CANTON, o.. Nov. 26.-This was q real holi-
day for President-elect Mckinley. Few people
called on him and he WAS ut home only q small
part of the day TO receive them. Tho weather
was ideal and almost unprecedented for Thanks
giving Day in this vicinity. and the Major and
his household spent most Of II beyond the wallis
of their little home.
First of all the Major and wife called out tho
family rig and had q drive in the warm sun
shine. Then the Major went TO church to union
services for the Methodist denomination of the
city. Mrs. Mckinley with women friends con-
tinued the drive. Mother Mckinley's carriage.

was the service In the synagogue at
IL o'clock. where DR.. Herman Baar, the aged
superintendent, delivered the sermon to 40
children and a number of guests.
ITO our children" said DR.. Baar. this last
campaign will teach a sound and beneficial
lesson. The Young and the ignorant are easily
captured and carried away by glittering phrases
aad flow of eloquent language. A talker of
some brilliancy and fire can often In half an
hour upset or unhinge the steady minds of
numbers of minimizing men. When you get
older. and arrive at that period In which you
will exercise your political rights, then place
yourselves always on the side of that party
where you find common sense coupled with real
patriotism, and national honor blended with
natural integrity. 1t is by the ~loftiest and high
est standard of public honor that you servo best
your country and yourself;
In the afternoon Mr.. Theodore Seligman of
the Building Committee turned over tho keys of
the new wings 10 President Emanuel Lehman.
Mr.. Lehman accepted the keys in a short ad-

Just what the Society OF the Mystic Circle 10
only its members know, but 1t is composed Of
apprentices and ex-apprentices and numbers
about forty-nve members. These sat down to
the dinner.
A variety show preceded the dinner. 1t was
scheduled to commence ut 10 o'clock, and at
that hour the men gathered ON the forward
deck. The first thing on the programme Was a
drill OF tho Mullignn Guards. led by the Chief
OF Police. The guards solcmnly marched to the
quarter deck, which on other days is sacred to
the officers. A note was sent down to the Of
fcers to como up and see the show, an invitation
which all Of them accepted. After the drill all
hands, together with the officers, gathered on
the forward deck to witness the boxing. II
there is anything n Jack Tar delights In 1t ia TO
see a mar handy with his fists, and both bouts
evoked tremendous applause. The princi-
pals in the match for heavy weights
were Seamen Oelson and Peterson. Both
men have some reputation In naval circles.
Petersen. on account Of having knocked
out two men on the Corean coast, was re-
Rarded as a suro winner. The mon boxed five
rounds with four-ounco gloves. At tho end Of
tho NTH round both were bleeding freely. and
the master t-arms deemed II prudent to stop
the bout. IL was called q draw. and the prize Of
$40 was divided between them. Considerable
interest attached to the second bout, MS there
was something moro than the prize OF So at

went out visiting their friends In Brooklyn. and
when they returned Smith accused his COM

postpone this until yesterday. The men fought
for blood from the first. Smith began a rushing
game. and at tho beginning OF the third round
both men had lost their wind and were tanning

knee into his opponents groin. temporarily dis

Givney on n foul.
A musical entertainment, interpreted with

BY this time the odor of turkey was issuing
from the galley. and the announcement of din

There were many dinners In New York
yesterday which surpassed this one in the ex-

W. Us FILLED UP.
A Thousand Of Them Got All They Can Eat
at the brace Memorial Home.

~ I" AbH",
About !. 900 boys OF the east side. chiefly from
the neighborhood OF Oak and Cherry streets,
were dined at the Brace Memorial Newsboys'
Lodging House last night, aud 1t took them only
about IL hours to make away with the greater
part Of 200 pounds of turkey, 800 pounds of
ham, three barrels of turnips and $50 loaves OF
bread, besides pie, tea. and other things. Tho
bread was all gone by 7:45. when 500 OF the
boys had finished eating, and Superintendent
Rudolph Heig. who was in charge OF the dinner.
which William Waldorf Aston paid for, had
messengers going NIL about in the vicinity trying
to buy more. lie soon had thirty loaves,
but more had to be sought. The big appetite
for bread was n variation from the usual order
OF things. Ordinarily IL has been found, that
the boys are satisfied with II modicum OF bread
and are determined to devote themselves to
turkey and pie. especially pie.
There were not wanting pie-eaters this time.
nor even repeatcrs at the pie course. But re-
peating made no difference. either AS to pie or
eat as much as they wanted, and not to get away
from the table until they had satisfied what
they thought we're their appetites. Ii some left
the table only 10 take Il new seat nothing WAS
baid to discourage them.
The $50 boys who regularly lodge there, and
their immediate friends VINO came down with
them first from the school room to the dining
hall, rather restrained any exuDerance of spirits
that might have been felt rising In. them. and
Just had a Jolly time on their good behavior. AT
the later tables the boys set TO with all the
energy Of a%ppetites improved by waiting within
companions, and vented surplus vigor by chat
terinc and yelling in n way that made other con-
yersation In the room all but impossible. There
were only a few adult visitors 10 SEQ the dinner.
and in their faces was reflected some OF the
happiness the youngsters were experiencing.
Some OF them were friends OF teachers at the
school connected with the institution.
The boys who ate tn" Thanksgiving dinner
were invited by the regular dodgers. who We're
not restricted as To the NUMBER they might ask
TO come in, but were allowed to tell any boy they
met to come aud get "a Thanksgiving dinner at
