President Harrison, complying with
the Act of congress of July 10th, has
issued his proclamation making Fri
day, October 81, a general holiday.
This is the recognition of the move.
ment to put the celebration of the
4ooth anniversary Of the discovery of
America INTO the hands of all the
people by giving it to the institution
closest to the people and most
characteristic Of the people-the
public school.
The movement undertaken by the
National Educational Association,
through an executive committee,
which has so presented it as to gain
the endorsement Of the press and
general popular acceptance in advance
of this proclamation. The procla.
nation is as follows.
Whereas, by a joint resolution ap-
proved June 90, 1892, it was resolv-
ed by the Senate and House of Rep
resentatives of the United States of
America in congress assembled,
"That the President Of the United
States be authorized and directed to
issue proclamation recommending
to the people the observance IN all their
localities of the 4ooth anniversary of
the discovery of America, on
October 81, 1892, by public de-
monstration and by suitable exercises
in their school and other places of
assembly,;
Now therefore, l, Benjamin Har-
rison, President of the United States
of America, in pursuance of the afore-
said joint resolution, do hereby ap-
point Friday, October 81, 1892, the
four hundredth anniversary of the
discovery Of America by Columbus,
as general holiday for the people of
the United States. On that day let
the people so far as possible, cease
from toll and devote themselves to
such exercises as may best express
honor to the discoverer and their
appreciation of the great achievements
of the completed centuries Of Ameri-
| can life.
Columbus stood in his age as the
pioneer of progress and enlightenment.
The system of universal education is
in our age the most prominent and
salatary feature Of the spirit of en-
lightenment, and It is peculiarly ap-
propriate that the school be made by
the people the center of the days de
monstration. Let the national flag
float over every schoolhouse in the
country and the exercises be such as
shall impress upon our youth the
patriotic duties of American citizen
ship.
In the church and in the other
places of assembly of the people let
there be expressions of gratitude to
Divine Providence for the devout
faith of the discoyerer and for the
Divine care AMI guidance which has
directed our history and so abund-
antly blessed our people.
In testimony whereof have here
unto set my hand and caused the
seal of the United States to be affixed,
Done at the city of Washington
this 2rst day of July, in the year Of
our Lord one thousand eight hundred
and ninety,two, and of the independ-
ence of the United States the one hun

THE SERMON TO woRKINGMEN.


The preacher a commonplace look
ing young man with brown NOUS
tache and an important air, wore the
military uniform, he was the Rev.
Clarence A. Adams, the pastor of the
First Baptist Church of Franklin, Pa,
Heis also the chaplain of the Sixteenth
Regiment. His text was 81 am ready
to preach the gospel to you always,
for | am not ashamed of the gospel OF
Christ.
He began by saying that he would
preach no special sermon to working
men, but he would preach precisely as
he would to his regiment or in his own
church at home, he believed that he
was talking to workingmen of intelli-
gence, to workingmen of education.
and he had no doubt that some OF
them were scholarly men. Then he
went on to talk about Saul OF Tarsus
and his heroism in rising up and speak
ing the words Of the text when Judea
was under the dominion of Rome and
when wickedkness was rampant, he said
also that ever since the birth of Chris,
tianity there were men ready to rise
up and speak the Gospel OF Christ,
men who knew no fear and whose
splendid courage did much for tine
cause of religion.
DR.. PoTTER'S SECRETARY LEADS THE
SINGING.
There was nothing really personal
in what the Rev. Mr. Adams said but
somehow or other it seemed to have a
personal application for all that. After
the sermon they sang more. Mr.. $40
cum who is Superintendent Potter's
private secretary, led the singing That
isn't exactly in Mr.. Potter's line, and
besides, Mr.. Slocum has a good tenor
voice. The German who led the or
chestra, whicl. consisted OF four viollns,
cello and cornet, seemed to have
some difficulty with the music. He
seemed to have a tendency to go of
into dance music In the afternoon
there was a concert. The orchestra
played well and the music sounded
swsetly through the big mill. The men
wandered in and out, as they chose,
and it was not until late in the after
noon that there were many there at
any one time. The music seemed to
have marked attraction for the for
eigners. They remained in the beam

HOMESTEAD, Pa, July 3Ist.-Echo-
ingthrough the big beam millto day were
the words of preacher and the sounds
of music. Never before has the Car
negie Company been SO soicitous for
the welfare of its men. Never before
did few hundred workmen gather to-
gether in mill and have a military
preacher talk to them about brave
man who dared to raise his voice on
all occasions.
Largest of all the buildings of the
Homestead Steel Works is the new
beam mill, which has been silent since
the lockout, more than a month ago.
Almost in the centre o. the mill is a
little space which is not occupied with
the massive machinery. This had been
cleared away and carefully swept. On
one side little platform was built out
of rough boards. On this sat the or
chestra and the minister. There were
,4o men in the congregation. The
others were said to be sleeping and
resting The men did not look like
men in church. They had on their
working clothes. Some of them did
not have tier faces washed. Few Of
them had on their coats. They sat on
little benches which had been made
for the occasion and on iron beams.
Many stood up because there was no
place for them 10 sit down. All of
them seemed i'll at ease.
MELODY IN THE BLACKENED MILL.
Bright new hymn books which had
been bought for the occasion, were
distributed among them, together with
sheet of paper on which were written
unfamiliar words. The orchestra took
up grand old hymn. 1t swept back
and forth through the great mill. The
people of Homestead heard it just as
they were starting for church dressed
in their Sunday clothes and looking
very fine and respectable. But the
people of Homestead did not know
the words that those whom they call
black sheep were singing inside the
mill. If they had they might have
forgotten their Sunday calm and smiled.
This was one stanza:
Strength to my falling heart.
My zeal inspire.

Warning Against the Newtown Creek
Nulanncea.

Since the determination OF the health and
the police authorities Of Brooklyn to enforce
the provisions Of the Shields act relating to
the stenches from the fat rendering and other
offensive establishments on Newtown Creek.
several arrests have been made by the police
in Williamsburgh. Last night policemen were

were bound for the glue factory. The police
stopped the wagons on the Greenpoint side.
Francis +. Williams, the superintendent OF the
Cooper glue factory. objected to police inter-
ference. Williams ordered the drivers to un.
harness the horses. which the men did. but
They were compelled to hitch UP again by the
police.
Tho orders received by the police were that
thoy should drive the wagons back to New
York in person should the drivers refuse to 20
back. Iioundsman Knapp ordered liuthenborg
to trive tho vehicle to New York. Williams
ordered the other drivers to return to New

subsequently released upon the appeal OF
Police captain Lhoades Of Brooklyn. 1t Is
supposed that Williams was responsible for
Euthenberg'S arrest.
