Yesterday.
Yesterday was propitious for an observ
ance ot a good old American Thanksgiving , ! ) !
Iho good old style of our forefathers. All the
attraction lay in the glow of the homo flro
nnd the odor of the smolttnir. Thanksgiving
turkey. Whllo they who nro rich in Oinnhn
nnd not the least of our grounds for thanks
Is the fact that they are many-render thanks
for thrlr riches , for the plcnlcousnoss of the
garnered harvest nnd for the fate which cast
tholr lines In a land of freedom and plenty ,
they have boon reminded by the lowering ,
leaden sky nnd the llttlo swirls of snow that
there are some In this fair city to whom the
year has boon ono of bitter struggle with an
unkind fato. Not the least of the ofllccs of
our national Thanksgiving Is that of opening
the o.vcs , hearts and hands of those who have
greatest cause for thanks to the wants of
tlioso who have least. To this end the
weather was propitious.
Whntnday it was 1 What tables gronncd
with the weight of Thanksgiving dinners !
Nobody wants a smoking hot dinner on'n Ano
warm day. What savory odors steal through
the cracks and crannies of doors and win-
Cows 1 What music of voice und instru
ment , and rhildrons' laughter fills the alrl
What quiet streets there nro I Uverv oao is
homo with his wife , or his sister , or his
cousin , or his sweetheart I What a grand
olJ-tlmo New England Thanksgiving was it ,
the 20th day of November , 183S.
Lot us be thankful , above all , to the grim
old pilgrim fathers , who , away back in IC'il ,
established our glorious American Thanks
giving Day.

AMj ABOUT TOWN.
How the Day ol' Tlianks Was Spent
anil Knjoycd.
The atmosphere was raw , and the light
snow which fell almost imperceptibly Had a
suggestion of rain. The sun remained ob
scured. The streets were given up to males ,
nnd lost tlifl brilliancy of lady costumes11
which a cloudless day would have drawn
forth.
Business In the thoroughfares was sus
pended , though many merchants kept their
fctorcs open until noon. There were few
purchasers , and It was with a sigh of relief
that the noon was reached both by the em
ployers and employes.
In the hotels the corridors were thronged ,
while the registers contained the names of
many unwonted guests. Of the latter , many
wore business men , from all parts of the
country , " who wore sadly prevented from
reaching homo before the holiday. Others
were their traveling brothers in the vicinity
who , 'caught out" in their territory , had
rushed into town to holiday hero. For their
delight , the various hostelries left
nothing undone in the way of cheer
und hospitality. All of them
put forth special efforts in the way of cards
nnd menus , Homo of the former being ex
tremely rich and beautiful , while others of
them wore of the moro modest and subdued
Btyle. The Millaru , Paxton , Murray , Bar
ker , Merchants , Arcade , Gees , Windsor ,
Cozzensnnd Canlirld vied in this respect ns
tlmy never did before , giving evidence of the
belief that to them the year has been ono of
prosperity.
Only the most necessary work was done
in tlio railway headquarters , wlulo a grate
ful quiet seemed to have extended to the
rioisy switch yards , the busy shops and the
smoky smelting works.
I The letter-carriers made ono delivery in
the morning , and a' , noon the postofllco vesti
bule was thronged as it is on Sundays at
noon. In fact , the throng was even more intense -
tense nnd earnest , because to most people a
Thanksgiving letter transcends in interest
nnd import a letter on any other day in the
year.
In the Old Ladles' Home , on Burt street ,
kindly hands und generous hearts provided
cheer nnd comfort for the occupants , which
will not soon bo forgotten in their declining
years.
In St. Joseph's hospital the sisters had a
npeeial spread for the convalescent patients ,
with unusual dainties for those whoso ail
ments rendcr.thcm beyond the reach of sub-
stantmls nf life. Both of these classes com
prised ninety men and women , whom a gen
erous public had not forgotten in their con
tributions to the deserving ones on this day
of thanks.
At tno Bishop Clarkson's Memorial hos
pital the day was commemorated by a boun
tiful dinner served up to the young people
who are residents of that institution for the
time being. Everything within the walls of
the hospital looked bright and cheerful , and
though no attempt at decoration had been
made , yet everything appeared to have a
holiday garb , The little ones were all sitting
lip in bed when visited , and by their cheery
n looks nnd scrupulously clean appearance
were well looked ufter. They wore all intent
upon the treat In store for them. At 10
o'clock n special religious service was hold In
the children's ' ward conducted by iho Hcv.
U. Withorspoon. There was a special dinner
Hurved at 1 o'clock which was apportioned
among the liftlo ones according ut they wore
well able to appreciate it.
In the poor house , special efforts were
made to entertain the forlorn inmates , n
sumptuous dinner , thu principal feature of
Which was duck , having been provided for
the poor old people.
The now dining hall of the Deaf and
Dumb Institute was formally occupied to.
day. Prof. Gillospio and his little charges ,
xvitli grateful thanks taking possession of it. .
There was au excellent dinner suread and
the members of thu institute did ample jus
tice to it.
The city jail contained fewer occupants
than usual , und tlio police judge kindly held
u brief session so as to allow as many as pos
sible to enjoy their Thanksgiving where they
pleased. Five wore sentenced each to a Uuy'K '
labor In the Jail for drunkenness or vag-
ranoy. Their work , however , lasted for only
two hours , und the remainder of the day was
Hpent by them In the corridor smoking and
comparing experiences. Only four prison
ers were behind the bars , one of them
lieing n pickpocket. Ordinarily but two
inoals are served ually at the city Jail , butte
to day an extra meal was ordered ut noon ,
consisting of incut , turkey.brcad and coffea
n rare meal for the miserable habitues of the
police station cells. The viands were served
without much regard to formality or st.ylo ,
hut were nevertheless relished by those who
rarely taste anything bettor than the un
palatable frco lunches served In the grog
uhops.
As usual the turkey was sacrificed to the
inmates of the county Jail. Jailer Miller
denlt out the extra dishes with a liberal
heart , nud the inmates were not slow la
dispatching tholr respective allotment. Mru ,
King , neo Mrs. Beochler , was among those
who partook heartily of the meal. She was
somewhat restless In her cell during the forenoon -
noon , and about 10 o'clock she would walk to
the window over-looking the court IIOUIM and
gnzo out upon the cheerless surroundings ,
About ono hour afterward a rap on the door
was responded to by ono of tlio at
taches of the bas'.llc , and n youth who
has barely reached his majority uiUercd ,
Ho. was William Heochlcr , brother of
the murdoress. Hn stated to the jailor his
tinmo , nnd requested permission to see his
sister. On account of other matters to bo
performed ho was coinnotlcd to wait in the
corridor of the jail. In the meantime casting
his eyes about the iron ramparts , In hopes of
catching sight of his sister , Ho was llnally
escorted to her cell on the upper floor , and
the scene of the meeting was very pathetic ,
Uoth embraced , and wept bitter tears. After
n few moments had elapsed they talked over
tlin situation. The prl&onor questioned him
concerning the family nt home , nnd the
llttlo brother uud sister In Chicago.
The conversation was conducted in u
low tone , not oven being audible to the occu.
puitta of the adjoining colls. They remained
together about half nn hour when the
hrother retired from the building , stating
that ho would call on hs [ sister again In an
hour. The priscmor waj vury uiush affected
ly tier brother's visit.

The First church , ns also that of Walnut
Hill , met In the former , Hov. .1. B , Johnson ,
pastor of the latter , occupied the pulpit of
Hov. A. Martin , the pastor , nnd delivered
the Thanksgiving address , He , Johnson ,
said : Ono minister may tell the people this
day "How the Illy grows , " and that the
bright nnd beautiful flowers are the radiant
children of the sun , Another may toll how
the northern nurora shoots , up its glittering
flame nnd how It t.hen vanishes Into thin air ,
or that the bow painted on the stormcloud is
dependent for all its glory on the dark back
ground of mists nnd tears. Another may
reason concerning science and philosophy and
furnish solutions of the problems that have
puzzled all the ages. I cheese to tell you the
story of the goodness und love of God und of
the debt of gratitude wo owe to the bountiful
giver of all good.
The parent Is not pleased with the child
that is never satisfied with anything , but is
always whining for something else , and It is
easy to suppose the great Father of us all is
not pleased with us if wo are ungrateful for
what wo have and are forever whining for
more.
" 1 think wo do as children do ,
Who lean tholr faces 'gainst the window
pane
And sigh the glass dim with tliclr own
breath's stain ,
And shut thu sky and landscape from the
view. "
First of allGod gave us life. Wo wwronot
consulted ns to whether wo would bo born I
Wo did not decide as to whether we would
bo red , or yellow , or black or whito. Wo
bad nothing to do in settling the question
whether wo would make our nppoaranco In
China or Japan , in Congo or glorious , free
America. Clod gave us our oxistanco in this
favored land n land dotted with churches
and school houses as the heavens are with
stars.
God gave us vision. Those eyes that look
on the faces of loved ones , that behold daily
the grandeurs and splendors of nature. What
would you take for tnom and turn the uni
verse into eternal night ! Priceless ! God
shnnly gave them to you.
And your hearing 1 What would you take
for it and have this forever to you a silent
universe ) "Nothing ! No , money could not
buy it but God just gave you your hearing.
And your mind. What is the difference
between you and tlio raving maniac ? Be
tween you and the staring , brainless idiot !
Mind makes the difference. And God just
gave to you such a mind as ton thousand
worlds cannot buy.
Are you a married man I You know that
marriage is the chief source and
center of man's ' highest earthly joy
the fountain whence ho sips the
sweetest bliss known to this earthly
life. On this day set apart for gratitude do
not forget that oven "a good wife is from the
Lord. "
But you say your joys have not boon un
mixed with sorrows. I do not doubt that.
Those of you who are familiar with Wagner's '
music know that it abounds in discord. Did
ho not know enough to leave them out ? Ho
know enough to put them in. After a mo
mentary discord , far sweeter by contrast are
the glorious harmonies into which the music
floats. Far moro appreciated here are God's '
mercies , nnd fur moro glorious will heaven's
splendors bo by contrast with the momentary
discords of earth.
The speaker thea closed with an eloquent
peroration.

The services r held in the Kountzo Place
Congregational church were largely at
tended. All of the nine additional parishes
and three missions of that denomination
were represented. The pulpit was filled by
Hov. Willnrd Scott , who was assisted in con
ducting the ceremony by IJov. Holt , of the
Park Place Congregational church ; J. L.
Mailc , superintendent of the state missions ;
Hov. II. C. Crane , of the Hillside Congrega
tional church ; Rev. J. S. Milligan , of the
Cherry Hill Congregational church , ; Hov.
Forbes , of the Saratoga Congregational
church ; Uov. Brochert , of the German Con
gregational church ; Hov. M. J. P. Thing , of
the Bohemian mission.
Hov.Scott preached his sermon on the "Old
Law and the Now , " taking his text from
Matthew v , 21-22 verses : "Ye have heard
that it was said But I say. " In reviewing
the text , the preacher considered the attitude
of the people of to-day with reference to the
old Christian works. In answering
the relations ho stated that it is now as it
was when Christ used the old testament. Ho
interpreted the latter and the results was
not a violation of Its precepts. Ho stated
that the Christian heritage should not bo
regarded as n dogma , but should be studied
anew and interpreted , and should any differ
ent aspect arise from its study , it should bo
regarded us an enlargement of the contents
and not a violation.

Thanksgiving services at the Kountzo
Memorial church were of a very impressive
nature. The pastors of tlio other English-
speaking Lutheran places of worship were
present and hud n following of their congre
gations , which * filled the beautiful edifice.
The services were conducted by Hov. J. S.
Detweilcr , assisted by Hov. Luther ICuhus ,
G. II. Schnur nnd Hov. 13. A. Foglestrom.
The choir was strengthened by additions
from abroad and rendered some very beauti
ful anthems under the direction of the organ
ist , Mr. J. Alberj , Davis.
The sermon was preached by Hov. George
II. Sclniur , whoso text was taken from the
I0i : psalm , "O give thanks unto the Lord ,
call upon His name and make it known unto
the world. " The reverend gentleman spoke
of Thanksgiving day us the greatest of the
year in America. It was a great homo day.
u day on which persons assembled rfround
the hearth where mother lived. Thousands
from all over this great and glorious land
leave to-day for homo to celebrate and to
raise tholr voices in pralso and song to Him
the giver of lifo ; to thank Him for His good
ness and morey nnd to glorify Him in all His
majesty. The truest reason for thanksgiv
ing is the goodncsi and greatness and merci
ful benevolence of God not alone to our
selves personally but to our homo
and our nation , the greatest , grandest , find
most noble nation of the earth. A nation of
peace , prosperity , joy and self-government ,
n people endowed with the faculty of govern
ing themselves. The year has been prolific
of many things , showing the benevolence of
Our Maker. The harvests have been abund
ant , trade prosperous und peace uud good
will reign among men. Not alone have wo
by the goodness of God boon given enough
for ourselves , but help has gone forth to suf
fering brothers In foreign lands , Sweden , to
help the sufferers there , and nearer
homo , to Florida , to rolluvo the wants of
our people stricken with u dire
calamity. Wo should bo thankful for the
prosperity of our state , and residents should
nlBoho grateful for the state of prosperity ,
Improvement and general good feeling pre
vailing in all elements. Many of our homos
have during the year boon gluddcnod by ad
ditions und others saddened by loss. Mis
fortunes should bring us nearer to our.
master , for ho Is good nnd his goodness aur-
pas8fth nil understanding. As n church , wo
should bo thankful. Churchns nro springing
up ull ever the land , HO fust that it la fre
quently impossible to find pastors
to fulfill the duties. Wo nro in-
dobtcd to ether nations for this.
The old country sunds us grand Christians
who help by tholr steadfast faith and
staunch Christianity to buildup religion In
our midst. The bouo and sinew and blood of
tho-cndsof tboonrth find n resting place In
our great country. Here they find chris-
ianlty taught as preached by Christ nnd lend
strength to our church by their adherence
and strength. The eyes of the world are
upon us for "to whom much is civcn of him
much must bo required. " The problem
of religious civilization must be
solved by the religious bodies of
America. Wo have work to do , nnd must
set about it willingly and earnestly. The
dangers threatening religion are rumUoman-
Ism and desire for amusements. Homes have
been destroyed , and oven the church has
been Impregnated with the evil effects of
drunkenness. Homnnism.by its Interference
In our politics nud in the teachings carried
on In our schools. Is endangering the Chris
tianity of our country. Every American and
Lutheran should boil with religious indigna
tion at such Interference. The theory
of Homanlsm is that the state should always
subserve to the desire of the church and
this theory is bciug promulgated in our
midst.
The reverend speaker next spoke of the
worldllness of people nnd Its desire for
amusement , the craze to bo amused , and
tbo amount spout In useless ontcrtainmont.
Past history has shown us that nations
giving thomsclvas np to pleasure have soon
come to ruin.
Hov. Wlllard Scott'H Discourse.
The Hov. Wlllard Scott gave n Thanksgiv
ing lecture last night In the school room of
his new church ou St. Mary's avenue. The
edifice was crowded with the elite of that
portion of the city , who frequently showed
their appreciation and interest in the subject
matter of the discourse by hearty applause.
The reverend lecturer has lately returned
from an extended tour througli Europe , and
has previously given lectures on his experi
ences with descriptions of the places visited.
Last night ho ehoso for his ttiomo "Paris the
Beautiful. " The reverend gentlemen de
scribed minutely his voyage across
the Kuglish channel from New
Haven to Dieppe with all the
nausea and evil consequences appertaining
to such a voyage. Ho then spoke of his
arrival in Paris and described his five days'
residence there. Ho arrived in Paris at
night.
His first day In Paris was Sunday. In
stead of finding everything calm nnd quiet
on the Sabbath , all was noise and bustle.
Shops and stores wore open nnd everything
was as one * might expect on tin ordinary
working day. lie first visited the Made-
laino , a grand nnd beautiful structure
architecturally. Service was going on
therein , but ho found no comfort , nnd
started for the beautiful church of St. Hochc.
Here ho found the music , which was
extremely devotional , the only attraction
nnd ho soon wended his way to the Ameri
can church , which ho found soothing-to-his
soul. The customary service , the same pul
pit , the same hymns , the same devotional
utmosphcro made him think and long.-for his
dear homo in Nebraska. There ; were about
three hundred worshippers present , mostly
Americans. He next visited the' mission
house of Ucv. McCaull , in the ] poorest nnd
most disreputable portion of Paris. There
his experience was not altogether of n very
pleasant nature , and ho whs glad when ho
found himself again nthis hotel.
Ho next described his guide
nn old French soldier , cool as a dragoon ,
careful , never in a hurry ; his hair dyed ,
teeth false , and with seventeen wounds got
on the battle Holds fighting for his country.
The lecturer tipxt described the Place do
la Concorde , in the center of Paris , arid that
grand bouloPnrd , the Champs Elyseo. The
Madclaiuo was pictured in all its grandeur
and glory , standing out ns ono of the most
beautiful structures in the world. The
president's house was noticed , and the
Parisian residence of tiio Hothschilds was
also noticed. The Arc do Triomplio was next
graphically described ; an enormous marble
arch 100 feet high and HO foot broad , the
great monument of Franco and the Napole
ons. The Hotel des Invalides with the tomb
of Napoleon , its golden door and general im-
pressivencss , were also mentioned.
Ho next visited Pore la Chaise , the great
cemetery of Paris , and described tlio
crowded situation of the burying place.
The tomb of Thiers , the savior of Franco ,
the man who met the Prussians in 1871 with
cash , was also mentioned.
Honest described the people of Paris ; a
people of enjoyment , a people of the cafe
and restaurant , n people devoted to pleasure
and frivolity. Their political stamina was
of the oamo order. A Frenchman remarked
to him : "Carnot is president to-day , to
morrow who he may be wo know not. " Ver
sailles and the beautiful gardens and foun
tains were also commented upon and
the paintings wore never to bo for
gotten. The pictures at the Louvre -
vro and the Luxenbourp were
spoken of , the reverend gentleman remark
ing that from the number of Heubens ho saw
the artist must have painted with a brush a
foot wide and worked day and night.
Judging the morals of Paris by the art dis
played in its principal g'allerics , it must bo of
a questionable nature. The lecturer , in con
clusion , spoke of the advantages of travel ,
and never regretted hearingof some friend
of his starting on n tour similar to the ono
from which ho has lately returned.
Union Episcopal Services-
Trinity Episcopal cathedral was crowded
rromchancol stops to entrance yesterday.
The congregation was recruited from the
various Episcopal churches hi Omaha , There
was a largely augmented choir , and the sing-
ng was excellent. The Hov.
Louis Zahncr , rector of All
Saints , " preached the sermon , 'which had
special reference to the occasion of Thanks
giving. The offertory was in aid of the
Mission Church of the Good Shepherd ,
North Omaha. The Hov. Father Williams
of St. Barnabas , and the Rov. William
Allen , of Lincoln , reaa tiio prayers , and the
[ Jov. Osgood Pearson , rector of St. .John's ,
Ornaha , the lessens for the day. The ser
vice used was that appointed by the church
for Thanksgiving. In addition to tlio clergy
mentioned who took part in the service , were
Uevs. Withorspoon and Gamble.
Catholic Services.
In all the churches of this denomination
ilgh masses were celebrated by the respec
tive pastors , the musio in each instance being
made n special feature of the occasion. The
soruions were upon the general subject of
thanks to God , an act in which the
church encourages and practices at all
periods of the year as well as on the special
occasion set aside for the publicgiving of the
same in this country. There wore no union
services among the pastors uud people of this
denomination , but the attendance in all
churches was largo and fervent in their uo-
votion and thanks.
AMUSKMJ5NTS.
What a treat is the free and genuine farce ,
or in polite phrase , the comedietta , with Its
'un-provoking situations , its sprightly Inci
dents , its natural humor and Its unstrained
wit. There was a time when no theatrical
entertainment was complete without it , but
n these later days it is almost a stranger to
.ho average play-goer , and wo have instead
the enlarged farce called farce-torn ody , with
an abundance of trash mixed with
very llttlo that is true or genuine.
Of the latter , however , there
was nn excellent quality produced
at Boyd's opera house last evening by Miss
Itoslna Voices nnd company , and the largo
audience gave every indication of hearty en-
oyinont. Three pieces wore presented , nnd
each was In Its way of the most pleasing
character , Miss Yokes having the loading
iiirt in two. This lady Is the embodiment of
; isht comedy , nnd the most hypercritical
must accord her praise , Every movement ,
'osturo and expiosslon amuses , and the
jroadcr effects of her comedy are irresisti
ble. In the mere "business" of
lor art Miss Yokes is almost peer
less , while she has a method peculiar
: o herself that Is inimitable. In her line
.hero is no one of to-day more artistic or
more delightfully entertaining. Her support
is In the main good. Mr. Courtonay Thorpe
is nn exceedingly clover actor , nnd the other
members of the company merit commenda
tion. The brief engagement of Miss Yokes
nt the opera house offers nn opportunity for
really enjoyable entertainment which thosn
who 11 nd pleasure in the light , genial und
unexceptionable productions of tlio stage
should not fall to avail thcmsulvos of ,

While Mr. Tliorno was receiving it , his

for almost eight yours preceding
HS2 , had boon the trusted and val
ued county treasurer of Adams. His
homo was across the line from Adams in
Webster county , where had resided since
1S7U. In the year 18S3 It was discovered that
his accounts as treasurer xve.ro short. The
countv commissioners spent four months in
examining into them. This examination re
sulted in a charge of embezzlement , the
amount charged being between ? 00X)0 ( ) and
f W.OOO. Tliorno , though an old man , was
tried upon the charge. The trial lasted for
several weeks. The accused was defended
by one of the present congressmen from this
state. Ho was found guilty and sentenced -
tenced to one year in the penitentiary.
An appeal was taken to the supreme court ,
and the verdict was sot aside. Thome's bond
was for $23,000. To satisfy the claims upon
him ho had turned over all his propertywith
the exception of his homestead. After the
Intervention of the supreme court , Tliorno
brought suit against Adams county for
500,000. The case had not reached trial , and
now , by his death , has probably boon re
moved to a higher court. Tliorno was about
seventy-live , years of age. Ills friends deplore -
ploro his death , as they do also his official
troubles , claiming that it was deputies of his
who had brought tlioso upon him.

men in town who have not pot a black eye or
are nursing a sere face. The fight started
over a keg of beer being stolen from one of
the saloonkeeuers. Ono man accused
another of being the thief , and live jumped
on to him. Bystanders interfering , n gen
eral riot was the issue of the day. It ended
with about twenty-live on one. Black eyes
and sere mugs were very numerous. It
seems as though that was just a starter. The
fights are still kept up. Bennington wit

body scorns to bo on the warpath and makes

TH13 STIUKING SWITCHMKN.
No linnicdlnto Prospect of n Settle
ment of thf Troubles.
INDIAN vi'ou , Nov. 20. The switchmen's
strike shows no Immediate prospect of set
tlement. It the engineers and llremcn pro
pose to strike with a view of forcing a settle
ment of the switchmen's grievance * , they
seem to have concluded to at least wait until
after Thanksgiving day , for they were nil nt
their posts to-day. The superintendents ol
several roads held niiother meeting to-dav ,
and concluded to stand by their action of
yesterday , when they replied to the Joint
committee of engineers , llropion and brakemen -
men , stating that If they had any complaints
of their own to arbitrate or adjust , the super
intendents would gladly meet them to talk
over any grievances , but they dcc'lned to
meet the committee in regard to the switch
men's grievances. The officials are firm In
declaring that they cannot discharge their
now switchmen under any circumstances In
order to take back ( ho old ; that such aeourso
would br > wholly dishonorable , and that they
will submit to n disastrous strike rather than
weaken in this particular.
While this is the outward aspect of affairs ,
there is n report current that the superinten
dents will to-morrow formally meet some
members of the joint committee acting for
the strikers , mid talk the mnttnrs over , The
striklngswltchlnghavo repeatedly announced
that they would retrain from all sorts
of violence or interference , yet
they nro charged with repeatedly
drawing pins from moving freight trains ,
and , in at least one instance , compelled the
abandonment of a train by pulling the pins
out and throwing them in tno ditch. Last
night , while a train was running through
the yard of the Ohio , Indiana & Western
road , ono of the strikers throw the switch
right under it , ditcl.ing olglit cars , breaking
them moro or loss , and tearing up the track.
At n meeting to-day the superintendents
concluded to offer n reward of $1.000 for the
apprehension and conviction of the parties
who caused this wreck. On several occa
sions the strikers have stoned men who have
taken their places. It is thought that to
morrow will witness some decided change
for the better or worse in the strike situa
tion. Some of the superintendents believe
that the engineers nnd tlremon will not
strike , nnd anticipate no further trouble ,
while otners again are exceedingly npprohon-
sivo that they are on the cdgo of the biggest
kind of n strike , and an ugly o'ne. The
strikers were in close conference this after
noon , but will divulge nothing nf their meet
ing. They assume to bo confident of carry
ing their point.

superintendent of the National Yellowstone
park , headed a delegation that passed through
St. Paul to-day on route to Chicago to meet
u number of canitnltsts who are Interested in
n project to build a ruilroiul to the park.
With reference to affairs at the park Colonel
Waters said : "One of tlio dllUcultlos which
wo have to contend with Is the largo number
of florco animals mountain lions and Dears
whlch.are ( locking Into iho park. No ono
is allowed to discharge n gun within the
limits of the park , which is sixty-live miles
square. When llro-arms are brought into
the park they are sealed up , and if the seal
Is found broken the owner of the weapon is
punished. This makes the animals very
secure , and something must bo done to thin
them out or prevent their increase. The
recent earthquake which disturbed the coast
was very distinctly felt in the park. "

it is delivered at the homo. To-day the entire -
tire institution was turned into ono vast
larder , the contributions being greater than
ever before. Children who could afford to
bring nothing more onmo with an apple , and

"Well , what about the cabinet ! "

country may bo sure that they will stand for
the best sentiment nnd highest nlmt of the

risen has been too much occupied witli ether

"What will bo the complexion of the next

"Republican , beyond question. The ma

mit to any reversal of their will as expressed
nt the polls. They will seenro what they

Virginia or no Vhvlnla , the republican party
will have a.majority in the next house of nt
least live. "
"What will be done with the tariff this
winter ! "
"That is diftlcult , at present , to answer.
The senate will certainly proceed with the
consideration of Its bill , which was reported
from the finance committee nt the last ses

That bill ought to bo passed , and passed with
