The ostentatious advertisement of godli-
ness which Deacon Gilmore and his associ-
ates indulge in by announcing that no one
will be permitted to visit the Lake Park on
Sunday is easily punotured. People flock
by the thousand to the country on the Sab
bath, but no boat can land load of pas
sengers at the Lake Park on that day, no
matter how much they may need salvation,
or as Gilmore calls it-"education." Deacon
Gilmore, Doc. Keith, Charley johnson ct. al.
readily understand that if they should
charge twenty-five cents per head for ad.
mission to religious exercises on Sunday
they would shock even those who are their
most rigid supporters. If they should adj
NIT the public free on the Sabbath people
would have their curiosity gratifed on Sun
day and would not come on week days and
pay the coveted quarters. Hence the dodge
was devised of closing the grounds to all
newcomers on Sunday and only allow those
to attend divine worship on the Sabbath
who had come in and paid their quarters on
Sa turday. Then too it secures full
days board from those who desire to be
present on Sunday, and taken altogether the
trick is about the cleverest of any portion of
the Lake Park confidence game.

The usual Sunday quiet monotony VAS some
what broken, yesterday, by series of acct
dents that fortunately did not turn out fatal
in any case, although some of them came very
near it. Such grist in one day has not been
known before for some time, and were reported
at headquarters by the GLOBE force, in the fol-
lowing order:
First on the list comes Mrs. Frank Casey, of
Indianapolis. Indiana, who is visiting relatives
in this city. While coming down stairs, yes
terday morning, she slipped and fell, rolling to
the landing below, where she struck with
great force and sustained fractured shoulder
blade and a dislocated wrist joint. Being an
elderly lady, the accident was the more pain
full, but it is believed with proper care she
will recover.
Those terrible reapers have been at it again.
and now John w. Clancy, employed on farm
short distance back of Lake Calhoun wishes
they had never been invented or he had never
seen farm, he don't care very much which.
Yesterday morning, in company with the other
hands, ne was taking advantage of the fine
remained to be gathered in, the intention be-
ing to get through cutting by Sunday
night: just before dinner some portion
of the reaper got out of order
and Mr.. Clancy careleesly stepped in front of
the knife to fix the dislocated piece of ma
chinery. While thus engaged the horses sud
denly started forward, and before they could
be stopped, or Mr.. G. could get out of the way,
the knives commenced chewing his lower ex-
tremeties into sausage meat. Botfr legs were
badly mangled, but the physician thinks he
can patch him up so as to come out all right in
few weeks, although the left foot is in a ter
rible condition.

while playing on Washington avenue yester-

nues North, and fell through the elevator
opening and landed on the ground floor. The
lads jaw was fractured and his left shoulder
was broken, besides receiving severe internal
