One Of the largest retail dry goods
houses In New York city Is considering
the advlsability of starting a school of
it's own for Its cash girls, somewhat
after the system that Is in operation in
several of the large Chicago stores. In
Chicago 1t was found that the cash girls
employed in the big stores were glad Of
an opportunity to get an education and
earn living at the same time. Most
of them are helping support family
and they could not afford to give up
their small salary and go to school.
Business does not begin in earnest in
these department stores much before
10 o'clock. Some of the girls attend
the school from half-past eight until
ten In the morning, and second divis-
ion receive instruction early in the
afternoon. These schools have been
found to make the cash girls more dill
gent in their work and give them ambl-
tion to improve themselves.

Jorge Montt, whose term ends next
December, was constltutionally ineligi-

there are charges that the influence Of

After ten years trial Of Sunday law
In New Orleans, 1t has been decided to
abandon 1t as impracticable. During
these ten years, however, the law has
been enforced only three months, and
that spasmodically, a couple Of Sun
days at the time. The city officials
have testified unanimously against the
law, saying that it took the entire po-
lice force to support It, and that in the
criminal courts the murder and other
more important cases have been crowd
ed from the docket by the immense
number of Sunday law violations. A

Their feet will be held up from the
ground by leather strap and a spring
connecting the heel Of the shoes with
the leg near the body. This will re-

supporting the feet, and the spring Is
intended to prevent undue jerking

protected by pneumatic bags covered
on top with chamois skin, and on the
bottom with sole leather to make them

The Volunteer Army has reached the
point where the stability and success
of the new organization seem assured.
The partial details Of Its growth In this
time were given to the public in a spe-
clal united rally of the forces of the
Northwest, and the statement then
made by Col. Fielding, the head of the
Western contingent, must be gratifying
to the hosts of friends Of the plucky
little band. When the new movement
was started as an independent and
strictly American body the headquar-
ters In Chicago consisted Of small
room, one chair and one table, all do
mated. Now 1t Is announced that nego-
tiations practically have been COM
pleted by which the Volunteers will OBJ

rooms and fitting equipment, and be-
sides this two city lots, valued at $10,-
600, have been presented to the army

perity has complemented n rapid and
large numerical growth, for Col. Field
Ing reports that the army now includes
nearly 1000 members, scattered among
LOG posts, of which forty-seven are In
the Northwest In Illinois alone there
are twenty-five organized posts and 1875
commissioned officers. In New York
the army has a fine building on Union
Square, from which It publishes It's

striking feature Of tbs conspicuous sue
