Open Sunday at World Fair Amid Sabbatarian Clash
The World's Columbian Exposition directors voted to break with Congress, allowing Sunday openings by reopening all fair areas while keeping machinery shut on Sundays. A $2.5 million appropriation was to be returned to the government, with services held and workers given rest days. The plan aims to open Sundays despite a federal veto, sparking Sabbatarian debate and potential friction with the national commission.

Santa Fe to Cut Rates on Colorado to Chicago
Santa Fe officials say they will reduce the association rate for Colorado and Kansas routes to Chicago. W J Black, assistant general passenger agent, says the current rate is too high and not affordable for travelers. The move follows objections to Missouri River rates being too low a comparison but aims to lower distant-point fares while maintaining revenue.
