SUNDAY ORDINANCE VETOED.
Chicago's Mayor Says Open Stores
Don't Disturb Good Order.
Advises Overworkcd Employees to
Look Elsewhere for Relief.
(By Associated Press.)

CHICAGO, June ls.-Mayor Hopkins
last night vetoed the ordinance closing
certain stores on Sunday. His Honor
holds that "the ordinance was not
passed in obedience to q demand OF
the people for the preservation of the
peace and good order OF society on Sun
day by closing certain stores. but in
consequence of the desire of certain
employees OF retail stores and barber
shops to procure by municipal enact
ment a much-needed day of rest.
THE desire Is well justified. and
every legitimate means should be en-
ployed to accomplish its fulfilment.
but cannot sanction a measure which
under the guise Of a police regulation
to the preservation of the peace and
good order of society on the Sabbath
so radically interfcres with the private
affairs of the citizens.
II cannot take the view that in a large
city the keeping open of shoe store
of society, however desirable the closing
thereof may be from the standpoint OF
the overworked employee or in the in
terest Of q religious observance OF Sun
day,
the overworked employees of the stores
mentioned in the ordinance Is either
peaceable. but determined, assertion of
the power of organized labor. which has
already accomplished such wonderful
results in the matter Of the reduction Of
the hours OF toll and the amelioration
Of the condition Of the working classes.

So partly out of plque and partly be-
cause her parents disapproved Of the
match she promised to elope with him.
It wasn't to be any trivial elopement n
getting married before the registrar in
London and going to Paris for few
weeks, but a run to Liverpool, a mar
riage there by special license and trip
by fastest steamer to New York. Ar
rving there they would cross America
and gradually work their way around
the world and back to London in a year
or two. George Webley was rich and
could easily afford this kind of we'd
ding tour. In olden times the parents
OF Tilly Markham would have been more
anxious that their daughter should
marry George WebleY rather than the
poorer, but OF course more moral young
man, Tom Bantry. But times had
changed, and 1t was the daughters that
now looked for money with their lovers.
The girl admitted to herself that she
liked Tom Bantry best bat he had cer-
taihiy treated her very badly. They had
had an appointment for a picnic up the
river. but without n word Tom had gone
sway. ana worse still he had sent no
explanation or excuse for his desertion.
So Tiliy thought she would teach him a
lifelong lesson and knowing well that
her parents would oppose the match, and
especially Its hurried conclusion. she told
George Webiey II no would arrange for

She took another OF the telegram
