roofing of few houses the damage is be-
heved not to be serious. So far as heard
from nobody was injured in the neighbor-

them in making the exposition as remark
able for its attendance as it was for its
material grandeur. This appeal is a sam
pie of hundreds of others with which the
directors have been flooded for the past
six weeks, and the conclusion was forced
upon them that much was to be gained
and little to be lost by Sunday closing.
Concessionaires Don't Like It.
The action of the directors will deal a
severe blow to the interests of concession
aires, many of whom count upon Sunday
as their most profitable day, but the ma
jority of exhibitors as far as could be
learned are satisfied with the closing.

were reluctant to admit that Sunday open-
ing had proved failure, butthe dwindling
attendance and the opposition of many
exhibitors who were unwilling to meet
the extra expense entailed by a seven-dav
fair has forced the conclusion upon the
local managers OF the exposition that moth
ing was to be gained by Sunday fair.
Those Mysteries Were All Wrong.
The people who went into Mysteries ove-
the proposal to deprive the working people
of their rights seem to have been a little
OLA good deal "off'' indeed The work
ing people who are unable to attend ON
week days have not taken kindly to Sun
day fair with motionless machinery and
covered exhibits. The persistent opposi-
ton of the religious element throughout
the country has without doubt had
powerful influence in bringing about the
action OF the directors
Promises of the Sabbatarians.
Hundreds of petitions have been re-
ceived from religious bodies and promi-
nent preachers praying that the fair be
closed on Sundays and promising all the
aid in their power to make the exposition

taken. One letter was read to the direct

That General Demand Was Absent.
The address declared that fair
trial had proved that there was no general
demand for an open Sunday, and that the
highest success of the exposition was i'm
perllled by the alienation of millions of
people who were opposed to Sunday open
ing. 1t appealed to the directors to close

INDIAN HOSPITALITY.
A Woman won treated In n Mountain
MIesion.

when Mrs. Jackson was pursuing her in
yestigations among tho mission Indians of
Southern California she was invited 10
pass the night az Potrero-a mountain
meadow or pasture-hieh up the noun
tam side and reached by an al
most imrassable road. Tho Indian who
gave her tho invitation assured her timid-
ly that they had plenty OF beds and would
do all they knew how 20 do 30 make her
aud her companion comfortable. How
we'll this promise was fulfilled may DO
gathered from Mrs. Jackson's narrative:
ono might be IN many a dear-priced ho-
tcl less comfortably lodged and served
than we were by these hospitable Indians
in their mud house hOored with earth.
In my bedroom were three beds, all
neatly made, with lace-trlmmed sheets and
plllow.cases and patchwork coyerlids. As
/ iell asleep wondered II in tho morning
! should see Indian heads on the pillows
opposite nue.. The whole place was swarm
ing with men, women, and babies. and II
seemed impossible for them 20 spare so
many beds. Bat no, when | walked there
were tho beds still undisturbod.
A soft-oyod Indian Clri was on her knees
rummnging IN one OF the trunks. Seeing
mo awake. she murmurod a few words In
Indian. which conveyed her apology ms
we'll as II had understood them. from
the verv bottom of the trunk she drew

with fresh water As she set IL in the
chair. in which she had already put tim

smlled and made "a sign that 1t was for my
teeth.

When said to my hostess that re-
eretted very much that they had gwen
