President Cleveland Issues the Annual
Proclamation.

President Cleveland Issues the Annual
Proclamation.
WASHINGTON, NOV. 1.-The presi-
dent has issued the following procla-
nation:
BY the President of the United States
of America, Proclamation: The Amer
lean people should gratefully render
thanksgiving and praise to the SUI
preme Ruler of the universe who has
watched over them with kindness and
fostering care during the year that has
passed; they should also with humility
and faith supplicate the Father of all
mercies for continued blessings accord
ing to their needs, and they should by
deeds of charity seek the favor of the
Giver of every good and perfect gift.
Therefore l, Grover Cleveland, presi-
dent of the United States, do hereby
appoint and set apart Thursday, the
Goth day of November, instant, as a
day of thanksgiving and prayer, to be
kept and observed by all the people of
the land.
On that day let our ordinary work
and business be suspended and let us
meet in our accustomed places of wor-
ship and give thanks to Almighty God
for our preservation as a nation, for
our immunity from disease and pesti-
lence, for the harvests that have re-
warded our husbandry, for the renewal
of national prosperity, and for every
advance in virtue and intelligence that
has marked our growth as people.
And with our thanksgiving let us
pray that these blessings may be null
tiplied unto us, that our national con-
science may be quickened to better
recognition of the power and goodness
of God, and that in our national life
we may clearer see and closer follow
the path of Righteousness.
And in our places of worship and
praise, as well as in happy reunions of
kindred and friends on that day, let
us invoke divine approval by generous
ly remembering the poor and needy.
Surely He who has given us comfort
and plenty will look upon our relief of
the destitute and our ministrations of
charity as work of hearts truly CRATE
full and as proofs of the sincerity of
our Thanksgiving.
Witness my hand and seal of the
United States which L have caused to
be hereto affixed.
Done at the city OF Washington on
the first day of November, in the year
of our Lord eighteen hundred and
ninety-four, and of the independence
of the United States the one hundred
and nineteenth.
By the president,
GROVER CLEVELAND.

Prominent Men Organize . New Con.
struction Company.
New YORK, Nov. DIT has been am
nounced by people closely connected
with the Nicaragua canal that the
Nicaragua Canal Construction CO npany
has secured enough money to go ON
with the work. A bill has been, in
troduced in the state senate at Mont
pelier, to incorporate the Nicaragua
company for the purpose Of
building canal through Nicara-
qua and Costa Rica. Mr.. Weed,
who is the president of the
Nicaragua Canal Construction COM
pany, having succeeded ex-senator
Warner Miller, lives in Plattsburg, N.
Y, and the reason for the company
going to Montpelier for its charter
seems thus to be accounted for. Ac-
cording to the plans, as far as can be
learned, this new company will sue
coed the Nicaragua Canal Construction
company, which has been in process of
reorganization. Smith NJ Weed, who
has his Office in the coal exchange
building, said that he would probably
be able to make an announcement
about the company next week.

THE BUSINESS MANS LUNCH.


Concentrated thought, continued In. robs
the stomach Of necessary blood, and this Is
also true of hard physical labor.
When FIVE horsepower engine Is made
to do ten horsepower work something is
going to break. Very often the hard
worked man coming from the field or the
Office will "bolt " his food in a few min.
utes which viii take hours to digest. Then
too, many foods are about as useful in the
stomach as a keg Of nails would be in a
fire under a boiler. The ill-used stomach
refuses to do its work without the proper
stimulus which II gets from the blood and
nerves. The nerves are weak and ready
nourishment they require from the blood,
finally the ill-used brain Is morbidly wide
awake when the overworked man at.
tempts to find rest in bed.
The application of common sense in the
treatment of the stomach and the whole
system brings to the busy man the full en-.
joyment of life and healthy digestion when
he takes DR.. Pierce's Pleasant Pellets to
relieve a bilious stomach or after a too
hearty meal, and DR.. Pierce's Golden
Medical Discovery to purify, enrich and
vitalize the blood. The Pellets" are tiny
trated vegetable ingredients which relieve
the stomach Of all offending matters easily
and thoroughly. They need only be taken
for a short time to cure the biliousness,
constipation and slothfulness, or torpor, Of
the liver; then the Medical Discovery"
should be taken in teaspoonful doses to In
crease the blood and enrich 1t. II has a
peculiar effect upon the lining membranes
of the stomach and bowels, toning UP and
strengthening them for all time. Tho
whole system feels the effect Of the pure
blood coursing through the body and the
nerves are vitalized and strengthened, not
deadened, or put to sleep. as the so-called
celery compounds and nerve mixtures do
but refreshed and fed on the food they
need for health. If you suffer from indi.
gestion, dyspepsia, nervousness, and any
Of the ills which come from impure blood
and disordered stomach, you can cure
