THANKSGIY INC.
Thank Thee. O God. whc didst ordain
The bounteous crops that nature
yields,
Who gave to earth the sun and rain.
And blessed the workers in the fields!
Our barns are filled with golden stores,
The happy land's astir with health,
The world s a-begging at our doors
To share in this imperial wealth.
We bring. O Lord, with willing hand.
The fruit of love and labor's gain,
The gift that rises from the land.
The growth of valley, hill, and plain.
Some Tiling's to be Thankful for.
Be thankful, first, that yon are living
in this year of bountiful harvests, atad
general prosperity.
Rejoice and be glad also that your lot
is c. it in America. You know you
might haye been born a celestial pagan
in China or a cannibal in Africa, in
stead of in a land of churches and
schools like this of ours, where benevo
lence has scattered broadcast charitable
and philanthropic institutions.
You ought to be thankful if you are
enjoying good health. If you are able
t:> gather frieads and kindred about
your beard to day and the circle is un
broken, you ought to be doubly thank
ful to a kind providence.
Tkanksgiving-day recalls the toils and
sacrifices of our forefathers, and their
heroism. Let us be grateful that we do
not live in a day when it is necessary to
go to church with a gun over our shoul
der.
Other nations have been plagued by
pestilence or famine, while we have
been blessed with general health and
bonntifnl harvests. We might, like the
Rot mans, properly make Thanksgiving
day this year a feast in honor of Ceres.
To the Rnler of Nations we should be
gratefnl for these blessings.
Thanks imply gratitude,and gratitnde
ennobles the hnman heart—begets char
ity. The fullest joy of this thanksgiv
ing season comes along with the disposi
tion to give according to one s ability.
If we stop long enough to meditate
about it, we shall find something to b»>
thankful for every day. There was the
man who was bemoaning his poverty in
that he had no money to buy shoes to
cover his bare feet; but when he met a
man who had lost both his feet, he was
reminded that he ought to be grateful
that he was able to walk barefooted.
Some grateful poet has said that we
ought to give thanks—
For all that God in mercy sends,
For health and children, home and
friends.
For comfort in the time of need.
For every kindly word and deed,
For happy thoughts and holy talk,
For guidance in our daily walk.
For everything give thanks!
For beauty in this world of ours,
For verdant grass and lovely flowers.
For song ot birds and hum of bees,
For the refreshing summer breeze,
For hill and plain, for stream and
wood,
For the great ocean's mighty flood.
For ever thing give thanks!
For the sweet sleep that <x>mes with
night.
For the returning morning's light.
For the bright sun that shines on
high.
For the stare glittering in the sky,
For these and everything we see,
O Lord! our hearte we lift to Thee.
For everything give thanks!
The Meteor Display.
The meteor display on November 14,
15 and 16 was disappointing. Unfavor
able conditions hampeied the astrono
mers at the Naval Observatory at Wash
ington on the 14th; clouds prevented
observations until 8 o'clock a. m., and it
was only partially clear at any time.
Path? of ten Leonid meteors were plotted
on the star chart. One of these was as
bright as a second magnitude star, but
the others were fainter. The conditions
at the Harvard Observatory were Very
unfavorable for observing the meteoric
display. The efforts of the observers
met with some success, however. On
November 16 twenty meteors were seen
about 5 o'clock a. m. at Chicago; the
student watchers had an opportunity
which was denied to the astronomers of
the Yerkea Observatory. At the Flower
Observatory of the University of Penn
sylvania, Philadelphia, the watchers re
corded 102 meteors, 60 cf which were
Leonids.
Nearly all the meteors observed were
faint, only a few of them being of the
second magnitude. Most of the non-
Leonids were scarcely discernible. In
no instance did a meteor leave a trail
visible for more than a few seconds.
The Harvard Observatory counted 04,
but the display hardly came up to the
expectations of the astronomers. Pro
fessor Howe, of tne University of Den
ver, reported that he counted 18 Leonids
besides a large number of meteors in
other portions of the sky. On Novem
ber 14 many students of Princeton stayed
out long after midnight to observe
them, and in order that all might have
an opportunity of observing them, the
bells in the town rang to wake up the
students at one o'clock. No photo
graphs were taken of the few stray me
teors which were seen. At McGill Uni
versity photographs of 156 meteors were
obtained. At Lima, Peru, at half past
12 o'clock on November 15, there was a
strong earthquake shock, but no celes
tial phenomena were observed. By the
falling of an aerolite seven miles sonth
of Crescent City, 111., a residence was
partly wrecked, tearing away a portion
of the upper story. The aerolite buried
itself in the ground about three feet
from the foundation of the house.
In England a balloon made an ascension
for the pnrpose of observing the Leonid
shower. The observers saw only fiye
meteors, and they were obliged to make
a sudden descent, as the balloon was
drifting toward the sea. As a result
two of the three occupants of the bal
loon were injured. Generally speaking,
the European observations proved a fail
ure, except in the Austrian Alps, where
on November 15, no less than 300 Leon
ids were seen and photographed. One
hundred were seen at Paris, and a fair
display at Brussels.
The most interesting report received
from the observations in the United
States on November 15 is a dispatch,
unsubstantiated as yet by astronomical
authorities, to the effect that a large
meteorite fell in the woods just east of
Webster City, la. The dispatch said
that the falling body came down
with a terrific roar and,all seething and
smoking, plowed out a hole in the
ground .'>o feet square If the report is
verified, the find will be more than usu
ally interesting, because, while meteor
ites at times fall to the earth, it is not
know that any of the Leonids have
hitherto penetrated through the earth's
dense atmosphere without being entire
ly consumed. - Sci. Am.

Politic'ill.
The factional fight that has broken
out among the Quay lieutenants in
Allegheny over tht legislative contest in
the First district, is becoming more bit
ter every (lay. The open declaration of
war between the Citv Hall contingent
and the Simon-Andrews combination is
being looked upon as a struggle for su
premecy between the opposing factions.
The trouble seems to be the culmina.
tion of a long standing jealousy that
has existed among the followers of the
"old man." Ex-Senator William A.
Andrews, who is a candidate for the
legislature in the First district, is sup
posed to be in Quay's confidence just
now. His entrance into Allegheny pol
itics is looked upon as an intrusion bv
(Quay's former supporters.
Senator Jones, of Arkansas, chairman
of the Democratic National committee,
is now engaged in getting Democratic
Senators to sign a ('all for a caucus at
which to agree on concerted action
against the admission to the Senate of
M. S. Quay under appointment of Gov.
Stone. This step is being opposed by
Senator Vest, of Missouri, who, while
he will vote against Col. Quay iu order
to be consistent with his record on such
questions, is anxious for personal rea
sons to see him get his seat Senator
Jones is somewhate hampered in his
present purpose by the fact that during
the Senatorial fight at Ilarrisburg last
winter he allowed himself with other
prominent Democrats to be persuaded
by Congressman J. C. Sibley into call
ing upon the Democratic Legislators to
vote for Quav in case the election of
one of their own party was impossible.
Congress meets next Monday, and if
the Senate seats Quay it will be only
for one year or until the assembling of
our State Legislature. The day our
State Legislature assembles, that day-
Quay's seat again becomes vacant.
A dispatch from Philadelphia, Tues
day, said:
"Word has gone forth among Quay
machine workers in every county that
their undivided attention is to be given
to the capture of members of the next
Legislature. Under ordinary circum
stance the selection of State Senators
and Representatives would not be con
sidered seriously for five or six months
to come, but conditions this year are
unusual. Already the amti-Quay lead
ers have their plains well under way
for a vigorous campaign for the election
of members pledged not only to oppose
the re-election of Quay to the United
States Senate, but also to vote for vari
ous reforms in election and other im
portant laws.
Such strength have the enemies of
the machine developed that the Quay
people are practically forced to follow
the example of the opposition in setting
the campaign ball rolling almost a year
before election. Therefore the notice
to county leaders to so engineer their
local fights as best to assist the Quay
candidates for places in the next Senate
and House.
Quay's friends in Philadelphia have
been notified that he will be here Fri
day of this week for a conference. The
subject of legislative prospects will be
considered at length and additional in
structions will be sent out.
Quay himself is known to be much
more concerned over the situation in
Pennsylvania than that at Washington.
The action of the United States Senate
for or against the seating of Quay on
Governor Stone's appointment is a
small matter in comparison with the at
titnde of the next Pennsylvania Legis
lature. If the Senate were to give Quay
his seat it would be only for the com
paratively brief interval of one year,
until the assembling of the Legislature.
The latter must decide the matter of
the remaining four years of the Senator
ial term.
This explains why Quay has entrust
ed his Washington contest to the man
agement of Senator Penrose, devoting
his own time and attention to prelim
inary plans for the crucial struggle in
Pennsylvania, now about to begin.
Qnay's programme includes the dis
tribution of Federal patronage plums
where they will produce the greatest
number of legislative votes. In proof
of this, orders have already been issued
that the successors of United States
District Attorney Beck and United
States Marshal Reilly are to be chosen
outside of Philadelphia -in fact, are to
be presented as prizes to leaders of in
terior counties who can make the best
showing in the matter of Quay legisla
tors. These two places are tilled by
Cleveland appointees, whose heads are
scheduled to go at the expiration of
theirfour years' service, next April
Other less valuable Federal appoint
monts in various parts of the State are
to be similarly disposed of.
Another feature of Quay's plan is
that each aspirant for delegate to the
Republican National Convention must
demonstrate that he can control a legis
lative vote. Otherwise the machine
will line up its forces against hiui
Each of the census supervisors recently
appointed, on recommendation of Quay
and Penrose, is bound to a similar
obligation.
The Kentucky courts refuse to be
parlies to Goebel's attempts to steal the
State. The contention, of the Goebel
ites that 1,197 votes cast in Nelson
county for Taylor snould be thrown out
because of a typographical error, has
been overthrown. The lower court de
cided that the votes cast for W. P.
Taylor should be counted for W. S.
Taylor, the candidate for whom the
voters intended to vote, and the Court
of Appeals sustained the lower court
without a dissenting voice. There are
still some technical disputes to be
settled, but the evident disposition of
tee courts to render honest opinions in
dicates that the machinations of the
Goebelites will come to naught.
Official Notice of War.
The British ambassador.Lord Pannce
fote, has informed the Secretary of
State that in view of a doubt which ap
peared to exist whether the British
government recognized that the hostili
ties now in course of progress of South
Africa constitute a state of war be
tween Great Britain and the two South
African republics, he has been directed
by Lord Salisbury to inform the Secre
tary of State that the South Afri
can Republic and the Orange I'ivi-
Stat-e having declared war against the
Queen, and having invaded the British
colonies of the Cape and Natal, a state
war has actually existed since < )ctober
11 between England and the South
African Republic and the Orange Free
State. This notice will probably not
mateaially effect the United States ex
cept to enable the government to deal
vigorously with any persons who at
tempt to recruit in the United States
for either of the parties to the war.
Boer or British. Nothing has been
heard from Consul Mat-rum,at Pretoria,
recently, respecting the measure of suc
cess attending his efforts to care for tin*
British interests in the two Dutch re
publics which were confided to bim
THE AFRICAN WAR.
' On Thursday Gen. Methun telegraph
ed that he had attacked the Boers at
| Belmont on the west border and defeat
' ed them; and there were reports of more
fighting at Ladysmith.
1 On Satnrdav the Boers were reported
to be in force in the Cape Colony or
j Cape of Good Hope district, destroying
the railroads and railroad bridges, so as
to prevent the English from sending
troops north from the seaports into the
; Orange Free State: and the Boer settlers
| there were organizing to join the Boer
J army Dispatches from London, that
; day, said that the whole English nation
were fretting over their armv being out
classed by the Boers, particularly in
field artillery and were criticizing their
War department and their generals:
and it was feared that Russia would
take advantage of England's predica
ment in South Africa, to encroach upon
the northern and western boundaries of
India, and take what she wants of north
eastern China, and thus bring on a war
that would involve all Europe.
On Sundav Gen. Methum reported
having had another battle with the
Boers.on his march to the relief of Kim
berley, in which he defeated them,
through not without serious loss, in
cluding two naval officers who were
with him.
In Natal the Boers were advancing
toward Pieterma ritzbnrg (Petermar
ket-town) to intercept Gen. Buller's ad
vance from Durban, on the east coa.-t.
Early Tuesday moruing the English
War office had not yet received Gen.
Methun's list of causualties at the bat
tles of Belmont and Gras Pan. on ac
count of a break in the cable, and it
was feared that the Ninth Lancers had
been drawn into a trap and captured.
In London the outlook for the British
was considered to be very dark.
Loss of tlie Charleston.
The Navy Department received the
following cablegram from Captain
Leutze, commanding the naval station
at Cavite, dated Manila Nov. 24.
"Culgoa reports Charleston disappear
ed."
The Culgoa was the relief ship sent
out from Hongkong. It is believed at
the Navy Department that the Charles
ton has slipped down into deep water
from the steep rock on which she was
resting at the bow. This report has
dissipated the last hope of saving the
ship.
The P. «V W. R* R.
The P. & W. is to be almost entirely
rebnilfbetween the river and Callery.
The sharp curves along Pine creek will
be strighteued, and the Bakerstown
tunnel and steep grades will be avoided
by building a new road to the west of
present road bed. The reporter of the
Pittsburg Times who accompanied the
inspectors on their late tour thus de
scribes the improyements lately made
on that part of the road in this county.
"From Butler Junction to Harmony
Junction, via the Butler branch, the en
tire distance of 17. s miles has been < 11-
tirely modernized and laid with 100-
pound steel rails of the American Socie
ty standard. New heavy steel bridges
have been built at Butler, McCalmont
and Ribold, with solid piers and abut
ments of sandstone. This makes the
branch a first-class road in every re
spect, and unlimited speed is now the
rule on that part of the Pittsburg &
Western road.
The new line known as the Low
Grade, Ribold "exit off." between Ri
bold Junction and Harmony Junction,
has just beeu completed, and is a very
important line. It follows the picture
sque Connoquenessiug creek in Butler
county through a new territory hither
to undeveloped, traversing oil fields and
mineral lands of great value. This is
the link which gives New Castle a di
rect connection with Butler and Punx
sutawney and the Eastern cities. Its
total length is 7.9 miles, and it is laid
with 100-pounds steel rails, aud is one
of the best lines recently constructed in
this country. The length of tangents
is miles, or 54 per cent of the entire
length of the line, and the length of
curved line is 8.59 miles, and the maxi
mum curvature is 4 degrees and the
maximum compensated grade 18 feet to
the mile.
There are four fteel bridges on this
line spanning the Connoquenessing, the
first with two 70-foot plate girder spans,
one-half inch thick throughout, with
buckle plate, soliil continuous floor
system. Bridges Nos. 2 and S have two
HO-foot deck plate girders each, and
bridge No. 4 has three 80 foot spans.
Th ; .s new "cut off" is a splendid piece
of road, and shortens the distance
greatly; in fact, it brings New Castle
and Butler to within 39.5 miles of each
other and permits the heavy consolidat
ed engines of the road to haul 2.371
tons.
It is understood that this new line
will be used as a part of the main line
soon, and the old line, with high trest j
les, heavy grades and gey ere curves be
tween Ribold and Callery may be nban
doned. In these days, when easy grades '
are a necessity, such a change is liable
to occur, and Callery Junction will not
suffer much, as it will still be on the
main line of the system.

Had to Pay.
Paul Didier, Chief Engineer of the
Pittsburg & Western road, on the trip
the other day to inspect the improve
ments on the" line told rather an inter
esting story. Near Caller}' Junction
there is a cut which was recently made.
When the train passed through he
pointed to the steep slopes on each side
of the line and said:
"We had a curious experience here
while the big steam shovel was work
ing. There was an Irishman in charge
ot the shovel, a man who was used to
handling the big machine and could
make it do almost anything but talk.
One day he went to the chief of the con
struction gang and said he could work
no longer. He was asked why and after
some hesitation replied that he did not
want to work the shovel in that partic
ular cut. He was willing to do his
duty in any other place. It took the
boss some time to worm the reason
from him. The cut is made through an
old cemetery and the Irishman had
noticed what he thought were bits of
coffin and lione coming up in the big
bucket when he was scooping out the
slopes. Nothing could change his de
termination, even when he was shown
that he was committing no desecration.
He was firm in the belief that he was
disturbing the long rest of some of the
pioneers.
"After the work was completed one
of the farmers in the vicinity entered a
suit for damages. It was one of the
most curious, perhaps, that a claim
agent ever had to deal with. This was
not so much on account of the sum of
money demanded as from the circum
stances on which the claim was based.
The farmer wanted S2OO. What do you
think it was for? He claimed that the
steam shovel had scooped away the "re
mains of his great grandfather who had
bceu buried in that disused cemetery
nearly a century before. This hurt his
feelings and he put the amount at SIOO.
We had to pay him."'—Pittsburg News.
