The ag- gregate age of the oldest couple was 100 years, the youngest 37. The oldest man who took upon himself the matrimonial yoke had reached the ripe age of 56, and the oldest woman, a widow who concluded to make a second venture on the matrimonial sca, was 65.

THE EXPO Annual Meeting of the Stockholders— Election of Officers. The annual meeting of the stockholders of the Inter-State Industrial Exposition wae held yes- terduy afternoon, President Asay in the chair. ‘The ‘Trensurer’s report showed receipts of $152,104.37 from the following sources: Bulance, $7,176.25; rallrond tickets, account of 18 $187.25; restaurant, 16 per cent, $1,457.01; cloak room, $585.69: elevator, gross earnings, $2,085.90; permits, $5,200.65; catalogs, $1,031.50; rentals, $8,013.92; ticket sales, 67,61! Bills payable, $30,000; eundries, $6,833.8). The disbursements were $148,763.43, leaving 0 balance of $3,310.92, ‘The Secretary read his report, woich was sub- stantially as follow: 2 DISBURSEMENTS. Warrants have beer driwn upon the Treasurer for the sum of $135,931.85. ‘She accounts Into which they are clussitied are as follows: Con- HOW; repairs, $3045.07; hubor, ui printing nud xdvertising, $9,127.83; personal property, $1,618.15; bills payable (bor- rowed money) and interes 1,016. insurance, WELSH; expense, S224217 The repuirs uccuunt includes several impor- tantitemsin the nature of betterment rather than ordinary repnirs, 03 for exnmple, changing the position of glass for tho roof, 3140) aquaria, $473; water-supply-pipe to the lak ‘$102, besides teluying and repuving the water, gus, and steam pipes under the floor throughout, taking down the ends of the main building. and renewing the lower portions ‘and foundations of trusses, the lowerIng of tho band-stand, etc. The expense account Includes several amounts which passed iuto the hands of the Treasurer in connection with the occupancy of the building by the’ Republieun Convention, 31.375; by the Koigbts ‘Templar, $3,721.31, and afterwards paid out on checks w purtics to whont it was due. OUTSTANDING LIABILITIES. Exelusive of capital stock, the outstanding Hapititics are, 60 far as known, 31,70u, which, being deducted from cash balance in thé bands of the ‘Treasurer ag per bis repurt of this dute, leaves a net balance of $140.82. Capital stock, represented by certificates of full shares, $2402; fractionul scrip issued by Treasurer by order of the Directors in 1875, ributed, be- longing to the corporation, $48 ata, 2,500. The number of shurcholders is 485, belnz an in- of fourteen since Just report. Ht is very’ desirable to condense the f omit scrip into full certificates as rapidly as possible. Even before the expiration of last year a critical examination of the bullding developed the fact that important aud somewbut costly re- phirs were algolutely necessary to wasure public éuntidenve in its safety and to properly preserve the property. ‘The northbalf of the inain tloar, which in former yeurs Bad, suffered decay vy reason of the esenpo of steam under it, and which bad served ns the bed of a skating-rink for two scasons, demanded entire renewal. | ‘The foundations’ and lower. parts of such of the trusses us bud not been reuewed were Known to be serfously impaired and rapidly becoming less reliubles In addition to these repairs, which were imperatively necessary und could not be aitrely delayed, itearly became a serious ques- don with the Executive Committee whether -chungés which. it not of prime necessity, bave for 2 Inug time been regarded us very desirabic, should be embraced in the plain and executed atonee, or be deferred in whole or in prt to & subsequent time. -To muke .the neces- sary repuirs and the contemplated change would require the borrowing of @ considerable sum of money, and there were certain causes, such ag the itement of a National election and holding of the Tricnnial Conclaveot Knights ‘Templar in August, proceedings whieh were gure to affect Injuriously the receipts of the ix- pusition of 1880. On the other bund. bowever, the orgunization is essentinlly a public enzer- prise. The City of Chicago, it was known, would usk that the National Nominating Conventions be held in this bu‘iding, and it was quite certain that the Conventions. the Conclave, and the Ex- position would attract more visitors to the city thin any previous year bad ever broucht. These. and such ag these,—strictly public con- siderations, together with tho real, permanent benetit to be derived from the proposed chinges: themsclves,—deelded the Comimittce to under- take them, even at the risk of failing to provide for a dividend or even of leaving the leguoy of a smult debt to the next udministration. Fortu- nately the receipts of the late Exposi- tion were, -43 always heretofore, equal tothe emergency, This public duty has been discharged; all Habilities of the organization are paid or provided for; the building bas been permanendly, improved and benutitled. accept vit is hoped, to the stockholders and to the citizen? ut urge.

MACHINERY DEPARTMENT. ‘The amount expended on this department is , to which may be added the cost, of Lexhibit of the manufacture of artistic Yr ie $661.20; total, $5,527.78. A considerable part of the foregoing was expended in tho pur- Ghusu of property needful for the proper opern- tion of the power, aud in tho renewal and re- piacing of the system of water and steam pipes connected with the power. ‘In the general and special features of interest, the vulue and elegance of the several exhibits, anc in the prevailing good taste of exhibitors in the installation of tbeir contributions, the supe- ity of the late exhibition over ail its preae- sors was unmistakable.

In mmy cases codperative stores have been successful in England, but for gome reason, not fully explained thus far, the-system is not uo- derstood in this country, and all experiments in that dircetion in large cities have failed. The thoorp is that stores conducted: upon tho coop- erative plan can furnish supplies to members cheaper than they can elsewhere be ubtained, because of the concentration of custom and the from RAY. reduction of expen: That this fs done in En- gland there {sno doubt, Mr, Thomas Hug! delivered a lecture on cobperauion In New York a few days since, of which we find the following synopsis in one of the papers: “The first society established in England, of any importance, was that of the Rochdale Equi- table Ploneers. This society, in the year 1871, returned {ts number of members as 6,021; its capltulin round numbers as £109,0W; its sales aS £246,000, and its profits as £23,000. In 1876 its members numbered 8,800; ita capital was £254,- Ou; its sales were £335,000, and its profits were £51,000. This shows a marvelous increase in re- sources. but this isa mere trifle compared with the Siutement of n member of the * Manchester Equitable,” as also given: by Mr. Hughes last night. Ho says, and we quotellterully: “Our system of codperation ig litersity a creation. It mikes something out of nothing, without work, or effort, or sacrifice on the part of members, In Igvu I fuined the Manwuester Equitable, paying a single pound for my share, In 1870 1 wanted money. I bad withdrawn no dividend up to that time, but a very small portion of the wants of my family bad been suppligd trom the store, and, when Lasked what there was to my credit, I was told that there was upward of which sui [ then withdrew. LT asked the same question some days ago (in April, 1: and then found that there wus standing to my credit upward of £3U, and so faras 1 was concerned that was u creation. [ had done nothing for it. Chave avoided going to the me@sings nt the store, because I was afraid that my words would pass fur more than thoy were worth.” ‘Those were very Inrge profits. Full prices must have been charged for the roods sold, and the sales. us. icated by the number of mem- bers, were large. Tho cupital was furnished by members, the custom was large, the expenses comparatively light, and there were no lusses from bad debts. Purchases and sales were on a cash basis in crder to have &, members in a single society, there must have been a dense population, and that of a flxea churacter. These conditions do not exist in this country; but evea. with this difference cobperadion might be nade successful, . A RIGHTEOUS WORK. Prosecuting the Soulless Rumscllcr.
