The Day He Saw A,nsrics-Ifs Csiebration
Here.

The Day He Saw Amsrica-Ifs Celebration
Here.
To-day has been officially designated by
President Harrison, In his proclamation
appointing Friday. October 2ist. as day
Of thanksgiving and prayer or other re-
ligious observances. The purpose OK the
proclamation was the commemoratlon OF
the discovery of America.
There is a reason for the 18th OF Octo-
ber 1892 being the 18th OF October ls'I'
and 1t is properly the latter date on wnich
the discovery Of America should be ceie-
brated.
The Evening Star. OF Washington, yes
terday explains this by sayin:
The reason why the 18th OF October.
1892. is the 2ith of October 1892, Is not al
ways borne in mind II known. The Co
lumbus celebration is now. IL observed at
the proper or new date on the latter Day
The loss by the Julian calendar OF some
thing over eleven minutes year amount

when Pope Gregory XIII. altered the
calendar. TO ten days. This pope. with tpe
express or tacit consent of all Chriisten-
dom except the Greek Church. added this
time. and then. I'm order to keep the sched-
ule straight through all the centuries, pro-
vided that the yet remaining increment
each year should be accounted for In the
manner which marks the division agreed
upon in February OF that year, ratified by
English statutes U.ord Chesterf1elds acD

Of the following year By this plan every
year whose number in the common reck-
oning since Christ is not divisible by four.
as well as every year whose number IA
divisible by 100 but not by 400. shall have
365 days, and all other years shall have
$50 days. The difference between the old
Julian and the new Gregorian calendar
had increased to eleven days by 1852, when
the Engise Parliament adopted the latter.
Ii is now said to amount TO about twelve
days. Eleven days only are usually
added although il is not an infrequent
thing to see merely an addition or ten
days. According TO a severe calculation
those who wish to celebrate the discovery
of America at the true date Will have TO
do so on the oath OK October. The pro-
vision for national celebration in this
country on the 2lst instant was probably
made because the 2lst falls on Friday the
very day of the week on which land was
first seen by the admiral and his crew.
The Star elsewhere presents a slightly
different statement prepared by the exec
utive committee of the National School
celebration. It's own account is derived
from late standard authorities.
The Governor of Virginia mas issued
his proclamation making to-day legal
holiday In the state. The banks, city and
State Offices will be closed.
The following programme will be car
ried out in ell OF the public schools OF
