At a quarter to 11, Mayor-elect Heath vislted the offico of City-Clerk Butz, and was by thal clover oflicial sworn fnto oflice, The requieito documcents were slgned, certitied to, and re- corded in due form, an operation whichrequired mbout fourtcen minutes.

Mr, Prindisflle, of the Boardl of Publle Works, says hie has received no offlcial inthnation yet, but ns soon as he does he will, if so ordered, light but one-half the lnmrs now in use, such half as may be designated by the Council. He declines to expreas uny oplnion ubout ity though from hia manner it Is clear that lio has no par- ticular faith In the matter. Mr, Zimmerman, Sccratary of the West Side Qns Company, sald ie had riot given the matter much thougiit, and the Company had not con- cluded what course thoy were to pursite in the premisca, As for the lamps which would be' shut off, the burners would be removed and caps put on to prevent the surreptitious use of Fms h‘v indignant cltizens, Whlich half would ho lighted he dldn't know, and could forta no Jjudgment from what he had read or heard. The Secretary of tho Bouti 8ide Company de- clined to say inythlog in the absenco of the Presldent, further than that caps wilt be put on the unueed lamps, ‘The officers of both Companics agree that the contracts call for the lighting of so many lamps, and the city canuot sununarily abrogate that contract, but they say they are” willing to meet the Council on liberal terms, and by substitut- ing B-foot for G-foot burners, and by lighting later and cxtingulshing earlier, decrcase the consumption, and collaterally the expense, and at the same time keep nll ‘the lamps golng. This would be better fur the Companies than to light but one-half, for the item of leakage steps in n:ld plays no unlmportant part In the new de- parture. Muyor Heath would only say that he intends to give the Council sn opportunity to reconsider the matter. A number of atizens have walted upon him and protested sgainst the diserimina- tion contemplated by the order, and when the Councll refuse to reconsider, blcn he will act, though ho could not say what that actfon would be. GONT; UNDER. A LAWYER BPECULATING ON 'CHANGE. Mr. E. F. Runyan, for several years woll known us o lawyer of {hia city, and later as an operator on the Board of Trade, has drawn down upon himself the denunciations of that body by ordering hia attorueys, Messrs. Avery & Comstock, to warn the depository of cer- tala margins of his not to pay them over when they were loat ou certaln “deals” of hls in wheat. It appears, from sll occounts, that Mr. Runyan, who has been 8 hard-working lawyer, had, up to the time of the panie, accumulate conaiderable land, mnlulf In speculative Wost Park property, but In the financlal depression he recelved o severe blow, and this was aggra- vated by the fact that he lost fully $50,000 by haviog too much faith in such worthies a8 Bam Walker. Other things went ainst him, and finally he wont upon the Board of Trade, ond, being o stranger to the ways, he “guessed wronz!' a few times, and, lnstemd of making money, lost about w),mb. At tho tima of the rccent sudden drop in wheat, Mr., Runyan waa betting that It would go up, and, when he fonnd out how much lie had lost, he, in fact, refused to ])l{ his bets. Legally speak- ing, ho was right in what he was doing, and had declsfona of ‘the Bupreme Court on his side: but in polnt of ‘commerchl honor ! he was ™ all wrong, The fact that the Preeident of the Board orderad the monc; pald over, after the lawyers had forbade sucl action, complicates matters, and will probably take the case into tho courts, In connectlon with the Board_of Trade caco somo anc has raked up against Mr, Runyan the story that ho sold to a German, named’ Bitten- hausen, living in Bremen, Cook County, & tract of land for sfis,ooo, and that lic sold © 8 'notes and mortgage without Indorsing thereon certain snyp.mcnw, amounting to 82,500, This story oea not, a8 yot, ssem proven. Mr. Runyan is at present in Michigan, stop- ping with a sister, and anid to be so_unwell ns to be unable to return to the citv. Mr. R, has been & member of the Weat 8ide Park Board since it was created In 1869, and had opportuni- ties for b“flmi property which would bavo made him wealthy had it not been for the panle of 1673, He was wlso for mnng years a member of the Board of Education, and was once a can- didate for Judge, but was badly defeated, WHISKY.

Mr, Parkhurst scemed to regard a formal teachers’ meeting in the city on Baturdny as unneccasary, and thought the noon meeting in Farwell 1all on that day would sup- ply every nced. Ie eald there was abundant opportunity for teachers to prepare themaelves, by reading the Bible and consulting thu varlous commentaries, and adyocated tlio mora thor- ough observance of this pian, 'he Rey., Lowis Meredith, of BSterling, IIL., advocated tho holding of Sunday-school rnycr— mectings, As o pastor, he had found that” he could do better service brv wurk(nfi among the teachers and acholars at [Iberty, than by tylng limself down to the conduct of n clasa, "The Rey. Mr, Baum warmly advocated teach- crs' mectings as the best means to keep up tho interest n the work, The Rev, Henry Hill, of Halsted8trect Church, spoke of the successful work In lifs school. He sald, with some fecling of paruonablo pride, that Iio hiad never been nbsent from his schoof but once, and that was when the anow was 15 fect deep, and lie had no way ta get there. Ifodid not often exdn\n%u l);ulplu. and thought he knew liow to salt his own shicep alittle better thanany stranger did. He was a real worker, and never took a vacation. Ile concluded with an appeal to the teachers to instruct their children fn sound doctrines and to thus countoract the 1dle notlons of the prescut day. 2 Another gentleman advocated tho practice of having the children commlt yerses to 1actory, ond gald he had seen the benefit of this system In his own case. Mr. Krummer, of Galena, rald he had kept & record of the verscs learned, and had rowarded tho echolars with marks of merlt. Ic had found this K‘ifln to work ndmirably. The Rev. Mr. Clendenning safd_he conducted aTibleclnss himself, and preached or talked five minutes to the children every Sunday after the service. Ho frequently preached upon the sub- Jueet of the Sunday-school lesson in the evening, and found it a plan to draw out the opintons of the children. The Rev. Mr. Hill expressed o great deal of concern on the question of how to keep the young ladics In the Sunday-school, and thought, 2 young lady waa in danger of slipping out un- 1csa she united with the church bofors” she hiad reached theage of 16, In his oplnlon girls at Wawect sixteen’’ were even worse than boys, The Rev. Mz, Curry thought It was a “good plan for the parents to study over the lesson with thelr 12-year-olds, and to attend the school thomsclves. “ITe had found no difllctity in re- talning children in tho school, and he “thought 1t wua due, in o great mewaure, to this plan, The Rev. Dr, Ostrander lhm;Fh!. when boys arrived at the age of 13 or 18 they should trented as young mon, and even inore than that, as the teacher's partieular friends. lo would make_them feol that the teachier was working for them, Ile had found this method of taking children into his confldence to work most successlnlly. Mrs. A, J, Brown followed, sdvocating the eome mcthod. 8lie lad tried It with alarge class of boys of 13 or 13 yoars of ngu, and no other,plan was attonded with such gratifying results. 8lie invited them to her house Vory often, snd, by taking o personal interest in them, hod the satisfaction of knowing that many had been converted. ILLUBTRATIONS, At 10:00 the Rov, Dr. Ostrander exhibited his Mustrations of Oriental lfa ond manners, as- sinted by nbout thirty members of the audience, men, women, and children. The characters ine cluded the Jewish high priest with his bonnet, broastpinte adorned with twelve onyx stones, one for ench of the twelvo trives of Isracl; tho fire-worshiper; the Au{rhm King, with Lis lonF,hcnvy crfmaon robio, his fingers borne down L with the welght of several massive rings; tho aulf-satisfied ~ Pharisec; John the Bapist, dressed [n his camel's halr costume; Perslan chicfs; Ruth, tho Bethlehemlto: Arub Indies and servants, ete. As each of the char- actors nYlpcnmd on the scene, Dr. Ostrander gave a ahort and conclae oxplanation of his or her characteristice. The funeral scenc, with its hired mourners and the other aceessorles of o heathen sepulture, was quite reallstie. 2 Tho excrclses of the morulnfi closed with the slnging of afew Arablc songs by the Rev. Mr. 8pencer, and the noonday benedliction by the Rev, Dr. O. H, Tiffany, The afternoon programme was Introduced b; 8 bricf nddress, A recess was then taken untll #:80, when the Rev. Dr. Ostrander and his apt nupflu were again on deck with some §lus- tratlons. These fncluded the Eustern slieplierd, bearing n “snide™ pet lamb in his bosoin and carrylng a shiepherd’s crook in his hand; the Easiern woman winnowing graln; and the Arab school, with scholars of varlous ages and yarlous degrees of awkwardness, An fllustration was also glven of au Orfental wedding, with appro- [xrlule uxplnnmg:{ remurks by Dy Ostrander on he system of soclal barter in'vogue in the Last. The whole up were then Y\ oumru%lmd by Hesler, of Evanston. After tho assembly had returned a vote of thanke to Dr, Ostrander for the painstaking cfforts he hod put forth tomake lils part of the Jxrugmmme usuccess, tho after- noon mecting adjourned, A PRAYER-MERTING was held in the Evanston tent at 7 o'clock, and ut 8 o'clock tha assembly was addressed by Father Taylor, of Ban Franclsco. 1s remarka were followed by an oxhiblrion, by Mr. Hesler, of Evanaton, of saome {llustrations’of Bible and other views, events, and chavacters, with the ald of the stercopticon.

The enmity of Biurgls for Custcr has long” been known in armny circles, It was no doubt a very galling thing for him to know that he wna Ina manner “lald on the shelf?? while Custer was reaping the glory of his (8tur- gls’) command,~that the loss of his son has added to his bitterness no one can doubt, but from gnecring remarks of “Young Amcrfml," aud applylng the epithet to Gen, Custer, the fact must be patent Lo all that his bitter feelin arises from no worthy reason, but from onc thai 15 cutlrely unworthy of Col.

The reasons are, I think, evident, viz.: the mintmum sum should be 850, and not $500. Very many who have small sums on deposit in the savings-banks would gladly changao them for thoso certiflcates, us they bear a higher rato of Intereat; the sccurity is amplo; and thoy have lost confldence In those savings- banks from the rceent faflures of some of those concerns, such as the Cook County, Another reason I8 that, tha very mon who were loudest In thelr denunclations against the city ‘bore rowing moncy on those certifleates having Rot into ofii ccl‘ plun%u into the same ox- pedlents, If the authoritics will fssuo to its creditors only one-year certificates at 8 per cent, lussen its’ extravagant expenditurcs by discharging onc-half of tho uscless horde of tax-caters, sell fts unused real estate, and com- [wl the army of tax-fighters to Ru{un ar havo helr property soldi thoy would then have no need to borraw, but_could conduct its bualness on acash busfs, and {ts cvidences of indebted- ness would be largely bought by the banks who now refuse to help Chicago. —_— .

CnicAao, July 10,~In seekiogn space in your paper at this time, when the conslderation of natlonal questions occuples so much of your valuable lournal, 8 writer should have good aud sufliclent reasons for asking for that which otherwlse might bo devoted to bettar and more Interesting matter, When the interest of any portlon of the com- munity in which we live #s affected, sud their position mlestated by a portion of the dally preas, and they themsolyes misrepresemted by Intefested parties,it should,and wo bellevedt will, be conaldered a sufficient reason for appaaling to an {ndependent and important journal like Tun TRinuNe to placo our gricvances boforo an impartial and discriminating publie. Actu- ated by this feellng and a senso of duty to ow- selyes, wo have been prompted to set forth e detalled account of the lock-out of the jour neymen tallors employed by what are known ns the first-clnss merchant-talloring cstabllshments of this city, such as Ely & Co, Perry, and others, The class of work mado by these cs- tablishments requires men of firat-rate akiil, so much go that thelr talents must be closely al- lied to the * artistic,” as on thelr judgment de- pends to = greater or Iesser degree the manly and finely-molded forms of mosh of our gontle- men who _promenade our parks, frequont our drives, and graco our parlors. To acquire 8 knowledge, s taste, and o skill 80 necessary in a calliog that has so much to do In making up the deficieneles of naturo requires years of patient tofl nnd mental study. For, though a coat, vest, or 'pl(r of pants may bo cu by a tirst-class cuiter, i the artlsan who puts them togethor does not understand his busi- ness, besides laving a good iden of the s; try of the human frame, all the ability of the cutter Wil be of no avall, The practieal tallor, as well 88 belng an artlst to a certaln degree, must olso be more or less of a sclontist, as must all who have anything to do with the human body. it will bo scon that tailors of this class are not . ordinary individunls. Thc{ sequire a apeclal tralning and education to it them for thelr vo- cation. Surely, then, men employed in o call- Ing requiring so much proparatory tratning, and afterwards the oxercise of so much L‘i‘dgmw.' g and ekill, ond ability, arc cntitled to more than ordinnry compensation. Yet thelr cmrlni'm aro not willing to sllow them even this; for, woro they {the Jjourncymen) towork regular hours, as mocbauics do, they would not, with their prescnt rate of wages, be abla to procure the common necessaries of life, Btrange as it moy scem, it is nevertheless true that & journeyman tallor working o regular day of ten hours, cannot make but $3 per day, pro- viding ho has regular and steady work. But this they do not lave, as their eenson lnsts only slx out of the twelve, months in _the year; that is to say, from October to January, and from April July. In the intervals “between tho seasons they dohave occasional odd jobs. About one in every two or three wecks, not suffivient, however, to make any material difference in the aggregate of their yearly wages, W: will now sea what a journeyman tailor, working_for a firat-olass catablishment, can make,' To make o coat {n the stylo and manner these estallshments must have it made ro- quires fifty-two und a half hours. Allowing ten hours ns & day, It would take flve days and one- fitth of a day to make a coat for which ths joumeyman s ald $13.70. To muke a palr of pantarequires cighteen howrs orbne and four-fifths ol & day, and gives to thy workman o fraction .over $3 per day; and to male a veat it will take fourteon hours or ono doy -and two-fifths, and giveto the maker a fraction under $2.25 per duy. Now, If we take theso figures a8 o basis, and take the busy sea- son which lnata, as heretofore shown, only six months in the year, wo will obtain tha follow-, ine results: A coat-maker will make $375, & vest-maker will carn $337.50, snd a pants-mnkor $300. Now allow to cach, during the dull season, to make one-third of fhe above nmount,—which by the way I vory liberal,—and wo shall have the following as a yearly me: A cont- afl;cr, $500} a vestmaker, $450; a pantsmaker, Now for the cause of the “lock-out " which ot present oxists, for the public must ~ understand there {8 no striko cxisting at the present tims, A lock-out differs from a strike in this, that it fa s method adopted by employers to reduce wages. Those ‘who are not willing to pay the exist! ':_fi rate of wu;ica dlschargo thelr hands and hire than over ngain at reduced rates. The cause of the *lock-out ** {s that the flrm of Ely & Co. notl- fled thelr hands that on s certaln day they would reduco their wages 25 per cent; aud the journoymen informed the firm they could not accept the reduction, and the men were dis- charged. Perry and some others followed suit, and.the rest are awalting reaults, ‘This belng the dull scason of the summor pe- riod, the employers, feeling confldent that the could put oft such customera as wers from yarf- ous circumatanccs unable to leave town, deter- mined to reduce wages. Knowing, or belleving they knew,—which amounts to the same thing, —the situation of the men, they arounder the impression that a few weeks' enforced dcness would compel them to sccept the proposed re- ductfon In prices, and hence tho lock-out.” ‘The enonnlllv and unrensonablencss of the proposition will bo casily upderstood when we consider that the yearly carnings of o ekilled mochanic in this department of industry, at the present rates, amount to the nsirniflcant sum of $500, and that a reduction of 25 per cent on thia would leavo but $75 as the reault of a year's toll. Wo ask tha American peoploif that {alr yearly wages for Amuricanslilled mechanies. In tho above atatement we have but merely glven the facts, snd as they are given they are inore {n favor of our employer thau ourselves, for we have made no allowance for loss of time in taking our work toand from thostore, which, in quncnl, involves a Joss of half a doy's time, and not unfrequently when we have a coat to be tried on it incurs tiro loss of u day ; Lesides shop-rent and other fncldental expenses of which we do not speak. In conclusion, we would say our only object in coming betore the publlc is to sot our- selves right. We huave been tho *subject of much misrepresontation, and a great offort has been mado to placo us in & wron| Eoeulon before the, people of Chicago, o ave been denfed by our cmployers, if not di- rectly, at least by’ implication and indircctly, the right of assoclatien,—a right which we bo- lluvafo be sccured to evory American citizen, and one which we conaider no nian or body of men has any rigzht to interfers with, We submlt our cause to tho falr and lmrur- tial judgment of the American public, feeling confident it will accord to us that which our em- ployes deny us, and that is, JusTICR, e 5 $2,000,000 LOST, Not exactly lost elther, but omitted from the assets of the seml-annual statement of the Natlonal Life-Insurance Company, U, B, A, which was printed in last Bunday's TRIBUNE. ‘The omission occurred shrough the “carclessneas of o printer.
