ALBANY, Feb. 13.-The question OF fwhcther or
not BARRIERS should be allowed to carry on their
trade on Sunday was considered by the Assem-
bly, Committee on General Laws this afternoon.
Several bills relating to the question have been
introduced in the Legislature. They are MS fol-
lows: Mr.. McGraw's making the laws closing
barber shops on Sunday general throughout the
State; Mr.. Audett's, exemptng Brooklyn as
we'll as New York and Saratoga from the opera
tions of the Sunday Closing law; Mr.. French's,
permitting barber shops to remain open until
p. NJ. on Sunday. and MIR. Messiters. repeating
the law passed last year. The law which 10
sought to be repealed prohibits Sunday opening
of barber shops evcryw where except in tho city OF
New York and In Saratoga Springs.
When Chairman Horton of the committee an
nounced that Mr.. McCraw's bill would first be
taken up Mr.. SteenburR of Troy said that he
appeared In opposition to all bills which sought
to repeal or In any way change existing laws
He said that he drafted the bill which passed
last year. and In preparing 1t represented ma
he had drafted It did not propose to allow bar
bering on Sunday In any part OF the state. In
sDms smpsea Yark Oess city and Saratoga Springs
The boss BARRIERS OF the State, he said. were as q
ali aim men were sntited to one day Of rest in the
week.
Barber Brens OF Rochester. who claimed to
represent 95 per cent. OF the BARRIERS OF the
State. advocated the passage OF the Mciraw
bill. The BARRIERS who favored Sunday opening.
he said. represented only per cent of the bar:
bers Of the State, and were composed OF hotel
largest shops in Rochester, and he had discov-
cred that he had not lost a cent by the law
which closed tho shops: His customers now
came Saturday instead OF Sunday.
w. E. klaptskey Of New York city, President or, t
Freckelton OF tho American Federation Of
Labor and James H. Dulin of the state Work
ingmen's Ass ociatlon also favored the bill.
the law was favored by William Bohmen OF
the State Boss BARRIERS Association. Sunday
shaving he said, had been a habit since the
world began. 1t was as much habit as WAS
drinking beer. His customers we're leaving him
and taking private lessons n shaving because
Joseph FiIitti OF Albany also opposed the Nc
Graw bill. because he had lost on an average
$50 week. This closed the hearing.

PETITION FOR M,xANE,s PARDON.
II Is Signed by His Counsel. q. w. Roderick,
Only, and 10 Presented to the Governor.

ALBANY, Feb. 13.-George w. Roderick OF
Brooklyn to-day filed with Gov. Morton an ap.
plication for the pardon Of John y. McKane of
Gravesend. who is serving n sx-year term in
Sing Sing prison. This term expires in March.
1898. In the petition stress is laid upon Nc
Kane's previous good character, and the fact
that If he had totally DESTROYED or mutilated
the registry lists he would have been guilty Of
a misdemeanor only. punishable by one years
imprisonment.
bers OF the Registry Board 10 refuse to allow
any person who applied to examine tho reg
istry lists. and was convicted OF a felony, pul
ishable by from two to ten years in state prison.
The plea for mercy and clemency in his be-
half, made by the jury in the strongest possible
language. Is held to be alone and aside from
the other considerations offered In Mcknne' s
behalf sufficient to justify the pardon Mt the
minimum term prescribed for the offence.
The Jettion In conclusion suggests that jus
tice Willard Bartlett. the trial Judge, and the
Hon. Benjamin, +. TRACY and Edward NJ. shep
give opinions on the merits OF 1t now,
The only sgner to the petition is Mr.. Roder-
lett some weeks ago sent communication to
Gov. Morton saying that he could see no good
reason for McKane's pardon.
Justice bartlett, who presided nt the trial and
the prosecuting attorneys. Alessrs Tray and
clemency. McKanc's friends think they can
secure the aid OF these three gpntenlen and an
effort Is being made to show the Governor that
McKanc was sentenced at time when public
sentiment ran high on account OF election
the sentence Was doubly excessive under all
the circumstances.

EDUCATIONAL.
Such is O~hautauqua Work at the Present
Time-What Kate Kimball and the
Schools are Doing.

The threatening aspect of the weather
last evening precluded a large attend
ance at the auditorium, but the chorus
drill was none the less thorough, the
orchestra none the less enjoyable,nor the
lecture none the less instructive.
Mrs. Dawson Of the Philadelphia
school of oratory, and her daughter,
Florence, recited two choice selections,
the former from Dickens and the latter
a negro nursery sketch. Both were ex-
cellently characterized and we'll
received.
The Assembly chorus is we'll patron
lied for the beginning and exhibits a
new phase in musical aggregation to
Prof. Kratz, 10 having more tenor than
base singers. The chorus is making good
progress in the Cantata of Ruth and
Boaz." Prof. Kratz has also Is members
in his vocal drill class at 10 a. m.
Prof. Cooper's lecture on Bismarck"
was more Of a class talk than lecture and
quite analytic Of the "Iron Man" and
his place in history. Although Bis
marck is still a modern characther there
was much in the philosophy of history
and the part he played the past forty
years in making it on the continent Of
Europe, that was new concerning him to
the ordinary reader, to be derived from
the professors talk.
AS the educational, rather than the
entertainment, idea is the prominent one
as yet on the Chautauqua grounds, we
have to deal with what we find. Miss
Kate Kimball is the center Of attraction
in Chautauqua matters proper, and
read a paper to-day on "poets and
poetry" which was an inspiration
in itslf to her hearers. She also ques-
toned her hearers and caused them to
feel how much they have lost by not cul
tivat;ng "a taste for poetry. Her sug-
gestions for practical Chautauqua work
and reading throughout the year are
we'll received.
Before Miss Kimball leaves tomorrow
for Spirit Lake she will be given a short
audience by nsarly all on the ground, a,
either the auditorium or the hotel. She
visits only four Chautauquas this year
and then returns to headquarters. Madi.
son Assembly has thus been highly
favored.
CHAUTAUQUA NOTES.
Director Kratz says he has an enroll
ment already of fifty in the summer
schools and expects q large influx to
morrow and the first OF the week. Prof
Young in his school Of political economy
at 10 q. m. has q good class to begin with
but would like many more as be will
give q course OF lectures in the school il
which he would like to see interest taken
Prof. Young tried hard the past year t.
secure q few popular lectures by prom
inent economists at this Chautauqua bul
utterly failed, but will supplement then
as best he can by work and. lectures O
his own and invites everybody in te
hear him.
