Note and Comment

A PRESS telegram of recent date from Rochester, N. Y., gives the following information regarding the work of one of the agencies which is pushing the movement for Sunday legislation in this country:—
Better observance of the Sabbath and more rest for the workingmen were the subjects of discussion at the executive conference of the International Federation Sunday Rest Associations of America here to-day. A general appeal to the churches of the United States and Canada is being prepared with regard to the observance of the Lord’s day week, beginning April 30, and protest against the opening of the Portland fair on Sunday. The conference will issue an appeal to Postmaster-General Cortelyou against the continuance of the practise of having post-offices open for money-order and registry business on Sunday.
