Berlin Church Sittinrs,

According to statistics published by
the ecclesiastical authorities, there are
only SS,712 church sttlngs in Berlin.
As Berlin Is city with nearly 1,75O.-
600 inhabitants. the probability is that
there Is no other Protestant city In the
world where the dlsproportion between
population and church accommodation
Is so great The empress has done
much recently to provide new churches
In congested districts, but the popula-
tion is growing at rate far In excess
Of the church building.
Owing to the enormous size OF their
parishes Berlin clergymen are greatly
overworked. According to statistics,
some Of them have to attend to the
spiritual needs Of more than 10000 per.
sons.
Another curious report is that 10 per
cent Of the total baptisms registered In
Berlin are those Of illeg,timate children
and as large numbers of illegitimate
children are not baptized It follows that
the total number must be much greater
than 10 per cent.

A Watermelon Feast.

A short time ago there arrived at an
East river pier a small steamer loaded
to gunwales with watermelons and
manned by crew Of negroes. The
men on the neighboring docks watched
with great interest the process of un-
loading. for 1t was evident that the
roustabouts would far rather eat the
melons than pile them in wagons. They
broke a good many, and others were
not perfect. so when the last CARLOAD
was driven away there was still a
great, luscious pile of fruit, eatable,
but not salable. The boss of the fob

The watermelon party that night was
attended by hundred or more able
bodied 'coons." and after the refresh

celebration the news of the gathering of
the members of the unions of the state
in Butte on that day comes as cheerful
tidings. The plan is auspicious for the
erea est labor day celebration I yer held
in Montana.
An Inter Mountain reporter called at
the headquarters of the Western Labor
union in the Silver Bow block today and
asked President Daniel Mcdonald of the
affiliated unions of the state what he
thought of the plan of the committee.
It's a splendid idea,' said Mr.. McDon-
aid, enthusiastically. II have not known
before what the boys on the committee
s.ad in mind. They generally keep their
plans pretty well to themselves until
they are fully matured, but there is moth
ing to prevent Labor Day in the city of
Butte being one of the greatest events in
the year if the excursions from various
sections of the state are arranged. If

side of Butte attend there will be an
army of men brought here on that day."
What is the numerical strength of the
unions in the outside counties?" was
asked.
"Well, it is hard to say, "replied the
president of the allied organizations. "In
many of the counties the unions include
nearly all of the men employed in occu-
paations followed by those who can be
organized. For instance, there is Mis-
soula county. In the city of Missoula
there is Federal Labor Union No. 43;
clerks Protective Union No. S5; Musi-
clans Union No. SO.
"At Bonner there is lumberman's $
union: at st. Regis another lumberman s
union; at Plains and Thompson Falls
other unions have been organized. Taken
altogether. there are Is unions in Mis-
sou.a county, with a membership of near

per cent of the laborng men of that
county have been organized into unions

union.
