for paupers shipped from this city to
their distant homes. The lines controlled by
Mr. Vanderbilt and some of the Western and
Southern roads nro the most complained of. It
Is contended that all these roads receive many
favors from the county, and that In a matter of
this kind they should show themselves accom
modating, An effort Is to be made to get all
the trunk-line Passenger Superintendents to
agree to carry paupers on county passes at half
rates, and, if they will not agree to this, the
County Board will play dog-ln-thc-mangcr
too. The suggestion was made yes
terday that if the roads proved Im
practicable They should, bo compelled
to keep a flagman at each road-crossing, but
whether this would work or not remains to ho
seen. Anyhow, they ore to be approached In a
conciliatory manner first, and then, if they won’t
come down, they are to bo squeezed.
Tnc COMMITTSB ON EQUALIZATION
of the County Board yesterday obtained nearly

their headquarters for as long, as may be neces
sary for a thorough revision and adjustment of
the’assessments, both real and personal. Tho
Committee will sit dally, und taxpayers who
have not yet had an opportunity of examining
their assessments or those of their neighbors
can do so on application.
While the Committee have, until Sept 1 in
which to complete (heir work. It is not supposed
that the Job will bo a very long one. In fact, a
plan has been already shaped out by which the
Inequalities in tho real-estate assessments will
bo wiped out. Thus It (s Intended to add 0 per
cent to the South Town assessment on real
estate, and to cut down the West mid North
Town figures each 7 percent, in Hyde Park
20 per cent will bo added, and In Lake 14 per
cent will bo deducted. Thu Evanston assess
ment will bo Increased 10 per cent, and that of
Cicero will bo cut down 0 per cent. In the out
side towns tho changes will bo comparatively
slight.
As to tho personal assessment, no conclusion
has yet been reached, and hero Is probably
where the dlfllculty, If any Is met with, will
arise. It is not proposed to Interfere with In
dividual assessments, as notice was long ago
given that all assessments modoprlor to Juno 10
would bo equalized by the Town Boards. But
as between tnc Towns, South Chicago will suf
fer, and tho North and west Towns will receive
a certain modicum of relief.

SILVER FOR TAXES.
I’KAOTXCS VBU3CB TDEOIIT.
Yesterday noon a gentleman In the full pos
session of all bis faculties, of good eyesight and
good bearing, wont over to the County Treas
urer’s ofllco to poy bis taxes. lie bad a couple
of country lots, the burden on wbicb amounted
to thirly-flvo odd dollars, lie laid down, as pari
of tbo sum, $lO In stiver, some of It dollars, and
some subsidiary currency. The clerk at the
window refused to receive Lbc silver, stating
that tbo limit to wbtcb they were restricted was
$lO. Thereupon this gentleman, being of an in*
genious disposition,said that, inasmuch os be bad
to pay Uie taxes on two lots, bo would split it
up and pay ten of the silver dollars on one of
them and the rest of Uie coin on tbo other. To
this the clerk assented. So tire gentleman'
shoved over the $lO which formed a part of the
payment on one, und was then alxjut to pass
over (be remaining installment which covered
the other lot when he was checked by the
clerk, who refused to take it ell at once thus,
but wanted him to wait until bo had gotten the
hill for the other piece. During the interval
of waiting, which was an hour or so,
bo bad nothing butter to do than to listen to
the conversation between the eager taxpayers
and tbo cool und deliberate clerks.
A WOMAN I‘UBBBNTBD lISRBHLP
at tbe window next to the 000 where ho bad
paid Ills tux and passed over a lot of subsidiary
silver in payment of hor ux. Thu dork re
fused to receive more than $5 of It on the tax.
•• 1 cues* that won't do," says the gentleman,
“ you will have to take $10."
Thu clerk still persisted In limiting hor to 15.
Thu gentleman stated that at the adjoining win
dow—lhu one ho had paid at—#lo was taken.
Thun the clerk said ho would see the Assistant-
Treasurer uml oak him about It. He hunted
around, bub was unable to llnd that individual,
and thuruloru remained greatly perplexed in
mlud.
Insomuch as bv the law subsidiary stiver coins
are now a legal-tender to tbe amount of
$lO, and insomuch as tho great num
ber of taxpayers, especially from the coun
try, brlug lu tbe amounts of tbelr
taxes, or portions of them at least, in silver, and
are put to great inconvenience by being unable
to work It off, as far as the taw allows, the re
porter
OALLBD UPON UR. DITB
to inquire of him as to why this discrepancy ex
isted between the different windows in his olllce.
Ho replied that they were taking ail the silver
they could get. Since the law was changed and
$lO in subsidiary coin made a legal-tender they
had accepted It, and It was not the (act that
there hud been any refusal to accept more
thsu $5 iu such coiu. Nay, more
than that, the County Treasurer was
receiving larger amounts, and would
continue to do so, for they could now readily
obtain currency for the silver ot tbe United
Stales Hub-Treasury.
" Would you accept SSO lu halves or quarters
from one person I" was the next question.
"Well," said Mr. Here, "I won't say that
wo would, but In point of fact we have been ac
cepting larger uinouuis than the law compels us
to right along. 0/ courseH we got blocked up
with subsidiary coin wo would fall back on our
legal rights.” ’
” What about silver dollarsl”
"Wo take silver dollars to an unlimited ex
tent, ns provided by law. I can assure
you Hint there lias been no refusal of
legal-lender amounts. Wo hnow what Uio
law is, mid you* will find that wo
aro living up to tt. There have been po com
plaints to my knowledge, am) I don't see how
Uicro can be, for we aro taking more small all
vor than tho law compels us to.”
COMPARING TUB AROVB STATEMENTS,
there Is but one conclusion to bo reached, and
that Is, that In this respect the head of the office

Perhaps Urn knowledge that subsidiary silver ts

through the minds of thu Receiving Clerks, but
so much has been claimed lately for them, and
the assertion Hint It would be impossible to find
additional clerks possessed of like skill has been
so often made Hint citizens might reasonably
expect them to bo fully posted on such a simple

THE EXPOSITION.
DISCUSSING TUB TERMS OP A LEASE.
A star-chamber consultation wua held the
City Attorney's office yesterday afternoon be
tween Comptroller Gurnov mid Mr. Grlnncll on
the one side, and E. U. Asay and Mr. Reynolds,
representing the Exposition people, on the
oUicr. The talk lasted*about an hour, and the
subject under discussion was the Exposition
Building. When thu gentlemen separated It
was learned Hint Comptroller Gurney was
willing to recommend tho granting of ‘a
lease for five years at a rental of SIOO a
month, and that Mr. Alar said that the Execu
tive Committee of thu Exposition were willing
to pay $250 a month, and take a lease for ton
years,' Uio Intention being to make extensive
Improvement.— to build a fire-proof art gallery,
etc., If a long lease could be obtained. Tho
meeting was. simply for feeling purposes, nnrt
no conclusion was reached. It Is probable,
however, that tho Comptroller will make the
concession as to time, and Hie Exposition Di
rectors ns to money. As things now
stand, there being uo lease, the Exposition
people ore squatters, and can bo ousted at anv
time. With n lease. If tbey do not voluntarily
vacate at Its expiration, they can bo removed
only bv IltlgaUon. If tho arrangements as to
rent arc entered Into they will not be retroact
ive, but commence about Nov. 1. In addition
tc rent, tt Is aald the Exposition people are
"willing” to pay n fair amount of
taxes. Their Executive Committee will
meet in a day or two and pass upon Air.
Gurney’s proposition,—decide what they will
do. It will Hicn be lor the Comptroller to make
up his mind; Uilr done, the Council will bavo
to tako action. From wbat was inadvertently
droppedyesterdov, it Is believed Hint an effort
will be made to secure 250 feet more ground
south of the structure for the proposed art-gal
lery.
In view of Uio possible complications growing
out of the city’s leasing Hie building and
grounds lo the Exposition folks, a reporter coll
ed upon
THE RON. TUOMAB ROTHS
last evening, knowing limt that gentleman bod
always-taken a great Interest In all matters per
taining to the Lake-Front, and asked him bis
opinion of the , city’s rights In the matter.
“There Is no right,” stud Mr. Home, “In
the city to give permission to any company or
Individual to occupy public property to the ex
clusion of tne general public. The city Is a
mere trustee over this property for the use of
the general public,, just os It is over the streets,
and'it cannot give the exclusive use to any
person or corporation of public lands belonging
to tbo general public and dedicated to the use
of the general public. This Is simply nothing
more than open nubile land or street. It was
all original street front: therefore the city can’t
lease or sell It. Al|.t|>ey can do Is to let those
people stay there by; sufferance uml get what
they can from them. The fact is, they went
therewith the unddMUndlng Uiat the general
public were to havc.thu same rights as they, ex
cept during the time of the fair. I know that
to bo the case, for l-was present at the consul
tations. They got'permission originally upon
the understanding that during the Expositions
they might close It .upi but that ut all other
times It should be open to the general public.
They were merely, have a sort of permission
to use the ground In the public Interest. Now
they arc trying to convert the thing Into private
property, and that,.! say, they have no right
to do.” ‘ tr?f
And Mr. Ilojnc,,‘is a property-holder on
Michigan aretluc, a. citizen, .as a tor-paver,
and as a lawyer,protested ugaluot any such lease
as wbollv illegal, and jis a. wrong on the gen
oral public.

rcuort of the Executive Committee admitting
the regular the tlvo contested pre

precinct, Joo Muckin' leading off with a violent
harangue on tlie subject of the First Precinct of
the First Ward. i( AfJcr a lung wrangle
and numerous conferences on the outside,
the report of the Executive Committee was sus

A resolution was passed instructing the present

the complaints by drumming on tho table, but
several enthusiastic Democrats stigmatized the

of a "gag." Such notes as could bo found

Ford got the Hour, and proceeded to state the

a fraud. Then the minutes were approved.
The chair said that the Central Committee had
requested him to call a meeting fur the purpose
of instructing them that they must organize a

A FALSE ALARM.
XOTUINO 11UT NIIOUBOHIIOOD TALK.
The neighborhood Id tho vicinity of Hurling
and Sophia streets has been stirred up a good
deal of late through the circulation of some
rumors affecting the character of a father and his
step-daughter. Divested of all surplusage, tho
story was to tbs effect that tho two bad becu
criminally intimate) that the sinning step
parent's wife bad found It out, uud that tho
revelation bad drlveu her Insane. The rumor
also went so far as to say that the guilty parties
bed bad Uw vlls coufiucd lu a KurtU bias bos-
pita), ostensibly for medical treatment, but
really to Keep her out of the wav. In
vestigation tsads to show that Uio wife is
rcollv Insane, though In nil probability
the Insanltv Is directly traceable to physical In
firmities, nhd that she has a mania for accusing
not only her daughter hut others of her female
relations ot social crimes strictly prohibited by
one of the sections of tho decalogue. She has
her lucid spoils, and then appears to be per
fectly tamo mid rational as sbe relates tho story
of her alienation Irom her husband through her
daughter's wicked wiles. At other Hines she
raves, smashes anything ami everything that
comes nearest to her. and threatens personal
Violence lo thoso around her, as well as self
destruction to herself. The father and the step
daughter admit that they sent her to the
hospital, but assert (hat this was done
bv the advlco of n well-known physician, who
said It would he unsafe to longer keep the wife
in the house with them. As to the charge of
criminal Intlmacr, both the father mid the step
daughter donv It In tho strongest terms, mid
point to the fact that thev provide for the wife's
sustenance nt the hospital,—the daughter going
even so far ns to carry the mother delicacies of
all sorts, and to even do her washing; and the
other fact that they have refused and stitl re
fuse to send her to Jefferson as on evidence of
Uiclr strong affection lor Uic unfortunate woman,

COOPERATION.
A Successful Experiment In Bt. Louis—The
Furniture.Workers* Association.
Special ComtpmiUnte oj The Tribune.
St. Louis, July 23.—1 n view of the large de
gree of Interest which Is being manifested by
the working classes of Chicago in the co-opera
tive system of labor, a few facts relative to the
large experiment In that direction which St.
Louis cabinet-makers are conducting, may be
regarded os tlmolv.
The 8t Louis Furniture-Workers* Association
presents quite a study for the political philos
opher; and It Is not too much to say Unit this
Institution will yet exert an influence which will
go lar toward solving the labor problem In this
country.
it was In the early port of last fall that n
number of skilled workmen—some of whom
were proud of the title of Communist and So
cialist—determined to make an effort to put
into practice tbo theories with which they had,
since before the great strike of 1877, glamoured
the discontented tollers of their* clase. Nor.
14, 1878, articles of incorporation for the Furni
ture-Workers’ Association wore taken out by
Frederick Dicker, William Fflstnrcr, Louis C.
Stlfcl, Uolnbold Atnrhcln, Fritz Keitel, Charles
Btclngrabo, and Frederick Von Ilandorf. The
capital stock of the Association was to consist
of 2,000 shares, of $25 each,—tbo purpose being
to open the door for the poorest artisan to be
come a stockholder, without assuming what to
him might seem a hopeless debt Soon after
words the books weroopened for stock-subscrip
tions, and the move became popular among tbo
classes on whom Its success mainly depended.
The shares were taken in numbers of one, two,
and three, and seldom more than flvo; and small
payments thereon were mode. If It bo true, as
published la the Chicago papers, that, under (he
Illinois law, the stock of a corporation must be
all paid up before business con be inaugurated,
theu tbo Missouri workmen who may have such
a purpose as this in view have a great advantage
over their friends beyond the river, for there Is
no such requirement hero. In ilie case now be
ing discussed, the larger part of the stock was
subscrioed,—much of It being taken by men
who expected to work in the establishment. The
pavmcuts, however, were hardly 10 per cent at
first: uml when, in December lost, It was deter
mined to put the concurs in operation, the cash
In the treasury was only a little over $2,000. A
large brick building at the corner of Twentieth
ami Davis streets, which had lormcrly been a
sowing-machine manufactory, but which bad
long been Idle on account of its remoteness from
the heart of the city, was leased on very favora
ble terms. A committee of experts selected an
outfit of the lloeit wood-working machinery
that Is made, costing altogether about .$20,000,
uml made an arrangement by which libera) time
was secured for the payment of the bulk of the
pnrchase-uricc. Then the men who intended to
work In the concern proved the faith that was In
them by devoting two or three weeks’ time to
fitting the building for occupancy, and setting
up Die machinery, without pay or promise of
any. When It Is considered that these men
mostly consume their earnings from week to
week, some Idea can bugatnedof the enthusiasm
which actuated them.
Finally all was m readiness, and ono day
there was a cheerful little opening, which
was attended by crowds of people of
all conditions of life. Tho factory has
now been six months lit operation, mul Is a
pronounced success. It opened with sixtv of
thu host skilled workmen that the citv affords,
and it now has Increased tho number to ill), it
has never been without orders abend; and yes
terday, when the writer called, be was shown
orders which will run Ida establishment for two
months.
The style of management Is very simple.
Each man has Ids particular line ot work and
Ids particular machines. Thu work is nearly nil
dune by the niece; and the prices are, as a rule,
fully as good os, if not better than, oilier facto
ries here par. Nobodv but stockholders are
employed. When tan order comes in, every
workman In the place knows it; and knows, too,
Just what Is the couiract-pricc. The Secretary
makes an estimate os to whut figures till" price
will allow fur each portion of the work, and
then, going to the men ono by one, says: “Wo
want from you such a number ol pieces of this
pattern. We receive so much for Uie joo. We
will giro you so much per piece for your work.
Will you do UP 1 The workman knows whether
the price U a proportionate one or not; nml, if
It Is, he signifies his assent. If he refuses,
the job goes to some ■ other man.
Whenever any differences arise between
workmen and bosses, they ure settled
by arbitration,—each man choosing
his arbitrator,—and this decision is final. Each
man has a pass-book, which he takes to the
olllco at Intervals, and In which the Secretary
credits him with such a job of work, an much,
and debits him for whatever amount of money
he may draw,—thu debit being ulwavi consider
ably less than the credit, In order to leave q
margin for tho payment of balances duo on
slock subscribed. This simplifies the book
keeping Immensely, and lets every roan know
where he stands at all times.
No stockholder can hold more than twenty
shares of stock, and, when he desires to dispose
of any, thu Association Itself has the relusal of It.
By this system the business Is thriving, ami al
ready $$£(100 of atock has been paid in. Thu
managers are jubilant, and are building immense
alr-castles, os theirs Is now the largest fuutury
iu St. Louis. The men are all satisfied, ami it
is curious to see tho ulr of interest ami industry
Which pervodcs the workshops. Tim men, be
ing stockholders, are Interested In turning out
tho very first quality of work; uud there U
alwava a standing invitation held out
by tho managers that any article found
to be not strictly up to contract
in every particular be returned. Here and there
through tho factory are noticeable little things
which mark Urn difference between a Usy-eiu
pio>e and a proprietor-workman. Notably,
there Is a fan over every machine, which keeps
tho workman cool while at work; and there are
other trllles which indicate a regard for comfort,
in the middle of etch half-day tho machinery
■tons, and tho men get out their lunch-buckets
and send out for their beer,— devoting tcu or
fifteen minutes to recuperation and chat.
The factory .has brought a great deal of work
to 81. Louis that formerly went to Cincinnati,
Evansville, Grand ilaplds, etc. This was dune
by means of the system which lets the men
know the conditions of each job, and makes
the closest of margins possible, where neces
sary.

lie Singing RvADgollat Daok fromEaropfc-
UnlhtiatMtla Reception In Knglnntl nnd
on the Continent—F»row«U,«t Spurgeon**
Tabernacle.
AVt» York Herald, July 57.
The famous singing evangelist, Mr. Ira D.
Sankey. arrived here yesterday on the City ot
Berlin from Europe, and, with his wife and two -
children, is slopping at thu Metropolitan Hotel.
The writer had a pleasant interview with him in
the afternoon, and below will bo found.an out
line of the conversation. The evangelist In
looking remarkably vigorous and well, notwith
standing bis nine months’ labors abroad.
When Mr. tiankey left hero last fait ho went
straight to the Continent, mid gave the evan
gelicals of Switzerland several weeks of labor.
In Zurich ho was particularly successful. He
was there introduced to the Rev. Mr. Wenger,
who is known familiarly as tho “ Swiss Moody,”
because of Ids resemblance to the American
evangelist and his great tact In dealing with
religious bodies. Aa an example of bis tact
Mr. Sankey cited a service where Mr. Wenger
delivered an address to 2,000 or 8.000 people In
the largest hall lo the city, and wbeu bo wished
to point nud emphasize an Illustration ho would
call op Mr. Sankey to eing a hymn suited to the
occasion, after which bo would continue his dis
course. In this wav ho aroused the enthusiasm
of the people so that day after day for several
weeks their hall was crowded afternoon and
evening. The largest cathedrals In the city wore
Iredy placed at the disposal of the evangelists,
hut, as Mr. Bankoy remarked yesterday, their'
meetings are always more successful in taber
nacles and'holls than in churches mid cathe
drals and hcnct he was compelled to de
cline tho oilers. He found, however, that
the evangelical Christians in Switzerland, Ger
many. and Franco wore well posted concerning
the movements of religious bodies, mid espe
cially of Mr. Moody nud himself lu America.
They have (he "Moody nud sankey Hymns”
translated and sung In all their social meetings.
And, moreover, they have selected twenty-four
of the choicest bvmus mid tunes, and put them
In music-boxes, mid play them In their homes;
so that, though Mr. Sankey sung In English, his
French and German audiences were able to join
with him in the air or chorus in their own
tongue, lie did not come In contact with tho
Old Catholic element in Switzerland to be able
to (.ive an opinion about its standing or pros
pects, but he was very hopeful of the evangelic
al cleracut in Central Europe. Ho talked aud
sung in Berne and Basle, and other atlcs of
Switzerland.
After a few'months spent on the Continent
the American evangelist went to England uixl
held meetings in Newcastle, Darlington, York,
nml other cities. His reception was most en
thusiastic and generous. The staid Churchmen,
who keel aloof from Uio work of Mr. Moody
and himself when they were over a few years
ego, were now among the foremost to Invito
him to their towns and cities and to their homes,
and to co-operate with him in Dio public meet
ings. At York six vicars and ail the dissenting
clergymen of the town signed a request that lie
would visit it. And no hearty wus his reception
there ho spent five weeks among them, speak
ing in three or four churches afternoons nnd
evenings to different congregations,-because no
single church would hold the people, notwith
standing the admission was hr tickets.
Last Bandar week Mr. Bankov sat in the con
gregation in Mr. Spurgeon's Tabernacle, lie
was recognized by the great preacher, wnodcr
outed a deacon to invito him to the platform.
Thun Uio preacher asked the evangelise to sing
for his people in the evening. The Tabernacle
was crowded, and Mr. Snnkoy sang “ Who is on
the lord's Hide?” Mr. Spurgeon announced
the American evangelist's intended departure,
ontl, when afterward the latter sang “ Hold the
Fort.” the entire cungrcgathat rose to their feet
spontaneously ami joined in the chorus so lustily
tlmt Mr. Spurgeon remarked that the roof of ids
Tabernacle, having withstood that volume of
sound, might bo considered safe. The enthusi
asm of the audience was so great that Mr.
Bourgeon had Uic chorus sung over three times.
That was the evangelist’s last song in Europe.
Mr. Bankov thinks Mr. Spurgeon is the most
original preacher of Uic age. And In illustra
tion ot this statement lie said that a member of
Parliament sent him recently a copy of
the Army hill, then pending before tho
House of Commons, and in a pencil note asked
if it could not bo spiritualized. Mr. Spurgeon
made It the text for one of the Quest sermons
the evangelist had ever heard on the duties of
the Christian soldier. Mr. Sankey traveled
homeward lu company of Mr. Inman (of the
Inman line), to whom he was Introduced on
board, and Unit gentleman assured him that the
evangelist's former work In England Is still re
membered and Its Influence felt, and that they
would And everything ripe for n grand cam
paign should they visit England again. But Mr.
Bnokey has no definite plans for Uio future. He
expected to see Mr. Moody last night, but tho
latter bud uotcomo an at the time of this inter
view. The sickness of a child detalmgl him.
Thu two evangelists are to be with Mr. Sawyer
this afternoon and evening In Coopfer Institute.
They will stay hero a few days, but their meet
ings will bo occasional only until fall. They
have InvitaUons to several largo cities for their
opening, but can't toll yet where to begin. The
evangelist's family, who wore with him, re
turned also In excellent health uud fully de
lighted with their trip.
