THE question of Sunday opening of
the worlds fair is settled. SO far as it
can be outside of the courts, in favor of
opening. The case stands thus: About
week ago the local directors adopted
a rule providing for the opening of the
gates on Sunday. The act of Congress
organizing the fair provided that rules
and regulations for its government
should originate with the local directory,
Subject, however, to such modifica-
ton, If any. as may be imposed by a
majority of said [national1 commission
ers." A majority of the national COM
mission consists of fifty-five members.
At the meeting on Tuesday there were
fifty-eiRht members present. and on the
question of modifying the order of the
local directors only thirty -one voted in
favor of such action. This left the Sum
day opening order of the local directors
in force. Nothing further will be done
in the matter unless the United States
district attorney. OF his own motion, or
a member of the national commission,
or some other person authorized to do
SO. shall institute procee dinRs to test
tho question of Sunday opening in the
courts.

YESTERDAY there arrived in Chicago
the first of what it is hoped will be
series of foreign excursion parties.
This one consisted of about 100 ladies
and gentlemen from Germany and Aus
fria- Hungary under the guidance of
Berlin firm of booking and excursion
agents. There were no princes or
mobiles among them, but they evidently
belonged To the upper class of untitled
people. The agent who had the party
in charge said there would be large
European attendance at the fair.

In her address before the women
journalists at Chicago. Susan B. An
thony urged the establishment in that
city of daily newspaper which should
be owned, controlled, managed and
edited exclusively by women. The
business manager was to be woman.
the clerical force to be women, the
managing editor, editorial writer's, city
editor. reporters. night editor. tele-
graph editor, sporting editor, proof
readers and cOmpositors all women.
The paper should be primarily a news
paper, but all its departments should be
favorable to women. Miss Antnony's
suggestion proved very popular with
the audience, and il was agreed without
a dissenting voice that it ought to be
carried out. 1t will be very easy to
carry it out on paper. but in order to
give the scheme substantially the
women should secure the cooperation
of q woman millionaire or two and an
accomm I'D ating woman banker.

THE best answer that could be made
to the few complaints which have been
made to the effect that the leading
hotels of the city are not keeping the
agreement entered into with the national
officers of the Grand Army is the fact
that one proprietor agreed to leave the
construction Of the agreement to COM
mittee chosen by Commander-in-ch
Weissert. Furthermore. while first
class hotel accommodations are not ms
extensive as in the larger cities, the
charges by those hotels will be as
reasonable as those of hotels in other
cities during the encampment period.
As for the accommodations of boarding
and private houses, they will be ample,
