Theodore Thomas has been asked by
Director-General Davis to turn over the
keys, documents and everything else
pertaining to the musical bureau to the
chief OF the department of liberal arts

Attorney General Olney rendered an
opinion in which he holds that the laws
OF Congress providing for the World 5
Fair prohibit the opening of the branch
postoflice located in the Postoffice De-
partment exhibit Sundays. In accord
ance with this opinion the postoflice and
other government exhibits will probably
be closed Sundays.
Considerable discomfort and uneasi-
ness is apparent among some OF the
laoorers on the grounds and janitors OF
different buildings because their salaries
are not forthcoming. The contractors
have been putting them off from time to
time with the information that they
viii be paid when the exposition gives
them the money due ON their contract.
1t is expected that the contractor will
not be paid until he has finished the
job.
The livestock department of the OK.

The ladies OF the congress came near
having serious row on account of the
alleged slight put upon Helen NJ. Gou-
,ar. 1t seems the lady's name was omit
ed from the official programme. Her
riends resented this as an insult. but
when IL was reported that Mrs. NAV
Wright Sewall, President of the National
}ouncil of Women, had issued verba,
rider 10 the Presidents OF the various
apartment meetings to exclude Mrs.
iougar from participation in the speech
making things became decidedly warm. I
lrs. Cougar started on a still hunt. and
resident G. c. Bonney had 10 step in a.
The upshot of the whole ,
flair is that Mrs. Sewall, while declin-
ng TO talk TO reporters on the subject,
animated that she had issued no such /
rider. Mrs. Henrotin, the Vice Presi-
ent, wrote a letter to Mrs. Cougar, saw
~ she knew nothing OF such order, and /
resident Bonney poured oil on the +
roubied waters so that all was serene z
gain.
