NO HALF HOLIDAYS,
Two Firms Failed to Sign the Agree
ment for Saturday Closing.

The effort to induce the wholesale groce-
ry merchants on the Bay to agree to close
their stores at o'clock Saturday after
moons, beginning to-day, throughout the
summer, came to naught yesterday Two
firms declined to sign the agreement. 1t
now seems very probable that the clerks
and other employees of the wholesaler rs
will get no Saturday half-holidays this
season.
One of the demurring firms declined to
sign because certain stipulations could
not be agreed upon by all affected The
failure of two firms TO sign left the major

tunities If others were to remain open.

CHANGES IN TRINITY CHURCH.
improvements to Be Made in the
Church Building.

Rev. Bascom Anthony and the officers
OF Trinity Church have decided TO make
number of improvements 10 the build
ing during the next month or two. The
organ will be moved from it's present DO
sition in the choir loft and will placed
behind the pulpit, and the building VIII
be reprinted, the color scheme differing
materially from that now in the church
Electric lights will also be one of the new
and probably most appreciated of the i'm
provements.
The amount of money necessary for the
work will be, and is being raised, by
popular subscription among the members
of the congregation, who have responded
most literally. 1t is quite possible that
the amount secured may be sufficient to
invest in new organ after paying for
the renovating of the building

more serious every year. The price OF

many respects their case In typical, and
the number of acutely disappointed
people hunting for lost dates il con-

There seems to be an inequality in
the privileges extended 10 those who
want to fnd out about these matters.
Take the case OF the man who. for
some reason. wants TO examine the re-
cords Of an old Dutch church which has
long since removed He searches the IL
braries, consults the file Of an old news
paper that started just before the
church disappeared, examines every

1t is strange that the inextinguishable

time the searchers for these precious

The Boston Journal attempts TO
find consolation, for the losses which
men are now suffering, from huge
falling in prices. in this way. which it
calls "a natural reaction" the rise
being something abnormal:"
The general business situation is
undergoing reaction al the present
time that. while calculated to create
some apprehension. is none the less
10 the minds of those who look below
the surface most healthy. Last years
business expansion was something alb
normal. Prices advanced at rapid
rate and demand was so active for all
staple products that many OF the pro-
ducers' were unable 10 keep UP with ii.
The natural outcome of this condition
of affairs was 70 produce beyond act
ual requirements, and now that the de-
mand has slackened somewhat. in
dustrial concerns are finding them
selves loaded with surplus stocks. OF
course. under the circumstances, the
only remedy is through curtailment
of product and reduction of prices.
This remedy was applied some time
since to the iron and steel trade. and is
now being gradually extended to all
other lines of industry. or course. the
process Is disagreeable one. and 1t
Is creating q disposition on the part of
buyers TO hold OFF in placing their or
ders. in the hope that still lower level
will yet be reached"
The whole scheme was for the pur-
pose Of robbing the people. and the
people having been robbed, and their
money invested in secure quarters, such
discussions as this by the Journal is Ia
order. Will the rank and file never give
unto themselves moments thought
