A DAY OF HAPPINESS.
No Skeletons at the Thanksgiving
Feast.

Feast.
There is one feature of Thanksgiving
that is always noticeable and which has
never been more marked than yesterday.
A full heart and good dinner go well
together and on Thanksgiving of all
holidays man usually has an excep-
tionally good meal. There are some
faces of course that all the good cheer
that could be hcaped into one day could
not possibly brighter, and natures 50
solred that no amount OF good fortune
could cause to be thankful.
Such were the exceptions yesterday and
nine out of every ten faces seen on the
street wore an expression which, if not
absolutely thankful, at least indicated
cause for thanksgiving. Boys with the
colors of their favorite foot ball team fly
ing in many colored streamers from
their buttonholes and the fcrocious
enthusiasm Of the game on their
faces, girls in their best bib and
tucker, matrons with the red glow OF
Thanksgiving dinners preparation still
showing on their faces; all seemed to be
participating in the freedom from all
earthly woe, which is produced by the
great feature of the day-the dinner.
Not the least Of all who wore an express
sion Of peace, good will and thankful
ness were the people who had backed
the Warren boys in their football game
against the United States Artillery
School team. You could tell one
of these thankful individ ua s
as far as you could zee him.
The symptoms were tendency
to dojig steps and maltreat his headgear
and voice upon the slightest encourage
ment. OF course some of those people
who think themselves obliged to carry
the worlds sorrow will break in with
a tale of some poor fellow who hadn't
turkey, but they don't count. There
wasn't any skeleton at our feast, and
confusion to those who drag one in.

MKINLEY CAST IN SOLID GOLD.
Presidents Figure to he Embodied in
Statue at Paris Exposition
of 1900,

NEW York, Nov. 25-Ada Rehan in
silver is to be outshone by William Me
kinley in gold. The added fame which
the actress acquired by posing for the
Montana state of solid silver exhibited at
the Worlds Fair in 1893 is to be APP
preached, if not eclipsed, by the Presi-
dent of the United States, who will fur
nish the figure for the life sized statue of
solid gold.
This will be the most costly lump of
precious metal the people of the modern
world have ever seen. So says +. d.
Highly, of Chicago, who has been retain
ed by Western millionaires to furnish
such statue for exhibition at the Paris
Exposition in 1900. Mr.. Highly was in
the city yesterday on his way to Wash
ington to get the consent of President
Mckinley to pose for the figure.
As Mr.. Highly took prominent part
in the headquarters management of the
late national Republican campaign and
has asked for no office, he is confident of
success in this mission.
"You know" said Mr.. Highly to me at
the Imperial Hotel, "that l designed and
built the Montana statue at the Worlds
Fair for which Ada Rehan posed. l sup

II WAS A COWARDLY BLOW

Police Captain Thomas Kane was
struck a murderous blow in the face
yesterday by an intoxicated tough in the
city hall. Early yesterday morning
John Conahan was arrested for disorder
ly conduct on warrant issued to his
wife. About noon James Conahan. a
son of the prisoner, called at the Police
Station under the influence of liquor and
demanded to seeIhisE Efather. Noticing
his condition, the Captain told him that
he could not see the elder sConala lust

There seems to have developed during
the last week a tendency to "do" the

John Jacob Astor. Every tough who
sees fit to make life a burden to respe IT.
able people in certain portions of the
town imagines that he is privileged to
abuse an officer and if he is arrested to
use him for a punching bag.
This murderous assault within the
very doors of the City Hall is simply the
climax OF a series Of dastardly outrages
pcrpctrated by towards who know that
an officer will not retaliate. Conahan
is a typical country bully, and had Cap
tain Kane been other than an officer of
the law he would no more have dared to
strike him than to have monkeyed with
a buzz saw. Captain Kane is a magnif-
cent specimen of American manhood.

The decision OF the Sound Money Democrats

THE STITE or IRELAND.


Less is heard now than week ago about
famine in ireland, and there is n growing nope
tllat matters will ultimately be found not near
L. 50 bad a. they were n first represented. In
some districts, undoubtedly there has been Il
failure % some crops. But there does not seem
TO have been a failure Of all crops nor gen
crIl failure of any throughout the island. Ire
land has in the last dozen years become FAR less
Il country Of one crop than she used TO be. and
poa;o-rot is not the word Of terror and despair
that ii was. even in 1850. or course. II there
is great distress in the island this winter it will
be relieved. and America will do its share in
the work. But ii does no, yet appear that there
will be any unusual distress. or that the general
crops Of ireland have suffered more than they
have in about all other countries outside Of the
United States.
\ hopeful feature of the case. TOO. is that the
undoubtcd industrial! revival Of recent years in
Ireland has made the people Ear better able than
hitherto to help themselves through any slight
ana temporary trouble. Attention has recently
been called 10 this revival and the consequent
Improvement in the condition ~ the people. An
other unmisIakablc indication 10 the same eff
feet is offered in the annual report OF the Regis
trarGeneral. That document reveals the inter
csting fact that the number OF marriages in the
island IN IS0G was considerably above the aver
age Of recent years and was higher than in any
year since 1871 The birth rate was also higher
than in any year since 1881. and the death rate
was the lowest Stree 1871 The excess of births
over deaths was 3l9i1 True the emigration
exceeded the births by 1904. Yet tho number
OF cmigrants was much smaller than for many
years, and vas probably nearly equalled by the
number Of immigrants, although Of the latter
no exact record has been kept Ten years ago
the rate OF emigration was III 10 tho j 600; last
year II was only Sc.
There is no more certain index Of the eco
numical condition Of such country as Ireland
than these vital statistics afford. The Inference
irrcsstby drawn from the figures quoted is
that prosperity Is returning TO tho "disressful
country," and that the people realize the fact
IT is 10 be believed. also. that the turning point
In The history OF the island has been reached
and that from this time forward the population
Will increase instead of decreasing. rs IL has
done for the last half-ccntury. IN lS22 Ireland
had CSC. Jos inhabitants. From tina; date there
was steady increase until 1SlJ. when the
