Show Won't Keep the Sabbath Holy. Philadelphia, January 31 Major Smith's proclamation, issued at the request of the Sabbath Association, calling attention to the law of 1794, forbidding any worldly employment employ-ment or business on Sunday, was generally ignored to-day by shop-keepers and others. The proprietors of cigar stores, barber shops and confectionery stores continued to do business in the usual way. Milkmen and newspaper carriers went about their usual avocations without fear of the vengeance of the Sabbath Association. The published penalty of a fine of $4 or six days' imprisonment impris-onment in the House of Correction for any violation of an absolute and almost forgotten forgot-ten law, did not seen to have any terrors for the class of people whom the Sabbath association asso-ciation desires to reach. It ia generally believed be-lieved the law cannot be enforced unless strenuous measures are resorted to by the Sabbathaians. , |
