The Character or tho Day and Its OBJ
servnnces by all Glasses.
A brighter, lovelier day for Thanksgiving
than yesterday was could not have been de-
sired. The sun shone brightly all day, the
air was crisp not cold, the sky was cloudless,
and the lingering haze of Indian summer, as
if loath to go; hung upon the low hills, and
circled the horizon with its dreamy shadows.
And the citizens of Washington enjoyed the
day. From early morning until late at night
the streets were crowded. The parade in
the morning of the Continental Guards and
their escorts, and in the afternoon of the
fire department. were features of the day.
More of the churches held services yesterday
than over before in this city, and the attend
ance was unusually large, The theaters had
crowded audiences, and other places ofamuse-
ment were we'll filled. The Smithsonian,
which is always open on holidays, and the
Corcoran Art gallery, specially opened for the
day, were also largely attended. gratifying
feature of the day was the orderly and sober
manner in which the day was observed. No
drunkenness was perceived during the day,
and but little at night, and the Office of the
policeman was not an unhappy one yesterday
at least. The poor and distressed were prac-
tically cared for, and the day, beautiful in its
externals as to weather and incidents, wat
equally admirable in the exhibition of the
inner beauties of charit y and religion.

A QUESTION OF TIME.
Trying TO Get RIA OF Twelve Seconds
Which Are Said TO Be Annoying.


WASHINGTON, Nov. 2s.-The new time for
Washington is represented as being eight
minutes and twelve seconds faster than the
local time. There docs not seem to bo any
very good reason for complicating this now
time with the additional twelve seconds. The
answer would probably be that it was the
exact difference of time at the observatory,
but there does not seem to DO any particular
reason for making the observatory the center,
cspecially when the location is not central
but off to one side, and even liable to change.
| II there is to be any center it would seem
that it should be the capitol, and not the OBJ
servatory.
| Washington is put down as ITO west of
Greenwich, and the line of 10 is said to coin
eide with the west side Of Fifth street east
Now, it would seem that if we were to take
a different time than that which we have
been governing ourselves by in the past, that
we had better take even figures, the regular
time of the 10Th meridian carried forward to
the nth, four minutes to degree, win make
the two degrees, eight minutes If we com
plicate our time with additional seconds, we
might as well have time for every square
east and west; then we will have the exact
time for every square-post clocks at every
corner and put up the notice, "this is the
time for this square"
The subject of time is quite arbitrary. AL
though city may be on what is known as II
regular meridian east or west of some arbi-
trary fixed point, all parts of the city cannot
be on the exact line, and when we come to
mathematical oxactness our time must vary
for every step we take east or west. But in
any locality the standard time has always
been understood to be the time of some one
central and convenient point, and never
among the general public has there ever been,
when place was on asocalled meridian, any
note of the odd seconds east or west.
This being the case aud practical basis OF
local time, we hope the twelve seconds with
which they are trying to complicate our time
will be allowed to pass unnoticed, and we
simply reckon our time by the number of de-
grees we are west of the soventy-ifth merid.

young man TO the station house, where he
was released upon depositing $40 as collateral.
A while later Officer Vannerman was called

A NEW PARTY FoREsHADowED
The Work Of the Women's Christian Tenn
pernnce Union.

Last night at Calvary Baptist church,
which was beautifully decorated for the oc-
casion, and crowded to its utmost capacity,
Miss Frances L. Willard, president of tho
Women's Christian Temperance union, out
lined the methods of that society, whose OBJ
ject is to educate the people up to the practice
of total abstinence and the enforcement of
prohibitory laws.
The society has over three thousand local
auxiliaries, working from Puget sound, to
Florida. Michigan, New Hampshire, and
Vermont already have laws requiring scien-
titic instruction in the effects of stilnulants
upon human tissues, the Women's Christian
Temperance union having secured this legis-
lation. Miss Willard said she had this year
visited every state and territory of the
United States i'll the interest of this
society, and is satisfied that the peoples voice
is beginning to spell out "rrohibition 1"
in decided tones. The next great movement
will be TO secure 100000 signatures to q
petition from voters and women in all the
states, requesting all the national political
conventions that meet next spring for the
nomination of presidential candidates. to put
u plank in their party platforms favoring a
prohibitory amendment to the constitution.
If this is not done by one of the old parties,
the speaker declared, the temperance men
were determined to exercise the divine right
of boiling.
She said that the temperance people have
long memories, and while they have no hard
words for individuals, their opinion of
the liquor traffic and its apologsts W i'll be
manifested in the deeds which alone can
prove devotion and pre-empt victory. She
claimed that the fanaticisms of yesterday
are the reforms of to-day and the
victories of tomorrow, citing historic
proofs. and commanding the "home protection
cause" of the Women's Christian Temper
ance union to all fair minded people. The
twenty third of December will be the tenth
anniversary of the 'women's crusade" II
was Gods Pentacost to the women of the
land, and its sequel before the year 1900
would be organized victory and an outlawed
liquor traffic in America.
