A speclal musical sorviez w22 we held charge | and in the evening | closing of stores in this city. The great majority of the merchants freely signified their willingness to enter into an agree- ment to close on Sundays and also on | weekday evenings. There are still some | districts not thoroughly canvassed and | also some mmerchants in the districts where the most work has been done who | are holding off, and special efforts are | now being directed to make early closing | general throughout the city. Many minis- ters are aiding the movement, and last night the following letter was addressed | to those merchants who have agreed to v}]ose by the San Francisco Labor Coun- | etlz Dear Sir: Local No. 432 of the Retall Clerl International Protective Association, organ- | ized by and now affillated with the San Fran- | cisco Labor Council, reported at last night’s | sesslon of the council that so far ninety lead- ing retall stores of this city had over their | slgnatures agreed to inaugurate on January | 1. 191, the shorter workday by closing their | | | establishments daily at 6 p. m., except on | Saturday evenings, evenings preceding _holl- days and evenings during the month of De- cember. To further advance the just and worthy | cause of early closing of stores—a cause that will permit both employer and employe to lead better and broader lives—the San Francisco Labor Council elected last night a specal | | committee to render the full support of the | council to the clerks in their efforts to get all competitive retail stores to close, thus in- surlng the permanency of the movement while | burting no man in his business. | ~This committee will interview the few pro- prietors who have not yet signed the clerks’ agreement, urging them to comply with their and, failing to get such compliance, mittee will send the names of such to the members of the unions of this | and make them public otherwise, the | committee being fully convinced that at the present - stage of civilizs the public, once tion is called the matter, will | | v convince these merchants that hu- | mane hours of 1a or are just and expedient, and that it does not pay to retard the th of the community The secretary was i the d assure th rength of the labor movement will ct them against those who ing their stores open all night they can get a in Trinity Church this evening under the | direction of H.

As Likely to Rend the Fleeing Vic- | tim as Is the Average Pug. “It is a pecullar fact,” sald Detective | Frank D. Mitchell the other day, “that| the general public has an entirely erro-| neous idea as to the nature and charac- | teristics of the bloodhound. The popular | opinion is that he is a beast of giant | frame and unusually feroclous, with a | enchant for eating the criminal whom | ie has brought to bay. Another common | error is that he can follow a scent in- cefinitely, through a thousand sinuosities, | though it may be intersected by any num- | ber of other trails. | “The_ average bloodhound is no more | to be dreaded, so far as lis flerceness is concerned, than a pug. He is_a gaunt, rawboned ' creature, with a_head running to a peak; sleepy eyes and long, pendu- | lous ears.’ As to disposition, he is lazy. | His usefulness lies chiefly In the keenness | of his olfactory nerves, enabling him to | follow a fresh Scent many miles. He sel- | dem touches his quarry when run to | earth, however, and never does unless | starved to it. The bloodhound differs from | the English foxhound, in that he never | ‘glves tongue' or bays while following a | scent. { ‘“‘Bloodhounds are not of much use in | tracking criminals In a city, or where there is comparatively dcnse population, as the numerous cross-trails confuse them. This was demonstrated last winter when we were hunting two negroes named | Will Tony and Sam Barnette, The people of Benson had been complaining of chick- en thieves. Almost every night some hen- coop in that suburb of Omaha would be looted and finally Detective Drummy and I were detailed to work up the case. We | put in several days on it without landing our man, and the aggravating part of it | | was that the thefts were going right on, | | even while we were hunting for the crim: {inals. Well, eventually we decided to adopt heroic measures. We had a con- | sultation with several prominent citizens | | of Benson, and the result was we sent to | Beatrice for a pack of bloodhounds. | _*We kept the dogs in hiding until there | was.another raid on a hencoop, and they, | bright and early one morning the hounds | were put on a fresh trail. They followed it about a quarter of a mile and finally | |came to a standstill on the front pore | of a house in the outskirts of the village | “The family that lived in this house bore a good reputation, but we decided to %3 in anyhow and make an investigation. e searched everywhere, from cellar_to garret, but there was no sign of a stolen | chicken. Not even a feather could be | found on the premises. Then we took the | dogs back to the starting point and had | them go over the trail again, and again | they wound up on the front porch off the | same house. Try as we would we could- | n’t get the beasts to leave that place. | The trail seemed to end there. If the | thieves had gone up in a balloon at that | point they couldn’t have obliterated theix So the doj were sent | tracks more effectually. | declared a failure an | Beatrice. s were 'k to | “Lnxe‘ we succeeded in catching Tony | and Bafnette red-handed, with the evi- | dence of their guilt upon them, and thoy | confessed. T have never been able to ex- | plain to my own satisfaction why the trail | left off so abruptly on the porch of that particular house. There is a tradition comes up from the South, a survivor of the ante-bellum days, that if a fleein, slave tied sliced onions upon the soles o his feet the hounds could not track him. Perhaps that is what Barnette and Tony did on the piazza of that house—I don't know."—Omaha Bee. Toilet Cases and Albums.
