GOOD FRIDAY AND ALL FOOLS DAY.
Exchanges Will Be Closed-Special Services
in Churches.

Good Friday is to DO observed generally in nnan-
cal and commercial circles in the city to-day. The
banks will be kept open because they cannot legally
close. but the Stock Exchange the Consolidated
Exchange. the Cotton Exchange, the Produce Ex-
change and the Coffee Exchange will be closed. and
the financial district of the city will be almost
deserted. The Coffee and Cotton exchanges viii be
closed tomorrow well to-day
The fact that Good Friday fails on April this
year IS expected to cause many persons to dlsre-
gard the ordinary customs OF All Fools Day. There
can be practical jokes the exchanges to-day;
and although all the schools are closed this week
and the small boy is at liberty to play pranks in the
streets. the Good Friday sentiment may perhaps
curb his search for April fools.
There Will be special services in many OF tho
churches OF the city to-day including the service
from to p. IN. In all the Episcopal churches.
Among the Episcopal churches holding the
three hour agony service to-day are Trinity.
Grace. Calvary, St Thomass. ST. MchaerS. ST

churches which will have special services this
evening the METROPOLITAN Temple, Calvary

the Tammany leader Of the XXVIth District.
Luck never seems to have any trouble in find
ing the Honorable Toms doorknob. On or about
February i he appointed emergency con-
tractor OF the Buildings Department. he has
had the most astonishing OF luck ever since.
Fires have burned out three buildings, and the
Darlington disaster has made ii necessary Tor
the Buildings Department to have plenty OF
things done by the emergency contractor II IS
estimated by the former Sheriffs friends in the
contracting business that he has cleared at least
$4,000 in profits since February 1, when he
took hold OF his Job. and this does not include
the profitable work incident to clearing away
the Darlington building wreck.
Devious are the ways OF the Honorable Tom.
Not being building contractor himself, or hav-
ing any plant with which to do the work Of
tearing down snoring up buildings, Mr.. Dunn.
