Labor Day repeal seen as spectacle of class bias
Representative Lyman urged the labor committee to repeal the first Monday in September as a legal holiday. He argued saloon activity, limited worker benefit, and that only a small portion of laboring people favor the day, while others call for shorter hours or more holidays for all. Colleagues debated public observance versus broad worker interests.

Taken for a Vampire in Belgrade Tale
A Pester Lloyd report from Belgrade recounts a man found frozen to death and buried within twenty four hours. At the graveside the hearse driver heard a noise in the coffin and fled with relatives as villagers fled a potential vampire. The coffin opened revealed a living man who had become insensible from cold after a night of drinking. Similar Paris morgue tale follows. The piece notes widespread vampire belief across Slavonic and Teutonic regions and suggests premature burial fuels the superstition.
