Interesting Exercises.

The sabbath school children of this
place belonging to Protestant families,
had pleasant tiine of it last Sunday
at the NJ. E. Church. The weather
was delightful and the attendance
large. It had been set apart by the
Conference as the children's day, and
will be repeated annually.
The exercises had been appropriately
arranged, and nothing was lacking to
bnder them edifying, instructive and
Encouraging. The little folks were
kbyful, and performed their assigned
Mart with much credit We do not
Rink it were right to make special
Mention where everyone did so well.
We are pleased to see this mode OF
EAculcating Christian lessons taken
eom the Scriptures and made impress
Eve on youthful minds. We know
Som experience the truth OF what
aPope says in hiso admirable essay
11ap 1ap mau-
sS,'.As the twig is bent the trees inclined"
What is most to be admired 10 these
celebrations, outside of the scriptural
teachings, is the fact that, nothing
sectarian ia permitted in them. The
children of any Christian denomination
can attend without fear of interference
with the sectariaD teachings of the9r
families.

Worlds Fair.
The Gates Will Probably Remain Closed
on Sundays.

Chicago, May 23-At present it does
not appear at all probable that the
Worlds Fair will be opened to the
public on Sundays. For weeks the
matter has been discussed by the local
directory and national commission, in
public and in committee room, and at
informal. conferences. Last week the
local directory adopted resolution to
revoke the rule forbidding the gates to
be opened on Sunday, and sent the re-
solution to the national commission for
its concurrence. The resolution was
referred to the Judiciary committee of
the commission and after a weeks
struggle the committee brought in two
reports, one the minority. favoring the
concurrence of the commission in the
resolution aud the other the majority,
opposing such action.
The reports were taken up for con
sideration by the commission this morn
ing. A motion was made to substitute
the minority for the majority report,
and on this motion the commission de-
bated all day long. Late this after
noon the matter came to vote and
the motion prevailed by vote of 80
yeas to q nays. Then the motion to
adopt the minority report was put and
lost and the commission refused to COR.
cur in the resolution to revoke the rule
forbidding the opening of the gates eff
the Fair OH Sundays. The advocates
of an open Fair on Sunday say they
are not discouraged. but what action
they will take to accomplish their de-
sire is uncertain.

Below we publish the resolutions
adopted by the State Press Association
at its recent meeting in Natchitoches,
regarding the State Normal College:
Resolved, That the most conspicuous
feature connected with our visit to Natchi"
toohes and our association with its people and
aquaintance with its enterprises and instltu-
tions has been the wonderful disclosures IN
relation to the great State Normal College To-
Gated here. We have made a careful and
thorough examination of it's opportunities,
the grand results it is accomplishing, and its
pressing needs. We ascertain, with great
pleasure and satisfaction, that it is the es-
pecial pride and favorite of every citizen of
Natchitoches and surrounding country, one OF
the first and most important elements of sue
cess. We find it presided over by Christion
gentleman and scholar who maintains with
ability and dignity thoroughly modern and a.-
proved methods of instruction, and most ait
mirable and perfect discipline in every de.
tail of it's management in the classroom and
dormitory, and during the hours of recreation.
We find him assisted by corps Of skilled
and accomplished ladies and gentlemen sin
every branch and department. Indeed, we
fiud it operating with as much smoothness, as
little friction and as much satisfaction as any
other State institution.
We find, fnrther, that its boarding depart
ment, the perennial source OF anguish and dis
tress in all similar colleges, under the man
agement of Mrs. A. E. Donaho, its matron, Ia
conducted with marked skill, performing as
she does, the almost impossible feat of giving
thorough satisfaction to a boarding school.
We recognize In it no local institution, but II
great State college, in which our people are
all alike interested and to which they should
pledge their unqualified favor and support;
Resolved, That upon single point we find
just cause for serious complaint, and that is
in no wise connected with its management or
those connected with it. During the session
of 1893 every possible available space has been
occupied, and indeed the institution has been
crowded to it's fullest limit by pupils from all
sections of the State; more still, we find the
dormitories ill suited for the habitation of the
girls of our State and totally inadequate and
insufficient for the required purposes, 1t is
scarcely less than disgrace to our State that
better provision has not already been made
Resolved further. That we pledge our
selves to use every effort to secure such State
appropriations as will enable it to continue to
grow and enlarge in its numbers and its capa
city for efficient work. believing, as we do
that no expenditure of public funds can be
more wisely or proftably made"

The weather has been beautifully,
bright and lovely during the week Juss
ending, but little too cool OF early
mornings, for the young cotton.
The planters have not been idle.
Corn ID very fine everywhere and very
generally Id good condition.
The grass has kept the young cotton
back some little, but the laborers are
putting in good work for the relief
of tshs last mentioned, and if they be
favored with another week of sunshine,
the crop will be put in fine growing
condition. The planters are hopeful
of COED yields.
