 From 10 o'clock yesterday morning until well after midnight the laDorinS men of the city held full sway. A pa. rade impressive and brilliant, brought hundreds of Montgomerians to the down town district during the morning. barbecue dinner, sports and dancing Brought hundreds to Electric Park dn3 known Montgomerfans, fireworks and dancing held the crowd duning the evening and throughout the day every thing passed off pleasantly.
 The observance of Labor Day was for the first time general. Many of the retail stores were closed throughout railroads were closed down. Many es- tablishments that employ union men did not open, and during the hours of the parade. few retail stores did busi-
 Many Go to Park
 At Electric Park the 1aboring men thoroughly enjoyed themselves. The enjoyment however, was not confined to the labor element. Scores and scores of their friends participated in the ob- servance of Labor Day at Electric Park. The observance at the park was quiet and orderly. Most of the union men brought their families to the pie mic grounds with them, They enjoyed the fresh air, satishedH their appetite with an elegant barbecue dinner, pat ronized the various amusement devices of the park and listened to the speeches Of the orators of the occasion, while the younger ones contested in the athletic contests or tripped the light fantastic to the strains of the music of the EIec- kric Park orchestra.
 The unions of negro men also had a fine day at Washington Park. They had a basket dinner, music, dancing and games until a late hour last night.
 The feature of the day, however. was the parade at II o'clock yesterday morning For weeks the Montgomery Trades Council. of which w. R. Fisher is President, had been making elabo- rate preparations for the day. It was known generally that the parade in size and in quality would be better than anything of the kind hitherto seen in Montgomery. but the parade of yesterday morning was a revelation to every resident of the city.

 A luncheon was given Commissioner Neill at nocn today at the New Flor ence Hotel. Plates were set for twen- ty. The affair, though rather infor- nal, was most pleasant.
 The parade of the labor unions while not as extensive as it has been In the past, was a decidedly better parade than seen heretofore. There were a number of floats and the unions used carriages instead of walking as be- fore. The railroads offered cheap rates to the city for a distance Of 100 miles of Birmingham and as a consequence many strangers were in the city. There was no shut down a. any of the iron and steel plants In the district. though all institutions were short handed to- day.

 Every man has the right to express his choice in this country. The vote of the poorest man is equal in power to the vote of the millionaire
 He made a stronp appeal to the men of his audience to stand together for the enactment of laws that give equal justice to all, favors to none. It was their right, he said, to band themselves together for the protection of their wages and to prepare for the day when work would not be for them, when age and decrepitude would put an end to their labors.

A Cause of Poor Separation

From experiments in Sweden to deter
mine the cause of the unsatisfactory results
occasionally noted in the separation Of milk,
it has been shown that when the milk has
been strongly agitated las in certain meth
DDS of pasteurization) before separation,
lower percentage of cream is obtained.
In the skim milk, when separated under
good conditions, the percentage of fat
should not exceed OIL per cent. if the
milk has been previously agitated, this
amount may run up to O.. per cent. The
explanation is that during the agitation
some of the large fat globules are broken
up into smaller sizes, although some may
increase their volume. Very minute glob-
ules are separated with difficulty; the
smaller they are the more effect has the
sickness of the milk upon them. The
same difficulty is also noticed when dealing
with the milk of COWS that have been long
in milk, the fat globules of their milk being
much smaller than when newly ealved.
The conclusion, drawn from the expert
1pents, is that milk intended for butter
making should not be subjected to any
violent agitation previous to passing it
through the separator.

What She Said,

Jim Button is frequent visitor at the
palatial mansion of Judge Peterby, Dut-
ton is special pet of Mrs. Peterby, and
is supposed to have designs on the affec-
lions of Miss Mollie Peterby, the belle of
Austin, who is also wealthy,
A few days ago Jim was invited to dine
at three O clock at the Peterby mansion,
but heard during the morning that prom
inent sheepman would be at his store about
that time to purchase big bill of goods,
so Jim had to forego the pleasure Of dining
with the Peterbys.
A little after that, Jim said to the col
ored porter, Sam Johnsing:
Sam, 1 want you to go to Mrs. Judge
Peterby, give her my compliments, and
tell her 1 regret my inability to be present
at dinner. -"

"And, Sam, take my dinner bucket with

and be quick about it.
In due time Sam returned with the din

''What did she say?'
''She jess LATED.
Sam opened the dinner bucket, and
spread the contents on the table in the
office, when this conversation occurred
