MARCH 26,1890. NO. 168 THE WORLLTS FAIR. The Chicago Bill Finally Passes the House. THE EVENT POSTPONED TO 1893.

New York Members Endeavor to Have Chicago Show Her Fubucrlptlon Llita, but the That the We.l- ern Metropolis Baa Given Sufficient Guaranty of Good Faith. March C'and- ler, of Massachusetts, called up the world's fair bill in the bouse and argued in its favor. The committee was satisfied that Chicago liad raised a hona fide subscription of $5.000,000 and was also satiaiiud that Chicago had done more than had been from any competing city in agreeing that the subscription should tie raised to $10,000,000. Mr. Gaudier offered an amendment on his individual motion providing for the dedication of the buildings of the world's fair with appropriate ceremonies Oct.

12, 1892; and further providing that the exposition shall be opened to visitors not later than Hay 1, and close not later than Oct. 30, 1893. The amendment was passed. Itolden Call! fur Mr. Boldcn, New York, said that New York had accented the decision of the house in regard to the location of the world's fair in good faith.

She had not since said one word or performed one act with a view of reversing that decision. But that did not prevent her representatives from insisting that there should be incorporated in this bill such safeguards as would secure that success in Chicago which Xew York had expected to achieve. When the site had been selected and the bill had been recommitted to the special committee, the members from New York asked the Illinois members for the guarantees they had promised; and lo! behold, they had produce 1 a paper marked "Exhibit with Homa names upon it. The first mime on it was that of E. St John, and the ninount mentioned was He bad asked Mr.

Springer about it, and had been told that that amount been promised at a meeting of railroad men. They had not yet subscribed. Mr. make this statement, that if Siri.iK)0,OM is necessary to make the fair a success in Chicago, it would be raised withiu six in Mr. Balden proceeded to argue that before the bill passed Chicago should be compelled to show some guarantee that the subscriptions could be raised.

Mr. llnrbcrt. of Alabama, opposed the holding of a world's fair as a bad precedent. Give Chirac" a Chance. Mr.

Soinp months ago I appealed on this floor in behalf of fair play towards New York: today I appeal to this house for fair play towards Chicago. New York had fair play on this floor. She lost this fight through treachery in her own ranks. There was a Benedict Arnold in New York: more than that, thure a jockey of Norfolk, who led her natural geographical allies of New England into the ranks of the enemy. Mr.

Frank, of Missouri, said nothing should be done to retard the progress or imperil the success of the commemoration of the great historical event in Chicago. The honor of the entire country was involved in the success of the exposition. Mr. 1- lower, of New York, favored recommitting the bill and make Chicago show the subscription list. Mr.

Mason, of Illinois, thought New York did not want to make the fair a success. The way to help Chicago was not to throw discredit upon her business men and treat them as if they were tramps aud mendicants. Representatives Hooker, of Mississippi, McAdoo, of New Jersey, and Mansur, of Missouri, earnestly expressed hope for a successful fair in Chicago. Mr. Belden then offered his motion to recommit, but it was defeated without a division.

The bill was then 202; nays, 4'J. A Comclunce Contrlhntlon.

A FICIf 1C AFTER A FUNERAL. The Unique Deilre of Schweltxer Carried Out by August T. Schweitzer, of Brooklyn, N. was a very jolly man while he lived and bad rather a jolly Idea of life beyond the grave. Fond of old jokei, he insisted that bis coffin should be a chestnut one, as he considered that death was an old story.

This jolly fellow died on Thursday and was buried on Sunday, the funeral being as jolly and happy as the dead man could have wished. His orders were that the funeral feast should be eaten before bis body was placed in the earth, and that the coffin must be in the dining room, because he wanted to be in the midst of bis friends. This part of the program was not fully carried ort, because no hotel proprietor would consent to the casket being brought into his premises. The services were held at the residence of the dead man, in Brooklyn, on Sunday afternoon and the jollification took place later. When the friends and Masons who had attended the funeral saw the casket safe in the grave, they rushed outside to the Evergreen Hotel.

With them rushed others, few of whom seemed to have any interest or connection with the funeral. Lager beer, oheese sand- niches, Frankfurter sausages and coffee constituted the repast provided for them. Thus Schweitzer's funeral ended as happily as he bad wished. PROF. HOLT'S XAJIROW ESCAPE.

In the Spring The of lassitude peculiar to the season begins to be felt The average stock of vitality has been pretty thoroughly exhausted In carrying Its possessor through the rigors and changes of the trying winter, and as the more genial season approaches and the strain upon the system relaxes a feeling of prostration, more or less pronounced In degree and duration. Is the natural and Inevitable result. During the existence of this feeling of lassitude and depression, business cares and exertions seem almost Impossible of endurance, and evea the duties and responsibilities ol life are regarded as a burden to be shirked or disregarded to the greatest possible extent. To devise some preparation to counteract this tired feeling and restore the If You are Wise system to something like a normal condition has been the endeavor of many people more or less skilled in medical science, and countless concoctions nnder the general title of "spring medicine" have been placed npon the market, had a brief boon and then been lost sight of, to be succeeded by some other similar preparation.

The principal ingredient In most of the spring "bitters," "tonics," alcohol, the effect of which npon the human system has been sufficiently dwelt npon through various public mediums to render any extended reference to the same unnecessary here. The temporary feeilug of strength and exhllera- tlon produced by this active agent is as certainly followed by a greater degree of depression, while the results of continued Indulgence are a permanent Impairment of the vital heart, kidneys, liver and brain.

The reader should bear in mind that the check is a receipt for bis weekly subscription, and by receiving them be keeps au account between himself and tbe collector, which permits of no dispute over bjjls.

Chief Justice Faxon, of tbe Supreme Court of Pennsylvania, told a very interesting story tbe other night at tbe meeting of the Clover Club," in Philadelphia, about the purchase of Alaska by our Government (rom Russia. According to the Judge's theory, tbe seven million dollars Mr.

Seward paid for Alaska was only another way for giving Russia seven million dollars for the support of her navy, should France and England recognize the Southern Confederacy, and that in accordance with that arrangement the Russian war ships were in American ready to report to President Lincoln. It spoils the forcu of tbe story, however, to state that the war ended in 1885, and Alaska was purchased in 1868. The story may owe its birth in the Judge's mind to the faot that he was participating in the proceedings of the Clover Club. Their Flnt and Lut Quarrel.

There will be some heart-burnings among religions people over the decision of the Supreme Court ot Wisconsin that tbe reading of the Bible is not permissible in the public schools of that State.

Yet if the opinion of tbe Supreme Court of Wisconsin is examined its logical soundness will be generally recognized.

The Protestants have their version of the Bible, the Roman Catholics have theirs, while the Israelites have a Bible of their own, from which all that Christians most value in the Scriptures is omi'ted.
