RELIGIOUS REVIVAL.
Los Angeles Greatly Excited Over the Mills

Los Angeles Greatly Excited Over the Mills
Meetings.
Los ANGELES, May 1.-THE religious
excitement continues. The Mills meetings
are crowded and hundreds IF sinners claim
conversion. The mania seems to spread to
nearly every quarter. The City Council
yesterday requested the Mayor TO declare
Wednesday a legal holiday so that business
men might attend the midday meetings.
The Mayor refused. lie says: "UHder the
charter of the city nearly every city official
Is required 10 devote his entire time TO the
duties of his office. and IS paid therefor.
Certainly We, as the legislative and eYecu-
tive branches, would rot be reforming
ours in requesting these officials 20 aban-
don their Offices on that day and devote
themselves to other things not provided for
by the law, and in my judgment inhibited
by the fundamental law Of our land, no
matter how praise worthy the act might be.
Il is manifeStly unfair TO request that we
Cfficially recognize the work Of any church
or combination of churches, no matter how
numerous, as it involves the violation and
neglect Of duty and the establishment Of an
Unwise precedent"
Mayor Hazard adds that the city should
entertain the Eastern editors and attend to
religious matters afterward. "As a result
Of The editors visit to our city," he says,
Our people are making every effort to en-
terrain them tomorrow, and The entertain
ment outlined does not include religious
obseTvanees, ana to issue the proclamation
requested would be an act inconsistent with
our duties as officials of the city having in
charge the entertainment Of our guests"

THE GRANITE STRIKE.
BOycOtting Of NOn-UniOn Quarried Stone
Rapidly Spreading.

New YORK, May 1.-THE strike Of men
connected with the granite industry
against the New England Contractors
Association is rapidly assuming large pro-
portions. 1t is estimated that fully $4,000
men were out at the hour for beginning to-
days work. The building business Is conf
pletely Frustrated. Over a dozen barges
are anchored in Harlem River and New
York Bay laden with boycotted stone. The
tombstone and monument industry was
attacked to-day. Wherever non-union stone
Is used the men are ordered to refuse to
handle it. This attack on the monument
industry will be extended to all parts OF the
country. 1t is believed this branch alone
will take out 5000 men. Committees were
sent out to-day to investigate all the Jobs
going on with instructions to call out men
wherever non-union stone Is used. Lit IS
expected that in few days 1000 men will
be on strike.
The Indications tonight are that the end
of the strike of granite cutters ana PAYERS
against the New England Granite-manu-
facturers' Association, involving about
100000 men in this and other cities, Is long
way off Both sides are apparently resting
on their arms to-day. but are prepared TO
fight as long as there seems possibility
of winning Rum0Ts are current that the
granite-eutters. to gain their end, will call
upon the aid of the Central Labor Union,
and this will involve everybody connected
with the building trades. 1t is said the as

the strike, which they believe too unwleldy
to hang together.

He was not talkatiYe, and evidently told

THE WORLDS FAIR.
Director General Davis Appears Before the
Congressional Committee.

Dlrector-Oeneral DAVIS appears BEFORE the
Congressional Committee.
WASHINGTON, May 17.-Director- General
Davis OF the Worlds Columbian Exposition
made an argument this morning before the
House committee on the subject to urge an
appropria ton by Congress in aid Of the ex-
position. The Director General having fin
ished his address, McCreary of Kentucky
| asked if the scope and plan of the EXPOSE
ton was not nearly double that of any
exposition ever held and also if Davis and
his associates were satisfied with the out
look that il would be the grandest interna-
tlonal exposition ever held.
The Director-General replied in the affir-
native, saying: IAN the nations in the
world are striving for more space than could
be allotted to them. Never before had the
artists and manufacturers OF the Old World
had neutral place in which to exhibit"
McCreary further asked what effect the
closing of the gates on the Sabbath would
have upon the exposition.
Davis said 1t would largely decrease the
receipts; that fully $1,000 people would
visit the park on Sunday, even il there
was no attraction there.
Wheeler of Alabama suggested that some
Of the most eminent elergymen be secured
TO speak on the exposition grounds on Sun
DAYS and that sacred music be played.
Davis said that there never had been any
proposition made that the machinery
should run on Sunday, and to that he was
personally opposed. BY stopping the ma
chineIy probably tw0-thirds OF the en-
piOyes could be spared on Sundays. All
that it was proposed TO have open was the
grounds and the art galleries.
Walker of Chicago told the committee
that an amendment had been framed in the
act by which the local corporation obligated
itself to meet and defIay all the expenses
from now until the close OF the exposition,
and the committee would be furnished with
a certified copy OF the agreement signed by
such men as Marshall Field and Philip
Armour, that if Congress granted the aid
asked they would hold themselves respOu-
sible for any further moneys needed, and
would not again ask aid from any source.
Davis called attention to the TACT that all
work on the exposition buildings was being
done on the eight-hour plan and six days in
the week.
The committee then adjourned, subject TO
the call OF tile chairman.

Mrs. McAllster has been greatly worried
By some published reports. and would like
to see few Of them set right. When, as
Miss Germany she married McAllister. the
marriage was intended to be kept secret for
McAllister was about TO leave the Southern
States, and pleaded with Miss Germany
to become his wife before he left for
New York. This Miss Germany could not
do publicly without the consent Of both
sides, so that the only thing left for the
young couple to do, if they were to marry at

news later to the families Of both. She
came TO New York and they were
married secretly, but they have never
lived together as man and wife, and
they Will not do 80 until some definite
settlement is agreed upon. The only
possible opposition on Ward McAllsfer's
part is young McAllister's i'll health and
his inability to provide properly for a wife
and family. Mrs. McAllister wishes 1t un-
