A Slim Sunday Attendance.

CHICAGO, June 25.-The radical
Sunday openers must have been
grievously disappointed at the small
number of people who visited the
Worlds Fair to-day. The total ad-
missions, free and paid, were scarcely
40 900 and the winding paths and
broad thoroughfares OF the White
City had a deserted appearance.
There was little music to speak OF
and the whole aspect. OF the
Fair was calm, peaceful and
Sabbathlike as Il New England coun-
try village. Even Midway Plaisanee,
which usually thrives i'll the very
worst of times, was dull.
The attendance at the religious
exercises in Festival Hall was not as
large as the Worlds Fair officials
hoped it would be, not over half ol
| the seats being occupied. Only a lit
tie over 5000 persons heard Rev.Dr
Thomas preach.

starts at the Auditorium and runs
right into the grounds.
There is as much difference oi
opinion about the art exhibits as
there is about the pardoning of the
anarchiste. Some think it horrid
while others think this part OF the
Fair the most perfect. Those who
think the display "vulgar" appear
to stay as long and do talk more
about it than the rest. Art is never
vulgar, but the vulgar is not always
art. The writer is not an art critic
and would not like to pass on the
matter.

DR., Briggs Preached.

AsBURY PARK, N. j., June %
Five thousand people assembled in
the auditorium this evening to hear
an address by Charles A. Briggs.
His subject was Church Unity" :"
In opening his address he said that
there may be people who asked by
what right he preached the gospel.
To all such he would say that every
Christian had the right to preach
the gospel of God and that he would
do so as long as he had the power
and strength.
''To dispel any doubts or COM
ments," said the Professor, 81 will
call my discourse a lecture. " He
made no further reference to his
recent troubles. He spoke for some
time upon the unity of the church
and prophesied that all the churches
and creeds would eventually be
united.

look for hard times. There are a
great many poor people here-the
poorest of the poor. God pity them,

Meaning OF Leo's Letter.


There is but one construction of
the Pope's letter upon the public
schools of America. 1t is that the
church of which he is the supreme
head finds no antagonism in the
public school system, and will
encourage generous support by
Catholics except when the method
or substance of the teaching has a
religious bias against what the
churrh has established for itself as
sacredly true. Leo has accepted
the democracy of his age, and
deeply respects the institutions
through which the masses of mankind
reach freedom and enlightenment.
Americans of all denominations
will view with agreeable sensation
this evidence of the Pope's liberal
conception of the relations between
the Catholic church and th e institu-
tions of free government.

warning, carrying down with it 100

Twenty-seven persons were res
cued, being taken out on the west

Elsie Caldwell, of Kincade, Kas.

The entire fire department and

debris.

occupied by stores, many of which
were filled with customers.

SECRETARY OF STATE LESUEURS
OPINION ON INSURANCE
COMPANIES.
Gov. AItgeld Sets the Anarchists Free
-Sedalians Searching for
Gold - The Fairs
Great Victory.

JEFFERSON CITY, Mo-, June 26. u
Secretary of State Lesueur to-day
rendered an opinion upon Il question
which has been much mooted in this
state, and which put in brief is as
follows: Have boards of insurance
underwriters a legal and valid right
to meet, organize and fix rates OF in
surance arbitrarily?
The special case upon which his
opinion is given arose at Higgins
vile, where an insurance agent. or
underwater, by name OF E. &. Bry-
ant, refused to join the board OF I'M
derwriters, despite the request OF his
companions that he should do so.
AS a last resort, he has written to the
Secretary of State, setting forth the
facts at length, stating that he had
refused to join the board, land alleging
that the underwriters by so organiz-
ing and fixing too high prices OF in
surance injure the business, prevent
property holders from taking out
policies, etc., and he asks what can
be done in the premises, presuppos-
ing that the Secretary of State would
have the power to sit at once as
Judge, jury and advocate, assess
Judgment and stop the companies
guilty of collusion from doing busi-
ness in the state.
To this Secretary Lesueur replied,
in effect, that in his official capacity
he could do nothing, for the various
companies do not violate their char
ters or charter privileges, but that
boards of underwriters, by fixing in
surance rates arbitrarily, and the
several companies by mutually
agreeing to abide by such arbitrary
rates and rules, become under the
law of the state, a trust of combine:
which may be proceeded against by
prosecuting attorney of the county
| The opinion of the secretary OF
state is principally valuable be
cause he defines his own power anc
authority, and points out the law
as stated above. He prepared the
opinion in order to answer at once
and for all time those numerou:
persons who from time to time cal
his attention to combinations o
the underwriters and to point ou
to those who feel themselves aggriev
ed the legal remedy.

for alleged completely in the Hay

the ground that these men did not

of the Curcuit Court of Appeals

Fair on Sunday, with the single
exception that no more money
ought to be paid to the Illinois
corporation known as the Worlds
Columbian Exposition.
