Above the exact spot where it was born the new Chamber of stands. May 10, i57, the Rev.

Bralnard Kent, christened "Father Kerf by those fdr whom lie uved aiid worked, bent his steps to this region, and pacscd through and through the awarmlng rookeries and gambling dena and Jow saloons of "Sbinbona alley," tbe Devil's hal! acre," "Pllferhlre. and avenue. He seised with loving hans ragged, neglected, dirt-begrimed bey, until he had gathered around blm fifteen of thsm. Irish German, negro, 'a motley company of rapscallions, gutter bred and gutter trained. He drove them before him.

with kind words for whips, to an empty freight car on the tracks of the Lake Shore and Michigan Southern railroad. Where the empty car stood was where the Board of Trade building uow stands. Into mis car me noys were driven, seated on stools, and here commenced tbe history of the Kallroaa mission cf Chicago, known all over the land. It flourished from the start. Th- single car before the close of that year graw into a train of ave oars all freight cars, but made cosy and comfortable.

The Intent mission wis ministered to by women from the Flra Presbyterian church. The Lake Shore and Michigan Southern Railroad company also lent its helping hand, giving the free use of its cars and seeing that as Sunday came around "the railroad tram mission Sunday school" was In its place and duly washed and scrubbed. A little over a year after the starting of the mission, when it became ambitious to have a more spacious and convenient home, the company gave a location lo its freight yards on which to erect a roomy frame building. This building, the ra stationary home of tbe mission was erect- ed, at a cost of $1,800, near Van liuren. on Crla wold Ic this building the mission worked for years, the dedication service being held srr juiy 4, isos.

This building was urned in the fire of 1871. On the second Sab bath after the lire the Sunday school of tbe mUklon gathered In Trinity mission, chapel tft belonged to Grace Episcopal church, on Fourth avenue, and conducted" services for ecvera.1 weeks. It was then transferred to the Jewish sycagogue, Wabash avenue and Peck court, where it remained for a year and a half.

building was then erected on the eat side of State street, the building containing a chripcl, reading-room, etc. and costing In a few years after the erection of this building the mission sold its home and moved to its present location. Tbe Dearborn street building has a frontage of eighty feet and a depth of about 100 feet. It coat about 140.000. and Is a thoroughly equipped church building in every way.

though still retaining the modest name of chapel. The organ lur Iil'bed for its use-coet about Negotiations for the sale of this building are now pending with the Zion African M. ta. church at No. 2948 State street, which is being helped by a national home mission association in raising the funds for the pur chase of the home of the Railroad mist ion.

with all Its equipment for mission work in the way of reading-room. Bible-room, kindergarten, and sewing-class room. The negotiations are not yet completed, though Mr. W. H.

Swift. the matter in charge, thinks that they soon will be. Twe reasons are given for selling the prop erty. One is that it located so near to tbe Armour mission that it feels It is fighting a losing: flarht with such a rich competitor. Tbe rther reason is that the northern part of the Armour and Railroad mission district has within the past few years almost changed its character.

The colored people have marched in and the white people have marched out, hence the desire of the Zion church to step in. The First Presbyterian church thinks that with the money obtained from tbe sale of the property it can carry on successfully two new missions, one of which will, no doubt, become heir to the name of the mission that started in the early adolescence of Chicago in a railroad car.

Mogab la an Armenian rug dealer, and was carried a short time ago to Miss Celestine Gibbon of Keckuk, Iowa, a niece of Judge Gibbons. He formerly lived at the Chicago Beach hotel, and the suit grows out of a raffle of a costly rug, which in the drawing fell to Mrs.

Friedman, but as It was claimed she had not paid for her ticket in advance, the prize was not allowed her by Mogab. This drawing was one of a series that oc curred at the hotel, while Mogab and the Friedmans were stopping there. -The refusal to allow Mrs. Friedman the rug, which was valued at $350. led to the prorecutlon of Mogab before Justice Porter.

Friedman charged him with obtaining money by false pretenses, and with operating a lottery. The rug dealer's arrest at the time caused a sensation, as he was sitting In the rotunda surrounded by laaies wnen taken into custody. Ths incident was the rotfp of the hotel for days, and when tbe man returned to the hotel he claims he waa ostracised. The Armenian was finally aceputiea on notn charges.

Honeck has entered a plea of guilty, and all efforts of his attorney to get him to withdraw the plea have been fruitless. "I sm guilty, and I will not deny it. is Honeck' caclaion.

Winder, a brother-in- law of Admiral Dewey, is In Chicago on hi way to Washington to meet his Illustrious relative. General Winder is a veteran of the Mexican war and of the rebellion. After eighteen years of service in the regular army he retired in 1S65, tzi aatll few years ago lived as a civilian in San Diego. CaL He is at present in the employ of the government ia tbe Indian service. General Winder arrived in Chicago yesterday morning, and is stopping at the Palmer house.

Admiral Dewey and General Winder married sister, the daughters of Ichabod Goodwin, "the fighting Governor" of Vermont, that state's executive during tbe war. The General wedded Abbie Goodwin, the oldest daughter, in 1S51, when he was stationed at Portsmouth as commander of Fort Constitution. A youaaer sister. Susan, married Lieutenant George Dewey some years later when he waa at the Portsmouth navy yard at Kittny. General Winder expects to see his sob.

160 acres. There are 6.000 Sioux at the Rosebud agency. They will not be permitted to dUpoae oX their lands for a period of years. As soon as the allotting is completed, patents will ia sued to the landholders, and they will become citizens. On other reservations where the Indians have been given their property this way, it has been the policy of the gov ernment to cease supporting them as soon as they were located, and it Is not unlikely that this may be done bere also.

"Captain Sam High Bear, chief of the HO Indian police, wanted to come with us." added General Winder, "bat we were afraid would lose him. He aald he would look after us and protect us as he did on the agency. We have not been eaat for thirteen years, and we told High Bear it would require a policeman to take care of us and another for hint. too, if he came along." General Winder has had a long career In tbe -American army. He waa appointed to a com mand during the Mexican war, aad caw serv ice In the land of the Montezuma.

He was visited there several times by George Dewey, the last time in lass, a hen the latter waa on the tight-house Speaka at Adalral "I always knew he stood high in naval circles." raid General Winder, yesterday. "He was recognized as being very thorough and Of course. I never could dream he would ever accomplish such great things as he ha.

I knew him for a man of fine sentiments and feelings." Before coming to the Dakota agency the ueneral allotted the land at Round Valley. California. There the Indians were given ten acre each of good real estate. Northwestern Nebraska, which he had passed through coming to Chicago, is, he said, a dreary region.

"There are houses on every hand and barns and fences where the settlers first located. All are deserted A year ago half a corn crop was raised, the first show ia the five season I have beea at the Rosebud agency. The country is flt only for grazing, ana is not mucn good for that."
