DESERTED BY OFFICIALS.
The Three Uptown Executive Depart
menta Unusually Quiet.

There was a more general suspension of
public business in the executive depart
ments today than is usual, even on Sun
days or national holidays. Never since the
opening of the war with Spain have the
three uptown departments been so COM
pletely deserted by officials as was the case
today. Secretaries Hay and Alger ex-
pected to spend at least few hours in
their offices today, but upon being inform
ed that affairs were absolutely quiet, they
concluded to remain at home. Mr.. King,
who is acting chief clerk of the State De-
partment, was the only official of that de-
partment on duty today.
In the War Department Assistant Secre-
tary Meiklejohn and Adj. Gen. Corbin At
tended to the little business that had to
be done, and Assistant Secretary Allen
spent a short time at the Navy Depart
ment Most of the gentlemen named left
for home about Il o'clock. and from that
time on the big granite building housing
the State. War and Navy Departments was
as quiet as the grave.

Feast Mt st. Elizabe this.

AS has been the custom for years, the
inmates and employees of st. Elizabeth were
treated to a Thanksgiving day feast. The
institution today presented quit, holiday
like appearance. except in the neishborhood
of the great kitchens, where there was
hum and hustle, and from which floated
savory odors from roasting turkeys and
baking mnce pies Dinner was served
early in the afternoon.
To supply this meal there had been pur-
chased something over 100 pounds of tur-
key and four barrels of cranberries, while
inside the institution there were made
about $50 mnce pies, and great punches of
celery came from the gardens. There was,
of course. an abundance Of other things on
the big tables today
After supper this evening the inmates will
be rendered the customary Thanksgiving
dance in the large new dining hall.

FIVE NATIONAL SURPRISES,
DIR. Talmage Refers to the Lessons Of
the Year.


The First Presbyterian Church was beau
tifully, appropriately and periodically dec
GRATED today for the Thanksgiving service.
The walls. to a great extent were covered
with large American flags, artistically
draped. Banners We're suspended from the
chandeliers and gas jets, while the rostrum
held a display of products of the harvest
wheat and corn, vegetables and fruits, the
whole presenting very pretty picture es-
pecially pleasing as one entered from the
outside, where Indictment weather prevailed
The music, rendered by the choir under
the direction of DR.. Johnston, was of I'M
usual excellence. The concluding number
was My Country, 'Tis of Thee"
Rev. T. De Witt Talmage preached the
sermon, and it proved of such interest that
the majority of the large congregation
pressed forward at the conclusion of the
services to express to the pastor their APP
prevail of his effort Perhaps the most in
teresting feature of the remarks of Dr. Tai
mage was his reference to five national sur
prises of the year The first surprise, he
explained, was that Spain, a nation of H.
OO0.n1 people, should have defied US; they
went to war with Anticipated guns. The
second surprise was the multiplicity of our
heroes and heroines, the former In the
field. the latter in the hospitals. Whoever
thought that we had all about us Deweys,
Simpsons. Schleys. Sigsbees, Hobsons, Joe
Wheelers, Helen Goulds. Mrs. Sages and
thousands of men and women just as brave.
inquired the pastor. In this year of mag
nificent harvest is the harvest of heroics,
gathered on San Juan Hill and IN the Flor
ida hospitals.
The third surprise according to DIR. Tal-
mage, was such vast victory with such
limited sacTific of human life, with SYM
pathy for the wounded. garlands for the
dead and prayer for the bereft. But
think" said the pastor, "of whole navy
sunk and onty two Americans hurt. In one
battle of 1864 more men were slain than by
! all the bullets and ALI the diseases of the
| entire war new closing"
The speaker explained that the fourth
, surprise consists of SPAIN with shps sunk
! er ard finances hopelessly deranged, her
! throne rocking for fall that is sure to
come. standing today staggering about her
honor and resisting the Inevitable.
| The fifth surprise, it was stated IS that
despotisms on the other side of the sea,
which hate us and always have hated us.
! have not given a helping hand to our trans
atlantic enemy.
I Rev. DIR. Talmage prayed that the God

Caustic Judge Hawkins.

Judge Hawkins once had to sentence
an old swindler and gave him seven
years. The man in the dock squirmed
and whined, "Oh, my Lord, I'll never
live half the timeI' Hawkins took an
other look at him and answered, 81
don't think it is at all desirable that
you should"
The formality of asking a newly con-
victed prisoner if he had anything to
say why sentence should not be passed
upon him brought another characteristic
retort from the judge. A prisoner in
these circumstances usually either says
nothing or curses at large in his rage,
but one of them struck a theatrical pos
ture and with his right hand in the air
shouted MAY the Almighty strike me
dead if l don'tspeak the truth 1 am in
nocent of this crime" Judge Hawkins
said nothing for about a minute, when,

minated in his most impressive tones,

A curious sect in Russia is that known

A certain Spanish friar, who was an
almanac maker, predicted with accuracy
and in distinct and precise terms the
death of Henry Nv of France. The friar
in question was arrested and brought
before the king, who treated the predic-
ton with contempt, while he thanked
the friar for his anxiety upon his (the
king's) behalf.
The event, however, happened as the
prediction had foretold.
In this case it is, of course, quite pos
sible that the friar may have had some
secret knowledge of the existence of a
conspiracy against the kings life and
desired in this way to warn his majesty
of the impending danger.

The Face.

Most girls are pleased to be thought
beautiful, nor is it displeasing to a
young man to find he is spoken of as
handsome. But if we recall the faces
that are most pleasing to us we shall
commonly find it is not fairness of COM
plexion or eyenness of feature that we
admire, but ii merry smile, a kindly
expression, a frank, honest look-it is
really the character of the person ex
pressed in the face which attracts us.
But a face does not respond to the effort
of the moment. 1t is "a revelation of the
habitual attitude Of the soul. Thoreau
says, "Any nobleness begins at once to
refine IA man features, any meanness
or sensuality to imbrute them"

Houndipp Celebrities.

DR.. Paul GARNER, a French specialist
in lunacy, has been giving some infor.
nation about the insane men and WON.
en- who follow celebrities about and fall
in love with them. The doctor has to
send two or three women of this sort to
asylums every month, and nothing is
known of the cases by the public. Good
looking priests, the doctor declares, arc
notably marks for the attention of such
females. After the priests, but in a lesser
degree, come the members of parlia-
ment whose names are most frequently
in the newspapers or who make good
speeches in the chamber, the authors
and the handsome actors. The latter,
like the priests, have often been threat
ened by their jealous admirers. In some
instances women have gone to the the
aters with loaded revolvers ready to fire
at them, but for some reason or other
have failed to carry out their purpose.
AS to actresses, DIR. GARNER states that
their dangerous adorers are terribly nu-
merous. Mime. Sarah Bernhardt has
sometimes to be watched over very care
fully. Her w%orshipers secrete them
selves in all sorts of places in order to
see her enter or leave her theater or her
residence. The special detectives have
had to interfere OH two noted occasions
in order to save the famous actress from
the bullets or the daggers of maniacs
who resolved to injure Oh kill her be-
cause she refused to respond to their flat
teries and passionate declarations OF
