Sunday Rest Bill.

Editor TIE Washington Herald
l wish to call attention 20 Senate bill
No. 40i which seeks to secure Sunday as
a day Of rest for the District of Columbia.
II is the same bill which was passed by
the United States Senate last winter. but
did not get past the House District Com
mittee. It's regulations are substantially
as follows. II forbids labor on the first
day of the week, except household work
and other works Of necessity and charity,
and excerpts newspaper publishers and
public service corporations and their en-
ployes
1t forblds circus, show, OF theatrical
performances. but excerpts sacred con-
Certs. II distinctly states that its pro-
visions shall not he construed against the
opening Of hotels or restaurants. nor the
delivery Of food before 10 o'clock IN the
morning between June and October, nor
the sale Of milk, fruit, confectionery, &c,
soda, mineral waters. newspapers, period
icals. cigars. drugs. medicines. or surgical
appliances, nor livery stable business,
nor the handling and operation Of the
United States mail
The mere announcement Of these de
tails is q complete answer TO any charge
OF narrownsss or severity. It is far be-
low the Christian ideal It is distinctly
a civil and not a religious measure. It
enjOins no religious duty and imposes no
restraint upon the religious liberty of any
citizen of the District. Il has, in fact. n
separate provision which exempts from
its penalties any member of a religious
society who observes as a sabbath any
other day In the week than Sunday. It
is eminently fair. It is supremacy an
effort to secure to the worSingman his
legitimate day Of rest. one Of the most
significant elements in this movement is
the fact that it has the eager and en-
thusiastic support Of the labor organiza-
tons of the District, claiming more than
5000 of our people

Lees Statue in Statuary Hall.

Editor The Washington Herald:
In your paper and in others have been
recently articles pro and con. on the sub
ject Of preserving in Statuary Hall the
statue of Gen. Robert e. Lee. The con-
tribution is made by the great State Of
Virginia, and the reason presented is
that he was a great general and a good
man.
This IS hardly justihable reason. No
one doubts the proposition. but that is
not the issue. II this is conceded. It
does not follow that. his statue should
be so located.
All the real fame that Gen. Lee earned
and TO which he is justly entitled, and
no one is disposed to dispute it. was
earned within and for his native State"
and for thu Lost Cause" whose capital
was Richmond. No Union man, no citi-
zen of the United States. no patriot Will
deny this. A mistake has undoubtedly
been made in shipping it to Washington
instead Of Richmond. where it rightfully
belongs. ]. FRAIsE RICHARD.

difference was noted in other localities.

sTEEPLEJACK TRIES SUICIDE.
Swallows Cyanide When Accused of
Passing Bogus Checks.

Baltimore, Nd, Jan. 23.-Steeplejack Au-
gust L. Eek, famed as a daring profess
sionAl climber. tried 10 kill himself, and
nearly succeeded, but is now believed 10
be on the highway Of recovery. Eek
is occupying a bed at the Johns Hopkins
Hospital, where he was taken immedi-
ately after he attempted his life and
where for a time it appealed that he
would not survive.
The steeplejack's attempt on his life
was made when he had decided It was
better to shuttle of this mortal coil than
TO go to jail He was at his home, %
North Clinton street, yesterday, when he
was confronted by Detectives Harry
Hammersla and John Kratz with a war
rant charging him with Offering an al
legged bogus check drawn on the First
National Bank of Gainesville for the
sum OF $50
The detectives found Eek in his dining
room When he learned who they were
and what they wanted he walked 70 a
sideboard and poured something in a
glass and asked the detectives to have
drink Of beer with him. After drinking
the contents Of the glass he exclaimed:
Il have taken enough cyanide of potas-
SUM TO kill ten men,"
The detectives summoned DR.. ]. W.
Schneider, who administered antidotes.
and Eek was then taken to the hospital.

Sick leave" is quoted as one Of the
benefits OF departmental service. It Ger

where it Is granted. Uncle Sans biggest
shop Of all grants no sick leave to its

legs severed at the knees.
Jackson removed the laces from his
shoes and tied them around the stumps
OF his legs in an effort to check the flow
Of blood. He then rolled over and over
in the snow for a third Of a mile to
