Only in Arizona, Mississippi, Nevada and North Dakota fs it not distinguished from the other days of the cal- endar. In effect, this is labor's parade day, when the armies, of industry march in review down the nation's many Pennsylvania avenues, as Grant's war host after Appo- mattox. They are wonderful processions, indicative of triumphant progress from a lowly estate into industrial and social supremacy. Do you recall the workingman | of Elizabethan times as pictured in Shakespeare's plays $n shabby homespun with leathern apron, uncouth of| manner and somewhat thick of speech? The dignity of labor to-day, its Intelligence, its self-respect and its mental capacity shows a change from old conditions as_ ‘wonderful as it is admirable. The knowledge that en- ables a man to build a locomotive or run a Hoe press or| construct a dynamo carries with it a power that in this! genoration and in this country for the first time has won from society its adequate reward. Some idea of the development of organization among Jabor may be gained by considering the American Fed-| eration of Labor alone has an aggregate memberchip of 2,000,000. It comprises 96 national unions, 406 city cen- tral unions and 1,878 local unions. It publishes 236 weekly or monthly papers. Thirty States and Terri- tories have bureaus of labor and there is a National De- partment of Labor that has been in existence since 1855. Twenty-five States have cight-hour laws, and a law of this purport governs all laborers, workmen and mechan- fes in the employ of the United States. The extent to which the strike figures In the existing | relations of capital and labor is shown by the fact that | in the twenty years from 1881 to 1900 there were 22,798 | strikes by which 6,105,694 employees were thrown out of work. The average duration of these periods of \dleness ‘was twenty-four days, and the loss in wages to the! strikers reached the enormous amount of $267,803.478. | Just one-helf of these strikes were successful and about | One-eighth (exactly 13 per cent.) were successful in part. It is a record ote extreme interest. FAST AUTOMOBILING,. It appears that the automobile destroyed by fire on a Failrcad float in the East River was built to go eighty miles an hour and had been imported to enter In con- tests against Mr. W. KX. Vanderbilt's and Mr. Foxhall Keene's fast racing machines. Its untimely fate will be! regretted. | ‘What triumphs its owner must forego because of this) Untoward act of fate in consigning it to the flames before | ft had achieved a record or killed a pedestrian! Ag It Is, | ‘we can only speculate on what Berkshire road might} have achieved international fame from its performances. Perhaps there is a Stockbridge elm now inglorious which might have gained on wide renown as has the tree In the| Pacy-sur-Eure road in France against which the Fair ma-| @hine was wrecked and from which motor drivers now | ship pieces of bark for souvenirs to set in gold mountings, | New Jersey, however, during the past week has con- in two records of fast automobiling that may ‘assuage our grief. On Monday Mr. Morton Jones's forty- | horse power car carried Mr. J. J. Astor into Morristown over the Chatham turnpike, “beating the ‘Brokers’ Ex- ‘press’"’ on the Lackawanna. Later in the week Thomas ‘A, Edison rode from Orange to Phillipsburg, Pa,, in a) thirty-five horse power machine. He, too, “beat a Lack- ‘@wanna passenger train,” and for a part of the way made the run at the rate of a mile a minute. From which it is evident that the speed madness of the amateur chauffeur shows no abatement. Mr. . Schwab's cross-Jersey runs, once deemed fast, have be- come but way-train records in the fast express service of millionaire automobiling. A TRIUMPH OF DIPLOMACY. Palmerston and Talleyrand had their diplomatic tri- wmphs; Mr. Hay has had hie. But in securing peace with ‘honor for the participants in the Newport dinner im- broglio Mr. Harry Lehr has won a victory no less re- Nowned in its way than many recorded in the pages of Aistory. The status quo at Newport when Mr. Lehr appeared 6 arbitrator was this: Mrs. Oelrichs and the Baroness de Seilliere had selected the same date for a dinner and dance, and their invitations had been issued simultane- ously, There was consternation among the invited guests. To accept ihe hospitality of one meant offense to the other great social force. To decline involved loss of prestige. There was no middle course, and the pros- pect waa good for a disturbance of the concert of New- port. Those bidden held back their responses until the Jast moment in vain hope of a way out of the dilemma. Meantime the situation with the hostesses grew por- ‘tentons In its gravity. To make overtures or ask for a pourparier was to admit social Inferlority. To advise a change of date was to assume a superiority of position Menncing to the peace of society and threatening a war of retaliation out of which feuds might grow in the first faniilies. Appeared then Mr. Lehr with the happy suggestion that tho Baroness should abandon ber dance while re- ing her dinner, while the other ho: should retain r dance while omitting the dinner. Thus those invited | _enuld avall themselves of each invitation without doing | ee Hiolence to the amity xnd comity of the powers con- We. cannot exactly sey of Mr. Lehr that this was irt-sleeves” diplomacy of the best sort, but that it & victory’ of common sense in diploma y Is obvious. WALTZ OR TWOQ.-STEP ? © The dancing masters say that grace has gone with the ty and that the two-step is too strenuous. They ad- @ the restoration both of tho three-step waltz and ottinche, It is to be feared that they ere seeking old goods in a market demanding novelties, etimes reverts to the style of antiquity; Em- game back in tho days of a republic, But in opposite hoids good, s uere agreeable dance to the eye because “Yn general observance thronghout the nation Labor) Day ranks with our two characteristic and time-honored | | fesaions.

While ’ | knowing that Phever boasted he never missed the train, the MR. J. DUNNE. BROWNE, The Gay Suburbanite, By IRWIN THOMAS, | HERE ts a coolness in New Veniceville between Chilson iT Phever, the oldest commuter, and Mr. J. Dunne Browne, the man who has purchased the dwelling on the same street two blocks further from the station than Mr. Chilson Phover-s villa plot. Between their homes there are no houses, The land company is reserving the plot and next spring it Js to Le a tennis court to boom the new section that is to go up beyond Mr. J. Dunne Browne's home. At present, however, there is an uninterrupted view, and | Mrs. Browne, by standing at the dining-room bow window, can ste Mr. Phever when he goes for the 8.00 train which he .akes each morning. Twice J, Dunne Browne missed {It the frst week and lost caste with the whist players in the set he had Joined. Then, dining-room clock was no longer deperded upon; but when Mr. Phever put up the lawn mower or’the garden rake and kissed Mrs. Phever good-by and started for the train Mrs. Browno told J. Dunne and he gathered himself together end hurrled for the train. On Wednesday last the dining-room clock was at one hour, the watch of Mr. Browne had stopped and the bedroom clock was twelve minutes off color according to the eating-room timepiece. “Phever gone yet?’ inquired J. Dunne, as he lingered over the breakfast food and heard the story of the catel on the cellar.door being broken. “No, he {s still there," said Mrs, Dunne, and he lingered on. After ten minutes he hustled out just in time to see Phever put away tho garden rake. Phever came out and continued on toward the village. Browne was back of him within easy sprinting distanos, He stopped at the drug store and bought a cigar and bad Phever in sight when he turned toward the station. He caught up while Phever delivered the morning ogier to the butcher an& met Tilm as he came out. Together they walked to tho station. “We must be early?” sald Browne, cultivating the oldest commuter, “Wor the 8.037" asked Phever. ‘Certainly,” seid Browne. “You never miss {t."* “No, not when I am going to take !t. But this morning my wife's mother ts coming to visit us, She {s to arrive on the 9.28 train, and Iam gong to meet her,” sald Chilson Phes xe and he smiled broadly, adding: ‘My wife thought you be his morning when she saw you in the Vaal vert with the chickens.” WHEN FAMOUS MEN LAY DYING One of the most beautiful epltaphs tn the language ie that written by the man who now Iles beneath {t, Stevensom had composed his tmmortal Ines before his death, but he was careful to direct that they ahould be Inscribed upon his tombstone: “Under the wide and starry sky Dig the grave and let me lle. Giad did I live, and gladly ate, And I laid me down with a will, This be the verse you grave for Here he lies where he longed to b Home Is the sailor, home from the sea, And the hunter home from the hill.” ‘There was Infinite pathos in the exclamation of Oharked Il: “Don't let poor Nellie starve.” The falr, trail beauty: of the gutter and the stage in whose society he had delighted was his last thought on earth so far as we have any indi- cation trom his sayings. But nobler, ff less merry, men than he have left behind them words which are not fore gotten. The Prince Consort, we are told, gave expression to @ beautiful sentiment; “I have had wealth and rank and power," he said, “but {f these were all I had had tow wretched I should bel” Garibaldi saw in two emall birds that alighted on the window-sill of the room in which he lay dying the ree embodied spirits pf his two dead children, “come to see theip father die," as he sald. ‘Re kind to them and feed them when I am dead,” he implored those around. In these im stances the thought was all of he others, not @ word of ree pining as to self. President Carnot, when at his last gasp, with blood streaming from the wound which the assassin’s knife had caused, had only words of gracious thantrs upon his lips te those who clustered about him. Very beautiful, too, was the last scene tn the life of Tennyson, which the son of the poet laureate has so tenderly described, He exclaimed, ‘‘I have opened it!" Whether this referred to one of his last poems, in which he speaks of the gate of heaven, we do not know. He breathed a blessing, upon those around him. "He was quite restful, holding hiv‘ wife's hand," Lord Tennyson has written, ‘and, as he wag passing away, I spoke over him his own prayer, ‘God ao- 4 cept him! Christ receive him!' because I knew that he f would haye wished it." THE DUKE AND THE BARBER. } In olden days an English noble entered a barber shop, and upon inquiring for the master was anawered by an ap-! i prentice of fourteen that he was not at home, “Do you! shave, then?’ asked the Duke, “Yes, sir, I always do,” as tho reply. “But can you shave without cutting?® “Yes, wir; i'll try,” answered the youth. ‘Very well,” aald the Duke, while soating himsolf and loading his pistol Jook here, if you let any blood, as true as I sit here I'l biow your brains out! Now, consider well before you begin.” After a moment’r reflection the boy began to make ready and sand, “I'm not afraid of cutting you, sir,” and in @ short time had completed the feat without a scratch, to the complete satisfaction of the Duke. In gentle tones his grace asked: "Were you not afraid of having your brains blown out when you might haye cut mo so easily?" “No, sir; not at all; because I thought that as scones 2, should happen to let any blood I would cut your throat be fore you could haye time to fire.’’ F The reply won from the Duke a handsome reward, It need scarcely be added he never resumed his threats ina berber shop. A lesson was taught him for life, MAGIC IN OLDEN TIMES. In the records of ancient Jewish maglo Sglomon played ame role as Faust did in the Christian.? By magic he pposed to he able to satisfy all his desires, says Les- Ue's Weekly, The work known as the “Key of Solomon,” which formed the basis of magic years ago, was written by. some unknown Hebrew magician, and of it Latin, French and Ttallan versions exist in the British Museum. In searching among tho books of his father, the Rey. §, M, Gollancz, Prof Hermann Gollancs found a Hebrew copy made in Amsterdam In 170, and on this manuscript he lectured at University College recently. If the mastet of maglo who practises the art as lad down tn the volume ts pure in Mody and soul it 4 {s Interesting to learn that he will be ablo to unbar bolts, get out of prison, harm his enemies and call up spirits from the deep. THE WORLD’S DEEPEST HOLE. Tho deepest hole in the world is in Germany, near Lelpe aig. While boring for coal Capt, Huyssen made some very valuable observations. He got down to a depth of 5,700 feet, and to do so cost him $0,00—a record sum for a single experiment of which the main purpose was to add to aclene Uflc knowledge. ‘The hole was less than half a foot In diameter at the surface and tapered off to the thickness of a man's finger.
