SATURDAY HALF HOLIDAYS.
The New Movement Promises to he
Popular.
10 EAST WASHINGTON STREET.

Mr.. Langen, the resident partner and
manager of the firm of Besten &c Langen,
ladies' outfitters. says the firm will close It's
store every Saturday afternoon during the
summer and that he will also endeavor to
secure the closing OF the retail stores at 6
o'clock every Saturday evening during the
rest of the year.
IT am much in favor of the weekly half
holiday. and have been supporter of the
idea right along" said Mr.. Langen. But
do not think Friday afternoon the right
time II you give any one holiday, why
not give 1t to them all at once? That is, let
their Sunday and holiday come together.
think IL will meet the approval of our
patrons II we give our clerks a half holiday
every Saturday during the summer, and we
will do so. beginning with next Saturday.
"A half days outing on Friday doesn't leave
any one in good shape TO wait on trade Sat-
urday unless he puts in his half day rest
Ing, and the idea of a holiday doesn't mean
rest to many people. Another thing, / think
the stores could close at 6 o'clock Saturday
evening the year round. II the merchants
would act with unanimity In the matter
there would be no falling off in the weekly
volume or trade. Shorter store-keeping
hours really means more business, less ex-
pense and better feeling all around"
The lumber yard and planning mill en-
ployers have fallen into the Saturday half
holiday idea and will close Saturday after
moons during July and August.

THE ST0CKYARDS WAR.
Shfe1 Claims He at Last Has Broken
the Trust.

II did good piece of work to-day said
r. r. Shiel. one of the proprietors of the
new stockyards, last night. II broke the
trust at the old yards and bought 1000 hogs
of J. Davis & Co., the first I've been able
to buy from a member of the Stockyards
Exchange in nine months"
Mr.. Shiei claimed that J. Davis & Co.
would be driven out CT the old yards and
would come over to the new institution
which 1t is expected will be completed and
ready for business about Aug. Is. Mr.. Shiel
says that Mr.. Davis, OF the firm that sold
him the hogs, was fined 800 few days ago
for infraction of the rules Of the ex-
change. and when he refused to pay the
fine the exchange instituted a boycott
against him. This was done, it is alleged,
by combination" against his firm that
prevented it from receiving the market
price for hogs. Yesterday, Mr.. Shiel says,
Davis declined to be a slave" any longer
and volunteered to sell him all the hogs he
wanted. Mr.. Shiers first purchase amounted
to 1000 head.
The management of the new stockyards
says that the pay roll for workmen engaged
in building the yards amounted last week to
5000. Over hundred men were kept busy
all week.

WORN OUT AT LAST.
Death Of Mary Larkin, the Aged
Milk Vendcr.

In the list of death notices this morn
ing appears the simple announcement
of the demise of Mary, wife of the late
Andrew Larlin, a native of Ireland
This means that the little, decrepld
old woman who, for many years had a
small milk route in this city, has sue
cumbed to old age and overwork, Mary
Larkin had a little place at Tenth and
r streets where she kept two or three
cows, milked them herself and delivered
the milk to her customers.
No matter how inclement the weather
whether winters storms or summer S
blistering heat prevailed-the little old
woman toddled along on foot over her
route, carrying a pail in each hand and
personally serving her customers. A
couple of years ago, as her strength
was failing her, some one gave her a
toy wagon, such as children use in
play, and in this she managed to haul
her milk-pails.
For a year past the familiar form OF
the old woman had not been in evil
dence, and now she has passed away
forever-a victim of hard work, ex-
poSure and old age.
