THE BOSTON, CLOSED.
Old Time Clothing Store
Saecumbs- to Dizziness
of Trade.

AS s'The News goes to press, the store
of the W. T. Sullivan Company, at No.
l5o Newark avenue. long known as THE
Boston Clothing Store is closed for
business. The clerks, it is stated, have
instructions not to report until Monday
morning.
It is stated, on good authority, that ap-
plication has been made for the appoints
ment of a receiver for the concern 1t
is also stated that this action has been
taken on account of a heavy Judgment
recorded by a New York wholesale house.
The Boston was for years one of the
largest clothing stores in Jersey City. It
was founded by Gustave Metzler nearly
twenty years ago, and was continued by
his widow after his death in 1891. Mrs
Metzler subsequently married Mr.. W +
sullivan. who in recent years has been
manager Of the establishment.
A new corporation was formed only a
few months ago to continue the business
under Mr.. sullivans name. Some new
features were introduced. but it is said
the business done was not large enough
in volume to cover expenses.

BEWARE OF FOOD sAMPL Es

Quite recently in New York two deaths
occurred from poisoning by the use of
powders sent to the victims by mail In
Leavenworth, Kans., the other day,
nearly every doctor in town was called
to attend the children who had gathered
up. eaten, and been made i'll by samples
of an article left at houses by canvassers
for advertising purposes.
Alum baking powders have always been
favorite articles for this sampling busi-
ness Yet there is nothing more liable to
lead TO danger than the practice of using
the various samples of baking powder left
at the door. They are presented by ire
sponsible parties. in appearance are not
distinguishable from arsenic, and indeed
In Indiana some time since one package
was found, after it had caused the death
of the housewife, TO have been mixed with
that poison.
1t is safer to refuse all samples of food
or medicine offered at the door. Pure
cream of tartar baking powders sell upon
their merits, and are never peddled or
sampled

TO THREATEN VAN WYCK
Parsons Says Strikers Will
Hold Him Responsible
for Defeat.

NEW YORK, July q, S99-General
Master Workmen Parsons, talking about
therailroaG strike today, quoted from an
advertisement which he said had appeared
in Philadelphia and Boston papers and
had been the means of bringing many
men from those cites to New York and
Brooklyn to take the places of the strik-
ers. The advertisement in question
called for experienced conductors and
motormen and offered these terms Pay
81 per day for ten hours work in twelve
Twenty cents an hour overtime
Mr. Parsons said that the Metropolitan
Street Railway Company in New York
and the Rapid Transit Company in
Brooklyn were jointly gathering re-
cruits from other cities to fill the places
Of strikers, and that the advertisement
showed plainly that the companies had
no intention Of complying with the ten
hour law. which says that a days work
shall consist of len consecutive hours
with half an hour for hinner
Mr. Parsons also said that at the meet
ing to be held in Grand Central Palace
tonight the representatives of organized
labor will be asked to join their forces
and wait upon Mayor Van Wyck to de-
mand. in behalf of fair play, that he
withdraw the police force from the em-
ploy of the railway corporations and con-
fine them strictly to police duty, at the
same time informing him that organized
labor will hold him responsible for the
defeat of the strikers.

NEW YORK TO HAVE ALeER's JOB
EIihu Root and General Greene
Talked of.

WASHINGTON, July q. 1S99.-Up to
noon today the best information obtaina-
bic at the White House was to the effect
that the President had not up TO that
time formally rendered the War Portfolio
"a any one. That New York is to have
the vacancy caused in the Cabinet caused
by the resignation of Secretary Alger,
however, there appeared to be little doubt
and there was a general impression up to
the time the Cabinet met that Mr.. Nc
Kinley had practically made up his mind
to offer the War ONCE to Elihu Root, the
distinguished New York lawyer
But it is said that the New York or
ganization headed by Governor Roose-
velt and Senator Platt, had urged the
selection of General Francis V. Greene.
1t was reported from New York last
night that General Greene had been sum-
moned to Washington by the President,
but this was denied emphatieally and up
to noon he had notNappeared at tho
White House. The report that the place
had been offered to Ambassador Porter
was also denied
Secretary Alger has abandoned the In
tention he entertained of quitting as soon
as Mr.. Meiklejohn arrived and has con-
Secretary of War until the date set for
his resignation. August l. Acting upon
this determination. he went over to the
Cabinet meeting at eleven o'clock today,
taxing With hllh q NUMBER u routine
matters.
There was nothing to indicate at the
Cabinet meeting today that any change
was impending in the Presidents official
family. Secretary Alger was present and
brought with him q considerable amount
Of business from the war department,
which was thoroughly discussed. It re-
lated to matters Of administration in Gu
ba ana some arrangements be ng made for
the organization pf troops intended for
the Philippines. The proceedings were

course, In the presence Of Secretary All

Becker told his father that he had been
swimming during the afternoon. but sub

father fears that his son has been
