At least one Chinaman in this city
thinks America beautiful place and
accordingly he has named his first
born Me" which in Chinese means
beautiful and the word "Melica"
means beautiful country. The China
man who has paid the compliment to
this country is Sam Chong, a Main
street tailor. Yesterday he gave a
swell festival in honor of the baptism
of Me Gum. his 32-day-old Chinese
girl. the first and only Chinese baby
born in Spokane. Beautiful music Is
what the name Me Gum signifies
and her father says the front" name

relatives that she represents "Ameri

WASHINGTON. Sept. Tabor
Day. the workingman's holiday. set
apart in nearly every state of the
Union by legislation. is perhaps the
most universally observed. although
IT may not be celebrated, Of any le-
gal holiday. The FIRST celebration OF
Labor Day took place in New York
city September s. 1882. so that Labor
Day as an institution may be said
to become of age this year. The
Knights of Labor were then secretly
working in New York and many of
the local assemblies wore affiliated
with the Central Labor union. When
the first general assembly of the
knights of Labor began on Septem-
Der S, 1882, the Central Labor union
was invited to witness the parade
from the stand at Union square. That
was tho first Labor Day parade.

While the parade was passing Rob
ert Price of Homecoming. Md. turned
to Richard Griffiths. the general
worthy foreman of the Knights of
Labor. and said: This IS labor day
in earnest. Uncle Dick" The event
was afterward alluded to as the Ia
Dor Day parade" and subsequently
the day became known as Labor Day.
For time many Of the states chose
different days as Labor Day. In Cal
ifornia 1t was fixed on the first Mon
day in October, in Louisiana Novem-
Der rs, Wisconsin left 1t optional with
the governor to fix and some selected
other dates. Gradually the first Mon
day in September has become the
recognized Labor Day and is so fixed
by the executives Of states where it
is not designated by law. as the la

A STRANGER IN NEW YORK.

Of all the funny comedies that have
emanated from the prolific brain of
that popular play wright, Charles Hoyt
"A Trip to Chinatown" proved the
most successful from box Office
standpoint, but as these have all been
written for the money they would
bring it is but but fair that the box
Office returns should be taken as a
good basis of what constitutes success.
"A Stranger in New York." is the title
of Mr.. Hoyt's successful commedy, and
the very title seems to argue well for
its popularity. The piece is built on
the same lines as the famous "A Trip
to Chinatown" but it is claimed it
contains more of a plot or story, wit
tier lines, and altogether than it's pop
ular predecessor. "A Stranger in New
York" will be given here Monday ev-
ening Jan. S, at the opera house, when
it is promised the presentation in this
city will be identicaly the same as to
scenery, costumes and stage effects as
that given at Hoyt's theatre, New
York.

Dan Stuart Issues a Sweeping
Challenge

Ever since gambling was regarded
as past-time in the world, man, who
has a system figured out to beat a
game, has always been in evidence,
Napoleon once remarked that all
gambling games could be conquered
garded as a somewhat lucky man, the
system players have held to this idea
and bucked their lives away against
faro banks and roulette wheels, and
kept broke. In their confidence in
their own system they always overlook
that the fellow behind the lay out has
than theirs.
You cannot stop gambling as long as
one man is left on earth who thinks
he can beat some other mans game,
and the other fellow knows it can't be
beat. Recently the police CT New York
battered down the steel doors Of Can
fields palatial gambling establishment.
They found nothing that did not look
like private house, for Garfield has
been a good while in the business, and
knows how to protect his patrons, the
wealthy New Workers who frequent
the place Now he is sueing the city

dence and the majority Of the public
are with i'm.
Recently the Earl of Rosslyn an
nounced that he had system that
would break every faro bank in the
United States. At once Dan Stewart,
who runs about the biggest gambling
establishment in the west, at Hot

Question 10 Their Own Sat.
iSiactiOn Today.
QUERY: WHAT IS AN APOSTATE?
One Divine Says a Man Can Leave
Church and Join Another With.
out Being an ApOstate.

AZ O'Clock this morning the Teach
or the study IN Hebrews was again taxi
en- up and quite an animated discussion
took place on the Interpretation Of the
various passages contained IN the fifth
chapter The subject was that relating
to the selection OF high priests begin
ming with Aaron and as to the manner
in which he was called The Rev Glenn
enson Dr. Wishard. Dr. Mclean, DR..
McNiece and Or. Paden looked at II from
different points Of view. DR.. Wlshard
read the eighth chapter Of Levltcus,
which tells OF the manner In which
Aaron was chosen, and which shows,
according to their construction that
there were 10 particular things in the
ritual there employed
Dr. Wishard said he had been con-
fronted with the statement that he was
no priest and therefore had no right to
preach. Further DISCUSSION elected the
fact, to their minds, that the Apostles
were not called as Aaron was The
question was asked: what is n call
from God and how do we know we are
called?" Rev. Clemenon volunteered the
statement that there were two ways.
one was by direct communication and
authority from God and the other was
by way OF the divine Spirit The first
way was that believed IN by the Nor
mons and the latter the view taken
by other denominations.
The sixth chapter was read and led 10
the discussion Of the meaning Of the
word "apostaCy," Rev ClemensOn said
minister of the gospel here IN Salt
Lake had recently left the church to
which he belonged ana was called an
"apostate.' If a Mormon" should
leave his Church and give up the Book
Of Mormon and deny the authority of
Joseph Smith, he would be called an
"aposiate." This was not his nterpre-
tatlon Of the Biblical meaning of the
word. He claimed that "a man might
leave one church and go to another and
still remain a Christian and still be
saved
