Christmas and the Maturity of Notes


Acknowledgement Poe stated yes
terday that he is of the opinion that
all promissory notes falling due
next Saturday, Sunday or Monday
will not be protestable until Tues
day, December 27. Mr.. Poe said;
clad it not been for the passage
of the Saturday half-hohday bill
notes falling due next Saturday,
Sunday or Monday would have been
PAYABLE and protestable on Satur-
day. Under the half-horiday law
note falling on any Saturday may
be paid on Saturday, but il not
paid, the note is not protcstabia
until the next secular day.
"Christmas day, December 70,
falls on next Sunday and we celc-
bratc The legal holiday on the fol-
lowing Monday. Therefore, note
due on Saturday will not be pre-
testable until Tuesday, December,
n. If note falling on Saturday
will not be protestable until the
following Tuesday, it seems clear
that note falling due on the Sun
day and Monday following Satur-
day would not be protestable pntl}
Tuesday.

Two U. s. Soldiers and IL Rejected Aprli-
cant Disappear from the City.
On Saturday morning three OF the
recruits for the United States army left
unceremoniously without any explana-
ton whatever to tho recruiting officer
in charge. Tho suppositian is that
they loft for Pittsburgh to re-enlist.
Two had already been examined and
passed successfully, and were pro-
nounced physically perfect, meeting all
requirements of the army regulations,
the the third being rejected on account
Of defective eyesight. 1t is supposed
that the rejected applicant coaxed tho
others off to another point, where they
might. all enlist together, as
they were companions. Lieutenant
Mitchell, the officer in charge
at this point, says that it will be impos-
sible for any rejected applicants to on
list after having once failed to pass
muster, as the regulations are SO per-
feet and uniform they will DO at once
detected. The tests are. the same all
over the country, and all have to pre-
sent certificates Of good character and
mako affidavit to the fact that they have
mover been heretofore examined. Once
rejected they can never make applica-
ton again. The action of the accepted
candidates is unwise. as this will bar
them from entering the army at any
time in tho future.

dull condition, and tho Crystal Glass
company, OF Bridgeport, are also doing
well. The latter place is having tho
most successful run Of its existence this

Boys Costly Sport ut Bonwood Yester-
day Afternoon.
Yesterday Charles Heidi, a small boy
who. lives on Locust street, south Of
Twcnty-slxth, met with a painful and
grave accident while playing about the
B. 10. yard at Benwood. He had stolen
a rido down on o freight train, and was
jumping about ON the tops Of the. cars,
whom the engine started to move, and he
missed his footing and fell between two
cars. The wheels passed over his leg be-
tween tho knee andth ankle, grinding
the limb terribly. Ho was brought to
his home, and Drs. Ackorman and
Campbell summoned. They amputated
the log, and last night the lad was get
ting along fairly we'll. The accident
ought to be a warning to the other boys
who indulge in this dangerous sport,
but it probably will not. The only won
der is that there are not more accidents
than there are.
