Judge Goggin's Extraordinary Sunday
Closing Decision.

Judge Goggin's Extraordinary Sunday
Closing Decision.
CHICAGO, Sept. 1.-Soandal was piled
on scandal today in the litigation over
the worlds fair Sunday closing. Judge
Goggin told his side of the story at
length, and tonight it is difficult to see
what further can develop that would
give the matter a more extraordinary
phase. Judge Goggin makes remarka.
BILE explanation Of his unprecedented
decision in favor of Sunday opening. He
said in part. ''It is judges duty to
decide csse without reference to what
either the German or American, Scan
dinavian or Irish papers think OF it, but
simply as to where right and justice
lie. was within my rights when
kicked Judge Brentano off the bench
with me. Judge Dunno dissented
from me, and / respected his dissent,
but Judge Brentsno, after agreeing with
me on the proposition OF law, shifted his
vote because a German newspaper fa-
vored closing the fair Sunday. To say
this made me mad is to express my feel
ings but feebly. 80 did what did,"
Ex-Congressman William E. Mason,
who. as attorney, represented the Sun
day closing side of the case, said Judge
Goggin's judgment was approved by the
United States supreme court when 1t
decided in the lake front case that the
legislature could not part with title to
public lands. Judge Goggin called in
the other two judges for consultation
and excused them when be had no further
use for them, which he had perfect
right to do.

capitol. In the absence of the governor,
Prof. Pierce OF the Chico Normal school
presided. State Printer johnston re-
ported that he had completed and had
ready for sale 5000 copies Of the ad-
vanced geography, and that he was
completing them at the rate OF 1000 per
day, at which rate he thought the state
would be able to fill all orders.
Mir. Johnston also submitted copies
of the geography, with statement Of
the cost OF the edition of $4,000 copies.
The estimate of the total cost he gives
at 60,020.70. The editor-in-chief re-
ported that &c, 900 copies of the geography
would be the annual supply needed. He
figures the cost OF the geography at 81
cents for each copy in Sacramento and
the cost of mailing IL cents.
The editor further reported that read
ing lessons estimated to cover the first
years work have been prepared and
were in type. The preparation OF les
sons for the second course in reading is
about half completed. The editor re-
commends that the lessons for the first
and second years constitute the first and
second reader of the new series, and that
the course for the third and fourth years
be comprised in the third reader.
After consultation with the board, the
editor wrote some time ago to various
persons In the east asking whether any
one OF them would undertake the writ
ing of school history Of the United
States. to take the place of the one now
in use. A favorable reply was received
from Mrs. Marie L. Pratt of Maiden,
Mass, who expressed her willingness to
undertake the writing.
The committee to whom was re-
ferred the matter OF reporting state
ment of account with the state school
board of publications from their incep-
tion to July /, 1898, reported that 1t was
impracticable at that date to take an
inventory of all the property necessary
to be inventoried, and a statement
is therefore made, closing with Sep
tember 1st, and the completion OF the
advanced geography. The amount ex-
pended for all purposes ia $S23. .690.74.
