxious help the parsonage fund, and offered to give a on "As You Like It Se about one hundred ladies and gentlemen gathered at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Charles F.
Pierce, at No. 1630 Indians avenue last night, and for an hour and half listened to now thoughts on an old subject and found new inspiration from a fountain whose spiritual drink has coursed for hundreds of years through many minds and hearts that worked in consonance. Mr. Spider spoke in an ensy, datural, and conversational, tone and was listened to with rapt attention. He gave a review of the purport of the play, that showed that its purpose one of mediation, taking the men and women who found fault with society into a realm of bliss, where nature thrived unmarred by blemishes of human kind, where painted scenes shadowed the memory of scenes at base courta and affected salons, where the brook and the stones told their stories and preached their sermons in accents more pure than those of man, where deceit, discontent, and soeinl foibles were as rare as palm trees in a sea.
Mr. Snider showed then how the characters that came from the court of the duke met others in the forest, some sad or melancholy, some foolish, some wholly untempered by the men of the busy world. The optimism of the banished duke, who found all good in all things, was contrasted with the pessimism of Jacques. who SaW naught but ill And then the several characters cursed internally and externally by the parasitical vice of 80- ciety. pass through the refining influence that blesses them with the true appreciation of the good in nature, while the younger fall in love, and innocently found new families, new ties, in fact a new society of their own.
Thus they create the very thing from which they fled, and this is an element of comedy. The several characters were defined, with Rosalind as that of the mediator, and Touchstone as the contrast that gave the more certain light to the wisdom of those about him.
