Sunday a Day of HeaIthful Recreation.
LONDON, March S.-The claims of the Lon
don people to use Sunday as day of health
full recreation are at last about to be recog-
nized in this city, where Sunday usually
drives the East End people to gin and the
West End swells to the country or the clubs.
The refusal of the treasury to supply the
funds asked Tor by the trustees of the British
Museum in order that the Natural History
Museum might be opened on Sundays has
stimulated the zeal of the friends of Sunday
reform. The Duke of Westminster and
committee OF the Sunday Society have issued
an invitation TO n national conference at st.
James Hall with the authorities and officers
of museums, art galleries and libraries for
the purpose of directing the attention Of
Parliament TO the results which have at
tended the Sunday opening of museums, art
galleries and Libraries In the United King
dom. IL this conference meets with success
We may yet see our gloomy Sunday made to
minister to the education of the whole pso-

Ihe Prince of waIes, Frish visIt.

The Prince or Wales Irish Visit.
LONDON. March S-Fhe Prince of Wales,
it is now generally believed, will meet with
q cool reception upon the occasion OF his
visit TO Dublin next month. Many fear that
he will be even insulted during his progress
through the country. The retreat made by
Lord Mayor John OConnor from his first
attitude of apparent opposition to the visit
has en- bitered the great majority of the
National Lesguers, among whom he had
been recognized as a strong aad bold leader
previous 10 the episode. The Lord
Mayor, however firmly maintains his
pl esent position thst he owes at least
official courtesy TO the royal visitor
during the period OF bis stay IN the Irish

the part of bis former political colleagues
seem to nsve any effect on his present de-
termination 10 welcome the Prince. AL
this tends to make the Nationslists more de-

admirably than ever. The enemy raised
the siege of Tbuyenquan yesterday evening,
the French garrison having fought eighteen
days. After the t1rst breach in the body of
the fortress. the garrison sustained s5veu as
saults and caused immense loss to the ene

the line of forts which guarded the Chinese

Is q great surprise to visitors and Is tho
admiration Of our citizens. This rapid
growth, the business activity, and the
many substantial improvements made n
lively demand for Omaha real estate, and
every investor has made o handsome
profit.

with the subsequent cry OF hard times,
there has been less demaud from speculas

seeking homes. This latter class are
taking advantage of low prices In build

at much less cost than will be possible o
