Waits Kablbttlaa WU1 Opw HoadsT The fourth, annual black and white exhibition of the Chicago Society of Artist will open on Washington birthday and continue two weeks. The inauguration of the event will be celebrated with a reception Monday evening at the galleries of the society In the Athenaeum Building, No. 26 Van Bursa street.

The invitations issued for the reception are themselves work of art, the front page being illuminated with an appropriate design in black and white by Will 2L Bradley, a member and exhibitor, In the collection may be seen 231 different pictures, which are the work of about sixty different artists. The present exhibition, it is claimed, far surpasses any former one of the kind, both in I the quality and merit of the works exposed' to publio view. The three styles' of black and white work shown are pencil, pen and ink. and wash drawings. Mr.

John H. Vanderpoel, president the society, Mr. Jules Guerin and other member were busy yesterday hanging the pictures so that they might apnear to the best advantage when visitors came to inspect them. i The effect in the galleries will be very striking. To begin with the drawings are all framed in white, the walls are draped in white, and the ceiling bss a canopy of white.

Speaking of the quality of the collection, Mr. Guerin said "It is an object lesson which will doubtless wield much influence In convincing Western publishers that the work of illustrating can be done here in Chicago as well as in New York. Because it nasi been the custom to go East for such work in the past, many of our best Western artist; have gone there in order to obtain employment. W. T.

Smedley, Charles Graham, and Arthur Davies, whose 'names are familiar, are all Western boys. Thus New York reaches oat to the West to find some of its best talent" The collection embraces almost every subject from a noisy street scene to a pastoral one! In a hasty private view which was given to representatives of the press yesterday many good things were noticed, i A "Study Head in Pencil" (No. 163). by Mr. is finished very minutely, and with' the customary skill of this well- known artist.

He has nine drawing on exhibition, "At the Opera" (No; 88), a pen and ink drawing by Horace shows three figures, two ladies and a gentleman, in a pros cenium box. The handling is extremely good. "Waiting for the; Evening Flight" (No. 124), by Jules Guerin; is a capital pen and drawing, taken from one of this promising young artnf a water oolors. i "Design for Decoration of Window (No.

87), by Isabel McDougaUt will attract attention through He quaint originality. Willie, Baby, Percy, Frank, and Jack, in silhooettew appear against the window; in various attitudes. I Walter Borridge displays but drawing, a clever and dreamy bit of wbrk entitled Tbe Old Boat Houses' (No. 183). William Schmedtgen shows several pencil sketches of excellent ease, sjneor man a boat under a stormy sky, is particularly striking.

"An Impromptu Sketch Class' (No. 63). by W. L. Stevens, as good as any pen and ink work in the exhibition.

interviewing a popular actress at 10, waiting to interview a great man; at 12; noon, going "to report a tire at 6 p. attending a fashionable i re ception: at 11:30 p. receiving a tip for a Si met little "go," and at 1 a. grinding out 'copy." i Pictures which are sure to attract attention are H. Vincent's "Wood Interior" (No.

139), H. G. Marattas "French. at New Or-lan" (No. 134), and C- A.

Corwin's "Spar Yard" (No. 221). All these are wash draw. ings, and show fine effect in coloring, combined with great sttention to detail. Arthur Feudels "Brook Scene" (No.

143), suggested by Tennyson' poem, is a charcoal drawing, veryTfood. in treatment, and quite different from the genera) run of such works. The directory of exhibitors to this exhibition includes the following names Fred Richardson. Arthur Young, Hugo Von Hofsten. F.

As might have been expected, the lecture of Mrs. Annie Jenness-Miller on dresa'j reform, delivered yesterday afternoon under its auspices, was brilliantly successful. There was a very large attendance, the entertainment showed capable management, and Miller' talk and the question it called forth were extremely A committee from the association officiated as ushers, and Mrs. Miller was introduced by Mr. Sarah Wilder Pratt, ia the absence of Mia Mary Allen Wait, the president of the association.

The boxes were reserved for the members, and among the interested- listener were Mis France Willard 'and Lady Henry Somerset. The seats next; the 'boxes were occupied by members ot the Society for Physical Culture and Correct Drees, among whom were two of it chief exponents Mrs. Charlotte Holt, of the Woman's Pro- tective Agency, and Mrs. Frank Stuart whose lecture at Chaatanqua! last summer attracted such wide attention, i Half a dozen doughty men, including two reporters, were permitted to remain snd see the gown that were shown, but were de cisively informed at the outset that when it came to chimilette and divided skirts they -would as axFScrsD to xaaTS. There were several selections by a mandolin orchestra and then Mrs.

sMiller came before her audience. She is a beautiful woman, with a figure almost perfect, judged by the severest standards of art She is perfectly proportioned, the lines of the waist and hip being especially graceful. She has a throat and a poise of the head like Juno, and her features are almost aa perfect as her form. Her eyes are dark land the nose straight the mouth, teeth and chin especially fine. She msy be an illustra-trafclon of the outcome of physical culture, but Nature undoubtedly helped matters along most generously.

She wore at first a rich reception dressy the front breadths of black silk embroidered In pale pink and green in fine Bulgarian needle work. The sleeve were short and were draped with black chiffon embroidered to match the skirt; and the modest V-shaped front ofXbe corsage was softened with same filmy material. It had a court train of thick olive-sreen brocade, and was fashioned after the modes invented by the wearer. To: her slen der and erect figure it was the ideal of grace and artistic perfection. After showing the gown by turning round and walking to and fro before the footlights Mrs.

Miller plunged boldly into her subject She thought it earring coal to Newcastle to discourse of correct dress ia Chicago, which bad now one large society and two off-shoots, all devoted to disseminating the new ideas. She had made her beginning here, but her teaching had been adopted with a readiness that left little for her to say. She intended to illustrate her remarks with gowns for various uses, and stated that she hsd once made an engagement to lecture in a Western town with the gowns to be used for the same purpose. By a mischance her trunk did not arrive, and the only available gown she hsd was the traveling dress which she wore. When she broke the sad new to the committee of ladies who received her one of them remarked, with an outburst of frankness i but, Mrs.

Miller, it waa your gown that we wanted to see 1" The speaker theo addressod herself to' the sating minority of 1 tttb TBOTTSxas-wnAsdto sax. whom she was glad to. see present She thought they ought to be interested in healthful dress for women, in that they were husbands and fathers, vitally interested in the health of wtfe and children. She devoted herself at some length to male habiliments, which she pronounced hopelessly ugly and not nearly so convenient as they were rente. sented.

Their chief drawbacks were noted the un debarments in two pieces, suspenders that "hitched" and compressed the lungs, and were shed as promptly aa the feminine corset, whenever a man wished to be truly comfortable; shirt that pinched and rasped, and i stiffly starched shirt bosom which excluded the air in the most suffocating manner when the mercury stood up among the 0'. All this the men took good-naturedly and doubtless said "amen" under their breath, Then she turned her attention to that arch enemy of emancipated womankind the corset with it strip of steel crowding against the vital organs and making grace and ease of motion impossible. She bad been told by women that they needed their corset to hold them up, and thia waa because by artificial means nature had been relieved of her duty in properly and rationally strengthening the one would not advise au women to discard underwaista tr there were those whose figures demanded support, and for these she bad invented a simple and comfortable substitute for the corset i She then, talked of divided skirts with much persuasivenss and humor. She described the poor bedraggled creature hurrying along the wet streets, clutching a handful of muddy petticoats. She had Known herself what it waa to stand on a corner on a windy day, and try to unwind One charm of the divided skirts was that if they wound around you, they wound around each leg separately.

She had not worn petticoat for six years, i-' She also advocated union suit and dress gowns upon which to attach heavy skirts, so that there might do no bands or ligatures across the stomach. i -She wished it observed that i sas fossr ths woarr "rao. She saw no reason why, since the Creator had given women these necessary mean of locomotion, the term should be tabooed, Hsd it been deemed unfeminine the Almighty would doubtless have made women creatures without logs. j- She disappeared after having talked at some length to change her gown and asked that ah be timed. She returned in just one minute and a half in a charming dree of pale yellow surah.

The waist was gathered upon -aha shoulder to give the necessary fullnfover the bust and the full skirt was shirred onto the waist the sleeves being shirred about the elbow, falling in a broad name, with inner raffles of deep paint Duches lace. It waa as airy aa a cloud and she explained that it was for a young-girl at the developing period of life; when perfect freedom and absence of constraint -were absolute necessities. She raised her arms above, her head and waist through several difficult gymnastic movements to show that there was no reason why abe could not- play base-ball in the pretty dress, but for the too voluminous skirt She explained that it was made upon the foundation skirt, cut in two pieces, and it fastened in the tack, tho fastening being concealed in the gathers.

Some one asked where the baby was, and ths mother said: "At Dansville, in the sanitarium. She then explained that she was about to set out on a long lecturing tour through California and could not expose the child to the fatigue and danger of such a journey, and had placed her instead where she would be welt oared for.

Having with us the son of one of the candidates, and being ourselves warm partisans of the Queen, wa were anxiously awaiting the news. The result is a clear victory for the Conservative party, the nobility and the -Queen. Samuel Parker, the present Premier, and a man bead ar shoulders above all others on the islands, teas been retained, and this will be the most gratifying part to all oar friends. Wilcox and Ashford were elected, it is true, but Wilcox always is, and neither of them counts for anything at all.

The little flurry which such men occasionally raise is made much of in American papers, but such things receive no attention at Honolulu. If there is any change this election has made these men more insignificant. In a general way, nowever, the election is just the same in its results ss though the Bepublican party should be retained in power at Washington in your coming election. There is soma talk on the part of the defeated party of contesting the result before the Supreme Court. I doubt if any such attempt will be made, and even should it be, certain failure will follow.

There is not the shadow ot a cause for a contest. If any ouch cause existed the election itself would not have parsed off as Orderly as it did. Nevertheless, I expect shortly to read the usual account of a revolu tion under the leadership of some of the defeated party. Don't believe any such thing jf it gets into prink I presume the fact that there is no cable to Honolulu permits the garbled way in which Hawaiian news reaches American readers. On the very day on which J1 the American press announced the death of the Queen she was driving with Mrs.

Graham at Honolulu. The Queen is not likely to die 'soon, and eves, should she the monarchy would not end. TL; heir-apparent is sure to ait on the throne with a safe and strong Con. aervative party in power behind her. The republic is not yet, and annexation was not even an issue in the late election." Five hundred Democrats, big and promi- nent, and every 'one of them adherents of GroTer Cleveland, will be quartered at the Grand Pacific during the Democratic Convention.

For some time Messrs. Drake, Parker Co, have been in correspondence with the friends of Mr. Cleveland who began the fight to defeat Hill and bis early convention, and yesterday Mr. Parker announced that be had agreed to house the biggest delegation of from State the Grand Pacific ever held. Colonel Parker has a list of some of the prominent Democrats who will be here during the eonventron, bat under an agreement made he withhold a them.

The avowed intention of the 500 is to work, for the defeat of Senator Hill and in the interest of the ex-President. Even if it is thought advisable not to send a rival delegation from New Tork these 600 will be present to protest that New Tork is not solid for HiU. A bitter fight will be waged between the two factions, and Democrats who beard of the big Cleveland demonstration yesterday argued that it was only another knock-out blow for both Cleveland and Hill, and that as the bitterness of the fight grew the wisdom of selecting a Western man would become more and more apparent.

What are' the objections to; the National bankios system and what rerni-dial legislation would I advise As the mere embodiment of uniformity In rules and restriction for the safe conduct of banks of deposit and discount which any fire reputable citizens' procuring the capital may organize anywhere within the United States, the National banking system has few Antagonists. Apart from the privileges accorded them by law, to is sue notes for circulation as money, the National banks are not aggressirely an. tagonised in any quarter. Under the requirements provided and conditions which hav arisen thls privfiege of note Issue is no longer valued highly by the National banks. Therefore, and notwithstanding that it would tax your patience to recount the patriotic achievements of this system of National bank note issue, the remedial i legislation which I would urge would be merely a law enabling the National banks to abandon this privilege of note issue voluntarily.

It seems to be daily more and more confirmed by their; pocket interest in the $340,000,000 of greenback paper circulating aa our money, although popularly, regarded formerly, as it still is my mind it is, therefore, inconceiyable thai Congress should ever again provide a charter provision or neglect to tax out of existence any State charter provision, by which the volume of money Li' the United Btates shall depend hereafter, aa sometimes heretofore, upon tne pront to Dane rrom their issue of circulating notes.

It would, therefore, seem to me a profligate waste of me touching this sul ject, and to which you de sire replies, sreas follows: In of the fact that the bonds upon which rests bur Natioual bank circu lation will soon' be retired, what da yon suggest as a substi'ure for that feature? i What are the objections to our present National banking system, and what legis lation do you recommend to remedy Nbwf in response to the first question, I would say. that, the issuing of money being one jiof the greatest prerogatives of; the State, it must, in my opinion, in all coun tries, be token away from the banks. There is no reason why a bank should issue paper money, any more than, there is that' it should issue money of gold, silver, or nickel. The paramount difficulty in the wayof banks Issuing, paper money i that they must give security for the final payment of that money. In order to do this they are obliged to invest their capital in bonds, and then commit the absurdity' of going into business with that capital invested otherwise than in that business." This is fatal to the system and should, if were' no other, good leason, cause it to be abnndoned.

All money most in the futnre be issued by the government, whether that money be of gold, silver, nickel, or paper. In (response to the second question touchr cljectioos to ths National hauling 1 tern as it now exists, and the neressarr legislation to obviate I would say that the provisions in retard to reserves are erroneous, because based on a wrong prin ciple; while that restore wmca permits a bank to count as part of its reserve bal ances doe It by its reserve agents; is, in practice an aczraTaoon of this erroneous I prmapie. few Ti S'W The fundamental principle governing banking, and the touchstone ss to its safety, is to bet found in the relation which the loans of a bank bear to its own capital and surplus. This was -pointed out by Carey more than fifty years ago In The Credit System in France, Great Britain, and the United In other words, a bank, like, any other, trader, is to be judged aa to whether it does or does not overtrade, Jf the people of -the United States desire to exercise a healthful control over the National or any State system of, banking, they must enact i law providing that the loan and discount a bank. shall not exceed its surplus, snd undivided profit more tbn 100 per cent, or, at the very outside, 150 per cent To legislate as to the amount of legal tender money which any bank shall hold is to Introduce into our midst the vicious i English system of acting on and arbitrarilv limitiiur the money, the instrument of association of the people, in circulation, and giving unlimited license to banks through their loans to create deposits, the currency of the few, and the mesne through which those few are enabled to swing a great empire and en slave its people.

Besides which there ia no stability ia the operation ef a banking system based upon such a piece ef i eiu- Pinoism, I i The manner in which the counting ef balances dne by reserve agents, as a part of the reserve of the National be comes vicious, is not merely that It pi; at the control of banks in New York Ci large sums of money bv mean of to foster speculation, but because it to aggravate the natural flow of money from those places where money is scarce to those where money is plenty. For instance, with; 'capital, surplus, and undivided profits of the Nai tional banks of New York City on Kept. 25. 1R0L owed to Nationsl banks 20O317. or ever $18,000,000 in excess ef their own net worldly possessions.

Now, we may just here, properly inquire what is done 'with these New York Citv balances belonging to other National banks? On jvery high authority it! is learned that this money is loaned to Wall street nominally "on but only to be had when called at such, times a there Is no pressure. In order to avoid breaking the market, in sending stocks down st a run, these banks are obliged in time, of pressure to indulge the stock broker and therefore call on the business man for hi cull loans, 'or to cease to give to that business man-further time loans. Not only is this extremely bad in its effects on best-' nesa in -New York "but throughout the country it aggravates every period of finan cial uistur Deuce among out ot tne overtraa-ine of banks. Naturally the money of the country baa a tendency, at all times to leave the weak cnmrrtnniMes) ana re to xne powenui ones. Ia other wordnv where there is most money there does money most accumulate.

The first writer to point out this fact Carey, and when world, has accepted a full belief ia this great law an end will be put to that! destructive monetary legis lation, dictated by false economics, and with which mankind have tons been cursed. Treating of money; as the instru ment of association, ministering to the first and greatest, the paramount need of man, that of association and combination of fel- lowmea. Carey not only aaw that thia tendency of money was such, but be proved why it was so; In powerful communities associstion and combination are more fully developed than in weak ones, and in those communities there Is less waste of labor Dower and censeouentty the largest accu mulation of wealth. In such communities are to be found the largest auantity variety of thing at low prices, and hence the nower to demand both the custom and the money of the people of the weak communities. This i was in opposition to the teachings of the entire orthodox school of economists, both British and continental; but it waa and is the truth, and the sooner this truth is accepted the sooner will mankind be made free.

This being the law of the movement of money, when we obtained as the greatest result of the war, a currency of uniform value throughout' the length and breadth of this land, thia law found the material upon which to act which it had never in the past, with a1 eurxency which could not maintain itself Is circulation, because not current away from home. The result of this was and fa that to-day- the money of the country has a powerful 1 tendency to find its wsy to New York, Philadelphia; Chicago, Boston, Baltimore, and other cities, and this' tendency is aggravated by the vtcloua provision or the bank by virtue of which a bank is enabled to count a a part of its reserve, deposits in New Tork and other cities which it could not, if in it own possession count, unless they were in the form of legal tender money. To sum up: I jam favor of having everytmng ta tne: similitude of money to emanate from the Government, thus be ing "current, money of the realm and nothing else: of obliging the bank, if the present system of reserves is persisted inJ to seep tneir reserves at home, lint 1 am In favor of regulating the operation of bank by obliging them to keep their loah ana aiscount witmn limits fixed by re lation between those loans and discount and their own capital, surplus, and undi vided profits thus not permitting them recklessly to overtrade, aa fat all do th a a -v -m jowisTocK. oanjcs ox jnkrj.

At the conclusion of the forenoon session Attorney General Hunt waa interviewed by a -representative of Taa Ijrraa Ocean ia regard to the line of argument he followed in hie -statement of th case to the committee and the point made in regard to the applicability of the Australian ballot law to town meet- ings. The Attorney General presented substano- ally the same argument be ba followed from the beginning of this discussion. The key- stone to his position is the statement that "The Australian law furnishes no substitute for the present township organization tne new law contains no repealing clause, the old law remain, and under its provisions township elections may be Hunt cess 'many defects in the la wss passed by the last legislature.

In the pveewntation of his ease before the committee he adhered ia all main respects to his first position, The Attorney General said that many countrv communities of less than one hundred or five hundred voter did not need the safety guards of ths new law, and objected to the useless expenea. xs A woaxt, General Hunt's view of the sjuestkn was substantially this That so far as the Ass- tralian ballot law provided for the printing nd distribution of the ballots, so far was it clear and easy of application at that point, however, there came up the question ss to the application of the township organization. act, and it seemed to him (Generai Hunt) that the supervisor continued the iudse of election, and the machinery provided by the Australian ballot act did not apply, inas much as the law otherwise covered iL Dm. cisions were cited by General Hunt, such a that in the 101 111., page 6x1 et where the Supreme Court had decided that the words election and "town meeting' were not convertible terms, and that while there might be a town election' at a town xoeetina.

yet the election was an incident to it, and not the town meeting an incident to the election. The Attorney General cleared up the popular misconception as to what the town meeting really waa. and showed by decisions, ouota. tions, and otherwise, that that which is commonly called the town meeting, namely, the meeting of qualified electors at 2 o'clock ta the day, for the transaction of certain business, wss ia fact and in law merely a srjecial order for that our, and should not be confounded with the strict and legal meaning of the phrase town meeting, as defined in the decision rendered in 1883 by Judge Scholfield, oi tne xuinoi supreme ixjun. -r General Hunt' opinion, as he expressed it after the meeting, and as he ia understood to have stated it to the meeting, is thisi The ballots should be printed and distributed according to th provisions of the Australian law; then the election or town meeting should be conducted a far aa may be in accordance with the provisions of the law, although at this point the Australian ballot act is admitted to be very deficient; and (bat he does not believe, with substantial agreement between the qualified rotors of the towns, there will be any difficulty ia conducting the election as indicated.

It i that this is all he has eon tended for, and ia thus contending he felt he was merely fol lowing the law and the decisions on thia most importsnt subject. Judge T. Fullerton, of Otlsws, who Is Chairman of the executive committee of the State Central Committee, waa invited to giv hi view on this subject. Ha had prepared a statement, and submitted it, although, aa he explained, he had bad time only to carry out hi argument to a limited length, He asked the indulgence of the committee in card, and expressed satisfaction at the ful presentation of th subject by Attorney General Hunt. Judge Fullerton said I rcDoa nn.i.KSTos' vraws.
