Pennsylvania Legal Holidays.
The new legal holiday to be known as
Dewey Day, w hich falls on May 1st, bas
brought to mind the large and increasing
number of holidays on the calendar.
The observance of Dewey Day, however,
grows out of the natural admiration for
the deeds of a great sea dog. and must in
i hat ivrinl be resoexied. Still, on the
ether band, it will be seen that we have
already more holidays than are kept by
the public and of such iiumlier as to in
terfere with business, for the bauks alone
are the only institutions which observe
days set apart. In a measure people for
get w hat holidays we have, so many are
they, especially in the month of Febiu
ary. At the present time tbe State rec
ognizes the following legal holidays:
Fifty-two Saturday afternoons, which
equal twenty six w hole days.
New Year's Day.
Election day in February.
Lincoln's Birthday. v
Washingtou's Birthday.
Good Friday.
Decoration Day.
Fourth of July.
Labor Day.
Election Day in November.
Thanksgiving Day.
Christina".
Add to these holidays fifty two Suu
days and we have a total of eighty-nine
.lays, leaving bu'. 2T'l of the 3tw days of
the year which the law recognizes as legal
business days. Samerst Cojnty Com
missioners do not recogniztj holidays, but

DIED FOR HER LOVE.
Somerset Coaaty Woman Commits Saieide
ia aa Allegheny Sesort.
WASTED EES L0V& TO DIE WITH HIE.
Because she loved a man and was not
ture that her affuctious were reciprocated
Minoie Fleck, a handsome brnottte, abet
hernelf in the bouse of Nellie Stevenson,
at 21 Sandusky street, Allegheny. The
police were for a time under the in;pie
fciuti lhatfche had bt-eu murdered and ar
rested four person who were iu theplaco
at the time. The unfortuuate suicide left
a letter in w hich she nees the name of the
man for whom she says she died.
Tbe Fleck woman has been an inmate
t1 the Stevenson house for about six
months. She came to Allegheny about
year ago. She was married and leaves
two children, who are at present living
with her paronts on a farm near Stoyes
town. Pa. Her father is Jeremiah Wilt,
a well-to-do farmer.
On Saturday night Minnie Fleck ap
peared to be iu good spirits. Her reput
ed lover, Joseph Walton, called to see her
in the eveuing and the two had a serious
conversation.
STOBT TOLD BY WALTO.V.
Walton told a newspaper report
er that Minnie asked him to go to her
room. Said be: "She said to me, 'We
will go to my room and blow out the gas.'
She bad been talking of killing herself
all evening, and I supposed ahe was only
trying to frighteu me. When ahe asked
me to die with her I left her and went
downstairs. Once she came into tbe
room w here I was and took a pencil out
of my vest pockeL Then she went back
to her room, whero she was probably eu
gaged writing a letter. Early iu tbe
morning she again came downstairs aud
said good-bye to meand her other friends.
About 5 o'clock we beard the report of a
pistol in the hallway on the second floor.
Blood was trickliug down the side of her
head. In her right baud she clutched a
revolver."
Police were attracted by the report of
the pistol, and wheu it was learned that
tbe woman was dying No. 2 patrol wagon
was sent for aud the woman was taken to
the Allegheny General hospital. She
died before the wagon reached there.
Tbe body was removed to the Pituburg
morgue. In the meanwhile tbe other in
mates of tbe house were arrested, pend
ing the arrival aud investigation by the
coroner. They gave the names of Helen
Scott, Theodore Baldinger, William J.
Young and Joseph Walton. Deputy Cor
oner George Kosslow made an investiga
tion in the afternoon and caused the re
lease of the prisoners, theie lieing noth
ing to indicate that they had anything to
do with the woman's death.
THE LETTER SHE I.KKT.
The letter found anions the woman's
possessions was evidently written hur
riedly. In the need of proper writing
material she wrote her death message on
two plain envelopes. The note is ad
dressed to "Nellie," proprietress or the
house. It says :
"Nellie Please and send my body to
my father and let mv- mother know that I
have doue this and M r. Joe Walwm is the
reason of all. Yet I love him and nooth
er. and hope that God will forgive me and
all my friends; and papa, I ask you to
take good care of my little toy and make
him a good horn, au . my little girl.also.
Good-bye. As 1 do this a I hope all
w ill forgive me. All have sympathized
w ith me. as I have suffered as much as I
can, and this man is the cause of all this.
I loved him and no other but him, and
he won't have no rest no more." Tho
letter was w ithout signature.
Aftr their release from the Allegheny
lockup, Walton and hi companions vis
ited the morgue to view the body. Wal
ton told Deputy Coroner George Kossler
that Minnie had frequently threatened to
end her life. She was separated from her
husband and seemed to abhor the life f he
was lending. Her one desire always was
that w hen she passed away he would go
w ith her. She became angry on Satur
day night when he refused to commit su
icide with her.
Walton says he has not known her very
long, and that they were good friends.
Ha said ha was led to believe that she
care, a great deal for him.
The children of the deceased are about
7 and 8 years of age. An inquest was
held Monday morning. The body will
probably be shipped to the home of the
woman's father nearStoyestown.
The woman wa married in Stoyes
town about twelve years ago to Edward
Bisbin, who later served a term In the
penitentiary for making counterfeit
money. The couple were divorced about
six yearn ago, Bisbin later marrying
another Slovestown woman, while his
wife went to Johnstown and started on
her downward career. She was man ied
a year or so ago to a man named
Fleck, who is now located in Philadel
phia.
Mrs. Wilt, mother of Mrs. Fleck, lea
her home near Stoyentown two or three
years ago, with three of her daughters.
for Minneapolis. Minn., where they have
since resided. James Wilt, Mrs. Fleck's
only brother, lives in McKeesport.
Jermiah Wilt is about fifty-five years
of age, aud appears to have had his share
of trouble w ithin tbe past decade. The
last time Mrs.. Fleck visited her father
was ln August last.
Constables' Fees and Tramps.
Actine under the new law. a Delaware
county Constable turned In last month I
bill for f0 for bis participation in the ar
rest of tramps, and tbe Media Ledger
looks with apprehension upon tbe possi
bilitiea of tbe law itself. "If this is kept
up ail over tbe county in the same pro
portion," it declares, "it will take but
short time to bankrupt it."
It may be that the county might not be
bankrupted quite as quickly as the Ledg
er fears, but it is certain that the people
would not long stand tbe systematic
"working" of tbe law upon such a plane,
The new law is not a bad law, and no
honest Constable will abuse it. but, like
all other laws regulating fees, those com
ing within its scope will have to be
watched and rebuked when they resort
to its abuse.
The whole difficulty, after all, arises
from the evil known as the fee system
which ought to be torn up root and
branch. Public officials of ail grades
should be paid a just salary for such work
as they perform, and have the temptation
to stretch any law removed. Philadel

After Xany Tears.
From the Philadelphia I'ress.
Jndge Bruoaker, of Lancaster, receut
ly rendered a decisiou which shows that
the statute of limitations is to be given a
wider application.
Away back in 1S0S John A. Gain be se
cured from the Lancaster county court a
decree of divorce from bis wife, Mary, on
tbe ground of her adultery. There was
no dispute about tbe adultery, tbe wo
man herself having made affidavit to the
fact in judicial proceeding which she
took against the reputed father of her
bastard child. John Gam be died shortly
after he had been freed from this unhal
lowed nnion.
More than thirty years after the grant-
ng of this divorce, and many years after
JohuGambe's death, his one-lime wife
concluded thit she would like to lie John
lam he's widow rather than his divorcee.
Gamhe bad teen union soldier in the
civil war aud was honorably discharged
at Camp Cadwalader, in this city, on or
before July l." The purpose of
aviug this divorce annulled after so
mauy years, as stated by tue couusel lor
Mrs. Gam be, was to enable her to apply
to the United States government for a
pension as widow of the dead soldier.
In order to have the court entertain
the motion to vacate the divo.ee granted
thirty years before John Gambe, known
by all the parties to be dead, was notified
by advertisement that the application to
vacate the decree would be beard on Oc
tober 22, !$, at i o'clock a. m., in tbe
Lancaster county court. This notice was
printed in the Lancaster Examiner in
three separate issues, but no affidavit
was made to tbe fact that the Lancaster
Examiner circulates in John Gambe's
present place of residence. Ttie court's
attention was not called to the omission.
however, and Judge Brubakerannulted
the divorce aud thereby revived Mrs.
Gambe's rights iu her doad husdand ou
the ground that the original divorce pro
ceedings were void because they were
brought in Lancaster couuty, where the
woman was living iu adultery, instead of
n Dauphin county, w here the aggrieved
busbaud had bis home, and where if
properly advised, he would have brought
his suit.
Mrs. Gambe, therefore becomes a sol
dier's widow and will receive a pension
unless th pension offic can find legal
ground for denying such aa unworthy
claim.
Still Kore Counterfeiting.
The Secret Service has unearthed an
other band of counterfeiters and secured
a large quantity of bogus bills, w hicb are
so cleverly executed that the average per
son woo Id never suspect them of being
spurious. ' Things of great value are al
ways selected by counterfeiters for im'la
tion, notably the celebrate ! Hosletter's
touiai:h Bitters, which has many imila-
rs but no equals for indigestion, dys
pepsia, constipation, nervousness ami
general debility. The Bitrers sets things
right in the stomach, and w hen the stom
ach is In good order it makes good blood
and plenty of it. In this mar. ner the
Bitters get at tbe seat of strength and vi
tality, and restore vigor to the weak and
debilitated. Beware of couoterieits wheu
