Rule to Close the Worlds Fair on
Sunday Enforced.
A Comparison Between the Paris and
Columbian Exposition,

The Worlds Fair was closed Sunday
President Higginbotham announced the fact
Saturday afternoon. He said, however, thai
1t would be closed in the exact sense OF the
term and that no one, whether he be Com
missioner or Director, would be admitted I'M
less he had genuine business to transact. The
only ones who would be admitted would be
the few guards and other employees whose
presence is necessary for the welfare OF the
Exposition.
President Higginbotham added; 81 trust
that this will be received in the right spirit
The Fair will be closed and no one. even il
he holds pass with coupon for Sunday oil
wears a Directors or commissioners badge
will be permitted to come inside OF the gates
Not even the members of the press will be
admitted"

First Week Of the Fair.

The first week OF the Fair closed with a
continuation of the cold and windy weather,
although the rain that has fallen during Elk
position hours has not been sufficient to in
terfere with the visitors enjoyment OF the
buildings and exhibits. The main avenues
and promenades are in excellent condition,
and with rise in the temperature the Fair
will be fairly launched on the wave OF sue
cess. The attendance during the week out
side OF the opening day has been as large az
the Exposition officials hoped for considering
the uainviting weather, and II the operating
expenses are not balanced by the receipts
they will not complain.
The end of the week will probably see the
last car OF exhibits received in the grounds,
although ii is not expected the installation
and work on some foreign and State build
ings will be finished within the next two
weeks. Electricity. Mines, Fisheries, Manu-
facsurers and Agriculture buildings are fall
of busy workmen erecting pavilions and in
stalliug exhibits but the miniag and manu-
featuring exhibits will all be in place next
week, and the presen. ssa.e OF installation In
those buildings satisfies the most expeetsni
and exacting visitor He gets far more FOL
his money than he exper.ed.
4 The Fine Arts Building and its contents
promise to be- the gem Of the Exposition. both
from the architectural and art standpoint
The salons so far opened to the pubic are
filed all day with lovers OF paintings ana
sculpture The American who cannot anord
10 Wis London or Paris will never again
have the opportunity which is presented al
the Exposition OF seeing such perfect and
large exhibition OF the fine arts, representa-
tive OF all schools and all nations who Know
what ant Is.

Twelve years ago electricity, ~ ap-l
piled to street ears for power pnr-
poses Of all kinds, for house and street
Illumination, was 8 new thing. In;
fact, electric street railroads have only
been in successful operation about
half that time. The electrical age was!
practically just commencing and the
aggregate capital invested, outside Of
telegrsphy, was small Now, almost
any town Of any size has its electric
railroad, streets everywhere are being

young Theodore Seligman, son Of
the well known New z ork banker
for membership, has received and
Justly Sc, the severe criticism of the
entire Southern press.
The club admitted that there was
not single charge to be- brought
against the young man personally,
and he was rejected, and this humil
alton heaped upon him, for no. other
reason than that he is al Israeli tie.
Such spirit of religious intoler-
ance as displayed by the millionaire
scions of New York's sself-constk u
ted judges of social status, deserves
the censure of every honest Ameri-
can citizen. 8
|. will be. remembered this club is
composed Of the most wealthy and
influential Republicans in the coun-
try. Thevery ones who raise tn cir
hands highest in holy horror, and
vita loqdest voices cry out against
a Southern Democrat shogld he dare
refuse the social eqaallity Of bis pri-

We confidently expect our Israeli
