A Noted London Mission.

The other Sunday night at the Char.
rington mission, which is held in a long,
narrowroom, double galleried all around,
the coughing (from the fog) was more
like Fourth of July with conglomerate
firecrackers, church bells and cannonad-
ing than one would conceive as possible
issuing from merely human assembly.
just word about this Charrington
mission, which is feature of the east
end. Frederick Charrington belongs to
a wealthy family of brewers. About II
years ago he began to do sort of street
missionary work in East London, near
his fathers brewery. His father threat
ened to disinherit him, but finally left
him share, though not a full share, in
the business. Once, on being tainted
on the street with wearing the blue rib
bon-"What does it cost you to wear
that ribbon"-he was able to reply
"a hundred thousand dollars"
He sold out his interest in the brewery
to his brothers and built in Mile End
road, the prolongation of Whitechapel,
the Great Assembly hall, which had been
projected but never begun by Keith
Falconer. Every Sunday night 5000 or
more people gather at the evangelistic
service Of the mission, and its fellowship
society, with the constant religious, edu-
cational and entertainment work center
ing at the Great Assembly hall, makes it
a power for good in district which con-
tains number of powers for evil.-Lon-
don Cor, Hartford Courant.

Remarkable Tenacity of Life,

The pious DIR. Shirley Palmer tells a
fish story that is calculated to make the
members of the st. Louis Hunting and
Fishing association Ito use strictly
original expression) ''turn green with
envy" By some hook or. crook-hook
no doubt-Mr, Palmer came into pos
. session Of a fine brace of tench. They
were lively pair of finny beauties when
the doctor took them home with the idea
Of slaughtering them for his Sunday din
ner. Placing them in pail of water, he
put them into the larder and thought no
more about the matter. That night at
midnight he was aroused, SO he SAYS, by
groan proceeding from the aforesaid
larder. Inspection of the room explained
the mystery.
One of the fish had sprung from the
basin or pail and lay gasping upon the
floor, every now and then utterine
sounds similar to those which had dis
turbed Mr.. Palmer. Next day both FISH
were prepared for dinner, but such was
their tenacity of life that both, after hav-
Ing undergone the process Of scaling and
evisceration, sprang from the pan and
wriggled about on the floor as though
they had but recently been removed from
their native element.
This is told as scientific fact. not "a

Worst Possible.
Directors Decide to Open Not Only
Grounds But Buildings on

WORLDS FAIR GROUNDS. May H.
While the weather may be monot.
onous subject to read and talk about, il
Is nevertheless becoming serious mat.
ter to thousands of people who are
financially and otherwise interested in
the Columbian exposition. Since the
time usually set for the breaking Of
winters backbone there have not been
dozen seasonable pleasant days for
the fair. The elements have put
stumbling blocks in the way of its COM
pletion in the last three months, and
since the opening there have only been
two or three warm pleasant days such
rs visitors coming from all parts
Of the world expect in order
to enjoy their outdoor viewing
Of the exposition. This is the sixteenth
day, and more bleak, disagreeable dose
of weather would be hard to find any
where in this country at this season of
the year. The attendance in the morn
ing was lighter than it has been for
many days, and the exposition people
are discouraged accordingly.
Average Attendance Only 1900.
The average paid attendance so far
has not been much over 1900 daily,
which is far below the number neces-
sary to meet the operating expenses of
the exposition, to say nothing of the
millions of half dollars needed to repay
the bondholders and stockholders of the
great enterprise. Outdoor work in the
Midway Plaisance and other parts of
the exposition is also being retarded by
the cold.
Changes In Rules.
The live stock department of the ex-
position has made the following impor-
tant changes in the rules governing ell

For the exhibit of cattle and horses, be-
ginning August 81, holding 80 days, the
entries will close July 10 instead of

swine, beginning September %, holding
20 days, the entries will close August
instead of July /. For the exhibit of
fat stock and poultry, beginning Oc-
tober 16, holding IL days, the entries
will close August 10 insteado of August l.

been modified to require exhibitors to
have been owners of animals 80 DAYS

Chauncey Not Prepared to Discuss the
Matter-Swayne's Views.


NEW YORK, March 2I-The officials OF
the railroads were as much puzzad as the
men yesterday over the situation at Toledo
and the action of Judge Kicks in prohibit
ing men from refusing to handle boycotted
freight. President Chauncey NJ. Depew,
of the New York Central, said: Seriously
/ think the decision a most surprising one,
but l could not discuss it without getting
the full text of the decision and studying
it. There are many things in the law
which are largely decided by precedents.
No one knows exactly in how many ways
the law can be interpreted until certain
exigencies arise. As to discussing the de-
cision pro or con am not prepared to do it. y
Not to Be Passed on Hastily
According to Wager Swayne, railroad
and corporation lawyer, Judge Kicks de-
cision is too important and too novel to be
passed upon hastily by lawyer. He says:
1T has been the rule of equity to grant or
ders for injunctions prohibiting individ-
uals and corporations from doing certain
things that would cause irreparable
injury. But that is very different
from commanding n man to do a
thing. Individual fl eedom is the basis of
what IS most valuable in our national ex-
istence. There may be some difficulty in
sustaining Judge Kicks decision on con-
stitutional grounds, for it might be held
that to prevent engineers from quitting
work without giving notice would be COM
peliing them TO remain in involuntary
servitude, which would of course be IN
