Therefore, if the President consents
to come on here as the guest of the
Chamber he will receive a-royalv and
an enthusiastic welcome. He will find
that his views on the currency ques-
tion will receive a patriotic support,
irrespective of what he may possibly
say on the tariff.
The arrangements. for the dinner
have not yet been completed. The reg-
ular monthly meeting of the members
of the Chamber of Commerce ..will be.
held on Thursday, when the matter of-
thelaunual‘banduet will be brought up.’
Then a committee will be appointed .to
take charge of the affair," issue the‘
manifold invitations and correspond
with the various guests to be as to the
subjects to which they respectively will
respond. .
Of course it is not expected that the
President, if he comes to the dinner,
will make a set speech. His piesence
alone will add honor and lustre to the
Occasion.
The Secretary of the Treasury, Ly-
man J. Gage, also will probably be
asked to attend and speak upon some
topic within the lines of finance, in
which assuredly every member is
deeply interested.
Another topic will interest those for-

DEBS’ PLAN FOR LABOR.
To Set His Social Democracy Build-
ing a. Tennessee Railroad.
Chicago, Oct. 6.—Railroad building
has been selected by Eugene V. Debs
as the first great industrial project to
be undertaken by the Social Democracy
of America. '
He has sought for the privilege of
constructing a. railroad in Tennessee.
and if his preliminary plans meet with
favor the work will be launched next
month.
The City Council of Nashville will re-
ceive a formal proposition from the So-
cial Democracy to build a seventy-five-
mile road from Nashville to Lebanon,
which will be turned over to the city
of Nashville for a nominal considera-
tion.
Labor for the building and operation
of the railroad will be furnished by the
Social Democracy, and it is intended
that the road will be maintained un-
der the methods set forth by the .ad-
vocates of public ownership of rail-
roads.
The building of the line, with another
small line at Monterey to connect with
the Cincinnati Southern Road, owned
by the city of Cincinnati, will give a
direct road to Cincinnati.
It is proposed to employ idle labor in
constructing the road,- and the Social
Democracy will have at its selection
capable and experienced men who were
its members when it was the old Amer-
lcan Railway Union.
The establishment of a colony on the
line of the new railroad, if built, will
be a second undertaking.
ROCKEFELLER BESTS POTTER.
The Parson’s Suit for $250,000 Dis-
missed fox Lack of Prosecution.
New York. Oct. 6.—The action
brought by the Rev. Daniel‘C. Potter,
formerly pastor of the Tabernacle
Baptist Church, on Second avenue, to
recover $250,000 from John D. Rockefel-
ler, who had been a large contributor
tothe church, for malicious prosecu-
tion, was dismissed by Justice Gilder-
sleeve, of the Supreme Court. yester-
day. The case has. been pending for a
long time, and has been adjourned
frequently at the " request of the
plaintiff. Mr. . Rockefeller's counsel
were on hand yesterday to try the case,
said he had no counsel. and desired an
adjournment. He said. his counsel had
lust returned to him the papers in the
case. and that he had had no oppartu-
nity to get other counsel.
G. W. Murray, who, with Joseph H.
said that this was but one of the ex-
cuses of Mr. Potter for adjournment,
of which he always seemed to have a
supply.
Justice Gildersleeve said that the
case had been adjourned so often that
Mr. Potter's counsel probably had not
the'effrontery to appear in court and
ask for "another adjournment. The
Judges thereupon dismissed the case.

MANY FOREST FIRES.
Hundreds of Acres Burned Over in Illi-
nois—Smoke Over Lake Michigan.
Chicago, 111., Oct. 5.—Extremely hot
weather for the month of October is
*now prevailing in this section. Dense
smoke aggravates the conditions.
On account of drought the last two
monthseverything is as dry as tinder.
and forest and prairie fires are numer-
ous. Lake Michigan has been almost
unnavigable on account of the smoke
and fog. Captains of incoming vessels
report a most alarming state of af-
fairs.
larly hampered. Landmarks Were ut-
terly obliterated and lights rendered in-
distinct at a distance of the length of
the steamer. The smoke was attri-
buted to excessive fOrest fires. Hunt-
ing parties careless in their camping.
are thought to have started the confla-
grations. Marine underwriters are ap-
prehensive of numerous strandings on
account of smoke, and bulletins from
the lower end of the lakes are watched
for with great anxiety.
Chicago’s southern wards and sub-
urbs are, surrounded by prairie fires,
and dense smoke overhangs .a large
part of the territory lying south of
Seventy-fifth street. Hundreds of acres
of prairie have been burned over and
thousands of feet of sidewalks and
fencing consumed. Firemen in this di-l
vision of the city are completely ex-
hausted fighting prairie fires by day
and night. Most of the fires are started
by sparks from locomotives, and,not
infrequently by mischievous boys, who
set the grass on fire for the excite-
ment.
A dispatch from Bremen, Ind., says
the most disastrous prairie fire known ,
ink'the history of Marshall County is
now raging. Hundreds of acres of land
in the northern portion of the county,
comprising what is locally known‘as
the “Big Marsh," is a. vast smouldering
waste.
breeze, the heat bursts into .a blaze,
and, darting across clover fields, corn
- fields or- meadows, lays waste every-
thing in .its path, only stOpping 'when
headed off by pIDWed fields our-high-
ways. The drought for the lastwsixty
days has made the pastures brown,
compelling flocks 'to 'seek- the lowlands
for grazing, where the fire is smoul-
dering underneath. Many instances are
. reported where cattle, in passing over
the treacherous ground, have broken,
through into the burning peat and pera
ished.
Farmers are kept busy day and night
fighting the flames and preventing de-
struction of their homes, but the lack
of water makes the battle almost hope-
less. Just west of Walkertcn more
than one thousand acres have been
swept of every vestige of vegetation,
many thousands of tons of hay- and
'milcs of fences having been consumed.
With fire on every side, great anxiety
is being felt for the safety of towns
without fire protection. Nothing short
of a drenching rain can possibly check
the progress of the flames.
LANGTRY GOES INSANE.
Former Husband of the “Jersey
Lily” Sent to an Asylum.
London, Oct. 6.—-Edward Langtry,
whom Mrs. Lily Langtry recently di-
vorced, has been sent to an asylum for
the insane.
Mr. Langtry was found walking, ap-
parently dazed, on a railroad track
near Chester. He could giVe no ac-
count of himself. _
'Mrs. Langtry is said to have been
married privately to Prince Paul Es-
terhazy.
Edward Langtry was born in Ireland.
He first came before the public in 1876,
when he married Emily Charlotte Le
Breton on the Isle of Jersey. She was
the daughter of a clergyman. He was
quite wealthy in those days, and Lily
Le Breton was sincerely congratulated
by her.friends. Soon after the mar-
riage she made a- great sensation in
society by her beauty, and"the Prince
of Wales became one of her most sin-
cere admirers. She then separated
from her husband. _
BASE- BALL FIELD.
Baltimore Takes the Second Game
of the Temple Cup Series. ‘
Boston. Oct. 6.—Baltimore turned the
tables in Boston yesterday in a lively,
game fullof hard hitting, sharp field-
ing_and fast work on the bases. It was
in sharpsontrast to the slovenly game
of Monday and the six thousand root-
ers went home satisfied that they had
‘seen one of the fastest games of the
year, though their favorites lost. The
.day was clear and bright, just the day
for a batting contest. Klobedanz, Sti-
_vetts and Corbett, all three, came in for
a terrific pounding. Corbett was in on
both sides of the fun and led the hit-
ting with two singles, a double and a
homer. The following is the score:
