There was a particularly SreWsome in
stance in cigar factory at Philadel-
phia, last week. There were 1900 per-
sons working in the building, some OF
them men, but most of them young
girls. A boy net with an accident,
and an ambulance was sent for. From
this circumstance sprang reports of
men and girls made a mad drive for
the exits, with the result that Il were
killed and 30 others more or less in
jured, some fatally. Had they been
calm in the presence of the fanciel
danger, there was ample time for an
orderly escape from the building; had
there been one strong -willed, quick

wonder that not more than Il dozen
were killed and half a hundred hurt.
Such are the fearful terrors and dan

EnaIand's Latest Cause for Worry.

England is finding lot of things to
worry about, these days. Quite apart
from the South African war, the Irish
uneasiness, the coronation and other
home matters, there are things being
said and done on this side of the ocean
which are causing her statesmen
slcepless Nights. The great steamship
trust of ]. Pierpont Morgan is one
cloud on the British horizon. Some
English editors and statesmen see in it
the loss of English commercial suprem-
acy on the seas: others fear that it will
be used to flood England with Ameri-
can manufactured products; and others
see other dangers. The recent speech
of Secretary Shaw at Pittsburg has al
so caused much Uneasiness among our
British cousins. He only stated the
truth one way to help along American
maritime supremacy is to build at
once the isthmian canal, but the Wig
orous way in which he emphasized this
important truth has set the British
press by the ears.
In commenting upon it the London
Globe says: We have been threatened
before through q thousand years of our
history; ana we have had many rivals
who were, ana are not" Perhaps
England has had commercial rivals

A correspondent of the Bangor Com
mercial wants information about the
legal holidays in Maine and Brother
Boardman gives it to him in bulk. He
says: Holidays are entirely a matter
of statute and contract. The observ-
ance of the Lords day, so far as secu-
lar matters is concerned is regulat ted
by statute, and the effect of holidays on
the business world is regulated by
statute. There are days which the
courts recognize as Dies non, or non
judicial days. NO court can be holden
on Sunday, or Fast day or Thanksgiy-
ing day, on the days of an election for
Presidential electors, on May 80, on
July H. on the day of a state election, or
n Dec. 25. Bank holidays, in this
State are: Jan. /; Feb. %; the day
appointed by the governor and council
for the annual fast; May 80; July 4
Sept. 2; the day appointed by the gov
ernOr and council for the annual
thanksgiving, and Dec. %. No civil
process can be served on such days nor
can such process be served on the
Lords day. The banks close on these
holidays as they do on the Lords day;
and "A note falling due on any one of
the above named days must be paid on
the day preceding. AS to the holidays
that workingnan is entitled to, as
cur correspondent enquiries, they de-
pend entirely upon statute and con-
tract. No man can be prevented from
working on the above named holidays,
but he can be prevented from working
on the Lords day, not because it is
Sunday, but because the statute for
lids it. IL a man is at work for an
other by the day he can refuse to work
on a holiday, but if he works he can get
his pay for it. If he is at work on a
contract, say for instance on six
months, and any one of the above
named holidays comes within the time,
if he does not work he does not break
his contract, and can have full pay
though ne has not worked on the day"

of a commotion in the Maine cities it

comment and not the kind that helps
in public patronage. The explanation
is made that this was their first trip
away foom home and all can well be-
lieve it. y gang of college boys and
other say youths from this and other
states assumed the roll of camp fol-
lowers and from every hotel in Maine
which sheltered the aggregation comes
tales OF high-old times for the

that the brass constitution of these al

fore they are again inflicted upon a
suffering public.
