THANKSGIVING PROCLAMATION
Issued BY the President.

The following proclamation has been
issued by the president:
''By the President OF the United
5 :ats s-A Proclamation:
The approaching November brings
to mind the custom of our ancestors,
baliow ed by time and rooted in our
most sacred traditions, Cf giving thanks
to Almight God for all blessings he
bias vouchsafed 10 us duriog the past
year.
Few years in our history have af-
iorded such cause for thanksgiviug
at this. We have been blessed by ab-
undant harvests. our trade and com
merce have been wonderfully increas-
ed, our pu olic credits have beer i'm
proved and strengthened, all sectiOnsn
of our common country have been
brought together an knitted into q
cl, ser bond of national purpose and
unity.
THE skies have been for a time
darkened by the clouds OF war, but as
we were compelled to take up the
sword in the cause of humanity. we
are permitted to rejoice that the con-
fiict has been OF b ief duration, and
the losses we have had to mourn,
though grievous and im portant, have
been so few, considering the great re-
suits accom- plished, as to inspire u
with gratitude aud praise to the Lord
of hosts. We may laud and magnify
his holy name that a cessation of
hostili les came so soon as to spare
both sides the countless sorrows and
disasters that attend protracted war.
81 do, therefore, invite all my fellow
citizens, 4 those at home as well as
those who may be at sea or sOjourni ng
in foreign islands, to st apart and on
-erve Thursday, the Oath day OF Nov
ember, as a day of national tharks-
giving to come together in their
several places of worship for the SER
vice of praise ard hanks to
Almie hty God for all blessings of the
year, for the mldness of the
seasons and fruitfulness of the soil: for
the continued prosperity Of the pc pie:
for the devotion ard valor of our couu-
trymen: for the glory of our victory
and hope of n righteous peace: and to
pray that divine guidance which has
brought us heretofore TO safety and
honor may be eraciously continued in
years to come.
"In witness whereof.

Deafness Cannot BE Cured

by local applications, as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the ear.
There is only one way TO cure deafness,
and that is by constitutional RENE dies.
Deafness is caused by an infIamed con-
dition of the mucous lining of the Eus-
tachiAn Tube. When this tube gets
inf med you have 2 rumbling sound or
imperfect hearing, and when it is en-
tirely closed deafness is tn result, and
unless the intl mmation can be taken
out and tins tube restored to It's nor
NAL condition, hearing Will be DESTROY
ed forever: nine cases out of ten are
caused by ca arb, which is nothing
but an r. famed condition of the mu-
cous surfaces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars for
any case of deafness caused by catarrb J
that cannot he cured by HALLS Cstarrh
Cure. Send for circulars, free.

BASE BALL MAGNATES
MAKING plans For Next Year

CHICAGO, H., Oct. 31.-The mag
mates and managers of the Western
Baseball league are much in evidence
about the corridors of the Great North
ern hotel today. They are assemble d
in response to President Johnson's call
for sthe annual fall meeting, which
event marks the beginning of the ar
rangements and work for the season Of
'99.
The interest of the fans centers In
the report which the circuit committee
will hand in to the magnates. This in
all probability will decide the makeup
OF the circuit as the committee has
spent the last few weeks carefully con-
sidering bids for the franchise held by
st. Joseph this year.
The old question OF Chicago having
q Western League club is having its
periodical airing, but unless all signs
fail the franchise will be awarded to

THE extension of the Sierra Msdre
lise into the high mountains, up TO the
very heart of the rich pine timber belt,
and within easy reach of the wonder
full mining region OF the Sierra Madre,
will mean much to FL Paso. BY this
extension q new source of supply for
pine timber is opened up. IL Is certain
that this timber will be easily able to
compete in this market with any other
timber that comes here. The Mexican
market alone, however, will be all the
mi lie that will be established at Cssas
Grandes can handle for q long time.
The pine tract that lies at the end OF
the projected extension is the largest In
northern Mexico, and one of the
argest in the republic. All the Nor
mon settlements will be tapped by the
new line, or brought into easy traf-
licking distance. Much mining business
also will go over the line, and all this
10 cans business for FL Paso,

GREAT HORSE SHOW
The Best Ever Held West of the
Mississippi.

ST. LOUIS, Mo-, Oct. 81. - The
second annual horse show OF the ST.
Louis exposition, which opens this
evening at the Coliseum, bids fair to
excel anything of the kind ever held
west of the Mississippi as an exhibit of
the prize winning quadrupeds of the
equine race, The entries include the
cream Of some Of the greatest stables
of the country.
Twelve Thousand dollars will b dis
tributed in prizes this year, besides
silver cups valued at 81 900. An inno-
walton Is to be introduced at the open
ing this evening in the way of bril-
liant promenade similar to that which
each year evokes stor ms OF applause at
the national horse show in Madison

LONDON, Oct. 31.-The American
colony in London has formally express
ed its thanks to the committee in
charge of the arrangements for next
weeks lord mayors show for the good
will manifested toward America in
the committees selections of subjects
to be slleRoricslly represented 10 the
floats which, in accordance with time
honored custom, will! form a prominent
feature of the pageant.
Without q dissenting voice the COM
mittee. at it fret meeting, decided
that the close relations between Eng
land and the United States should be
made the subject for an categorical dis
play. 1t is learned that this float will
be equaled in cost and magnifcence
only by that illustrating in specta-
cular sense the victory of Lord
Kitchener in the Soudan.

IT is worthy of special note that the
bonds Of the city of Ell Paso are eager
ly sought after, even before they are
issued. The three new bond issues
that are to be voted upon next month
are as yet by no means certain Of rati-
ficstion. Nevertheless the mayor has
received an offer from q Chicago house
to take the whole issue, ffty-one thou
sand dollars, at private sale. The
credit of our city is becoming known
far and wide, and the general effect Of
sven this small amount of ADVERTISE z
viii be good. What this city needs
now is a commercial club that will
direct line OF careful and iudicious
advertising.

IN MEMOREAW
The Gladstone Memorial Movement
Has Not Been Very Well Sup
ported in England.

LONDON, Oct. 31.-The amount SO
far subscribed for the national Glad
stone memorial falls far below the ex-
pectation of the committee and unless
there is marked increase in the num-
Der and size of the contributions it is
probable that American admirers of
the great statesman will be asked to
lend their aid.
The original intention was to limit
the subscriptions to the United King
dom and the colonies, but report
just made by the committee, of which
the Duke of Westminster is at the
head, shows that the amount subscrib
ed barely exceeds $50, 600 while some
thing like twice that sum is necessary
TO Carry out the purposes of the move
ment.
These include the erection of monu-
ments in London, Edingburgh, and
Dublin aud also the erection of q
memorial building at.Hawsrden to con
tain the library CO lected and arrange d
by Mr.. Gladstone himself and devoted
by him to the use of students from all
parts of the world.

OMAHA, Neb., Oct. 31.-Before an
other day dawns the Traus-Mississippi
and International exposition will have
ceased to exist except in the memory
of the $500, 600 visitors who have pass
ed through its turnstiles since May l.
This is the last day of the big fair
and all Omaha and many neig boring
towns poured their population inside
the big gates to help make Omaha day
fitting elimination of the great en-
terprise. BY order of the mayor the
day was declared municipal holiday.
The schools remained closed ard bust
ness generally was in a great measure
suspended for the day in order that
everyone might participate in the final
celebration.
The transportation facilities OF the
street car lines going to the park prov
ed entirely inadequate for the accomo-
dation of the crowds. All kinds of We
hicles were pressed into service, and at
noon it was estimated that fully 100000
persons has passed through the gates
In the exposition audit orium inform
al exercises were held during the
morning under the auspices of the
Commercial club and the Knights of
Ar-Sar-Ben. the two organizations
which have contributed much TO the
success of the enterprise.
The directors announce that the ex-
position closes with cash balance of
nearly $3.50, 600 on hand, and it is be-
lieved the stockholders will receive q
return of seventy-five cents for every
dollar invested.

USELESS TO CONTINUE
And the Prospect For An
Early Settlement of the
Peace Treaty Not
Bright.

LONDON, Oct. 3l.-A dispatch TO the
Central News agency from Madrid by
way of Bayonne says that Senior Monte
no Rios, president of Of the Spanish
peace commission, has informed the
government that it is impossible 10
agree with the American delegates,
and therefore that it is useless to con-
tinue the discussion,
1t is generally believed in official
circles that Spain will take a cash in
dennity for 3 quit-claim OF the Phil
ippines. Her commissioners in Par is
expected to make stand for a cash
indemnify and American assumption
of the Philippine debt, but will
eventually be content to walk off with
the cash.
The mode of settlement is favore d
here, as the ADMINISTRATIVE has no dis
position to assume Spanish obligations.
PARIS, Oct 31.-The joint peace
commission after session of little
more than an hour today adjourned
till Friday to give the Spaniards time
to prepare a reply to the American
note on the Philippines question.
The note presented by the American
commissioners announces the purpos e
of the United States to take the en- Gir e
Philippine group. and to assume that
part of the debt which was cO5tracte d
for the benefit of the Islands.
The United States refuses to assume
any part of the debt which was con-
tracted to quell the instructions
among the natives.

I From Mondays DsilyI.

AMONG the interviews from real
estate dealers, published in Fridays
HERALD, were two that we're 20 sharp
ly opposed as to be worthy OF comment.
Mr.. Coles said:
During the past 30 days L have sold
s35, 900 worth Of property aud loaned
els, 900 on real estate security at low
rate of interest. l have more money
than 1 can loan, but can sell all the
real estate can get.
Speaking to the sane subject Mr..
LOOMS said:
For the fret time since L have been
in business I am entirely out of houses,
during the week. Rents are not like
ly to 90 any higher. The reason there
are not more houses built to be rented
Is that money Is scarce and the rate OF
interest high.
To US it appears that Mr.. Coles Is
nearer to true conception of the state
of the market. We will not assume to
speak of local conditions in detail, but
it is certainly true all over the coun-
try, aud nowhere more than in the
southwestern empire, that money Is
plentiful, and is everywhere seeking
investment at reasonable rates of re-
turn. 1t is not 90 very long ago that
tso and twelve percent represented
the minimum rate at which moderate
sums Of money could be obtained, even
ON yearly loans. Now il is not at ell
difficult to get money at eight per cent.
on good security, and one of the largest
real estate dealers In town is seriously
considering placing the interest rate
on ell deferred payments at six per
cent It would be hard to imagine any
move the real estate men could make
that would work more directly for the
good of the CITY and of themselves than
this. II one Of the larger dealers will
set the pace In this matter, it will not
be long before the normal rate OF in
serest here Is reduced TO six per cent.
The tendency is undoubtedly that way,
and It is only question whether bust
ness men will reap the benefit that will
accrue to them by virtue OF taking the
nrst step, or will be forced to it by cir
oumstances.

RENTAL houses are very scarce here.
Almost every house that is built is
rented or sold before it is finished, and
the real estate agents are utterly I'M
able to supply customers. There is q
great opportunity open to some out
slider who will come in here without
any western preiudices as to the rate
OF interest money ought to earn, and
wi proceed to build neat and attrac-
tive cottages to rent at q moderate
sum. .-'
