Great Religious Exhibition.

The only purely religious Exhibition
in the Worlds Fair City is the new and
beautiful Cyclorama of Jerusalem upon
the occasion of the crucifixtion of the
Saviour, on the corner of Wabash Ave.
and Hubbard Court. This is not the
same scene that was on exhibition there
few years ago, but a new and very elab
crate one, embodying many novel feat>
ures and effects. Indeed it is claimed to
be next to the great panaroma Of the
Chicago Fire. the most expensive work
of the kind in the world.
In connection with this supurb scene,
and without extra charge, is shown the
celebrated painting, "Christ Triumphal
Entry Into Jerusalem;n valued at $780,
O0O
To those wishing to get better idea
of Ancient Jerusalem and surrounding
country, the architecture, customs and
habits of the people of those days, to
gether with perhaps the finest modern
conception of the scene of the Crucifix-
ion, will here find abundant opportuni
ty for profitable entertainment, and the
Young men attending the Moody Bible
Institute are visiting this great Exhibit
ton from time to time, as a part OF thell
religious training.

A New Government Note.

WASHINGTON, July TIT transpired
this afternoon that Treasury officials
were working on a plan for the substtu.
ton of a new government note to take
the place of the four different kinds OF
notes which are now in circulation. The
plan, when completed, will be laid before
the Secretary and President. Whether
it will 60 further and be introduced in
Congress by some friends of the admin
istration cannot be said All that is now
known is that the plan is in process OF
completion. The notes now in clrcula-
ton are the gold notes, silver notes, the
United States notes, or greenbacks, and
the Treasury notes. There is great
deal of confusion over so many, and the
department. has long desired to do away
with them and substitute single note.

A Notable Gathering.

A letter from Westmoreland county,
Va, says: about the middle of this
month there will be gathering of two
old Virginia families in the State. The
occasion will be the cementing of ties
that will bind them in closer relation
than does the fact that the members of
them were prominent in all of the events
that go to make the early history OF the
State the most famous in the country.
The two families to be united are the
Wlrts and the Washingtons, the MEM
bers who will wed being Miss Agnes
Writ and Mr.. George Washington, OF
Caroline county The wedding will take
place at the magnificent estate of the
Wirts in Westmoreland county, and will
be celebrated in old st. Peters Church,
where Washington himself once wor-
SHIPPED. The gathering will be one OF
the most notable affairs of the summer"

of the peaceful Sabbath shone upon DIES.
olate thoroughfares, lonely Columbian
guards, and few inhabitants of Mid
way Plaisance, who had left that cos
mopolitan quarter early in the day to
view the big buildings in the park.
The Sunday closing order was rigidly
enforced, and any person who entered
the exposition grounds had to prove
that his presence there was absolutely
necessary.
All buildings were closed and the sign
"Closed To-day" placed on the doors of
a few of the State homes was entirely
unnecessary as there We're no persons in
the park who cared to do any visiting
or sightseeing. All the electric and
steam launches and gondolas were tied
up, no fountain Was playing, the thous-
ands of booths were barren of wares and
saleswomen, and altogether it was tie
most complete ''closed Sunday" the
Worlds Fair has known. Only two
gates were open and these were for pass
holders. Many of the caterers endeav
ored to avail themselves of the opportu-
tity to clean up their RESTRAINTS and
put everything in condition for the
crowds of the coming week, but the gate>
keepers were of the opinion that it was
not necessary to clean the eating places,
and with but one or two exceptions re-

There was no trouble of any kind from
persons wishing to enter the grounds
The nearest approach to disturbance
was at 8 CLOCK, when a drink>flushed in
dividual mounted box across the street
from the Fifty-seyenth street entrance
and called vociferously for 100 volun-
teers to aid him in tearing down a sec
ton of the fence in order to allow all
poor 1aboring men to see the fair fire. g.
A Hyde Park policeman stopped the ha-
rangue, however, and took the man
away in patrol wagon.
The crowds outside the gates along
Stony Island avenue were small during
the entire day, and the numersus side
shows did nothing.
The Injunction issued by Judge Stein,
of one of the State courts, restraining
the closing of the fair on Sunday is still
in force, and there is some talk of pro-
ceedings against the officials fer con

HER GOUD LUCK.
Mary E. Yardcnline Has Fallen Heir to a
California Fortune.

Mary f. L. Yardenline has a fortune
awaiting her at Los Angeles, Cal, that
will make her a rich woman.
the next thing Is TO find Mary T. L.
Yardenline.
The California people think she is living
in Wichita, and wrote to Chief Cone to
try and find her if possible. The letter
Came yesterday, too late for the chief to
search and the best thing he could do was
to turn it over to the EAGLE, in hopes that
Mrs. Yardeuline will ascertain her good
fortune at the breakfast table this morn
ing, if she is still living in Wichita.
The last thing heard of her was in 1876
and she was living here then. On Dec. 10
of that year, she appeared in the Probate
court, when W. c. Little was judge and
released her parentags OF her son, Will
iam APPLICABLE Mrs Yardenline WAS
first married to man named Apologize,
from whom she was divorced.
The letter was written by Orlando
Movers, but he does not say how much the
fortune amounts to. Neither does lie say
who has left it. If Mrs. Yardeuline is
dead. her relatives. if she has any, are re-
auested to communicate with the chief Of
police of this city.
