Uncle Moses Pos.um Prayer.

Great CONSERVATION followed by wild
laughter. was an innovation Of the chapel
exercises at the penitentiary not long
ago. II was occasioned by possum
prayer from old Nose Allen. South

dreaming of Thanksgiving day. Chap
lain Dudley opened the prayer meeting
as usual, and prisoners followed briefly.
When all heads were bowed in reverence
old Nose jumped at the opportunity and
delivered the following prayer:

WILL OPEN ON SUNDAY.
District Attorney MiIchrist Files Bill
for an Injunction.
Action Will Not Be Taken Until Next
Week, Hence the Grounds VIII
Be Open Today.

CHICAGO, May 27.-The expected bill
for an Injunction to prevent the Sunday
opening OF the Worlds fair today by
United States District Attorney Milchrist
was filed in the federal circuit court
today. The district attorney does not ask
for temporary injunction and as the argu-
ments will not be heard till next week
there is nothing in the action to prevent
the proposed opening of the gates tomor-
row. The district attorney preferred to
await the arrival of Chief Justice Fuller
before bringing the case to an actual
hearing.
Before fling the bill there was a brief
consultation between Mr.. Milchrist and
Edwin Walker, attorney for the exposi-
ton. They then went before Judges
Jenkins and Groscup, and the hearing
was set down for Wednesday in order
that the chief justice might sit with them.
The bill was then taken to the clerk 8
office. The entire proceedings took but
few minutes and a mere handful were
present when the matter was disposed of
The bill declares that when the fair was
dedicated it was turned over to the ma
tional commission for the United States /;
that the act appropria5ing money for the
fair provided that IL should not be opened
on Sundays; that the national commits
sion has power to modify the rules pro
mulgated by the local directory; that the
Sunday rule adopted by the directory
last October after accepting a donation
from the government was modified by the
national commission so far as to provide
for the closing of the gates on Sunday.
This rule, the bill claims, is still in force
and neither the commission nor the d.
rectory nor both together have the power
to change it.
