The Emlamt thleafo Preacher Olre'i Bmmbi Why the World's Fair Shoold Hft Bo Ciw*e> tti lint Mr*iie VNk, ! Save It's Not Sinful. There is to be a combined effort on thb part of those who favor an open Fair to have the Sunday-closing clause of the law making the appropriation r e p e a l e d . S t r o n g influences are to be brought to bear,and, accpvding to Wash­ ington advices, it seems altogether probable that a ma- '/'jority of Congress will yield to the Z-Z pressure of the anti- * closing people. bk TRCMAS Some of the church­ es have now declared in favor of opening the gates seven days in the week. Among the most prominent clergymen who have thus expressed themselves is Dr. H. W. Thomas, of Chicago. In a re­ cent sermon touching on this subject he said: Imperfect as may be the present social order, the public intelligence, liberty, Justice, and general well being and doing of the nineteenth oentnry are very far in advance of the first cca- turv. But »bnost every stop of this progress has been resisted by an unwise, aVi&rrou- and dogged conservatism. Royalty andecclesiasti- ciem have resisted liberty and democracy: the new truths of ticience and re'.itrion have been contested at every »tep? and in the fierce bat­ tles radicalism haa sometimes been destruc­ tive In our most intelligent and liberal age the extremes of radicalism are less violent and dangerous; and where Ichurch and state are separated, ultra-coneervatism has lost the power to enforce ite demands. It can mfCke ugly faces, call hard names, silence and expel scholars and preachers, but can no longer im- prisoa.'baiiifih, and burn heretics; bui it still Stands in the way «sf the larger life of man. An illustration of this is seen In the meetings ana discissions of t he American Sabbath Union, and in the extreme conservatism in attitude of the churches opposed to opening the gates of the World's Fair on Sunday, ihe mistake of these eeneraliy well-intending people is in two things: they fail to see what t hi* World Ex­ position is and what it is for, and t&eir inter­ pretation of the meaning and uses of the Sab­ bath is too narrow. The nations of the earth have gladly con­ sented to unite with our country in a great Columbian celebration of its discovery. In this will be brought together the results, not Of four centuries alone, but of all the cent­ uries--the results of learning, art, science, gov­ ernment, relitfion. Necessarily, the cost is large; but it is not a business, was not proj- ©Ctvit v.'.cncy, hut vvas .iimlo by the money given by the people of our own city, by the different.States and the nation, and by the governments of the world. It is not a business for gain, but a great and friendly gathering of 'the millions of earth, cach land bringing its richest treasures, that all may re­ joice in the peace and progress of these great years. It is a -school, a church, such as was never possible before, nor can soon be again. Its educational, its moral, its religious value to those who look upon the galleries of art, the halls of machinery, the collections of antiquity, the results of all industry ana learning, and the growing beauty and good of the world, will he-incalculable. It means for each one a larger life, and for the millions of comparatively poor and laboring people this is the one opportunity of their lives; a scene to enlarge the life of the young, a vision to bless the ased before they go hence. And yet these conservative, puritanical Sabbatarians would dose the gates of this world school and church on Sunday, and in the name of Him who said, "It is lawful to do good on the Sabbath day!" Let the machinery be stopped Saturday night; let the morning hours of Sunday be for rest and worship: then open the doors, reduce the rates, and thus honor the rational observ­ ance of the American Sabbath by giving the poor and the laboring classes the best possible opportunity to see and enjoy this wonder of the ages. And the preachers and the educated Classes could not do better than to go and mingle freely and kindly with the people, aB guides and teachers to explain the great works of art. The labor can thus be lightened, and the day be rich in blessings to all. And why object to the necessary work, and to receiving money at the gates? Is it not work to open the churches Sunday? And what is the differ­ ence between asking the people for money at the gate, and asking them for money as soon as they get inside the church? All time is sacred; labor is as sacred as rest. The command to work six days is just as bind­ ing as it is to rest the seventh. Nature makes no change on Sunday, but Hod has appointed one in seven of man's days for rest, and man hallows the Sabbath in thought and feeling and act by devoting it to bodily rest and the improvement of the higher life, and henoe a portion of the day should be given to worship; but "the Sabbath is for man, to be used for hie greatest good, and hence no cast-iron rules can be laid doWnfor its observance; there may b© times when it is more religious to work than to rest or go to church. Christianity is the liberty of the spirit, and not the bondage of the letter of the law; and yet it is fort-he letter, and not the spirit of the Sabbath, that these rigid conservatives are contending. We should all enjoy a quiet Sab- bu,tfa day at tho Exposition; but c1o*m ing the gates will not bring such quiet, nor will opening them add to the noise and confusion, nor much, if any, lessen the travel. If closed on Sunday, people will stay over- Saturday and go home Sunday, or come Sun­ day to be here Monday. There will be two or three hundred thousand strangers here every Sunday for six months; we have to face this condition of things; and in no other way can theto be found so much quiet, so few ternpta- titnie to wrong, and so many opportunities and incentives for the good, as in opening the gates of the Fair. To my mind, it is not only narrow and unwise to close the gates on Sun­ dry bsifc a great wrong. And we must all regret that the advocates of the Sunday closing have ceased to be reason- „ able, not to say gentlemanly and honest, is i their methods. It is humiliating when minis- " tera of the gospel declare that it were better t© have the cholera in our laud than to have the Fair open Sunday, and say that those who ate opposed to their views are "disreputable," aisd speak- eneeriaajy of those is-ho observe tho seventh instead of the flnt day of the week aa the day of rest. 16 CHILDREN'S WATCHES. MANY LEGISLATURES MEET. Governor Flower In Hi* Message Touc&es ' on the Huffklo Strike. The New'York Legislature was con­ vened, William Sulzer, of New York, being mode Speaker of the House, and Mr. Maltby, of St. Lawrence County, the Republican leader. The Governor s message was read in both houses and an adjournment taken for one week. Gov. Elower, referring in his message to State institutions, discloses that he has visited nearly, if not quite, all the •State asylums, and he holds that his recommendations of legislation must •have the weight due to judgment found­ ed on personal obseivation. So close an inquiry into State interests by a Governor is unusual. The State has financial obligations amounting to $450.,) 00, and a treasury balance of $1,701,487. Touching the Buffalo strike, the Governor announces the expendi­ ture by the State to have been $192,647, and then adds; ".Employes have the right to strike and peaceably persuade others to join them, and in their earn­ est and lawful efforts to beiieflt their condition they may Always feel sure that pubi c sympathy is with them and agaiast selfish corporations. But every eitize® and corporation, every emjpk>ye aad employer, must observe and respect the authority law and government.41 Dealing witi the law against "sweat shops" and its results, the Governor says: "The present law does not go far eaough to remedy all the evils which have grown up under this system. If the manufacturer escapes the responsi­ bility and expense of running a factory , Clefcit VoOrhees dectja-ed tint nothing W«fin order but uM reading of the retnnuC Mr. Fow denoanced the proceedings as an unheard-of outrage. Gov. Patti- son's message referred to the Home­ stead strike and said the entire com­ munity seemed to surrender to the dis­ orderly element. He criticised the civil authorities for their weak action. The cost of maintaining the militia at Homestead, he says, was over $438,000. He rccommends that corporations be more heavily taxed and a tax raised from inheritances. The coal combines came in for a severe scoring. The DaHotac. At the Joint session of the two houses of the South Dakota Legislature Gov­ ernor Sheldon, after having been sworn In, delivered his inaugural address. The document was brief, and after con­ gratulating the people upon their pros­ perous condition, touched upon State matters and calls the attention of the Legislatures the fact that no provision has yet been made for the election of judges of various courts whose terms of office expire next year. It suggests an appropriation lor the World's Fair, .and urges the early selection of all lands granted for educational purposes by the General Government. It asks that changes in the law be made so that rail­ way commissioners will be elected by the people and that some amendments in the present ballot system be made. The chief interest in the session of the North Dakota Legislature centers in the contest for a successor to United States Senator Casey. The Republicans have a clear majority, and the result hinges on the decision of the' party caucus. Lively Session at Lincoln. An attempt to organize the Nebraska Senate fregan with a ballot for tempor­ ary secretary and resulted in a strict party vole: Republicans, 14; Popu­ lists, 14; and Democrats, 5. The Sen­ ate then adjourned till 3 p. m. When Secretary of State Allen reached h nox County in the roll-call he called "Ches­ ter Norton," the Republican, xhero was at once a protest from the Popu­ lists and Democrats, but the protest was overridden and the roll-call pro­ ceeded. although the Populists refused to answer to their names. At the after­ noon session the House organized per­ manently, elected James N. Gaffin (Ind.) Speaker, and Eric Johnson (Ind.) Chief Clerk, the Democrats voting with the Independents. Gov. McKlnley's Message. Gov. McKinley, in his annual mes­ sage to the Legislature, reviews the financial condition of the State, which shows a deficiency in the funds amount­ ing to $69,888.32. He says the revenues of the present year will not justify the sum of the appropriations made for the preceding year. He advises that econ­ omy be practiced, and that appropria­ tions be kept within the estimated amount of revenue. He recommends that the voice of the people be heeded In the demands made for reform ia mu­ nicipal government ( raitt Chosen Speaker. The Thirty-eighth General Assembly of the State of Ill.nois completed its permanent organization and is now in session. Some preliminary motions were made, and then, on motion of Free P. Morris, Clayton E. Crafts, of Cook County, was placed in nomination for permanent Speaker on behalf of the Democrats. Edgar C. Hawley, of Kane, was named for the Republicans*" Msw Crafts was elected. Stockbrldge Ia lMtdln|. ' " 1 According to a dispatch the S&iatff- rial question absorbed all the interest in the Michigan Legislature, which was called to order at Lansing. The Stock bridge and the Luce factions are hard at work, and, while each side claims the advantage, it looks as though the former would control, the most votes. William A. Tateum, the Republican candidate for Speaker, was elected, together with the other nominees of the *hepubUeaa caucus. Leglalatnfea of Other States.

Matik^am's address was not presented at the opening,,and no other business was transacted. TENNESSEE.--The House organized, but the Senate only selected a Speaker. After balloting all day the Democratic Senators in caucus upon the eighty- second ballot selected Senator W. C. Dismukes, from Sumner, for Speaker. The contest was a long one and aroused great interest, oecasase Governor-elect Xurney is in bad health, aad should he die during his term t-li-o Speaker of the Senate becomes Governor. MONTANA.--The Democrats have se­ cured control of the organisation of the House of Representatives, thus assur­ ing the election of a Democratic United States Senator. On joint ballot the Legislature will stand tkirtjr-six crats, three Populists and thirty-two Republicans. MINNESOTA.--The two branches of the Minnesota Legislature met aad or­ ganized. Republican eaueuses had been held and its officers chosen. After the members Of the House had been sworn in, W. E. Lee of Todd County was chosen Speaker, and F. A.

I want to buy some gooda to make a dress." "That money is mutilated, old gen­ tleman. t This 25-cent piece has notches filled in it, and this 50-cent piece, has been punched. You see they have been abused. I can't take them." •'Abused,? said the old man. "Abused," and he took up the 50- cent piece and looked at it tenderly. "And you wouldn't take it on ac­ count ot the holes. Heaven grant that I did not have to offer it to you. Years ago, when mr first child was a little girl, I punched a hole in this coin, and strung it around her neck. It was her constant plaything. At night when she went to bed we'd take it off, but early at morning she would call for her watch. When our John--you didn't know John, aid you? No. Well, he used to come tp town a good deal." "Where is he now?" asked the merchant, not knowing what to say, but desiring to show appreciation of the old man's story. "He was killed in the war. I say that when John was a little boy I strung this quarter around his neck. One day his watch jtotout of fix, he said, and he filled these notches in it He and his sister Mary--that was the girl's name--used to play in the yard and compare their watches to see if they were right Sometimes John wouldn't like it because Mary's watch was bigger than his, but she would explain that she was bigger than htm and ought to have a bigger watch. The children grew up, but as they bad always lived in the woods, they were not ashamed to wear their watches. When a young man came to see Mary once, she forgetfully looked at her 50 cents. 'What are you doing?' asked the young man, and when she told him she was look­ ing at her watch, he took it as a hint and went home. After this she did not wear her watch in company. Well, Mary and the young man mar­ ried. John went off in the army and got killed. Mary'shusband died, And about two years ago Mary was taken sick. When her mother and I reached her house she was dying. Calling me to her bed she said: 'Papa, lean over' I leaned over, and, tak­ ing something from under her pillow, she put it around my neck and. said: 'Papa, take care ol my watch.'" The old man looked at the merchant. The eyes of both men were moist. "Dp you see that boy out there on the wagon?" he said. "Well, that is Mary's child. I wouldn't oart with this money, but my old wife, who always loved me, died this morn­ ing, and I have come to buy her a shroud.* When the old mah went out he carried a bundle in one hand and the "watches" ia the other.-- Little Rock "Gazette. * Dodg(it| the Koad. "What's th£ use of fixing op the road?" said a "pathmaster" in the Country, woo had been reproached because he did Dot cause the proper amount of work to be done on the highway. "When the track gets so bad that we can't travel- on it, we can dodge out and start another track. The roadway's wide enough!" Tbe results of this practice were seen on nearly all the highways there aoout. The space, many rods wide, which lay between the road forces, was out by a series of deep ruts, each one representing a track in which vehicles had gone in order to "dodge" what had once been supposed to be the established roadway. The original provision of a very wide roadway, which had been in tended in the interest of good roads, had led to a result quite different from that which was intended. In stead of one good broad roadway, lined «n either side with a lawn, there was bo true roadway at all. S© long as a general level, grassy surface enabled wagpn travelers to "dodge" the road when it was in bad condition, they dodged it, and as a result the track was never in good condition. If the roadway had been one quarter as wide, necessity might have Constrained tbe people to take better care of it. A roadway only suffi­ ciently wide to allow two wagons to meet and pass, but well kept, is cer taioly worth more than a road which is an eight of a male wide, butscarcely passable anywhere. "Dodging the road," in one way or another, has Ion? been a discredit­ able habit of the American people; but aow they are fortunately realiz ing that it is a most unprofitable thing to do.--Youth's Companion; , . . . . - , , , ̂ c o m m i t t e d s u i c i d e a t C o v i n g t o n , t0.*feP a.legtt I K*- was buried in consecrated ground.

Prodigy of Many Yean Ag^ In 1721 there was born at Lubeck, Germany, one ol the most remarkable characters ever known in the history of the world, or perhaps that will ever be known in all time to come. This hu­ man prodigy was little Christian Henry Heineoken, who could pronounce every word contained in the German language when but 9^ months old. When one year of age he knew all of the leading events in the world's his­ tory and was as familiar with Penta­ teuch as most moderp professors are supposed to be with their first text books. At 14 months he could give a complete history of every bcok in both the Old and New Testaments; and at 2 years 6 months he could answer any question in geography or history, an­ cient or modern. At that age he was able to hold conversations with the learned European savants in either German, French, Latin or Dutch. He did not live to see the end of hiB fourth year, but, the Philadelphia Press says, that during the few short weeks allotted to him, little Henry was a baby* boyt youth, man and graybeard, that is. so far as the knowledge of Worldly affairs was concerned. He had learned more in his three years and a half of life than many of" the world's greatest person­ ages have been able to learn in their "three score years and ten." Just prior to his death he was called before the King of Denmark, his majesty showing the little prodigy every mark of respect. Early in 1724 he returned to his native Lubeck to complete his studies ot Ori­ ental religions, which, added to his other acquirements, was too much for his delicate constitution, resulting in his death as above mentioned.

Or, if a grass widow, she goes with equal grace and triumph to new fields of honorable warfare, preserving her beauty for the next succeeding lover and her temper for the one about whom she throws the gossamer of the law and the cordage of her firm trust.
