Entered at the at New York as Second-Class Mail Matter VOLUME 43. ——————— THE VACA ‘The practice of throwing Saturday in ture when a calendar holiday falls on Friday reaches its climax this week in the observance of the Fourth Begun a few years ago by the Stock Exchange it ex tended first to the wholesale districts and now embraces the big department stores and large retail establishments uptown. As a result of the opportunity thus afforded olerk and proprietor of taking 2 week-end trip out of town New York will be more neerly depopulated to- morrow than during the dull vacation days of August. ‘The exodus to the seaside resorts, the trout streams of the Adirondacks and the bassless lakes of Orange County ‘will be such as to crowd steamboat and train to their eapacity. All the berths In the Adirondack night ex- press were taken twenty-four hours before train time. Tt seems to be easier than It was a generation ako tor & busy community to take a day off. The number of oldays has increased twice over and vacations have doubled in length.

Along with the growth of the vacation habit 1s the! increasing disposition to live in the country in summer: ‘The shooting of Latimer by a burglar in Brooklyn re- veals the fact that in the residential region where it oc- curred five hundred dwelling houses are closed for the season, their occupants temporarily In the country. It is a revelation surprising even to those familiar with Man- hattan’s boarded-up residences. ‘The King’s Single Cigar.—The sole cigar allowed King Edward daily by his physicians probably gives him mor exquisite pleasure than his large daily allowance In his years of good health. There was a celebrated epicurean New York editor, now dead, who limited himself to one “gmoke" a day and contrived to extract an immense amount of enjoyment from it. ‘The amount of self- restraint involved in refraining from a second cigar was the admiration of his friends. THE MAJESTY OF THE LAW. ‘The arrest of the juvenile crap-shooters in City Hall Park and the fining by Magistrate Pool of twenty old women for peddling in the Essex Market region show that there Is no relaxation of police vigilance for the maintenance of law and order in a great city. The boys | « Shad the excuse of youth and were let go; the women, some of them bent and feeble old crones of sixty-five, | 4 “were well enough along in life to know that they were violating a clty ordinance in selling goods, without a li- cense and it was on this charge that they were arrested. ‘Their real offense, it appears, was that they obstructed | the streets with their pushcarts and littered pavements with waste paper and trash. They were in the wrong, of course. But the law sometimes winks at wot offenders. At the very mo- ment of their arrest {t was winking at the red lights in First street near by, which still glow there, according to the testimony in the Churchill trial. It was winking very hard at the piles of structural steel and contractors’ material and the dirt-causing debris that fills the upper west side with dust, But examples must be made of cfenders, even of old women reehing to earn a scant living. Im Old New York.—Cellar-diggers on an old site at Battery © have unearthed "a brown stone jug about nine Lea tall, which might have contained ‘schnapps.’ Some of the tales they used to tell of life In the good old colony days when we lived under the King must be true.

In other words, he cast his million—more 01 less—upon the waters of the Atlantic and waited for his bread to come back in the shape of advertising far bis tea. And it came back, all right, While Sir Thomas was wea-faring how think you was his tea-faring? It sold ws fast as salesmen could hand it out, Which goes to prove that Sir Thomas had a good weather eye for busl- ness and a good business eye for yachting weather. and other merchants will please shift their quids, give their tarpaulins a fresh hitch and tak in the use of and value of printer's ink and ponder it. this little lesson © the fo'c sle A PARROT'S VOCABULARY, Suit has been brought by Robert Hoboken saloon-keeper, against an old sea cay teaching a parrot profanity.
