Blackfoot news. (Blackfoot, Idaho) 1891-1902, 1893-08-05

The Columbian Fair is not the only
Sunday opening failure Of the year.
Now come the directors of the New
York Metropolitan Museum Of Art
and say in their annual report "The
results show that thus far there has
been loss of 400 members with the
$4,000 which we were annually receiv-
ing from them. We have lost the
sympathy and favor Of an important
portion Of the public. We know of
large bequests which have been revek-
ed on account Of Sunday opening,
and, finally, we are in debt this year,
on account Of Sunday expenses, be-
tween $4,000 and So, 600" As at
Chicago, the attendance fell off and
off after curiosity was satisfied The
truth is that our people use Sunday
either for worship or for rest. They
do not want the fatigue of sight-see-
ing nor the work Of education on this
day.

from Henry Clews, the we'll known

another amendment would also be wise.

would provide tho nation with enough
money for her needs and would bc the
best and most legitimate kind besides.
