the nearly 1000 persons who
are on our payroll today.
True every one OF them lex
cept mechanical workers by the
piece or hour gets a liberal
vacation, with pay, if in our
employ six months. But we are
glad to give them more. Peo-
pie who work as our people do
deserve not only the regular
vacations they have had since
the store started, but this little
extra rest and outing that our
goodwill and your considera-

By a little forethought you
can mostly arrange to make
purchases on other days than
Saturdays; or if Saturday is
the only handy day to be at the

buying must be done before

promptly as if the store were

The Sanitary World pointedly re-
flutes the popular fallacy of the unwhole-
someness of night air, and pertinently
asks-What air can we breathe at night
but night ARR
The choice is between pure nj ght air
from without and foul air from within.
Most people prefer the latter-an un
accountable choice. What will they
say if it IS proved to be true that fully
one half of all the diseases we suffer
from are occasioned by people sleeping
with their windows shut? An open
window most nights in the year can
never hurt any one. In great cities
night air is often the best and purest to
be had in twenty four hours. One could
better understand shutting the windows
in town during the day than during the
night for the sake of the sick. The abb
sence of smoke, the quiet, all tend to
make the night the best time for airing
the patient. One of the highest medi-
cal authorities on consumption and eli
mate has told me that the air of Lon
don is never so good as after 10 o'clock
at night. Always air your room, then,
from the outside air If possible.

verdict for $4,000 damages, has again

fused to pay that, and appealed to the
Supreme Court, which ordered new
trial and laid down the law of the case.
The new trial was postponed on account
of the prejudices aroused by newspaper
articles, but when it was finally held re-
suited in second verdict for $50 600.

More Information for the Farmers.

which the department is particularly de

sheets of bulletins issued from any and
every division of the department will pass
through the Secretary's office, and their
contents will be carefully read and di-
gested in the editorial division. A careful
resume will then be prepared i'll the plain
est possible language, giving in substance
the facts and conclusions of each bulletin

Newspapers and Critics.

Under the above caption that able
and conservative journal the Phlladel
phia Ledger comments very sensibly
upon the recent remarks OF the Rev.
George S. Horr at public dinner
Mr.. Horr, in response to the toast
"The Press" said:
"People are very apt to blame editors
for the scandalous matter that is founI
in newspapers, and yet if they could
for little while step inside of the edi
torial office and see how much salacious
matter is suppressed, how editors have
put within their hands weapons to strike
down regulations and characters, and
see how that matter is put into the
waste basket, l think, instead of so
much promiscuous condemnation of
press, you would wonder that the press
OF the country, take it all through, is as
SOou ds IL ID. II 10 tCSuiuOilldl HOl
only to the morality and high principl.
of editors, but to the moral tone of the
community, which is constantly de-
handing that newspapers shall not be
salacious and scandalous."
1t should be said, IN justice to them,
that very few of the critics of the news
papers have enjoyed the Rev. Mr.
Horr's privilege of being made familiar
with the inside of editorial rooms. They
base their criticisms upon the public
journals which are laid before them.
In some they see those things which
obviously should be left out, though VS.
do not think many newspapers which
are considered respectable and which
are read by respectable persons often
offend by publishing salaclous matter.
In journals which are well thought OF
there may too frequently be seen scan
dalous, fippant articles, or such as ill.,
wade the sanctity of homes and per-
sonal character, the publication of
which does not honor journalism, but
even these offences OF a part of the
press are becoming less common. A
higher and better ideal of newspaper
work is controlling the minds of those
who control American journalism. The
press is not at all perfect. 1t still pos
sibly errs against wisdom in many ways,
but not in SO many ways, nor so griev-
ously as it did in its earlier state. The
improvement in the general spirit Of
journalism IS not only proceeding con
tinually, but 10 marked degree.
There are many public journals in
this country which long ago proved that
a newspaper may be wholly void of
salaciousness, scandal or sensationallsm,
and be as interesting as, if it pan
dered to vicious taste. As rule, We
are convinced the tendency in every
reputable editorial office IS to present
newspaper clean and good, and worthy
the favor of those of the best intell-
gence and highest morality.

the weakness of his contest, with tie
Boston slugger, can purge the prize
ring OF its brutality, or confer on ITS
participants the slightest shade OF re-
spectabilitv. 1t is bad and all bad.
Taken it at its best says sensible Cotem-
porary, the prize ii ,ht is an lndefensibly
brutal affair. 1t is bad enough that two
men should stand up with the premedi
tated purpose OF beating one another
into state of physical disability; to
pound each others faces to jelly; to
MAIN and brulse each other to the
point of non-resistance but that is the
least of the demoralizing, degrading
effect of that contest. The worst of it
was that it was openly, hagrantly, with
out any concealment whatever, done in
contempt OF law, with all the legal
authorities virtually looking on, for where
the crowd of ruffians and gamblers went,
to Richburg, Mississippi, the Governor
and troops of that State could have
gone had they so willed.
The prize fight, which was solely a
gamblers and ruffians' and brutes' fight.
mercenary and nothing else, was in
every way inherently dIsgraceful and
degrading to all concerned in 1t, but it
was most disgraceful of all, most de
grading of all, to the society and law
which it violated, and whose represen
tatives looked on and saw the law
trampled under foot and society dis
honored by it.
These brutes OF the prize ring fought
as the brutes fight-till one fell ex
hausted and could give or take no fur
tner punishment. The ordinary brute
is rather their superior IN the prize ring,
however, as he leaps or crawls over the
body of his defeated antagonist to seize
the prize money, the price he has re
ceived for playing the brute. The dog
that is let loose in the ring to bite and
tear his antagonist is nobIer than the
human brute, for at least he does not
fight for hire and salary.

Flag With That Number of Stars Is not :,

WASHINGTON, ID. c., July 10.-Although
the Navy Department has issued an order
to the effect that hereafter all flags made
for the navy shall contain forty two stars,
a request from the Assistant Treasurer,
at New York, for flag of this descrip-
ton has been refused by the Treasury
Department.
The officials of the Revenue Marine
Bureau which distributes flags to the
custom houses, Revenue Marine Boards,
&C., hold that flag with AZ stars is not
a legal flag, aud will not be until the ne /
Fourth of July. The law says: ION the
admission of a new State into the Union
one star should be added to the union of
the flag, and such addition shall take
effect on the Fourth day of July then
next succeeding such admission"
THE flags with forty-two stars are
just one year ahead of time" said rev.
enue marine official to reporter yester-
day. "The local contractor who furnishes
our flags says that all the flags which he
makes for private individuals contain the
increased number of stars. That Is all
right so far as private parties are con-
cerued, but the Government must have a
legal flag or none."
