‘The Evenin Pudliehed by the Press Publishing Company, No, to ® Park | Entered at the Vost-Omtice at New York ae Seconi-Ciiss M ONE DAY IN SEVEN. Both on hygienic and legal grounds the salesmen in the east side re- tall stores are entitled to one day off out of ever man long hours every day of the week and every day of t! injury both to him individually and to society at large. Nothing is gained thereby. As much, if not more, can be accomplished in six days’ work as in seven, and seven days’ work neither makes industry more produe- tive nor trade and commerce more lucrative. The east side salesmen have petitioned Mayor MeCieilan and Com- missioner McAdoo to enforce the Sunday closing law. So long as some employers are allowed to keep open other employers are forced to do the same thing. Doubtless nine out of ten would prefer to close on Sunday, for they need a day of rest and recreation with their families avite as much as do their employees. case, KEEP THE BATHS OPEN.

The only additional cost would be in the attendants’ wages, as the baths are there anyhow, and to utilize them to their utmost capacity for the full twenty-four hours of the day if necessary would not add to the cost of land or the building. Any manufacturer would be glad of the opportunity to run his plant to Its full capacity, and the city should make a like constant use of its facilities for adding to the comfort, the cleanliness and the health of its {people. OLD AGE AND OLD CLOTHES. In the Dunlap will contest before the Surrogate there is.a mass of entertaining testimony on the habits and pleasures of venerable rich men. The instinct to amass and to keep money is apparently a thing apart from the ordinary faculties. Mr. Dunlap daily drank a bottle of brandy, a half bottle of whiskey and a bottle of champagne. He had wom the same clothes for fifteen years, and he was so much attached to them that he would wear his hat and overcoat at all times except when he was in bed. The cases of Russell Sage, John R. Platt and other venerable rich’ men were cited to prove that the constant wearing of old clothes was not! a sign of mental unsoundness in financial affairs. | Mr. Dunlap had no great liking for his relatives and left several wills for them to litigate. He must have chuckled in his old.age over the trou-) bles which would arise after his death. | These relics of the old-time millionafres-are a class apart from the modern high financiers. They made their money in business years ago, and the accumulation came through careful investments and the com-| pounding of the interest.

SEE,” said the Cigar Store Man, “that they can’t find any trace of the $685,000 that was shuffled back and forth between the Equitable Life and the Mercantile Trust Company.” “What do we care?” asked the Man Higher Up, “Who are the pikers that want to know about that $685,000? Such a trifling sum as that didn’t bother the people who tin-canned the Equitable, It was small change! “Ov course the loan was on the books of the trust company for five or six years, according to the testimony of the President, but the State Bank Examiners didn't seo it, If they had they probably would have been fired for incompetency, Did you ever know a State Bank Examiner to find out that a bank was on the blink until after it had exploded and left the de- positors running in circles and lamenting for thelr vanished hoard? Maybe it is because the bankers fool the examiners, “From the rumors floating around Wall street {t would appear that every time the bank examiner telephoned to the Merchants’ Trust Co. that he would be around to examine the books at 11.32 A. M. they gave that $685,000 note to an office boy and told him to run around the block with it, Persons of a cynical turn of mind familiar with banking and trust company methods say that such a proceeding would be strictly legitimate so long as nobody on the outside got wise to it. Not being bankens, you and I naturally gasp a few times when we hear of such things and feverishly rush to our javings bank to see If it has been moved, “Look at the marvellous resources of our financial district, Here is a note for $685,000 that only a few people know about. Suddenly everybody knows about it. Then the note is paid by two men, one of whom is out of town, and there isn't a trace of a check, or a bundle of cash, or a basketful of diamonds, or anything else to show how the note was taken up, All it takes to make up $685,000 1s the combined annual premiums of about 2,500 holders of $5,000 policies,” “I suppose it’s none of our business, anyhow.” remarked the Cigar Store Man, “You wouldn't have to go farther than the Equitable Building to find lot of people who think so," replied the Man Higher Up.
