Reports OF the Judiciary Committee
on Sunday Opening Not Acted On.

CHICAGO, May 22.-The Arabs and
Soudanese, imported from the great Sa-
harah to furnish attractions at the worlds
fair, must have felt at home today. The
wind blew gale from the southwest all
day and it was hot and dry. Every street
and winding pathway of the white city
was thoroughly sprinkled, making it
comfortable for visitors.

commission for the reception at the Ger
man government building in Jackson
park tomorrow afternoon commemorating
its completion are elaborate.
The dedication of the Maine building
will take place on May a. The national
commission received the minority and ma
ioritY reports of the Judiciary committee
on the Sunday opening resolution today,
but action was deferred until to-
morrow. Commissioners Massey, Humid
ley and Garvln for the majority
of the committee reported adversely to
the directory resolution to revoke the
rule closing the gates on Sundays. They
held that the souvenir coin act and the
Sunday civil law would not permit the
revoking OF the rule. Commissioners st.
Clair and Burton, for the minority, favored
the adoption of the directory resolution
and the opening of the fair on Sundays.
The matter will come up as special
order in the commission at 10 o'clock to-
morrow.
Mrs. Hsrt's Irish village which is to run
in opposition TO the one established by
Lady Aberdeen, in Midway Plaisgnce, is

Finnerty and other prominent Irish
Americans, drill by some Irish military
societies and general merry making.
The dahomey village at the fair was
formally opened today. The natives in
dulged in some wild dances to music that
was no less wild. They also engaged in
sham fights. in which wonderful skill in
the use of the spear and shield was shown.

tion and he believed he saw a way out of
the difficulty. He moved that copies of
the overtures be sent to the judicial COM
mittee tor their information. and that the
originals be sent to the committee on
church polity This did not meet with
the approval of either eide.
Elder Eudaly of Cincinnati could not
see why the assembly was called upon to
violate the law of the church because Il
had been intimated that some particular
case was TO come before the assembly for
trial. He had heard nothing of such q
case, cave in the way of rumors. The
overtures in question referred simply to a
change of church policy, and he could
see no reason why any exception should
be made in this case.
Dr. Booth from New York.
Everybody wanted avote on the amend
ment and when DR.. Charles II. Booth OF
New York arose and stepped to the front,
he was met with deafening demand for
the question. The distinguished divine
calmly waived aside the demonstration
and when 1t had quietsd down, shouted:
"If YOU were to call for the question for
an hour you could not put me down; /
am from New York"
Briefly then he stated that he was op-

After further discussion by Prot.
Brown of Union seminary and Elder
Cutchings of Detroit. the amendment was
lost, and the overtures were sent to the
committee on church polity by vote
that met with practically no opposition
from the Briggs men.
The Church and Sunday Closing.
AT the afternoon session the report of
the committee on Sabbath observance
coming up for consideration. President
Warfeld of Lafayette college proposed an
additional recommendation that the third
Sunday in June be set apart as a day
when sermons shall be preached in all
the churches and prayers be offered in
behalf of tho effort TO keep the gates of
the fair closed.
The Rev. McCauley OF Dayton offered
another addition, to-wit:
That Ia case the Sunday closing rule be
violated, the exhibit OF the presbyterian church
be removed.
The several recommendations, together
with those of Messrs. Warfield and Nc
Cauley were considered seriatim and
adopted.
In the progress of the discussion of the
report, the Rev. w. S. Jerome of Pontiac,
Mich, opposed the removal of the pres
byterian exhibit from the worlds fair
in case the Sunday closing law
Is violated. He opposed it Tor

and the incident ended for the time.
Missions Among Freedmen.
The Rev. George l.. Spinning of New
York read the report of the committee on
board of missions among tho freedmen.
The report showed that the receipts were

agency in the education of the coiored

with q view to increasing the amount TO

was asked to approve the boards request
for $3.50, 900 for the work; also to approve
measures to be taken for raising 100000

recommendations OF the committee were
adopted. An overture from the presbv-
terry of ST. CIairesville asking that the
board OF education lend money 10 candi-
dates who prefer to borrow rather than
accept gift, was reported to the assembly
by the committee with favorable recon-
mendEtion, the maximum amount 20 be

The Reformed Presbyterian synod.

NEW York, May 22.-The general synod
OF the Reformed presbyterian church re-
convened this morning. The committee
on federation before the delegates the
proposed scheme for federation with other
presbyterian sects, which il being very
generally considered by presbyterian
synods throughout the country. The pro-
posaI includes q general union for the pur-
pose Of mission work, each church retain
tion of federal council with equal repre-
sentation. Rober. Stevenson moved a
resolution making Ii incumbent for all
members OF the church who were repre-
sented by the synod TO withhold their
patronage from the worlds fair II opened
on Sunday. 1t was adopted. A strong
resolution was passed condemning the en-
forcement OF the Geary exclusion act.

changes in the standards OF the church.
lie therefore recommended that the
former recommendation OF the committee
be adhered 10 and the two oyertures sent
10 the committee on church policy.
Rev. Charles l.. Thompson OF New York
claimed the floor and stated with great
eArnestnsss of manner that a paper might
be designedfor G special committee, though
on its face it did not say SO. Two OF
the provisions of the overture from the
Chicago presbytery referred manilestIy to
the judicial case before the assembly. a
view In which he was sustained by two
members of the presbytery which brought
the oyertures to this houso. The inten-
tion of that presbytery was that ii should
bear upon the judicial case before tho
house.

took the ground that the assembly could
not afford to waste time putting an over
ture through circuitous route in order
10 carry out what presbyteFy might pos
sibly have intended, but which IL did not
represent In it's overture. IL was clear 20
him that the subject was a matter for the
committee on church polity alone. DIR.
Pu2h of Bloomington declared that the
assembly was not made up Of mind
readers and could not be expected TO read
what was going or in the minds OF the
Chicago presbytery when IL prepared its
overtures. The assembly, he said, was
bound by the terms of the instrument,
and he defied even a Philadelphia lawyer
to find in il one expression that would
properly send Ii to the judicial committee.
This statement was met with loud clap

GUSTAVS DREAM.

The sun was glimmering family through
the window, and with pale gold light
illuminating the room where little Gustav
sat with his tutor. The boys eyes wan
dered from his open book and gaZed visit
fully at the scene outside.
Little by little the last OF the winters

whiteness was gone already ii was no
longer crisp and hard; the big snowman.

he knew that perhaps nearly year must
pass before he could indulge in those
pleasures again.

he turned to his books again.
Gustav was the eldest son OF Count
Stemhold, and lived in a pretty chateau
In South Germany. This home had been
chosen for the sake OF the counts wife.
who was delicate and often i'll. and it
was feared that the cold climate of the
north would kill her.
Gustav should have been the happiest
and most contented of boys. He could
wander as he liked about the beautiful
grounds, or ride on his pony along the
delightful lanes, or amuse himself with n
roomful of toys, or listen 10 the tutors
strange and pleasant stories. Only that
morning the tutor had told him OF far
away lands where the snow was always
on the ground, where immense icebergs
sailed grandly on the sea, and where a
few people dwelt who scarcely ever saw
the sun, and who knew nothing Of the
season Of brightness and flowers. And
Gustav had said:
81 should like to go there"
1t was no good to so on with the lessons
that morning. Gustav could not under
stand a word in his books, and he paid
no heed 10 the teachers instruction.
He looked at the melting snow and no
ticed how quickly it was vanishing; then
he said again:
How l Wish II was always winterl
Oh, II 1 could only go away to the land
OF snow,"
When the lesson was over he walked
away disconsolate. He could not go out,
for all the garden walks were changed
to little water streams, so he roamed
from room TO ROOM and all the time his

petual snow and ice.
There was one room into which he had
only peeped once. II was his fathers.

other weapons of war and sport. With a
little culver Of dread Gustav began 10 go

moments. uncertain whether TO proceed
or return. Then he made up his mind to
