Bright Skies and Refreshing Breezes
for Yesterdays Demonstration.
II has been recently remarked that
Labor Day is sort OF q new holiday
around here, and consequently not much
OF q celebration was to be expected yes
terday. Nature evidently didn't look up
on IL In that light for certainly no day
ever dawned clearer and the sun never
shone more brightly than yesterday; 1t
shone In the early morning just as il IL an
tIcipated big celebration In honor of the
horny listed sons OF toll, and ii kept II
up until It saw the moon coming up the
other side to relieve It,

lures were conspicuous by their absence

breasts OF all, capitalists and laborers
alike, when the fine procession passed I'm

each other (it was a healthful competi-
tion) to see which could put up the neat
est and most attractive appearance and the
result was that, while some were a little
more fortunate than others in choice of
uniforms, etc, all contributed to the en-
phasis. II such were needed, of the high
standard OF American working men.
