And speaking of justice very naturally leads to the topic that is uppermost now regarding World's fair matters, for "jus tice" just now has the decision of the great Sunday opening question. The first whack at the issue was had in Judge Stein's conrt and the scales of the blind goddess were the heaviest on the side of Sunday opening in the preliminary hear ing. The case was tha of C. V. Cling man as a stockholder vs. the World's fair directors, and was an application for an injunction to restrain the directors from closing the gates on Sunday, the injunc tion asked for being preliminary. The bill also includes the South park commis sioners. nth of the Judge'sTiecislon. The application was made both as stock holder and taxpayer and Jndge Stein de cided that as a mere stockholder the appli cant could not maintain his claim in the absence of fraud, breach of trust or ultra vires, neither of which is alleged. But a a taxpayer he had rights under the act of the legislature declaring that the park was to be held as a public park free to all persons forever. The judge held that congress has not sole jurisdiction in the matter in hand, but if ic had con gress had enacted that "nothing in this act April 23, 1S00, shall be construed to over ride the laws of any state." Neither had congress enacted a law requiring the fair to be closed on Sunday3.it ka.w it hai not that power. The Noh of the Controversy. The judge then goes to the nub of the matter, and says that what congress did do was to cive the fair ?2,!h,wio on tne conur tion that the fair be closed on Sunday congress gave a certain sum of money pro vided the fair directory would do a certain thing. But on March 3, 1M3, congress took one-fifth of the money previously given and applied it to another use than that which was the purpose of the first appro priation. This, the court says, was a viola' tion of the contract. It was true that the directory had used part of the money, but there was no proof that any had been used subsentient to March H. JS'.. and that act of congress relieved tne directory irom its obligation provided it returned the, money used. First blood is for the "openers." Consistency, Thou Art a Jewel. It is somewhat instructive to read the talk of the religious people on this subject- At the regular weekly meeting of Chi cago clercvmen Dr. Blanchard demanded a boycott of the lair as a response io me ooen cates Sunday.

SOME LAW FOR SABBATARIANS, What, the Commandment Sys A Cana dian Divine's Remarks. In discussing this question a good many things are coaling up that will probably make the row of the Sabbatarians a hard one to hoe from an argumentative stand point. One controversalist quoted the law as banned down from Sinai. How many know it t This is how it reads: "Kemember the Sabbath day to keep it liitj fctranger tuat is wicnin tny gaiea.- That is it nearly if not quite verbatim, ex- : eluding the cast clause. "Sabbat ari'uism," remarked this man. "may be a j-ood thing, but what are you going to uo with tne commauament -o manner of work;' 'thou nor thy son, nor thy daughter, nor thy mau servant, nor they maid servant, nor thy cattle.' " It is evident that there is a cog out somewhere. For strict and consistent obsei vance of the commandment would make some remark able changes in the methods and activities of this latter end of the nineteenth cen tury. The Presbyterian assembly at Washington discussed a proposition 10 withdraw the Presbyterian exhibit, but when informed that it would cost f2,500 postponed the matter for further consid eration. The following remarks of Hev. Mr. IJun- nett, a Canadian evangelist at uosron, are quite po :ited for the Sabbatarians. He said. referring to the threatened boycott oi iue fair by Methodists: "I want to ask the churches of Boston why they do not get ex cited and arise in their strength and with draw their patronage from the street car companies and railroads, who cause thou sands of men to work on the Sabbath who are hiinizerinir for the bread of life and can not, irnt. time to attend a church for the dailv needs of little ones. It is a popular thing now to attack the World's fair, but it would be unpopular to stop the street cars that on a Sunday carry Cnns tians to their churches' SyThis beautiful set of Books can seen at the ARGUS Counting Room. be Scene on Life's Turnpike.

Medico-Climatology met at night in Columbus hall and Homeopathy in Washington hall, the business being principally welcomes and responses. This morning thy were all at work discussing the questions broHght forward. The sub jects arranged for this congress cover tne whole range of medical and surgical prac nud the doctors who are to read papers anil take part in their discussion are among the leaders of the school and will make th congress notable. There were 37,093 paid admissions to the World's fair. The principal new attraction was the opening of the French exhibit in the Liberal Arts building. It is a splendid one. In the government room is a magnifi cent collection of tapestry and pottery. 'The Daughter of the Fairies," a Gobelin tapestry valued at 1,000,000 francs, hangs from one of the walls. The execution of this masterpiece occupied twelve years. On a platform in the middle of the main room stands a small, peculiar pavilion, which will contain the costliest exhibit in the whole exiiosition. Vever, of Pans, has $3,000,000 worth',of jewels, mostly diamonds, on one side, and on the other Boucheron, of Paris, will very soon have a similar ex hibit in the space, the vale of whicn Is placed at 9,000.000.

Many officers and em ployes of the Illinois Central road having expressed a desire to invest their savings in the stock of the corporation, the directors have arranged so that an employe may buy stock at the market price, to be fixed when application is made, the purchaser to pay for his shares in sums of $5or multiples thereof. When an employe shall have paid enough to entitle him to a share the certifi cate is issued in his name. Interest is al llowed on payments, and if at any time the employe retires from the service of the com pany, or wishes to withdraw his money, he has only to notify the head of his depart ment and his payments with interest will be forthcoming. Kansas Ileasons for-Mortgage. Topkk A, May tlO. The state census bul letin of farm and home indebtedness of Kansas shows a variety of novel reasons for borrowing money. A Decatnr county man mortgaged his premises "mostly for lieer." Two were to pay for divorce suits. In Lincoln county a man assumed; a mortgage to pay his "wife's debts." An other to pay 'undesirable debts of a son-in-law." Another to buy a piano, another tn nnv nlimonv. another to evade credit ors. One mail in Lyons county mortgaged his home to buv a saloon, while his neigh bor look mortgage liabilities to study for the ministry Three Little Ones iturued to licatn. Canon-siilkg, Pa., May 30.

About ni- tr-four German-American societies or cni- cago have so far accepted the invitation to participate in the parade on German aay. Colorado's big pavilion in Mines ana Mininc was also onened and all day long a bitr crowd stood in front of three ordinary looking show cases in the center or tue pavilion.
