A CHILLY DAY.
1t Has a Depressing Effect Upon the
Spirits Of the Worlds Fair
SavaSes.
The Worlds Fair Board Of Directors
Passed Resolution to Open
the Exposition Sundays.

CnIcAGo, May lG-The attendance at
the worlds fair today was not as great
as that Of Yesterday. The weather was
unpleasant and the greater portion of
the day the sky was concealed by clouds
The air was damp and things in general
seemed to conspire TO make the fair an
unattractive place. The savages from
the interior of Africa, Egypt and the
wilds of Asia, who are temporarily quar-
tered in Midway plaisance, were gloomy
and il possible more filthy than common
in their abodes. They sat about the
stoves in their quarters and shivered an
shook with the cold and looked discor
solate and homesick. The Dahomeyans
and Soudaneze wound themselves up il
their badly soiled garments, while the
Turks and Arabs and Moors muped
about and looked sick. and at noon
bowed themselves toward the east and
prayed to Allah tor warmer weather.
The most active people at the fair to-
day were the official representatives Of
Norway ana about huEuTeu members
of the local Norwegian societies. They
were preparing for the opening of the
Norwegian exhibit tomorrow. 1t is init
mated that from 1900 20 10000 Nor
wegian citizens Of Chicago will attend
the opening exercises.
Both Legislative bodies Of the worlds
fair national commission and local di-
rectory are laboring diligently with the
| i 10 lptf TOR
body has adopted resolution revoking
the rule fo-biddng the opening Of the
gates on Sundays and at a meeting Of
the commissioners tomorrow it Is prob
able that this resolution viii be brought
up for concurrence. What action the
commission will take Is Il matter Of un-
certainty. Many OF the commissioners
hold that congress alone can revoke the
rules, while others claim that congress
vested the commissioners and directory
with the power.

pended business yesterday, being in
volved by the assignment Of w. NJ

Hat Trimmings May Cost the Treasury

Hat Trimmings May Cost the Treasury
100000, 900 Through Official Errors.
WASHINGTON, May 15.--The supreme
court of the United States today affirmed
its previous ruling as laid down in the
Langfeld case in what is popularity
known as the that trimmings case 1t
came up on appeal from judgments OF
the circuit courts, two from the Eastern
district. of Pennsylvania and one from
the Northern district of Illinois, the con-
troversy in each case being between the
collector of the port and importers us
to the rating to be made upon material
used for hat trimmings. Justice Shiras
announced the opinion and judgment OF
the court in which he stated that in the
Pennsylvania cases where the judgment
of the circuit court was in favor of the
contention of importers, that the goods
in question were liable to duty as hat
trimmings and not as silk or manufac-
lures of silk, the ruling was in accord
ance with the judgment of the supreme
court in former cases adjudicated. In
this, said Justice Shiras, we find there
was no error and therefore the judgment
of the circuit court in these two cases
will stand affirmed.
1t follows from this. he said that in
the case appealed from the Northern dis
trict of Illinois, wherein the judgment of
the court was in favor of the contention
of the collector and the goods were de-
clared to be dutiable as silk or manufac-
lures of silk, that the judgment must be
reversed, and it is so ordered.
1t is estimated at the treasury depart
ment that by the loss of the hat trim
mings case the United States will be
called upon to refund from eight to ten
million dollars. Some estimates place it
as high as S30,O00,OOO. Secretary Fos-
ter's estimate was 525,000,000. lie offer
cd to compromisos Tor 50 100000 but the
compromise was not effected. During
the last three years S2,0OO,000 of duty in
these cases has been refunded.

MINNEApOLIs, May 1j.-There was an
excited run on the Farmers and Mechan-
ics Savings bank today through a mis-
understanding. The Farmers and Mer-
chants bank was reported in trouble, ,and
and run started on it. The names be-
came confused as the story circulated,
and depositors in both banks became
much excited. The Farmers and Me-
chanics is one Of the strongest institu-
tions in the country, ,conservatively man
aged, and with abundant resources, SO
that all demands were met promptly and
the bank was not affected in the least.
However, the Farmers and Merchants
was not so strong and at noon was
closed for the day, notice being posted
that would reopen in few days
This banks paidup capital is $4,000
and surplus $500. 1t is believed the
banks resources are equal to meet all
demands, although the cash on hand
today was insufficient for today 8 run.
Stringency in the east and demands from
that quarter for money intrusted to the
Northwestern Guarantee Loan company
for investment has resulted in serious
embarrassment Of that company. 1t has
not suspended yet, and may not be
obliged to do so, but it is feared it will
be com 2elled to do so in few days. The
company is about ten years old and has
a capital stock of S1,250O00

what Connection Has II With the Present
Generation?

The celebrated Bridge Of Signs has
always been looked upon as the acme Of
suffering and misery. With what a feel
ing of horror we think of the thousands
of victims who have crossed it never TO
return. But there is another bridge al
most as old as the world itself, and which
is as prolific Of suffering to-day as in the
carly ages. There is n bridge connecting
health and disease which has caused more
signs in the history OF the world than any
structure built 10y the hand OF man. it is
a subject for universal sadness when we
think how many are daily crossing this
bridge. Can we return or must we leave
the sunlight of health forever behind us (;
