OBSERVED LATE HOURS
FOR RUSH BUSINESS

Because of the presence of so many
visitors during the commencement
ceremonies at the Naval Academy, and
the thousands of enlisted men from
the Atlantic fleet, who were given
shore liberty at different periods,
practically all of the merchants of the
city kept their doors open later than
the usual period in order to accommo-
date their customers.
Most of the stores, as a rule. close
at or o'clock. except on Saturdays,
but this week the majority of them
remained open until 10 and 10:30
o'clock Proprietors of business
houses, as well as the hotels and
boarding houses, are unanimous in ex-
pressing their opinion that their bust
ness this June Week" was the most
prosperous they have ever had. And
the same is true OF the railway com
panies.

Through his father he entered suit
against the railway companies and
was awarded $4,000 damages. The
amount was paid TO his father. who
turned il over to another son, John
Owen for safe-keeping. John i'm
mediately deposited it in bank and
used 81 900 to settle bill of his own.
He later used portions of the remain
der and gave several sums to his
father until the entire amount was ex-
pended The father promised several
times TO repay the money to Richard,

time OF his death he left his property

estate. The decision of the Court
returns the entire amount. with the
exception of $500 which is held to pro-
vide for certain debts which the son
