 "The state dinner Or tuv o,,......s,-.. : the real Thanksr;ving dinner-took : place on Saturday. the last day of the celebration. t" writes Clifford Howard ! Of 'The First Thanksgiving Dinner in America, m the November Ladies'
 Home Journal, Notwithstanding that the kitchens of these wilderness homes were sadly wanting Tn many of the most common essentials of cookery, there was no lack of good things nor of appetizing dishes at this great feast. The earth, the air and the water had yielded of their bountiful supplies, and the good danes had done homer to their skill and ingenuity by setting be- fore their hungry guests and com panlous repast as sumptuous and tempting as 1t was varied and delight ful. Foremost of all there was roast turkey. dressed with beechnuts: then came rare veniSon pasties, savory meat stews with dumplings of barley fours delicious oysters (the gift of the Indians and the first ever tasted by the white men), great bowls of clam chowder with sea biscuit floating on the steamlng broth. roasts of all kinds. broiled fish salads, cake and plum porridge: while the centre of each of the long tables was adorned with large basket over- flowing with wild grapes and plums and nuts of every variety.

MT. Preston, the drector of the United States mint, has much 10 say Tn his annual report about the fall Tn the price of silver being due to the heavily increased production. His ex- planation is very clear and would be entirely satisfactory were it not for the fact that gold, too. has increased heavily in production during the last decade, and during the last few years, ofgr at fall in the price of silver, gold has increased in production much more rapidly than silver.

 A dispatch from Denver, dated the S0th inst, says:
 Mrs. Jennie Sanchez was shot and killed this morning in the Colo ado house. The only other person in the room at the time was Frederick c. San chez, husband of the woman.
 About 2:55 thIs morning, D. A. Straub, the night hotel clerk, heard two shots fired in room 16. He, with Sergeant Bell and officer J. G.

 Sanchez says he was married last August at Metropolis. III. His wife's maiden name was Jennie Warren. He is 22 years old; she was 19. He is a native of Valencia county, N. NJ. Re- gently he established hide, pelt and business in this city in partnership with F. G. Moore.
 Sanchez father is said to be sheriff of Valencia county, N. NJ. It is also said that young Sanchez is 8 fugitive from justice, having attempted the murder of rich Spanish maiden last June. He become acqualn ted with the girl whom he married through a mat rimonlal agency.
 It is learned that the real name of the murderer is Jose Sanchez. He is the son of Jesus H. Sanchez, sheriff of Valencia county, New Mexico.

 "Mexiean Pete" was arrested after Sanchez made 8 second statement. He denies that he told Sanchez to conceal the truth. Sanchez's second statement IS declared by the police to be even weaker than the first. The position of the wound in Mrs. Sanchez's head shows that It must have been caused by shot fired at close range by some one holding a revolver over her head.
 To account for the fact that he had most of his clothing on, Sanchez said that it was bls custom to sleep in his shirt and trousers.
 Sheriff Sanchez is i'll at Los Lunas. N M., and has sent his undesheriff, Frank X. Vigil, to look after his sons inter- ests. Vigil was not permitted to see young Sanchez to-day until his confes- sion had been recorded and signed by him. With Vigil is Augustus O'Brien, of Santa Fe, N. M.
 The suspicion that Sanchez tried to poison his wife before shooting her proved unfounded. The autopsy showed at the woman had not been poisoned.
