Not a Descendant of Bishop Chase. To the Editor of The Chicago Tribune. Cricaco, Sept. 18.—In your issue of yesterday your Galesburg reporter stated that Miss Nellie Chase, of Galesburg, recently united in mar- riage toSam Monroe (colored), was a grand- daughter of the Inte Bishop Chase, of the Epis- eupal Church. While we deeply sympathize with the afflicted family, it is due to the Episco- pl Church to state that Misa Chuse is not 4 ln- val duscendunt of the late Bishop Chase, nor vf that brinch of the family, She was a grand- daughter of Jonathan Chase, of New.

To the Editor of The Chicago Tribune, Curcaco, Sept. 18%.—The hight of barcfaced impudence bas been reached in the manipula- don of an entertalnment to be given at Central ‘4usic-Hall in this city on the Wth of September, under the auspices, or rather for the benetit, of an institution known as the Chicago Press Club. The Chicago Press Club was organized some months ago by a few writers for the afternoon, morning, and weekly press, and among its mem- bers are two orthree who occupy proimnent itions on the newspapers of Chicago. A few OP the members have got together, resolved themselves into opjects of charity, and have de- termined that they will milk every one whe bas dealings with the newspapers. in the most re- mote Way, or who occupy any Kind ef position, Political, theatrical, or otherwise. They baye Jevied upon the leading theatrical people in turn, and ‘these people, laboring under the erroneous idea that they are in some vague way indebted to the young writers who have resolved themscive3 into the nforesaid objects of charity, have conseated ty gratuitously give their servioes-for the entertuiument. ‘Those who cannot appear on the stuge have veen called upon to contribute to the financial success of the scheme, and have been Dbulidozed into the purchase ot tickets. It is but fair to say that the munjority ut Chicaro journalists discountenance the whole affair. They reournize the fact that they baye no claim upon the public whatever, and object to any in- stitution with which they are associated being imade, by a few inconsiderate men, an object ot cbarity. If the Press Club is in suck a condi- ton of financial embarrassment thut its direc~ tory bas to resort 10 such expediente, it is high time it took the road of {ts predecessors in this aity—oblivion.

Paper Signed by the Inmates—Its Noli- ity Explained, _ To the Editor of The Chicago Tribune, © _ > Ciutcaco, Sept. 16.—A ponderous brick “structure with a massive chimney rises Prominently above the level prairie near the corner of Indiana avenue and Thirty-ninth street.’ This ts the Old People’s Home of. Chicago. Thete is nothing in its outward appearance at all suggestive of the charm ‘and comfort usually associated with the word home, Brtasa rough exterior often hides a gentle spirit, so let it be granted that this institution, so much resembling an -in- sane asylum, :a poor-house, or a vinegar factory outwardly, possesses inwardly all the virtues, und all tho sunshine, and all the privileges of atrite home. ; 5 ‘This institution was chartered under the general laws of the Statein 1873. Like all other corporations, it derives its powers from its'charter, and, like an individual, can sue or be sued, enter into contracts and ba: held responsible for their violation, and for all acts of bad faith. The power of this institu- tlon, in the Innguage of its charter, is. “to provide 2 home for. ald people who have never been public paupers and ought not to be treated as such.” Jt further provides for 'frustees who shall hold the property and Jadopt by-laws. . The Trustees then, as well as the Board of Managers, can do. nothing valid which is in derogation of the object named in the obarter.- It follows, then, that Whatever powers may belong to the keeper ofa poor-tiouse, the matron of this institu- tion has no source from which she,can de- rive any authority to enforee any rule,or regulation whieh deprives the inmates of any right, privilege, or franchise that belongs to a “home,” in the popular neceptation of that word. But, itamay be asked, suppose the in- mates have signed a paper reading as follows: Do you understand, consent, and agree that your admission to the Home is not by reason of any right, or in consideration of any puyment violin, by Burnap; “Wak Re song ant “ Pendul: on your part, but because its proper authori-. ties, so fur as they know you, and are: acquaint- ed with your dispositton, habits, and character, think you worthy of its care; and that by such adinission you acquire po rights not subject to their discretion, judgment, and determination, that you are at all times to be gubject.to, and to Obey each and evaty rule and reguludion thoy have made or shgltmake, adopt, or recognize, for itg management and the conduct of its in- mates; that you cheerfully and without ques- dion shall, and will at all times, render such aid and assistance in the necessary work of the Home as the Matron or her authorized assistant shall require of you; that your remaining in itis to be at all tlmes a matter in the dizcretion and wholly within the control of the Board ofsManagers and the Board of Trus- tees, and that at any time, and for any reason, they, or a majority of such Board of Managers present at any reguiar meeting, or a majority of the Board of Trustecs prosent at any regolar meeting of such Bonrd, bull think expedient and suificient, they shall have a right to oxpel you from it, and to remoye, orcause you to be removed from it, using bodily force if necessary: Provided, however, that {f you shall bo so ex- pelled at any time within one year after your adailssion, the honorarium, or sum paid on your admission, shull be returned to you, less $5 a week for each week you shall have been an in- sate of the Home? z My reply is that this document in no man- ner abridges the rights of the inmates nor increases the power of the Trustees. As far as it provides tor the performance of reason- able duties, it simply declares what before existed. But so far ag it assumes to clothe the ‘Trustees or Board of Managers with pr- bitrary power it is null and void. Were it otherwise these inmates have no home. They would be tenauts at will and their condition as intolerable as though they were subject to a feudal landlord of the Middle Ages. pauper at the poor-house has a surer tenure tothe roof that shelters him than these old | people to their boasted “home” if this paper isto determine their rights. It was-absurd to draw up such a, paper, it was an insult to present it for signature, and it is cruel to keep the inmates in a state of perpetual alarm by referring to it, About sixty inmates dwell here together, none less than 60 and many over 80 years of age. All are women, and-most of them have possessed homes.of their own in the past, und know by experience what it is to be treated with respect and confidence, In the school of domestic life their habits as well as their: peculiarities “have been formed. A. home for old ladies in the nature of things is not 2 house of correction, nor a boarding-schoo! for girls. On the contrary, such an institution should minister to the wants of the nged as they exist. ‘Their pecu!- laritles should be treated with kindness, and their imperfections with leniency, that those lives around which the falling rays of a near sunset are swiftly gathering may close. in peace.” Each inmate has pald. the sum of $300, and pledged his or her personal services for life to the best of his or her ability ‘and strength. in consideration of this the in- mates have been offered a home. ‘There are certain principles’ essential to every home, and these principles are guaran- teed to these inmates by the charter of this institution. Among these principles are se- curity to person and property, exemption from’unlawful searches and intrusions, the right to consider your own apartment’ your castle, and have dominion over it and custody of the key that opens it, to come and‘ go at will, to know that those who surround you are not spies, but friends npon whom you can rely as a guard of honor, that if tried it shall be according to law upon the. evidence, and with the assistance ot counsel, to know that every civil and social right is as’ sacredly guaranteed to them as to all other citizens of the Commonwealth, and to feel that ag their steps grow unsteady, and memory fallsaway, and nothing abides with them but their ‘poor sensitive hearts, that they have a door that closes them in against abuse,—a_ threshold across which the foot of insolence dare not tread,—a matron whose sweet love banishes every fear, and into whose sympathizing car they can breathe with confidence ‘their last farewell to earth, ‘That things are not ex- actly what they should be at the “Home” is a fact that ought to be more generally Hnownig Tt ought to be known, because the peace ard welfare of the aged inmates arein- volved; it ought to’ be known ‘because the charity which is here distributed is a public fund: and it ought to be known to the end that the grand concéption embodied in’ this charter may be speedily realized. In my next commuinication I will set forth the evils of the present management and the remedy, “" > SpNEX. THostas. ; . English.

While every man at all versed in the values of the country, with scarcely an exception, will tell you that real-estate is-the cheapest thing in the market, comparatively few sales are made from day today, With the millions of money lying idle in our banks, these facta appear pass- ‘Ing strange. Not only is money abundant, but it can scarcely fail to become .more so. Foreign countries are sending. us: millions of gold every week. to -purckase. our breadstuffs - and other farm products, cotton, petroleum, and ‘other articles; our gold and silver from our own mines remain in this country; the interest on our vast National debt is pald mainly to our own people; and nover before was anation grow- ing 80 rapidly in. wealth,—but ‘her. actual money is also rolling up ;into. the. hundreds of millions as never before’ in tho world’s history. What can the peopie do with all this money? Mining, manufacturing, ‘railway, commercial, and other enterprises give large blocks of ft em- ' ployment; but still there. are millions pited up in the vaults of ou? banks: all over the country -for which uo profitkble uee can be found: Now, if money is so plenty and real estute 60 cheap, why are not the transactions larger ‘both in number and amount? The fact is well eatab- lished that a majority of the great fortunes of the country are made iu our great ¢lties by the holders of real estate. Those cities are growing apace. Chicago bus passed her bulf million limit, und nobody doubts that betore the century oloses, Haack rca even eurly in tho nincties, she will huye’ her million and more, So far as human’ ken oan judge, thore is notbing in the way of her surely reach- that result inthe time specitied. Our rail- roads penetrate every part. of the vast teeming ‘West, and pour thelr increastag products into the Warehouses of the city, and soon two others will gpan tho Continent.

New York, Sept. 15.—Though I datethis letter in New York Iam a resident of Chicago, a city that Iam proud to refer to as possessing the best street pavements of any city on the Ameri- can continent. . In saying this Irefer to the newly-laid road- waysof Chicago which have been put down within the last few years; and in writing this I speak fromafull knowledgo of the different Kinds of pavement to be found on the best streets in the various large cities of the Unica, Even now, as { write, I look out upon the throng of omnibuses and heayily-laden waguns that crowd Broadway, where puvement of Bel- gian stone has been adopted, after many exper- iments with various kinds of material. The pavement in general use in all. the East- ern cities is made of stone, generally cobble, but sometimes a cut stone, This stone is in general use becuse jit is at hand inthe flelda-and by the roadside, and to be had-for a trifimg price. The Nicolson payement 1s not in use for the reason that it is expensive to get wood here and pave anew, while it is easy, if stone get out of place, to level up the street and relay them, There is, therefore, some excuse for the ex- iatence of a cobble-stone pavement In Eastern towns, but as 2 comfort and pleasure to the peo- ple it bears about the same relation to the smooth, noiseless, wooden payement of Chicagu that a cendic does to the electric light. It is truo the wooden pavement will wear out: 8o will a wooicn carpet; but most people prefer the comfort of tho soft and noiscicss carpet, even though they are obliged to renew it. from. time to time, rather than cover the oor with sheet-iron, which would last a lifetime. . Of course, a cut, squaro. stone, closely laid, is preferable toa smooth round cobble for a mavement, but at best: there are seroril’ ob- jections to stone in any form which Chicago peo- pie should understand, as they are about com- tmencing the extensive improvements of their streots. Among these are the follor 4 1. Their smooth surface strongly reflects the sun, and any strect paved with stone {s several degrees warmer in the hot days than it would be if paved with 2 material that absorbed the sun’s ys. ny While water on other pavement will quickly disappear, it willstand in the hollows of the stone pavement for days, polluting and defiling tHe Mtoue is tlways slippery, more fall 3.
