r THE CHICAGO DAILY TRIBUNE: SUNDAY, APRIL 27, 1873. THE CHURCH. _Deséfipfion_of_ the New St. " James’ Episcopal = T Fourth Unitarian Society Will To-Day . Dedicate Their House of Worship. Universalist and Unitaian Conven< tions This Week. Programme of To-Day’s Ser- vices in the Churches. Episcopal and Catholic Calendar .for the Week. Among the many churches that added to the ‘besuty of our city before the fire none was bet~ ter or more widely- known for the beatty of its “edifice, the extent of ita charities, the social po- aition of its congregation, or its general influence In this and néighboring communities, than 8t. James’ Episcopal Church. Founded a very fow ‘years after the first settlément of our city, it wes kmown and recognized amongst Episcopa- Jians o4 the “ Mother Church of the Northwest,” and its ministers have been amongst the ablest . a0d most eloquent in that denomination. Only s few montlis before the fite the new ‘building, sitnsted on the corner of Cass and Hu- ‘yon streets, had been fully completed, and the massiveness of the sirncture, as well as the rich- .ness and elegance of its finish, was a source of pride to the city gencrally, &5 well as its’own people. But the fire came, and, aait spared noth- ing in its track, the great churches of the North /Bide were all swept awzy, and amongst them St. James'. In its destruction its congregation par- ticipated more fully than those of most churches; for, with scarcely an exception, they lost their lhomes at the same time as thieir church, as St. James’ stood in the midst of its parish, and so s congregation was left homeless as well as churchless. ) . It was within a few weeks left withonta pas- tor also, us its' then rector, Dr. Thompson, was called to New.York, and accepted the call. With characteristic Chicago energy, however, the con- gregation_came together, subscribed & fund for immedinte expenses, and called the Rev. Arthur Brooks from Williamsport,: Pa., who accepted the call, though offered three times as grest pe- «coniary inducements by s wealthy Philadelphia’ congregation. i Fortunately, tiie walls of the vestibule wera loft stending for soms twenty .feet in height, and, a8 ewrly in April as- the-work could be ac- somplished, this was roofed in and finiched, soss to make s neat temporary - chapel, seating nearly. Bteps were then taken to rebuild the church, and, plans being décided on, furnished by the" well-known church ' architects, Messrs. Faulkner & Clarke, & large number of pews were sold o Tadvance; and 'the work commenced. | Fortupately the grand old tower, 140 feet high 1nd aboxt 25 feet square at the base, proved too s0lid to be destroyed, and, thongh the bell was welted ag ithung in the air by the intense heat, the tower itself remains, scarred, and, in-some Pl shattered on its exterior, but destined to stand through mauy foture yoars as the *firo monument” of the North.Side. The- beautiful war monument, erected of Caen stone and white marble tothe mmol"{ of the young men:of the copgregation who fell during the war, was so protected by tho iron beams snd maso: westibule that it also escaped almost »nd stands in its old placs, ocen north end of tite vestilule:at the tower. T o With most of the *show part” of the church thus left, it Temained to construct the church proper, and this i8 baing dono on a scale that ‘will make it one of tho grandest church_ edifices in the contry. Its extreme length will be over ed, the entirs e of the 80 feet, while the entire wi across %ha' mnze ta will be about 109 fest.

L1487 15610 13,581 The propristor of one of the grain-doctoring and mixing mills that disgraco this city is trying to mako poople believe that the charges agninat the nofarious trade, and the men who conduct it, are false ; first, because thero is no doctored barley sbove the grade of rejected in the Bock Tsland Elovators, and, secondly, becauso he has not & sulphur bath in his mill, and “ would nos touch doctored barley™ if he knew it. The late ter claim is true, but its value may be under- stood when it is known that hosendshis inferior barley to other mills to be put through the brim- stone process, aud then has it sent away with all ‘posgible speed to find a customer before it ' “gpoils.” Even if it wero true that thers is no anl%lmretad barley sbove the grade of rejected in the houses named, the fault lies with the In- spectors, and not with the gentlemen who do e doctoring, But our remarks included grain- mixing as well &3 grain-doctoring, and thero can. beno doubt that the gelling value of every Enda of barley in the Rock Island Elevators s been depreciated, either by mixing or doctoring, or both., ~Neither is there room fo - doubt that the sellin, value of every bushel of barleyin this city has been de- preciated by these vile processes, thongh prac- ticed on only o part of the grain. Wo are as- sured that our straight No. 2 barley (any house but the Bock Island)is just as good as tho Canadisn barley, which is bringing 20@25¢ per bu more in New York. There is no reason why the two should not sell at exactly tho same prics, outsido of the distrust felt by Eastern dealers, ‘who fear to take hold of any barley from this a% because some of it has been tampered with. lowever much the manipulators may blow about their right to do what they will with their 0w property, the honest portion of mankind can 800 but little differenco between this practice sud tho raising of checks on a bank.

Tt has the right'ring to it 3 : Notice is heredy given that, in_order to provent injustice to holders of warehouso receipts for low grades of grain, the Assistant Iny will be instructed, on and after this date, to pass all grain that may arrive in an unmerchantabie condition, or that has been subjected to any chemlcal process, or that ‘has been mixod with screenings or othier refuse matter 3s “unmerchantable.” W.

Hohad doctored grain him- gelf, as & good many others did; but dccasion- ally they wonld get ‘trippad up on a car, and the loss’ was moro than the gain on doctoring amounted to. Undoubtedly he spoke the senti- monts of all but the Chicago sharper ones, who can play tho bower ovory time. : 1t is o singular fact that some of our largest roceiveraof grain from the country are on the bear_side of the market, especially in corn, which wonld seem to bo directly contrary to the interests of their clients.

Last week's supply of 19,853 has been followed by 19,355 this week, a miuch larger number than ever received during a ding pericd in any former season. Yet such bas been the char- acter of the demand that the supply at no time seemed oppressivo, and the market maintaing the firm tone that has characterized it for the past four weeks or more. Notwithstanding tha fact that within the past fortnight over 50,000 beeves have been sent eastward from thia point, elono, there has been no overplus in any of the markets below, and no_depreciation in values. Tho truth is that the middle and Eastern Statea aro now pretty thoroughly drained of fat caitle, sud from this timo forward until early fall, the sea-board markets must depend slmost entirely upon the West for their supplies of beef. Dur- ing the first half of the week the arrivals, com- paratively, were modorate, and prices took & &harp npward turn, advancing s strong 3c all around, but nnder the nnexpectedly heavy re~ ceipts of Thursday and Fridsy (9,215 head “wera yarded) a somewhat ousier feeling obtained, and at the closo prices show very little diffcrence {from those current at tho close of tho provions week. As fo the quality of the offerings no fault can be found, the bulk consisting of emooth well-fattened, well matured steers of {rom 1,100 to 1,450 b8 average, for which the ruling prices were $5.00@6.00.

Already we hear of immense droves B0 that have been started northward, and it is esti- mated thet at Elsworth, Wichits, and Coffee- ville alone over 500,000 cattle will be received this year. Owing to the unparalleled steady se- verity of tho past winter, and the exi 8 back- ‘wardness of spring, the cattle will not bo resdy for market at as early s period 68 1n former ces 8ons, but they will ufll]flllh!edl‘y come in better condition, the experiences of the past having clearly demonstrated that there is no money to bemade in sending them forward until they ars fit for uln\;ghter. < To-duy the demand for the different grades wan fairly active, and & firm tone pervaded the mar ket throughout.
