distressing incident is reported from Micht
gan. where young woman appears to have
been actually frightened to death by q
threatening letter from so-called White Caps
The letter was decorated with a skull and cross
bones, done in red ink, and informed her that
she had been "white-cspped" by twelve Of her
best friends. and would receive only two more
warnings. 1t is believed that the threat preyed
deeply on her mind Certainly she became greatly
affected and spasms resulted, followed by hem

wanton outrage it Is not easy 10 imagine. The
perpetrators of it ought to be discovered and
severely punished. The White Cap business has
been carried altogether too far. The law should
resolutely put down every attempt of the kind
wherever made and for whatever purpose.

The Committee on Contagious Diseases has,
however, been considering the cigarette and
has submitted a report thereon. Having reached
the conclusion that Congress has no power to
prohibit the manufacture and sale of cigarettes
the committee recommends that the importa-
ton of tobacco in this form be prohibited, and
that the making and selling of cigarettes be
forbidden In the District of Columbia and the
Territories. Senator Harris is responsible for

Preparations Now Being Made for Z
Grand Celebration.

Grand Celebration.
Labor day 1892 will be celebrated on
. more magnificent scale throughout
the United States than ever before,
and the observance of tho day in this
city will far surpass any previous
effort. While it is yet early to give q
detailed account of the preparations
safe to predict series of agreeable
surprises, not only to organized labor
but 70 the whole city as well. Half
city will undoubtedly prevail, and ~
tised it will bring thousands OF persons
into the city from surrounding towns
and villages.
The parade will be the feature of the
day. Some 5000 men will participate.
After the parade an old-fashiOned pic
nc, speaking, sports, games ETC., for
the promotion of which business men
at the lake have donated literally.
The general Labor day committee that
has the entire matter in charge Is COM
posed of six members, three each from
the Central Labor union and the Build
ing and Trades council as follows:
Cyron +. Fisk, chairman; Jacob Taz-
elar, secretary treasurer; p. II. Thomp-
son, Charles E. Peterson, A. Anderson
and one other. The committee re-
quests that those having the matter in
charge for the different organizations
will hold themselves IN readiness to
