Not Even the Labor Day Act Creates One
Say the Lawyers.

Not Even the Labor Day Act Creates Ono,
Say the Lawyers.
There would seem to be no such thing
in this country as q national holiday.
Lawyers assert that even Labor day,
which was set apart by act of congress
in 1894 in such manner as to lead the
confiding layman to suppose it at least
to be national holiday, is not such
outside of the District of Columbia un-
less by state enactment. The creation
and regulation of holidays have been
left entirely to the legislatures of the
individual states.
The act of congress concerning Labor
day was approved June 90, 1894. It pro-
vides "that the first Monday of Septem-
Der in each year, being the day cele-
brated and known as Labor day, is
hereby made legal holiday, to all in
tents and purposes, in the same manner
as Christmas, Jan. l, Feb. %, May 80
and July are now made by law public
holidays
Clearly the proper construction Of
this statute can be arrived at only by
reference to the provisions bearing upon
the other holidays named. The act max
ing holidays of Jan. 1, July 4, Christ
mas and "any day appointed or recon-
mended by the president of the United
States as day of public fast or thanks
giving" was passed in June, 1870, and
was restricted in its effect to the Dis
trict of Columbia. These days are holi-
days in the various states only as they
arc made SO by the various state legis-
latures.
The act Of Jan. 81, 1879, makes Feb.
20 legal holiday, and the act of Aug.
81, 1888, does the same for May 80,
and both are restricted in their applica-
ton to the District of Columbia. The
act referring to Labor day says nothing
about the District of Columbia, but it
does say that the first Monday of Sep
TENDER shall be legal holiday, "to all
intents and purposes, in the same man
ner as Christmas, Jan. 1, Feb. 90, May
30 and July are now made by law
public holidays"
The intents and purposes for which
and the manner in which those days are
made holidays are expressly limited to
the District of Columbia, and SO, by
necessary inference, is the act referring
to Labor day.
The misleading language Of the Labor
day act has led-to prevalent statement
that the first Monday of September is O
holiday throughout the United States
by congressional enactment.-NewY York

The recent arrest in Luzerne county.
Pa, OF nine Italians has brought to light
the fact that the gang of assassins and
highwaymen that has for months past ter
rorized that locality was q branch Of the
infamous Malta society, which has been
fransplanted from Italy to this country.
Several of the prisoners have confessed
that they worked under orders received
from the headquarters of the Malta in New
York and Philadelphia.
There is every indication that tho organ.
ization now being broken up is the worst
lot of thugs that has vexcd this country
since the citizens of New Orleans took the
law into their own hands and exterminated
that brood of Malta murderers who brought
q long series of assassinations to an end
by ambushing and killing David Hennes-
sy, the chief of police.
The thoroughness with which the GRIM
inal enterprise was organized in Luzerne
county is indicated by tho fact that James
Passarella, the leader Of the gang, was
sent on from tho Malta headquarters In
Philadelphia for the express purpose of
experimenting and directing the work of
the lawbreakers. When dynamite was
wanted for the blowing up Of n house, a
bomb was manufactured in Philadelphia
and sent by express. Every detail of the
business was carefully planned.

Although Mrs. Collins's writing has

incessant mental exertion could not
fail to have its effect on her ner-

At one time she found herself tired

prostration staring her in the face. The
general toning up that her system

fectly we'll and strong again, busy as
ever with her brain and pen, and
