THANKSGIVING PROCLAMATION.

"By the President of the United
States, a proclamation: A highly
favored people, mindful of their de-
pendence on the bounty of a Divine
Providence, should seek a lifting
occasion to testify their gratitude
and ascribe praise to him who is the
author of their many blessings. 1t
behooves us then to look back with
thankful hearts over the past year
and bless God for his infinite mercy
in vouchsafng to our land enduring
peace to our people freedom from
pestilence and famine; to our hus-
bandmen abundant harvests, and to
them that labor a recompense OF
their toll. Now, therefore, L, Ben
iamin Harrison, President of the
United States of America, earnestly
recommend that Thursday, the 28th
day of this present month of No.
vember, be set apart as a day OF
national thanksgiving and prayer,
and that the people of our country;
ceasing from the cares and labor OF
their working day, shall assemble in
their respective places of worship
and give thanks to God who has
prospered us on our way and made
our paths paths of peace, beseeching
him to bless our present and future
good, making it truly one of thanks
giving for each reunited home circle
as we'll as for the nation at large
In witness whereof I have hereuntc
set my hand and caused the seal OF
the United States to be affixed.
Done at the city of Washington
this first day of November, in the
year of our Lord one thousand eigh
hundred and eighty-nine and of thu
independence of the United States
the one hundred and fourteenth.

waved the corporation flag, the body
being of three strips of bunting red, blue,
red, the upper right hand corner show
ing the distinctive seal, a circle of white,
the outer edge bound by double ring
of black, the rings being crossed by
ties, within, the initials of the COM
pany, Oahu Railway & Land Company.
Attentive and obliging officials were on
hand during the entire day to forward
the comfort of the thousands who were
present, Manager Dillingham;, Secretary
Geo. w. Ashley, Superintendent Jen-
nings, each aided the other. The first
train with five closed and two open cars
carrying about 800 people hauled away
from the station at a. m. drawn by
the engine Kaaia, engineer Clark man
ipulating the throttle while conductor
John Coakley performed the duties
appertaining to that position. The train
received quite hearty cheering as 1t
drew out, and soon was speeding on It's
way. The next train was attached to
the engine under charge of Engineer
Kent, L. L. Lepeirre acting as conductor:
To this train was attached one closed
and four open cars carrying two
hundred people. From this on, trains
were dispatched with fair regularity a
total of four round trips being made by
each engine the trains carrying a gross
total of nearly 1000. A representative o.
the ADVERTISER took ride on the en-
CINE with Engineer Kent on the noon
trip and noticed that every care haC
been taken to prevent accident. Track
walkers were placed atsuitable distances
| switchmen were on hand at the proper
time and everything worked smoothly
and we'll. The scenery is we'll worthy
inspection and it opens to view a section
of country but previously little known
The band played during the afternoon
and the best patronized place on the 10th

ADVERTISEMENTS.
A CARD. TO The PUBLIC.

THE UNDERSIGNED AS MANAGER
i of the Van Tassell Bros. deeply deplores
the fatal and unexpected occurrence on
the 10th inst. by which Prof. ]. L. Van Tas-
sell met his death. Ali that human fore
thought could have provided for had been
done to prevent accident. The plan ar
ranged and which Prof. Van Tassell went
to fulfill was to alight within or near the
Palace enclosure, such was the informa-
ton that had been given His Majesty who
had remained at the Palace to witness the
descent instead of attending a luau at his
boat-house. The aeronant used his own
judgment to accomplish this desired end
and although cutting loose in time the
parachute instead of falling took an unex-
pected contrary course and assembled at
times and was blown to seward. Prof.
P. T. Van Tassell and myself tender our
earnest thanks for assistance rendered by
the Hawaiian Government and Capt Rice
of the tug Eleu, His Exc'y Lorrin A
Thurston and Mr.. A. W. Carter of the
yacht Hawaii, Captain Williams and crew
of the Kahihilani, Coxswain Horswell and
crew of cutter belonging to II. B. M. S.
Espeigle, Mr.. Frank Godfrey of the ADvER-
User, and Mr.. Wray Taylor of the Bulle-
tin. Messrs. Alex. Robertson, Geo. Bruins,

The Peoples Picnic.

It is not often that corporations, which
are, as rule, reported to have no soul,
come forward in the manner that the
Oahu Railway Co. did through their
Manager, B. F. Dillingham;, and offer
the public generally an opportunity to
enjoy themselves. Such is the case,
however, in connection with the free ride
given to everybody on the 10th inst. over
the road, as far as finished, of the Oahu
Railway Co. The public had been in
formed several days previously of the
coming event and over three thousand
three hundred tickets had been dis
tributed. On His Majesty's birthday the
road was opened for general travel and
on that day the neatly designed station
at Iwilei was brought more directly to
public notice. From the fagstaffs on the
three towers on the roof there foated
flags, the eastern one displaying the
eolors of the United States, the western

The Balloon Ascension.

Everything had been arranged for a
balloon ascension and parachute jump
by Prof. Joseph L. Van Tassell, and
notice was given at 80 p. m, according
to previous arrangement, from the fire
bell at the Tower, that the ascension
would take place. The balloon had been
located at the foot of Punchbowl Hill in
the quarry very near the spot from which
Professor Melville had made his very
successful ascension. The imitation COM
menced about 2 o'clock and the big bag
was quickly filled. Quite number of per-
sons were present to witness the initiation
which were conducted in rapid and
very satisfactory manner. At 2:l9 p. m.
the aeronant declared himself ready and
with pleasant wave of the hand to a
few friends he straddled the iron bar OF
the parachute and grasping the ropes
gave the order "let go" and started on
his ride to-death. Elsewhere the details
are given of the events leading up to the
sad catastrophe.
