SUNDAY CLOSING.

All the barber shops were closed
last Sunday by order of Constable
Hardy Magee. The sections of the
Annotated Code of 1892 under which
Constable Magee acted, are published
below:
1901 (2949. Sabbath; violation of
generality any person, on the first
day of the week, commonly called
Sunday, shall himself labor at his own
or any other trade, calling or business,
or shall employ his apprentice or ser
want in labor or other business, except
it be in the ordinary household offices
of daily necessity, or other work of
necessity or charity, he shall, on con
viction, be fined not more than twenty
dollars for every oHense, deeming
every apprentice or servant 50 en-
ployed as constituting distinct of
fense; but nothing in this section shall
apply to labor on railroads or steam
boats.
1902 (2950J. The Same; merchants,
other than druggists, not to open
store, etc.-A merchant, shop keeper
or other person, shall not keep open
store, or dispose of any wares or mer-
chandise, goods or chattels, on Sunday,
or sell or barter the same: and every
person so offending shall, on convic-
tion, be fined not more than twenty
dollars for every such offense: but this
shall not apply to apothecaries or
druggists who may open their stores
for the sale of medicines.
In accordance with the letter and
spirit of the law, as above quoted, we
understand that it is the purpose of
Constable Magee and other police of
ficers to hereafter rigidly enforce its
provisions against barber shops, fruit
stands, soda founts, stores, and all
kinds of Sabbath violations not eX-
cepted by the terms of the law. The
fruit stands and other shops in the
habit of opening and carrying on a
traffic will be given fair notice,
the officers say, before next Sunday
and if they go ahead violat
ing the law, the proprietors will have
to answer in the courts.

they cannot, without culpable disre

This action may result in a slight in
to some at first, but the

DR.. Geo. L. Hall, of Chicago, deliv-
cred his popular religious lecture on

before large and interested audience
at the Third Church Of Christ, Thurs
day evening. This was the first time
DR.. Hall has appeared before the peo-
pie of Ohio's Tip Top city. From start
to finish the lecture was brisk, instruc-
tive, polished and sparkling with hu-
NOR, wit and pathos, There was not
an uninteresting sentence In the whole
lecture and all present were impress
ed with DR.. Halls great versatility
with the Word of God. The lecture
was illustrated by a large chart, show
ing the proper divisions Of the Bible,
AS announced, DR.. Hall will begin

rendition was without fault and

a polished performer and the audience
showed their appreciation by their
hearty applause and gifts of flowers.

A splendid entertainment was given
in the Presbyterian church, Tuesday
evening by Prof. William J. H Strong
Of the University of Wooster School Of
Expression, under the auspices of the
Young Peoples Christion Union. The
program consisted of songs and read
ings. The Professor has his voice
under excellent control and 1t would
be hard to tell whether his songs or
his readings We're the more roundly
applauded. He was assisted by Miss
B. Riggs, who needs no introduction
to a Wooster audience after her ap-
pcarance on Monday evening. Prof.
| Strong is a graduate Of Emerson
School Of Oratory. He has spent a lit
tie over year in the University of
Wooster as director of the School of

a man we'll fitted for his work. Soc

reference to it's entering a comblna-
tion or trust" said Col. Geo. Il. Per-
kins, president of the Goodrich Co.
Friday. Il do not know from what
source the newspapers are securing
statements to the contrary"
1t was suggested to Col Perkins that
Supt- 3. G. Work Of the Goodrich Co.
had frequently been in the east of
late and that information which SEEM
ed authentic had been secured regard
ing his movements there. Col. Per-
kins entirely doubted, however, that
Mr.. Work was conducting any nego-
tiations with view to laying a prop
Osition before the company when the
matter had progressed to that point.
In another quarter the statement was
made, and on apparent good authority,
Friday, that 1t had at no time been
expected that the Goodrich Co. would
be bought out by n combination OF
other companies or by the Rubber
Goods Manufacturing Co.-that such
a deal would be practically impossi-
BILE as under the Ohio laws the written
consent of every stockholder would
need to be secured. The plans which are
working out, it was stated, are mado
by those interested in the Rubber
Goods Manufacturing Co. by which
that Company can secure controlling
interest of Goodrich Co. stock and con-
troll its policy. Even this procedure,
1t is stated, might not affect the per-
sonnel Of the company's management.
In the meantime, it is stated, the prop
ositions with reference to the Rubber
Goods Co. securing control Of other
local companies are awaiting the out
come Of negotiations regarding the
Goodrich Co.
While it is certain that negotiations
affecting local rubber interests We're OF
are pending, the present indications
are that they have in some way met
some obstacle which has either stop.
ped them entirely, or has put a brake
on the wheel.
With reference to other companies
the Diamond for instance, it is known
that it, as we'll as the Goodrich, has
plans in view which do not contem
plate any mediate change in the com
pany. AS was stated several weeks
ago, the Diamond Co. intends building
plant In England and that move
ment has by no means been abandon
