Greatest Celebration of Labor Day Ever

Parade of Labor Organizations at New

New YORK. Sept. 5.-Labor day was
favored with bright sun and brisk
breeze and thousands took advantage
Of the fine weather to enjoy days out
ing. Business was practically stopped.
In addition to the exchanges and banks
all the large department stores were
closed. Flags were flying from all pub.
lie buildings. and in some instances
there was a lavish display of bunting.
Although there was no united parade
Of labor organizations, there were lesser
parades all over the city. The Central
Federated union concluded to omit the
usual Labor day parade because SO many
workmen, including the tailors and
those of the building trades, are not en-
ployed. It costs $4,000 to $4,000 to hold
a parade, and this sum it was thought
could better be used in helping out the
unemployed and those on strikes. In
place of a parade the combined unions
will hold a picnic at Sulzer's Westches.

HASTINGS MURDER MYSTERY
Omaha Insurance Man Is Wanted by the

HASTINGS, Neb., Sept. 5-Itis claimed
that the man at the bottom of the mys-
terious death of Miss Laura Lee French
is an insurance agent at Omaha. Miss
French left Chicago on June II to go to
Creighton, Neb., to visit her sister, Mrs.
n. T. Gaesser. She stopped at Omaha
on her way to Creighton and was seen
in company with this insurance man.
She left Creighton on Aug. for Chi.
cago and expected to stop in Omaha and
Burlington, Ia. This is the last time
her relatives saw her alive.
It seems when she reached Omaha she
was met by this insurance man. She
told him of her condition and a trip was
arranged for her to come to Hastings
and remain there until she was in con-
dition to return to her relatives. The
medicine she took to relieve her is sup
posed to have been doped and her death
followed.

r~rAiDE or NAVAL VETERANS

March Through Philadelphia Streets
Amidst the Greatest Enthusiasm.
PHILADELPHIA, Sept 5.-The parade
Of the National Association Of Naval
Veterans yesterday aroused the greatest
enthusiasm. The first division was
composed of the United States naval
brigade, including marines and seamen
of the United States ships New York,

chusetts. Nashville and Detroit and the
marines and seamen of the League

We're the independent organizations of
naval veterans.
The campaign for commander-;n-
chief is waging warmly. 1t is one of
the fiercest contests that the G. A. r.
has been engaged i'll for long time.
There are three candidates in the field:
Acting Commander-in-Ch Chief w. O..
Johnson OF Cincinnati, Comrade Leo
Rassieur OF st. Louis and Colonel AL
bert B. Shaw of Watertown, N. Y. The
friends of each of the candidates claim

FRANCE FACES CRISIS.
Dreyfus Verdict May Lead to
Grave Trouble.
TROOPS ORDERED IN READINESS
Foreign Journalists Said to BE Singled
Out as First Victims of the Mob-Aus-
trian Political Refugee swears Guilt on
the Hapless Prisoner.

RENNES, Sept. 5.-As the end of the
Dreyfuss court-martial comes within
sight, the French government is begin
ming to exhibit fear that the verdict
may lead to trouble, and orders have
been given that two regiments Of infan-
try and one cavalry regiment, already
within hail of Rennes, to hold themselves
ready to march on the town at the first
sign of disorder and to occupy all
strategical points. The local anti
Dreyfus;ird organs, by their anti-for-
eign articles, have already singled out
foreigners as enemies OF the country,
and there is little doubt that foreign
Journalists will be the first victims of a
mob. not SO much Anglo-Saxons as the
/, Austro-G German and Russian Jews, who
form majority of the press representa-
ton Of their respective countries.
Yesterdays session opened rather
badly for Captain Dreyfus, as a surprise
was sprung upon the defense in the ad-
vent of an Austrian political refugee.
Eugene Cernuschi, who came out with
f1atfooted denunciation of the accused,
which, even though it may eventually
be proved a pure fairy tale, is bound
for the moment to exercise malignant
influence on the French people who
have not seen Cernuschi and are thus
unable to form a personal opinion Of the
man who launched these direct accusa-
tions against Captain Dreyfus.
Cernuschi' 8 appearance is undeniably
against him. Nobody even suspects
that he is what he claims to be, q scion
of the royal Servian house. On the
contrary, one would take him to be q
groom dressed in his best Sunday suit:
1t was remarked that as soon as he had
delivered his testimony. and NJ. Labor
had asked to have him put on oath at
today's session behind closed DOORS in
order that he might be punished IL
guilty Of perjury, he left the courtroom
and was not seen again.

the form Of q letter to the president Of
the courtsmartial. Colonel Jouaust, was

three distinct occasions, twice in France
aud once at Geneva, he was told by a
high placed foreign officer that sDreyfus
had communicated reasonable docu-
ments to q foreign power. In; the third
instance. he said the officer showed him
documents :ernanating from .Dreyfus,
and that this officer left France hur-
riedly two days prior to the arrest Of
Dreyfus. The allusions was evidently
to Colonel Schwarzkp ppen, the military
attache Of the German embassy in Paris
in 1894, whose movements were coin
cident with those described as those Of
