Made great by bis eccentricities,
George Francis Train seems doomed
to sorrow in his old age. No man
has expressed greater ambition or
given birth to more wonderful and
impossible propositions than he, yet
with all his faults and mental irregu-
larities there was an element of warm
heartedness in his conduct that APP
pealed to at least tie sympathy of
the American public. He was the
friend of childhood and for long,
weary weeks sat in a New York park
ministering to the happiness of the
little ones that surrounded him. Re-
Gentle Mr.. Train finds himself in
prison and his wife applying for a
divorce. A few ye-rs of bitterness
will terminate the career of this liv-
ing monument of eccentricities.
American history will be incomplete
without many pages devoted not only
to bis peculiarities but to the good
deeds of his life.

The New York World is noted for
breaking into pastures new, but when
it attacks the old time Thanksgiving
day it passes all bounds. Here is
what it says:
:'The near approach of the time for
the annual Thanksgiving proclama-
tons of the president and governors
suggests again the appropriateness
of tie "last Thursday in November:
for such an occasion.
The fact that the pilgrim Puritaps
''set apart" this date has been suffi-
GENTLY honored in a century of con-
formity to it. These worthy people
took even their festivities solemnly,
and there was certain appropriate
ness in their choosing the end of the
bleak and dreary November for their
season of thanksgiving and praise"
But the cosmopclitanized America
of to-day is of more CHEEKY humor,
and is entitled to more suitable day
for its official festival. One of the
e igious journals recently made the
sensible suggestion that -
Instead of the last Thursday in
November. which has no significance
in itself, Oct, 18th be designated.
1t is the anniversary of tie landing
of Columbus. Pumpkins are ripe
and turkeys can be caught TO prepare
for the guillotine a month earlier.
And as for the weather, mid-October
is much more conducive to thankful
ness then the tail-end of bleak Nov
ember."
The beautiful days of last week
would have lent themselves perfectly
to an occasion of thanksgiving. Even
late October is better than late
November. Cannot this holiday be
redeemed from its depressing sur
roundings ?"
Just immagine thanksgiving din
ner of pun pkin and mince pies, tur-
key and all the other accomplishments,
when the sun is shining hot enough to
bake the pedestrians brains, as it has
been doing for the past month in good
old Missouri. 1t would never do in
the world. Besides what would be.
come of the thanksgiving story, time
worn and chestnutly it is true, but
none the lees, like the dinner, good to
have handy, where the poor widow
is shiveriDg over a cold hearth and
praying 20 the Lord to send home her
long absent son, who went to sea
years ago and never returned and
who mTaculously appears just in the
nick of time to save his mother from
freezing and starving to death on
thanksgiving day. October is good
enough for ''loafering around in'' but
when it comes to thanksgiving day,
November leads the van.

THE HEROIC PEYTON.
His Body ut Last Discovered. Disfigured
Almost Beyond Recognition.


Almost Beyond Recognition.
IFRoM STAFF CORRESPONDENT
JoHNsTowN, June 4-The body of Daniel
Peyton, the Paul Revere of the Conemaugh
Valley and the first man to go down at the call
of the demon of death on Black Friday, was
found beneath mass of broken trees at the
base OF the hill west of Johnstown this after
noon. 1t was horribly dishgured. and the fea-
lures of the man who sacrificed his life that
thousands of his fellow beings might live were
almost beyond recognition. Daniel Peyton's
name will go down to history as among the
greatest of modern heroes. He it was to whom
the message sent from South Fork by John
G. Park to the effect that the dam was about
to burst was conveyed. Needless of his own
safety young Peyton jumped upon horse and
started on his journey of warning through
Johnstown. Up one street and down another
he rode like mad, yelling at the top OF his voice
for people to fee to the hills. Some took his
advice, but others thought him maniac and
paid no attention to his wild note of alarm.
Finally the dam gave way, and the waters
came rushing down the rav1ne and into the
city. Like an assassin in pursuit of his victim,
the angry waters kept gaining ON Peyton at
every turn. On and on he rode, and nearer
and nearer came the deluge of death. At last
it was within LOO feet of him, and coming like
the wind. Finally the bank hove in sight-a
heaven of security was at hand. Before the
brave lad reached it, however. the message of
death had called him from his steed, and horse
and rider, overtaken by the water, were swept
away into the great beyond
face upward beneath the remnants of massive
oaks, while hard by lay the gallant horse that
had so nobly done all in his power for hu-
manity before he started to seek place of
safety for himself Peyton was the son Of
John w. Peyton, one of Johnstown's wealthiest
citizens. CoNNELLY.

He explained the advantage of constitutional
