The Sunday Closing Question.

CHICAGO, May 5.-Visitors at the
Worlds Fair marvel at the rapidity
with which the great enterprise Is car
ried forward Tasks that one would
imagine it would require months to
perform are finished in few days.
The agricultural building and that
devoted to the display Of horticulture
are so nearly finished that one can
scarcely see what remains to be done.
All the exhibits are on hand and very
few remain to be placed In position.
There appears to be countless acres OF
roses and countless variety OF them.
Their fragrance fills the air. These are
not all to be seen.
The centre OF the great dome that
rises full 200 feet towards the sky Is
miniature mountain covered with ferns
OF thousand varieties, and palms and
foliage plants from all over the tropical
world.
In the agricultural building the dis
play will cause even the Farmers
Alliance TO marvel. Here may be found
everything that is dear to the farmer
heart. 1t is monster county falr
made up of the first fruits of every
state in the union.
Away over beyond the Agricultural
building on rock-bound peninsula ex-
tending into the blue waters OF Lake
| Michigan Is a quaint, romantic looking
structure that will as much attention
and interest as any other structure on
the ground.
1t is reproduction Of the famous his
torical Abbey LaRibda. In this Inter
esting reproduction are stored hundreds
OF Columbian relics and what is claimed
TO be some of the dust of Columbus
body. Here, too, are kept a number OF
paintings, mosaics and relics loaned to
the Worlds Columbian Exposition by
Pope Leo NH.
The council Of administration to-day
took action on the matter Of restaurant
charges. 1t was determined TO stop
this sort of robbery at once. The coun-
ell after discussing the matter adopted
n resolution in which it declared that
IL was the unanimous sense OF the
council that all concesslonaires
enjoying restaurant privileges on the
grounds at jackson Park shall be re-
ouired to formulate full and complete
schedules of prices Immediately, and
submit the same to the Executive Com
mittee of the Worlds Columbian Expo
sition for approval, il being the deter
mipation of the Council that the
public patronizing the fair shall
not be- subjected to any extortion
or unjust demand, and it desires to
make it's purpose in this behalf clearly
understood at once, so that the offend
ing parties may be advertised In ad-
vance, that It will take II necessary the
most summary measures to guard the
public against all forms OF unjust I'm
position.
In view of the fact that so much com
plant has been made by the public on
account of the exorbitant restaurant
charges, Buffalo Bill has come out with
an announcement TO all comers that 10
relieve the pressure he will furnish
table d'hote dinner, including every
thing from soup to black coffee, and q
seat at his Wild West show, all for the
sum of one dollar in American coin.
The National Commission is deter
mined to thoroughly Investigate the
charges against Director Of Music
Thomas In regard to the alleged harp
boycott, and if they prove to be true,
liz is probable they will ask for his
resignation.

women of his religious faith. Aoou
