SUNDAY AND THE FAIR.
Appeal Presented by the American
Sabbath Union.


The delegation of the American
sabbath Union, heade by Colonel Elliott
?. Sheperd OF the New York 3fau aud
Express, as its president, mot with the
representatives Of the local Sabbath as
sociation in the Auditorium at Chicago to
discuss the best methods to be used in
presenting Its memorial for tho closing of
the Worlds Fair on Sunday. The discus
sion was informal, and ii was finally de
cided to appoint committee TO arrange
with the National Commission for an hour
At which it would receive the memorial
The memorial of the union to be pre-
sented to the Columbian commissions sets
forth that The proper observance of Sun
day at the fair twill honor the law OF
God, by whom the Sabbath was made for
man. that it will be in harmony with the
letter and spirit OF the laws OF all the
States and Territories; that it will re
cpect the conscientious convictions Of all
Christians who, forming large part OF
the sterling character OF the world, sho@ld
have their feelings considered; that IL
will be in line with the Sabbath obser
vance at the Philadelphia exposition; thGt
it follows the example set by the English
speaking nations at the Paris exposition
of lSs9, who, with the Official counteuanee
of this government refused TO uncover
their displays on Sunday; that 10 open
the exposition on Sunday would uniusay
compel the employees OF the fair and the
transportation companies to labor on that
day; that it would lead TO eNcesses by the
various classes, that Saturday half hoh-
days and the generosity OF employees may
be depended on TO give all employees an
opportunity TO visit the fair; that this
government cannot afford TO set such an
example to the nations Of the world, that
all foreigners should be given an opportu-
nifty 10 see the American Sunday as 1t
usually observed; and, finally, that the
event which the fair celebrates was the
result of supreme inspiration Of Chris
tian man who took possession OF the new
world in the name OF the Son of Man, who
is also the Lord Of the Sabbath.
Speaking Of the matter Colonel Shepard
said:
II believe firmly that il the fair 5 not
closed on Sundays the Lord will put his
S1AsS APoA tut eAtSA lAAse e.A.s- 20 @--~ -
ton. de will send plaques and pesulenees
as he did in the days OF Pharaoh. II, on
the contrary, the gates are closed on sun
days, the Lord will bless the fair and
make it the graudest, ,success.p possible. You
have no idea of the intense feeling Of the
Christian world on this subject. 1t is
with US TO a man, and should we win il
viii rejoice as ono man. Hence 1t is i'm
perative that the question should be de.
cided at once, and the decision not put of
until a later date y

PugiIism in a Penitentiary.

A big scandal has recently come to
light in connection with the management
of the Idaho penitentiary. For some
months past numerous fstic encounters
have been had between convicts in the
penitentiary. Finally they concluded to
have fight to a finish
The contestants were convicts Duulap
and Braithwaite. After week spent in
training the men met, with guards as
spectators, another convict as referee, and
had most bloody fight. 1t is reliably
reported that this was done with the full
knowledge and consent of Warden W. S.
Mack, and that he witnessed the fight and
had money bet on the result.
The matter has been brought to the at
tention of the penitentiary board, CON
sisting of Governor Wiley, Attorney
General Roberts and Secretary of State
Pinkham. The feeling is that an inves-
tigation must be had, though it is feared
the matter will be hushed up.
The fight was most brutal, so much so
that even the guards were appalled, Mack
is severely criticised for allowing such a
fight to occur. Braithwaite's gloves were
dripping with blood and Dunlap's face
was mass of gore

A Kansas Family Poisoned.
a special from Bellevillo, Kansa.

A special from Belleville, Kansas,
says:
Nine people Of this place are at the point
Of death as a result OF having partaken OF
poison in the food served at dinner at the
house of George Gregg.
Mr.. Gregg returned from Iowa last Sat
urday, where he had gone to bring home
his wife and children, who had been visit
ng there.
A young lady, relative, whose name
has not been learned, accompanied Mrs
Gregg. Sunday Ira johnson, neighbor,
called on the way home from church and
accepted an invitation 10 dinner Eight
Persons sat down to the tabIe-NIr and
Mrs. Gregg, their four children, the visit
ing relative and Ira johnson. Soon after
dinner they all became violently i'll, ex-
hibiting all the symptoms of poisoning.
Shortly afterwards the servant who
had in the meantime eaten dinner, also
became i'll, showing the same symptoms.
Since then all have grown steadily worse
and the recovery of none of the victims is
expected.
What the nature of the poison was, and
how it was administered, are questions
that remain to be answered.

A Fever-stricken Grew.

The bark Royal Tar from Australia
reached San Francisco on the 9Th, and re-
ported fever and scurvy on board and the
captain and first mate both dead The
Royal Tar left Sydney last March with
Captain T. a. Franklin, two mates, eleven
seamen and boy, bound for Frederick
William Haven, Ingerman, New Guinea.
Shortly after arriving there fever broke
out on board, the captain and four men
being taken ill. Their medicine gave out
and the captain soon died.
First Mate Rogers took command and
the ship sailed June for Humboldt Cali
fornia. After time Rogers also died of
fever and Second Mate John Mccall took
command and succeeded in getting to San
Francisco without any more deaths. All
the crew were i'll at one time or another
and most of the time there were only
three men able to work on board. In July
all stores gave out except tea and -four,
and on this the crew had to live. No anti
scorbutics were on board and the men suf-
fered fearfully.
Ten days ago the German bark Hydra
gave them little meat and quiuine. The
appearance of the men is frightful Some
are toothless, others pitted and SCARED
with gangrene. 1t is believed the lives of
all will be saved by care and rest.

The Tennessee LegisIature.

There was a lively time in the
lower house of the General Assembly
Wednesday morning over the futruduo-
ton of resolution providing for the ap,
pointment of a committee of senators aud
representatives to investigate the coudi-
tion of the penitentiary, the convict lease
system and the recent Briceville troubles
Objection was made that 1t was a scheme
to delay action, because the committee
could not conclude its labors in the time
allowed for the sitting of the Assembly.
After several hot speeches and an ava
lanche of amendments, the whole matter
was referred to the penitentiary commit
tee. The tendency OF most of the amend
ments was to prevent the resolution from
committing the House to opposition to
the abrogation of the present lease.

scoring 176 points, while Sergeant f. Rose,

with la points.
Last week a score of l6o was considered
winning score, but if Tuesdays style of
shooting is TO be kept up during the re-
naming days, no man with u score less
than l70 will grace either team. Particu
larly at the long ranges was the shooting
good, there being several instances at the
500 and 600 yards where hve bulls eyes
