LABOR A NJ

OF late years Labor Day is consid-
cred more or less a Scotch holiday by
our fellow citizens of the land o.
cakes" and their descendants, for
the reason that the New York Gale
DOMAIN Club hold their games on that
day.
The Scottish folk of New York and
adjacent states take advantage of the
games to have an annual reunion of
the clans; no less than forty thou
sand people having attended on one
occasion in old Jones Wood. Every
state in the east and the Provinces of
Canada are represented at these gath
erings.
AS most of those who attend wear
the picturesque tartans of their re-
spective clans, it is a pretty and in
spirating sight for the onlooker.
Many a "1assie' meets her fate in one
of the 'braw ladies" at these meets.
1t is expected that the flftieth an
nual (jubilee) games, which will be
held on Monday, September 3, at
Washington Park and Casino, Grand
street, between Maspeth and New
town, l.. l., will excel all former eff
forts.
AS there are eighty-one prizes
(~firsts, seconds and thirds), open to
competition, aggregating $3.50, and
entries are received up to the start
ing of each event, a large entry list
is the result, especially as 1t is
a rule of the club to pay all prizes in
cash Immediately after each event.

KoIb, Dill and Dillon are almost the

ing at the Central Theater. When the
trio were out of evidence the perform
ance was dull, because neither the rest

ANGRY WITH BRYAN.
Nebraskan's Inactivity Arouses Ire OF
Democratic Campaign Committee.

WASHINGTON, Sept. s.-The Demo-
cratic campaign management is thor
oughly chagrined at the way it is being
treated by William Jennings Bryan.
Bryan, before his return, was expected
to hurry into the Congressional cam
paign and help carry the House.
Secretary Edwards sent the Nebras-
kan letter to New York in charge of
Cotter T. Bride OF Washington, one of
Bryan's warm friends. Bryan has never
answered the letter and shows no dis
position to work under the Congress
sional committee. Instead he will go
South to talk Government ownership,
just what the committee doesn't want
There is no doubt the Democratic
campaign management has lost all hope
of carrying the House and they blame
Bryan's Government ownership address
for the situation. Democratic disor-
ganization is emphasized by the closing
of the Democratic national committees

ernment ownership are blamed also for
this.

Harry RObb Stays Deer, Evidently

MILLBRAE, Sept. s.-Harry Robb, son
Of a prominent merchant of this city
killed a large three-point buck deer
within less than a half-mile of the car
station here and almost in the center
of the colony yesterday evening The
deer was feeding peaceably upon the
marsh, unmindful of the trains and
electric cars passing every few min
utes. when young Robb first noticed the
animal from the veranda of his home
Securing his rife he slipped along the
fence until within a few hundred feet
OF his game. when he fired the shot that
brought the animal to the ground
Many suggestions are offered as TO
how the animal reached the marsh, but
the one most accepted is that a dog
must have driven II from the noun
tains, and once away from it's beaten
trail II was lost and wandered toward
the bay.
Many of the old-timers say that deer
are more plentiful this year than ever
known before and can be found all
along the foothills. When they are
plentiful. the hunters assert, they often
become less timid.
