Oyster Bay, Sept. 3.-To prepare
a half dozen addresses, each of which
will be read very generally by a ma
ton of 100000 people and all to be

LABoR's HOLIDAY.
Mroe Than 100000 Men and Wom-
en- Celebrate the Day Through
out the Country.

New York, Sept 3.-More than
5000 900 men and women, members
of labor organizations, spent Monday
celebrating the one day in the year
set apart in most states and territories
in the union as tribute to those who
earn their daily bread. From all
parts of the country came the inform
alton that laboring men and women
have Jared we'll in the last II months
and the day was celebrated with en-
thusiasm There have been fewer
labor controversies than usual, only
four during the year. Such other
disputes as have arisen between CAPT
arbitration.
The general situation throughout
the country is good from a labor
standpoint Wages, according to re
ports in the hands of the federal bu-
reau of labor, were never SO high in
this country as now, nor were there
ever so many men at work. Hours
have shortened rather than length
ened, and the remuneration, according
to government experts, has generally
kept pace with the increased cost of
living.
In this city great preparations were
made for the celebration of the day,
the principal features of which were
parades by members of the Central
Federated union and the Building
Trades councils.

PRESCRIPTIONS IN LATIN.
The Public Should Have Them Trans
lated by the Druggists.

What virtue is there in the secrecy
with which the doctor hedges about
his profession?
professional etiquette" occupies a
prominent place in the curriculum of
every medical school, and when strict
ly analysed professional etiquette
! seems to mean doing what is best for
| the doctor, individually and col
lectively."
Among the things that sis best for
the doctor is the writing of his pre-
scriptionS in Latin, and thus keeping
the public in ignorance not only OF
what it is taking for it's ills, but fore
ing call upon the doctor each time
prescription is needed
fsIn plain and unmistakable English
the writing of prescriptions in Latin
makes business for the doctors.
Let us say that you have the ague.
You had it last year and the year be-
fore. Each time you have visited the
doctor and he has prescribed for you
in Latin. You have never known
Fwhat he has given you for the disease,
and so each time you are forced to go
to him again and give him an oppor-
tunity to repeat his prescription-in
Latin, and his fee-in dollars.
If you ask the doctor why he uses
Latin in writing his prescriptions, why
he writes aqua" when he means wa
ter, he will give you a technical dis
sertation on the purity of the Latin
language, and the fact that all words
are derived from it, etc. 1t will be
dissertation that you may not be able
to answer, but it will hardly convince
you.
1t would be good thing for the pub
lie to devise a little code of ethics of
its own; ethics that will be "a good
thing for the public individually and
collectively"
Let us apply one of the rules of this
code of ethics to you, the Individual.
You call in the physician when you
have the ague, the grippe, or any of
the other ills to which human flesh is
heir, and which you may have again
some day. The doctor prescribes-in
Latin, and you take this, to you, mean
ingless scribble to the druggist to
have it compounded. Right here is
where you come in, if you are wise.
Say to the druggist that you want a
translation of that prescription. 1t is
your privilege to know what you are
taking. While the doctors code of
ethics may not recognize this right it
is yours just the same.
With the translated prescription in
your possession you have two distinct
| advantages. You know what you are
| taking. and should you wish to call
some other doctor at some time you
| will be able to tell him what drugs you
have been putting into your system
and also if you should have the same
disease again you can save yourself
visit to the doctor, and his fee, by
taking this translated prescription Il
the druggist once more and having i

Sedan, Kan, Sept 3.-Mrs. James
c. Barclay of Buffalo, N Y, and
detective named McAnany, formerly
of Kansas City, were arrested here
Sunday on a charge of attempting to
hdnap the incubator baby" from it's
mother. Mrs. Charlotte Bleakley Each
woman claims the child and the fight
for its possession has caused several
lawsuits. Mrs. Barclay claimed it by
right of adoption and Mrs. Bleakley
by right of motherhood. Saturday
Mrs. Barclay and McAnany tried to
take the child by force from Mrs
Bleakley's home
The two accused persons were
taken before Richard Speed, justice
of the peace, and released on bonds
of 81, 900 each, furnished by their
attorney, Senator w. S. Fitzpatrick
and c. II. Ingfield of this city Their
preliminary hearing was heard be-
fore Judge Speed Monday morning at
O'Clock. The defendants have been
in consultation with their attorneys
all day, and Sunday afternoon late
they and Mr.. Fitzpatrick left town in
a carriage and it is said that they
get the matter settled oct of court
This report, however, has not beea
verified.
For the last six months Mrs. Bleak
ley, the mother of the child, has been
living quietly at Chautauqua, but last
Thursday moved to Elgin, where the
grandmother of the child had been
employed to teach in the city school.
Mrs. Bleakleys identity had been
kept a secret to all except a few close
friends until she was stricken with
fever a few weeks ago.
At the time she feared that she
was going to die, so she wrote to
the husband who had deserted her,
imploring him as her dying wish to
take care of the child and not per-
NIT it to fall into the hands of it's
foster mother.
This letter was made public and
gave the clew to Mrs Barclay. Then
she and McAnany started for Elgin
hey waited at the hotel until only
a few minutes before the arrival of
the train, and then rushed into the
Bleakley home and found the mother,
grandmother and child seated at the
dinH6I IdDIS
They grabbed the child and started
for the Santa Fe station Immediately
the mother recognized Mrs. Barclay
and started after them, crying to
those on the street that her child
had been kidnapped. The kidnapers
rushed into the little station and bar
ricaded the doors, but the railroad
agent and the citizens who had been
attracted by her screams forced them
to open up and the stories of both
women were listened to. Then there
was a free-for-all scramble for the
child Seeing that their plans were
frustrated, the child was returned to
its mother.
Eugene Hayes, who had assisted
the two in securing the child from
the house, says that he thought he
was assisting a mother to get child
that had been stolen. A letter from
a Kansas City detective had given
him that impression.
Mrs. Bleakley is too i'll to come to
Sedan, but her mother, Mrs. Temp
kins, will be here with others to teSti-
fy in the criminal case. The sheriff
had three men guarding the house
occupied by the baby Sunday night
and says that he will protect the
child so long as it is in Chautauqua
county. 1t is not believed now that
hayes will be prosecuted for his part
in the affair.
