THE DAY OF GREAT DINNERS
1t Has Also Become a Day for Bounti-
full Giving by the Charitable.
How Thanksgiving Is TO Be Celebrated-Tur-
key and q General Coed Time at the Be.
nevolent Northumberland Services.

Of late years Thanksgiving day has be-
come one OF which charitably inclined peo-
pie take occasion to dispense their bounty
to the worthy poor and this increasing Gus
tom has had the result of adding Joy and
~gladness to the lives of many upon whom
the sunlight of happiness rarely shines.
Charity seems to be taking deeper root in
the hearts of the people every day the
world grows older and not a single space of
twenty-four hours goes by but that, in
some part of this great world. some grand
institution rises ND dedicated to charity
and having for its emblem the love and
care of the poor and unfortunate classes.
This spirit of good fellowship is not con-
fined to any one class or 10 any one people.
but reaches out and makes happier the
young and the old, the unfortunate and
the afflicted.
In Indianapolis there are many of these
institutions, and their benefactions have
called forth the blessings of thousands
whose lives have been made more pleasant.
To-day, In this city. the charitable bounty
of q people who are too often called cold
and unfeellng is being dispensed with q
lavish hand without Ostentation. and hum
dreds of orphans and those born to a herlt-
age of poverty Will be we'll fed INT well
clothed, and made to feel that life Is still
worth the living.
Thanksgiving day is also one of quiet
home dinners. and a day on which every
person. If he has a family and q fireside,
wants to be there. Elaborate preparations
are begun days ahead by the good house
wife. and she receives full payment for her
work In knowing that the result of her eft
forts In the culinary line are appreciated.
Thanksgiving day is prominently one TO
be looked forward to by the country editor
with eyes of longing anticipation, and q
stOmach hat is not far behind in going IN
der the wire; and O day to be looked back
upon with a deep regret akiI. to misery over
q treasure hat is lost. 1t is the one day in
the year when this pr0verbially hungry
man casts thoughts of the morrow to the
four winds of heaven, and with an appe-
tite undismayed by the deep bass murmur-
ing of the wolf at the door. unrestrainedly
partakes of the good things of earth.
On this day he is we'll provided
for, at least, because subscribers for once
desist in overwhelming him with wood
that lacks O good deal of being a cord,
aud fill his larder with turkeys and the
other parapherDalia of a Thanksgiving
dinner. Then. out of the fullness OF his
sympathetic soul. he invites in all of his
friends and proceeds to illustrate to them
what a benefactor he would be to poverty
stricken humanity every day in the year
if he only had the turkeys.
In this city his morning the usual
Thanksgiving services will be held at the
various churches. and in some cases union
services will be held.

tiatory step Of the Auxustana Col
Iege Associat ION.

An immense Und -rtaking-The Ini-
tiatory step of the Auxustnna Col
Iege Associat ION.
The Herculean task of building up an
educational center here by the raising of
Augustana college to the rank and scbpe
of a university is going forward in earn
est. 1t is not mere talk by any means.
The University association is conunu-
ally absorbing new strength and new
enthusiasm. The success of the univer-
sity scheme interests not only one but all
three of the tri.cities-not only the
Swedish,Americsps but people of all ma
tionalities who believe in higher educa-
ton TO. their own and others children
and at the same time are interested heart
and soul In making this great city. not
only great in population, but great in ed
ucational attachments, which is more
desirable than mere area, numbers
or dollars aud cents. The
first step to be taken is the
erection of magnificent building for a
university auditorium with q seating ca
pa city of at least 5000. This structure
will be followed by several such as the
law school. the medical school, the
school of philosophy. and others. The
cost of these buildings will range from
S25 900 to 100000
The soliciting committee, of which G
T. Lovegran is the chairman. is doiog
excellent work, though it has but just
begun, you might say. The wealthiest
of our citizens will be given an Cppor-
tunity to take shares in the association
first and it is desired that all of our
moneyed men will help cause that is
entirely worthy of their aid, not only f, r
the direct aid itself, but for help
it will be in enabling the
association to secure outside support.
II is the well matured plan of the movers
in the enterprise to make a general can
vas of the entire western country and for
this reason it is very important that the
citizens of Moline, Davenport and Rock
Island should show their confid euce in
the enterprise by liberal subscription of
stock.
1t is proposed when the college re-
opens on September to present each
student who has joined the University
association with souvenir membership
certificates which are now being engraved
and printed. This will be made the oc-
casion for appropriate ceremonies.
The immense auditorium will afford a
splendid opportunity for the bringing of
the most noted lecturers of the country
each year, and model the course some
what after the plan of the school at

FARO BANKS RAIDED

Tho bad Luck of u Columbus Firm tim,
Lately opened Business Hero.
For n few days past there has been
talk OF the plenomenally bad luck
which had hciallen n firm OF faro bank.
crs, said 10 be Lawrence & Co., OF Col
umbus, O., which opened 4 bank over
Sullivan's saloon, on Market street, this
week or late last. This same firm is
said to have started q bank here Il few
years ago, and after running Il week or
two quit $1,000 or $1,000 loser. There
has been n superstitious belief for years
that strangers never made money on
faro in Wheeling, and the present cx-
pcricnce OF Lawrence & Co. seems TO
give strength to that belief. The first
night they were in operation one man
won over $500 OF their money. lie
went back tho next night and lost
that sum and all the other money
he had with him. Then he went
out and borrowed $40, came back and
played till i late hour, quitting SEQ
ahead OF the game. A well known sport
is credited with having carried ont II
cool thousand OF the FIRMS money on
another recent night. and others have
won from 500 to $1,000, ii the current
reports are reliable. 1t is hard to say
that they are, but it is certainly true
that the firm las been Il heavy loser
ever since opening in Wheeling. 1t is
said to be 4 rich concern, however, and
o have as much nerve rs money. Last
night the police swooped down on the
place, and arrested the dealer and six
players. OF the players, only one had
the money to put up 10 cover the fine.
This looks rs ii the luck had turned.
Shortly after the police visited the
faro bank OF Tom Halpin, on Market
street above Twelfth. Here the dealer
and four PLAYERS were arrested. At the
other room the dealer gave his name as
Martin.

Representative IIcinieln, of belmont
County, After Mature Deiibpratlon, VIII
Noto for John sherman.
Yesterday al lSrELLlGENcER reporter
met Rcpresentativc.clcct J.. G. lleinlein
in Bridgeport and asked him his view
OF tho senatorial situation, particularly
what his own attitude would he in the
contest.
II can perhaps best answer tho sec
ond part OF your question FIRST" re-
Piled Mr.. llcinlcin, "and before | do so
will say that tho matter has given me
great deal OF solicitudc. Before my
election | declined to say what course /
would pursue with regard TO the scna-
torship, except that l would cndcayor
10 ascertain and reflect tho views OF the
Republicans OF Belmont county. This
promise | did not hesitate to make. be-
cause it accords with my theory OF the
right conduct OF Il representative OF the
people. L have Il friendly feeling for
cx-Govcrnor Foraker and for Sen.
ator Sherman, so that my de-
cision may truthiully DO said to
have been reached without personal
bias. After hearing all that las been
said Oh tho subject and giving respect
iul hearing to all I have heard, | have
concluded that it is my duty to support
Senator Sherman. This because l am
convinced that it is the desire OF the
very large majority OF the Republicans
OF my county. With tho majority oil
the Republicans OF my county | expect
to see Senator Sherman reelected, be-
cause the Republicans OF Ohio appre.
ciate his long and faithful service and
are unwilling TO lay him aside so long
as he is able to serve them, his state
md his country as efficiently as he has
in the past.n
