Peck's right to waive the will. The hearing will be resumed next Do ot Like Practice of Working Evenings before Christmas. Some of the clerks in Burlington stores are displeased because their places of employment are kept open evenings, contrary to their expectation that this year the stores would be closed evenings during the week before Christmas. In consequence of their dissatisfaction, it is said, certain of the more disgruntled ones have adopted a plan of action which they think will even up matters to some extent. Their scheme is to hold iback the returns of sales made during the evening hours, except in cases where it is neces-Eary to make change for a customer.

York lawyer, William Odlin is a Boston lawyer, and thus far has been the moving spirit on that side of the case. The petition alleges that Sayles Nichols is an unsuitable person to discharge the trust imposed on him, and specifies improper conduct and conflicting- interests. The gist of the allegations is that he knew that Mr. Peck had accepted the will and yet helped him try to waive it. The allegation proceeds that he used the funds of the Harriet C.

Peck estate to hire attorneys to uphold the alleged waiver. The second allegation is that he has taken a $1,000 annuity under the will without first getting an order from the probate court. It is further charged that he ought to have recovered from Mr. Peck certain desposits which It Is alleged were in Mr. Peck's name as trustee.

It is further Lieut. Stuart Oscar Elting of the 11th United States cavalry, son of the late Capt. Oscar Elting, who was stationed at Fort Ethan Allen and whose family continued to reside In Burlington after his death, was married at the Hotel Vendome Harold Overton. Harold Overton, a private of Troop 10th cavalry, died Saturday morning at the post hospital of acute tuberculosis. He was 21 years old.

The body will be sent this morning to Norfolk, for burial. business of that day. The idea back of this juggling is to reduce the apparent size of the evening business, and to increase the apparent amount of the daylight trade. When it is necessary to give a customer change at the time the purchase is made, the sale of course has to go on record as evening business. One object in view is to "sting" 'the employer for keeping the store open evenings, and another object is to lower the evening trade recorded this year to such an extent that next season the stores will be closed evenings the week before Christmas.

The practice is in some cases difficult to detect without careful watching- The clerks in Burlington stores, however, are as a rule honest, and the tinkering with sales slips is by no means general. Most of the men and women employed' in the stores are cheerfully doing their best to serve their employers and their patrons, and. they take their extra hours, added at the end of a long and tiresome day, with good grace. Reports are to the effect that the evening business has not been heavy so far, most of the holiday trade coming during the regular hours. Shoppers appear early in Boston Saturday evening.
