Quoted by Rev. DIR. Marshall and Rev.
Mr. Weston. The sermon was preached
by Mr.. Weston. His text was in First
Thessalonians (V. 49,: "In everything
give thanks"
'Thanksgiving," he said, sis the prin-
cipal act of worship. In every act of
devotion the devout soul is struggling
upward. The church teaches thanks
giving in all her services-even the bu-
rial service. The human heart apart
from God is prone to lngratitude. 1t
needs to be constantly reminded of his
merc.es. Ingratitude is a heinous sin,
in one sense rebellion against God.
Let us not be ungrateful but count up
our mercies. Our mercies are great"
Mr.. Weston then spoke of the many
general blessings. Peace, plenty and
liberty have been with us; no deadly pes
thence he's visited us. and though we've
had a mild type of yellow fever the medi-
cal men have taken t by the throat. No
dire calamity has fallen on US as ma
ton
He said that too much prosperity is
harmful. Then he spoke of our indivdu-
al blessings and asked how we should
show our thanks for them. BY doing
what we can honestly and conscientious
ly to relieve others who may not have
all the blessings we do. Help them over
their burdens and they will help us in
turn to carry ours"
The music was especially appropriate
and very good. The offertory was sung
by Mrs. McKimmon and Miss Minnie
Tucker and was beautifully rendered.

Another Indian the Nictims-rht
Murderer Caught.
Duluth, Nov. 29.-Word has reached
here of a shocking Indian murder that
took place on the Fond du Lac reserva-
ton, 40 miles north'of here. 4 Chip
pewa half-breed named John Anamsin,
left the reservation several days ago
and went to the town Of ClOquet. Late
Tuesday he returned, crazed with IL
Quor, and in a lit of drunken rage at
tackled his wife who was about 10 give
birth to a child. He dragged the
woman from her bed and threw her on
the floor, where he beat and kicked her
into a state OF Inconsistencies. The
brutal treatment caused premature la
boz, and while actually receiving the
blows from her husband the woman
gave birth TO the child.
About the time Anamsin had fin
ished his work another Indian named
Peterson happened to be passing the
house, and hearing a noise he broke
into the and attempted TO protect
the PROSTATE woman. Anamsin seized
a club and turned his attention to Pet
erson, who made an effort to get out,
but before he could do so it is said An
amsin Knocked him down and literally
pounded his head into a pulp.
He then took the body and threw it
into a creek les by, and returning to
the house saturated the floor of the
room in which his wife and child lay
with kerosene and applied the match.
Then. with the evident intention OF
covering up the act, he closed and
locked the door and left the house.
a number of neighboring Indians by
this time became aware that something
was wrong, and breaking into the
house got the and child out, but
the rescuers barely escaped with their
lives. Both Mrs Anamsin and the
child died half an hour later.
A squad OF Indian police started
after Anamsin, and caught him about
daybreak on the Cloquet road. He
showed considerable fight and in
formed the police that they could not
have him alive, thereupon one of the
police fired at him, inficting a slight
wound. He was taken back to the res
.ervation and locked up.

New York, Nov. 29.-Ada Rehan in
silver is to be outshone by William Me-
Kinley in gold according to the Herald

actress acquired ny posing for the Mon
tana statue Of solid silver exhibited at
the worlds fair is to be approached if

United States who will furnish the fg-
ure for a liie-sized statue OF solid gold.

ern world have ever seen. So SAYS F.
D. Highly, Of Chicago, who has been

Highly was in the city yesterday on his

THE AMERICAN A v



Washington, Nov. 29.-The report of
the secretary of the navy was made
public today. 1t shows that the pres
ent effective fighting force of the navy
consists of four battle-ships of the first
class. two battle-ships of the second
class, two armored cruisers, sixteen
cruisers, fifteen gunboats, six double
turreted monitors, one ram, m dyna-
mite gunboat, one dispatch-boat. one
transport steamer and five torpedo
boats. There are under construction
i've battle-ships of the first class, six
teen torpedO.b boats and one submarine
boat.
There are 81 other naval vessels, in
Guiding those used as training, receiv-
ing and naval.reserve ships, tugs, dis
used single-turreted monitors, and
some unserviceable craft.
There is, further, the auxiliary feet.
This consists, first. of more than 20
subsidized steamers, which comply
with the requirements OF the postal act
OF March 3, 1891, with regard to their
sdaptability to naval service, AMI to an
armament of main and second batteries;
second, of a very much greater number
Of large merchant marine steamers,
which can be availed of at any time of
need.
These auxiliaries, ranging from 2, 900
to ~. 600 tons, will, if occasion re.
quire, form a powerful fleet of ocean
cruisers, capable OF swift and formida-
bic attack upon an enemy's commerce..
Their great coal capacity will also en-
able them to remain a long time at sea
in search of the whereabouts of hostile
vessels.
The country is congratulated upon
the results obtained in the rebuilding
of the navy. While its ships are not
as maryland it is not necessary they
should be-as those of some other great
powers, they are, class for class, in
power, speed, workmanship and often
siye and defensive qualities, the equal
Of vessels built anywhere else in the
world.
Five additional battle-ships are I'M
der construction, which should be COM
pleted by the end of the year 1899.
One gunboat and II torpedo-boats are
also under construction.
The first cost of the gunboats was
about $250,0 90 each. That of the cruis-
ers nearly 81, 900, 900 each.
Bids for the torpedo-boats were from
l6 firms, covering a variety of designs.
The contracts of these 30-knot boats
were awarded to the lowest bidders, as
follows:
To Harlan &c Hollingsworth, one $40
ton boat, at $236, $1,000; to Gas Engine
& Power Company and Charles L. sea-
bury Co., consolidated, one 235.ton
boat, at 1910, 90; to Wolff & Zwicker
iron works, one 247. 5-ton boat, at
s2l4, 500.
1t is of interest to note the naval
programmes of the principal foreign
powers which show the great activity
prevailing among them in the matter
OF naval construction.
