a Quaint Memorial.

The parents of a child that died some
few years back in the Great Ormond
Street Hospital for Children have hit
upon II quaint and in many respects ad-
mirablo method Of perpetuating his
memory. On each anniversary of the
child's death II performance of "Punch
and Judy" takes place in every ward in
the hospital. This great festival-for 1
need not say that it is II great festival to
everybody concerned has been duly
celebrated again.
The only blot upon it was that one poor
little fellow had to be taken away Just
before the performance commenced to
undergo an operation, but it will be u
satisfaction to every reader to hear that
he was more than consoled by subsc-
quently having Toby" brought to his
bed BY II kind nurse for a private inter-
view, and thus fortified under his trO;i-
bles the little patient progressed most IA
vorably. People who lose children arc
often DESTROYS of concentrating the lit
tie lives i'll some way, and too often their
efforts in that direction are not overlap
py. Here is II hint for guidance in all
such cases. 1t ma he varied almost in.

MAY OPEN ON SUNDAY.
An Open Fight in the National Commis-
sion of the Fair.

sion oil the fair.
CHICAGO, April 26.-Sunday opening
OF the worlds fair was brought squarely
before the national commission wheh il
met in the administration building on
the worlds fair grounds today. Com
missioner Eiboeck, of Iowa, introduced
the subject and at once started a wrangle
among the commissioners in which
Judge Massey took a leading part as op.
posed to any discussion or consideration
of the matter. There were sixty members
Of the commission present. Commits
sioner Eiboeck sprung his sensation by
a resolution in which he recited that
there was q well defined senti-
ment among the people o, the country
in favor of Sunday opening and Il gener-
al feeling that the matter was not yet
definitely settled. but only hold in abey-
auce. The provision for Sunday clos
ing was imposed by congress conditional
on certain %pecuniary assistance, but in
giving this assistance it had withheld
over a half million dollars. 1t was a
seriously debated proposition whether
the withholding of tins sum was not Il
violation Of the agreement with the fair:
Il therefore move continued Elbocck,
that this commission request the au-
thorities of the state of Illinois, and the
authorities OF the city Of Chicago, which
have a greater stake and interest in this
exposition than tho United States gov
eminent, to request the local board Of
directors to take necessary steps to test
the legality of the Sunday closing pro-
vision in the state and federal courts"
Judge Massey could hardly wait until
Eiboeck concluded before 90 was on his
feet to reply. This Sunday closing
question has been absolutely and finally
settled and passed upon by this com
mission" be said. This commission
cannot reopen the question. Any at
tempt to reopen it, as suggested by the
gentleman from Iowa would donation
alize the exposition. The resolution he
sides is out of order.
THAT is a question" retortcd Com
missioner Elboeck. II move that the
question of resolutions being in order or
not be referred to the judiciary com
mittee."
Massey opposed this and IA number OF
the commissioners spoke on the subject,
but when it was finally put to a vote it
carried. The committees report will be
make tomorrow morning.
A lively discussion was precipitated by
a resolution offered by Clendenning of
Arkansas, providing for a committee of
four to wait on the director general and
elicit all the facts regarding the alleged
characterization of Musical Director
Theodore Thomas and his supposed
championship Of New York piano men,
in opposition to his superior officers.
The resolution was finally adopted.

Secession Talk In Texaa.

At the r, cent immigration convention
at Wichita Falls Mr.. Alexander intro
duced q resolution advising that the Pan
handle practically secede from the Lone
Star State and set up for itself.
A Globe-Democrat representative met
the Hon. A. L. Carter and asked him
what he thought of the proposition. The
ex-senator said at once that he was OPP
posed to any division whatever. In his
opinion there was no grounds for such q
step as the resolution contemplated. His
understanding was that the Panhandle
people based their proposition principally
upon the assumed fact they were not be-
ing considered in the location of the new
courts which are now under contempla-
ton; that their rights were in danger.
and in order to secure what they believed
was justice to that portion of the state
they proposed to cut loose from the COM
monwealth and organize a state by them
selves.
In the first place, Mr.. Carter said, there
was no prosperous country in the world
where the courts were able to keep
abreast of the litigation, and it was a no.
torious fact that the chief reason for the
enormous number of cases in the Texas
courts was the fact that so many lawyers
accepted briefs on contingent fees. The
Panhandle people were comparatively
strangers. They came to Texas and took
advantage of the cheap lands to provide
homes for themselves and were now ell
%deavorinc to create a state of feeling
which might develop into serious conse-
quences to the people of Tcxas.-Cor. st.

CLEVELAND, o., April ga special
from Toledo says: Ann Arbor stock has
dropped from 30 to l3 since Monday in

public this looks panicky and forebodes
disaster and ruin for the company. The
public may worry, but some Toledo peo-
pie are not the least bit concerned. The
recent fight with the engineers Of the
road was but a means to this end, and
information was given your correspond
ent by a man who has protited by SINH

This person informed your correspond
ent some time ago that the engineers
were purposely imposed upon in order to
precipitate a strike and depreciate the
floating stock. Ann Arbor at that time
was bobbing from 81 to 30 which is as
high as il was ever quoted. Your cor
respondent afterward learned that Geo.
h. Pomeroy, one of Toledo's solid bust
ness men, had picked up a large block of
Ann Arbor at ii and sold at 81
during a similar manipulation last sum
mer, and an interview with Pomeroy
now confirms the report, The develop
ments OF the last two days indicate that
the information given was correct. The
stock was doomed to 80 by "A transfer
