Renewed attention IS called by the
New York Independent to the brutality
OF tho best military establishment in the
world. A on.commissioued officer had
been unusually brutal to German
recruit of good family, who eventually
was driven to suicide to escape the deg
radiation to which he was forced, but
not before he had written letter to his
parents giving full account Of what he
suffered. This letter was sent by them
TO the Emperor who has caused the ar.
rest of the brute. A result has been the
discovery Of the fact that out OF 137
deaths In the army during December last,
twenty four were suicides mostly caused
by desperation at the tyranny of non'
commissioned officers. But war 4

Talk of Religious Boycott of tho Fai,

Hunter of the Central Presbyterian
Church of this city, who represented the
American Sabbath Union and the Young
Peoples Society for Christian Endeayor
h. fore the committeo of Congress In op-
position TO the opening Of the Worlds
Fair on Sunday, says it has been fully
determined to test the legality of the &C
ton which the directory is reported to be
in favor of taking.
The sentiment of opposition, he says,
is as strong now as ever it was. lie be
lievcs that from financial standpoint
the Fair management would be unwise
in having an open Fai-, even if they
could do so legally. He has been in cor
rcspondence with tho editors Of thirty
religious newspapers, and without cx'
ccption they are not only opposed tc
open gates on Sunday, but believe Chris
tiau people should refrain from visiting
the Fair at any time if the gates are open
Several Of these editors orc squcamish or
the boycott phase, but express their in
tention to advise their readers of tRti
own r;ows Oil tho subject. Mr.. Hunter
SAYS the boycott idea is repulsive to him
but that the action of Christian people in
lhis direction does MT come under the dc
scription of a boycott. Itwou'd b.no NOR,

people who conscivnt ously refrain from.
goiug to saloons or & ,mbling houses. He
is of the bel cf that should it be decided
open the FAIR an expression of opinio
will be made by re igious bodies that will
cause a falling off in attendance more
than enough to offset the receipts on the
TWENTY-FIVE Sunia g.
lie remark, Il that the management H.
longer discusses the Sunday question
from the standpoint of its being an nc
commodation for wage carncrs, but thai
it is treated sole y with reference to tho
debit and credit side of the ledger. Iii
estimate is that not more than 100, ,00J
persons will attend on each Sunday who
would not pay the sanio admission money
on other days. This would net 1880,
900 for the tw. nty-tive Sundays. He j!
confident that 1,50 1000 or 1000 00(
persons who would have visited the Fair
not less than three days, will remair
away. The minimum loss of receipt:
therefore. would be So, 2,25O.O00.
