CARBONDALE.
LABOR DAY PARADE.
Thousands of Mine Workers in Line.
Picnic in the Afternoon.

The labor organizations could not
have had a more favorable day than
yesterday for their parade. 1t was cool
and clear and everything moved along
with spirit. Yesterdays was the first
purely labor demonstration Carbondale
has had in many years and it was the
result of work done recently by organ
izers in this section.
1t was after II o'clock when Grand
Marshal r. ]. Padden gave marching
orders. lie and his aides were followed
by a platoon of mounted police, after
which came the city officials, Mayfield
band. Archibald. Jermyn and Mayfield
unions, LaCkawanna drum corps, Simp-
son union, Carbondale unions, Nos. Si4
and S77 and the Carbondale Juniors.
About three thousand men were in
line and the procession placed the
miners before the public in a new and
favorable light. Their numbers and
general appearance conveyed the i'm
preston of strength.
In the afternoon the assemblage re-
paired to McLaughlin's-bette known
as Murdock's-grove and had a picnic.
There they We're Joined by mothers,
wives, children and sweethearts and a
merry time was had until late in the
evening.
The success of yesterdays affair will
doubtless encourage the United Mine
Workers to further efforts.

bllities of the busy little magnetic core
of the roulette ball. These are instan-
ces Of the turning Of electrical prln-
clples to dishonest ends. One of Mr..
Morgan's illustrations OF fakes, pure
and simple, Is the Kansas electric
spring" to which thousands of people
continue to flock for the cure of their
ailments until it was discovered that
the patients got their shock by stand
ing on an iron plate connected with
a battery a short distance from the
we'll As a personal experience. Mr..
Morgan tells of "a doctor who invited
his approval of an electric lounge"
After showing the mechanism of the
lounge, which consisted Of thirty-two
electric magnets underneath the sur
face, he "explained that with the
double-throw switch he could get a
steady stream of magnetic lines
through your system. much as you
would spurt water on a chained dog,
and with the other throw of the switch
he had instantly the short-arm lab
effect derived from the Alternating
current" The sequel of the investiga-
ton is thus told: Upon closer exam
ination / saw that one of the wires
was disconnected. The willy contractor
had simply wound the magnets with
only scrap wire he happened to have
and then left the circuit open knowing
that the machine was as potent with
out the current as with 1t. An en-
ploye of the firm that made the ma
chine was present, and at my sugges
tion he reluctantly closed the circuit
and threw the switch on the short -arm
jab' side for a trial trip The effect was
marvellous. The thirty-two magnets
vaporized like shots from a rapd-firo
iX-pounder. the excelsior stuffing took
fire, and the doctor danced around
wildly and howled Turn her off.
Turn her off," When the current was
turned off and the dense white smoke
from the excelsior and the slckening
fumes from the burnt shellacll
and varnish had somewhat abated,
there was seen the electric lounge in a
wreck, the chandelier in the same con-
dition. a group of excited tenants. who
had rushed in from the adjacent offices
and a very woeful and disgusted "elec-
trical doctor"

Taking for his text the reverend"

toriety, Jacques l.. Morgan pays his
addresses to modern electrical fakirs,
whose operations he says, are charac-
terized by impudence which is sue
cessful only because it is so colossal as
to paralyze all attempts to gauge
1t. The antediluvian electric belt scien-
list still charges his harness with red
pepper, and the electric bottle man pro-
duces the gentle illusion of his craft
with essential oil of mustard: the dis
honest jockey simply lets his mount
loaf along till he is on the home
stretch, when he connects his noble
steed with the electric gear under
his saddle, and the effect is instantan-
eous. The burglar now discords the
Jimmy and drill, and melts his way
noiselessly into the treasury safe with
a carbon and a few feet Of wire. The
