Fifteen Dollars a Mead at Moody's Chicago Mission
The Moody meeting in Chicago drew over 4,000 young converts and raised about $60,000 to pay the Young Men's Christian Association debt. Critics compare per-head costs to cattle prices, noting $15 per head as a calculated outcome by religious journals and denouncing the costly revival enterprise. A Cheyenne telegram reports a fatal shooting between horse herders near Galloway’s ranch. Ben Ali, a leading southern lawyer and statesman, was elected United States Senator from Georgia.
