SUNDAY Ar THE FAIR.

SUNDA ~ AL = AAAAs
Perhaps nothing connected with the big
show soon to be opened at Chicago has
caused more disappointment than the de-
cision to keep the grounds closed on Sun
day. Many good people interested In the
matter are honestly wondering whether
the decision is right or wrong. They are
asking themselves If 1t would not be better
for the hosts of visitors and the hosts of
Chicago people who do not work Sundays
to be allowed to visit the fair on that day,
and there be quietly entertained and edu-
GATED than to spend the day, as 30 many
of them will, in seeking entertainment of
a more or less questionable nature In
and around Chicago. Bishop Spalding
of Illinois puts the matter In an
impressive way when he says: I hope
some means can yet be devised through
which the fair will be opened Sunday.
There will be thousands of visitors here,
and, with the saloons and places of vice
being wide open while the gates of the
fair are shut, fear there will be cause
for regret that the exposition was closed.
I believe that all the museums and libraries
should be open Sundaysi They act as
educators, and no one disputes the fact
that they elevate mankind. If Puritanical
customs must prevail, why not close the
public parks on suudaysl If Christian
ministers insist on closing the gates of
the exposition, workingmen will believe
that the church has no sympathy with
them, and the influence the church now
has among them will be almost entirely
destroyed.
Of course the argument is and has been
that there should not be, at this great
national and international fair, held though
it is near heather city, anything that
looks like an intimation that Sunday is
not holy day, and holy in the old Amer
ican way. This argument strikes a good
many as much more sentimental than
practical. 1t is interesting to note that
thirty thousand people paid for admission
to the fair grounds last Sunday, and 1t Is
said that Chicago employers are consider
ing proposition to allow their employees
to work on Sunday and have holiday on
Monday to go to the fair.

A MEDIEVAL MURDER OF TO-DAY.
The Prime Minister of Native Indian
State Slain.
London Daily News.

The story of the murder of the Prime
Minister of the native State of Ulwa. III
Northwestern India. reads more like a tale
from the criminal annals of some medl3yal
Italian puncipality than q record of the
present day. The minister was murdered
while out riding by gang of assassins.
The inquiry ordered by the Indian Gov
erDment has resulted not only in the con-
vIctiou of one of the principal military
officers of the Ulwar State, out in q decla-
ration by the court that the murder was
executed by order of the late MabaraJah
of Ulwar.
1t appears that this parsonage. desiring
for sundry reasons to have the minister
removed" confided the task TO the officer
commanding the imperial service troops.
that is. the force which the Ulwar State
undertakes to send into the field should
the Indian government cali for its services.
This worthy got together gang OF men,
including some of his own soldiers, way
laid the Minister, and while some of the
party patrolled the road, others-as one OF
them VINO turned Queens evidence ex-
pressed it," used their swords
They pleaded in defence that they were
obliged TO carry out the orders of the Ma
haraiah In committing the act. The court
held that such orders had been given, but
decided that they constituted no defence,
and sentenced two of the party to death
and others TO various terms of penal servi-
tude. Adequately 10 appreciate this affair
1t should be remembered that Ulwar is no
wiid-hlll State on the outer confines of
India, but an ancient principality in the
heart of the country, within short dis
lance OF Delhi. The late Maharaiah mad
received an English education. and Ulwar
ls in many respects accounted an excel
