Seeing New York.
From the New York Sun.

rrou tue New 1ork sun.
Some 1,600 immigrants, In the steeraRe of
three liners" enjoyed the refreshing air
Of Sunday on shipboard. Ellis Island was
closed and its employees took needed holi-
day. The steamship companies and some
persons tainted with comniercialism have
the fmpudence to complain because Ellis
Island Is to remain closed on Sundays in
August and September. The rule LIS an
admirable one. 1t impresses the immigrants
with the majesty of Sunday laws and with
the privileges of government employees. 1t
gives the former a whole day In which to
admire the magnificence OF the piers and
to study the commercial architecture of
New York 1t allows the employees time In
which to refresh and recreate themselves.
They come back Monday with new dis
position to practice toward strangers and
foreigners those amenities which have made
the whole immigration outfit of the United
States q subject of wonder and jealousy to
the rest of mankind 1t would be an excel
lent idea to close the island Wednesday
and Saturday afternoons also, and the 81
head tax should go to the employees for
vacation money
