A Church Usher's Humor.

Even church usher can show keen
sense of humor in the pursuit of his du-
ties. Not Iona ago prominent young
business man of Rochester promised his
little daughter that she might have q
party on her birthday. The birthday
happened to come on the Sunday before
Easter, and the little girl came up to her
father the day before to remind him of
his promise. Her father told hor that of
course he could not let her have party
on Sunday, but that he would take her
to church instead AS the father him
self was little given to church going,
and the daughter had never been but
'once, the idea struck her as absolutely
unique and absolutely delightful, SO she
accepted the alternative eagerly ly-much
to her fathers regret.
They won't down to church together in
the morning-Mr Robinson and little
May-and by dint of careful examining
Of charts Mr.. r. located his pew. He
had hardly seated himself when up came
an usher with humorous twinkle in his
eye and wonder in his countenance at
the unexpected appearance of Mr.. R. at
church. Finn did the usher make straight
for, and leaning over he whispered In a
loud stage whisper:
II beg your pardon Mr.. Robinson, but
haven't you made amistake? Next Sun

Attorney-GeneraI Olney Says Sunday
Closing Goes.
WASHINGTON, May 20.--John Willis
Baer, secretary of the United Society of
Christian Endeavor, called on Attorney
General Olney today in regard to closing
the worlds fair on Sunday. Olney said
az the appropriation by the government
to the fair was on the condition that the
fair be closed on that day, it would
be the duty of the national commission
to see that this is carried out. Olney
added that two weeks ago he instructed
the district attorney at Chicago TO
secure an injunction, restraining the
management from opening the gates on
Sunday If necessary to keep them
closed.
Olney said further the government
exhibits would be closed on that day,
and that the national government would
see that the entire exposition would be
closed by applying TO the district court
ct Chicago for an injunction.
Baer suggested that this might result
in great delay in reaching a decision,
and that meantime the exposition would
be open and that the Chicago directory
was counting on just this. Olney said
he anticipated no unusual delay.

tinue to pour in on Secretary Carlisle

CHICAGO, May 20. A distressing acci-
Dent marked the closing day OF the
weeks eeries OF the women'e congresses
in the art institute building. There was
an attractive programme In Washington
hall, and great crowd OF women gath
cred at the entrance, struggling to get
in, when section Of the flooring 20 by
80 feet gave way, precipitating75 rs women
to the ground below, distance of II
feet, in struggling mass. The air was
at once filed with cries OF pain
and terror. Almost panic spread
to the large audience ahead
gathered in Washington hall. As-
sietance was procured as quickly as
possible, and the frightened and disa-
bed women extricated. When all we're
gotten out it WAS found that eight were
eerioualy though none fatally, hurt.
Many others we're more or less shaken
up, but not injured enough to require
assistance in leaving the building. 80
far az learned no prominent members OF
the organizations represented were hurt.
The injuries were mostly to women who
came as spectators, chiefly from this
city, and consisted OF dislocaton OF
joints and eprains, more painful than
dangerous.
Among the ladies injured is Mrs. M.
II. johnson OF San Francisco who had
her left leg bruised and suffered inter
nally injured.
The subject to be considered In Wash
ington hall which brought out euch
large gathering was dress reform, and
an address to be delivered by Alice Tim
minis Toomey of California on Ethics OF
Dress, and other prominent women OF
this and foreign countries.
Notwithstanding the accident, the
programme throughout all the sections
OF the congress was carried out as ar
ranged, the discussions ranging from
dress to sociology. When finally tbs
last section 81 the great congress ad-
journed, ,zine die, enthusiastic expres.
Hions Were heard on all sidss OF the sue
cessfoi the phenomenal gathering. To-
night an address eigned by many dele
gates was presented to May Wright
Sewall and Rachel Foster Avery, recit-
ing the appreciation of the great work
done by the two women In arranging
and carrying ON the congress.

rious accident yesterday that may cause

of workmsn. was unloading heavy iron
beam from q wagon. One end Of the
strinser had been raised and placed on
the hind wheel OF the wagon and he WAS
left to keep it In position while the

some unaccountable manner the for
ward portion OF the beam slipped on the

ground. 1t struck Rivera and scraped
him from the chest down to just above
the ankle, breaking the leg in five
places. The strihger was lifted off and
