THE SATURDAY HALF HOLIDAY.
Thanks to the efforts of the daily press OF
the metropolis the Saturday half holiday
movement in New Y ork has become gen.
erous and beneiicent fact. Nearly all the
| leading business houses in the city signed
an agreement whereby their employees were
| to have Saturday afternoon for a holiday
from the 1st of June to the 1st of
October in each year. The few
firms that have hesitated to join
in the movement will sooner or later
discover their mistake. 1t is one of the
greatest reform movements of the age and
is a revolution that will never go backward.
1t will extend from city to city until the
time is reached when Saturday half holi-
days will prevail everywhere, not only dur
ing the summer months but during the
entire year. The movement is important
in that it inaugurates the first check to that
restless, feverish excitement in business
methods characteristic of this genera
ton and which is wearing out
our business men with fearful rapidity. 1t
is rare thing to find an active business
man in this day who lives to old age In
order to keep pace with the constant and
untiring rush he wears himself out before
he has reached the period where he should
be in the prime and the vigor of his man
hood. As he drops into the grave the busy
world hardly finds time to drop tear for
his loss. His place is filled with another,
who in few years follows him-the victim
of overwork. There must be stop some
where to these ruinouS business habits, and
| the half-holiday movement is the first
halting place that has yet appeared.
! The movement is valuable ally to the
work of the church in protecting the sacred
ness Of the Sabbath day, and will enlist the
support of the entire Christian community
1t will have tendency to establish kindlier
relations between capital and labor. A
voluntary act on the part of capitalists, by
which their employees are released few
| hours each week from the drudgery of work,
will go far toward increasing fidelity during
business hours and will help to cement the
good feeling between the two parties, which
should always exist. A generous deed gen
erously done makes the whole world feel
! better. And then it will do the working

the lake or river, they come back to their
tasks in better moral and physi-
cal condition to work. They are
stimulated by the recreation they have en-
joyed. Only those who have experienced
it. know what a refreshing sense there is in
going fishing during the hot season and
! lying under the shade of tree on the bank
of stream, even if you catch no fish. The
fewer fish you catch the better you feel
because it is the rest and not the eXertion
you need. ''All work and no play makes
| Jack dull boy" So the generous
business firms who have enlisted in this
movement will find that their generosity
has been amply repaid in the improved
quality of work they get from their en-
ployes in consequence of the Saturday half
holiday.

THE island which has been selected as the
place for the BARrHoLDI statue of Liberty to
rest has curious history. The island be-
longed to Mr.. ISAAC BEDLOE and in 1870 the
governor Of the state issued an instru-
ment declaring that for and in consider
ton of valuable improvements made
by Mr.. BEDLoE on his island, it should in the
future be known as Lone island, and should
be privileged place where no arrests could
be made or warrants served, except by spe-
cial consent of the governor. The people,
however, did not take kindly to the change OF
name, and it continued to be known as BED
LOE's island. In looking up the history of
the island, deeds were found to the most val
liable part of New York on both sides of
Broadway, which was sold to ISAAC BEDLoE
about 200 years ago for ST. per acre.

DEAD DOGS.

The French scientist who claimed that a
dog that had been dead for several hours
has overdone the thing in the report of his
experiments. He cut off dogs head
and then injected the veins of the head
with blood. He reports that the head then
returned to life. The head was able to
close it's mouth, turned its eyes in the
direction of the person who called
its name, and barked whenever a piece OF
meat was held to view. AS the Partisan failed
to explain how the head could bark without
a lung attachment, discredit was thrown
on the whole story. But an experiment
made by two New York scientific persons a
few days ago has more encouraging face
ON it. A dog was bled to death and permit
ted to remain dead for three hours and a
half. At the expiration of that time blood
was injected into the dogs veins, and it re-
covered and is now as well as usual. This
fact so worked upon Mr.. ALDEN of the New
York Times that he Immediately sought
and obtained foreign appointment from
the government. He evidently did not
want to remain in this country and see the
land dotted all over with dog crematories,
which would have to be erected, for the
only possible way to put it out of the
power of eyil-disposed persons to bring
mean dogs back to life, after they had been
killed, would be to burn the bodies.
In consideration of the unusual kindness
the American people have shown to Mr..
ALDEN, he has felt it his duty to leave be-
hind him some suggestions which will
tend to reconcile his countrymen to
the calamity which has overtaken them
by reason of this gone-dog discovery.
In an affecting article in the Times
Mr. ALDEN advises people to content them

SENATOR SHERMAN IN ST. PAUL.
In his talk with the GLOBE this morning
Senator SHERMAN of Ohio, who is making
a brief sojourn in the city, discusses freely
and frankly all topics presented to his con-
sideratSon by our reporter except Oh the
subject of LoeAN's boom for the presi-
deney. The GLOBE readers can readily un-
derstand Mr.. SHERMAN's reticence on a
subject Of so much delicacy to one who is
s'looking leedle out' himself, and will
consequently excuse his silence in that
respect His criticisms on the CLEVELAND
administration sound little peculiar, COM
ing as they do from an ex-member Of the
HAYES administration. It must be ad-
mitted that Mr.. SHERMAN is little over
sensitive in his present dislike to the ap-
pointment Of eY-rebels to places in the ad-
ministratioR, and particularly so when it is
remembered that he was once an impor-
tant cabinet officer in an administration
when the eX-rebel KEY was also a
member Of the presidential house
hold. The senator's sudden conversion on
the Chinese question in connection with his
effort to usurp from Mr.. BLAINE the
monopoly of the bloedy-shirt banner
will confirm the suspicion which prevails
in some quarters that he is really in the
ring for the next Republican nomination.
His rose-colored view Of the political stu
alton in Ohio is natural enough for a gen
tleman whose entire hope of future prefer
ment depends upon the cast of the die in
that state. Having yeered around until he
stands upon Mr.. BLAINE's platform
Senator SHERMAN might have some
hope of capturing the nomination for presi-
dent f1ae could only possess Mr.. BLAINE's
personal magnetism. But alas for his
hopes, the leopard cannot change his spots.
There is no manin the country who pos

Mr. ScOtt's Returm.-AttractiOns
This Week.

This Week.
Mr.. L. n. Scott, manager of the opera
house, returned from New York yesterday,
where he has been booking attractions for
the next season. Mr.. Scott says that he is
not ready for week or two yet to make
the announcements for the season, but says
that he has secured class OF attractions
rather better than those of last year. In
fact, he says that the second-class compa-
nies will be dropping, owing to the poor bus
mess of last season. The good ones made
money, not so much as they hoped, but did
a paying business. The poor ones were not
so fortunate, and some of them can't pay
their printing bills. The outlook for good
attractions, however, this year is good
one, and after Jan. 1 revival OF business
is looked for.

morrow for a two-nights' engagement, after
nearly months close. 'Victor Durand,"

BONANZA KINGS.
why Mackay Wants to Go TO the
Senate.

San Francisc Letter.
The recent trouble in the Nevada Bank
which resulted in the withdrawal of Sena-
tor Fair and Bonanza King Flood, is said to
have been due primarily to the political
ambition of John W. Mackay. If Mackay
were asked where his place of residence was
he would probably say Gold Hill, Ney. He
probably spends one or two months there,
and the remainder of the year is divided be-
tween San Francisco, New York and Paris
His wife maintains an establishment in
Paris which is the wonder even of the
luxurious and sybaritical Parisians, but the
man who furnishes the money for all this
display rarely stays more than few weeks
in this palace. The success of Fair in
securing seat in the United States senate
from Nevada is said to have stimulated the
ambition of Maekay, and the recent exam
pie of Stanford in this state has shown him
what wealth and popularity may do. The
Comstock millionaire, who used to think of
nothing but diamond-drilling and the open
ing up of new bonanZas, has recently turned
his energies to the development of the
postal telegraph and ocean cables. He has
been proclaimed as the man who was des-
tined to reduce telegraph tolls in this couIl-
try and establish system which would
bring the telegraph within the reach of the
common people.
MACKAY's AMBITION.
To accomplish this end he will have to
fight great vested interests, involving mill
ions of capital intrenched behind strong
political influence. To do this he needs all
the backing he can secure, and a direct
leverage upon the legislative branch of the
government. He has wealthy associates
and many strong friends in this state.

Charles francis Adams Talks.

The Union Pacific officials called at the
Northern Pacific office yesterday and spent
the best part of the day In consultation with
officials OF that company: President Charles
Francis Adams, Jr., of the former company
was seen in the afternoon by GLOBE rep
resentative. He has peculiar faculty of
talking without saying anything, and when
a reporter leaves him he knows
less than before the interview
Mr.. Adams said that he was
very much pleased with his Western trip,
and he was greatly surprised at the rapid
progress the Western country had made
toward settlement. Mr.. Adams thinks that
prospects are bright for a heavy traffic in
the fall Of grain and cattle. The ranching
business is assuming large proportions, and
is an industry that needs every encourage
ment to influence it's extension. The inju-
diciOus enforcement of the quarantine laws
has bad effect on the importation of cattle
into the Western territories. The corn
crop along the Union Pacific line
in Nebraska is looking fine and will equal
If not exceed last years crop. Mr.. Adams
had nothing to say about railways, cOn1ining
himself principally to agricultural matters.
Traffic Manager Kimball was in conference
with General Freight Agent Hannaford of
the Northern Pacific road during the after
noon. The party left for short trip down

which left at 9:30 o'clock. They will return
