ARnfher Oueer Case.

ToPEKA, Kas., Sept. 7.-Habeas corpus
proceedings have been instituted in the
supreme court TO secure the release from
the penitentiary of Mrs. j. Short, Of Gar
field county, charged with killing her step
child. The importance Of the case lies in
the fact that it calls in question the organ
ization of Garfield county, which it is
claimed has, never been legally organized,
because it contains less than 432 square
miles, the number required under the
constitution. 1t is claimed that since the
county has never been legally organized
its courts have no jurisdiction. If the
attorneys are successful it will render
void the numerous mortgage foreclosures
of chat county and iiquidate the county
debt at one fell swoop.

The Board OF Lady Managers Of the
Worlds Fair Talk Against tho
sunday Closing Resolution.

G. Lorimer, Of fremont Temple, Bos-
ton, in the course of a dedicatory SER
mon in the new Fourth Baptist church
at Chicago, Sunday, advanced some
theories which, TO say the least, are quite
progressive. The matter which called
forth the remarks was the agitation OF the
Sunday closing of the worlds fair DIR.
Lorimer asserted that Sunday beiag the
first day of the week, called TO remem-
brance the dav of resurrection, but that
while man should cease from manual labor
ON that day, he should not consider it as
sacred day, but should amuse aud rest
himself as he saw fit. not forgetting the
significance OF the day. Emotional wor-
ship was 10 be deprecated, as was the
theory that all worship should be conducted
in places set apart for that purpose. No
place was considered as especially sacred
when men desired TO worship God. 1t
could be done in one place as well as
another. DIR. Lormer also asserted that
the sacraments were not means OF grace
or remission, but of instruction, which
those desiring 10 learn of the grace Of God
should attend
At meeting of tke board lady of man
ayers of the worlds fair Mrs. Lucas, of
Pennsylvania, urged the adoption Of her
resolution, which was presented November
last, which declares in favor of closing the
worlds fair on Sundays. Arguments in
favor of Sunday closing were made by
Bishop Fowler ami Miss Frances Il. Will
lard. Stirring addresses on the opposite
side were made by Mrs. Bagley, of Michi-
gan. Mrs. Isabella Beecher-H Hooker and
Mrs. Trautman, of New York, Who con-
tended that the fair should be opened on
Sunday for the benefit of the poor. The
vote ON the resolution was: Yeas, So:
