A PURITAN THANKSGIVING.
The Model Biu Of Fare Ieor Their A-,rual
Feast.

The Model Biu OF tarr For Their A-rual
Feast.
We have no record OF lust how the
Puriians' Thanksgiyirg tables were set,
but from con.empOrancous pictures We
can judge that thoro were fow, if any,
forks, each guest being supplied with a
knife. They sat on benches and chests,
ate from pewter nlatters, and the table
was in most cases literally board
placed on wooden horses. They had few
chairs o. tables, but We're plentifully
supplied with chests containing their
linen and warGrobes, and these served
in the place Of chairs. In later colonial
times chairs and tables became more
plentiful and forks were more common,
but all preferred to eat with their knives
on account of the dangerous, sharp, steel
points of the two pronged forks. The
table and dishes were arranged as fol-
lows:

Il want to call your attention, said
q prominent citizen who has been advo-
eating favorable municipal legisla-
ton TO the new Artesian Well Water
Company. "to this clause in the old
water company's covenant and he
handed an Evening Journal reporter
the following section:
And the said New Castle Water
Works Company doth further covenant
and agree to and with the said Trus-
tees Of the New Castle Common to fur
nish and produce twenty fire plugs, of
cast iron, made In a good and substan
tial manner, to place the same in con-
dition for use, at convenient places in
the said town of New Castle, and sup
ply the same with all the water neces-
sary for the extingulshment of fires,
and the cleansing of cutters, free from
any cost or charge to the trustees or to
the town, and inhabitants, forever"
After the reporter had finished, the
eager citizen continued:
Now if that is not good ground for
litigation, there never was any Why
it is farcical. The plugs have not been
used for flushing cutters for ten years,
except probably once each Summer
"'All the water necessary at a fire
sounds absurd. Why, do you know that
the very best and most modern fireplug
in town is situated in front of the
/ United States Hotel, at Ninth and
Young streets. On a recent Saturday
afternoon. when the mills were not
running and there was a full force of
water on, the Silsby fire engine be-

plug and main dry in eight minutes.

OF HEART DISEASE.
Sudden Death of Washington Hesing of
Chicago.

Chicago, December 18.-Washington
Hesing, proprietor of the Illinois Stats
Zeitung, one of the leading German news
papers Of the Northwest, and postmaster
of Chicago during the last term of Presi-
dent Cleveland, died suddenly this after
noon of heart disease at his home On
Michigan avenue. Mr.. Hesing had bee n
i'll for several days with severe cold but
was rapidly recovering. During the after.
noon he was down town, returning to his
residence shortly after o'clock. Mrs.
Hesing at the time was out shopping and
| the last person who spoke to Mr.. Hesing
was servant girl whom he met in the
hallway on the way to his room. A few
minutes after o'clock the girl went to
Mr.. Hesing's room on an errand and
when she entered he was half sitting,
half reclining on a sofa with his head
supported by his hands. He was breath
ing heavily but there was nothing unu-
sual IN his appearance and the girl, snip
posing him to be asleep went out rs softly
as possible in order to avoid rousing him.
From that time until five O'Clock when
Mrs. Hesing returned, he was alone in
the room. His wife noticed at once upon
entering the room that he was very i'll
and quickly summoned assistance, but by
the time medical aid was at hand Mr.
Hesing was dead. The physicians de-
clared that he had died of heart disease
and said that in all proba bility they could
not have saved him had they reached him
before life was extinct.

Nervous Prostration Cured.

our daughter, without medicine of very Sc
rious stomach trouble from which she had SUI
fered intensely for years and which finally pro-
duced nervous exhaus ion. other physicians
failed to give her relief, and we had almost
despaired of her ever being well when she com
menced treatment with Dr.. Chase. To us it
seems no hing short OF miracle.

Several criticisms Of the caucus have
rscently been made in this paper. One of
them has been that the city committee
instead of combining itself to its logiti-
mate business which is, to fix the time. of
no. ding the caucus and the other details,
frequently undertook to control the nomi-
nations. Another has been that the
caucus was oftentimes not really the
primary. as it should be, but simply a
ratification meeting to confirm nomina.
tions, which had previously been made
by select few in a secret meeting.
Doubtless there is some substance in both
Of these complaints, and they present
real evils which ought to be remedied if
possible. They are both essentially
q urpations of power. but the ursupation
OF the city committee Is less defensible
than that of the coterie of gentlemen who
hold no official position, because the city
committee ought to be, and is under obi
cation to be. the servant of the whole
party, and therefore when it becomes the
agent Of faction or a clique it is violat-
ing it's trust. When we come to the
remedy we must look for it in increased
interest among the voters in public ques-
tons, greater activity and more courage
Il tho city committee when caught try
ing to exercise power that does not be-
long to it was promptly turned out,
trouble of that kind from that source
would soon cease. So if the coterie of
gentlemen who presume to dictate nomi-
nominations turned down, that the voters
resented such dictation they would soon
find their occupation improbable. But
the public are pretty easy going except in
a moment of great evaporation. The
bosses understand this and count upon
the indisposition OF the mass of voters to
make anything like vigorous resistance
unless their nominations are conspicuous
~ bad, which they seldom are. They have
a certain following which they can order
out and which will obey orders, and with
the Indifference which too frequently
prevails among the mass of the voters that
following is sufficient to control the
caucus. They assiduously propagate the
notion that they are invincible, and that
it is of no use to oppose them, because
that tends to discourage resistance, and
keep their opponents at home. There is
really no great secret about the boss's
SUCCESS. He succeeds just as the merchant
who is successful sue Feeds by giving a lot
of time and thought and work to the
business. There is only one way to beat
him, and that is by following his ex-
ample, SO far as time and thought and
work ara concerned. As long as men say
it is no use for them to go to the caucus
because he has fixed things he will con-
tinue to dictate. His reign will be over

THE PRESS.
MONDAY, DECEMBER 20.

The Japanese minister very properly
protests against Ethe destinations which
arenoonstsntly being made by the friends
of hawaiian annexation that his govern
ment has secret designs upon Hawaii.
There is not the slightest evidence that
there is any truth in them whatever, on
the contrary all the evidence is in the
other direction. Ever since the question
of annexation arose Japan has acted open
" and honorably. She has not opposed
annexation. and there is not the slightest
reason to believe that she has sought to
defeat it. What was described as a pro-
test on her part was really an inquiry
openly made as to what the status of her
subjects resident in Hawaii would be
after annexation, and request that their
acquired rights be respected. And this
was within her right and duty. Had it
been proposed to annex an island contain
ing many Americans to Japan we should
have made similar inquiries OF her. The
purpose of keeping these insinuations
OF designs on Hawaii alive is to strength
en- the annexation sentiment. The same
sort of influence was brought to bear in
the San Domingo matter. 1t was then
reported that England would surely an
mex that island If we did not. But we did
not annex it and today, more than twenty
years after, San Domingo remains an in
dependent state. The designs of England
are now known to have been purely
imaginative cooked up to influence the
American Senate. The designs of Japan
in this case are of the same kind and have
no more foundation In fact.

AGAINST ANNEXATION.

Ames, Neb., Decein Der 18-The Anne
rlcan Sugar Growers society has pre-
pared a petition to Congress begging that
body not to be too hasty in taking act
ion on the question of annexing the
Sandwich Islands and the society has
issued a manifesto in which it proclaims
to the country that the annexation will
seriously cripple, if not utterly ruin, the
rapidly increasing industry of sugar
beet growing as the American farmer
cannot grow beets in competition with
the Hawaiian planters who use coolie
labor. The petition to Congress is signed
by the President, vice president. secretary
and treasurer of the American Sugar
Growers society.
