The arrempt OF many leading business house.

Tina artenpr OF many leading business houses
In New York state TO procure the repeal OF the Sat-
urSiay half-hoiday bill has been only partly sue
cessful thus far. The state senate has passed q
bill combining the operation OF the saturday half
holiday rule TO the months OF June, July, August
and september. In the assembly a total repeal
bill Is nearing its final stages, with two amend
ments yet Enacted upon-one making Saturday
afternoons during July, August and september
hAlf-holidays, and the other making every Satur-
day during those three months a whole holiday.
The latter OF the amendments appears 70 have
more friends than the other, and. II t Is adopted
the whole work will have 10 be done over In con-
ference committee, with no assurance as TO the re-
suit
The agitation OF the general question has drawn
out many expressions OF opinion on both sides.
On one hand, attention Is directed to the way the
whole American people seem 10 have left the ex-
IRENE OF too few holidays and rushed to the oppo-
site extreme OF zoo many. New Years day, WASH
ington's birthday, Decoration day, Independence
day, Election day, Thanksgiving day and Christ
mas are observed In almost all states. In others
there are special holidays, like Labor day, Arbor
day and some local historical anniversaries. II to
these be added the ffty-two sundays In a year. It
vii b seen that the old talk about a scarceness of
HOLIDAYS Is somewhat of an exaggerat,on. New
York bankers. merchants, manufacturers and en-
pioyers generally contend, with much force, that
ouu 10 t1lS long lss q NUMBER OF nall DAYS,
amounting In the aggregate TO very nearly whole
month. is demoralizing rather than improving TO
the employed.
On the other hand, the clerks and workingmen
declare that they have altogether too many
hours Of labor and TOO few OF rest,
ana that all work and no play pre-
vents their giving their best energies 10 such tasks
As are assigned them. There Is doubtless much
truth In this But Is not a compromise possible In
some other way than by breaking days In two, or
multiplying general public holidays: The bene-
ats OF rest after ALL depend upon the use that the
one resting makes Of his time. II he Is forced TO be
IDLE, anu sit with his hands in his lap or seek
amusement In gatherings where drink is the chief
promoter Of sociablity, he Is worse OF for his day
OF ease than II he had never had II. II, however,
the art galleries, the museums and the public
libraries everywhere were open on those days and
during those hours which ara his own, there
would probably be need OF few, II any, more
recesses than now prevail; and IL may well be
questioned whether a slight shortening OF the
hours OF labor each day would not, in the long
run, do more good to all concerned, than the chop
ping out OF large slices OF time from the midst OF
the regular working week.

ANEW YORK WOMAN MURDERS HER
THREE CHILDREN
BECAUSE THEY WE'RE TO RE PLACED

bio Writings and Tortures of Her
Victims for Twelve Hours---Tho Woman
Pronounced Sane by Physicians.
NEW YORK, March 2e.-Mrs Minnie
L1ebuchner entered the police station at
an early hour Saturday morning and
told the sergeant in charge that she had
poisoned her three children because she
loved them and they were going to be
taken from her. The police rushed to
the house and found two OF the children
dead, and the third writhing in agony.
The child was taken to the hospital The
woman when arrested, said she was the
wife of a once wealthy brewer who
failed and died poor. She
was obliged to work for u
living, and the Bloomingdnle aid society
had taken charge Of her children. She
received letter front The society saying
that homes in the West had been pro-
cured for her children and that they must
be ready to start Saturday. She at once
decided to kill the children rather than
part with them. She procured "Rough
on Rats" and put it into her children's
tea. She related with wonderful COM
posure how the boys had been tortured
till death ended their sutrerings, and
how she Sat by the dead bodies for twelve
hours. The woman was examined by
physicians as to her sanity aud pro-
nounced sane.

Woman's Modesty.

Many women are prevented by feel
ings OF delicacy from consulting ply
sician in those disorders arising from
functional arrangement of her pecul-
iarly delicate organism, and the most
serious results are often caused by this
neglect. TO such persons DR.. Pierce's
Favorite Prescription is an especial
boon, as it offers sure and safe cure
for all those distressing disorders to
which women are peculiarly subject,
while it saves modest girl or woman
from the embarrassment of personal
consultation with a physician. "Fav-
orite Prescription" is the only medi-
cine for woman's peculiar weaknesses
and ailments, sold by druggists, under
a positive guarantee from the manu-
facturers, that it will give satisfaction
in every case, or money will be refund
ed. See guarantee on bottle wrapper.

FIRE, WIND AND Snow DO THEIR
FEARFUL WORK.

Among the items CT particular in
terest are the following:
The snow fell incessantly for fifty
hours.
At James Van Slyck's there is a drift
twenty-threc feet high across the road.
A man who lives on lower Main
street says the snow drifts at his house
are on level with the roof of his ri.
azza.
1t took six horses and a large gang
Of men to draw the engine from the
bank Of the creek hack to the engine
/ house, on Tuesday afternoon.
John Rogers, who has lived in this
vicinity nearly ninety years, says he
never saw such storm as this, or so
much snow in the streets of Valatie
Edward Packman says there is an
apple tree in his yard from eighteen to
twenty feet high that is completely
covered by snow drift. Next!
All the roads leading from the vii
lage are fence deep with snow. A road
to Niyerville was opened yesterday,all
previous travel having been done on
horseback through snow reaching to
the animals bodies. The lots are used
for three quarters of the distance.
Over towards Chatham the only thing
to mark the line of the road is the tele-
phone wires; the fences are out of sight.
A young woman living on the hill
went down into the village about noon
on Monday to mail letter. On her
way home she stopped to do some shop
ping and when she started for home
found she could not get there. She was
compelled to stay at the house of a
friend until Tuesday afternoon.
The experiences of January 18th in
Dakota sound like the report of mid
summer picnic beside the above.
