THE PILGRIMAGE r.
Wells OF That City Arc AInon.: Ia.
cipat Sou=css or Cholera.

Cipht SouscsB OF Cholera.
Apropos OF a dispatch from Tunis
which says that out of q body Of nine
thousand pilgrims who visited Mecca
onc-half died Of cholera. and that of thu
seven hundred Turkish soldiers sent
after the pilgrims to bury the dead md
help the living five hundred persisted,
the New York Herald gives some ac-
count Of tho sacred city ana the
sacred professions. It is estimat-
ed that the pilgrims annually
lumber from fifty TO seventy thousand.
They come from all parts of tho
M~ohamnicdan world, tor every Mos
lem Is bound under certain conditions
to pay ut lcnst one visit to the holy
city. Mecca, rs Is well-lSnown, lies
in the heart of n mass of rough
hills. intcrsccted by narrow valleys.
Its regular population Is supposed to
be o fifty thousand, but the CITY
always contains many more persons.
for before the pilgrims to one festival
have left those to another begin to mr.
rive. The streets are fairly spacious,
but very poorly kept. There is q
good supply Of pure water, brought
by an underground conduit, but
this Is furnished freely only to
t~ownspeoplc, the pilgrims having
10 pay for it. AS q result tho
latter patronizc the wells which
are supposed to be principal sources of
cholera. One OF these Is the we'll OF
Zcmzcln, which is the hottest place in
the city after the Kaaba, or temple.
According 10 Mohamrlcdan tradition
this we'll is the source from which Ia
ger drew water for her son Ishmael.
1t is now inclosed in n massive vauItcd
building, paved with marble. The
water is eagerly drank by the pill
Grims, poured over the body to give
miraculous rcfrcshment, md carried
away in jars. AS though the water
and Ii city's filth were o sufficient
aus for cholera, the sacrihcinl
slaughter of thousands of animals,
whose carcasses arc left for the sun to
net upon. complete the work of germ
propagation.
The caravans approaching and leav-
ing Mecca are picturesque sights. The
members are full of faith in Allah, and
i, proud Of having attended the great
festival. In the midst OF the process
sion n guard OF honor escorts the pyr-
amidal wooden structure which, under
n gorgeous canopy and borne by n
camel, contained on the outward Jour
ney the sacred carpet which is left In
the knaba, Mccca's holicst of holies.
On the return journey the great casket
IL empty, but eve then It remains an
object OF generation, and a military
guard OF honor accompanies it.

CHICAGO, May ~. - Showery weather
yesterday initiated against attendance
az the Worlds fair. The skies wore a
lowering aspect. From dawn until about
O'Clock copious showers fell, having the
effect OF keeping people AZ home and driv-
ing visitors of the broad walks and drives.
Architectural beauty seemed 70 have sud
denly lost their attractions for admiring
eyes, and the exhibits, safe and dry be.
meath the roofs, received the undivided at
tention OF the visitors
Midway plaisance suffered principally

Sunday Opening Agitation.
The fair will probably again be closed on
Sunday. President HiRginbotham says
so, and he is In excellent position to know.
He Is not certain about 1t, but he has very
few doubts, The directory will wrestle
with the subject, and 1t Is not at all i'm
probable, many think, that IL will repeal
the Sunday closing rule, which Is at pres
ent operative, and pass rule providiLg y
for Sunday opening. But, unless the COM
missioners pass upon the rule, President
Higginbotham will hardly give the order

The JUDICIARY BILL.

The passing of the judiciary bill
through the House yesterday was a dis
grace to any legislative body and an out
rage Of common decency In a supposed
civilized community such as this. The
bill is one that nobody wants; that every
lawyer condemns; that will be an annoy
snce to the court and everyone else con-
nected with It; and is reckoned as 30
much useless truck by all except the oom-
mission by which 1t was proposed. When
there was 30 much opposition to it from
every hand why is II that that whipper-
snapper policitian from East Providence
was so bound on pushing 1t through the
Assembly at any costf II we are to have
our court practice changed, why not have
1t changed 30 as to remedy some OF our
present defects instead OF adding to the
number by bill like thisf The faults In
this bill are legion and changes the prac-
tice In such a way that 1T will take the
ordinary lawyer a lifetime to find out
what 1t means. And yet a layman-one
who knows knothing about the COURTS
allowed to champion the cause, force out
all amendments, whether good or bad,
and push 1t through at somebody's dicta-
tion.
But bad as the bill is, 1t isn't near as
bad as the way 1t was pushed through. 1t
was crime against decency and all par
liamentary procedure and will only rest
on the heads OF those guilty OF the out
rage.
