Chicago, June 26. '-We all believe in an Amer ican Sabbath as a day of rest, a day of pure social enjoyment and a day ot worship. This World's fair is, in its Infant school, a great church, and it needs no religious service to make it right to open the gates on Sunday. The service in this place today will be carried on in the same respect as it would be in a regulaflyrrdained house of (tod. excepting that no collect km will be taken up." Prefacing the first sermon within the gates of the World's Columbian exposition on Sunday with these words. Rev. Dr. Thomas, facing an audience of 5.000 persons in Festival hall yester day afternoon, called the attention of his hearers to the text, taken from tha twenty-first versa of the seven teentk chapter of St. John: "That they may all be one in us; that the world may believe that Thon hast sent me." The day was warm, yet the visitors to the fair came in great number to listen to the word of (Sod. As the Apollo club of Chicago, about 500 strong, were singing the famous old hymn, 'Olivet," the crowds poured in at every door, and as the singing was concluded the attendance num bered shout 5,000. Everybody remained until the services were over, and re markably dose attention was given the preacher. After invoking Divine blessing upon the people assembled to gether, the people and officials of the great fair. Dr. Thomas proceeded with his sermon. "Man's world is divided," he said, "but there shonld be a great oneness here between human brings as they are also near alike physically. There may be a vast difference in mental powers; one man mav be at the bottom and an other at the top of the ladder, bnt man is man and all are equal. Man stands alone in himself." Dr. Thomas colt' tinned. "He is self conscious of his be ing; this being now carried np to the point of self consciousness is now deal ing with all kinds of truths, the stand ard of truth as established bv differ ent races as their intelligence dictated.

It took all kinds of labor to reach this result, he said, and added: "We are all one person working toward one common end. Man is the helper of man.

Ta Have the Oraaaeet Foarth at Jell Cetrbratlea Ever Kaoara. C'nirAoo. June 38. American exhibi tors at the fair are aroused to the im portance of an organization among themselves primarily for mutual bene fit. Incidentally, they want to tee the grandest celebration on the grounds the next Fourth of July the country has ever known. They intend to help it along, and the meeting to be held to day will inaugurate a movement to that end. Telegraphic invitations to be pres ent with their staffs will be sent to the governor's of all the states, and all the military and civic organizations of any note will be invited In the same urgent manner. It is believed that any amount of money needed will be sub- scrilnrd promptly, and that a lusty hurrah will soon lie heard throughout the land. It is not too much for the enthusiastic promoters of this scheme to hope that a million people will be brought to Jackson Park one week from next Tuesday. The American ex hibitors will overlook no attraction oratorical or pyrotechnical or spectac ular that will be an inducement. State af O lad. ton. travelled. World's Fair liRin-xns, Chicago, June 3(5. Tribute to the greatest liv ing statesman was paid yesterday af ternoon by the unveiling in the ban queting hall of Donegal castle, in the Irish village on the Midway Plaisanee, of a colossal statue of William Ewart Gladstone. The event was participated in by an audience that crowded the hall and placed itself on the lawn out side, and in which there were many Irish representatives from other parts of the state, as well as from Wisconsin and Michigan. The statue, which Is nine feet in height and stands on a twelve-foot pedestal, isafac-simileof-the one unveiled in front of Bow Church, in 18H3. by Lord Carlingford. and is by the same sculptor, Bruce Joy, of Lon don, who was present yesterday, and was introduced to the audience.

Chicaoo, June 30. The unveiling of the granite monument to the memory of the five anarchists, August Spies, Albert Parsons, Adolph Fischer. Louis Lingg and Keorge EngeL which took place yesterday afternoon at Waldheim cemetery, was an impressive ceremony. More than 3,500 persons assembled at the burial ground to stamp once more with their approval the sentiment and actions of the men whom the state of Illinois found guilty of treason and put to death. The crowd was orderly and the few policemen under whoso protection the ceremony took placo found little to do beyond keeping sym pathizers with anarchy in line aa they surged through the gate of tho enclosure. It was a crowd f Germans. Poles and Bohemians. .Deareely an American was to be seen, and the ex ercises Were carried on mainly in for eign tongtlesv The character of the speeches could not be called incendiary, bnt rather that of mild protest against the exist ing order of the government. Tha ringing oratory of the days when tho red flag wared where it pleased waa gone, an 1 all the enthusiasm the ora tors could bring from their auditors was an occasional burst of applause, not very certain in its sound. A marked feature of the oratory, how ever, and one which was most liber ally applauded, was a showing of strong animosity towards Jndges Gary and Grinnell and other officials of the law who had been prominent in the celebrated trial. The addresses at the grave were preceded by a short parado in the city. The entire ceremony was) under the auspices of Matthias Schraid enger, president of the Pioneer anil Support association, which has made the monument a possibility, and which, ever since the celebrated execution in the yard of the Cook county jail, has supported the widows and children of the five anarchists. M. Schmidenger opened the exercises) with a few temperate remarks. The monument was formally tendered to the association by Sculptor Weincrt. Then came the English speech by Wil liam Holmes. He said in part: We invite the aoble lords and ladles front other leads who are sojourning ia our city pal aces, whose titles to great possessions are founded upon tyraaoy and robbery, who proudly boast that they nor their aaceeters hare ever been contamiaated by labor or trade: we Invite these ariatocrats to view the mona ment which loyal heart, aad ready haw), hare raised up. Let them gaze upon the stern figure of their Nemesis and read Ib her dcaant atti tude the prophecy of labor's deliverance. Long hare they feasted and fattened on the toll wruag from laboring poor, but the daya of their triumph, are already aumbered. We Invite also the rich of onr own country ad city, tae wealthy toadies to European aristocracy, who have recently given as a practical demonstration of their itching for royal recognition. We ask those recreant Americans to look upon the work which the frleBds of these mur dered men have dedicated. Onr comrades pe titioned them, appealed to them, almost prayed to I bent to hearken to the agoalsed cries of the oppressed poor; but they heeded Bot the petition, the prayers nor the warnings of those whom they had wronged. There will come a time whea they will remember tho warning prophecy of one whom they stran gled. Dr. Ernest Schmid. the veteran so cialist of Chicago, delivered the Ger man oration. The speaker refrained from any direct criticism of the pro ceedings in the anarchist trial, bnt he gave a very striking phrase in advert ing to the close trial of Jean Palaa, of Florence. The red hood which enveloped the monument was drawn aside by young Albert Parsons, who was directed by his mother, the widow of Albert Par sons. The design is striking. I'pon a mas sive surface, Bnpported by a firm base, rests a rectangular plinth. Directly in front of the plinth stands a heroic group in bronze. The sentiment em bodied in this group was found by the sculptor in Freiligrath's poem. "The Revolution. The central figure in the group represents a woman in an attitude expressive of defiance. Her right arm, with clenched hand, is crossed over her breast, while the left hand is placing a laurel wreath npon the brow of her champion, who lies stricken at her feet. Beneath the form of the prostrate man fronds and sprays of palms are strewn. The woman's figure stands out in bold relief, full of expression, and is powerfully conceived and artistically executed. On the base of the monument the last words of August Spies are In scribed: "The day will come when oar silence will be more powerful than the voices yon are threat ening to-day." A BAD CREVASSE. All Efforts ta Cloae tha Break Twenty Mile. Be lew flatea Roeffe Abaadoa.it. New Orleaxs, Jnne 35. The Rescue crevasse, 30 miles below Baton Rouge, is the most serious of the season. Ef forts were made to close it, but as the levee was built of sand and yielded very quickly to the encroachment of the water, the break quickly widened. The crib work has been washed away, and all the work has been abandoned. The crevasse will probably run until the river goes down. The Mississippi Val ley railroad traffic is seriously inter rupted. Inclines will, however, prob ably be built. Many fine plantations will be overflowed, and the property loss will be large. A Bad Wreck. Rochester. N. Y., June 35.
