the East has been the rule for number
of years and must be satisfactory to
both employers and employed, since
there are no signs of abandoning it. 1t
adds:
| If all will agree to close on Saturday
afternoons nobody will lose any trade.
The inconvenience to the purchasing
public is more imaginary than real,
since the public itself is supposed to
| be interested in the holiday, and soon
adapts itself to the circumstances. The
store and office folk will do just as
much work under the half-holiday plan,
and they will do it better than if the
hot weeks of summer bring no secular
/ day relief Sunday will be better OBJ
served. If people can go to baseball
matches and bicycle races and similar
sports on Saturday afternoon, they will
not seek to make a continental Sunday
of the Los Angeles Sabbath day.
1t has been urged against the half
holiday that it will interfere with what
is known as market and trading
night" namely, Saturday evening,
when all shops and stores are open I'M
]
anyone that this is simply custom
that can as we'll be abandoned as not?
Is there any real necessity for stretch
ing the working hours of clerks and
shop employees to 10 and II at night on
Saturdays?
1t is repeatedly announced that social
events dated for Saturday evening VIII
not take place until 10 or IL p. m, in
order to give store employees an oppor-
tunity to participate. True, social
events might be fixed for an earlier
date in the week, but it very often hap
| pens that such affairs must be held
on Saturday, and from all such the
store worker is debarred attendance,
except at so late an hour that it is OBJ
jectionable on physical score, the use
Of late hour when weary workers
ought to be in bed
Such an event is before us in Sacra-
mento now. An excursion of members
of an association in San Francisco
comes to this city on Saturday night of
| izations. But though the visitors ar
rive at s they must perforce wait until
| after 10 before they can meet their
friends, so many of them being en-
ployes in establishments that hold it
to be necessary to stretch the business
day over a good part of the night.
The half-holiday is step in progress,
and in social and physical betterment.
1t is a moral advance likewise. 1t will
bring men to their work on Monday in
better condition for duty doing, and ac-
tually more will be accomplished by
such workers than where they crowd
their recreation into Sunday and run
counter to the Sunday observance sem
timent. The half-holiday will tend to
withdraw US from the Latin state GUS
toms, which make Sunday so largely
| day of revel. 1t will therefore tend to
better our civilization and to invite to
California more of the desirable home
seekers who regard our present method
of making Sunday a day of sport with
something akin to horror.

CITY TREASURER RESIGNS.
Custodian of Minneapolis Cash
Box Became Involved Through
Bank Failures.

Minneapolis, Mimi, Jan. pa. c..
Haugan, treasurer of the city of Mime
apolis, rendered his resignation to the
mayor today He assigns as the reason
failure to secure bonds in order to qualify
under his reelection. Mr.. Haugan has
been treasurer four years and was re-
elected for two years more at the last
election. He has lost considerabl
money, however, through bank failures,
and his present embarrassment is the
cause of his inability to secure bonds
men. 1t is understood that the net loss
will be in the neighborhood of 100000,
which amount, it is expected, will ulti-
mately fall upon the city at large.
He has handled some $16,0OO,0OO dur
ing the last four years of depression, and
while this shortage taken in a lump
seems like a considerable sum. it is but
little over IL per cent. of the entire
funds entrusted to his care, which is per-
haps not an unfayorable showing when
compared with the experience of other
business concerns throughout the country
handling like amount of money. The
total amount tied up in banks suspended
is nearly $450,00O, but more than half
Of this will be realized in the settlements.

that He is Sure to Sue
coed Sherman.

Cleveland, O., Jan. educational Chair
man M. A. Hanna was busily engaged to-
day in receiving and comforting with the
numerous visitors, who were constantly
coming and going.
Ever since the legislative reunion and
banquet at Columbus there has been a
growing feeling in well-informed politi-
cal circles that the naming of Mr.. Han
na as the successor of Senator John
Sherman by Gov. Bushnell is well-nigh
a certainty. This opinion is not alone
confined to Mr.. Hanna's friends, but is
now even admitted by those who have
opposed him as candidate for the Sen
ate.
''Gov. BUSHNELL said politician Of
national reputation today. has every
thing to gain if he names Mr.. Hanna and
nothing to lose On the other hand, in
the face of the general sentiment in
favor of the latter should he select some
other man for the place it would mean
political suicide
At 3 o'clock this afternoon Mr.. Hanna
will leave for Canton to consult with
the President-elect on numerous matters
of Importance. He will remain as the
guest of Maj. Mckinley until tomorrow

Against the Sturgeon Bay
Canal Company.

Washington. D. c., Jan. 25.-[Spe
cial Commissioner Lamoreux today
heard arguments in land contest in
which the parties are the state of Wis
consin and the Sturgeon Bay Canal COM
pany. In this case the government
made land grant to the state of Wis
consin for the benefit of the Sturgeon
Bay Canal company. The land was to
be certified to the company in sections
as the canal was completed at later
date. But before the lands were certi-
fed to the company the state had Sc
lected about 2O0O acres Of it as swamp
land. This selection is contested by the
company on the ground that the land
is a part of the canal grant and cannot
therefore be selected by the state This
land is very valuable and is situated
near Green Bay.
In the argument today Attorney Cen
cral My1rea, who, with Assistant Gen
eraI Erdall, represented the state, of
fered to reconvey the land to the United
States provided swamp patent was is
sncd to the state. The proposition was
not accepted by the opposition. repre-
scented by Attorney Mariner of Alilwau-
kee. Judge LamoreuX reserved his de-
GiSiOn.

WENT DOWN A PRECIPICE.
Twenty Persons Badly Injured
While Enjoying Sleighing Party
Near Altoona, Pa.

Altoona, Pa, Jan. 26.-About 10 o'clock
last night a Shedding party of forty per-
sons from Tyrone drove in on quarry at
Pemberton, six miles below thar place.
The sled, horses and pleasure seekers
were precipitated fifty feet to the bot
tom of precipice where they lay in
great mass. Twenty persons were bad
ly injured.
AS soon as the news reached Tyrone,
a special train was fitted out and all the
doctors in the town were conveyed to
the scene. The party was mostly made
up of young people. Boys and girls with
arms and legs broken and with blood
streaming from their wounds lay in
drifts of snow. The mercury stood at
3 degrees below zero adding to the hor-
ror of the catastrophe. The following
is partial list:

MAKING A SURVEY.
Plan to Harness the Water Power Along
the MenOminee River.

Appleton, Wis, Jan. 27ISpecial i
G. Il. Pride, the hydraulic engineer and
paper mill architect, left yesterday for
the MenOminee river country where he
IS to make a survey of certain water
powers i'll the interest of the development
of the biggest undertaking in the way of
the transmission of power ever under
taken in the Northwest. There are three
water powers which it is proposed to i'm
prove, situated at different points on the
from eight to twelve miles from the
cities OF Marinette and Menominee.
These water powers will, when improved,
develop several thousand horse power
which it is proposed to trapsmit by cleo
tricity to the cities named in the way
that has been done between Niagara
Falls and Buffalo,
Mr.. Pride has two engineers working
in that region NOW and took another up
with him yesterday. The surveys will
be made for several miles on each side
of the river to determine how much, if
any, land would be overfowed by the
proposed dams necessary to improve the
powers in question, and from the data
gained complete plans of the proposed
Improvement will be made. The COM
pany which is to execute the project is
already formed, and all the preliminary
work necessary to put the enterprise on
a definite footing will be performed at
once. 1t is probable, however. that the
actual work of improving the powers
and putting in the e:ectric transmission
plant will not be undertaken before the
season of 1898

FLED FROM FLAMES.
The Family of Charles j. Barnes
Has a Narrow Escape at
Chicago.

Chicago, Ill.,, Jan 25.-The four-story
residence of Charles J. Barnes, 223S Cal
umet avenue, was destroyed by fire at 2
o'clock this morning. Mr.. Barnes is in
New York and Mrs. Barnes and four
servants were asleep in the house when
the fire broke out. With the thermom-
eter 10 degrees below zero they were
forced to flee in scant clothing to save
their lives. A maid named Kitty was
overcome by smoke and was carried out
by the firemen.
Mr.. Barnes is the Western manager
of the American Book company. For
years he had been collecting rare and
valuable books and his library is said to
have been one of the finest in the United
States. This was entirely destroyed and
with the damage to the buildings and
furnishings will make the loss over $780,,
000
The neighborhood is one of the most
aristocratic in the city and the fire caused
great excitement. Neighbors rushed into
the street poorly clad and offered Mrs.
Barnes all the assistance possible. On
account of the bitter cold and high
wind the firemen worked under great
disadvantage.
At 3 O'Clock the blaze spread to the
residence of the A. III. Cohen estate at
2234. Abram Cohen, who is ii with ty
phold fever. was carried from his bed
to the residence of A. 3. Adams opposite.
A large portion of the contents of the
Cohen residence was carried into the
street and saved. The damage here is
estimated at $4,000.
The fire originated in the Barnes resi-
dence from electric light wires which
had become crossed. The losses are fully
covered by insurance
August Taylor, 80 years old, laborer,
was suffocated by smoke in fire at =
o'clock this morning in the frame build
ing at 28O7 Wentworth avenue. The
explosion Of a kerosene lamp caused the
blaze. The loss was nominal.
Fire burst forth last night in West
Twelfth street, contrasting in it's fury
with the quiet of the bitter cold, and
made the terrors of the night still more
fearful to the poor people that came
within it's range.
AS a result of the Burning the plants of
the Greenlie Bros. & Co., the Greenlie
Foundry company, and the storerooms of
the Northwestern Stove Repair company,
229 to 235 West Twelfth street, were
destroyed, twenty families in the ada
cent district were forced to move their
belongings, and three fremen and Il
Waterman employed by the Northwest
ern establishment were injured.
Incidental TO the fire and the occasion
Of some of the injuries was the rescue of
a fire company by their comrades, after
facing death for time on the second
floor of q burning building. The loss
was estimated at figures varying from
100000 to 100000. The amount of
insurance, if any, is unknown. With
exciting incidents followed swiftly from
the hour of Z, when the alarm was
turned in, until the last engine had been
Slgnaled to cease throwing it's stream.

AGAINST EX-GOV. LONG.
Secure a Cabinet Place for T.
Jefferson Coolidge.

Chicago, ILL.,, Jan. 25.-William E. Cur
It's, Washington correspondent of the
Record, says: Senator Hoar, who is
not at all satisfied with the selection of
ex-Goy. Long for the navy department,
has succeeded in effecting a combination
of all the senators from New England in
favor of the appointment of L. Jefferson
Coolidge of Boston as secretary of the
treasury on the ground that if the Presi-
dent-elect intends to take a member of
his cabinet from that section they would
prefer Mr.. Coolidge to Mr.. Long. Mr..
Coolidge is the president and general
manager of the famous Am0skeag cotton
works at Manchester, the largest in the
United States. He is interested in other
manufacturing enterprises. is the chief
man in the Old Colony Trust company
and the Old Colony Railroad company,
has been extensively identified with
Western as we'll as New England rail
roads, and has even gone into South
America, where he is the chief owner of
Z railroad line in Colombia. Having
great wealth, the highest degree of social
accomplishments, a thorough knowledge
of the world and literary culture, Mr.
Coolidge is looked upon as the first per-
son of Boston, and, through his mother,
is Il descendant Of Thomas jefferson.
No man yields Il greater influence fnan-
cialIy, socially and politically in New
England, and genuine Yankees all bow
their heads when his name is mentioned.
Mr.. Coolidge is all overseer of Harvard
college, but has never held Il political
office, unless his service as a delegate to
the international American conference
and as minister to France may be con-
sidered as such.
therefore it will be realized that SEN
ator Hoar has selected a very powerful
man to knock out Gov. Long, unless the
latter's personal relations with Maj. Nc
Kinley are strong enough to offset the
combined influence of Senators Hale and
Frye, Chandler and Gallinger, Morrill,
and Wetmore, Platt and Hawley, who
represent the six New England states"
