Toilcrs Turn Out to Celebrate Their
Annual Festival.
The labor organizations of Chicago cell
ebrated Labor Day. with a parade in
which probably 10000 men participated.
practically every trades union in the city
being represented. The weather was
ideal and the streets were thronged at
an early hour by the sons of toll and their
families. Their shops and factories were
generally closed in recognition of the
workingmans holiday and all public of
fees, the Board of Trade and many down
town stores remained closed all day. The
chief attraction of the day was the speech
of William ]. Bryan at SharpshOoters'
Park in the afternoon. There was also
speaking mt Ogden's Grove by prominent
labor leaders.
Long before 2:30, the hour set for the
arrived of William j. Bryan, Sharpshoot-
ers' Park was filled with laboring men.
Outside crowd of unaumbered thou
sands had gathered, waiting impatiently
to see the apostle of free silver. Every
tree within hearing Of the speakers stand
was filed with those seeking an unob-
structed view. AS Mr.. Bryan's carriage
neared the park the densely packed
crowds gathered there set up q roar that
lasted for fully ten minutes. Then with
a rush the gates were broken down. The
police were powerless to control the
crowd, and in a short time the park was
one dense mass of crushed but still cheer
Ing humanity. No one was seriously in
jured in the jam, though one or two wom-
en- were removed in fainting condition.
The Labor Day parade in Kansas City
exceeded that Of past years in point of
numbers. Five thousand workingmen in
line passed through the streets, the beau
tiful weather making it a success. Bust
ness was suspended and the streets were
lined with people.
In Washington, ID. O., Labor Day was
celebrated with the usual street parade
and picnics and excursions by the several
union organizations. The weather was
perfect and an unusual number of sport
Ing and other events served to bring out
large crowds.
The workingmen of Milwaukee laid
aside their tools of trade and appeared in
gala attire. The weather was favorable
for marching and the parade in the fore
noon was voted success. Grand Mar
shall Frank Miller stated that he thought
be had 1000 or 5000 men in line.
Labor Day in Cleveland was celebrated
by a monster parade of workingmen in
which 1t was estimated that from 10000
to $1,000 men took part. A feature of
the demonstration was a number of
marchers representing celored slaves and
tramps, illustrating their views of the
present conditions of the workingman.

Purcing Them.eIves of Sin,

Thousands of people lined the docks on
both sides of the Chicago River in the
vicinity of 10Th street, Chicago, all Tues
day afternoon, and for the first time in
its history the muddy, sluggish stream
actually rivaled the Thames when its
banks are crowded with spectators at a
Henley regatta. The crowds that gath
cred along the edge of the south branch
was composed entirely of Russian Jews.
Men. women and children focked there to
perform one Of the rites of their religion.
Tuesday was New Years Day, on which
the Jewish year 1861 began, and part of
the ritual of the orthodox religion fol-
lowed by the Russian Jew is said to in
volve pilgrimage to the nearest water
side, where the worshipers repeat many
prayers and end by purging themselves
of their sins. This latter act is accom-
plished by energetic gestures, which SYM
boiiZe that the sins are hurled into the
water and drowned. The strange spec
tacle of several thousand people earnestly
reading from prayer books and tossing
unseen objects into the water attracted
other crowds which lined the 10Th street
and 9th avenue viaducts for blocks.
