COST OF A RAINY DAY.

roilers Lose Hundreds OF Thousands In
Wages and Retail Trade Suffers.
AN article the other day mentioned
the losses sustained by dealers in dry
goods in consequence Of rainy days"
said contractor to reporter of the
New York World recently, but the
real sufferers by the rainy day arc the
lay laborers and those who do business
directly with them. Rain means an
idle day to every laborcr and mechanic
employed on outdoor work, such as
eXcavators, quarrymcn, railroad build
ers, stone masons, bricl1Iayers, car
oenters, painters, furniture movers,
Long-shoremcn, etc. What they do not
earn they cannot spend,
"Thcrc is no way for this class of
bread-wiD ncrs to regain the day once
lost. They are men who deal with
their grocers, butchers and others on n
cash basis. If man works steadily all
the week he is enabled to buy n certain
amount of the nccessarics and luXurics
Of life. If he works but three days he
must get along with just half of what
he would otherwise have purchased.
The storekecpcr's business falls off just
that much. It will be readily seen,
then, that rainy day in New York
city means loss of the working popu-
lation of hundreds of thousands of dol
lars in wages, and this loss in turn falls
upon retail tradesmen. A rainy season
means distress and deprivation to the
toilcrs."
His Hat Was Honored.
On one occasion, when public re-
ception was given to Daniel Webster at
hotel in Boston, particularly
obsequious office-seeker was intro
duced. The man ground his own AK,
bowling and scraping. until the great
man was tired of him, and bidding him
good day, settled down heavily into
the nearest chair. But the man, in
stead Of passing on and giving chance
to the next conner, fingered near and
seemed to have something still on his
mind, though he looked very blissful.
Webster observed this and said, not
very good-naturedly: "May I ask you,
sir, If you want anything more of me?"
"Oh--oh, nor' said the man, smirlsing;
"only perhaps l may be permitted to
remark that am proud to say that my
hat is having the incstimable honor to
occupy the same chair with Daniel
Webster!" Webster had, rs matter of
fact, sat down on the mans tall beaver
hat.

THE FAIR WILLS.

San Francisco, May Elm the fight for
the fair millions the big four" executors
Of the first will, which so mysterlously
disappeared from the county clerks office
will have a decided advantage. Judge
Slack today ruled that the stolen Will
must be disposed Of before the later will,
produced by Mrs. Nettie Craven, can be
considered. The first will filed, therefore,
will be the first contested. This is con-
sidered matter of great Importance
to the proponents as the tactics Of the
Fair children will be to evade the for
feiture clause under the first will by
supporting the second, the provisions Of
which are more to their liking. The de-
cision giving priority to the proving Of
the first will filed will be an unexpected
blow to the children who expected that
the Craven will would take precedence
because OF its later date. The petition for
probate OF the first will be heard on
Wednesday.

circuit court a demurrer to the suit
brought by the government against the
