thanksgiving. are apt to considerthat
there is little TO be thankful for. III
their pocket-books are trifie fiat, or
some worrying little troubles Cypress,
they are apt to be quite the reverse
of thankful, even at this season.
But if they will think seriously a
moment, they will find many reasons
for sincere thankfulness. Civil and
religious liberty; citizens of model
Government, whose wise and benefi-
cent laws protect thepeople and their
homes and property; freedom from
pestilence and war and famine; peace
and good will at home and toward
foreign nations; no failures of crops,
no national disasters, no universal
distress-each and every one of these,
with hundreds of others that could be
added. are causes of thankfuiness
not TO be despised. 1t may be that
some of us have individual troubles,
but there is not a case which might
not be worse.
Ponder over your benefits, and let
us all give thanks TO the Good Man
above for his unfailing care and his
never-ending blessings.

She Is A Mystery In Black.

The residents of High and Frank
lin streets, in the western part of Han
over, Pa, are living in mortal dread
of what they call The Woman in
Black In the last two weeks mys-
FERROUS woman, heavily yelled, and
dressed in the most sober black, has
called at several houses about nine
O'Clock at night, and asked TO see
some member of the family. She was
usually asked TO step into the parlor,
while the servant, or the person who
had answered the bell, would notify
the party asked for. When that per
son entered the parlor, they would be
surprised TO find no one there. a
thorough search of the house would
fail TO show what had become OF
the woman, or in what manner she
left the building, as in all cases the
doors and windows were found TO
have been locked on the inside. In
no case was anything stolen, but
shortly after the strange visitation
some member of the family would be
taken suddenly ill; or, If there was
anv one of the family i'll at the time
they would take turn for the worst.
All efforts TO find out who the strange
unknown is have been unavailing,
and whenever a door-bell is rung in
that portion of the borough after
nightfall, an anxious face can be seen
peering from behind the window
shades before the door is opened.

Boiled to Death.

Henry Brunier and John Fisher,
employees at John Weitzers butchery
establishment in Baltimore, got into
a quarrel over a trifling matter Fri
day and later began to fight. They
clinched and threw each other around
the slaughter house, to the amuse
ment of the other employees, for some
time. Fisher, who was older and
stronger than Brunier, had the adj
vantage all the time, but the latter
stuck to him and the two fought like
bull dogs.
Fisher managed to get the boy near
a vat of boiling water which is used
to take bristles off of hogs and pushed
him in. The boys body from his neck
to his knees was scalded in a most
horrible manner. The lads cries
brought the other workmen to the
vat and he was soon pulled out and a
doctor summoned. He was sent to
the Maryland university hospital and
suffered intense agony until he died.
Both men had been friends up 10 the
time of the fight, and lived at Mr..
Weitzers. Fisher was arrested.

Eaten BY An Alligator.

Last Tuesday a negro boy named
Tom Washington, of Camden county,
Ga, was captured and eaten by an
alligator Washington, in company
with his father and another negro,
went fishing in South Camden. After
supplying themselves with half boat
load of the finny tribe, the party
headed their boat for the landing.
Just before starting. however, Tom
was ordered to change from the Prov
to the stern of the boat. In attempt
ing 10 do this he fell over board.
Before he could regain the boat a
monster alligator arose TO the surface
and fastened his jaws about the boy
body. The boy began TO shrek and
cry most pitifully and called to his
father for help. Human assistance,
however, could avail nothing, and the
boy was carried beneath the waters.
The two negroes then returned 70 the
landing, told the story over the COM
munity and, securing party OF ten,
put back to the fatal scene. The
men were all armed. and after reach
ing the spot little dog brought along
for the purpose was thrown into
the water as a bait for the alligator.
No sooner did the dog strike the water
than the monster made an attack on
it. At given signal everybody fired
upon the huge animal, killing him in
SANITY. Thealligator' body was then
taken ashore and cut open, and in its
entrails human flesh and clothing were
found.
