Ought TO be Kept Open.

EDITOR NATIONAL TRIBUNE: / indorse the
very sensible and humane view set forth IN
THE NATIONAL TRIBUNE some time ago, re-
garding the Worlds Fair. Yes, the Fair should,
and hope will he, kept open every day, every
Sunday during its continuance. lffor no other
purpose it should be kept open in consideration
of the working people of Chicago and vicinity,
who arc, rs much as others. compelled to work
six days in the week. Again, there are many
old veterans, clerks. farmers, and others of all
ages who by tight squeeze of purse and time
might leave home on Saturday, hurriedly take
in some of the sights during Sunday. and re-
turn to shop, store. farm, ETC., on Monday. why
children be denied a visit to the grand exhibit
ton on Sunday, their only available day? l
ask this in the name Of justice, and on behalf
of humanity. What wrong, / ask, can there be
in gazing upon the products of nature, art, and
Industry on any or all days? / do not dispute
Comrade Van Fossen's right to be a" Psalm
singing Presbyterian" but / do question the
expediency of his desire TO make all others
dance 10 kis tune or else forego the dance
altogether. No one is asked to remain outside
the church if attendance therein is preferable
to the individual.
Allow me to say that no disrespect is felt or
expressed for Van Fosscn's views. / will add
that l am firm in the conviction that man
should have day Of rest aud recreation, but
hold that il should be optional with the indi-
vidual to enjoy that day as seems best to him,
and as is compatible with the same rights of all
others. / refer to the Golden Rule."-F. l..

Hark! On the air bugle call Is sounding;
See! On the clouds the Lord of Hosts advancing

With the rumbling Of chariots and their horses
gaily prancing;

AS the Corps de Armee" rally from the south
ward and the nor ward;
Obi the waling of the dying, and the hiding in

OF the FOOLISH unrepentant, who reject the offered

At this call all tombs burst open and the dead
in them arise;
While the armament is filed with angels bear
ing crowns of gold;
The redeemed in air ascending, shall receive the
promised prize,
And the King of Kings his glory to bis saints
will then unfold:
Oh, the joy of then receiving honor from the
Lord of Lords!
Oh the ecstasy of hearing from the Judge his
pardoning wordsl

About half an hour later we were all startled

in the same direction. Were we all the victims

THE END AT LIST
He and Others Might Expect It.

MT Charles R. Baird, the well known business and society man, fell overcome by nervous exhaustion, while about to keep social engagement last night Morning Paper.
 Later information develops the fact that he had been under a continuous nervous strain in his business for some time and his prostration last night was simply the climax-the result of his over-work. So it is with thousands. They work, using up their nerve force until they find themselves excessively nervous, powers of mind and thought weakened, nerves unstrung and unsteady, nights sleepless aud unrefreshed, bodies tired and exhausted.
 There will often be confused mind, dim vision, loss of memory, dull feeling head, dizziness, despondency, strange sensations, trembling or excitment, feeling of anxiety, poor blood, indiges . ion, bowels constipated, liver and kid neys out of order.
