THREE SQUARE MEALS.
Veterans Gorged Their Patriotic Ap-
petites to the Full.

If anyone thinks the veterans at the
Temporary Home on Missouri avenue let
Thanksgiving pass unnoticed they don't
know the patriotic and gastronomic ma
ture of the veterans. The day was crl.-
brated not merely by dinner such as most
citizens think sufficient to do honor to
the day. There were three regularly or
dained meals with the menu pla nned in ad-
vance for each.
The most OF the old fellows who find
lodging at the home are not burdened with
worldly goods. But they are citizens of
the world, men who have known the ups
and downs of life and who know how to
take hardship when 1T comes their way
or how to husband and expand whatever
luxury happens To lie their lot. Some of
them had once on time been men Of
means. Most of them look forward vet
with hope toward a quiet and comfortab BILE
old age to which they have earned the
right, If any have, BY hard campaigning
through the Peninsula and the Wilder
ness and by stiil harder work and wait
ing in the corridors OF the Capitol and the
Pension Office.
But none OF them let hope, however long
deferred, mar the pleasure Of their Thanks
giving feast. Their breakfast fare might
not sound luxurious to those who are
daily rampered with quail, rum omelets
and dainty sea food for their matin meal.
lbub tAt N'lftdHNs II titN iuu sometime
known better days, had likewise seen
worse.
Pork chops.
Fried potatoes. Bread and butter.
Crullers. Coffee.
This was the morning meal, the cards
being written, Somcw what laboriously. and
distributed at each plate. This might not
have gone with the guests at the \ rlington
or the Shorchan- But some of the old fcl-
who had eaten TbnuEspiyiuy ,iipn.r.

toasted their bacon in the crater at Peters
burg knew a good thing by comparison. A
bright fire burned in the Iatrofri stove and
the coffee was free from dead leaves and
pine needles, as We're the pork chops from
sand and cinders. They Rad eaten meals
that were otherwise, and they were con
tent. a-
Luncheon waslight- Only sand witches and
coffee; for the veterans did not have the
1ndia-rubber appetites ofyihcir campaign-
ing days, and could not afford to spoil
their dinner. This was the meal of the
day. And here is the card:

They mad heard the turkey gohbler tha, The
commissary found;
And they'd seen the corn ana 'taters fairly
starting from the ground,
AS they marched with Sherman through
Georgia.
But they yearned not at all for the days hat

For the leaking tents and blanket bed,
With dangers done they had naught to 10

And they fought their battles over anew.

BASEBALL NOTES.

The Cincinnati club has arranged with
the Montgomery, Ala, club for the re-
lease of Michael kahoe a catcher. He has
caught in Montgomery two seasons and is
pronounced all right.
Among the latest that Jimmy Manning
has secured for the Kansas City Ball Club
are Frank ConnaughtoD. who was with him
in '95, and Pitcher Goar, of the PittsburgS
last season Manning would like TO secure
McGann, OF the Bostons.
The personal attack of Jacob Stencil
on Manager Donovan, of the local ball
club, in a Cincinnati paper, is one of the
most ill-advised things that Stencil could
possibly have done. He cannot possibly
do Donovan any harm among intelligent
patrons of the game. While he is sure to
work injury on himself. Stencils charges
that Donovan is ''knocker' are as false
as they can possibly be. Probably there
never was member of the Pittsburg team

The writer knows this to be a fact. and il is
only bare Justice TO Manager Donovan to say
that he has never been a "knockcrr in
any sense of the word. This is abso-
lutely true. But, above all, .'Jakey''
Stencil should not attempt to point out

Al ii erford. Joe Cans and Jack Ward
Start for California.

Baltimore, Nov. 26.-Al Herford, Jack
Ward and Joe Cans left Camden Station
last night on the O'Clock train for San
Francisco After lots of dickering, the
management of the Occidental Club Of
that city persuaded Dal Hawkins to stand

agreed to do during the early part of the

recognized as one of the best 11o-pound

SAW SOME INSURGENTS.
Experience of Big FOur-Nfaster
Which Arrived Here Last Might.

The big four-masted schooner John 4.
Ames, Capt. Olsen, which arrived last
night with 800 tons of ice from the
kennebec River, for the Independent Ice
Company, had rather rough experience on
her passage down.
on the night of the 10th instant she ran
into violent storm off Cape Cod, and lost
her jib and mizzensail. The big mizzen-
gaff was snapped off straight around. like
a pipestem. She laid to until morning,
when the gale abated.
The Ames is one of the finest vessels
of her class afloat. She is $50 tons reg
lister, and carries crew of nine, all told.
The captains wife also accompanies him
Capt. Olsen claims to have witnessed
the first act of hostility inthe present Cuban
revolution. He says the AmeS was lying
at Manzanilla, Cuba, loading with sugar,
when band of a thousand insurgents ap-
peared ard cut all telegraph communica-
tions at the wharf where he was loading

Dwyer will let him have charge of the
horse all winter.
Campania and the rest of the Five Points
stable are trained by Jockey Bum. Look

John Cavanaugh's management of the
domains of the layers has been of a high
order. His task is no easy one, but he un-
derstands the Work thoroughly, and every
one is pleased.
McCannon, the apprentice who won on
on Ten Spot ON Tuesday, rode Rey del
Mar yesterday and got a fair showing
from that old sucker. With practice it
looks as if this boy would make a good
rider.
The Swain's two races look q little in
consistent. Some put the blame on Ballard,
who rode him whenhe was defeated; others
put t on the horse and the parties who con-
troll him. An explanation of the two races
would at least be interesting.
A horseman wants to buy Minnie Al
phonse for a brood mare, his offer being
$500 at any time, but the chances are she
will be permitted to show what she can
do as a three year-oId. She is a grand

racing her another year is well worth
trying.
