What with California, Utah and other
celebrations the 9th was such a lively day
that the silence of Sunday the 10th, could
be felt; but on the IIth the veterans and
silver men reopened the racket, and yes
terday Maryland did herself honor. The
formal exercises took place at Music hall
in the afternoon-prayer by His Eminence
James Cardinal Gibbons, Introductory re-
marks by Governor Brown and Grafton by
Hon John V l.. Findlay. Today is for
Michigan and the Amateur Athletic
union, and Ohio promises that tomorrow
will lie the biggest day between that OF
Illinois and that of Chicago. The indica.
tions are that she will succeed, for there
are and have been for some days more
Ohio people on the grounds than from any
other state except Illinois. Several days
ago a single train from Cincinnati brought
l,5O0 people and the registration at the
Ohio building averaged 1000 a day for
some time. Secretary Alberson says he
will guarantee that 5000 Ohio people will
pass the gates in the three days ending to
morrow.
dlSO Juc hteltl
began to arrive. The delegations from
the west are to be led by the military band
from Fort Leavenworth and the Milwau-
kee military band is also to take part To
morrow evening in Central Music hall
there will be singing by the ladies OF
Dwight, Ills, who organized the popular
concerts to amuse the patients at the orig
inal Kelley institute. Many celebrated
persons will take part, as many of that
sort confess to having been "bitten" and
cured by Kelley. On the 18th, which is
Kelley Day proper, it is promised that TO-
900 Kelley beneficiaries will appear in the
procession and there will be grand re-
unions of those formerly patients in each of
theseveral retreats. The finest pyrotechnic
portrait ever presented i'm Chicago $50 say
the artists now getting it up) will be that
of DR.. Kelley, which will glow long and
brightly on the lake front during theeven-
ing fireworks of the 18th. On the same
day the railroad men will fifty commem-
crate the sixty-third anniversary of the
opening of the Manchester and Liv-
erpool railway, officially taken as
the beginning of the railroad era.
Colorado hurried up her celebration
which was to have been on the
10Th, and did her commemorating on the
10th, because Governor Waite was here
and could not return and still more be
cause her veterans returning from the
grand encampment at indianapolis could
be here on the 12th. The reader is to bear
in mind that all this time the grandest
show of blooded stock ever organized in
America has been in progress, filing the
big pavilion daily with tens of thousands
of delighted farmers and "bucyri" and
that mere list of the awards would fill
many columns like this.
The Catholic church congress began on
the 4th and one week later the worlds
parliament of religions, the Oecumenical
Council of Humanity as one may
say, opened with an attendance,
an interest and vigor of dis
eussion that astonished even the most
sanguine of its promoters. 1t was ordered
by the committee and agreed to by the
participants that no analysis of any paper
should be given out in advance of it's read
ing and no full publication made of any
till all had been delivered; but enough has
appeared to show that all the faiths OF all
mankind may, by leaving off few super
fiuities. be reduced to four, of which one
and that the very lowest is of course not
represented here. This is Fetichism which
men ofan other religions deny place rs
a religion. and treat it as mere supersti-
tion. 1t is the finding of god in every.
thing vile, and its worship is of snakes,
toads, flies and the like.
OF the other three the faith in Emana-
tion and Absorption is that the universe
and the soul are eternal, going through
changes, and that the faithful
man will after this life eventually lose his
identity in the divine or infinite soul OF
the universe. And this is the faith of
about two-fifths of the human race This
Is Buddhism, il l understand it's expon-
ents, when one gets down to the essence of
it. The faith that matter and the soul
were alike created. but that matter will be !
destroyed while the soul will not, is the |
faith of the Semitic races and of such as
have adopted it from them, our own race /
included. OF the fourth grand division nc !
exponent has yet been heard, but it is I
spoken of as Universal Spiritualism. The
