4 Great Play he Labor Demonstration
1.-The swiss Celebration.

New YORK sept Z, '9l-A great
dramatic ''hit" has Just been
scored by the production, At the
Academy Of Music. Of the roman
TIC Spectacular play called The
Soudan.' Il was first brought out
at the Drury Lane Theatre, IA
London, where it run two seasons.
L Is SAID to be the largest piece
ever placed on the Academy :
stage, fdllv 500 people taking
part IN one scene. The story deals
with events which occurred dur
ing the ctmpaIgn for the relief Of
Gen. Gordon and the other Euro
peans, held as prisoners BY the
Arabs IN Khartoum during the
late Soudan war. The scenes,
which aie laid IN England and
Egypt, afford an excellent oppor-
tunlty Tor a display Of grandeur,
and the opportunity IS well I'M
proved. The realistic attack by
the English soldiers on the Desert
City aud the surgira crowd at
Trafalgar Square. London. cheer
ing the victorious Guards on their
return home, are striking pie.
tures never to be forgotten. Al
together, the play IS one of the
best of its KIND New York has
seen for years
The labor demonstration, winch
takes place to-duy, promises to
be the most imposing that has
been held since the celebration Of
Labor Day began. There VIII be
Two parades this year, clrcum
stance which, while dividing the
available forces, has served to
create Il rivalry and thus bring
out larger numbers. The Central
Union parade viii be composed Of
two brigades Of three divisions
each, while the parades of the
Central Labor Federation will
contain five divisions. Eleven
divisions, eacn one containing a
large number Of organ,zations,
will no doubt make 4 big showing.
The inevitable conclusion is that
fthe unions are becoming stronger
every year. The combinations of
the wo;kIugnien are growing as
rapidly as the combinations of the
capitalists. What the outcome
will be no one can toreteli. but
the sooner both sides recognize
ZACH others strength, the sooner
lasting peace will be established.
The Swiss residents of tins city
are now having a great three-day
celebration OF the 600th anni-
yersary of their freedom, which
dates back to the year Of our
Lord, 1891. The 32 SWISS socie-
ties of this city, as well as dele
gates from all parts of the United
States, are celebrating on a scale
which has never been equalled
here since the day Of our own
Centennial in 1886. The most
important feature of the festival
was magnificent historical
parade, which took place on Sat
urday. The various epoehs and
smportant events IN ihe-history Of
Switzerland, since 200 years b.
g., were Illustrated by a series of
tablelux, at once exceedingly
handsome and strictly faithful in
historical detail. On Sunday, the
second day of the celebration,
there were games, gymnastlc
competitions TOR prizes, grand
concert. banqu@ and speeches.
Monday will be devoted to a
grand yolks-ieslival, target shoot :
Ing etc. and il the evening the
celebration will wind up by a
grand display of fireworks.

MISSISSIPPI CROP BULLETIN.
Drouth and Rust GIVE Cotton a Set Back
Aided by Boil Worms.

TIE weekly weather crop
bulletin of the Mississippi State
Weather Service, cooperating
with the United States Weather
Bureau fol the week ending Sat
urday, September ), says:
The beneficial effect of hight
rnlns on the 3d in some sections
were balanced bs the succeeding
cool weather, Reports show that
untaYorable weather conditions
continue to diminish the prospect
of the cotton crop. During the
first part of The week the tenn
perature was normal, aud where
drouth and rust had not ruined
the prospect Of additional growth
there was prospect ol some I'M.
pTevement in the iate crop. Not
enough rain fell to relieve the
drouth, and the succeeding cool
weather Of the last three day is
repetition OF what occurred two
weeks ago. 1t seems to determlne
the fate Of the top crop of cot
ton, as the season is too late for
recovery from the cheek in
growth.
Cotton has Suffered most on dry
uplands, where the plant was
small, and the unshaded soil has
been parched. Occasional fields
that have made good growth still
promise II fair yield. Rast has
been specially injurious in the
souts ern part. In that section, in
many fields where the plant is
small, the whole crop of bolIs
seems to be opening at once. 1t is
doub full whether ram would now
prove generally beneficial to the
crop. The injury sustained durN
ingthe last few weeks has de
pended largely upon the character
Of the soil, mode of cultivation
and the size and maturity of the
pant, and Is therefore difficult to
estsmate accurately. III prospect
Is reported as from 20 to 40 per
cent, worse than on August |. The
outlook IS worse in the southern
than in the northern section.
Untayorab,e weather conditions
have Withdrawn attention from
the boil worm and caterpilla-. A
large brood of The latter is ex-
peeted to begin work in the south
ern pa,t of the Delta next week
Tie boil worm Is still at work
over a large area, but no great
Injury is yet apparent. All other
field and garden crops are feeling
the effects of drouth, excepting
those that have m3tured. Unless.
