DAYLIGHT SAVING TIME

CONFUSION EXPECTED 

Residents of Albany will change their clocks on Sunday morning, April 24, to day light saving time, and all businesses in the Capital city will begin Monday morning an hour earlier. Railroads will be operated on standard time. Schenectady turns ahead the clocks of that city on Sunday, May 1. 

During the coming week some confusion is sure to arise between the two cities. If one takes the trolley in Schenectady Monday morning to reach Albany one will have to figure on two hours elapsed time. Coming home at night the resident of Schenectady will arrive in that city at the same time he left Albany. So he will get the hour back that he lost on the morning trip. 

Beginning Sunday, D. & H. local trains between Altamont and Albany will run one hour earlier. The schedule of trains will be published in the Enterprise next week. 

OWNER OF “HARDSCRABBLE”
FARM FALLS TO HIS DEATH 

Gardner C. Leonard, one of Altamont’s summer residents, met instant death last Friday morning, April 15, by falling from the roof of the Cottrell & Leonard building, in which his firm’s business is located, 472 Broadway, Albany, into the excavation of the Keeler hotel property. His skull was crushed in striking the rough stones in the cellar bottom. 

Three persons are said to have seen the body falling through the air, but it is not known just what led to the accident. It was first thought that a life-size model had blown off the roof, until investigation revealed the body of Mr. Leonard. 

The matter was immediately reported to the store, and Edgar Leonard, senior member of the firm, said his brother had gone to the roof a few minutes before to look for a leak. 

His death came as a shock not only to his family but to the hundreds of friends and business associates of Mr. Leonard.

STATE ROAD SOUTH BERNE.
The many friends of Mrs. Fannie Skinner were pained to learn of her death last week, although she had been in failing health since the death of her husband, Chester Skinner, less than three years ago. The parting blow was too severe for her venerable years, and rapidly she yielded to its influence. She will be greatly missed by a wide circle of friends whom she had cared for through sickness or whenever help and care were needed. She will also be missed in the home, where she was a kind and loving wife, mother and grandmother. She reared to manhood her two grandsons after the death of her son’s wife, and they will always memorialize her true love of home.
