EFFECT OF WEATHER.
Many People Were Unable to Get
Out to Church Yesterday.

The Indictment weather made the attend
ance at the churches unusually meager. 1t
was almost impossible to get from the homes
to the places of worship, and it was remark
able that so many attended divine worship
in the face of the difficulties. There had
been extra preparation in the way of union
of congregations and special programmes,
and 1t was unfortunate that anything should
have prevented the enjoyment.
Pretty little st. Andrews held services at
10 o'clock with special music provided, Rev.
William Wilkinson preaching the sermon of
the day.
At St Paul's, Rev. F. T. Webb preached
upon 1.-The Spirit of Thanksgiving" to his
congregation.
Rev William Kincaid at Andrew Presby-
terrain, took for his text, How to be Thank

The Franklin NJ. f. church held union
services, in which the Thirteenth Avenue
Methodist, Christian, Park Avenue Congre-
gational, First Presbyterian and Central Bap-

QUIET THANKSGIVING DAY.
Weather Aided I'm Making Citizens
Thankful to Stay Indoors.

The order of the governor of the state, to
the effect that all business be suspended and
the people collect in their several homes and
places of worship in remembrance OF the
good things which the past year has brought
to them, was obeyed in Minneapolis. The
business houses Of the city were closed
as tight as drum, and no attempt was made
to do any work. The large stores, with their
thousands of clerks, shut up, that their en-
ployes might enjoy the day in comfort with
their families and friends, and the govern
ment Offices were closed. There no mail
delivery, except a single delivery in the
business district of the CITY, and consequently
Uncle Sans boys had a well-earned day OF
rest and enjoyment.
Outside the theaters, the best entertainment
the most literally patroniZed and best en-
1oyed, was one given at the Young Men s
Christian association. The spacious building
at Tenth street and Mary place was thrown
open during the evening to a joint reception
to young ladies we'll as gentlemen, and
the number that responded was large. Early
in the evening the lower rooms of the build
ing were occupied by visitors. old as well as
young, and shortly after o'clock a literary
programme was given in the reading rooms
of the building. The programme consisted
of music and readings, and was a very cred
liable entertainment The programme over,
the visitors made rush for the galleries
of the gymnasium, where it had been an
nounced there was to be a hot game of basket
ball. The teams were selected from mem
bers of the Y. M. G. A., and were known as
the Triangles and the Basketites. To the
audience they were the whites and the blues.
The whites won out after hard struggle, the
final score being 10 to 4.
Another feature had been provided for
the evening which was no less attractive to a
portion of the audience than the literary
programme or the athletic contest, and that
was the gypsy camp" which was to be
seen on the second floor Of the building Many
tents had been pitched, and these were occu-
pied by regular, live gypsies. Gypses Of all
sizes, Of many colors and different degrees
of beauty were to be seen, and each had some
thing that the guests wanted.

NEW YORK, Nov. 26.-Walter M.
Castle, of San Francisco, with his wife
and little boy, whose troubles in Lon
don have been fully told in the dis
patches from London, arrived here to-
day on the steamship Havel. The
Castles appear on the passenger list
of the Havel as Herr w. Michaels
Castle, Frau Ella Michaels Castle and
son. During the voyage Mr.. and Mrs.
Castle mingled freely with their fell
low passengers. Both appeared to be
in good health and spirits. Just as the
Havel reached Quarantine the Castles,
who had previously been on deck for
some time, went below and could not
be found during the brief time the
steamer was in quarantine, undergo
ing the health officers inspection.
Mr. Castle furnished the Associated
Press with a signed statement telling,
in his own language, his experiences
abroad This covered the departure of
Mr.. Castle, his wife and boy for Eu-
rope, and Of their cordial reception in
London. The round of festivities, being
more than his wife was accustomed to
at home where she had been for a year
past, her health began to fail, He took
his wife to a physician, who told, her
rest was absolutely necessary, although
Mr. Castle says his wife never informed
him of this advice. After a few weeks
stay in England, Mr.. Castle and his
wife started on a tour of the con-
tinent, leaving the son at school in
England During the journey there
was a Slight dispute between a gen
tleman and himself one night as to
the amount Of ventilation necessary
in the car. The excitement caused his
wife to become hysterical and she con-
tracted facial neuralgia.
At Milan Mrs. Castle complained Of
pains in her head, and Mr.. Castle says
he noticed all through the trip an in
creasing condition of irritability in his
Wife's temperament. Upon reaching
Paris, Mrs. Castle began to prepare
for the return home. This necessitated
a vast amount of dressmak;ng and the
consequent fatigue broke her down.
Later they left for London. In London
Mr.. Castle again devoted a portion Of
time to business, the remaining time
being entirely passed with his wife
and boy in visiting the various shops,
at his wife's request. At times his
wife was obliged to remain in bed q
portion of the day owing to her physi-
cal condition. Mr.. Castle then re-
counts the preparations for departure
for home and his having invited a large
company of friends to an entertain
ment at his hotel that night He adds:
Between 5 and o'clock there was
a knock at the door. Upon responding
to the same, number of men entered
the room. I questioned them as to
their business. They replied:
Tt means that you are arrested for
stealing furs; come with us quietly so
as not to alarm the house: we will take
you to the furrier concerned to ex-
plain the matter -

ALWAYS GOOD AT THRESHING.
A Woman Shows Her Superiority
Over Men

A woman thresher is a novelty-that is
outside of the school house or home. And
the one in question is a genuine thresher Of
the golden grain of the Northwest. She
came into one Of the Minneapolis farm ma
chinery houses the other day to make her
final payment on her machine. This was
startling and marked her a of
business capacity; for the man who makes
full payment a thresher this season is
regarded as exceptionally good man. That
the lady in question had business head is
further evidenced by the fact that she sue
ceeded in working" the manager Of the es-
Establishment for $3.50, the amount of her fare
home. She innocently told him that to pay
her bill in full would take every cent she had
and she must take out enough to get home.
While the manager gently demurred at re-
ceipting the bill in full with this discount off,
she ingeniously limited that il would cost more
than $3.50 to send collector after the bal
ance, and he tumbled to- the situation as
gracefully as possible. Mrs. Thresher Tor
perhaps it is Miss said that she had made
$4,000 out Of her machine and had 1877 stacks
of grain to finish this winter, which she pro-
posed to do II the snow was hub deep. Con-
sidering the fact that many machines are
being taken back on mortgages this year no
one can successfully maintain that a woman

activity,

HIGHWAYMEN ON WHEELS.
Very IndustriOusly Working in Min
neapOIis Suburbs.

Highwaymen are doing lively business in
the outskirts Of the city, and their methods
have the charm of novelty, they using a
buggy in which to make their escape in each
instance.
The police have received several reports
OF this sort of highway robbery. Peter Rob-
inson, resident of Wayzata relates his ex-
peTience with buggy highwaymen and told of
two other robberies that were committed last
Friday night in the same way
Robinson had just returned from the CITY
and was driving through a lonely spot on the
WayZata road when he noticed a buggy with
two men walking along side of it coming from
the opposite direction. Being unsuspicious he
allowed his team to go along at asow trot

ENOUGH AND TO SPARE.
County Jail Prisoners Had a Great
Thanksgiving Spread.

Six huge turkeys, with sufficient stufing,
were lined up in smoking array in the kitchen
of the county jail yesterday, and shortly
afterwards they were fanked by pumpkin and
mince pies, cranberry sauce celery, mashed
potatoes and white bread with the browniest
of crusts.
This was the dinner which Sheriff Holm
berg had prepared for the twenty-four guests
in his hosiery, behind the iron bars. There
just one quarter of turkey for each
man. and they had appetites to do it justice
In times gone by, at the old jail, the sheriff
used to set huge table in one of the wings
of the jail, where the prisoners were all
escorted and allowed to partake of the spread
like other people. With the new jail, in its
unsafe condition, this programme could not
be carried out, and so the repast had to be
served the same as ordinary meals, in tin
plates and cups, with only a spoon for a
gastronomic weapon.
Yet the prisoners enjoyed the variation
from the regular fare immensely, and voted
the sheriff jolly good fellow. There was
no stinting in the quantity and II an ap-
petite called for two pieces of pie 1t was
forthcoming, and the oliver Twist act was
never INDUCED in. The prisoners had to be
closely watched as Is usual during the dinner
hour and of course each one had to eat
alone but there was much pleasantly in
