Veterans Will Begin Trooping To Toledo in About One Week. MANY SPECIAL EVENTS.
'HE OLD SOLDIERS PROMISED GREAT ENTERTAINMENT DURING VISIT TO OHIO CITY ON LAKE SHORE. Less than one week hence the veterans of the Grand Army of the Republic will be trooping into Toledo for their annual national encampment. The opinion ia expressed that the encampment this year will be the most significant, the most Interesting and one of the best attended reunions ever held by the veterans of the Civil War. And so indeed it will be if the present plans now nearing completion are carried out in detail. The whole city will be handsomely dressed for the occasion. Flags and bunting will cover the buildings along Summit, Huron, Erie and other leading Btreets. The many handsome public buildings for which Toledo is noted will be artistically decorated and at night they will be ablaze with hundreds of electric lights. At prominent street Intersections several handsome arches are being erected. One of the notable events In connection 'with the encampment will be the dedication of the monument on the site of Fort Meigs, a few miles from the city. The Ohio'National Guard will join with, the veterans in the ceremonies incident to the dedication Governor Swanson of Virginia, Hanly of Indiana, Warner of Michigan, WI11Bon of Kentucky and Harris of Ohio, have accepted invitations to attend the event. The parade which is the big spectacular event of the annual encamp- - ments will take place Wednesday, September 2. The executive committee has received returns indicatlngHhat 35,000 veterans will take part. The department of Illinois will lead the march and the department of Ohio the entertaining hosts will bring up the rear. Out of regard to the age of the veterans the route of the procession will be short. A dozen or more places where refreshments will be served free to the marchers will be stationed along the route and will be looked after by an army of competent volunteers. A floral shower and a "living flag" by 3,500 school children will be features of the pageant. The floral committee has adopted the rose as the official, flower of the encampment! and a color scheme of red and yellow, the colors of the Grand Army of the Republic, will be carried out. Every building, large or small, over the entire route of the parade will be decorated, some with great elaboration. The county courthouse, an Imposing structure will be magnificently trimmed from base to dome. The trolley pole of every car In the city will have a flag floating thereon, and all motor cars will be handsomely trimmed with silken banners with the official yellow of the G. A. R.

Matches to Take Place at Sea Girt, Are Of Importance. TROPHIES ARE OFFERED.
RANGE HAS BEEN EXTENDED AND EQUIPMENT IMPROVED SO MATCHES WILL HAVE MOST FAVORABLE CONDITIONS. Sea Girt Range, New Jersey, Aug. 22. Of scarcely less importance to the military world than the great national matches now in progress at Camp Perry, Ohio, are those which will take place at Sea Girt, N. J., from September 4 to 12. inclusive. The beautiful Sea Girt range has always been a Mecca for amoiuous marksmen and this year a program has been arranged which for richness and attractiveness compares very favorably with any ever shot. During the eighteen years of its existence the New Jersey State Rifle Association has accumulated a number of cups and trophies and its strong financial backing enables it to give the largest number of cash prizes offered by any State association. Its tournament will be this year, as for many years past, under the personal supervision of General Bird W. Spencer, so long president of the National Rifle Association, who will be executive officer of the meeting. In addition to the New Jersey matches, those of the New York State Rifle Association and the United States Revolver Association will be held at the same time. The range at Sea Girt, always the most commodious and best equipped, has been extended and Improved, reduced railroad rates have been secured, and a large attendance is guaranteed. The most important match will be for the Dryden trophy, a magnificent piece of bronze, presented by ex-Senator Dryden, to be competed for by teams of eight from the same branches of the military service eligible to the national trophy match. It is shot at 20O, 600 and 1,K0 yards. The trophy carries with it cash prizes of from $50 to $150. The Interstate regimental match for the Briggs trophy, presented by Senator Briggs of New Jersey, will be shot at the same distance by teams of six. With this trophy goes a modal to each man on the winning team with cash prizes to the second, third and fourth teams. The company team match for teams of five at 200 and 500 yards carries cash prizes with medals for the first three teams. For the non-winners there will be a company team match (tyro) for teams of three, the prize being the Peters trophy, which goes to the winning team with gold medals to the members of the second and third teams. 5n the Columbia trophy match teams of six will compete at 200, T.OO, 000 and SO0 yards for medals and cash prizes in addition to the trophy. Teams of five will compete in the cavalry match which is restricted to the cavalry, signal corns and engineer corps of the army and national guard. Here again the prizes are gold, silver and bronze medals, accompanied by cash. An interesting event established last year, Is the Gould rapid fire team match for which the trophy was presented in memory of Arthur C. Gould, "a" friend of rifle practice." This is for teams of six and the conditions are unique in that they provide for a skirmish run and ten shots rapid fire at 200 yards. GRASSHOPPERS ON RAILS. Eaton, O., August 22.

"THE MAN IN THE OVERALLS" and "ENGAGED AGAINST HIS WILL"
American Laborer Is Not Living Too High, According to Labor Bureau Report.
COMPARE HIS STANDARD. HE IS FAR AHEAD OF FOREIGNERS WHO ARE REQUIRED TO DO THE SAME KIND OF WORK FOR LIVING. Washington, Aug. 22. Is the high standard of living adopted by the American workman a mistake? Would he be happier with the conditions that surround the English or the German laborer? The bureau of labor answers these questions in the negative, its reply being based on reports of Investigations into the cost of living in the United States, Germany and England, just made by the representative gov ernments. The bureau lays emphasis upon the food that the American eats. The table of the American workman is more abundantly supplied and with a far greater variety, it is declared, than either the German or the English The food of the American workman costs more, but his table does not require nearly so large a wage percentage as that of the Englishman or the German. Another joy that the American laborer is able to experience by bjs standard of living is that of keeping his family together. Statistics show that the family of the American living at home is larger than that of the German or the Englishman. The American industrial family averages slightly more than five persons, with three children to a family living at home. A comparison of the cost of living shows that the credit the English have been given for generations, of being the greatest beef-eaters on the globe, is unwarranted. The American workingman and his family eat much more than the English. The reports indicate that the position of the English workingman Is more fortunate. In regard to wages, rental and food, than the German, but that in all these particulars the honors go to the American. SPIRITUALISTS TO HOLD SEANCES First Annual Meeting at Jackson Park. The first annual meeting of the Eastern Indiana Spiritualist Association will be held September 4, 5 and 6 at Jackson Park.
