chants, and the movement widened and
broadened and deepened until to-day dozens,
and perhaps hundreds, Of firms have joined
in the good work, and in some stores on Sat-
urdav at l. O'Clock, and at Others O'Clock,
the doors are barred, the shutters put up
and the clerks are released from their work
to rest and recuperate tired brains, hands
and feet until Monday morning. Who shall
say more than enough life, energy and am
bition mixed with gratitude is not brought
back on Monday morning to well repay the
employer, The ministers of the city have
Joined their voices TO those of the World
and Herald in this, and the elevated rail-
roads and excursion steamers have added
their half, and many persons who would
have conscientious scruples about Sunday
outings are now able TO go on Saturday al
ternoons during July and August. Thanks
to the Saturday hslfholiday. In addition
to this, most of the prosperous firms give
their hard-worked bookkeepers and head
clerks from one to four weeks vacation "with
salary continued" What sauce picquante
this adds to the rest.
If remember Alright, when the gilt OF
France to America-.he statue of Liberty
first became generally known to the people,
the EAGLE announced it had sent one dollar
in response to the appeal for one dollar con-
tributions, and offered to forward anything
given for that purpose A few days ago the
statue arrived here and brilliant reception
was accorded it. Yards of bunting,
thousands of French and American flags
foated upon the breeze, vast process
sion and II naval display, etc, all added
to the eclat of the occasion. The gigantic
figure is now unloaded over on Bedloe's Is
land, and the work of preparing the pedes-
tai for it is being pushed forward.
The World undertook this work of rails
ing 100000 for their pedestal and it.ac-
knowledges up to date the receipt of SsS,246
of this amount. This large sum has been
given by 96,376 persons in sums Of from
one penny to, believe, one thousand dol
lars. Every name is published with amount
given. 1t is hoped to reach the desired goal
| very soon now.
Speaking of the World, it is hard to real
ize how paper containing twenty, seven
column pages can be sold for three cents,
but circulation of 10000 makes much
possible in the newspaper line.
