EULALIE MADEA SPEECH.
1t was Short and the Treasury Women
Called 1t Sweet.

WASHINGTON, MAY 23.-The Infanta
Eulalie made a speech yesterday. 1t was
short and, to the mind of the women
whom she addressed, sweet. The Infan-
ia was being shown the money in the
treasury vaults, and apparently about
all the 5000 women employed there were
following her about the great depart
ment building eager to get a glimse of
the nations guest. After the princess
had entered the vault, as many of the
women as could get to the front pressed
against the grated door and watched ev-
cry movement of Her Royal Highness.
1t was the Infanta's first experience with
a crowd of American women, and she
enjoyed it. A look of surprise passed
over her facessat first, and then, impul-
siveiy, she walked over, to the grating,
and, nodding her head briskly, and with
her face wreathed in smiles, talked
briskly in English.
"How do you do9n she said. s'You
are very, very good. l thank you SO
much. 1t is good to be here, for you
are very kind. 1 like America. I like
the American people. | like you all.

door and talked with the people there,
| while chorus of ooh, isn't she lovely?
Isn't she sweet?' went up from the re-
cipients of her pleasant little remarks.
| After the Infanta had seen all that was
to be seen she came out into the corridor
again on the way to her carriage, leaning
on the arm of Secretary Carlisle. The
crowd, grown larger by half, pressed
| closely about her and made it difficult
for Secretary Carlisle's big messenger
Richard Green, to make aVpassageway.
'Good bye, good bye," cried the In
fanta, waving her hand to the women as
she passed through their ranks. "Good
bye, thank you," she cried again, smiling
| while even the stern face of Mr.. Carlisle
relaxed. The Prince and the others in
the party were laughing heartily, and as
| they entered the carriages they caught
| the echoes of more fattering remarks
about the beauty and graciousness of the
| Princess.
The dinner given tonight by Mr.. and
and Mrs. Cleveland to the Infanta Eula
lie was made the occasion of much dig
nifty. The dinner took place in The
large state dining room and the entire
lower floor of the mansion was decorated

GATES WILL OPEN SUNDAY.
In the iOpinion ::of, the National Commis

Curiously.

Curiously.
CHICAGO, May 23.-Owing to the dis
agreeable weather there was small at
tendance at the Wold's Fair today. The
national commission today took up the
reports of the judiciary committee on
the Sunday opening question. The
minority report favored concurrence in
the resolution adopted by the local direc-
tors revoking the rule forbidding thegates
to be opened on Sunday. The majority
report opposed such action. A motion
was made to substitute the minority for
the majority report and on this motion
the commission debated all day. Com
missioner st. Clair submitted a modifica-
ton of the Sunday opening rule pro-
posed by the directory and obtained
unanimous consent to have it received as
part of the Judiciary minority report.
The modification was an invitation to all
sects and creeds to hold religious ex-
ercises in the halls of the exposition
Sundays. A vote was taken and thirty
commissioners voted for substituting the
minority report and 81 against, The
vote was then taken on the question of
modifying the new rule submitted by the
directors relating to religious services as
proposed by the minority of the judi
ciary committee. Twenty-nine voted to
adopt the modification and IS against.
Vice President Young ruled that as So
members, a majority of the commission,
had notvoted to modify it, the new rule as
submitted by the directory must stand.
This decision raised a storm of protest
from the opponents of a Sunday fair and
the acting president was CON
vinced that he had gone too far
in deciding that the new rule
must stand. His decision as. placed
on the record with the approval of the
Sunday openers was restricted to a mere
statement that the commission had
failed to modify the rule by majority
vote. This leaves the matter in the
hands of the directory, and the general
opinion among the commission is that
the gates of the Fair will be opened Sun
day unless the judicial authorities en-
join the local board.
Germany's building at the Exposition
was opened today.

CHR1sTIANIA, May 23.-Another and
more serious landslide has occurred at
Vaerdelen, Norway, just north of Trond-
hiem, where a number of farms were
recently buried under an avalanche of
slime. An extent of land, five kilome-
tres by ten, in the Levanger valley, be-
came dislodged and slid down on the
soil below, destroying % homesteads and
so cottages. A vast area is flooded, and
many persons are missing, and it is
feared they have perished. The missing
include Tessam, president of the district
and his family, Road Inspector Rostad
and his family, and about 100 others.
Residents of the vicinity are taking to
flight, in expectation that there may be
a recurrence of the calamity. The gov
ernment has sent 400 soldiers to the To-
cality to assist in the work of rescue and
to preserve order.

Travel In tho East

How wonderful and ever present is
the contrast in eastern travel to all life
and movement at home. No heavy carts
and numbering wagons jolt to and fro
between the farmyard and the fields.
No light vehicles and swift equipages
dash past on macadamized roads. Alas!
there are no roads-and if no roads, how
much less any vehicles or wagons.
Thatched roofs and tiled cottages, lanes
and hedgerows and trim fields, rivers
coursing between full banks, beyond all
the roar and sudden smoky rush of the
train-these might not exist in the world
at all, and do not exist in the world of
the Persian, straitened and stunted, but
inexpressibly tranquil in his existence.
Here all is movement and hustle, hux
and speed; there everything is imper-
turbable, immemorial, immutable, SLOW

not do as well for her as she did for her

beautifully by herself on fifty or sixty
dollars month, with plenty of nice, SEN
sible clothes, n trip TO the theater every
now and then, and every summer, or
maybe every other summer, n nice little
jaunt away somewhere, to forget the
little unpleasantnesses of everyday Office
life And the way this money was TO go

The young man won't be likely to
have Il home of his own to take his win

means twenty dollars sure, and maybe

scott Enjoyed Being Lionizcd.


Sir Walter Scott is an example of a
great man, who, so far as we can judge,
enjoyed paying the penalties of his
greatness, even in his hour of death. He
was great enough, but then he was that
kind of man. and the circumstances
among which he lived were favorable.
That was before the day of the penny
post, of the electric telegraph, of rail
ways and of the interviewer, and in his
prime he lived mt Abbotsford, which is
equivalent nowadays to saying that he
lived mt Joppa. He seems to have been
singularly free from the penalties of
greatness, which have enormously in
creased since the Wizard Of the North
went home, and such of them as came
in his way he seems to have heartily EN-
joyed.
He appears now and then to have
relished being turned into n rare show,
and 10 being pointed at wherever he
went as Walter Scott. Indeed this be-
ing pointed mt seems TO have been rel
ished by many men whose greatness was
undoubted. Thacleray seems some
times almost to have resented not being
pointed at.---All the Year Round.
