INDUSTRIAL JOTTINGS.
Coal Our Leading Mineral.

According to the annual report of the
United States geological survey there
are fifty-six minerals, metallic and nom
metallic, whose existence forms the
bases of regular industries in this co,,n-
try. AS to the value Of these various
products in 1901 coal Is an easy leader
with $34S, 100000 to its credit: pig iron
follows with value of $243,17400O; cop
per comes next with an output last
year worth $S6,61S, 900; and gold and sill
yer occupy fourth and fifth place. re-
spectively, the formers value being
$50, 900, the latters commercial
value) s77,126,000.
In the next group as to value of the
1901 output are lead, stone, natural gas
and petroleum-the latter leading at
$66, 100000 Mineral waters were valued
at nearly $S,OOO,OO0. And near the bot
tom Of the long list are asbestos, valued
at $13,50O, and rutile at $5,719.
The total value of the whole mineral
output was s1,O92, ,224 $3.50.
1t will be noted that the coal values
are more than double those of gold and
silver combined, and of them the an
thracite product is set down as worth
112,5O4,0O0 in 1901. That is about one
ninth of the value of the entire min
eral production of the United States,
and the industry is confined within one
state-Pennsylvania. These last two
facts give emphasis to the real signifl-
canoe of the anthracite strike-an effort
by unionism to control in it's own way
a business involving one-ninth of the
value Of the mineral production of the
country.
Is it any wonder that the mine own
ers want the full control Of their prop
erty?

Thousands and thousands Of wage
earners appeared in the city streets
early yesterday morning to participate
in the Labor Day celebration which
they made the greatest, largest and
most imposing spectacle of organized
labor ever seen in Scranton.
The United Mine Workers necessar-
lily had the greatest number Of men in
line, but every other conceivable
branch of labor was also we'll repre-
sented.
1t is estimated that at least fifteen
thousand men remained in line
throughout the entire line of march.
Grand Marshal Hugh Frayne and staff
and the committees in charge of the
day met early in the morning at the
Central Labor union headquarters, and
reports then made to them vindicated
that there would be over twenty thous-
and marchers in line. Many of those
who started dropped out, however, and
when the parade arrived at the Erie
station the number of men was ap-
prOximately as given above.

COLES FOR SEPTEMBER.
From Storms and Signs.

How swiftly the seasons come and go.
Again the wheel of Time has brought to
us the month of September. There is
glory resting upon the golden fields Of
falling grain. All animated creation is
full of praise and joy, and the song of the
reaper falls on the air. while the brave
sons of toll take up the grateful refrain,
and the husbandman no longer turns his
face to the clouds or the sunshine in hope
or expectancy, for the reaper has over
taken him that soweth. On the 23d the
sun enters sign Libra and Autumn then
begins and 1t finds us at out Autumnal
equinox.
The planets Venus. Neptune and Old
Red Warrior Mars. will be on the Low
Ebb side Of the world, while the great
planets Uranus, Saturn. Jupiter and the
meddlesome Mercury, whose influence is
to cause melancholy, trickery, etc, will
be on the High Flood side.
Old Mother Earth is passing through
the "House of Kindred" opposed by the
''House of Religion; although there will
be some very exciting scenes and expert
ences this month, there are bright pros
poets ahead which may cause more
congenial feeling between capital and la
Dor.
Disease epidemics will become very pre-
valent and all those troubled with heart
disease should guard themselves we'll dur
ing the Low Ebb days, as many sudden
deaths will occur this month.
AS general rule, September weather
Is very unsettled. The most destructive
storms will occur at or near the Moons
passage over the Equator on the I'd and
nth. (See Storms and Signs Calendar).
The Middle and Eastern states will be
visited by high gales, cloudbursts and
hail The Western and Southern states
will come in for their share of destructive
storms, while in the northwest frost and
snow will play havoc.
Earthquake shocks will be felt in Amer
lea as we'll as the Old Country. Watch
out for tidal waves and equitorial cy-
clones that will extend along the sea
coasts.
There will be many beautiful sunset
scenes this month well worth our time
and attention.
To make camphorated oil, take as much
sweet oil as you require and heat It suf-
fciently to melt camphor, then add cam
phor In the proportion of an ounce to ey-
cry half pint of oil
For burn by vitriol or anything else,
apply the white of an egg, mixed with
powdered chalk, to the parts burned with
feather. 1t will afford instant relief.
Insomnia may be relieved by laying on
the back of the neck a towel wrung out
of ice water-this will also often relieve
headache.
The best days to sow wheat for grain
will be Tuesday, the 10th, and Thursday,
the 25th; the ground should be we'll pre-
pared few days previous. and the grain
should be sown on the above days, rain
or shine. The next best days will be the
9Th and the morning of the 24th. See the
October number of Storms and Signs for
when to SOW FAN wheat.
When transplanting, take up plenty of

fully two thousand Louis Mann cigars
were distributed among the marching
workers by Garfield and Otto Rice, one
Of the distributing agents for the cigar
company.
The last of the three return trains
from Lake Ariel arrived about 1915
o'clock last night. Organizer Hugh
Frayne was among those who stayed
at the lake until the last man had
boarded the train, and was seen shortly
after his return by a Tribune man.

not been single accident to mar the
general enjoyment at the lake.

NOTES OF The DAY.

Grand Marshal Frayne was consid-
erably chagrined by the fact that a
good deal of confusion was caused and
the formation of the parade temporarily
broken by coal car filled with an
thracite gems, which had been brought
along by one of the Mine Workers
locals. 1t proved too heavy to be prop
erly managed, and as all efforts to
move 1t We're unavailing, it would have
delayed the parade indefinitely had not
Marshal Frayne ordered that the con-
centrated energies of n large number
of men be expended in side tracking
it and leaving it out of the formation
entirely.
An interesting float showed the way
that the Rockmen attend to their du-
ties in the mines. A number of rock
men, wearing yellow rubber coats and
trousers, We're seen on wagon, two of
the men swinging sledges, and another
holding drill. Another wagon con-
lained a number of miners, illustrating
the work of drilling hole through a
big lump of coal.
The OXfoHd local attracted much at
tention during the parade by the BAN
ners carried by its members. "Craw-
ford cannot bluff u.s." stated one, and
"Be merry while the strike prolongs
and we will win," was inscribed upon
another.
One of the most noticeable floats in
the parade was that on which was rep
resented n man pinned against the
stump of tree by big, vicious-look-
ing bear. Behind the animal was a
man with a pick, who threatened the
animals life, while in the rear of the
group sat man representing j. Pier
pont Morgan, drinking from bottle of
Hunters best. The bear was labelled
by divine right" another direct slap
at President Baer.
A rather unique feature of the par
ade was supplied by Local 1918, which
was headed by John Myers, of Bellevue
street, who carried two infants, labelled
Mother Jones' union lunch"
A parody on the coal and iron police
was supplied by the Taylor local. A
line of young boys wore big tin stars
and carried hoberts and air-guns. A
boy was carried on stretcher behind
them, in representation of a mine acci-
dent.
The Gold Medal brand of overalls
was represented In the parade by a
float containing a number of Whites
employees, and literally covered with
ornately draped shirts and overalls.

The Big PARADE.

The procession was started promptly
Mt 9 o'clock, as had been arranged.
There was not particle Of unnecessary
delay to the credit of Marshal Frayne
and the members Of his staff be 1t said.
The city streets We're crowded, as the
parade proceeded along the main
thoroughfares, and the marchers were
universally greeted with applause for

and the martial. sprightly bearing they
maintained, in spite of the torrid blaze
of the sun.
Superintendent of Police Day had
we'll attended to the policing of the
city, and the great crowds were ham
died easily and unostentatiously by a
large force of patrolmen, with the re-
suit that there was absence of the
least signs of disorder or excitement.
The parade was headed by Mounted
Officers Burke and Perry. Behind them
rode Grand Marshal Hugh Frayne, re-
splendent in a Rough Rider hat, with
the gold cord emblematic of his leader

members of his staff, all mounted
Conspicuous among the latter We're
Chief of Staff George H. Gothier and
Secretary e. c. Patterson, of the Cen
trail Labor union. The members of the
committee and subcommittee in
charge followed on foot, and next came
the delegates to the Central Labor
union.
Close behind them was driven a car
riage in which We're seated District
President Thomas D. Nichols, Secre-
tary-Treasurer John T.. Dempsey and
Board Member Healey, of the United
Mine Workers of America, and John
H. Devine, of the Clerks union, presi-
dent Of the Central Labor union.
FIRST DIVISION.
The first division of the parade con-
sisted entirely of mine workers, and
was led by Commander Thomas Tier
ney and Lawrences band. The North
Scranton locals led the van. An ex-
ceptionally large number of men had
been sent down, and to the watching
crowds it seemed as though the long
line of earnest, determined looking men
was almost unending. They We're fol-
lowed by the West Scranton, Pine
Brook, Dunmore, Mnooka and Taylor
locals. Numerous printed signs, and

ing how little sympathy women have
for women. In the home the mistress
sees the maid with the signs of suffering
she recognizes so we'll, but she does not
tighten the sick girls load by touch of
her finger. In the store the forewoman
sees the pallor and exhaustion which

nothing for them. 1t is work or quit.

At LAKE ARIEL.

The excursion to Lake Ariel, under
the auspices of the Central Labor
union, was one of the largest gather
ings of people that has visited this
popular resort during the season.
Owing to the morning parade, not
very many people went out on the early
morning trains, but the afternoon
crowd filled every available seat in the
train leaving at 1.35 o'clock. A large
number were compelled to stand dur
ing the journey
No fixed programme was entered into
on the grounds, the crowd giving way
to recreation, boating, dancing. etc.
The singing contests, which were adj
vertsed, had to be abandoned, owing
to the illness of Prof. Hemberger, who
was to have been adjudicator and who
intended securing the German societies
to compete.
LEADERS PRESENT.
Delegations from every union repre-
sented in the parade were on the
grounds, some of them wearing their
parade suits. All of the prominent
local labor headers We're also there,
among whom were noticed: District

siOnal men were also there, interming-
ling with the crowd During the after
noon the Lawrence band gave a con-
cert in the grove, and the Star orchestra
furnished music for dancing. The Paint

TWO HANGED FOR MURDER.
Ellis Washington and Phil Wallace
 Drop to Death.

Donadsvilc La. April 1s.-Ellis Wash ington and Phil Wallace were hanged here today for the murder of Lee Geis- mar.
 Washington was cheerful to tho last, but Wallace was on the verge of col lapse when he ascended the scaffold.
 The crime for which Phil Wallace and Ellis Washington, negroes. were hanged today was the murder of Lee Geismar. a wealthy storekecper at Geismar. January 12th 1t was little less than an assassina- tion On the night of the murder Wal lace. Washington and Tom Powell were in q saloon adjoining the Geismar store. drinking. They were heavily armed and rIotous. A disturbance followed. and the negroes moved outside Powell shooting his pistol. Geismar sent out word to the negroes to cease their noise.
 Tell Geismar to come out himself" :" they shouted in reply.
 When Geismar appeared he was met with a fusilade and instantly killed 1n- tense excitement was aroused. A number of negroes were captured. and wholesale lynchings were prevented with difficulty. Wallace. Washington and Powell were tried for the murder. The jury could not agree as to Powell. and he was dis charged. Washington and Wallace were convicted
