Close Tomorrow to Celebrate Labor
Day.
For the past eight years the large
cities of the North have taken some spe-
cial day in the fall as holiday for the
laborers in the employ of not only pri-
vate citizens, but Of the great corpora
tions.
In 1887 the Legislature of the State
of New Jersey started the ball rolling as
to making it a day for the Nation by
adopting this resolution.
ReSotUed, That the first Monday in
September to be known as Labor Day
shall be legal holiday and no person
shall be compelled TO labor upon any
of said days by any person or corpora
ton.
Oregon was the second State, at first
celebrating on the first Saturday in
June but later changing to the popular
day, the first Monday in September.
The only States which have other days
than this to celebrate are Florida, Sep
tember 12, Pennsylvania, September 7th.
Louisiana, November 25th'
In 1899, ten States were observing
labor day while to morrow nearly the
whole country will have holiday. The
following States having declared it to be
such: Alabama, California, Colorado,
Connecticut, Delaware, Georgia, Illinois,
Indiana, Iowa, Kansas, Maine, Michigan,
Montana, Nebraska, New Hampshire,
New Jersey, New York, Ohio, Oregon,
South Carolina, South Dakota, Tennes-
see, Texas, Utah, Virginia, Washington

iday in the District of Columbia, but ac-
coIding to the New York World there is

A MRRoIFUL PROVISION.

1t is comforting to know that in ex-
treme cases of bodily harm men suffer
less than is commonly supposed. Rustem
Pasha, now Turkish Ambassador in Lon
don, was once attacked by a bear, which
tore off part of his hand and part of his
arm and shoulder. He affirmed after
ward that he felt no sense of fear or
pain, what occupied his mind was feel
inc of anger because the bear grunted
with SO much satisfaction while thus en-
gagged
Sir Edward Bradford, an Indian officer
bears similar testimony. He was seized
by a tiger which held him with one paw
and then deliberately devoured the whole
of his arm, beginning at the hand and
ending at the shoulder. He, too, is sure
that he felt no fear. He believes he felt
q little pain when the f2ings went through
his hand, but is certain that he felt none
while the tiger was munching his arm
The author of Among men and
Horses from whose book the foregoing
facts have been gathered, relates an ex-
perience of his own bearing upon the
same point.
He was walking unarmed through an
Indian jungle, when a tiger sprang up
almost at his feet. For probably two
seconds, which seemed as many years, >
says Mr.. Hayes, che raced round me.
while stood stock still wondering why l
could net put out my hand and catch him
by the tail. That was the only thought
that occupied my mind during these
eventful moments. until. with a bound
and 2 growl the tiger disappeared into

LIS CUNNING SUGGESTION
By Cable to The Unttcd Press.

COLOGNE, April 25, 1Ss5-The "Koei-
nische Ze.tung'' has a special despatch
from Tientsin which says that Ii Hung
Chang recently, in the course of an in-
terview with foreign diplomats, express
ed at the large proportion of the Euro
pean press taking the side of Japan.
The Viceroy declared that it would be
a long time before Japan would permit
Europeans to share in her markets.
The .'Zeitung' ADDS that all OF the
EllrepeaRs trading in the far East share
the opinion expressed by the returned
Chinese envoy.
The Times in an editorial on the re-
ported protest of Russia. Germany and
France against the requirement by Japan
of any of the Chinese mainland terri
tory, says the report will arouse much
interest in England though perhaps,
the feeling predominating win be that
OF surprise. with a mixture of amuse-
ment. The Times doubts the genuine
ness of the protest but says if it is genu-
inc Russia is entitled to be congratulated
upon having achieved a triumph of dip
lomacy The fact that France and Ger
many are so slightly interested in the
question however, makes it appear like
a, game of bluff. Though Japan will
possibly see through this. her wisest
course would probably be to yield in
order to avoid a mistake which might
have grave consequences.
