TRADE NOT tiiNDERED
Plea For the wotkinsmsn With Long
Hours and Short Pay. Some
Interesting facts.


The merchants effort to give some
daylight recreation to their clerks and
incidentally to themselves, finds some
opposition on the ground that the public
will be Inconvenience
Now | have been long time in mer-
camille business and my observation is
that the public as a whole is progressive
and fairmnded land with the exception
of the few extremely uncharitable and
selfish ones that exist in every COM
munit,) are willing to fall in line and
help out with any broad scheme that
has the welfare of their fellowbeings
in view
Let us look at the lot of the average
m .rchant and clerk in the community.
Their labor begins with 6 a. m. on Mon
day and they are fortunate if they are
clear of their store duties before p.
M, and on Saturday 9 to 10 p. M, a
total for the week of ii hours per day,
Sc hours of labor out of which there is
a hurry back" allowance for meals
which hardly counts. For this labor
the clerk who must be fairly well
ed lcated, always well dressed and of
god address, is lucky if he or she gets
from 81. 80 to 81 per day. This grind"
goes on from week to week and from
its monotony if nothing else soon pro-
duces physical conditions that result in
broken health and that tired feeling
which is worse than downright illness
and indicates a nervous breakdown.
Now not in faultfinding spirit but
just as an object lesson for our friends,
the public, whose good will and assist
ance we crave, let Us contrast the con.
ditions of the OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES with
this.
The brcklayer and carpenter, a man
of no better intelligence or education
than the clerk, gets for a day of or

man himself characterized as grip of the
intestines," has been almost entirely dis
sipated.
Mr.. Stillman has signaliZed the improve
ment in health, the letters say, by enter
tanning on a very lavish scale in the
Paris residence which he purchased soon
after his arrival in the French capital and
On the grounds of a country estate near
Paris. At the latter place he recently gave
a fete champetre, which is described as
one of the gala events of the season.
Notwithstanding his restoration to health.
Mr.. Stillman has given no indication of an
intention of returning to this country. The
impression is said to be growing among
American sojourners in Paris that he has
selected France as permanent place OF
residence. In the midwinter months the
climate of the south of France has proved
very beneficial to him and at other sea-
sons the Paris climate just suits him, SO
that altogether life in France has advan-
tages in his case over existence here.
While Mr.. Stillman has expressed no in
tention of returning in the near future, he
has given no intimation of any intention
to resign any of the many OFFICES he holds
in banking and railroad companies.
Il would not be surprised If Mr. Stilfman
returned before long" said Frank A. Van
derlip vice president of the National City
Bank, before his departure for jamestown
yesterday. II have. however, no informa-
intention of retiring from business 1 have
not heard of It."

CHURCH OF PILGRIMS
POSSIBILITY THAT GIFT OF $40
900 MAY BE WITHDRAWN.

In the event better spirit of unity i. not
manifested soon by the members of tho
Church of the Pilgrims, it is stat d. the
proposed $4,000 gift for the building of an
institutional church in this city will bc
withdrawn by Mr.. j. c. Ingram of Wis
consin, who agreed, under certain condi-
lions to give that amount several mon. hs
ago The conditions attached to the pro-
posed gift were that DR.. Frizzel should TO
the pastor of the church for a number Of
years, or until it was we'll established A
salary was stipulated and the First aud
Mount Pleasant Congregational churches
were to guarantee the amount. When the
proposition was presented to the First
Church Dr. Frizzel made a short address
and the amount required was speedily guar
antead. Several weeks later Dr. FrZzell,
II is stated. was to have spoken at the
Mount Pleasant Congregational Church
relative to the subject. but was unable to
be present Thus the matter remained at
standstill as far as the Mount Pleasant
Church was concerned, although the pas
tor, Rev. NJ. Ross F1shburn, upon more
than one occasion has stated that as soon
as the matter was pres epted to the mem
bers of his congregation they would do
their part.
At the prayer meeting at the Church of
the Pilgrims last evening DR.. FriZzell an
nounced that he will leave this ftcmoon
for Wisconsin to confer with Mr.. Ingram.
at length.
For Member of the Church.
When a Star reporter approached a men,
Der of the church today relative to the SUD-
ject he declared that he did not desire to
be quoted. Repeated questioning elected the
information that DIR. Frizzell had an
nounced his intention of going to Wiscon-
sin. He intimated. however, that the ques-
ton was one for the members of the church
am. not for the public.
Rev. DIR. Samuel II. Woodrow. pastor OF
the First Congregational Church. stated
that his church had guaranteed its part,
and the only reason the Mount Pleasant
church had not done so was that the mat. er
has not been presented by DIR. Frizzell to
the members OF that congreg CATION. Ii is ad-
mitted in some quarters. 1t is said that Mr..
Ingram is somewhat disappointed at the
lack of enthusiasm on the part of some of
the members of the church. Still. the opin-
ion is expressed that with a small amount
of patience upon the part OF the donor OF
the gift the arrangements for the erection
of the building will be perfected.

INDIAN FACES THE GALLONS.
Robert yellow Boy Likely to Be
Executed for Murder.

To Judge from the nature of the
evidence presented by the government
at the preliminary hearing of Robert
Yellow Boy, Sioux Indian, held be-
fore United States Commissioner Neil
McDonough at Deadwood Thursday,
Yellow Boy, who is charged with muir
der, stands a good chance of ending
his life on the gallows, as was the case
q few years ago with George Pear and
Alan Walking Shield, Sioux Indians,
who were hanged in Sioux Falls, hav-
ing been convicted of murder on the
Rosebud reservation.
At the conclusion of the prelimi-
nary hearing of Yellow Boy, at which
both United States Attorney Porter
and United States Marshal Seth Bull
lock, the defendant was held without
bail for appearance before the next
federal grand jury to answer to the
charge Of murder.
Until the alleged commission of the
crime charged against him Yellow
Boy was a member of the Indian
police force at Pine Ridge agency, his
alleged victim, Hugh Brave Heart
also having been a member Of the
force. The incidents preceding and
following the death of Brave Heart.
and the nature of the evidence upon
which the government will seek to
convict yellow Boy Of the crime Of
murder, were clearly set forth at the
preliminary examination of the ac-
cused.
