SEASON.
Secretary HutChins Tells What
Has Been Done in That Line
This Year.

The churches of st. Paul will to-
morrow observe the day set apart
by law and custom as a propitious
season for returning thanks for past
Sratitudes by special song services
and appropriate sermons. Returning
prosperity, after the recent financial
depression and its attendant suffer
ings, has made manifest among the
churches in particular desire to
observe the season in its fullest
meaning. Being pre-eminently day
fer family gatherings, many of the
church organizations have made az
rangements for joint services, sup
plementcd by extensive and appro-
pirate musical programmes. The
Episcopalians will in nearly every
instance hold services in their edi-
fees. and in most of them extra
musical numbers will be rendered
by the choirs. Probably the most
elaborate song service will be given
at Christ church, where the vested
choir Of fifty voices will render the
following numbers:
Professional hymn, Come Ye
Thankful People, Come;" litany
hymn, Savior, When in Dust to
Thee" hymn, ITO Thee, o Lord, Our
Hearts We Raise" offertory anthem,
''Ye Shall Go Out With JOY" J. Barn
by: sanctus, Wesley; communion
hymn, Bread of the World" Gloria
in Excelsis," Old Chant; recessional
hymn, Praise to God Immortal
Praise"
Rev. Andrews, the rector, will cele-
brate holy communion and deliver
Thanksgiving sermon.
st. Paurs, ST. Clements and ST.
Johns churches have also made par
ticular efforts for fitting observance
of the day. and the choirs will present
programmes OF unusual beauty and
solemnity. ..-

from VIII celebrate solemn high mass

dilion 10 several solo numbers.

All the Congregational congregations
will unite in a special Thanksgiving
service at the Plymouth church at II
o'clock. In place of the ordinary ser
mon the different pastors will discuss
briefly, Our Pilgrim Blessings, Past
and Present. Here, as in the other
churches, particular attention has been
given TO the music for the occasion,
and the several choirs will lend their
best voices to assist in a programme
of choice selections.
On the West side joint service, par
ticipated in by the Clinton Avenue
Methodist, Hebron Baptist and West
| minister Presbyterian churches, will
be held at the Clinton Avenue edifice
at 1876 a. n. Rev. George C. Gam
bic will discourse upon a Thanksgiv-

ant denominations in that portion of
the city. Rev. c. c. Martin will preach
the sermon OF the morning, the consol-
idated choirs furnishing the music.
The Burr Street Baptist and the
Grace Methodist congregations will
unite at the Burr street church and
listen to a sermon by Rev. George L.
Conley.
The following musical numbers will
be rendered by the House of Hope
choir at the special morning service
when DR.. Egbert will preach upon the
topic, I'VE Look for a New Heaven
and a New Earth
There was some controversy over this
y,
remarked: well, what did he pre-
scribe it for then?"
Mr.. Thompson took strong exceptions
to this pointed question on the part of
the court, and Judge Egan thereupon
instructed the reporter to make it a
matter of record that the court knew
nothing about the properties of the
medicine in question.
DR.. William II. Sig1er, who attended
Clara Bergh during the first part Of her
illness, testified to having attended her
at the Globe hotel on June IS, when a
child was prematurely born.
Mr.. Thompson here remarked that in
aSmuch as it was almost 5 o'clock and
it would take him about day to cross
examine DR.. Sigler, he would like to
have the court adjourn, and begin the
cross-eXamination the first thing in the
morning. The request was granted
and court adjourned.
The Relief society will, as usual do
much towards making Thanksgiving a
holiday worthy Of its name among the
less fortunate families of the city But
the contributions that will pass through
the society's hands are made eXclu-
siVely by the children of the public
schools. This practical plan of devel-
oping the children's humanity and SYM
pathy was inaugurated but few years
ago 1t has been entered into with I'M
expected zest on the part of the pupils,
| and their contributions, especially since
the panic of 1898, have made Thanks
giving day of welcome abundance
among the distressed families of St.
| Paul.
So general and so generous has been
the response of the public schools on
| this day that the work has been monop-
| olized by them to the exclusion of all
churches, Sunday schools, Or charitable
associations. The only cooperation
| proffered by the churches will be in tha
nature of a Thanksgiving Offering to
| be made tomorrow by almost every
| congregation. This Offering will be
handed over to the relief society
The number of families which will
| be remembered today is slightly less
