LONDON , Nov. 25. Over 300 American
men and women and a few English persons
celebrated Thanksgiving day by a dinner at
the Hotel Cecil tonight. The party In
cluded John Hay , the United States ambas
sador , and his wUc and daughter ; Henry
White , secretary of the United States cm-
hassy ; J. It. Carter , second secretary of the
embassy ; Lord Strathconc and Mount Royal
of Canada ; Archdeacon Sinclair , Louis Astor
Chanler end William Fulch , United States
minister to Uruguay.
The menu , which was especially designed
for the occasion , was ornamented with
American and British flags , and over the
seat of the chairman was an enormous
eagle. The list of toasts was long. The
health of Qeen Victoria -was proposed by the
chairman , who read a letter , dated Windsor
Castle , from Sir Arthur John Ulggs , private
secretary to her majesty , saying :
QUEEN EXPRESSES THANKS.
"The queen desires mo to beg that the
American ambassador will be so good as to
convey to the members of the American
society In London the expression of her maj.
esty'e eincere thanks for the beautifully
Illuminated address of congratulations she
received from that body. I have further to
assure your excellency how deeply the
queen was touched by the sentiments of
sympathy with the enthusiasm of her own
subjects on the sixtieth anniversary of her
accession to the throne which was contained
In this address from citizens of the United
States. "
Hen. Sir John Garell Barnes of the high
court of justice proposed the health of Am
bassador Hay , dwelling upon the great
frlendllnew that ho believed Dxlsts between
EngUnd and the United States , and saying :
"If the two countries will only put their
backs together they can rule the destines of
the world. "
Ambassador Hny responded with a bright
speech. Ho sketched the origin of the day ,
which begau , ho said , "In that pathetic thank
offering of our forefathers when they wore
keeping alight the spark of freedom which
was destined to kindle Into such a beacon
blaze , enlightening and administering to the
world. Some of our peculiar Institutions , "
continued Mr. Hay. "thank heaven wo have
lost. The worst paesed away In the tempest
of the war It caused , but this , the most
unquestionable peculiarity of all , we can
trust to abide with us forever. This Is one
of the few things wo can do that offends no
body , threatens no one , and competes with
no one. There can never bo too much grati
tude In the world. Seventy millions of voices
praising God together would not justify the
addition of one Ironclad to any navy on earth.
TALK OF LITTLE THINGS.
"Tonight we can hardly bo said to be In
n foreign land. A French statesman said
the other day : 'Whore there Is one French
man there Is France. ' We have 300 good
American citizens hero tonight who believe
wo are In America and may be pardoned for
speaking of some little things that wo care
about. "
Mr. Hay then paid a tribute to the un
known nameless artist , who In the days of
early New England first brought to sight
the "pumpkin pie. " IHo added the suggestion
that the turkey should be the national em
blem Instead of the'e'-gle , "who with aris
tocratic profile , loud voice and predatory
disposition , hardly commends himself as the
emblem ot modest , ladustrous and consci
entious democracy : -while the turkey , like
a true altruist , exists only for the good of
others and perishes by thousands yearly for
the public welfare. "
Continuing his speech , Air. Hay enumer
ated the causes for thankfulness , and said :
"We are thankful that we rpeak English ,
or , If our friends on this side of the ocean
think that Is boasting , that we talk United
States , which answers equally as well for
telling the truth. "
Mr. Hay , closing his reply , said : "The
great body of the people of the two countries
are friends. We are the fortunate heirs
to English law and liberty , which both
nations rerpect. " i
Lord Strathcone and iMount Royal , responding
spending to "Our Next Door Neighbors , "
said that Canada , while loyal to the queen
and to Great Britain , had the fullest feeling
of friendship for the United States , and he
was satisfied that If either country would
get Into difficulties , the other would help
Its neighbor.
Archdeacon Sinclair proposed the toast.
"The Ladled" whch > was responded to by
Miss Genevleve Ward , the actress.

Mr. Jacob A. UIU Wltcs an article for
the December CenturriFn "Merry Christmas
In the Tenements. " Mr.aMIs says :
Within hall of the' Stfolvon street school
cnnips a scattered Wttt l > : nd , the Christmas
cusioms of which Itiharl been trying for
ywrs to surprlfo. Thoy.aro Indians , a hand-
tul of Mohawks aml.troquois. whom some
111 wind has blown ilown from their Canadian
reservation and loft In ) these West Side
tenements , to pko out. such a living as they
can , weaving mats and baskets , and thread
ing glass pearls on slippers and pin cu h.
Ions , until , one after nether , they have
died off and gone to happier hunting grounds
than Thompson street. .There were us many
families as one could count on the fingers
ot both hands when I first came upon them at
the death of old Tamcnund , the basketmakcr.
List Christmas there were seven. I had
about made up my mind that the only real
Amerlwns In Now York did not keep the
holiday at all. .when , one Christmas eve.
they showed me how. Just as dark was
setting In old Sirs. Benott came from her
Hudson street attic where she was known
among the neighbors as old and
poor as Mrs. Bcu Wah and be
lieved to bo the relict of a warrior of
the name of Benjamin Wah to the office
ot the Charity Organlratlon society , with n
bundle for a friend who had helped her over
a rough spot the rent , I suppos ? . The bun
dle was done up elaborately In blue chceso
cloth , and contained a lot ot little garments
which she had made out of the remnants
of blankets and cloth of her own from a
youngep arul better day. "For those , " she
said , In her French patois , "who nro poorer
than myself , " and nobbled away.
I found out , a few days later , when I
took her picture weaving mats In her attic
room , that she bid scarcely food In the
house that Christmas day , and not the carfare
faro to take her to church. Walking was
bad and her old limbs were stiff. She sab
by the window through the winter evening
and watched the sun go down behind the
western hills , comforted by her pipe. Mrs.
Ben Wah , to glvo her local name , Is not
really an Indian , but her husband was one ,
and she lived all her llfo with the tribe
till she came here. She Is a philosopher in
her own quaint way. "It Is no disgrace
to be poor , " said she to me , regarding her
empty tobacco pouch ; "but It Is sometimes
a great Inconvenience. " Not even the recol
lection of the vote of censure that was
passed upon mo once by the ladles ot the
Charitable Ten for surreptitiously supplying
an aged couple , the special object of their
charity , with army plug , could hove deterred
mo from' taking -the hint.
SIXRS' OXI.Y IX I IKKSLEEP. .
After Fifty Yrnrs Slip SliiK.t the Olil
SniiK * . hut linen Not Hear Them.
From away down the coast of Maine , where
the mysterious tide ebbs and flows so h rcely ,
North Castlne. corned a story from a corre
spondent strange and unaccountable. Ho
writes to the Bangor Commercial thut Mrs.
Lucretli M. Judson , the once favorite singer
of Portland , has regained her sweet voice
after neirly fifty years silence. Although
she hears It not herself or knows why or
when It Happens , except when told by others ,
her voice is the same and she sings the same
old songs she used to charm the listeners
with fifty years ago.
In many parts of Maine Mrs. Judson was
recognized In her early- days as possessing a
sweet soprano voice , she was the recognized
leader In that sectldn of the country and
otten received Invltatldns to sing In the
churches at Portland , Lewiston and Bangor.
One day a few years after her marrlago her
voice left her and slio seemed to lose all ear
for music. Since tUat time she has never
been known to sing , Many a time she has
been heard to lament the loss of her voice ,
for aha loved music so well.
A few weeks ago MISJ Judson came to visit
a neighbor whllo a revival was In progress
a few miles from her home. After bedtime
Mrs. Lynch heard the sweetest song she over
listened to. It was one. of the old love songs
of her youth "I've Wandered Today to the
Mill , " etc. She was charmed and surprised.
The sound came fi'dm'Mrs. Judson's room.
Next morning she a'slted : Mrs. Judson to sing
the same song again.- She was astonished to
hear the woman say , that she could not and
had not sung for forty 'years or more.
"Why. I heard you singing last night , said
Mrs. Lynch.
" ' " answered Mrs. Jud
"Oh , no , you didn't ,
son. "If you did I must have been asleep ,
for I don't know a thing about It. "
The next night she sang a verse of another
of her favorite songs. She nsked Mrs. Lynch
to call her If such a thing occurred again , for
she did not believe It could be possible.
While Mrs Judson was filling the night with
'
song. Mrs. Lynch crept stealthily to her
room. The woman was sitting up in bed , her
eyes closed and was singing as If her whole
soul was In her songMrs. . Lynch hadn't the
heart to wake her up , anil listened with de
light until she had finished a soft and beauti
ful cadence.
Next morning the woman went to her home
at Plerce's Pond and her husband Is de
lighted , for he says she sings nearly every
night one of the old-time melodies. When
awake the woman has no ear for music any
more than If she had never been a singer.

Dr. Sabourand has observed that the colony
of microbes Insinuates Itself In a fine stream
Into the minute evening between the hair
and the epidermis of the scalp. It causes
an irritation , which Is shown by the forma
tion of successive horny layers which encyst
the microbe colony. This cyst does not sur
round the hair , but presses against it lit
erally. Then begins the proceas of Infection
of the hair follicle , which Dr , Sabourand di
vides Into four stages and describes minutely
The flrst Is the excessive sebaceous secre
tion. The excessive secretion Is soon fol
lowed by glandular hypertrophy , or exces
sive growth of the gland. In time new
glandular lobulca fcrm and the gland be
comes enormous. The ttlrd stage Is pro
gressive decay of the infected hair follicle.
A derangement of the coloring process of the
hair takes place. Then the so-called medul
lary cells cease to form , and the hair dimin
ishes gradually In size. The fourth and lam
stage of the Infection Is the complete death
of the hair. Its hollow bulb Is filled up. It
dies and Is eliminated , !
A treatment of two weeks will cure an
acute form of seborrhooa , but It Is doubtful
whether a permanent cure Is oosslblo. Dr.
Sabourand recommends applying three times
a week In the evening to the scalp a pomade
containing sulphur , < ell of cade and yellow
bloxldo. The following morning wash the
head well and brusli with alcohol and ether
In equal parts with per cent of resorcln.

Attention.
WASHINGTON , Nov. 25. The president In
his message will , It Is exepected , devote more
attention to Alaska than has been given to
the big , territory before since its purchase.
It Is known that the executive will recom
mend speedy legislation to secure the best
possible government for Alaska and that he
will also take occasion to point out the dif
ficulties which the people are living under
and will urge that something should 'be done
to protect the property of the government.
In this connection he will allude to the fact
that the government Is losing large sums
because there Is no way of protecting the
timber from Indiscriminate use.
Commissioner Hermann of the general
land office has submitted information on
this point to the president and has also
taken occasion to recommend some radical
changes in the laws relating to the permit
system for cutting timber in other sections.
At present largo companies and corpora
tions are cutting timber under the permit
system , supposedly for use in the mines , but
the commissioner has information that trainload -
load after trainload of lumber has been taken
from the government forest , placed in the
lumber yards in various cities and towns
and never used for mining purposes at all.
A better system of permits for cutting and
Inspection of timber , not only for the min
eral states of the west , but also for Alaska ,
has been recommended to the president and
government ofilclals , who will endeavor to
have legislation speedily enacted for the
better protection of the forests.

politan Methodist Episcopal church , where
President McKlnloy attended service today ,
Uev. D. S. Johnston read the Thanksgiving
proclamation of the president and said that
In Issuing It the president showed piety cad
wisdom which augured well for the na
tion.
"Prosperity Is here , " said the minister.
"Tho light ot better days Is shining on u ,
and though It will take time to recover
from four years of distress , we are gaining.
Timed are hard , but not as bard as they
have been and people should themk God It
Is no worse after the experiences of the
past four years. "
Dr. Johnston presented statistics to prove
the assertion that prosperity had returned ,
referring to the large crop of wheat , cot
ton and other products.
"The croited values of this year In the
United States were estimated at $14,000-
000.000 , " he said , and he then dilated on
tbo greatness of this nation and Its mission
on earth.
Speaking of the perils that threaten the
nation , he Bald that chief among them were
rum , socialism and Jesuitism , He spoke at
some length against the danger of a foreign
church obtaining ascendancy In the state
and said that if Jesuitism ever prevails in
this country the United States will become
as Mexico , Italy and Spain , Ho advocated
giving the Catholics the same civil rights
that every man enjoyed , but that this church
bo warned to keep Its hands off the state.
In the course ot his remarks Dr. Johnston
referred to Spain as "a burnt out nation , the
b-isest of kingdoms. " ;
Ho referred to the danger of corrupt par
ties and Instanced the victory of Tammany
In Now York.

WASHINGTON. Nov. 25. "Wo are deter
mined to maintain our majority in the next
house of representatives , " Bald Congressman
Mercer of Omaha , who Is also secretary of
the Republican Congressional committee ,
"and with this end In view wu will keep up
nn aggressive light from the start to the
finish of the ensuing session of congress.
There Is no reason why wo should lose our
hold upon the house , now that prosperity Is
an assured thing. It Is mnlnly duo to the
principles of the republican party that this
condition of affairs exists. There will be no
hesitation on our part about drilling this no
tion Into the minds of the people of the
United States and the results will be shown
next year in a continuance of republicans In
power. "

WASHINGTON , Nov. 25. The killing ot a

preme court In the case ot the Indian boy.

for the Tongue river agency , believes the evi
dence on which the boy was convicted to be
false and that an Innocent person has been
condemned. The association asks for some
action to stay proceedings and secure the ap
peal. Secretary Bliss , however , had already
taken the necessary steps for securing the
boy's rights on information previously re
ceived. An Indian boy named Stanley hss
confessed to the murder and Implicated Spot
ted Hawk , but It Is alleged that thcro was
only ono Individual connected with the crime.

Ho added : "It Is entirely satisfactory to
Hawaii. I should judge , to have the mat

definitely. It fixes the limit of the claim , 1C
any damages are to be allowed. Before tbo
claim might have been $2 or $2,000,000. This

An observing person wisely observes that
American girls are fortunate In possessing"
two sides to their nature. They are not only
endowed with taste , grace , kindliness , tha
art ot putting people at their case , the ready
Jest , the quick repartee , but , If the need'
comes , they can go out into the world as
their brothers have done , enter Into bustnesa
and make a fortune , or , at least , hold their
own among the fortune makers. The Ameri
can girl Is popular wherever she goes. A1
certain dainty finish distinguishes her at all
times and under all conditions. She. has
aavolr. falre. She Is not readily thrown from ,
her poise ; her background Is secure and aho
has the Immense advantage of knowing that
her world Is at her feet. Her mother , always
at her side. Judicious" , considerate , affection
ate , probably contentedly allows herself to
bo thrown into the shade by this second
jelf , who seems to her the very crown and.
flower of her life. The father , the brothers ,
the cousins ot the slender , sweet ina en
are all Intensely proud of her'and thd first
simply lives to servo her , to gratify her.
caprices , to furnish her with money , ta
wear her on his heart as ono wears a whlto
rosebud ln > bis buttonhole. But , being an
American father , ho would resent with scorn
the allegation that hl fair daughter la
merely an ornament. He knows her under *
lying strength , her reserve of force , bet
possibilities.
