Chicago, March 22.-Judge Chetlain
In special session of court tonight,
postponed the execution of Prender-
CAST. the assassin of Mayor Harrison,
for two weeks, fixing the date at
April 6.
The hearing before Judge Baker com,
menced in the afternoon and contln'
ued until tonight when. in the alb
sence of Judge Baker, Judge Chetlain
heard the arguments
1t was nearly 1890 before the at
torneys concluded the opening speeches
and Judge Chetlain decided that he
could rightfully take the case up. He
then announced his decision extending
the time of the execution of the SEN
tence two weeks and setting the com
mencement OF the trial of the question
as to the prisoners sanity for Sat,r'
day morning at ten O'Clock
The judge said in his opening
1T is now neatly midnight and 1t Is
apparent to counsel on both sides that
the trial could not be concluded before
the time appointed for the execution
Tic COURT bc lelt po"SiASSS W
prolong the time of execution of the
sentence? From the authorities, | am
satisfied that the court has an inherent
power in the matter. Good cause has
been shown why the time Of execution
should be prolonged. Two witnesses
say this man has become insane since
Judgment was passed upon him. The
question ought to be submitted to the
jury and an investigation made quietly
1t would be inconsistent with human
ity and justice to compel a trial at mid
night. For the foregoing reasons the
court will prolong the execution OF
Prendergast."

and by his remarks he added an ele

Prendergast shall hang today or not
He would not say what he would dc

orders OF Judge Chetlain If his Legal
adviser instructed him that such would
be the proper course to pursue.

SACRED MONKEY TEMPLE.
An Edifce Where Long-Tailed Quadru-
peds Live Free From Interference.

Among the thousand or more temples
and shrines with which the holy Hin
doc city of Benares Is endowed visit
ors generally find the great temple
dedicated to the worship of the god
dess Durga one of the most interest
ing. It is known to Europeans as the
monkey temple, because in and around
its precincts many hundreds of sacred
monkeys roam about without inter
ference The temple is situated In the
southern extremity of the city. 1t was
erected during the last century by the
Rance Bhawani, of Natre, in honor of
Shiva's wife, the terrific goddess who
is supposed to delight in death and
slaughter, and of whom the poor be-
levers in the various attributes of the
deities comprising the Hindoo Pan
theon stand in the greatest dread. A
correspondent of the London Graphic
writes as follows regarding the place:
The Dura Kund Is conspicuous in
this city of temples for the grace and
simplicity of its architecture. 1t ad-
joins a tank. which is the finest in
Benares, and occupies the central por-
ton of quadrangle, the walls be-
ing stained red with ochre The sa-
cred portion of the temple consists of
twelve finely carved pillars, standing
On a marble platform and supporting
a heavy roof. The platform Is about
four feet from the ground and is as
cended by flight Of low steps on each
side of the square. The temple is
we'll provided with the necessary in
struments for creating the frightful
noises which emanate from these
abodes of idolatry all over India.
Drums of huge dimensions, gongs,
bells. and tom-toms are all at the ser
vice of the priests in performing the
rites required of them. But the antics
of the monkeys which make this tenn
pie their home are, next to its archi-
lecture, the most attractive feature of
the place. The goats blood with which
the walls are sprinkled, and the sacri-
fees that are known to take place here
to appease the wrath of SILVA and his
terrifying spouse. are rather revolving
to a Christian: but the grotesque play

come here to worship. These sacred
