NOW AN OPEN QUESTION.


CHICAGO, July 2I-Chef Justice Fuller
to-day decided the case of the world
Columbian exposition VS.. the United States
in the Circuit Court of Appeals by revers-
ing the decree Of tho lower court and re
manding the cause for further proceedings.
In the United States Circuit Court Judges
Wood and jenkins had gran ted prelimin-
airy injunction closing the fair on Sundays.
Judge Grosscup, dissenting, delivered an
opinion tavoring the opening OF the fair.
The order Of to-day leaves both sides free
from any legal ties. An application can
now be made by the government to the
Circuit Court Tor permanent injunction
and final hearing had. From the decision
as then rendered another appeal could be
taken. These proceedings would occupy
considerable time aud it is more than prob
able that the lair would be closed long b.

TREASURY GOLD INCREASING.
And the Balance OF Trade Is Decreasing
in Favor.

WASHINGTON, July 2S.-The large orders
given by New York financial houses for
gold abroad to be imported into this couu-
try, are regarded at the treasury depart
ment as favorable symptoms OF returning
confidence. Heavy shipments OF American
cereals abroad within the past two months,
has materially reduced the balance of trade
against us, and under such circumstance, it
will be natural for the United States to
continue to receive gold from abroad.
Cold 10 considerable quantities is also
coming here from the West Indies From
present Indications the gold in tue treasury
will soon pass 500 coo, 900. 1t is to.dny
S91 $50, 900. When the 800, 00O 600 mark
is passed the treasury will again resume the
issuance of gold certificates, which by law
had TO be sus pended when the treasury gold

Merchants with mixed

Merchants famiIiarwith mixed
paints that have been put upon the market
during the past ten years, will tell you that
many of the manufacturers OF these paints
seem to tn nix that they could sell anything
that was labelled paint, that the merchant
cared little what was contained in these
paints, and it made no difference 10 the
consumer The chespuess and convenience
OF mixed paints, however, counted much in
their favor But the demand for mixed paint
that was actually paint, and not simply
labelled paint became apparent, and mer
chants received thu Chiffon Paints when
they were introduced upon the market,
with the greatest of favor, because they
knew that they were mado out of the best
materials that could be bought, wera full
measure, and that none of the tricks used
to cheaper thu cost of production were re-
sorted to- The merchant could recommend
them. The standard OF excellence has new
er been lowered The same quality of
paint is put up in pound cans as in large
packages, Chiffon Paint Co., New York
and Boston.

as we halt before the first one we reach.
The door is locked, but repeated pulls at
the bell arouse somebody, and the door
opens far enough to admit glimpse of
womans face. I ask for dinner and
am met with the information that 1--WE
never furnish meals for anybody unless
they are ordered the day before" The
end of the sentence is clipped off by the
closing of the door and the swapping of
the bolt into the socket. My own NUT
terings are re-echoed by my companion
in misery as we take up the line of march
to the next place. Here the door is open,
and we march boldly in.
Through the hall, Office and waiting
! room do we wander, and not until we
reach the kitchen of the establishment
do we find the occupants. Two slattern-
~ women are OF, rather have been eat
ing their dinner from a table pushed up
against the side of the wall. Either
their appetites resembled ours or they
had little to eat, for the table, like Moth
er Hubbard's cupboard, was bare.
"Can we get dinner here?"
"Nay, but I've not bit. Ye should
have ordered it yesterday, and good
dinner ye would have had today"
"But wasn't here to order it," an
swered Grossly
"Aye, but there's the post, lass. Much
coed food would be wasted if we cooked
up mess and waited for peoples to
rome and eat it, It's the rule to order
It a bit before We want it, and very
good rule it is"
"Well, but can't you get us little
something? We are not particular at
hll."
GIVE nothing at all in the house. In
deed we eat scraps ourselves"
"Well, give us some scraps then"
I am desperate, but she commences to
gather up the empty plates, saying short
ly, "We've eaten them hall"
The third hotel is closed, and passing
youngster volunteers the information,
"They's gone to a picnic" In desperate
silence we proceed to the fourth and last
sne, and again meet with disappoint-
ment. ''The missis has been ailing for
some days, and we cawn't feed strangers,
but we can have something to drink"
We call at private houses, but have no
better success. We finally call at the
only grocery store that the little village
can boast and purchase some musty
crackers. You know cheese is the regu-
latlon thing with crackers, but they are
"Just OUT here. And jam, the staple
article for grocery stores in this coun-
try, IS not to be found today. So we
carry Oil our crackers, and under the
friendly shade of the hedge we slowly
MUNICH on them.
Our bad luck followed us all through
the remainder of the day, and when we
did find an abiding place for the night
we astonished the household by the sup

per We alo. IL Is only Ialf TO say Just
here, though. that this was an exceptional
rule in our experiences, and we ascribe
it to the fact that it was Monday and the
good housewives had not refurnished the
usually well stocked larders after the
Sunday depredations on them.
Reaching Manchester, we had several
letters of introduction to different peo-
pie there. The first person sought we
had no difficulty in finding, and we were
warmly greeted by Mr.. Smith, one of
the leading dry goods merchants of the
city, who was rejoiced to see somebody
coming from America and ssBrother
john" He piled US with eager questions
in regard to the same John and his nu-
merous sons and daughters.
: To be sure, I was somewhat puzzled
over some of the questions they asked
in regard to their far distant relatives,
as well as their ignorance of their pres
emit surroundings. However, as we were
in pleasant quarters and the entire fam
lily were exerting themselves to enter
tain us, ! was not disposed to give much
thought to such immaterial matters.
After the o'clock dinner we took our
departure, accepting an invitation to
spend the following day at this delight
full place and drive about the city with
Mrs. Smith and spend the evening at
the opera. The next day we discovered
that this wasn't the Mr.. Smith we were
introduced to by letter at all, but some
body else entirely. To be sure, our new
ly discovered friends had relatives
somewhere in America" but they
might just as well be in Africa as far as
the matter of our knowing them was
concerned. We were earnestly pressed
not to let that matter interfere in the least
and accept their hospitality just the same,
but we concluded that we 'shadn't bet
ter" and after some hearty laughs over
the mutual mistake we separated.
In fact, we've found by experience
it doesn't much matter whether one
knows ''our folks in the States" or not.
AS long as we come from the same coun-
try where they are it sufices with the
most Of them and insures us pleasant
treatment wherever we go.
Our road from Manchester to Black
pool was, as we had been warned that it
would be, ga bit oop (up) all the way
thither." And long, hard pull it was,
but once there we were well repaid.
Blackpool is to England what Newport
is to America, and gayety and fashion
reign supreme. We were introduced
to some Of the prominent citizens of the
place, and in conversation with one Of
them on the points Of interest in the
town he remarked: you'll see one
thing here that will doubtless be of con-
siderable interest to you, and that is our
electric trans Now, you go down on
the Main street ERE and presently you'll
see tram running along with no appar-
emit means of making it go. It moves by
electricity"
EIDE coughs significantly while has
ten to assure him that even in benighted
America they have 'ssuch things as
those"
He looks at me sternly as if he really
thought l was fbbing and makes no
further attempt to give me interesting
information, and after few questions
on the Chicago fair, on which subject
we are continually being quizzed, he
bows himself off.

Especial Correspondence

BLAcKPooL, England, June 29.-Have
you ever been hungry? OF course 1 don't
mean common everyday desire for
food. but real, genuine hunger, such as
imagine many poor child in our lar
ger cities often experiences. We have
had that feeling. Starting early one
morning from Chester on our way to
Manchester, we ate but little before
commencing the journey, promising our
selves to ''get lunch before dinner
time" to take the place of the breakfast
we did not care for. But we discovered
that hotels in this country are not hotels
at all, according to our American inter-
probation of the word, and that it isn't a
bit nice to be real hungry and not able
to satisfy the stomach's demands, espe-
cially when one isn't accustomed to the
sensation. But to the experience.
A few miles ride in the bracing June
air acted like spring tonic on our ap-
petites, and we agreed that we must have
something to eat. We draw up before
one of the wayside taverns with which
all English roads are plentifully supplied
tug vigorously at the old iron knocker,
which is placed almost out of my reach
near the top of the door. A grim faced
woman presently appears.
ssWe would like little lunch if you
please"
"We don't ave food for peoples" she
says shortly.
ssBut couldn't we have some sand
VniohQo ord 1r1oec &c ,,,:1J-ov
"Noo; we don't ave them. We ave
beer and cider"
We turn sadly away, but Edith re-
marks courageously, "Well. we can
stand it awhile longer anyway" and so
we push on. In the course of an hour
or so we come across another tavern,
This time it is a brisk, nervous little man
who answers our knock. He looks per-
picked and eyes us doubtfully as we pre-
fer our request, and at last says:
sit might be managed if the missis was
in, but she's away for the day, and she's
left but sup for me ownself and the
lads"
"But couldn't you let us have some
milk?"
t'Nay; we keep no cows, but yonder
neighbor, a bit beyond me here, has a
fine COW, and it maybe We can get drink
there"
He has prophesied correctly, and we
do obtain the milk, but are briefly re-
fused anything to eat.
Noon draws on apace, the sun rays
grow hot, and the roads are white and
dusty. Still we have had nothing to eat,
but our courage rises as riding swiftly
down little incline we turn sharply
and come into the one long narrow street
of little village. Looking ahead Of us,
on four different buildings we see the
welcome word, "Hotel," and visions of
a bountiful dinner fit before our eyes
