THANKSGIVING OF LOVE.

Several Notable Weddings Last Evening
The Watson-spangler Nuptials-An Ex-
Senator's Son Takes u Wife-A Newspa-
per Man Married-Gossip of Society.
At o'clock last evening in the beautiful
home of Mr.. John R. Watson, on Perrysville
avenue. the wedding OF his daughter. Miss Net
tie, occurred. Mr. Harrison g. Spangler was
the fortunate young man who claimed the
lovely and accomplished young lady as his
bride. The ceremony which united the two was
very pretty and the tableau formed by
the bridal party an extremely artistic one. The
bride was clad in an exquisite creation of pure
white faiile silk, made in full reception style,
and carried large bouquet of white roses. Her
br1demaids, Misses Bessie Spangler and Lucy
Otis. were robed in delicate pink silk and car
ried pink roses. In entering the parlor the
bridemaids immediately preceded the bride and
groom and followed the four ushers, who we're
Messrs. Harry Watson, A. p. Stephenson Rob
ert Mclean. and William Netting Rev. W.
Richardson. pastor of the First Christian
Church OF Allegheny, ofIiciated. The bride is
tall and slender. blonde of prepossess-
ing looks and manner, well cal
culateu to grace the home of Mr.. Spangler who
is the son of Mr.. Ii. 4. Spancler, cashier of
the Third n ational Bank Of Allegheny. and
member OF the wholesale commission firm of
Beilstein. Reuter- & Co., of Sixth street.
delicious supper served by Kennedy was
wedding. Mr.. and Mrs. Spangler left on a
Cleveland train for brief jaunt among the
Western cities. They will reside Tor a short
time with the brides parents on their return,
but have housekeeping tendencies that will
materialize IN the early spring.

TERMS OF THE DISPATCH.
PITTsBURG, THURSDAY, NOV. q, 1890
THANKSGIVING.

Give thanks! 1t is to-day's keynote. None
is SO poor that be cannot give thanks,
none so rich that he will not feel better for
It. And it were well not to stop at hanks;
give of your substance to the needy,
give cheer to the sad, give a push
if you can to the cause Of charity
and goodness. and give a place
in your heart to the messenger of the Most
High. For at Thanksgiving time chance
comes to most of US to see plainly that the
world is very good, in spite of all the rough
places, the defeats and disappointments, the
election of the wron men and the survival
of the unfttest, in Our estimation. In this
region and day there are abundant
reasons for thanksgiving. 1t would
really be difficult thing for
Pittsburger to persuade himself
that industry, opportunity and peace have
not conspired to make prosperity a perma-
nent institution here. On any of the three
hundred and sixtv-four days OF the year we
would be justified in giving thanks, but lest
in the turmoil of toll we forget it, let US be
sure to make our Thanksgiving thorough
and real to-day.

by the civilized and progressive party
among the Indians the wilder Indians find
themselves cornered and are like wild ami
mails at bay, state which is apt to give rise
to delusions and desperate measures. Hence
has arisen the present delusion, which,
promising as it does, the confusion of all
civilized people and the survival of the ad-
vocates of the old Indian life, comes to the
wild Indians very opportunely, and has, to
an alarming degree, taken possession OF
their minds.
They gather together at points removed as
much as possible from observation and inter-
ference, and there, by harangues and songs
and dances, work themselves into a frenzy
of excitement, destroying the implements
and symbols of civilization and supplanting
them by relics of barbarism. The excite
ment is, however, confined to particular
locations, and in many parts of the Indian
country one hears less of it than he does in
Eastern cities.
1t would seem from the latest advices that
the Messiah craze is not gaining new con-
verts to any great extent. Time will reveal
the deception practiced by the ringleaders,
for the promised crisis will not come, and
meanwhile the Indians will have danced
themselves out. Their prophets have said
that the quaking of the earth and the COM
ing of the Messiah would occur at the next
new moon, and when their predictions are
not fulfilled the excitement will be allayed.

PLAYS TO COME.

THE largest advance sale of theater tickets
that has taken place in this city for num-
ber of years was that yesterday for
the Emma Juch Grand English Opera Com
pany's season at the new Duquesne Theater
next week. The sale occurred at Hays music
store, 70 Fifth avenue, where there was a con-
tinuous line of buyers from the time the sale
opened in the morning until it closed at night.
over 5000 worth of tickets were sold during
the day. The sale will continue to-day until II
o'clock noon and every day this week at the
same place from 8 A. NJ until P. NJ. Demand
for seats, although extraordinary, has not con-
sumed all the choice ones, as there still re-
mains plenty of desirable places for the open
ing night as well as the other opera nights.
OUT of the large number of opera companies
which will be seen in Pittsburg during the
present season but few have received the high
metropolitan Endorsement as has been the good
fortune of the William ]. Gilmore Opera Com
pany who will make their first appearance as
an opera organization in this city at the Bjou
Theater, Monday night next, when they will
present the new and successful romantic opera
comique, THE Sea King" which was given
during the summer at Palmer's Theater. New
York City. and was voted by the leading critics
as being the best of the three then being given
in that city.
CORA TANNER, who will be the attraction
next week at the Grand Opera House, is a
charmingly beautiful woman. She is an actress
of decided merit, possessing rare talents and
accomplishments. Her supporting company is
unusually strong, including Mr.. Edison Dixon,
Harold Russell, Owen Westford, George Ede-
son, Theodore Brown; Misses Ada Dwyer
Minnie Dupree and Virginia Buchanan. Miss
Tanners play, 1.-THE Refugees Daughter" has
been highly praised by the New, York press
1t is said to be full of touches of human nature
and powerful climaxes, frightened by
comedy situations.

THE BrNknERs RI-NKoEn.

The green goods" business has taken on
a new shape, and a profitable one for the
gentle hayseed who has hitherto had alto
gether the worst of the deal. In our news
columns TODAY will be found the last chap
ter in the story of two Alabamans who were
swindled by the bunko men year ago,
and have since had a curious expert
ence in wreaking vengeance on their
d .ceivers. 1t will be seen from the narra-
tive that the hayseeds in this case came out
ahead to the extent OF 81, 200 This sum
they took by force and arms from the
green goods" men, and the corporation
counsel of New York city has decided that
they have legal right to the spoils.
If the example Of the Alabamans is fol-
lowed to any extent by the rural gentry
who bite at the sinful but seductive
bait of the counterfeit money swindlers
the latter will be bankrupted and become in
a way worthy of our pity. The police will
be called upon to protect the moustachioed
bunkolst from his rural victims, and the
price of sawdust and green paper, to say
nothing of bricks and lead pipe, which the
honest farmer used to accept so gratefully in
exchange for hard cash, will fall away down.
In the years to come society for the pro-
lection of the green goods" men may ap.
peal to the phiianthropic among us, and the
bunko dealer may become a synonym ior
anyone that is oppressed and downtrodden.

GATHERING OF THE CLANS.
A Choir From Glasgow, Scotland, Furnish
an Evening of Melody.

A Choir From Glasgow, Scotland, Furnish
an Evening of Melody.
The clans assembled in force last evening at
Old City Hall. Every Scot and descendant of
Scot, even to the third generation, living in
this vicinity who could did attend the open
meeting of Clan Mcpherson No. SO, Order
of Scottish Clans. given under the direction of
w. II. Lambeth's celebrated Scotch choir, of
Glasgow.
Upon entering the historic room the first
thing noticed was that the members of the
Clan. from Chief John Mcdowell down to those
who did admirable service as ushers. were dec
GRATED with the plaid of the Clan Mcpherson
and wore the Highlander's cap and feather.
The programme furnished was one that re-
called memories of the land OF Bruce, Wallace
and Douglass. and at the same time contained
numbers such as The Star Spangled Banner
to point the moral that, while all present loved
Scottish song and story, they were Americans,
and that this was their country.
Chief McDowelps opening address was
thoughtful and excellent in its style and delv-
cry. While all the numbers on the programme
were well received and deserved the liberal ap-
plause bestowed, still the bass solo, 1.-The Viii
lage Blacksmith" by Vincent Graham, the con-
tralto solo, angus Macdonald" by Miss Mag
gle Bowie, the tenor solo, '.Macgregor's Gath
ering," by James Moir, the soprano solo, Gam
Ye by Athol,' by Miss Florence Lambeth and
the alto solo, "Jock, o. Hazeldean," in Scotch
by Miss Kate Sherry, certainly earned special
praise and mention, for they were superbly
rendered.

SENATOR HILL TWILL BE.

The Democrats OF New York State have
been talking of Governor Hill for the
United States Senate ever since it became
apparent that their party had control of the
Legislature, but until the last day or two
David Bennett Hill has been coy, excess
lively GOV, and clamlike. There has come a
change over his dreams, however, or
some new argument has swayed
his Judgment, for the announce
ment is almost officially made in his
behalf that he is perfectly willing to repre-
sent his State in the United States Senate
There is no secret that Governor Hill has
not hankered after the Senatorship because
it is traditional, if 60 more, that Presidential
candidates do net Ret good start from the
Senatorial chamber at Washington.
What inducement, what new consid-
Grafton, has converted Hill at this
juncmre is not revealed, but his can
didacy for the Senate is now declared and
as it has the unanimous Endorsement of the
Democratic party in the Legislature, at no
far day we shall have to call him Senator
Hill 1t is tolerably certain that New York s
new Senator will not search for the secluded
footprints of his predecessor. Senator Evarts
will take his modesty and his old hat with
him when he retires; neither would fit his
probable successor.

THE INDIAN CRAZE.

Bishop Hare, who has been in constant
correspondence with the Indian missionaries
of the Episcopal Church, and has himself
but lately returned from long sojourn on
the Sioux reservation, is inclined 10 believe
that the strange Messiah craze among the
Indians will be of brief duration, and, unless
some unhappy accident should precipitate
conflict, run its course aud pass away with
out bloodshed. According to Bishop Hare
educational and missionary work has been
advancing rapidly among the Indians of
South Dakota, and the whole Indian coun-
trv is dotted over with chapels and
school houses. The Indians have been so
well disposed that even women teachers
have been living without fear OF molestation
at remote and isolated points in the Indian
country with no neighbors but Indians.
The spread of civilization has alarmed the
heather party. Pressed on the one hand by
the advance OF the whites, and on the other

Narration of Her Central American Voyage
Since Last August.

NarratlOn Oh her central American voyage
Since Last August.
KEY WEST, November 26.-The Kearsarge,
count Of the strike among the Panama Rail-
road Company's employees, arrived here to-day.
Upon reaching Colon it was found that, by the
action of Colonel Rives, tho Superintendent of
the railway, the strike was over and no further
trouble apprehended. The ship thereupon left
for Greytown to inspect and report upon the
progress of the Nicaragua canal, upon Septem
ber p, and that night the fire broke out in
Colon that destroyed over one-half the town.
The Kearsarge was ordered to return and it
was not till Colon was reached that the reason
prevent any attempts at plunderng or burning
the remainder of the town, the ship was
anchored close to the wharves and q code of
signals was arranged with the United States
Consul by which the battalion could be called
ashore at any hour, day or night. The latter
part of October some 600 Colombian troops ar
rived from Cartagena, and there being no
further necessity for the presence of the man.
of-war, the kearsarge again went to Grey
town, where survey of the changes effected
in the harbor by the canal dredgers was made;
after which the ship returned to Colon and was
relieved on the 18th inst, by the Enterprise
and ordered to this port.
The ship will be refitted, an operation OF
which she is very much in need, the opportuni
ties for tarring down, painting and other incl
dental repairs having been very few since
leaving New York. Advantage will also be
taken of the facilities offered in Key West for
landing the companies and for firing at targets
with muskets and pistols
