serious loss, may affect trade to some

THE PRESIDENTS THANKS
GIVING PROCLAMATION

AS there are number Of our read
ers who failed TO see the Presidents
Thanksgiving proclamation we give it
d place in our columns to day at their
special request. We did not publish
it when issued for tho reason that We
had already published tho one issued
by the Governor.
BY the President Of the United
States of America.
A PRoCLAMATIoN: It is very glad
incident Of the marvellous prosperity
which has crowned the year now draw
ing to close, that it's helpful and
reassuring touch has been felt by all
our people. 1t has been as wide as
our country and 30 special that every
home has felt it's comforting influence.
1t is too great to be the work of mans
and too particular to be the device OF
his mind. To God, the benoicent
and the all wise, who makes the la
bors Of men to be fruitful, redeems
their losses by His grace, and the
measure Of whose giving is as much
beyond thoughts of man as it is be-
You'd his deserts, the praise and graft
tude Of the people of this favored
nation are due.
Now therefore, I, Benz. Harrison,
President of the United States of
America, do hereby appoint Th ursday,
the 18th day of November, to be day
of thanksgiving to God for the boun-
tics of his Providence, for the peace
by which we are permitted to enjoy
them, and for the preservation of
those institutions of civil and reli-
gious liberty which he gave our fathers
the wisdom to devise and establish
us the course to preserve.
Among the appropriate observances
OF the day are rest from toll, worship
in the public congregation, the re-
newal of family ties about our Ameri-
can firesides, and thoughtful help
fulness to those who suffer lack Of the
body Or of the spirit.
In testimony whereof I have there
unto set my hand and caused the seal
OF the United States to be affixed.
Done at the city of Washington this
18th day of November, in the year of
our Lord, one thousand eight hundred
and ninety-one, and of the independ-
ence Of the United States the ono
hundred and sixteenth.

next year and that he will be able to throw as well as
ever 'lany Of his friends and some eminent physi-
clans do not believe that he Will ever get MS arm III
working shape again.
Ewing's forte In catching-in fact his most brill.
liant achievement-was in throwing TO the bases. He
seems TO catch and throw the ball all with one mo-
tion and people who have seen him catching the
rather deliberate delivery of Keefe can appreciate
Ewing's wonderful alertness. Keefe was always at
his best when Ewing behind the bat With
another catcher behind him, opposing players would
have little difficulty in stealing bases on Keefe but
Ewing's remarkable snap throws to the bases saved
Timothy many stolen bases and likewise many earned
runs.
Ewing, like great many other ball players, began
life in rather small way. Many years ago he was
driver of q brewery wagon In Cincinnati, and the
S15 week he made seemed at that time good deal
Of salary to him. Now he gets $4,000 year. He
was born at Pembleton, Ohio and is thrtytwo years
old lie stands five feet ten and onehalf inches in
height and weighs In perfect playing condition about
1877 pounds At present he weighs about 100 pounos'
while In the winter his season Of rest, his
weight increases to considerably 200 pounds. He
first began TO play ball with the Mohawk Browns OF
Cincinnati in 1878. Horace Phillips the dis
coverer of Buck Ewing. lie saw Ewing play In o
little game in Cincinnati and was attracted by his
work and signed him 10 play with the Rochester club
in 1880 The following he Joined the famous old
Troy club and remained with them till 1853, when he
came to New-York in company with Keefe, Welch,
Connor Gillespie, Caskins and other wellknown old
time players He has been here ever since.
Ewlngs glass arm has caused his friends great
deal OF worry. lie is too fine ball player to retire
as yet but his friends afraid he will never be able
TO catch with his old-time effectiveness. He Is an
ambitious player and will yet probably occupy some
other position on the team In his troublesome
shoulder does not get all right Some think that
Ewing is ambitious to follow In the footsteps of Adrian
C. Arson, Chicago's famous player-captain-manager
Ewing can do this by playing first base, where he
would have little throwing TO do. OF course such a
step would save the club great deal Of money, but
whether ii would be wise to get rid Of such men as
Mutrle and COnnor seems doubtful.
Ewing Is really better looking man than his pic

was generally considered to be the best all'ronnd

eclipsed that OF any other catcher in the world He
was remarkable behind the bat in every sense.
The records made by Keefe and Wech as pitchers are
largely due TO the wonderful catching Of Ewing.
