HALF HOLIDAY MOVEMENT.
Is Failure. but Many Merchants Close
Their Stores at ESQ.

~ u EoNuhgs OUt many sWCGSuuutS StcSS
Their Stores at ESQ.
At the last meeting Of the clerks
committee at their rooms on Wednes-
day evening the committee in regard
to the Friday half holiday reported
that the meeting had been failure.
The reason that they gave was that the
merchants could see no permanent
benefits in 1t. And the Boston store
will be the only one to adopt the
scheme. The committee further says:
After It became evident that the op-
position to the Friday half holiday was
too strong we set about Offering COM
promise to close at $50 On Monday
evening all the year, round except Sat-
urdays and during the holidays. Isaac
Long was the first to sign and it was
afterward presented to several of the
leading merchants In this city and the
following signed Vt or adopted it indc-
pendently with some alterations: Lang
field Bros, A. NJ. Doran & Co., klopfer
Bros. Joseph 8. Coons 4 Co.. Jonas
Longs Sons. Joseph II. Orr. II. Lend
lin, the Broadway. A. Kline. Mrs, ].
Reese. Lazarus Brcs.. Miss Lazarus
and all the grocery merchants with the
exception of Lewis Brown. What ac-
tion the merchants would take on the
following Monday evening was
watched with great interest. and to the
surprise and delight of hundreds of
clerks the following merchants closed
ut $50 Independently: Isaac Long. A.
II. Doran 4 Co, Jonas Longs Sons,
Joseph 8. Coons & Co., Lanfeld Bros,
T. +. Kirby. Joseph H. Orr and all the
grocery stores. We recommend the
adoption of the movement by this asso-
ciatton as the only solution Of the ear
ay closing question We believe it to
be the thing most calculated to benefit
the clerks permanently. which will in
convenience the public the least"
At the same meeting the annual elec-
tion Of officers was held with the fol-
lowing result: President Henry Ham,
tlton; vice-president. George McCleary;
secretary. d. W. Morris; financial sec
retary, Ben Thomas: treasurer, SAM

CHEAPEST OF METALS.
Aluminium Will surely Take This Rank
in Tims-Tho Slow Reduction Which
Has Taken place In Its Price.


Has Taken Place In Its Prioe.
What metal is four times lighter In
weight than silver. but very nearly as
brilliant, possessing, indeed, so little
weight that 1t will almost float on the
water, so abundant that 1t Ii found In
common clay, so sonOrous that when a
bar OF 1t Is struck 1t rings like a bell,
so malleable and ductile that 1t may be
rolled into the thinnest sheets or drawn
to fine wire, and SO tenacious that when
beaten In the cold 1t becomes nearly
as hard and strong as iron? It con-
ducts heat and electricity as we'll as
silver, but unlike silver 10 slow to tarn-
ish or cOrrode and neither nitric or
muriatic acid will affect It. Aluminium
or aluminium is the name Of this "yon-
derful new metal, that has long been
known to exist and possess all the val
liable properties mentioned; but of
which no one can make use Of, owing
to the expense of extracting It from the
clay.
A German, wOehler, as long ago as
1927 used to produce aluminium from
clay in the form Of powder by a chem
ical process. and twenty-eight years
later q Frenchman learned how to pro-
cure It In larger quantities; but the
cost OF extracting 1t was 800 a pound,
much too expensive to be Of any use to
any one. Recently. however. by the
means Of electricity. II has been dis
covered that aluminium can be readily
and inexpensively taken from clay, and
now In this country and in Europe all
manners of useful and ornamental OBJ
jects are being made Of It. Pots, pans,
scarf-pins, picture-frames. thimbles,
tea-services. dishes and even yacht
keels are manufactured Of the wonder
ful aluminium. that, for Ito light
weight and the fact that Il does not
tarnish proves in many instances vast
ly more useful than steel, tin or silver.
Because 1t ie 20 abundant 1t win be-
come In time the cheapest Of metals.
Even now one can buy for 10 cents a
pretty aluminium thimble that does
not tarnish and will last 40 long an any
one needs. An aluminium kettle, big
enough to boil . ham In, can be lifted
on and of the 0tove ~ lightly az q tin
pan. An aluminium teapot never
needs polishing.

REAL ESTATE WOODEN MILL

Another Instance of Building Mills Out in
the Country to Boom TOwnIots.
The Topeka wooden mill may be said
to be in a comatose condition. The en-
pIoyes and builders liens still hold against
the building with no immediate prospect
of settlement, 80 it may be said that
while the wooden mill may still possess
some degree of life, that fact is not ap-
parent to the casual observer.
The directors of the concern are really
trying hard to adjust the differences ex-
listing between the company and Mr..
Appleyard; and Mr.. Appleyard says that
he is equally anxious for a settlement.
The only barrier now in the way
is the raising of a certain sum of
money. Mr.. Prescott, secretary of the
company, says that Mr.. Appleyard made
proposition to them for settlement to
them, and all the money was raised but
$500, but this sum, small as it may seem,
was sufficient to destroy the hope of set

In his argument against the constitu-
tionality of the income tax Attorney
Seward tries to get around the decision
in the Springer case by saying that the
old income tax law, which was declared
good in that decision, was an emergency
law, and was allowed to stand. by the
courts on account of a pressing necessity.
It will be difficult to convince the Demo
Gratis that there is not a justifable emer-
gency existing now. The government
revenues from other sources do not equal
the expenditures, and if it cannot collect
an income tax where is money to come
from.
