Fire at the Hospital.

Fire at the Hospital.
 Fire broke out in the dispensary of the hospital at 9:3O o'clock yesterday morn- ing, caused by the explosion of a can containing five pounds of carbolic acid that was heating over a gas stove. The dispensary was soon developed in flames, and for time there was a prospect for quite fire, but the apothe- cary set to work to, extinguish the flames single handed and succeeded.
 An alarm was sent in by some of the attendants, but before the apparatus ar- rived the fire had been extinguished. It was an exceedingly pretty piece of work for one man to fight such fire, as the flames were burning the ceilings and destroyed many of the chemicals A wardrobe was also burned. By quick work the fire was confined to the dis pensary.
 The woodwork of the room was pretty well burned out,or scorched and a con siderable quantity of the chemicals de- stroyed. The loss will reach from $50 to $100. and is covered by insurance.

A GREAT DAY FOR LABOR.
NATIONAL HOLIDAY FITTISGLf CELEBRArED LOCALLY.

fhousands Were at sayin Rock-both Hall
 Games Won by New Haven Team-Busi-
 ness Generally suspended-h. C. bsia-
 wins Remarks at the Grove.
 Labor day was celebrated yesterday by the several labor organizations or the city in a manner which has never been excelled and seldom equalled. It Is probable that never in previous years has there been such q large number of iaboring men in any labor day demon- stration. and the entire program went through without a break. The day was as propitlous as anyone could desire, and consequently an unusually large number of the working classes of the city thoroughly enjoyed the great na- tionai holiday. The principal events of the celebration were held at savin Rock, and 1t is safe to say that at no previous time in its history has the "Coney Island of Connecticut" accom- modated such a large crowd as 1t did yesterday afternoon and evening. Fully 15,Oo0 persons were present at the Rock during the afternoon and evening.
 The principal feature of the morning was the parade of the several labor or ganizations of the city. There were about 1,200 workingmen who took part in the parade. which was one of the best ever given by the local Knights of La bor. At 9:15 o'clock the order was given and the long procession moved out of the north gate of the green down Elm street to Church street, down Church street to Chapel street, to Wallace street, to Grand avenue, to State street, to George street, to Church street, to Chapel street, to the green, to Dixwell avenue, and then countermarched to the green where the parade was dis missed and the several organizations dispersed to their various points of in- terest, the majority going to Savin Rock.
 Horace L. Carter acted as grand marshal, with John Mullen and John Kenney as aids. This trio led the pro- cession at the head of the first division. The order of march followed in the parade was as follows:

TIE CHINESE WAY.

China 10 slow, unprogressive country,
tied up by traditions OF the past, looking
to antiquity for its model and inspira-
ton and consequently not likely to be
selected by modern civilized countries as
capable of furnishing even a hint for
their guidance.
And yet in reading the news from
China the cartoonist of 1.-THE Evening
World" has noticed that as soon as war
was declared and the Chinese troops
began deserving. the Chinese command
ers straightway began cutting OF the
heads Of the deserters, and he has APP
piled this idea from China to the situa-
ton In the United States.
How fortunate II 10 that we are living
In the United States instead OF China
How fortunate II 10 that milder and
humaner methods prevail. II would be
a terrible thing II Uncle Sam should Gu,
off the heads Of those Senatorial de-
serters who have deserted from the
army Of Tariff Reform. from the cause
to which the country was pledged by It's
electoral verdict of two years ago.
And yet II IL sad to think that there Ia
a prospect OF these deserters dying OF
old age before the country gets that
Tariff Reform which Il expected from
them.

PRISON LABOR.

The Constitutional Conventions com.
mlttee CT state Prisons has agreed to
recommend a constitutional amendment
directing the Legislature to provide for
the occupation and employment OF con-
victs. but forbidding the contract sys-
tenn for prison work. That IA a provls
Ion by which IL II designed to allow prison
made goods to be used by the State OF
any subdivision thereof, bu, to prevent
their sale on the public market by con-
tractors and their competition with the
work OF honest labor.
This In sneered at as communistic
movement by the enemies OF labor organ
lzation. because It was proposed and
Urged by the representatives OF the labor
unions
A contract system in the State prisons
Is vile one, as injurious to the convicts
az IL Is unjust to the honest workingmen.
Under 1t the prison authorities and the
contractors are always found In coiu-
sion. contractor gets all the men he
can probably employ, thus forcing the
convicta into one line OF occupation for
which they are probably wholly UNITED.
The negro slaves on a Southern plan Ia ton
were never worked as numerically nor
treated as cruelty by their overseers as
the convicts are by the contractors. The
slave-owner was at least careful Of the
life Of his slave as property. The prison
contractor will work the convict to death

BY collision with the prison people the
contractor gets advantages that enable
him to sell his prison made goods at a
price ruinous to honest labor. Every
body knows how the range and stove in
dustry in this State was absolutely
ruined by prison contract competition.
1t Is proper that prisoners should be
employed. 1t Is the worst kind Of bru-
tality to keep them idle. 1t is in the
public interest and In the interest OF

Choosing Chickens.

In selecting poultry the best way to
determine whether 1t Is young is to
try the skin under the leg or wing; II
it is easily broken, it is young; or. turn
the wing backward; IL the joint yields
readily, 1t Is tender; a fat fowl Is best
for any purpose. After a chicken or
fowl is killed. plunge it into a pot Of
scalding hot water; then pluck OFF the
feathers, taking care not to tear the
skin; when 1t is picked clean. roll up .
sheet OF white wrapping paper, set fire
to II, SINCE Off all the hairs. Poultry
should be carefully picked. and nice

vent will be close, and the flesh have .
