FREELAND TRIBUNE. PUBLISnED EVERY MONDAY ANI) THURSDAY. TIIOS. A. BUCKLEY, EDITOR AND PROPRIETOR. TERMS, - - $1.50 PER YEAR. FREELAND, NOVEMBER 24, 1892. THE railway companies of the coun try are looking forward to 1893 as the most prosperous year that they will have for some time, as the im mense traffic from ever portion of the United States to the Chicago fair will help them all, no matter where locat ed. Meetings have already been held by the leading lines to consider what the rates shall be from different points, but no figures have yet been agreed upon. It is impossible to es timate the number of people who will attend the fair. THE Philadelphia Press has opened its batteries on Matt Quay, and gives notice that it will fight him in his de sire to be returned to the senate. It says there is far more opposition to him than is suspected, and intimates that a little work among the members of the legislature will result in his defeat, The great battle the Press waged against Cameron two years ago gives it courage to tackle Quay, and, for the sake of the state's reputation, Democrats should aid in the move ment against his re-election. ALL the honors that victorious Democracy can bestow have been showered upon William F. Harrity since election day, but these things have not yet brought on that malady, usually termed "swelled head," so common with successful leaders. His emphatic declaration that he does not want his name mentioned in connec tion with a cabinet or any other office is good proof that the viciory he did so much in winning has only increased his natural modesty. Harrity, how ever, will be remembered before his gray hairs appear. WHEN Garfield was president he I placed the limit of the pension expen ditures at $35,000,000. Grant con sidered that $30,000,000 was more than sufficient, but what would these two soldiers say today, were they alive, at the prospect of paying out $275,000,000 for pensions in 1893? That is the estimate placed for next year by government officials, who cal culate for the future upon the present loose method by which money is awarded. A prompt and thorough revision of the pension list is neces sary. It is filled with thousands of names of men who never saw the smoke of a battle, and no one should be more anxious in assisting this re form than the real veterans of the war. JUST like the strike here five years ago the Homestead affair collapsed all of a sudden, and the men vied with one another in their eagerness to get to the Carnegie offices to ask for work. This is the end of nine of every ten strikes that take place. It makes but little difference how just the demands of the men may be, or what principle is involved in the con test, public sympathy soon dies out and an unconditional surrender fol lows. Strikes do some good in prov ing to workingmen that they must look for some other remedy to allevi ate their burdens, and if they can set the masses thinking the time and money spent in them is 'no means lost. But to strike in the hope of bettering their condition or gaining any permanent advantage over their employers—that is fallacious. Co-operative Vacations. Those who live on the seashore need j for their recreation a little journey to j the mountains or into the interior plains of the country. The one in the interior needs, on the contrary, the moist salt sea air. The people who toil the hardest and most steadily are the ones really best entitled to outings. They are the ones most benefited by the change. The happy period has come in our his tory when such vacs*.one, such changes and outing trips are within reach of the poor. The girl who earns only a few dollars a week may have her vacation. The way to manage it is through co operation. If a number of girls or young workingmen would begin now and lay by each a small sum weekly for the vacation trip, by the time summer came the money would be ready. A very small amount would be enough. There are cottages by the seashore and in the mountains, plain little honses, where the rent is cheap. The furniture might be only of the temporary kind used in camping. Young men might hire a cook. Girls can always do theii own cooking. There will be plenty of time. The appetite is so good (luring vaca tion trips that nobody is fussy about eating. A cottage rented for the season by an association of vacation seekers could be occupied in turn by installments of the members, each installment having it a week, then giving place to the next. Between now and next summer charm ing spots can be found, the cottage 01 tent rented, the parties made up and the money saved. A vast amount of pleas ure can be got out of small means where £hero are intelligence and pluck. THE GREAT MONEY CONFERENCE. It Urging Its Sessions at Brussels—Sen ator Levi Chairman. BRUSSELS, NOV. 23.—The international monetary conference was opened at 3 p. □i. by the Belgian premier, M. Beernaert, in the marble hall of the Palais ties Academies. M. Beernaert was warmly received by the American and French delegates, but evoked fewer signs of approval from the delegates of Austria, Germany and England. At the close of his address Senator Montefiore 1 Levi was elected chairman of the conference and Edwin H. Terrell, United States min ister to Belgium, was elected vice chairman. Fenator Levi made no pretense of sympathy with the goldbugs, and described the pres- I pnt condition of the world's money as pecul- I Inr for its unprecedented instability, j There is no doubt that the English, Ger man and Austrian delegates will follow a dog-in-the-manger policy. So far as can be ascertained none of them has come with i the idea of making a serious proposal for j the rehabilitation of silver, and they will ; assume a purely negative attitude toward any such proposal coming from the United States or France. In both Austria and Germany the allusions of the press to the conference are almost without exception to the effect that it represents the efforts of the silver producing states in America to enhance their product at the expense of the rest of the world. It is very apparent that the Austrian, German and English delegates will be the leaders of every effort to render futile any work attempted by the United States or members of the IjUtin union MRS. AUGUST BELMONT DEAD. She Was the Noted Turfman's Widow and Commodore Perry's Niece. NEW YORK, NOV. 21.—Mrs. August Bel mont, widow of the financier and turfman, died Sunday at her home, 109 Fifth avenue. Mrs. Belmont was the daughter of Com modore Matthew Calbraith Perry and a member of one of the old historical families of America. Her grandfather was Chris topher Raymond Perry, who served in the navy during the revolutionary war. Chris topher Perry married in 1784, and the male members of his family have served in the navy with distinction. The two most notable were Commodore Oliver Hazard Perry, the hero of Lake Erie, who was Mrs. Belmont's uncle, and Commodore Matthew Perry, her father. John I. Davenport's Expenses. WASHINGTON, NOV. 23. —Secretary Charles Foster has received the open letter ad dressed to him by Congressman A. P. Fitch regarding the payment of moneys to John I. Davenport, chief supervisor of New York, for fees and marshals' expenses. The secretary would not indicate whether he would withhold payment of Mr. Dav enport's accounts, as was requested by Mr. Fitch. _________ President Sturges Co-respondent. NEW YORK, NOV. 23.— Edward .1. Wool sey has obtained an order requiring Fannie S. Woolsey to show cause why the judg ment for divorce which she obtained against him should not be set aside. Woolsey al leges that his wife has been intimate with Frank A. Sturges, president of the New York stock exchange, and Edward Perdel ford. Extensive Fire at Olean. OLEAN, N. Y., NOV. 23. —Fire destroyed the Blake Opera house block, a four story brick and two two story blocks adjoining on Union street, in the heart of the busi ness section of the city. The first floors were occupied by Andrews & Conkling's furniture store, Blake 6c Wilkinson's hard ware store and a bakery. Loss, $<30,000. The Panama Canal Scandal. PARIS, NOV. 23.—The chamber seems un able to choose the commission of thirty three to investigate the affairs of the Pana ma Canal company. The deputies decline to serve. M. Ribot's declaration that the Colombian government has not yet con sented to prolong the canal company's con cession has excited general comment. Four Bullets in a Burglar. BROOKLYN, NOV. 23.—Mrs. William G. Ford, of Bensonhurst, helped her husband to capture a burglar in their home on Twenty-second avenue, and then dressed the wounds of the housebreaker after Mr. Ford had put four bullets into hira. The burglar gave his name as John Buckley Edmunds on tlie Coal Deal. CHICAGO, Nov. 23.—Ex-Senator George F. Edmunds, who is now in this city, believes that the Reading coal combine is amenable to the Sherman antitrust law and its product liable to seizure by the govern ment, while the principals are liable to ar rest and imprisonment. Grosvenor AMRHIIH Carnegie. WASHINGTON, NOV. 23. Congressman elect Grosvenor, of Ohio, is in town. Gen eral Grosvenor, who is a close friend and adviser of Governor McKinley, brands Mr Carnegie as "a bandy legged Scotchman, who would go down to history as the arch sneak of this age."

To Examine the Alleged Miracle Window* Tfie Canton (Minn.) church window miracle, which has for several months been the cause of much excitement in Minnesota and northwestern religious circ les, is to be decided upon by a thor ough scientific examination by Bishop J. B. Cotter, of Winona, within whose jurisdiction the so called miracle exists. Several weeks ago the inhabitants of the little village of Canton, near Lanes boro, were startled by the announce ment that a portrait had by divine means been imprinted in a window of the Catholic church there, of which j Father Jones is pastor. The news spread, and thousands visited the village daily on foot and in carriages. At first the apparition appeared to consist of a young and comely woman with an in fant in arms, aijd at times a dim halo was discernible about her head. The story then took the form that this was a portrait of the Virgin Mary and Christ, and the crowds of visitors in creased tenfold. Paralytic cripples and other afflicted persons came in droves, and after a glimpse of the picture threw away their crutches, exclaiming Mi at they were cured. The matter finally attracted such widespread attention that Bishop Cotter visited the church in company with Father Cojne, of Lanesboro, and Father Perrin, of Brownville. The window, which is in the north gable of the church, was removed, and the bishop per sonally brought it to Winona, where he will give it a thorough examination in company with other prominent Catholic clergymen. The bishop is of the opin ion that the glass, which shows a slight discoloration, was once a church win dow, and that an adjacent building al lowed the light to strike it at an angle which rendered the figures visible.— Chicago Tribune. Lent by the Vatican. The exhibition opened in honor oi Christopher Columbus at Madrid has just received two of its most interesting exhibits, and the lender has been the Vatican. They are geographical maps of very early date and of extreme rarity. One drawn in the lifetime of Alexander VI shows the chart of the world as it was believed to exist at the commence ment of the Sixteenth century. A line, the drawing of which is traditionally ascribed to Alexander himself, defines the limits of the Spanish possessions in America, and separates them from those of Portugal. The second map—less ancient than the first—has a greater historical value, as the precise dato is not left to con jecture. An inscription in Spanisli an nounces that it is the handiwork of the cosmographer of the king of Spain, who prepared it by command of the king at Seville in the year 1520, and under it is the rather naive announcement, not that it is a map of the world, but a map of so much of the world as had been dis covered,up to that date. These documents are the more inter esting as their authenticity and pedigree are above all doubt. They come from the famous museum originally founded by Cardinal Borgia when he was prefect of the propaganda. No European insti tution is so rich in ethnographic treas ures, which have poured into it from all parts of the Christian world in answn to eloquent and pressing appeals. Volapuk Up to Date. Volapuk, the new tongue which was to bind all articulate creation together in the bond of a common language, has been hut little heard of for some time past. In Belgium, however, the Vola pukists are showing signs of life. A conference of Volapukists, as they arc called, is being held at Brussels, and ac cording to all accounts much enthusiasm is being displayed for Pastor Schleyer and his system. The Volapukists profess to be indiffer ent to the ridicule with which they have been assailed. Their pet notion is des tined to triumph and they can afford to wait. If the present generation does not reap the full benefit of their labors, suc ceeding generations will do so. Such has been the tenor of their discourses. But in the meantime, if their figures are to he trusted, tliey have made solid prog ress. It is only twelve years since Vola puk was first promulgated to a world which is slow to adopt new ideas, and already by its means 3,000,000 of people —English, French, German, Russian, Italian and Belgian—are able to con verse with each other on that common ground. Not only is this so, hut we are told that thirty newspapers altogether are published in Volapuk in different parts of the world; that courses of lectures on the new language are held at the uni versities of Munich and Turin, and that the Russian press censors are hound to be acquainted with it to qualify them selves for their posts.—London News. The Place to Grow Ilumtna.. The country most extensively culti vated for the growth of bananas, and which for the past three months has so distinguished itself by the unusual quality and lino development of its prod ucts, is situated in the Republic of Colombo, Bocas del Toro being now the shipping center and principal attraction for planters and merchants engaged in the industry. There are at the present time, taken at a rough estimate, no less than 18,000 acres of land devoted entirely to the cul tivation of bananas, from which can be shipped weekly 30,000 bunches, all aver aging 350 bananas to each bunch. These are termed "whole bunches"—besides which about 25,000 bunches of a smaller size, averaging 200 bananas each (which are termed halves) Btill remain uncut, and at the expiration of another week attain their full size, when they also are ready for shipment. At the lapse of the same length of time perhaps twice the quantity of hunches are ready to he cut, and so on from week to week, month to month, and year to year. New plantations are continually starting up, taking ten months from the time the "suckers," or plants, are first pnt into the ground to the time they commence to yield. THANKSGIVING PREPARATIONS. As the woods along November's hills age gently through the liuzo Which veils the Indian summer in the fading autumn days, And the good year lingers softly, ere his locks are crowned with gray. To hear the harvest blessings of a nation by the way. There's an air of invitation in the woods aud fields and skies To get ready for Thanksgiving and its famous pumpkin pies. The president and governor have issued each lwis call J'o the people of this prosperous land to honor, one and all, The season when the barns are full, the grana- ries well stored. When the farmers and the city folk all count a fattened horde, And the housewife, town and country, with Thanksgiving in her eyes. Begins to think of turkey and old fashioned pumpkin pies. If it bo true that there are some who think they've naught to bless. Who eat of sorrow's crust aud feel no cause for thankfulness. Whose purse is never filled at all, whose board is always bare- Why, there must bo a sympathy for them, too, In the air, And thankful twice will be those hearts where pity's fountains rise And flow to help poor neighbors to Thanksgiv ing pumpkin pies. The quail is calling lithely through the even ing calm and still. And the long roll of the pheasant's drum beats faintly o'er the hill; The cheerful cider mill creaks out its own melodious notes And the chorus of Thanksgiving swells from multitudes of throats; Which it's why it's just as well for those who are good as well as wise To think of folks who otherwise won't have their pumpkin pies. —J. P. 11. in Eliuira Telegram. TliuukKgiving Mince I'les. The mincemeat for the Thanksgiving pies will have been prepared some time ago. The pies themselves may be baked a week before the eventful day if need be. Our grandmothers had a theory that a mince pie to be prime should Ik? baked sev eral days before it is eaten, and freezing was not thought to impair its flavor in the least. Pumpkin also may be stewed and canned so as to be in readiness for the deep, luscious pies whenever they are needed. To make a pie which shall rival that to which the Quaker poet has paid tribute you may first line a deep pie plate with a rich crust, having a broad rim of crust at the edge. Now mix together one and one-half cup fuls of stewed pumpkin that has been pressed through a colander or sieve, oue half cupful of sugar, a salt spoonful each of ginger and cinnamon, half a teaspoonful of salt, half a teaspoonful of vanilla, two eggs beaten light and a little more than a cupful of rich milk. Bake in a quick oven. Line a plate in the same manner for the cranberry tart and All with stewed berries from which the skins have been strained. Decorate with twisted strips and small disks and crescents of pastry, as our grandmothers used to do. An old fash ioned cranberry tart is seldom seen in these days, und will be something of a curiosity to the children.—Chicago News. The Puritan Tlianskgiving. Popular as Thanksgiving day now is throughout the length and breadth of this land, it is in New England that it still con tinues to be what it lias been for morethuu two centuries—the greatest and most ea gerly anticipated holiday of the entire year. The old Puritans and their descendants, who so long frowned severely upon Christ mas—which indeed many of the latter still continue to do, refusing to it any recogni tion whatever—found an excellent substi tute for its cheerful hilarity, peace and good will in Thanksgiving day. For at least a week before the important occasion all was activity in an old fash ioned, rural New England household. A bushel or more of the best wheat was sent to the mill to be converted into flour. Great rounds of beef were chopped up into mincemeat. Cartloads of yellow pump kins, with an abundance of milk, spices, gingqr, molasses and sugar were made up into pumpkin pies. An abundance of turkeys, chickens and geese were killed and made ready for roasting. A pair of immense plum puddings were baked in the largest sized earthen pots, with Indian puddings and custard puddings to match, while there was baking of pound cake, plum cake and sponge cuke from morning till night.—BuiTalo Express. Family Reunions. Thanksgiving day dawns upon the world with an atmosphere of its own. Old Sol lias memories of Thanksgiving times when the family reunions were held at the old homestead in the country. Snow was on the ground in those days. That happened before the Snow King and New England had a falling out. In those good old times the grown people and the children, ever so many children there were, climbed into the old "bob" sleigh among the buffalo robes, and were driven miles and miles over the snow covered country to the music of the sleigh bells. Some of the grand parents of today were the children then, and they all remember it. There were great log fires burning in the fireplaces of the old homestead, and such a dinner as was only exceeded by the welcome they re ceived. That was Thanksgiving in the good old times.—New York Recorder. Recognized by the Catholic Church On Nov. 27, 1884, at Baltimore, the Cath olics of America, through their represent atives iu the third plenary council in Bal timore, for the first time officially recog nized the Thanksgiving proclamation of the president and provided for the recog nition and observance of the day in all churches of the land for all years to come. In 1886 a movement was quietly made to change the date of Thanksgiving day to Oct. 12, the anniversary of the discovery of America by Columbus. Ten out of twelve governors were in favor of the change, but eventually there was no change made. Johnuy'a Thanksgiving. Of course I didn't quite forget To Ims polite— at first; And then I eat and eat and eat Until I thought I'd burst. But grandiuama was awful nice; She had seen boys before; She said, "Hun round the table twice, Aud come and eat some more." Rather Dubious.

Erasmus Haston has offered to give to the town of North Brookfleld $20,000 outright for a public library building, or SOO,OOO for the same purpose, provided the town will pay interest on the latter sum at the rate of 8 per cent, a year during his life and that of his wife. It was a totally unexpected gift and is highly gratifying to the people of the town. Most of the people seem to favor the acceptance of the latter offer, but a meeting will soon be called to let the voters decide. Erasmus Haston, the donor, is a native of Belchertown, born in 1812. He was a farmer's boy, and worked his way along until by industry aud economy he accumulated a fortune. He went to North Brookfleld early in life and for a long time worked at shoe making, afterward at farming, hut for the last few years has not been actively employed at anything. Quiet and mod est, he has never sought public notice or public office, but his honorable and up right dealings with his fellow citizens have always been recognized.—Spring field (Mass.) Republican. tVholei,ule lleer Killing In the Northwest. Parties who have been out hunting in the country between the headwaters of i tile forks of the Santiam bring back ac- I counts of a wholesale destruction of deer in that region by Indians. Bands of Warm Spring and Klickitat Indians, j numbering from 150 to 200, get permis sion about July 1 to come over into the | Willamette valley to pick hops and leave their reservations. They come in over the Santiam wagon road and make a camp at Indian prairie, and then organ- 1 ize a grand roundup of deer. They sur- j round a vast tract of country on their ponies, which they ride through a coun try that a white man can hardly get through on foot, and drive the deer to ward a common center, and slaughter j them by hundreds, killing bucks, fawns and does indiscriminately, drying the choice parts of the meat for winter sup plies, It is stated that in the region about the headwaters of the various forks of the Santiam, Indians have this season slaughtered over 1,000 deer.
