OUT AT SEA-.
The Precedent Takes a Jaunt
on this Pacific Coast.

SAN FRANCISCO, April 2s.-[SpecialI--
The morning Of President Harrison's
marine excursion opened with fog en-
yeloping the shores of tho bay, but as
the afternoon wore on the fog lifted and
left the harbor sparkling in the sunlight.
Along the wator front numerous de-
corations, which had boon placed on the
houses and shipping on tho day of the
Presidents arrival, were re-touched and
augmented and many vessels, not pro-
viously decorated, had strings or flags
fiuttering in the wind. The yacht clubs
OF San Francisco, Sancelito, Tiburen
and neighboring towns had also decked
their boat houses and vessels, which did
much to enliven the scene in the vicin-
ity CT the Golden Gate.
Outin the stream the cruiser Charles
ton was resplendent in her new dress,
and was one of the most conspicuous of
the objects in the way. The City Of
Pueblo, steamship, which was 10 carry
the party on an excursion to the Hay
ten Republica, and other large vessels,
were also decorated from stem to stern.
The steamers Ukiah and Garden City,
and numerous small crafts which piled
tho bay, were crowded with people SO
that at the hour of the Presidents en-
barkment over 10000 persons had left
tho shore to accompany him on his trip.
At 1880 o'clock the Pueblo steamed out
into the bay from broadway wharf and
was soon followed by the warship Char
lesion and revenue cutters Rush and
Corwins with custom house and other
officers.
AS the Pueblo passed those vessels,
which had formed in line about three
hundred yards apart, salute was fired
a d q band, which had been stationed
on the Pueblo, played patriotic airs.
After the Government vessels had
svuDg into line other steamers and
C at conveying unoili .ial excursion ,ts
IN .do haste to follow. The pageant
from the marine point of Wow had
never been eXcelled on the bay OF San
Francisco.
TIE route followed by the Pueblo ex-
tended from broadway wharf along the
northwest line of the city front to Fort
Point, thence west to Whistling buoy
ten miles out TO sea, stopping to view
tho forts and military sights. which
greeted the President with salute of
; cannon us the vessels passed.

such an extent has it been abused that

century it served TO designate an imag-
mary region Astounding in gold and
precious stones in the interior of South
America; but prior to this acceptation
IL had become a synonym for the most
remarkable legend of the new world,
the supposed eastern proximity of which
invested its unexplored territory with
the glamour of oriental romance. The
term was, indeed, an appellation of

During the revolution Thanksgiving
day was held by most of the states
every year. but after a general thanks
giving for peace in 1854 five years
elapsed until President Washington
proclaimed day Of thanksgiving for
the adoption of the constitution. At odd
times during the following years gen.
eral thanksgivings were ordered. but
it was chiefly confined To the states Of
New England The Episcopal Prayer
book Of 1889 recommended a Thanks
giving day. and the churches usually
held such services about the first of
Novem Der in all the states. The gov
ernor of New York ordered the first
Thanksgiving for the state in 1917, and
in 1864 President Lincoln by proclams-
ton appointed an annual Thanksgiv-
ing day. The last Thursday in Novem-
Der Is generally appoirte', and after
the president has made the proclama-
ton. the governors of the various
states follow in his steEs- auf il has
come to be one of the general holidays
of the country.
In the New England states = is gen.
orally the day for family gatherings
Turkey and cranberries and pumpkin
pie are the viands always eaten by
everybody, and foreigners are sur
prised at the widespread custom which
is generally observed. Everyone has
something to be thankful for. and in
all institutions and large cities turkeys
are distributed, so that the celebration
may be one grand hymn of tAanksgiv.

quite strong enough and it is much
more easily handled than a larger rope.
There are SO many times and places
on farm when rope and pulleys save
time, that think it a good investment
to own them, even if we have no tim
Der to grub. In getting heavy logs and
rocks out of the way, and in moving
small or even large buildings, the

A TIMELY CHAPTER ON FURS.
Hints as to the Popular Wraps for the
Approaching cool Weather.

Approaching Cool Weather.
Now that the air has such a decided
chill in it the subject of furs will doubt
less receive serious consideration. The
following hints may be of service TO
some purchasers. Boas will certainly
be as much worn if not more this year
than last, and the three-quarter fur
cape is a mode resuscitated from some
fifty years ago. They fall well below
the waist and are rather high on the
shoulders. Those who can not afford
sable are glad of mink. Fur muffs are
to be large. Capes of every kind and
shape. from the extremely ugly to the
exceedingly becoming, are worn by
women. The most stylish-looking reach
to the knees, and are perfectly plain,
with neither folds nor yoke. They
have, however, well-cut and gayly-lined
hoods behind. and are usually fastened
in front with straps of the cloth. Two
noticeable capes have been worn lately
One double breasted and bound with
leather. and the other of bright milf
tary scarlet, with yoke covered with
true lovers knots in silver. The newest
cape is lined and trimmed with fur. and
very coy and comfortable it is at the
spa on cool evenings Long cloaks,
too, are already beginning to look
seasonable. Many of them are made
as sort of ulster, with a large cape
which does not seem to be detachable.
One of the newest of these was of
cloth. with narrow lines of rich Grim
son forming a check on a dark-blue
ground; the cloak was worn open in
front, and disclosed a handsome lining
of crimson satin.-The Queen.
