PRIoE ONE GENT
PAINTERS ARE At WORK.
THEY DID NOT STRIKE AS
EXPECTED.
Viii Work Under The Agreement
of The Past Year With
out Any Further
Advance.

Much to the satisfaction of both
sides the contemplated strike of the
painters and decorators of Annapolis
did not take place today. Both sides
have come 60 an amicable agreement
whereby the agreement which has eX.
listed between the jouFneymen aud the
employers for the past year has been

hess ON both sides as TO the very rea-
sonable stand taken by the employers,
and the acceptance by the EMPLOYEES
of the explanation offered them little
difficulty was experienced in getting
together. Under the old agreement
of the past year the painters received
81. 90 per day of eight hours which
was an advance of 80 cents per day
over the scale of the year before.
Some months since the painters no
titled the employers that on April
they would expect SO per day and
failing to receive it would be forced
20 suspend work. II was stated Ly the
employers, of which X. Il. Strange a.
Sons is the largest employer i'm the
city proper. that owing to the past
long winter, the slowness of making
collections and the general disinolina-
tiOn of property owners TO have work
done, even at the then existing prices.
they could not see their way 10 grant
an increase. There the matter was
allowed 10 rest for some time until
several Of the members of the local
union ventured the suggestion that the
men be paid according 20 the old
scale. but that they be given Saturday
half holiday with pay
This would not be agreed Co by the
employers and there the matter rested
until today. President Charles Hill,
of the local union, agreeing with all
the members of the union that the
employers could not grant the advance
and II they did work would neoessar-
lily have TO be curtailed To an extent
which would net the painters much
less than they could earn throughout
the season under the old scale, decid-
ed not TO try and enforce the demands.
A new scale, based on the same terins
as that Of the one just ended was
drawn up and signed this morning By
the three employing painters Of the
city and Naval Academy. Work will
be resumed ON Monday and contracts
which have been held in abeyance
will be proceeded with at once. There
is small difference between the
Riggers Union, the Electrical Work
ers and the employers of both class of
workmen. The difference is not Of a
very serious nature and il is thought
that it will be adjusted in ample time
for the men TO go TO work Monday.
IL was thought that some change
would be made in the scale of the
bricklayers, but 10 is understood that
any anticipated trouble has been avert

trades work is picking up and IL is ex-
pected that within the next week all

all Syrian tradersto settle their affairs,
cease trading and leave the country
becomes effective today. according TO
advices from Port-au- Prince. and the
consequences of its enforcement are
awaited with considerable interest by
the State Department here owing TO
the fact that number of Syrians do
ing business in the island claim Amer
lean citizenship and have asked the
protection of this government. While
the State Department is always keen
ly ON the alert to protect this coun-
try's subjects, wherever they may be,
is is the prevailing opinion that the
most of the so-called American citi-
zens among the Syrian residents of
Hayti are of the bogus" variety, such
as are to be found in plenty among
all the West Indian islands. The
Syrians are extremely obnoxious to
the natives, as they have managed TO
obtain control of most of the retail
business of the island and are reputed
to be INSCRIPTIONS dealers and merci-
less creditors.

THE SUNDAY OF HOLY JOY.
TO BE CELEBRATED AT ST.
MARY'S CHURCH.
I he Altar Will Be Beautifully
Decorated With Flowers
For The Occasion
I tomorrow.

Tomorrow is known as Laetare Sun
day, SO called from the first word of
the Introit of the Mass, taken from
the Prophet Isaias: Rejoice, o Je-
rusalem, and come together all you
that love her Rejoice with JOY that
Won have been in sorrow, etc.
The golden thread of JOY interviewer
through the whole ritual of the day
is typified by the flowers and orna-
Inents on the altar, which all the other
Sundays of Lent are removed. The
church reminds her faithful children
of the joys of Heaven, by way of en-
coHragement to perseverance in pen
ance and prayer. and IN the patient
bearing of crosses and sorrows and
difficulties.
1t is not at all the intent of the
church, at this half way station, that
an intermission of the lenten austeri-
ties shall occur, so that the mi -careme
junketings and the like, the indulging
in which has become fad with lax
Catholics and non catholics, are by no
means in accord with the spirit OF
the church. The services will be as
usual--the early masses at 8 O'Clock
and s. 90 O'Clock, the high mass and
sermon at 10. 80 O'Clock.
In the evening at 80 O'Clock the
fourth of the course on the precepts
Of the church will be preached by
Very Rev. Thomas q. Hanley, q. IS.
r.. rector, followed by the Benedic-
zion of the Most Blessed Sacrament
The Holy Name Society, composed of
men of the parish, young and old, will
receive Holy Communion in a body
at the O'Clock mass. This flourish
ing society is credit to st. Mary's 5
Church.
Men associated for no other purpose
than To promote the honor and glory
of God by their united efforts to cause
respect and reverence for His Holy
Name and for all things holy, must
necessarily erect powerful bulwarks
against the furious waves of iTrever-
snce and profanity. unfortunately ever
seemingly on the increase and threat
ening to engulf modern society.
