THANKSGIVING DAY.

hhtNN Nbu,
Weak with the weight OF years,
His trembling voice with gladncss
His dim eyes filled with tears.
To both the greatest pleasure
The year brings on its way
Is this, the glad home coming
Upon Thanksgiving day.
Once more the rooms re-echo
From kitchen, stairs and hall,
The sound Of old-time voices,
And merry dinner call;
While many sweet grandchildren,
With laughter light and gay,
Come pressing round the table,
This glad Thanksgiving day.
So come, We 0 n and daughters,
From restless city strife;
Come, ere you lose your relish
For the quiet joys of life;
Come back, ye rowing children,
From p~rairies far and wide,
Ana cluster round the hcarth-ston
once more at even tide,
Take up the song of childhood,
And sing IL DER again;
Forget that yc are matrons,
Or misunderstanding men.
And il your eyes grow misty,
Rejoice that it is so;
A heart sincerely tender
is the purcst one to know.
Remember, with your loved n c
LIES lamp doth feebly burn;
Your parents may not linger
TO greet a late return.
Forget them not, though patient,
Oh como now while you may
Praise God-rejoico together
on this Thanksgiving day.

Talking of patent medicines
you know the old prejudice.
And the doctors-some of
them are between you and us.
They would like you to think
that what's cured thousands
won't cure you. You'd be-
lieve in patent medicines if
they didn't profess to cure
e0eyything - and so, between
the experiments Of doctors,
and the experiments of patent
medicines hat are sold only
because there's money in the
"stuff," you lose faith in e0c1y-
thing.
And, you can't always tell
the prescription that cures by
what you read in the papers.
So, perhaps, there's no better
way to sell a remedy, than to
tell the truth about it, and
take the risk of its doing just
what it processes to do.
That's what the Worlds
Dlspcnsary Medical Associa-
ton, of Buffalo, N. Y, does
with
DR.. Pierce's
Golden Medical Discovery,
Favorite Prescription,
Pleasant Pellets, and
DIR. Sage's Catarrh Remedy.
If they don't do what their
makers say they'll do-you
get your money back.

LIFTING BY ARITHMETIC.
How an Engineer Found a stones Weight
by an Ingenious Calculation.

How an Engineer Found a stones Weight
by an Ingenious Calculation.
Civil engineers are mostly common
place people, but an odd stick OCCASION
ally turns up among them. One of the
oldest 1 ever met lives here in st. Louis.
He is an old man, thoroughly educated
in his business and a paragon of exact
ness, even for mathematician.
Not many months ago he was called.
to East ST. Louis to make a new survey
of an old line originally run by himself.
On the first survey he had driven GER
tain corner stake deep in the ground and
covered it up with large stone. When
he came to the spot he got spade and
cleaned the soil away from around the
stone, and then cleaned it off nicely
with some dry leaves, top and sides.
Next he took out his rule and made a
careful measurement of the stone, which
he used moment later on the basis of a
calculation to determine its weight.
When he saw the product his face
lighted up with joy, for the number of
pounds, ounces and drains represented
therein was within the limit of his lift
ing power. He made no attempt to lift
the stone as means of testing his abil-
ity to handle it, but relied on his ma
thematical knowledge to settle that
point for him. This is the only case
ever knew of where man demonstrated
his own lifting power by the use of
arithmetic.-St. Louis Globe-Democrat.
DIR. Julius Weissner has made the
discovery that linen rags were used in

The Boys Afforded a Select Audience N o
End of Fun Last Night.
The minstrel and vaudeville entertain
ment by the Jersey City Athletic Clubs
combination was a success artistically,
and those who were deferred by the storm
missed treat. 1t was not "bad house, I"
as a STACEY man would put it, but there
were a few rows of vacant seats that
should have been occupied.
The first part was the good old negro
minstrel features so popular quarter of
q century ago. George Herrick and John
M. Young on the tambo end reminded
one of the Eph Horn. while Lyle and
johnson. who ratified the bones, recalled
the active Dan Bryant. The jokes were
new and the club members were not
forgotten.
W. Hunter Brown, the interlocutor,
was as easy and natural as veteran
middle man. On his right the chairs
were occupied by w. H. H. Kase, E. A.
Olin, Alexander A. Ahrens, Charles Par

finale was 1.-THE Bowery Grenadiers, y in

Every event was encored, and the time
allotted for the minstrel part was just
doubled to meet the demands of the audi
ence. The features of the second part
were the limitations of the clever mimic.
John w. Young, who was twice encored,
and e. W. johnson. who gave Gaiety

SIZE PRAYED ALL NIGHT.
Singular Siege Of a Hobo
ken Judges office by
a Crazy Woman.

The court room loungers in Recorder
McDonough's court in Hoboken were
treated to strange and sad scene this
morning. A respectable, handsomely
attired woman kept up an incessant
prayer in incoherent words. Her blue
eyes rolled aimlessly about the room and
sent thrill of pity to every heart. The
woman was brought from Judge Rusch's
court Her name is Mary Olsen. She is
Swede and has lately been affected so
seriously by religion that her mind is un-
balanced.
Until two months ago she lived with
her husband, hard working machinist,
at No. 165 Adams street. The couple had
one child. One night her husband came
home and was surprised to see his wife
on her kneers earnestly praying. He
touched her on the shoulder and asked
her to rise from her kneeling posture,
and she grew wild and denounced him as
an imp of Satan and ordered him from
the house He attempted to pacify her,
but his attempts were fruitless and he
was driven from the house.
1t appears from the husbands story
that he was afraid of her, and hired
furnished room elsewhere. Last night
Just as William Taylor, the clerk in
Judge Rusch's court, was about to close
the Office for the night the woman en-
tered and asked to see the Judge, The
clerk informed her that the Judge had
gone home. The woman then fell on her
knees and commenced praving. Taylor
grew scared, but plucked up courage
enough to ask the woman to vacate the
Office. She would not bulge.
Taylor was afraid to let her alone in the
office all night, as she might set fire to
the place, and prepared himself for long
siege. He made cot of two chairs and
kept constant vigil on the demented
woman all night The woman prayed all
night. This morning when the Judge
arrived at his Office strange scene pre-
sented itself.

Judge was acquainted with the situation

woman was taken to the police station

Jail to be examined as to her sanity

AGAINST ELLIS ISLAND.
The Board of Trades Protest Against
Coming Explosion.

The Board of Trades Protest Against .
Coming Explosion.
Senator Mcpherson has presented to
the Senate at Washington the memorial
of the Jersey City Board of Trade against
the continuance of Ellis Island, off the
Communipaw front, as a national powder
magazine. Hundreds of tn ousands of
pounds of powder are stored t here by the
Federal authorities.
The memorial says
Over the railways nearest to the maga-
zine thousands of people pass and repass
daily; in the channel of New
York Bay, not very far distant from
the magazine, pass the ships carrying
ing on the entire commerce of New York
city, and an immense number of ferry
and other boats engaged in local traffic
are moving at all times, day and night.
'sIt will be easily perceived that should
an accident happen by ignition OF the
powder deposited in this magazine what
widespread destruction and ire
parable injury would ensue. To say
nothing of the immense loss of life and
property which would follow, the de-
struction of the Statue of Liberty would
be inevitable, and the loss of life on yes
sells in the harbor would be difficult to
estimate.
There can be no question that Brook
lyn and New York would be seriously
affected, but the greatest injury would,
be done to Jersey City and the shores of
Hudson county adjacent to the maga
zine"
A man indicating the location of the
magazine, which shows its dangerous
proximity to Jersey City and large prop
erty interest, accomL anles the petition.

account of the short and insufficient

FIGHTING THE FIRE BOARD.

Dismissed Employees of the Department
Sue Out Certiorari.
Testimony in the certiorari case OF
Charles II. Milliken and Joseph Duke
against the Mayor and Aldermen of Jer-
sey City was taken before Commissioner
Isaac Romaine yesterday.
Milliken was stableman at Fire Head
quarters and his position was abolished
by the Board. Duke was foreman of
Engine Company No. and was dismissed
for disorderly conduct The former
claims that the Board exceeded its au-
thority in abolishing his position, and
Duke claims that the charges against
him were not proven and that his dis
missal was unjust.
Clerk Esterbrook produced the records
of the Board and testified to the proceed
ings connected with the trial of Duke and
the dismissal of Milliken.
The examination was continued this
morning. Duke testified that he had not
sufficient opportunity upon the trial to
produce his witnesses although he did
not ask for an adjournment.
President Conway, of the Fire Board,
testified to the trial and conviction OF
Duke
