For Further Early Closing.

To the Editor of The Evening Star:
In several editions of your popular and
independent paper 1 notice you have argued
the why's and wherefores of the summer
early closing movement" a most COM
mendable move on the part of The Star
You can rest assured it is appreciated by
the thousands of clerks in this city. 1t is
an indisputable fact and has been demon
strated that early closing can be adopted
without any detrment to the employer.
But there is one class of men who say they
would like to do it on principle but cam
not in actual practice-that is the retail
clothing.
The clothing clerks of this city are work.
ed harder than in other cities. They go to
work on Saturday at 30 am, and are on
their feet until IL 30 o'clock pm. The
friends of the clerks and the public gener-
ally are laboring under a wrong opinion,
thinking they get halliday holiday on legal
holidays-such is not the case. They work
until 10 o'clock the evening previous, and
until 1 O'Clock of the holiday, and includ-
ing their dinner hour. which they are de-
prived Of there is really no loss of time to
the employer. and not one minute holiday
given to this class of clerks. All other
branches of business close all day on legal
holidays; now let these men do the least
they can for their clerks. close their stores
at $40 O'Clock Saturday night during the
summer. and close all day on legal holi-
days. There is one class of people who are
at fault for this keeping open on half
holidays, and they themselves enjoy more
holidays than any other claSS-the govern
ment clerks. But go into store on a holl-
day and you will recognize nine out of ten
as being such. l hope this will meet with
your approval also that you will give it a
place in your valuable and enterprising
paper. CLERK.

AN IMPORTANT ARREST.
Believed to Have Committed Many
Recent Burglarfea.


An important arrest was made IN George
town Saturday, viz, that of Joseph Graham
alias "Toughy." said to be the person who
mas committed numerous burglaries Of
late-three of them in Georgetown. One
was at Byng's drug store, where the
money drawer was rifsd the second was
at Scheeles' meat store, where miscelja
neous stuff was stolen, ard the third,
Pierce & Lawtons carriage mandatory
Al the last place strong effort was made
to enter the safe of the firm, but the bur-
glar succeeded in only knocking of the
handle and combination projection on the
door. Attempts were made to enter several
other places here, but without success.
Graham Is alleged to be the fellow who
was surprised at Quigleys drug store in
the first ward and shot at the discovering
officer.
The burglar is but nineteen years old, but
well developed. 1t is said he has already
served penitentiary term. He was caught
Saturday afternoon through the efforts of
Detective Burrows, who has been working
hard on the case and Officers Sam Bur-
rows and Ramey PaSseno. He led these
officers big chase. He was hauled ur
IN Washington, next to Payne's coach fac
tory, near 18th street, where he had hid
den himself under the steps of a cottage
A dog betrayed him. He had eluded TIA
officers and they were passing on. when
the barking of dog arrested their atten-
s'oAi- iHcy HNcSliSdttu anu iOCdteu lnelr
man. He has acknowledged the Scheele
burglary, and a little pumping, 1t is
thought, will bring forth a wholesale con-
fession.
His arrest was the outcome of his sus-
picious actions of late Several times he
has been seen upon the street at hours
when all good citizens were in bed. When
he was approached he would run. His
previous bad character, coupled with this
conduct, brought forth his arrest
There seems to be no doubt among the
officers as to his guilt. Graham told The
Star man this morning that the blamed
officers were too smart in running peo-
pie in that hadn't done nothing" He
owned up to a previous arrest that was
terminated at the penitentiary. The pris-
oner says his home Is on the Canal road
near the college pond. He has had no
employment for many months.
Graham's alias '"Toughy'' is indicative
of his acquaintances' opinion of him. His
style is extensively tough.
Graham was given meat tomatoes and
bread last night for supper. but he loudly
com planned to The Star that it was food
mot fit for a dog to eat
