A MocKEsY OF CONSCIENCE.

Yet tho Fair directors will not escape criti-
cism if they open the NJ idway on Sunday,
for It is already argued that it will be like
mockery of conscience TO shut the world out
from a sight of the elevating exhibits in the
Fair on Sundays and VT permit them to
view the capers Of Oriental dancing girls in
the Plaisance.
What effect Sunday closing will have on
the financial results of the Fair is as yet
pr )blematical. 1t was believed that the
closing order would remove the conscen-
tious scruples against attending the Fair at
all if opened on Sunday, which tens of
thousands of people manifested, and thus
would operate to the Fairs benefit SO far
there is no sign of that, though it may be
that as yet there has been no sufficient op-
por unity to see what the effect is to be.
The attendance at the Fair is very much
less than it ought to be. The best friends
OF the Exposition believe it wise to be per-
fcctly candid on that point, and to let patri-
otto people everywhere know that the Ia
tons credit is at stake, and that it is duty
TO attend this, the greatest exposition the
world has ever seen.

government reservation and every avail
able place Of shelter within ten miles of

might be obtained somewhere within n
reasonable distance were unable to secure

MILLvfLLE, N. j., April 1b-The mys-
terry surrounding the shooting of Thomas
Basnett and the burning of his house at

that he had fired the house and shot him
self. He said that the sudden death of
James p. Tjyner, his next door neighbor
and the only friend he had in the world,
had made him respondent. The first shot
did not have the desired effect, 30 he fired
another without fatal result. By that
time the flames from the burning build
ing had become SO warm that he crawled
out of Che house.
II acknowledges" said he to the officar,
that l have committed a crime against
God, and expect to be treated as an out
cast hereafter"

the fact that Dr. Lehman, the Philadel-
phia chemist. has stated that he found no
arsenic in Tryper's stomach, clears up a
mystery that has caused more excitement
