CHICAGO, June Sit would be Just as
well for those persons-and there are
hundreds of thousands of them in the
United States; who are trying to bring
about the closing of the worlds fair on
Sunday to bear in mind that the very
thing against which they protest is now
in full operation. The gates of the
worlds fair are open every Sunday, and
hundreds of sight-seers go to it, they
being admitted readily on payment of
the established fee. The worlds fair
directors have thus decided the matter
of Sunday opening while the whole
country, represented by congress, by
great religious gatherings and many
other influential bodies, is still debating
the matter. 1t may well be asked: Are
the worlds fair authorities justified in
forestaIling the judgement of the nation
in this matter? There is little real differ
ence between the present arrangement
at Jackson park and that which will be
in force if the fully erected enterprise
shall be thrown open to visitors on Sun
days q year hence. Because of this
action of the directors the question now
under debate by the whole nation is not,
"Shall the worlds fair be
open on Sunday?'' but, "Shall the pre-
sent condition of Sunday sightseeing at
Jackson Park be changed after the for
NAL opening of the worlds fair?" The
worlds fair is open on Sunday. 1t is a
condition, not theory, that confronts

New York.

NEW YORK, June 4.-The stock market dis
played q moderate volume Of business today,
but the animation was again at the expense
of values. the bears. In the marked absence
of organized support, being aggressive, and
their operations resulted i'll material losses
among the stocks which received particular
attention. These were principally Burling-
ton. Rock Island Northern Pacific preferred,
Lackawanna, Sugar and Kansas q Texas.
The only strong points in the list were held
without making any material improvement.
There was considerable encouragement to
the bulls at the opening in the shape OF buy
ing apparently for London account, but as
usual of late, upon the appearance of foreign
buying selling begins with more vigor, and,
while it is preposterous to say that no long
stocks come upon the market the propelling
force in the declines established undoubtedly
the short sales of the bears. The general
list as rule. was dull and featureless. as
usual. and the firm opening was succeeded
by dropping temper, in sympathy with the
movement among the leaders. The close
was fairly active and weak at about the low
est prices of the day.
The Post says:-There is perhaps no occa-
sion for emphasizing the condition of the fed
eral treasury in relation to general finances; !;
but the situation deserves notice. es-
pecially when all such unpleasant features
as do exist will surely be magnifed in the
course of the presidential campaign. At the
opening of the year the treasurys gold bal
ance. in excess of outstanding certificates
and the Sl0000O,OC0 reserve, was S30, T40. .63l.
On May it was S19, 800. 755. To-day IL is S14,
G00.000. The problem of keeping this gold
fund above low water mark depends largely
on the question whether the government eX-
renditures to date have honestly represented
the bills payable. But here is exactly the
point Of doubt.

"SOME MEN ARE BORN
DRUNKARDS.
Some Achieve Drunkenness. And
SOME HAVE DRUNKENNESS THRUST
UPON THEM."- Carpenter.

An eminent physician says: "The
durability of drunkenness becomes a
question of the application of scientific
measures and means TO conduct or ass
Sist back to health again. The cOndl-
ton to treat is that OF progressive brain
and nerve-eXhauStion, lowered vital
Ity. with damaged and perverted func-
tional activities. Enthusiastic appeals
to the emotional powers and Will are nor
curative, because the emotions and Will
are diseased; the higher moral faculties
are perverted and cannot act normally.
The drunkard has been switched off the
main line of healthy life and living
upon a side-track of progressive diSSo-
luton, the opposite of evolution"
One of the great difficulties i'll curing
the drunkard of his disease is to con-
vince him that he stands in need OF
help. Little by little the disease fast
ems itself upon man so that he is
never willing to recognize his true con-
dition. and he is never willing to help
himself or to be helped by others. Who
among our friends are willing to be
called drunkard or a slave to strong
drink? Man boasts of his will power:
Il can take it or leave it alOne," but
mans will power, when his body and
mind are enslaved by the demon of
drink, is as helpless and weak as will

thing is sure. the drunkard must be

He read il to his friends, which the same it

In private Jones himself admitted it couldn't

But with the periodicals. his story seemed to

Each time it came a-ridiug back on the next

And the editor of the Monthly Snore turned

And sent note advising Jones 10 stick to

Then Jones he cursed these worthy men in

He freely charged they'd not the brains to

And of the SnOreS conductor he took ocea-

Yet still the story wouldn't sell, though

The early wheat markets were very strong.

supplied to longs to sell out, and they took
advantage of the chance. setback fol-
lowed, with some fluctuations later. Cables
were more favorable with respect to wheat,
and other grains were frmer, which helped
wheat and flour. The morning was active.
but with steadiness there was dullness. There
was good demand from local millers ana

panies bought for the carrying charges, sell
ing July against their purchases. The
market followed futures closely. Early sales
were the lowest. 1t was impossible to sell
choice wheat at over S3t2c until after July
advanced to SIC, when sales were made at
S334c. One sale was made at SAC of very
choice wheat when July was the strongest.
Considerable No. was sold early at SOC and
later at SII2c. No. sold at T6079c Shock
threshed wheat was very hard to sell and so
was frosted no grade. The demand for low

sort of freak best exhibited in plants of
the orchid kind, whose Odly formed
flowers suggest various queer resem-

example, known as the bee orchid and
the fly orchid from the likeness be-
tween their flowers and those insects.
Other varieties, for similar reasons, are

splendid butterflies. One again reminds
the observer of grinning monkey;
another suggests the aspect of an opera
