William 'plankinton. assignee of the Plankinton bank, baa at last made a protest against the charges 01' the attorneys for the creditors, who hare been trying to have him removed. Mr. Plankinton charges all of the attorneys who nave represented the creditors with appear Ing for numerous persons whom he said they were not authorized to appear for. While it has been the claim of Mr.

Plankinton that he has resigned his trust, he appeared, as the assignee this morning. The matter came up when Mr. Plankinton filed his answer to the petition of the creditors asking for his removal and for the appointment of Henry Herman to succeed him. Mr. Plankinton, besides charging that the attorneys appear for persons they have no right to represent, asserted that because of duplicate names and the presentation of names of persona who are not creditors, there was not a majority oi the creditors Joining in the The steamer Christopher Columbus of the Goodrich line made her first trip of the sea son from Chicago today, arriving here at 2:30 o'clock.

On board were about 1.500 passengers. Including nearly 1,000 Chicago school children, the Brat inauument oi lv.uuv or 12,000 that are to be given the trip during the week. The rebuilt whaleback made a sue easeful run. with Captain Smith In charge. he left for Chicago at 4:30, which will be her regular leaving time dally except 8unday, when she will leave at 6 o'clock.

The ex eorsionlsts were given a short ride in tally ho coaches, having but one hour to remain in the city. The park board has decided to appropriate 300 for a series of band concerts to do given In the public parks this summer, and the Milwaukee Electric Railway and Light com- nanv will contribute a like amount. The fund of 11,000 thus raised will, be divided as follows: Lake park. 1350; West park. S3w; South park.

$250. The remaining $100 will dit for four concerts arranged for next week. Aldermen Perthesius and Green have raised 3350, and the street railway company gave a like amount, for concerts In Lake park. The board arranged for six Sunday afternoon con certs in West park, beginning tomorrow, and also for two concerts at Lake park, one on Saturday afternoons and the other on either Tuesday or Thursday afternoons. The Stolper brothers, who were accused of having shipped barrels from their cooper shop that were of non-union make, but bore the union label, were found not guilty by a jury today.

The case was tried once before, and after a prolonged hearing before Justice Neelen the Jury disagreed. In the decision of the Archbishop Katzer case the Wisconsin Supreme court holds that absolute, ownership by a church association is necessary to permit the exemption of prop erty from taxation. This decision win permit no oronertv held) in trust for a church association to escape taxes and wll compel all churches to either have their title in the -church or pay taxes- the same as other property. Monslgnore Zeinlnger aald today: "This decision will, not affect ordinary church property, since all the property of churcn organizations that are Incorporated Is owned by the corporation Id the fee. In this case Archbishop Katzer testified that he was not the owner of the property, but Held It in trust for the church.

There is little or no other property in the state that I know of that would be affected by this decision, which, by the way. we think is based on a misapprehension of the facta. We admit that if the archbishop made revenue from the property by renting it the case would be different, but here it is absolutely used for church purposes, every bit of It." On the Whlteflsh Bay road yesterday afternoon a horse became frightened and a collision with a number of bicycle riders re-- suited. William A. Bremer, president of the Bremer Cycle Manufacturing company, and a well-known racing man, was carried to his home in an ambulance In consequence, and will be confined to his bed for some weeks, one of his hips being dislocated.

C. Spencer of the Milwaukee Chair company, who gave aa option on his plant to the chair trust, said today that there was no truth in the story that the deal had been declared off. He said: "The combination still has an option on my plant, which will not expire until July 1. I met some of the gentlemen Interested In the deal In Chicago the other day, and no Intimation was given me by them that the matter had fallen through. It may be that the story has arisen from the fact that the original promoter of the movement.

Mr. Mars den, has withdrawn from it entirely, and the deal is now in the bands of chair manufacturers themselves. As I understand It the options- on all of the SS per cent of the plants in the country will expire juiy unless me deal is cioseo oy mat time."

The county clerk could not find either the bond or the contract, and although the search has been kept np for the pest three days, neither document has been found.

Mitchell ot Chicago today brought suit la the Sangamon Circuit court to foreclose on a mortgage be holds on (40 acres of land to se cure the payment of a note of $32,000, held against Elijah F. lies, and the doom of tha Patrons' National Manufacturing company together with, the Jate of the new town of Mildred Is apparently aealed.

With the land goes two large buildings, already erected by the company, together with several thou sand dollars worth of machlbery that baa been placed' in 'The note to secure which the mortgage was given was made June 1, 18i'5. and was payable ten years from date, with Interest at 7 per cent per annum from maturity. Tha Interest notes were mada payable aeml-ancuaily, and default has been made in the payment of $980 ot the face of one interest note, and in the payment of taxes for the year 1898. amounting to $668.94. About tjventy persons who are connected with either the Patrons National Manufacturing ctmpacy cr the, MJIdred Bcflcilng company are made defendants in the suit.

March. 1894. the Patrons' National Manu facturing company was organized, being composed exclusively of members of the National Grange. The scheme was a bold one and crlg-tested in the mind of Major J. H.

Elward of Peoria. It believed that, manuf actor. era were demanding exorbitant prices for farm machinery and accessory tools, and this company was organized to meet the exigencies of the The idea was to build an im mense co-operative manufacturing plant, to be owned and operated by the farmers of the United States, and to supply Its varied prod uct! to' the husbandmen of the country 'at a cost greatly reduced from the market price of Eimllar articles. The manufacture of all manner of agricultural implement was included in the project. Their Ideas broadened, and the scheme soon enveloped a plant to establish a town about the plant, to becccupied by -the thousands of workmen who It was estimated would be rteadlly employed there.

The town of Pullman, waa pointed to aa an object lesson, and the farmer promoters could conjure up no reason why their enterprise was not equally certain I aucctss. -j The town of Mildred was built on paper. After a number of lots were disposed of at private sale an auction was held and several hundred lota were sold to the highest bidders. Then the Mildred Manufacturing company waa formed. This waa a suborganlza-tlon, whose object waa to purchase and manage the land.

The stockholders In this organization hoped by an aggressive pursuit of the business to place It on a substantial basis. Two years after the formation of the Patrons' NaUonal Manufacturing company, in 189, two buildings were erected, the main manufacturing building covering a space of 72x600 feet, together with a boiler-house 60x60 feet. Engines were Installed in the boiler-house, and considerable small machinery was placed in the manufacturing building. The buildings and machinery were paid for by the members of the Mildred Manufacturing company. A little work was done at the plant, but the effort was abortive.

Owners of lota purchased In the town of Mildred will not be affected by the foreclosure proceedings which has just been instituted. The Patrons' National Manufacturing company has other litigation on hand.

ROGERS PARK OBJECTS Wants Chances Hade tixMllwau-. kee and St. Paul, Ordinance. PETITION DRAWN UP Residents Insist Present Service W-' Be Maintained. Fear Change Trolley fresa Steaaa Will Heswlt la -4 Their Property The property-ownera of Rogers Park and vicinity last night expressed themselves as strongly opposed to tha ordinance introduced in the council last Monday night permitting tha Chicago.

Milwaukee and St. Paul road to change Its motive power front' steam to elec- I tricity on 1U line from Kinale atfeet north to the city limits. The meeting was held In tha Hillside, and Alderman Griffith of the Twenty-Fit la ward waa present to explain to the property-owners -what he knew of tha new measure and to premise te do all In kla power to secure for them tha safeguards they -demand in tha ordinance: Rr Yasey, president ot the Rogers Park Improvement association, presided at the meeting, and James I. Ennls acted as secretary. President Vasey explained to Alderman Griffith the purpose of the meeting and submitted a will be presented to the council committee on stree ts and alleys north, in which tha property-owners set forth what they believe ahotrid be included In the ordinance.

-The petition states that'll is the opinion of the property-owners that the ordinance should -contain provisions as follows: I That in making foe proposed cjiange of motive power there should be no diminution in ipeed of -the trains, and that the service shall he maintained as at present with the same time between Rogers Park and the city; that there shall be but one freight train a night awitched over the tracks north of Ful-ierton avenue; that, as the road will aave a large sum to lUelf by not being compelled to elevate Ha tracks, tha city should receive more adequate compensation, and that this compensation should either be devoted toward the purchase of a park In Rogers Park or that the city should accent owned by lb Chicago, Milwaukee and 8t. Paul road fronting on Lake Michigan for a public park in lieu of compensation. Alderman Grttnth Explains Ordinance. Alderman Griffith was aaked aa to the provisions contained in the ordinance now before the council and be stated that to the best of his remembrance It merely provided" for changing the motive power ef the roao from eteam to electricity, and that the compensation to the city was to be 95,000. The ordinance, he said, is now before the committee on street and alleys, which meets on Monday morning.

He repeated a conversation he had with Manager Parsons ot the Milwaukee and St. Paul road, in which the latter had assured him there was to be no diminution In the speed between Rogers Park and the city on the proposed trolley line, and that tha road would compete with tha Northwestern as now. Mr. Parsons had objected strongly to paying any compensation to the city for the change and simply would not listen to the proposal to give up the land the railroad company owned on Lake Michigan to be used as a park. He said that this land was worth over 165.000.

and the company could not part with It. Alderman "Griffith further said that Manager Parsons-bad told him-that the branch between Rogers' Park and tha city bad beta losing money aver since It was built, and ha AN: 1 1 to of ft presented a table of figures which the rati road maa had given him. ahowing the losa ot the company in live years. Secretary Ennis tafd'that the' people' of Rogers Park were not asking toomueh of tha railroad, and" that all they asked in addition tha park proposal waa that tha road should maintain the same standard of service upon tha trolley system that they did now with their steam cars. In a conversation which the property-owners had with President Ros-weir Miller ot the MUwsukee and 8U Paul road, the latter had told them that cars were to be run at Intervals of live minutes, stopping only at certain and the people did not see how the schedule of time could be maintained -with this kind of service.

Then, as to the intention ot the road to use the tTacks the trolley liner between 1 and 5 o'clock in the morning to switch freight trains over, he thought this would be simply ruinous to the property in Rogers Park along the line. He declared the intention ct the road to bo to make the trolley Una only a feeder for the eight trains of the main line, and for tbla reason the people wlahed tha provision for oby one freight train a night to be contained in the ordtr.ance. Several, other members expressed their opinions (ipon tha subject, and supported the petition read by President Vasey. A committee wlU attend the meeting cf the streets and alley committee Monday morning to ask that these 'provisions be included in the ordinance: and Alderman Griffith prom ised to do all In hts.power to carry out the wishes of the pecple ef Rogers rara PRESS LEAGUE ENTERTAINS. 1 Vj fiz-l 'r Informal BfuslesTe Attendee" by Orr bl Manured The Chicago Press league entertained at lta quartera, on Washington street, laat evening.

Many mothers and babes of Chicago's slums were given yesterday the first of a series of lake cutlngs planned especially for them by be Salvation army. The Initial trip, to Wau kegan and return, was made by the steamer City of Louisville, which left the Graham Morton docks at 10 a. and safely landed tLe party by 7 p. giving a stop of three hours at Waukegan.

Never did a lake steamer carry a stranger assortment of humsnlty nor a happier lot than the 250 mothers and COO children who "navigated" yesterday aa the guests of tha Chicago public. This free outing waa made possible only by the very generous contributions of eickels and dimes gathered by Salvation army privates, who, with their little red iron boxes and placards, had stood oa collection duty- during the past week oa the busiest down-town corners. The plan originated with Lieutenant Colonel George French, chief in command of Chicago Salvationists. The selecting ot the most needy women devolved upon tha command-acta ot the three Salvation army alum posts at Nos. 275 South Clark.

The charitable passes became so surprisingly popular that 5.000 of tttcna could not have supplied the demand. This experience decided Colonel French upon repealing such excursions at Intervals of about three weeks. Tha limit ot two children with each mother not strictly observed. for acme had aa many as four and five whom they claimed as their own. all under yen re.

Others, bsving no offspring, brought neighbors' children. Several grandmothers, who didn't dare to pass their own children, came with srandchCdren. Msny women wno Had received tickets could not come on account of tlck infanta. Though the Louisville did not leave until 10 a. m.

To moat of them it was their first lake outing, though the majority ot the adults had already had their first marine experience when they came over the Atlantic in the steerage many years ago. When alt were safely aboard Colonel French had oulte a eonaregatioa of national ltiea as the guests of the day.

Most of tha travelers came from around the South Clark street slum station. The Italians were in tha majority. Then there were German, Swedish. Norwegian, Hebrew. Rob em laa.

Overtake Hlnm. Astronomers tell ua that the day must coma when- the earth wiU, like the moon, wheel through the heavens a dead and barren ball of nui iter airless, wateriest. lifeless. But long, long before that time man will be extinct will have disappeared so utterly that not so much as the bleached skeleton of a human being will be visible on all the mill Iocs of square miles of the surface of this planet. Ccless by come huge and universal cataclysm the whole race Is swept at once into eternity, it la but reasonable to suppose that man.

like any other race of animals, will disappear slowly, and that eventually there win be but a single human being left aoms old, old man, gray-headed an bearded, and leit to wander alone in a solitude that may be Imagined but not delcrlbed. How will he die, this last relic of the teeming millions than once transformed the face of the globe and ruled undisputed masters of every other living thing? There are many fate that may befall him. He may go mad with the horror of loneliheta. and himself end his own miserable existence. He may be catn by the vast reptiles or giant insects which will then probably lateit the solitudes.

But his fate may be far weirder and more dreadful. Scientists say that, aa we burn the coal and timber we are still so richly supplied with, we let loose into the atmosphere an ever-increasing volume of carbon 1 acid gas. Much of this is taken up by plants, but not slL It must Increase and eventually poison the breathable air. filling the valleys and mounting slowly to the hilltops, where the lsst remains of animal life are striving for existence. The laat man will climb higher and but aventually the suffocating Invisible flood will reach and drown him.

Again; It Is said that the earth as it gets older is cracking like dry mud. These cracks will increase until at laat tbey will let the waters of the ocean and rivers sink into the fiery center of the globe. Then will occur an explosion so terrible as may startle the Inhabitants of neighboring The last man ia this case will probably be some arctic explorer or Eskimo, whom the vast plains of Ice around will cava from Instant death and leave to grill a few moments till the ice continents are swallowed by red-hot gases and Suppose these earth cracks develop more slowly, they may suck away the water without devastating explosions. Then the last man's fate will be the worst deecribable. He will die of The scene ot his death will probably be the great valley in the bed of the Atlantic ocean, off the Bratlllan coast, halfway between Rio Janeiro and the cape, where now six miles ot green water lie between the steamer's keel and the abyssmal slime beneath.

There, hopeleealy digging In the ever-drying mud. he must perish and leave his bones to parch on a waterless planet. The antarctic polar ice cap baa been growing thicker and heavier for uncounted ages. Tbe distance from the south pole to Ihe edge of this ice cap Is 1,400 miles. The Ice rises steadily from the edge to the center.

At that center it cannot be less than twelve miles in thickness twice as thick as Mount Everett la high. Suppose It splits. Imagine the gigantic mass water and ice that will come sweeping np north over the oceans and continents of the earth. Where, then, will the last man breathe bis final gasp? High- up in tbe snows of some great range be will perish miserably of cold and starvation, looking down on a huge, shallow sea, beneath whose tossing waters will lie the whole of tha races of the world. Or.

last, and perhaps dreariest fate ef all. the human race may outlive other mammals and last until tbe sun. as some day It mast, grow dull and cold, and vegetation dies from the chilled earth. Tbe miserable remnant ot earth's people must then slowly die out after ages of an existence to which that of the Eskimo of today ia a paradise. London Answers.
