A RECKLESS EXAGGERATION.
he Boston Evangelical Alliance has

The Boston Evangelical Alliance has
recently telegraphed Attorney general
Olney that petitioners representing
forty millions of the best citizens of the
country" demanded the closing of the
worlds fair on Sunday. If the persons
who send such dispatches take time to
calmly consider their declaration, they
will see that in their zeal to prevent
what they regard as an infraction of one
command of the Decalogue they have
declared their utter disregard of the
spirit of another equally essential pro-
hibition contained in the Ten Command
ments. In the first place. the number
of persons in this country over ten years
of age does not much exceed forty mil
lions. All the persons, old and young,
in the country who are within the direct
influence of the church are about twenty
five millions, and many of these are not
members. These figures include the
Catholics, who are six millions. Car
dinal Gibbons and other high ecclesi-
astics in that church favor Sum-
day opening. To these must be
added the large number of per-
soma who belong to or attend and
support churches who are really in favor
of Sunday opening. Quito a large num-
Der of Protestant clergymen, represent
ing large church organizations. have
declared that there can be no objection
to Sunday opening. Furthermore. there
is good reason to believe that If vote
were taken upon the question in a man.
ner which would give free expression
to the sentiments of all intelligent
people, it would show majority in
favor of Sunday opening. The number
of people in the churches who maintain
the rigid observance of Sunday which
used to prevail among q number of ex-
cellent church organizations is now very
small. People who read secular books
and papers, walk or ride for recreation,
or make calls on Sunday, arc in no
position 20 denounce an opening of the
worlds fair which does not involve the
running of machinery. Much less are
those people who are fighting Sunday
opening as Christian organizations war
ranted in proclaiminR what every in .
telligent person knows to be q reckless
and inexcusable exaeeeration.

SHOT By A BURGLAR.
Paying Teller Mccullough, of the State Bank
of ST. Louis. Killed by Thief

burb of this city. just before dawn this
morning. BENJAMIN Mccullough. paying
teller of the State Bank of st. Louis, was
shot and killed by burglar. Apparently
Mr.. Mccullough heard the burglar. and,
arising to protect his property. secured q
shotgun. The burglar. evidently, left the
honse, and Mr.. Mccullough followed hun
to the yard. where scuffie followed, in
which the length of the shotgun prevented
it's use while the burglars revolver came
into play and q bullet was sent crashing
into McCullough's brain. The murderer
escaped. President Charles Parsons of
the State bank has offered 81 900 for the
capture OF the murderer. The State will
probably add S5C0 to this aDd the Bank
Clerks Association has decided TO do the
same. and will also pay $1,000 TO the family
of the murdered man. :

phenomenon appears as regularly as the
