WOMEN VOTE FoR SUNDAY REST.
The Lady Managers of the Worlds Fair
Record Themselves.

CHICAGO, Sept. AT meeting Satur
day Of the lady's board of managers of the
Worlds fair the Sunday rest question
was taken up at the solicitation of Colonel
Shepard and Bishop Fowler, and in the
debate that followed such eminent work
ers in the woman's cause as Miss Frances
Willard and Mrs. Isabella Beecher Hook
er were ranged on opposite sides Miss
Willard made a strong plea for closed
fair on Sunday, while Mrs. Hooker took
the other side. She said that speaking as
a Christian she believed that Sunday was
made for mans enjoyment.
A Plea for the workmen.
Said she: "The advocates of Sunday
closing say that the laboringmen will be
given an extra holiday in order that they
may see the fair. Are they sure that holi-
days will be granted3 How many of our
stores will be closed to let the toilers see
the fairf How often will they closes We
hope to see all nationalties and creeds rep
resented at the fair Would it not be
bigotry to say to the Mohammedans This
is our Gods day and we won't permit you
to see our fsir today, because we are
Christians?' Is it not bigotry to close the
fair on our Sabbath and yet desecrate the
sacred holidays of the Jews, Mohamme-
dams and hundreds of other creedsf"
Result of the Vote.
Finally, after everybody on the board
had had their say, the Sunday closing
resolution was put before the house. The
roll was called, but several members de-
clined to answer, and about twenty-five
ladies left the room. The vote was then
taken, and resulted in the passage Of Mrs.
Lucas resolution by a vote of sc to So.
Had the ladies who retired remained and
voted as their conduct indicated, it would
have been defeated by five or six majority.
Rev. Lorimer's Surprise.
Rev. George c. Lorimer joined the
ranks of the free Sunday people in his

The League Pennant Likely to Come West
This Year.

This Year.
CHICAGO, Sept. L-Captain Anson's
team started for the east with lead OF
b2 points. This means that the Chicagos
will probably fly the championship flag
in 1892 The club is scheduled to play
twelve games in the east and three in Gin
cinnati. On the last trip Chicago cap
tured eleven out of fifteen games With
average luck Chicago ought to win at
least five of the fifteen games to be played.
This would cut the Colts percentage
down to .59l Allowing Boston tie liberal
estimate of ten games won and five lost
its standing would be only So, or points
less than Chicago. But should Chicago
lose twelve games, which is not impossi-
BILE, and Boston capture twelve games,
then the beaneaters would have lead OF 10
points and have the pennant in their grasp.
Following is given the standing of the
clubs in all the leading aggregatioDs.
