LABOR- DAY:
eBy an Act of the Dominion
Parliament, adopted in the Eession of
1894, the first Monday in Sentember
of each year -was Added to the list of
public _holidays, under the name of
Labor -Day. In the United States
there is no national holiday, no even
the Fourth of July.ongress has. at
various times appointed special hell -
days. In the second session of the
Fifty-third Congress it passed an Act
Making -Labor Day a holiday in the -
District of Columbia, and it has re-
cognized the existence of certain days
as holidays for commercial purposes, in
such legislation as the BankruptcyAct
but with the exception named, there
is no general statute, on the subject.
The proclamation of the President
desigeating-a day .of Thanksgiving
only takes it a holiday in those States
which proyide ty law for it. Last
year Labor Day was celebrated en
September 2nd in Alabama, California,
(olorado, Conueticutt, Dole ware,
Georgia Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Kan-
sas, Maine, Maryland, Massachussetts,
Michigan, Montana, Nebraska, New
• Hampshire, New Jetaey, New York,
Ohio, Oregon, South Carolina; South
Dlikota, Tennesee, Texas, Utah,
Virginia, and Washington; on Sept-
ember 7th in Pennslyvania; and on
September 12th in Florida. Accord-
ing to the Canadian Interpretation
Act the expression "holiday" inCludes
Sundays, New Years Day, the Epipli-
any, the Annunciation, :Good Friday,
the Aseensioa, Corpus Christi, St.
Peter's and St. Patin; Day, All Saint's
Day, CseCeption Day, Easter Monday,
Ash Wednesday, Christmas Day, the
birthday of the reigning sovereign,
Dominion Day, Thanksgiving Day and
Labor Day. To these it is customary
to add e civic holiday, the date for

THE. COAL STEAL.
Last February, the eleyen compan,
les -that control -the mines.. and rail-
-roads of the AnthraCite coal regions
organized a trust. The avowed ob-
jects were to - restrkt production and
to raise the price of the prodtiet-ex-
actly the two objects which the laws
of New York State and -the United
States tlenounce as crimes..
When the trust went into business
the price of stove coal was $3,50 per
ton. In March the trust raised ,the
price to $3.75, in May to $4, in July
to 4.25, this month to $4.50. Now the
trust announces to the . dealers that
next month the Price will go $4.75.
Lait fall this price of stove coal was
•$3.25. This fall it will be $4.75. The
time therefore proposes to take and
will take from your pocket this fall,
$1.50 more than you paid last fall for.
every ton of coal. you burn in your
kitenen stove or in your furnace, or
base -burner. It proposes to 'levy an
enormous tax upon every industry
that derives power from coal; thus ad-
ding to the depression which has al-
ready, caused many mills to close and
many ethers to go fipeoosnejt joule .
These lawless eonspiratoralitacenn ad-
ditional burden .upon business which
impairs wages; and. then _ levy. an ad-
ditional tribute on wages themselves.
It is not said, and it cannot be said
truthfully, that there was not a suU
ficent profit in anthartic coal at $3.25
a ton. Then it not than $1.50 addi-
tion to the price a -clean-cut steal ?
Is it not a direct, conscious, undis-'
guised robbery of the helpless masses
of the people who have small, or at
best ruoderate incomes? Is it not a
deliberate addition to the sum -of hu -
Man misery?. ' Yet there are those who try to fool

essrs. Lawrence and Johnston-,
who bought out Mr.. G. W. Berry's
furniture buoitie.ss in this village, have
ve-
removed their business tn.. the large
etane building next_ to the postspilice
and formerly used by Mr. Brampton
•essa drysgoods 'stare, The building is
admirably adapted for the furniture
-business and is now filled with a choice
Selection of all the 'ceding lines of
furniture and the latest -novelties in
brackets, pictures, etc. We think we
are safe in saying that Messrs. Law-
rence and klaheston have the largest
stock and finest warerooms to be found
in the furniture trade, outside of the
largest cities in the Province.
Cider and Jelly Mills
Mr. J. G. Anderson, who has for
some years past carried on the apple
evaporating business. in Lueknow, has
lately extended his business, and has
now one of the best and most complete
cider and jelly mills in the -province.
The new building is 50 by 24 feet and
a story and a half Mgle into which he
has placed a forty horse -power boiler
and a twenty- horse -power engine.
The new cider press, which has a cap-
acity of 150 barreIs:a day, is run by
hydraulic power and was manufactured
at Mt. Gilead, Ohio, by the Mt. 0,.i.ka4
Hydraulic P, --;ss Manufacturing'
whicerrJompany was granted
the highest awards at the World's
Fair in Chicago for cider presies, It
is a large powerful looking piece of
machinery and is undoubtedly the
finest press ef the kind in the Prov-'
ince. The jelly evaporator, which was
also supplied by the same Company,
has a capacity ef 25 gallons efjelly per
hour so that in order -t keep these
Machines running, it will require-. en
enormous quantity of applee. Besides
this the evaporating factory has been
running night and day for some time
peat and in this alone about .1.50 bush-
els of apples are worked up daily.
Mr. Anderson has shown a good deal
of ambition in this matter and we
trust his enterprise will be ample re
warded by d profitable business.

Why Outs are Cheap
Mr. C. C. James, Deputy Minister
of Agriculture for Ontario, gives four
reaaons for the low price of oats- at
present. (1) the great crop, (2)de-
crease in number of horses, (3) the
electric railway, (4) the bicycle. The
oat -crop in Canada has increased 26,-
" Q00,000 bushels in the last two years.
It is also believeed that there is a
reduction of 50,000 inathe number of
horses in the same tirne. .

14: 5, 6., In the evening he -will preach
'n the Granger's hall, one mile south

doubtless be glad of this opportunity
to hear Mr. Hamilton. °
It Wasn't "Catching"
A story is ping the round of a lady
school teacher in Braces who - having
an inordinate fear of contagious dis-
eases, sent a little girl home because
she said her mothet was sick and had
symptoms of something alarming..
The next day the child presented her-
self at school, her finger in her mouth
and her little bonnet hanging by the
string and said: "We got a little baby
at our house but- mamma told me to
tell you it isn't catching."
Removed His Warerooms
-Mr. A. T. Davison, furniture dealer
and undertaker, has removed his furn-
iture business from the east end to the
building just vacated by Mr. G. W.
Berry, next to Moody's barber shop,
where he intends to open out with a
large and select stock of choice furro
iture, pictures, etc. He will also
carry on the undertaking business as
usual at the old stand, but with the
new shop he will have more room and
be in a better :position than ever to
meet- the requirements of the .purchas-
ing public.
Chosen Friends
Mr. Wash. G. Collins, -Provincial
Organizer of the Chosen Friends, hits
succeeded in establishing- a strong soc-
iety in the village, .and on Friday
bvening leek twenty two chartered
members were initiated into the Order.
Mr. Collins is still in Lusktiow and
expects at the meeting this (Friday)
evening, to increase the membership
to over forty. As the name implies,
it is a social as well as .an insurance
Society and its membership is made
up of both ladies and gentlemen, and
as the rates for instfrance are extreme-
ly low, webave no doubt .but before
long this will be on4 of the strongest
societies in the village. -
Death of James Board

connection with the death of James
W. Boyd, Youngest gen of Mr. More
Boyd, North Main street Seaforth, and
'a brother of Mr. IV: H. Boyd, of Luck -
now, and Mrs. J, Robb of Mewls.
When a young ma.n of seventeen he
went to attend Toronto_ Veterinary
College, with the object of fitting
himself as a veterinary surgeon, but
he had only . been two months in the
city when he contracted typhoid fever
and for seven months lay io Toronto
-general hospital. Dr. Reilly, of that
institution; said that in all his practice
Ise had never semi a patient come
through such a seige of fever and live.
He came home a mere wreck and was
never able to shake off the after effects
of this severe illness. He subsequent-
ly learned the trade of a baker and
