SHOE STORE CLOSING. Sst, The Merchants Arranging to Close At 5.30 O'clock. As announced @ few days ago, some of the merchants of Kingston have decided that it will be to the advan- tage of the businéss to shorten the hours of labour for the help. As a result it has been arranged by J. H. Sutherland & Bro., A. 'W. Reid, the Lockett Shoe Store, W. A. Sawyer, the Model Shoe Stoye, J. BE. Johnston, H. Jennings, H. B. Wartell, The Aber- nethy Shoe Store and Ringlands Shoe Store, that commencing with Monday next, May 26th, they will close at 6.30 every day except Sat- urday, when the hour will. be ten o'clock. During the months of July and August the closing hiour will be five o'clock every day. Thus the shoe stores of Kingston have fallen 'into line with the other retail mer- chants and have adopted the system of shorter hours. This change will be very beneficial to the help cm- ployed in these stores and sh. ud not in any way interfere with the amount of business. * The movement is a good one, and it is gratifying to see Kingston merchants falling into line with the big cities in this mat. tes 2 + BOY'S NARROW ESCAPE.
