Time for Gonnrnl ObnorTimcn. '
"Washington, Oct. 20. Tho president
yestcrdny Issued tho following Thank v
(jiving procltunntfon:
A national custom, dear to tho hearts of tho
people, calls for the settlni npslrt of ouo day In
each year us a occasion of special thanlti;lvlng
to AlmlpUty dod for tho hlcssltiKS of tho pre
ceding year. This honored obwrvnnco no
(julrcswlth time a tender ttlRnlllcance. It en
riches domestic life. It summons under the
family roof tho absent children to glad reunion
with thoso they love.
Seldom has this nation had greater cnuso for
profound thatiUsKlvInf?. No great pestilence
lias Invaded our shores. Liberal employment
waits upon labor,- Abundant crops havo re
warded the husbandman. Increased coMferts
have como to tho home. Tho national Um.nccs
novo been strengthened, and publlo efjd't has
been nustalncd and mado Urmcr. u nll'itritichca
of Industry nnd trade; there hns been an nn
equaled deirco of prosperity, while there ha
been a steady grtln In tho moral and cduca
catlbnal Ktowth of our national elm dieter.
Churches. and schools havo (lourJdird. Amer
ican patriotism has been cxalud. Thovo cn
caRcd In maintaining tho honor jf tho Hair with
such signal success have been m n largo degree
spared from disaster and dlfeaso. An honor
nble peaco has been ratllled. with n foreign na
tion with which wo were at war and wo aro now
on friendly relations with every power on earth.
Tho trust which wo have assumed for tho
benefit of tho people of Cuba has been faithfully
advanced. There Is marked progress toward
the restoration of healthy Industrial conditions,
and under wise sanitary regulations tho Island
has enjoyed unusual exception from thofcourgo
of fever." Tho hurricane which swept over our
new possessions of l'ortq Hlco, destroying the
homes nnd property of tho Inhabitants, called
forth tho instant sympathy of tho people of tho
United States, who wcro swift to respond with
generous aid to tho sufferers. Whllo tho insur
rection still continues in tho Island of Luzon,
business Is resuming Its activity, and confi
dence In the good purposes of the United States
Is being rapidly established throughout the
archipelago.
I'or these reasons nnd countless others, I,
"William Mclvlnley, president of the United
States, do hereby namo Thursday, tho 30th day
of November next, ps day of general thanks
giving and prayer, to lo observed. a$ such by all
our people on ttijs continent ami in OUT r.jwly

tures of tho day and Its real slgnlllcanco may
not bo lost si lit of, but fervent prayers may bo
offered to tho Most High for a continuance of the
dlvlno guidance, without which man's efforts
nro vain, and for dlvlno consolation to those
whoso kindred and friends havo sacrlllccd thcli
lives for our country.
I recommend also that on this day. so far as
may bo found practicable, labor shall icaso.
from Its accustomed toll und charity abound
toward the sick, tho needy and tho poor.
In witness whereof I havo set my hand and
caused tho seal of the United States to bo af
fixed. WlI.MAM MCIClNLKY.

weeks and as a fully accredited repre
sentative of Atruinaldo will present to
President McKlnley now terms for end
ing hostilities and reconstructing tho
governmentof tho islands. SenorUcgi
dor will havo plenipotentiary powers to

ment upon all points in order to roach
an agreement by which hostilities may
cease.
Tho KuIhot Not n Tarty to It.
Berlin, Oct. 20. Usually well-informed
politicians know nothing about
the proposed continental alliance
ngainst England, and the Paris Eolair'a
statement that Germany promised to
enter into tho plan attributed to
Franco and Russia, but later withdrew
from tho combination, is evidently un
true. Von lluelow, upon entering the
ministry, established the guiding prin
ciple that the proximity of German and
English colonies and England's naval
supremacy rendered a good under
standing imperative.
Admiral Di-wi.y !tM Ills llnnir,
Washington, Oct. 20. Tho houbo on

chased for Admiral Dewoy by popular
subscription was formally turned over
to him yesterday by Assistant Secre
tary Vandcrlip and United States
Treasurer Roberts, of tho Dewey homo

went to tho treasury department yes
terday afternoon and presented tho
deed, which was immediately filed for
record. The purchase price was about
850,000.
Siberian Cold Lund to Ho Sold.
Washington, Oct. 20. Tho fact that
Russia has opened to foreign exploita
tion the gold lands of Siberia is an
nounced in a report to tho state depart

the sale of gold lands to take place be
tween tho 15th and the 27th of Febru
ary next, and it is noticed that the salo
is open to any persons, whether Rus
sians or foreigners.

Ardmore, I. T., Oct. 20. -United
States Judge Townsond, of tho South
ern district, said that congress would
never consent to .making two states
put- of the- territories. -There is .not

Dear Mrs. Pinkiiam I
state that I used your Vegetable Com
pound with the greatest success. I
was very sick for nearly a year with
hysteria, was down-hearted nnd
nervous; also suffered with painful
menstruation nnd pain in back and
limbs. I often wished for death,
thinking nothing would cure me. I
had doctors, but their medicines did
me no good. "At last, by the advice
o a friend, I began to take Lydia 15.
Piukhnmrs Vegetable Compound,
nnd I am happy to say it has entire
ly cured me.
Jennie Sherman, of Frcniont,
lieh., Box 748, writes:
"Dear Mrs. Pinkiiam: I
that I must write you and
3'ou what your medicine
done for me. I had neuralgia
of the stomach for two ypars,
so bad that I. could not do any
work. 1 had two or three doc-
tors, but did not seem to get any bet
ter. I began taking Lydia E. Pink
ham's Vegetable Compound and Liver
Pills and improved from the first, had
better nppCtito, and after taking three bottles of Compound
and one box of Liver Pills, can say that I am cured. Your
Vegetable Compound is a wonderful medicine,"
