Thomas Day & Co.
The following letter was received:
Gentlemen: AS a taxpayer and freeholder
of this city and county / take the liberty TO ask
your cooperation In matter ID which all mer-
chants are equally interested. | beg TO call
your attention to the time OF closing our pub
lie schools for the so-cailed summer vacation.
1t will certainly be self-evident to every BUSH
ness man that the month OF June Is not at all
appropriate for the long vacation. From a
business point OF view 1t Is most inappropri-
ate. for In the month OF June the merchants
are In the very midst of spring and summer
trade and declaring vacation for that month,

the city, trade is, in consequence, brought al
most to a standstill. A June vacation is equally
undesirable in regard 70 hygiene. La June we
rarely have any warm days, usually the con-

children should be kept in their homes and at
school during that month. Instead thereof let
the Board OF Education declare summer

of August. This will be the means OF keeping
our people at home until July, there will be no

HALEY'S LITTLE LEGACY.
He Leaves the County Clerks Office
In Bad Shane.

County Clerk Curry is having a fright
full time in getting things in shape in bis
office. Haley not only left the office all
upside down, but in a filthy condition.
Dust and dirt are being shovelpd up in
baskets and carted away to the dumps.
The new County Clerk is bound to have
his apartment looking respectable if it
takes weeks to DO H..
But what surprised Mr. Curry most was
when he came TO transact business. Doubt
less he had heard what "a model officer
Haley had been. and how every
thing was run il appl. pie order, but
when Mr.. Curry's clerks examined things
what a revelation. In the first place they
could not fud a pen or pencil, TO say
nothing about any paper. The blanks
were all gone and only seven marriage
licenses were discovered on the shelves.
Within few hours after Curry had taken
possession these were used up, and then
the clerks had to send downtown for
stationery in order that the marriage bust
ness might not be delayed. Licenses had
to be copied in Ink until the printer could
turn some out. This was a pitiable state
of affairs for an official who passed as a
reformeT.
clerks were at least three montfs behiDd
in their work. The bonds in the probate
courts were scattered about on the desks.
Some of these documents had been there
since July. The law says that they should
be entered twenty DAYS after they were
flied, 1t will take the present clerks
months to catch up the work left undone
under the so-called Haley economical
regime.

GOT HIS ROOM FREE.
Louis Cohen Says He Stayed at the
Hotel.
He Had a Key to a Room Unknown to
the Hotel PeOple-Why He
Registered There.

When the trial of Louis Cohen for per-
iury was resumed before Judge Wallace
and jury yesterday morning. the first
witness called was clerk or the Baldwin
hotel called French. This witness cor
roborated the testimony given by Brush
Hardenbergh the day before to the effect
that Cohen had not at any time resided at
the Baldwin Hotel.
This closed the prosecution. and the
defense called A. A. Seldner, a New York
drummer. Seldner said that he stopped
at the Baldwin when in the city. Cohen
had several times shared his bed there,
and be left baggage behind him in the
shape of one shirt collar.
Cohen then took the stand in his own
behalf. He said he slept at the Baldwin
on the nights Of October /, 2, 3, 4, 5. 1t
was on the Sd that he registered. He slept
with friend named Bennett, who is en-
ployed as room CLERK. Bennett gave him a
key to room on the upper floor, and he
often slept there without the knowledge of
the hotel people. Cohen admitted that he
registered from the hotel for the purpose
of voting at the election.
Cohen declared that he had worked in
the Republican Committee rooms address,
ing envelopes. Unfortunately, during the
progress of the Stilwell vs. Evans trial he
had testified that he did not know where
the committee-roonls were. He further
testified that Hardenb ergh had seen him
with key to room and had tried to take
it away from him.
"What did you pay for your room in the
hotel ?" asked Judge Wallace.
Not cent" was the candid answer.
Cohen said he had only bowling ac-
unaintance with Senator Mahoney. In
cross-examination he denied thai he had
ever stated that be had not lived at the
Baldwin. Then the records in the Stilwell
case were produced to show that he had
made such a statement.
Another drummer named SchweitZer tes-
tilted that on October he saw Cohen at
the Baldwin. He occupied room next to
his upon the fifth floor. But the hotel
records were produced to show that
Schweitzer occupied a room on the third
floor, not the fifth. He stayed there from
October to 6. and again from the 18th to
the 25Ih 1t was on the latter visit that he
occupied room on the fourth floor.
Altogether the case is in very mixed up
state. 1t will 60 to the jury probably on
Monday next

MANY VITO SEEM TO BIZ ACTING A
FOOLISH PART.
Are Not Satisfied by Going About
Quietly.
THEY HURRY And WORRY, THEN DON'T
GEE SLEEP.
Paine's Celery Compound Their Best
Relief.

In prescribing Paine's celery compound
for patient the other day San Francisco
physician. who is a specialist in nervous
difficulties, declared that there were
thousands of such women who were liter
ally killing themselves by too rapid move
ments.
"They are not satisfied" said he, with
going about doing things in quiet, ordi-
nary way. but rush through with their
work and ruin their health as fast as they
can. So firmly fixed is this habit that they
run up and down stairs when there is no
need for hurry.
"They not only rush but worry, and be-
tween these two subject their nervous
system to more wear and tear than any,
thing short of wrought steel could endure"
Whatever the cause, our women. our
young gIls and even business men are
rapidly growing more and more nervous.
Professor Phelps, the great Dartmouth
scientist, saw this alarming state of things
and concentrated all his energy to remedy
ing it. 1t was from the formula of this
eminent student and thinker that Paine's
celery compound was prepared.
Its success in restoring nerve-strength
and building up the WORKOUT body repaid
the years of study and investigation that
Professor Phelps cOnscientiously devoted
to the diseases of the stomach and the
kidneys, the result of impure blood ana
i'm poverished nerves. The astonishing re-
suits that have come from its careful use
have been the subject of discussion in al
the prominent newspapers and magazines
in this country, Canada and throughout
Great Britain.
The record of this great blood cleanser,
from the time of its discovery up to the
present daY, has been marvellous one.
It has cured literally thousands Of cases
of nervous debility, rheumatism, kidney
and heart troubles. and has made sound
sleep possible to countless men and
women whose irritable and impoverished
nerves were slowly draining them of
vita litV.

Delightful Concert to Commemorate
Their Sixteenth Anniversary.
The Native Sons of the Green Mountain
commonwealth celebrated their sixteenth
anniversary as an organization at Odd
Fellows Hall last night.
The descendants of Ethan Allen were
out to the exercises in large mum Ders. An
attractive dancing programme at the end
of the ceremonies was doubtless a good
drawing card, as most of the people pres
ent were OF the younger element.
The evenings entertainment was inau-
gurated by one of Balfe's charming con-
lralto solos entitled 1.-THE Day Is Dcue,"
sung by Miss Charlotte Weir and accom-
panIea 10y Mss Lizzie Weir.
Frank r. Hayes did some very clever
specially work. "A Little Bunch of
Wnlskers" seemed to be quite catching.
One of the most delightful musical num-
bers on the programme was doubtless
soprano solo by Mrs. Eva Tenney. She
was followed by mandolin and harp duet
by the Marine brothers.
A humorous recitation, "Oh N.Y." re-
cited by Mrs. Gray CrittendeD, took the
house by storm. Mrs. CritteDdeh's i'm per-
sonations of little child were very clev-
erly executed.
The next number was a tenor solo by
William Russell Hervey, with q mandolin
Obligato by Miss Marie Gator. Professor
Hervey is certified graduate or Lam
peril of Milan, Italy.
The Original Acme male quartet (col-
ored) rendered some of their old plantation
melodies. This is the first appearance of
the colored gentlemen in this city. Their
efforts last night marked them as artists
in their profession. The quartet was COM
posed of: II. Smith, first tenor; Charles
Dung, second tenor; e. Estes, first bass !;
5. +. Watson, second bass.
At 10 O'Clock the seats were cleared

ORANGES FOR THE EAST.
The Failure of the Florida Crop In
CreaseS the Demand.

According to the telegraphic dispatches
from the East the orange crop of Florida,
which was so severely injured by the frost,
is being pretty we'll distributed through
out Northern markets with an idea of re-
alizing something upon them before they
become thawed out and are a total loss.
In some instances though dealers are OBJ
Jecting to this flooding the market with
fruit that has no other merit than that ii
is cheap as long as it remains frozen. As
a result they are refusing to handle it, and
are sending orders out for California
oranges.
Local dealers say that orders have come
very rapidly in the past few days, and, as
the Florida crop is about ruined. the de-
mand for the future will increase. They
complain, however, that the Southern
growers have taken advantage of the stu
alton to raise the price of the fruit almost
half a dollar box. They think this an
uDwise movement and one that will tend
TO injure the Eastern trade. In such an
event. they say, Eastern orders may
dwindle, and then the LEGAL market would
be glutted. with disastrous drop in prices
all around to follow.
