FAVORS SUNDAY OPKNINO. • CmOAQO, June 19.—The world's fair is to be kept open on Sunday in the fu-ture Such was the unanimous decision of the United States circuit court of appeals, Chief Justice Fuller presiding, given a t 11 a, m. Saturday.

The appeal from the order of Circuit Judges Woods and Jenkins closing the fafr on Sundays had been argued for two days and the court of appeals re-versed it and held tha t the local di-rectory could do as i t pleased in the matter.

COURT HAS JURISDICTION. Justice Fuller fii>t took up the ques-

tion of the court of appeals, which had been challenged by the counsel for the government who held that the appeal ought to have gone direct to the supreme cour t on the ground that the consti-tutionality of a United States law was in question. %

This claim he held to be bad, as the decision in the circuit court turned od other questions than the constitution-ality of the law, neither had thb juris-diction of tha t court been questioned, the only contention of the counsel for the exposition company on tha t point being tha t i t was a case which ought to have been brought on the law and not on the equity side

IT WAS A OOSTRACT. As to the (2,500,000 appropriation of

qpngress to the fair, to which the Sun-day closing condition was attached. Justice Fuller held t h a t that was noth-ing more nor less than a contract I t was not a donation, as the council for the government •claimed, for con-ditions attached to it on both sides. Under it the local directory was bound to raise more money in addition to the many millions it already had raised, complete the buildings in a certain tame and do other things, all which it had done Consequently

WORLD'S FAIR LETTER.

SPECIAL COBHESPOXDKSCS.

At the outset of this letter it is wise to correct a wrong impression that has been aoised abroad, and to which our atten-tion has been calkd, in regard to the ex-pense of eating and sleeping while in Chicago. Perhaps there may be isolated instances of extortion having been prac-lioed, still m general the rates of hotels and lodging houses are little, if any, b'gHer than ordinary. We state it as a face that good clean, comfortable rooms, can be Imd'as low as $1 per day per per-son, and when two or more occupy the same room even a lower rate In some places prevails. Food properly cooked and nicely served may be had from 25 cents per meal up—so that one person can live comfortably for $2 per day.

How vety much can be crowded into seven days^ and so with the weekending

The receptions given in her honor were perhaps as tine as any-thing ever attempted in. Chicago. ' Her departure is a matter of regret, and her stay among us was only too short. Many men and women of rank and no-bility from abroad would do well to take pattern after her, as sh^ was very demo-cratic and-American in her way's and fdeaa and made friends with all who were fortunate enough to have btreu presented to her. Her time was pretty well occupied betw«»en sight seeing by day and reoeptionn a t night. She was very anxious to attend the performance of America in the Auditorium, the boxes having been expressly decorated in her honor, but was forced to abandon it at the eleventh hour on account of her early departure next morning' for New Yorki very much to the regret of thous-ands who had expected to see her face there.

A good many people hare considered it necessary to take stock or certificates m hotels to ensure obtaining accommo-dations a t reasonable rates and avoiding imposition. In many, perhaps most cases, parties so investing have found that they lost money in their haste to protect themselves. The onlyjthing you need to buy before coming to Chicago is your railroad ticket and once* here the less you patronize cutside peddlers J the better. This is illustrated in the matter of guidebooks. You will find guide books persistently thrust nnder your noee wbereyer you go. • Now there is jus t one official guide, and the only^one a visitor wants, if be or she desires one of any description. I t sells for 25 ioents* and is the only one sold within the grounds. Hence, if you will be patient enough to wait until you reach the grounds before you buy your guide book you will avoid being oonfidenced out of 10 or 25 cents by some outside umuthor-ired and incomplete guide. You do not need to be euchered out of a cent in vis-iting Chicago if yon will taboo fakirs, read the prices on the printed bills of fare a t restaurants and keep your wits about TOU. .

T h e SiDgle Ind i an . An Indian who had been recently enlisted

as a government scout and knew little of the duties and restraint expected of him became drunk and resisted the authority of the first sergeant of his company. He was lodged In the guardhouse and after-word arraigned before a garrison cpuit martial. This is a minor military court, which has jurisdiction over trivial offenses only and can impose only slight punish-

The Indian knew nolhing of this, aor did he know with what degree of seriousness his offense would be regarded.

The nature of a pica was explained to him through an interpreter, and he entered a plea of "guilty." He desired to intro-duce no testimony t c W i d i s h extenuating drenmstanoes.

With a fine sense of appropriateness, Ronnuice presents this month a "Special Scandinavian Number," with which to temper the heats of June. More than half the contents of this issue are char-acteristic s'ories of " the land of the mid-night sun" by its most noted writers, ^uch as Bjornson, Boyesen, Kieliand, Siguard, P^ter Toft and Anna Wahlen-berg.

"His Grace the Duke of Guiscbury" (when the property of Mr. Wilton J . Rlx) was left for some time at a strange bouse by bis muster, who slept there a few nights and then went away, much to the consternation of "Guisebury." who was apparently unable to believe that his master could be safe without him at his side. However, in a day or two the dog seemed to console him-self with the idea that, after all, business was business and must IJU attended to, and that there could lie no good in worrying about what was done, ami accordingly set-tled down and became his old fdf .

Sned to be wanted^ but was nowhere to be und, r.lthough a characteristic snorting

and wbining could be heard when he was callcd by name. After some time this was traced up stairs to the room where "Guy'a" owner had slept, and there my lord was found, seated on the. Hed in great triumph, and saying us plainly as dogs cafi speak: "This Is where my governor sleeps, and I am going to stop here till he comes back I'm sorry I could not come when you called me, but you see I had other engagements." The door of the room was open, so that he might have come when called, which as his vdiinmg showed he evidently rather wished to do, if he had not stuck to what he thought his duty.—English Illustrated Magazine.

They did so, and as they could not "be present at the pecfonftanoe in the evening It was suggested that the acoustic properties of the building should be tested by Mr. Rignold singing a song

his friends would take no denial, old warbled forth that pathetic

love ballad, "Mra. 'Enery' Awkins," which was recdyed by his traveling companions with unbounded applause and with great astonishment by the Italian attendants, who, after accepting a generous gratuity to soothe thdr feelings, ungratefully ex-claimed as the party left the building:

It's an ideal machine. There are more good Ideas about Its construc-tion than can be found in any other mower. Probably that's why its sales are so enormous. It has the best foot-lift to be found on any mower; is fitted with the McCormick cold rolled finger bar. and will stand the severest tests possible to a grass-cutter. Guaranteed to work where ethers fail.

It's a light draft mower, and it's durable. It's an easy winner of field trials. It's a really valuable mower in more ways than can be enumerated here—and it costs but little more than a " cheap " machihe.

On Thursday of lost weok, President Cleveland appointed ex-Mayor John Patton, of Detroit, as U. S. Consul at Amherstburg, to succeed Consul J. W. Hine. The new appointee arrived down this week to look over the situation and will, no doubt, qualify in a few days and tske bo ld 'a t the end o^ the fiscal year, June 30ih. "Mr Hine has been Consul here for about two years and during that time, by strict aUenlioo|to the duties of his office, and by his genial manner toward all who have met him, whether on business or not, has .won for himself a hpst of friends In the town, all of whom will join with us in regret-ting his departure from Amherstburg. Mr Hine has several offers under con-sideration, but has not yet decided which one he will accept, though the chances are he will enter the newspaper arena again. The new appointee, Mr Patton. it an ex-Mayor of Detroit, and Is M the "old school." The Echo can only hope be will prove ae popular and successful an official as the gentleman, whose place, through the fortunes of political warfare, he has been chosen to fill.— Amherstburg Echo.

TRAGEDY AT MASON.

MASON, June 16.—Mason is greatly jxcited over tho suicide of Mrs. Ed Cur-ry and of the subsequent attempt of her husband to follow su i t Mrs.'Curry has been taking morphine for .the "grip" or some other slight a i lment , and it is thought that she embraced the opportunity afforded by the presence of the poison to put herself out of the way She died in the early afternoon Wednesday.

Th'7 husband seemed to be distracted over the death of his wife, but no one thought that ho would take any des-perate steps. Shortly after 0 o'clock Wednesday night he was found in an unconscions condition and ap-parently dead. He had taken two grains of morphine, much more than an or-dinary dose. The doctors ^vere oalled at once and efforts were made to re-suscitate Mr. Curry. All night long two men walked him .around the hduse, trying to awake him out of his stupor, but with comparatively little success. This morning he was still under the in-fluence of the opiate.

Mrs. Curry's suicide is attributed to domsstlc troubles. For a long time her husband Is said to have paid marked at-tentions to Mrs. McBride, who is the wife of a carrlagemaker, and in the fall th6 two wore ar-rested on a charge of adultery. Mrs. McBride was confined in the jail awaiting trial, but finally procured ball. On the day the trial was to come off the complainant, Mr. McBride, failed to appear, and the woman was released. Since the trial Mrs. Curry has showed signs of continued jealousy, and It ia believed this led to her death.

Curry is about 51 years old. His wife was 46. The couple have reared a 17-year-old daughter. Mra McBride ia shout S.S years of age aud a woman of considerable beauty. She has one son, .aged 13. Curry hafi recovered conscious-ness completely. He admits he took morphine with suicidal intent bu t de-clines to say what he will do in tho future.

Mrs. Curry's adopted daughter, who was with her a t the time she died, said that the doctor had been giving her morphine and some quieting pills for headache and had given specific in-structions not to allow her any more. The daughter thinks she might have jo t the morphineN and taken it by mis-take.

The advance guard, after breaking the ice and treating their horses to a mouthful of water at the stream, had moved on at brisk trot, and now the stalwart riders were spreading out in extended order as they breasted the slope.

Almost (« Che facc oj the foremost Sioux his revolver blazes its challenge.

Daring indian scouts were ever on their flanks and front and rear, making no overt move against them, but keep-ing the hostile camp fully informed of evorjthing that was being done and Wattbing restlessly for opportunity to out off very straying charger, to cut down every straggling man. Knowing all thin full well, Berrien had given strlot orders—neither officer nor trooper was permitted to leave the column by day nor the bivouac by night; and now its mission accomplished, the coinmn had started on return march, and up to this time no casualty had occurred. So long as the isolated battalion w6s mov-ing toward the hostile camp, nearing every hour the overwhelming array of the enemy and separating itself farther and farther from friendly supports, no bar had been put to its progress. But

FTNOW the Indian scouts could see that it %WAS turning back, probably in the hope

of regaining the cantonment unmo-lested.

I t was a sunshiny December after-noon; the air was as clear as a bell, the clouds that obscured ihe eastern sky, at dawn HIFL long since drifted out of sight, and in all its broad expanse tho pale blue vault of the heavens wore not so much as a feather of vapor. Who that rode in the laughing, chatting, jaunty column that sparkling day could realize the change a few hours might effect on the silent, breozeless solitudes around them? At noon the sun was so warm that many a trooper' had stripped off his heavy overcoat and turned up the flaps of the roug!h fur cap. Except in

sure it's a smart redskin that will ever get through the pickets he posts." Not since the days of old "Major Slowtrot," old "Pap" Thomas, has there been a battalion commander better loved by the rank and file. They know nothing will ever induce him to forget one pre-caution for their safety, and reward his care with a loyalty of devotion good to see. Watching him still further, Haz-lett notes that a distant vedette has sig-naled, and that Berrien, slowly now, is riding up the slope to join him. A ser-geant haa some question to ask at the moment, and when Hazlett again L O O K S

out to the southwest, major, orderly and vedette have disappeared from view around a little shoulder of bluff. Other vedettes can be seen at their posts on all sides, and a few dismounted sentries lying prone where, unseen themselves, they can scan the country to their front But HazleUa curiosity is cxcited by fact that two men, mere specks in the distance, are huddling together at the crest half a mile away to the southwest and evidently watching something out at their front and motioning to the ser-geant back with the supports. Presently this trooper, too, trots out to join them. Berrien and his party are still out of sight from camp.

"Captain, may I borrow your field-glasses?" asked Mr. Brewster, swinging up to tho fire where Hazlett vtands. "1 have lent mine to the sergeant of the guard."*

"Did you see where the major went?" asks Hazlett by way of reply, as he hands the desired instrument. ^

"1 last saw him at the point yonder. He rode around it with Sergeant Ellis and a couple of men, and that vedette must have been calling to him. It seems to me they've been gone some time; so Gorham NUYE I can ride out and find out what it means."

' Td go with you, Brewster, but my horse is out at he rd Take the glasses with you, -anyhow." Brewster's big black is led hp at the moment, and the lieutenant quickly mounts END canters easily away.

Meantime, old Berrien, who has noted the signals of the •vedette referred to, has joined hitu, with the brief inquiry, "What is it. Scott?"

•'Why, sir, 1 was posted here by T H &

sergeant, and he had no sooner gone than 1 saw what I took to be horsemen in the valley several miles'out yonder to tho southwest. The major can see the whole country from a butts that lies perhaps three hundred yards tunher out

It is Ellis, cantering briskly from the advanced position Scott has designated, and coming to them now around the shoulder of the bluff a little to the right That Ellis has seen something is evi-dent; his face shows it in an instant

"An Indian war party, major, per-haps a dozen, rode from behind a long ridge over to the west and down into the valley Of what I take to be a branch of the Porcupine. That butte hides a good deal of the valley; but we can see it from there, though."

"You three men come with me," says Berrien, quietly. " W e must look into this."

Two minutes' lope brings them to the butte Ellis has pointed out Leaving their horses with the orderly, Berrien, the sergeant and the sentinel go crouch-ing up the hither slope, throw them-selves on the ground and crawl to the summit As tho vedette has said, the whole country for miles in overf direc-tion can be seen—A country of bold con-tours, of bare, rounded bluffs and buttes, of deep, shadowy ravines and gulchea— a country bare of trees save tho ghostly, leafless cottonwoods perched by the banks of many a frozen stream. Miles and miles to the north and northwest the wild Indi tn land spreads beftv* then-eyes. Close at hand, tumbling, billowy and abrupt; TLE ridges follow or inter* cept one another in rapid succession. The face of the land is cut up into tor-tuous "breaxs," the deep, narrow beds of countless little streams, all winding tributary to the river that flows placidly away to the northeast in the broad val-ley from which the column marched at dawn. Beyond that, west of north, clearly, sharply defined in the distance, already alternating glaring surface and

ghostly shade under tho slanting rays of the westering sun, a tumbling RNAAN of jagged, fantastic shapes, a tangle of

'vertical cliffs and seamed and furrowed walls, a labyrinth of gorges, gullies, washed out channels, deep, D1ack crev-ices. and broad, yawning, impassable gulfs, tho storied Bad Lands of Dakota, shunned by all except the renegade aud outlaw in the past, now habitable only by the Indian. Beyond these, faint and dim in the distance, the snow covered, pine crested summits in tho Black Hills. AU' the rest of the surface, east, west and south, a frozen sea of gray, glinting here and there in the declining rays; and there off to the southwest, perhaps five tnilos away, lies the valley into which the party of dusky warriors hp« gal-loped so short a time before—the valley beyond which, a long, long day's march away, stands the guarded camp of com-rade soldiery awaiting their return. Berrian studies the scene long and care-fully through his glasses. Intermediate ridges are not many, but they are sharp and clearly defined

"Who was it reported that the ad-vance saw signal smokes south of us at noonVhe asks.

"Corporal Waite, sir; he and two of the men saw them plainly, and they seemed to be answered off here." And Ellis points miles away to the west

Berrien ponders a moment. "Where away would you locate the

agency, sergeant, if you were going to take a bee line for it?"

"Out off bere.^ir." "And they crossed that line going into

the valley?""" "They certainly did, sir, and— Look,

majorl look yonder! Another band, and from exactly the same place."

A little bevy of dark objects darts suddqply into view from behind a cur-tainlike divide and goes skimming over i level stretch toward the lowlands of the valley. Berrien's glasses seem glued to his eyes.

"Twenty-of them in tha t party! What do they see? What's their hurry? They would not expose .themselves to our view unless there were urgent need for haste." >

"The old road comes in from that di-rection, sir," answers Ellis. " W e left it a few hours out from the cantonment, as yon remember. Can anything have been seen along tha t road to give rise to signal smokes?

Berrien turns half over and looks keenly into the sergeant's intelligent face.

"That road has been abandoned for weeks past Everybody TO the east of us has taken refuge at the railway long since. Nobody would be coming from that direction."

"1 know that, sir; but would not any detachment coming from the agency to meet us, for instance, be apt to keep the road? 1 understood we were to Etrike for it in the morning and follow t t in . '

Again Berrien gazes long and eamaet-

hand. At the same Instant red, glitter-ing, bedaubed with {mint, bespangled with chcap finery, two young Indian braves lash their ponies into furious gal-lop AS they shoot up out of the shallow ravine, and rifles hi hand, coupsticks advanced, race madly toward the strick-en trooper in eager effort to secure the trophy of their prowess, the coveted scalp of the fallen foe.

"Your carbine, man!" yells Berrien to his orderly, "Quick I S ^ O O T that lead-e r f And putting spurs to his snortiug horse, reckless uf the fact that he is armed only with revolver and that the ravine may bo full of Indians, the vet-eran soldier drives full tilt at the charg-ing braves. Ho thinks only of the fact that one of bis men lios prostrate .and helpless before them. They are almost upon Ellis before Berrien has galloped a rod They are within twenty paces of him when, with a shout of delight, the major sees him whirl suddenly over, grasp his carbine, and. all in a second, the flame leaps from the bronzed muz-zle, the foremost warrior drops his rifle, whirls up a clinching, convulsive hand ^ND topples headforemost out of the saddle. Scott, the vedette, echoes with another shot that k&ka up the dust close under the second pony's flashing heels. Its red rider veers in broad circle to the right, and in the twinkling of an eye the feathered war bonnet bows low over the pony's stretching neck. Ber-rien's bullet whizzes harmlessly above, and the major himself, borne by the rush of his half maddened steed, dashes on past Ellis, now kneeling for another shot, and goes crash into the midst of a little knot of yelling warriors just bounding np out of the gully to the res-cue of their stricken comrade. "Bess,

my wife; Winnie,"* are FCIE only words he has time or thought to mutter, for instant death seems inevitable.

But all the old fighting instinct is up-pe.Tnost, and almost in the face of the foremost Sioux his revolver blazes its challenge, and horse and pony meet in tremendous shock, and the lighter steed goes tumbling and rolling over the turf. There is chorus of yells, shots, soldier cheers, thundering hoofs. There is a vision of glittering steel in front of his eyes, of hideous painted face, a sudden sense of stumble and stunning fall, a shri'J whoop of triumph, changing in-stantly into the death cry. and while his Brule antagonist goes crashing down, pony and all, Berrien is conscious of the superb leap of a big black charger over hio own prostrate form, of a stentorian cheer from half a dozen trooper throats, and the next minute Brewster is kneel-ing by his side, raising the honored gray head in his1 strong young arms, aud the voice that thundered in battle cry bnt an instant agone is trembling now as he caflb for a canteen of w i t e r and bids his half stunned commander not to strive to move.

"We've got twoof them, sir, all right," he whispers, breathless, but well know-ing that to bs the best news he can give. "The rest got away and left a bullet hole In your shoulder."

certainly heading for that road and riding a t full speed How many men have yon at this front?" he quickly UHLFH I

" Jus t eight, sir, all told, but eight more are almost within call over on our left flank. Yonder is the ridge where my men are posted." And Ellis points to their left rear where lies the low crest

" Jus t keep a good lookout here; ser-geant I will move them over this way and then ride to the left flank. My horse, orderly." And, thinking deeply over the matter as he rides, 'Berrien spurs into a lively canter across an in-tervening dip in the prairie. "Some mischief ahead." he mutters. "They are not speeding up that valley for noth-ing. We may have to saddle and get over there."

Not two hundred yards has he ridden when from the point which he has just quitted there comes a sudden yell of warning, followed almost instantly by two shots in quick succession. Then bang! bang! another two, and, as he whirls about, the first object that meets his startled gaze Ellis' handsome black horse plunging to earth almost at the edge of a shallow ravine some distance out in front of the butte.

"My (iod^ir," cries the orderly, "Ser-geant Ellis is killed!"

Berrien's heart bounds. There, face downward upon the sward, motdonlefes, just a few feet away from the plunging, death stricken horse, lies the sergeant,

Talking of patent medicines—you know the old prejudice. And the doc-tors—some of them are between you and us. They would like you to think that what's cured thousands won't cure

Jyou . You'd believe In patent medicines if they didn't profess to cure everything —and so, between THE experiuipnt of doctors, and the eiperiments of patent medicines that are sold only because there's money in the "s tuff ," ' you lose fa i th in ever> thing.

And, you can't always tell the prescrip-tion that cures by what you read in the papersi So,perha|»3, there's no better way to sell a remedy, than to tell the truth fibout it, and tase the risk of its doing just what it professes to do.

A memory is a good thing to cultivate Most people have passably good memo-ries, many have extraordinary ones, and some have none at all. One of the causes of the popularity of the late James G. Blaine was his lemarkable memory for names and faces. It is said that Mr Blaine could recall tho face aud name of persons he had met only casual-ly ten years and more after the first meeting, not having encountered them in the interval.

In regard to bad memories, an amus-ing incident happened at the White House not many weeks ago, if the re-ports are truthful . A clergyman was presented to Mr Cleveland, and as the President extended his hand, the rever-end gentleman blushed slightly, and leaning forwaid. whispered to the Presi dent, "Ah—what name, please?"

It was, doubtless, nervousness attend-ant upon personal contact with a man holding so high an official position as Mr Cleveland's that drove the name out Of thp unhappy clergyman's mind. At any rate, it was not so bad a lapse as an-other rase that is recorded. What I t was that caused the loss of memory in

The "Where?" -classes will be asked to come up and point out upon the school-map the places, etc., and give some particulars regarding them. Each of the other C L A S J I E S will perform its part, as inditated by its distinctive title. The "Wherefore?" class, as distinguished (arbitrarily) from- the "Why?" class (which HAS to' do with the motives and reasons and actions shown in the lessons), is ex-pected to draw conclusions from eaeh lesson; that is, to give the practical teaching and moral lesson to be gath-ered therefrom—this portion i t would probably be well to assign to the Bible class.
