STORES TO CLOSE SATURDAY.
Big Firms Decide to Observe Wash
 ingtOn's Birthday,

Saturday will be a general holiday at the big department stores. It was generally thought that because Wash ington's birthday fell on a Saturday this year, that the holiday would either be omitted or another day sub stltuted. The various firms consulted with each other regarding the matter and yesterday unanimously agreed to cast financial considerations to the winds, and honor the Father of Our Country. at all costs. The news was received by the employees with the greatest pleasure. as 1t means in reali- ty two days holiday in place of one. This year all of the holidays fall on a Saturday, viz, Decoration day and the Fourth of July but whether the mer- chants will take the same action on these occasions is not known.
 The decision affects such stores as the Edward Malley Co. Gamble Des- mond Go, Howe & Stetson Co.,. Mem del X Freedman. the Charles Monson O.. NJ. Mann & Bro, and the Craw- Hummer Co.
