Be THANKFUL, EVERYBODY.
The Day for Gratitude Has Come
Around Again to Us.
Good Chance Tor All to Stop and Ihint
Awhile.

US; and it finds the people of this
of mind that is thankfully hopeful. and
nightly well pleased with the cOndi-
tions generally. The recent months
have taught a great many people a
great many things about this coun-
try that they did not know before, and
are not liable to forget.
ii With prosperity promised. and con-
fidence that things that now are about
as they should be. no wonder we are
thankful.
But as individuals. that is quite an
l other matter Such is life that every
n man has troubles of his own. There is
no telling him he hasn't, for he won't
believe that. In most cases. these
| troubles, to hear the troubled one tell
it, are clear away and beyond anything
the trouble is on their minds. they are
in an unhappy way, and it certainly is
too bad.
So it happens that they often omit
being thankful. They simply omit it.
They don't mean to, and deliberately
set out to be ingrates. But their sor-
rows drown their joys. and they for
get to remember the good they are get
ting.
ic w hof nLC
out and not in, has a lead. If one is
well, he thanks God that he is well. If
he is sick, he is thankful that he is no
sicker, and if he is truly thankful his
heart goes out to some one evidently
less fortunate than he. and what he
can, he does, to boost his neighbor up
a peg or two.
Well is it, then, that for us there is
a day set apart, with name attached
so significant that there is no mistak-
ing it. Grumble day in. day out, if
you must but for one day in the year.
pull yourself together, and make the
best of things. 1t doesn't hurt, they
say, and some might well try it once to
see what it is like, if for no better rea-
on.
II 1t is fact, an undeniable and pitt
full fact that many have come to look
upon Thanksgiving day with consider
able displeasure. They call it sober,
gloomy, grey, and dread the ordeal of
what they call being too serious. If
the day be cloudy, they make the most
of it and spend nine-tenths of the time
| thinking about it,and the other in talk
/, ing about it to any who may be so
unfortunate as to be in their presence.
| Right here is the case of the perfect
nonsense of the day, as far as these
| are concerned. Thanksgiving day in
deed. For want Of something better
they kick against the poor helpess
weather.
1t is not impossible to be thankful,
and likewise cheerful. That is some
thing like gratitude; joy and apprecia-
| ton of the best. not the worst.
The custom of one day for giving
thanks is an old one. With it is asso-
ciated the pleasant reunions Of family
and of those dear to one another, who
from life's circumstances are COM
PEELED for the most part to be separ-
ated. One doesn't have to go far to
find something to be thankful, in that
they may join together and just ap
preciate the fact that they are living.

Major G. A. Angel Post, No. 90, which
had charge Of the Memorial services here,
sent out details in the morning to Rose
mont, Dunkard Church and Sandy Ridge
cemeteries, where the graves of thirty
one comrades were strewn with flowers
and flag placed on each grave. At the
Rock Church and Mount Airy cemeteries
thhteen graves were decorated. In New
Hope and vicinity twenty-six graves were
strewn, and at Riverview cemetery, sew
entecn graves were decorated.
In the afternoon, the main services
were held at Mount Hope cemetery In this
city. Although the shower somewhat
dampened the occasion, making the line
late in forming, yet at about O'Clock the
line was formed in the following order /:
Pioneers,
Liberty Cornet Band,
Marshal Harry S. Kroesen,
Major G. A. Angel Post, No. 90.
Wagon with flowers,
Carriages with clergy and invited
guests.
The line proceeded 10 the cemetery,
when Marshal Kroesen called the assem-
blage to order, and the following exer-
cises were gone through with;
Music by the Band prayer by Rev.
Mr.. Weatherby, of the NJ. Il. church !;
music Grafton by comrade DR.. Young

proceeded to strew flowers on the graves
OF eighty-two comrades in Mount Hope
and twenty-six in st. Johns Cemetery,
the Band playing dirge-a flag having
been previously placed on each grave in
the forenoon by detail for that purpose.
When the graves of all comrades were
strewn, taps were sounded, when the line
marched out of the cemetery and short
street parade was made TO Post head
quarters where is was dismissed. Thus
1t will be seen that the Post during the
day strewed with flowers the graves of
one hundred and ninety.five comrades,
and these flowers are the loving links con-
Meeting the present with the past-the liv-
ing with the glorious dead.
Tho address OF DR.. Younglove, on the
above occasion, was an excellent, scholar
ly and thoughtful one--too much SO for an
outdoor audience. 1t is to be regretted
that 1t could not have been delivered in a
hall, where it could have been listened 10
more attentively. The doctor, at the
close, OF his address, exhibited some relics
Of the war which excited considerable
interest.

BASE BALL,

The Lambcrtvile Club scored another
well earned victory On Saturday last by
defeating the strong Manayunk club by q
score of to 2, In an exciting but rather
loosely played game on both sides. Fox
and Phillips did great work in the POINTS
and Vaughn put up good game al
short. Eddie Sisk very kindly tried 10
help out by playing third base. At second
base Sisk puts up the best game ever seen
in this town, but he don't pretend to play
third, and he says he don't. Third base.
men are very scarce this season, but the
management are on hunt, and will land
one before long. Mcdonald put up his
usual all.round game, and Bray had noh.
ing to do in tho field Sisk, Mcdonald,
Bray, Vaughn and Hnrd led in the bat
ting.
The visiting club pleased everybody by
their hard work and universally gentle
manly conduct, and will receive warm
welcome whenever they play here.
The Cuban Giants, with Joby Trusty,
will be here on Friday, and large crowd
should turn out to this game.
The management are giving the public
better ball than can be seen elsewhere
outside OF the league cities, and deserve
a correspondingly liberal patronage.
A strong team will be placed in the field
on Friday and our account with the Gu
ban Giants squared. Turn out every
body and encourage the boys.

| ABOUT IL D CLOCK last SATURDAY ulSu'
a fight between five or six men, began in
Malonc's drinking place on Franklin
street. The men were forced out and
the fight was continued on the street.
The whole neighborhood was alarmed
and The cries of ''murder" and "poice"
were heard Bricks were thrown and one
man was badly beaten with club. Geo.
w. Trauger, who lives near by, went out 10
see what was the matter and was struck
by brick which cut his clothing, but for
tunately dil not seriously injure him.
When the police appeared the men took
to their heels and escaped arrest.
We understand that nice little game
has been played 10 shield some Of these
men from proper punishment. A crony
entered complaint before First Ward
justice, the offender appeared voluntarily
and was fined one dollar The First
Ward justice and all others Interested
might as we'll understand, first as last,
that that kind of legal proceedings won't
answer. Men who get drunk, throw
bricks and use clubs on each other, are
simply encouraged by such a travesty on
justice as fine of one dollar.
1t is not the purpose of the office OF
justice of the peace to condone crime but
to punish it. He is sworn to enforce the
laws-not to thwart their enforcement.

Nicholas Weber, of this city, who
attempted suicide here few days ago,
was taken TO some relatives in New
Brunswick recently, in hope that a change
would improve him. But we are sorry
to report that he committed suicide in
that city, by shooting himself with pis-
toll. A despatch says that he disappeared
on Friday last, was found yesterday
morning under pile of lumber on Fish
er's dock, right in the heart of the city.
A pistol was clutched in his right hand and
half his head was blown away. lie had
evidently committed suicide by putting
the muzzle of the pistol to his mouth.
Two chambers were discharged. On Fri
day morning he pleaded to be allowed to
take little walk. lie was finally per-
mitted TO go, and since then had been
missing until couple OF boys found his
body.
Mr.. Weber had been an employee of the
Lamberlvillc Rubber Go. for years. Re
Gently he had been sick for some months
and his mind became affected.

The doctor may be good old man,
but even so, medical examinations and
the "local application" treatment are alb
horrent to every modest woman. They
are embarrassing often useless. They
should not be submitted TO until every
thing else has been tried. In nine cases
out of ten, there is no reason for them.
In nine cases out OF ten, the doctor in
general practice isn't competent to treat
female diseases. They make branch of
medicine by themselves. They are dis
tinct from other ailments. They can be
properly understood and treated only by
one who has had years OF actual practice
and experience in this particular line.

There are people who think that
daily paper would pay in Lambertvillle.
They are those who with few exceptions
rarely patronize their weekly paper and
who don't have the least knowledge of
the expense attending the issue of a
paper, either weekly or daily. The ex-
pertinent of publishing daily has recent
ly been tried ia Dover, in this State, I'M
der favorable circumstances, and has fail
ed. Dailies published in towns under ten
thousand inhabitants located near the large
cities cannot compete with the city dailies
that arrive on early trains. There is not
enough local news occurring daily TO give
interest to the paper, and If there were, there
is not enough local advertising patronage to
make it pay, and daily paper cannot ex-
ist without this.

last Saturday night, about nine o.
clock, quarrel occurred between two
Italians living at the "Hookn in this city,
which resulted 10 the siabbing of one OF
them in the right side just back of the
kidneys. He is in dangerous condition
but it is believed he will recover. The
name of the man who did the stabbing,
as near as can be ascertained, is Leonardo
Montecalvo. He disappeared before he
could be arrested and has not since been
seen or heard Of. The given name OF the
man stabbed is ANGEL Antonio, but his
surname could not be ascertaned. Wits
key, it ia said, was at the bottom of the
affair.
There seems to have been an utter in
difference as TO the arrest OF the offender
in this instance. We cannot find that our
authorities have made any effort what
ever to capture this criminal. No better
way could be devised to encourage law
lessncss on the part Of Ignorant foreigners.

The salary of the captain general of
Cuba is $50, 900, as large as that of the
president Of the United States. He has
as much more for household and State
expenses. All this has to be wrung out
of Cuba, country with population
about half as large as that of the State
of Ohio. Besides paying this extortion-
ate price for the luxury of having resi-
dent captain general, the island must
bear large share of the expenses Of the
royal family at Madrid. Is it any won
der that Cuba has rebelled
