LABOR DAY AT BANGOR.
Probable That Great Crowd Will Go
to That City.

Although no definite figures can be
given rs to just how many members of
the different labor unions in the city
will take in the celebration at Bangor
September > it is safe to say that there
will be a general exodus of Augusta
union members to the Lumber City on
that date.
Several Of the unions about the city
have taken definite steps in regard to
attending the festivities and have
voted as body to accept the>invita-
tons extended and to participate in
the parade. while others will doubtless
go as individual members.
The Typographical Union will go in
\ body and hope to have about 80 men
in line. and will be uniformed. as al
ready announced in the Journal. The
BARRIERS Union will also attend i'm a
body, and it is expected that there VIII
be at least 10 of the II union wOrkm"n
in the line. They will wear white
coats, black trousers and black Derby
hats. They will carry their banner.
The Carpenters Union voted to ac-
capt the Bangor invitation at their
special meeting. Monday night, and it
local carpenters will be in attendance.
Other unions will also attend in large
numbers. and it is likely that there will
be a large number Of the weavers and
other employees of the Edwards Mills in
the Augusta delegation. Hallowell
| union men will probably turn out in
large numbers. at least one union in
that city appearing in uniform in the
| parade.
There is no doubt that the occasion
will be one of the greatest of the kind
| ever held in Maine and it is said that
Bangor will do itself proud in it's en-
| deavOr to entertain it's guests. Au-
| gusta union men believe that the cele-
| bration should come to Augusta. next
year. and it is probable that steps will
| be taken in that direction.
The fare to Bangor for Monday has
| been placed 50 low that expense will be
no excuse for staying at home and
| there will he a big crowd of Augusta
people in Bangor, a week from next
Monday.

"A Man Without a Country"

A large-siZed audience gathered at
the Opera house, last evening, to wit
ness the second performance of the
Harcourt Comedy Co., and had the
pleasure of seeing a strong piece well
presented.
The play was "A Man Without a
Country" and dealt with frontier life
between the Indians and the whites
during the early days of the white set
Element in the West. The piece was All
exceptionally powerful drama and the
parts were handled in most creditable
manner by the members of the Har-
court Company, Charles K. Harris ex-
ecuting two difficult parts during the
entire playa piece of work that de-
manded a good deal of Mr.. Harris abil-
ity and which he carried out with
marked success. May Melvin in the
role of Gladys Sterling. the generals
daughter. showed herself capable of
first-class work in her part and was
one Of the strong things Of the evening.
All members of the company deserve
mention for their creditable work, Fred
G. Green as Gen. Sterling, and John
Riggles in the comedian part being ex-
ceptionaliy good. The specialties were
first-claSs, the moving pictures and il
Illustrated songs being OF a high order.
The company will present "In the
Heart of the Storm" this evening. 1t
is safe to predict that a gOOd-sized au-
dience will greed the production. A
matinee will also be given, this after
noon. the bill being From Sire to Son.
