Will Reduce the Fare,
The railroads are beginning to re

Chicago if they want to send travel in
that direction. Already they have

To Be Open Sundays.
On Baturday, at Chieago, by a unan-
imous vote the United States court of
appeals has reversed the circuit court
decision closing the World's Fair on
Sunday, and declared through Chief
Justice Fuller as their spokesman, that
the government has no exclusive right
or authority in the control of the Co-
position. This substantial
victory for the Runday
lumbian ex
and decisive
openers was received by the crowded
court room with loud cheers.
Coming to the main question, the
court took the ground that the appro-
priation of $2,500,000 in souvenir coins

by States government
as a charitable bequest. It was simply
an appropriation for the assistance and
benefit of a local corporation to com-
plete a work that affected the honor of
