McBride's Great Grafton.
After dinner Hon. James Mcbride,
champion OF tho iaborer's cause, ap-
peared' on the veranda of the hotel and
delivered himself of mastery Grafton

subject upon which he Was speaking-
the labor question. He first spoke of

the people who performed the manual
labor were simply serfs. .uneducated and
ignorant. As time marched on, by
reason of the fact that . broader field
was opened, labor began TO rise. With
an effort the yoke was thrown OF. With

things in general Mr.. Mcbride brought
his listeners down to the recent street
car strike in this city, and went over
every detail from beginning to end.
He said that the demands made by the
men were not unreasonable and that
the railway company should have

Exhibisisn Of ehs Life saving Crew.
For the pleasure, as we'll - the edifi-
cation of the visitors, Capt. Morton and
his men from the life saving station,
rowed an air chambered boat out into
the bay between the steamboat landings
and gave an exhibition of what his
saw anything of the kind before. this
was especially interesting. The crew
grasped the side lines and turned the
boat over, submerging all on the inside
in the water. After remaining upside
down several minutes. the boat came
right side up with every man IN an
erect position. This was repeated sew
eral times. The water flowed out of
its own accord. It was clearly demon
strated that it was an impossibility to
sink the boat. As another illustration
OF their skill the crew shot . life line
over spar which WAS anchored quite .
distance out in Lake Michigan. A man
was clinging to the spar, and he made
the line taut. Then . life preserver
Was sent out and the man rescued.

with steam launches, sail boats and
row boats, while steamers conveyed
parties from one side 70 the other. A
larger vessel made trips on the lake.
Some cIImed the steep hills and viewed
the beautiful scenery, or walked
through the ravines in the vicinity. 1t
was day of liberty and each chose his
own road to pleasure.
Marrow Escape From being Drewnsd.
An accident occurred about three
O'Clock which would have been fatal
had it not been for the promptness Of
the life saving crew. Several parties
rowed out of the harbor towards the
lake between the breakwater and the
pier in email boats. Arthur Sherman
was alone in Hat bottomed skin. Yhe
waves were rolling nigh, and people on
the pier warned him TO Be careful. He
did not heed, and before he could rea-
lize IL ne WAS fioundering in the water.
A. u. Streng, Robert Shoemaker and
John Dutmer were near him in another
small boat. The men and women on
the pier yelled for the three 70 70 save
