PHILADELPHIA, May 5, 1886.

PHILADELPHIA hLaI .; 1901
The Saturday HalfH Holiday
Question has got to be settled.
Many years ago We did our
part toward settling the hour
of closing Saturday night in the
clothing business. We have
SO far done our part towards
shortening hours in general
merchandise. We were the
first, five remember right, to
to give our people a two weeks
summer vacation with pay. 1t
used to be the rule in some of
the stores not to pay wages
whenever the stores were clos
ed on holidays, or other days.
That rule may still exist for
aught we know. 1t never eX-
listed with us.
The question as to shorten
ing hours has a two-fold as
pect: First, its effect on the
merchants own business; and
second, its effect on business in
general.
What can be done in our
particular store is better known
to us than to anyonee else. The
cost to us Of doing it and the
public inconvenience are bet
ter known to us than to others,
So we must decide. The same
is true of every He
knows his situation best.
But some concession ought
to be made to reform in gen
eraI. One can afford someloss,
and the public may properly
accept some inconvenience, in
behalf ofrcform. We propose
to decide the Saturday ques-
ton with this obligation fully
in mind.
There are three ways to
treat a reform: resist it as long
as you can go for it crazy, hal.
loo. oct red in the face, lead
the reformers and get an ad.
vertisement out of it. We
prefer the third, a middle
course; and that is to go fol
the real reform-reject the
craze and accept the reform.
Business is asked to close
at one O'Clock on Saturday al
the year round, and let the
workmen and women play anC
rest and get ready for Sunday
That has sopleasanta sounC
it has captivatcd almost every
body who has nothing to loosC
by it. What a delightful thing
to turn this work-a-day worlC
into rest and play and get rea
dy for Sunday on Saturday al

Talmage on Evolution.

A large audience listened last
evening to the Rev. Talmage's lee
ture on the "Absurdities of Evolu-
ton at the Madison avenue Con-
gregational Church. He did not
believe in Darwins theory of nat.
ural selection nor in Wallace's
theory of the suryial Of the fittest.
1t was frequently the unfttest
that survived There was 10 nat
ural progress upward. The hu-
man race started with men ten
feet high and who lived several
hundred years and who had det-
eriorated TO FIVE feet six inches and
la lie of thirty years duration.
Natural progress was downward
When you could evolve an Grafton
from n buzz saw, you could evolve
goodness from the human heart.
The eyolutionists Thought that
monkeydom lost the prehensile
power and became men. Having
failed rs monkeys they became
man. This theory would make
men little better than bankrupt
monkey. The only instance where
an animal ever crossed the line
from specchlessness to articulation
was that Balaam's beast of burden
and then the angel Of the Lord ap-
peared with flaming sword to drive
this long -eared eyolutionist back
into it's proper sphere, Evolution
tended to bestiality; that in spring
ing from a brute, it was proper
destiny lo return to one.

The Inspirations for Prohibit.
ion.

We are inspired and confirmed
IN our work for prohibition by the
most cheering and promising re-
suits in the near future. The south
is especially alive on this great
question, and the Indications now
are that there will be but two par
ties in the field Prohibitionists
and Democrats. The republican
party has been almost paralyzed
out of eXistance, and a large mum
Der of democrats are SO thoroughly
convinced that the liquor traffic is
the greatest curse Of our country,
that they are willing to leave their
old party and join hands with the
friends Of prohibition, and form n
new one, whose ambition and en-
thusiasm will soon be developed
into a solid and compact body that
will carry all before it. In the
south the prohibition party en-
braces most Of the intelligent and
Christian elements among the
whites, and these lead the way foi
most of the blacks, SO that, wheI
the time shall be fully ripe for ac
ton, it will be found that u large
majority Of the voters will be
ranged on the side of prohibition
1t only needed that there should
be some definite show Of strength
to combine this moral force into o
new and permanent majority Of the
people for the entire prohibition Of
the liquor traffic.
At first it was supposed that it
would require much more time,
but the recent boom in Atlanta, to-
gether with the enthusiasm and
general intelligence Of the people
on this question all over the south.
and other fayoring circumstances,
has brought the subject before the
minds Of the people with Il start
ling rapidly, and seems now a
fair conclusion that, by the next
Presidential election, we will see
remarkable changes in the politi.
cal atmosphere Of the south, and
perhaps extending and developing
itself over u large proportion ol

A Strange Story.

\ strange story comes from I'm
ion county, Ark, but it is as true
as it is strange, to-wit: That
three young men were sitting on
their horses in the road, discussing
the probabilities Of a rain from a
cloud which just then was rising
in the west. The youngest of the
group, named John Freeman, re-
ferring to the drought, remarked
that God who would allow his
people to suffer thus couldn't
amount to much. As he was speak
ing the boys were encircled with
lightning and the speaker was
stunned severely, though his com
panions were unscratched. Re
covering, he renewed the subject,
bitterly reyiling the Supreme Pow
err. Instantly a flash Of lightning
came from the cloud overhead and
and the young man fell dead in his
tracks. Nearly every bone in his
body was smashed to jelley,
while his boots were torn from his
feet and the clothes from his low
extremities The body presented
a horrible appearance, being a
/ hilckenel and mangled mass Of
humanity. His companions were
stunned and thrown to the ground,
but not seriously injured, The
funeral Of the poor unfortunate
young man occurred next day and
attracted large crowd, a greater
portion OF which were drawn hith-
er by the rumor Of the strange
events preceding the death of the
young man. When the body was
deposited in the ground and the
loose earth had been thrown in
until the aperture was filled, and
while the friend of the diseased
yet fingered in the cemetery, Il
bolt of lightning decended from u
cloud overhead and struck the
grave, throwing the dirt as if u
! pillow had passed lengthwise
/ through it. No one was injured,
but those present were almost
paralyzed with terror.
The incident is exciting q great
deal of attention, ministers and re-
ligious people generally holding
that the young man was the vic
tim of the wrath of an offended
God, while others wonderfully MS
sert that the cause was simply Il
coincidence, having no connection
with cause either physical or SUI
pernatural
