After an absence of more than three
years, Mr. and Mrs. H. Darwin McIlrath
Chicago's cycling world girdlers, ar
rived in New York this week and after
resting started out on their wheels to
finish the circuit of the globe. On April

Japan, China. Burmah, India, Persia,
Russia, Austrla-Hungary, Germany.

nearly 10000 miles exclusively of jour

estimated to have been in the neighbor-
hood of ST. 900.
The McIIraths passed through many
dangers. Their lives were threatened
on several occasions in Asia.
The tho-sand miles between New
York and Chicago will be covered by
the McIlraths under the auspices of the
Century Road club and RELAYS of riders

hours behind schedule time. In the
village of Mattewan one of the oldest
on the Hudson, replete with legends of
Rip Van Winkle and the Kaaterskills,
the population was on the outskirts of
the town to receive the travellers.
Though behind time over an hour on
the schedule, the McIlraths were forced
to dismount and accept the hospitality
of the president of the village, which
took the form of a typical country dim
ner, with lots of sweet cider. There
are some steep hills Oh the east bank Of
the Hudson between Peekskill and this
point. These retarded the progress of
the couple and the escort.-Ex.

ing Thanksgiving proclamation:

a proclamation: The approaching No
vember brings to mind the customs of
our ancestors, hallowed by time and
rooted in our most sacred traditions, Of
giving thanks to Almighty God for ali
the blessings he has VOuchsafed to US

blessed by abundant harvests, our trade
and commerce have been wonderfully
increased, our public credit has been
improved and strengthened, all sections
OF our common country have been
brought together and knitted into closer
bonds of national purpose and unity.
The skies have been for time dark
ened by the cloud of war, but as we
were compelled to take up the sword in
the cause Of humanity We are permitted
to rejoice that the conflict has been of
brief duration and the losses we have
had to mourn, though grIevOuS and inn
portant, have been SO few considering
the great results accomplished as to
inspire us with gratitude and praise to
the LOru OI uOSlS. we may 1duu duu
magnify His holy name that the cessa-
ton of hostilities came so soon as to
spare both sides the countless sorrows
and disasters that attend protracted
war.
do therefore, invite all my fellow
citizens, those at home as we'll as those
who may be at sea or sOjournIng in
foreign lands, to set apart and observe
Thursday, the oath day of November, as
day of national thanksgiving, to come
together in their several places of
worship for service OF praise and
thanks to Almighty God for all the bless
ings of the year; for the mildness of the
seasons and the fruitfulness of the soil
for the continued prosperity of the
people; for the devotion and valor of
our countrymen; for the glory of our
victory and the hope of a righteous
peace and to pray that the divine guild
ance which has brought heretofore to
safety and honor, may be graciouslv
continued in years TO come.

Delightful Mt Fortress Monroe,

The spring season at Fortress Monroe this
year gives every promise of being the larg-
est and most enjoyable of any year tina.
this famous old resort has known. The
hotels are already well filed with those
who will be there during the height of the
spring season, which begins the first part
of this month and lasts until the last of
April The weather this year has been es
pecially delightful at Fortress Monroe, but
few days being disagreeable enough to pre-
vent one from being out-ofdoors. 1t is this
almost invariably pleasant climate that
makes Fortress Monroe so desirable, ana its
reputation as an ideal winter resort is not
second to the best known places of Florida
and California. The only direct route from
this city to Fortress Monroe is via the ele-
CANT steamers of the Norfolk and Washing
ton Steamboat Company. One of the
steamers of this line leaves 7th street
wharf every evening in the year at Z
O'Clock and lands her passengers at Fort
ress Monroe at o'clock the following
morning. The entire trip is made without
change, thus saving all the Inconvenience
and annoyances which so often occur when
connections are necessary. All the steam
ers of the Norfolk and Washington line are
handsomely furnished, their state rooms
being especially neat and cozy. The boats
are heated throughout by steam and light
ed by electricity The excellence of the
meals served on board is another feature
which deserves special mention.

Fined for CrueIty,

Mr.. Charles Early, the real estate dealer
was complained against IN the Police Court
today by Agent Rabbit of the Humane So
ciety for alleged cruelty to animals. The
horse belonging to Mr. Early was clipped a
few days ago, and Wednesday the animal
was permitted to stand in front of the
otfica uncovered. This, it is said, was the
result Of neglect on the part of Mr.. Early's
driver. AS soon as he was notified he sent
for his employe and had him cover the
horse.
Mr.. Early denied any intention Of cruelty
In the case. He said he had paid $3.50 for
the animal, and certainly would not mis-
treat 1t.
Judge Kimball said he thought it was an
act of cruelty to clip a horse at this sea-
sen of tie year. This was not the question
before the court, however. The Judge held
that the failure to have the horse properly
covered on the day charged, constituted
cruelty, and imposed a fine of s., which
was paid.
