Committee Will Meet.

The committee of ladies appointed some time ago to solicit funds for the erection of a new Presbyterian church building will meet in the parlors of the Grand hotel in this city tomorrow afternoon to discuss plans for the work.
 The First Presbyterian church has de- eided upon the erection of q new edifice to cost something more than $lO,OO0' and 1t is the desire of the members that the work begin as soon as possible. It Is be- lieved that but little difficulty will be experienced in securing the necessary funds for the building and it is the inten- tion of the building committee to begin the work early in the spring or sum- mer.
 The ladies composing the committee which will meet at the Grand hotel to- morrow are as follows:
 Mrs. Chambers McAdory, chairman; Mrs. G. NJ Lovejoy, Mrs. Rudolph Veg elin, Mrs. George J. Thomas and Mrs George H. Stevenson.
 Drug Stores Will Close.
 By some misunderstanding The Age Herald announced few days ago that the drug stores of this city would remain open next Sunday.
 It was learned today that the drug gists had made no such announcement but to the contrary, will close again next Sunday as was done last Sunday.
 The state law provides that drug stores may remain open on Sunday for the sale of medicines, but on account of the string ent measures taken by the police com mittee of this city last week for the en- forcement of all Sunday laws and in view of the fact, as it is claimed, that the druggists cannot afford to keep open doors exclusively for the sale of pre- scriptions, they signed an agreement last week to close on Sunday
 Last Sunday they remained closed all day except for the filling of prescriptions and it is announced today that this rule will be continued until they know defi- nitely the permanent result of the reform movement, or until the agreement is dis solved by mutual agreement
