BALLAD OF THE FIRST
THANKSGIVING.

1t was Can't Pierce of the Lion who strobe
the streets of London.
Who stalked the streets in the blear Of
morn and growled in his grisly beard;
'By Neptune." quoth this grim sea-dOg,
Il fear that my masters undOne!
Ills 6 bitter thing if all for naugnt through
the dranch Of the'deep I've steered.'

through the spinning drift and the
smother,
Come for guerdon of golden grain for
hungry land affair;
And he thought OF many wasting maid and
of many a Sad-eyed mother.
and how their gaze would turn and turn
for sail at the harbOr bar
But famine lay on the English isle, and
grain was boarded treasure,
So rudy the coin must CLEAN TO loose the
lock OF the StOre-h0uSe door;
And under his breath the Captain groaned
because of his meager measure
And the grasping souls of those that he'd
the keys to the precious store.
But he flung Il laugh and Il f1eer at doubt;
and Drawing the roaring city
He faced them out-those moiling men
whose greed had grown to curse
Till at last he found in the strenuous press
heart that was moved to pity,
And he gave the Governors bond and
word for what he lacked in his purse.
So the Lion put her PROV to the west in
the wild and windy weather
Her sails all set, though her decks were
wet with the driving scud and the
Never an hour would the Captain hold his
Stanch little craft in tether.
For the haunting thought of hungry eyes
was the lure that called him home.
SOOth. in the streets of BOStOn-tOWn was
the heavy sound of sorrow
For an iron frost had bound the Wod and
the sky hung bleak and dread;
Despair sat dark on the face of him who
dared to think of the morrow
When not a crust could the good wife
give if the children moaned for bread.
But bark. from the wintry waterside loud
and luSty cheering.
That sweeps the sullen streets Of the
town as Il wave the level strand!
"A SAIL a sail!'' upsweled the cry, speeding
the vessel steering
Out Of the vast of the misty sea in to the
waiting land.
Tur the page of the dimming past that the
dust Of the years is dry on
And see the tears in the eyes Of JOY as
the ship draws in to the shore,
And see the genial glow on the face Of
Captain Pierce of the Lion,
As the Governor grips his faithful hand
and blesSes him DER and DER!
Oh, the rapture of that release! 'FeaStfng
instead of fasting!
Happiness in the heart of the home, and
hope with its silver rGy
Oh the songs of prayer and praise to the
Lord God everlasting
That mounted morn and noon and eve on
that first Thanksgiving day!

Would Improve Eventually

A good story comes FROM the lobby of
the Hungarian Reichstag in reference to
recent meeting between Baron Banffy
and former prime minister, Count Ju-
Illus Szapary. As the present premier
shook the hand of his predecessor he al
luded to the accusations Of the opposition.
and remarked: An, count YOU were
merely a bad prime minister, but I am
worse than that | ain thief and a
traitor, and Heaven knows what else"
Never mind" replied the count comfort

minister you will once more be respecta-

Margaret Moore Changes Her Mind
Again and Becomes Mrs. Foley.

Scranton, Pa, Nov. 28-Miss Margaret
Moore, who deserted Timothy Foley at

the home of a friend of Miss Moore, and
the Rev Richard II. Walsh, pastor of ST
GATHERINGS church, who partly officiated

A Pure Water Victory.

The authorities of the city of Newark
have successfully carried to completion
their first suit to prevent the pollution Of
the city's water shed under the law of
1887. A farmer named John Fogerson of
Newton maintained a pig sly over a mill
race the water of which, Newark's engin-
GERS declared, found its way into Oak
Ridge reservoir. One of the Health De-
partment inspectors used all sorts of ar
guments to persuade the fellow to abate
the nuisance, but he refused to do So.
Newark then brought suit, the first un-
der the law, and, although it was hotly
contested by Fogerson at every point, the
city won.
h will be a satisfaction to the inhabi-
tants Of this and other cities, who depend
upon running streams for their water
supplies. Pure and wholesome water is
most essential to all and it is a matter
for general rejoicing that at last an act
has been placed upon the Statute book
whereby corporations and individuals can
be compelled to refrain from polluting the
potable waters of the State.

THE new HIGH SCHOOL.
Committee Are Out Today
Looking for Sites for the
Building.

The High School Committee, consisting
of Directors higgins, Mersheinea, MINI
mo and Mooney, started out today to look
for sites for the proposed new edifce. It
is the intention of the Directors to secure
a site which is centrally located and with
in easy access of all the car lines. 1t has
been definitely decided to locate the build
ing on the Hill. There is a movement
about to secure the building for that ter
ritory lying north of Newark avenue and
the Five Corners. Property owners of
that section have combined and it is re-
ported will offer fattering inducements
to the committee. While he Hudson
Cityltes are hustling for the building,
there Is a we'll packed movement TO secure
the location of the building somewhere
ON the Hill, between Montgomery street
and Communipaw avenue, east of the
Boulevard. In the latter territory lnere
is no dearth Of available sites. but the
impression prevails that valuations will
be SO high for a tract such as is required
that they will be prohibitiye.
The members of the committee will
move slowly, and it is likely that they
will announce how many sites they have
inspected, give the asking price of each
and then report as to which they
think best adapted for school purposes
EXPRESSIONS CT opinion may be asked
FROM property owners and persons inter-
ested in school work.
The committee hope to secure a site ard
have GROUND broken for the new build
ing before spring.

TWENTIETH CENTURY YOUNG MAN
Secretary Brown of the Y. Nj. c. A.
Tells What He Must BE.

Charles B. Brown, Secretary of the
Young Mems Christian Association, adj
dressed a meeting of men in Hasbrouck
Institute, yesterday afternoon, entitled,
1.-THE Twentieth Century Young Man,"
which was both interesting and instrue-
tive. Mr.. Brown held the closest atten-
ton Of the audience which included sew
eral prominent men of the hill After de-
filming the purpose and object of life, as
being beyond the narrow ideas Of the
old school of philosophy. which question:
ed whether Life was worth living" See
rotary Brown took up the question of the
coming century's young man. Mr.. Brown
believed that the twentieth century
would open up a demand for men, es-
pecially young men, beyond anything ever
before witnessed in the worlds history.
But he added, 4the new conditions
and responsibilities will require a higher
young man will AVE to be better edu-
Gated, purer in thought and deed, abb
solutely and reliable, of better judg-
meflt and less visionary and speculative.
If with these qualities are combined the
necessary Christian character, this would
be the young man that would rise to the
top round OF the ladder"
In closing Mr.. Brown made an eloquent
appeal to yOung men to prepare them
selves for the new era soon to be ushered
III. and to have high ideals of life and
noble impulses. The address bounded in
many interesting Illustration that the
speaker had personally known OF young
men who had met the issues of life and
mastered them. The address produced a
deep impression.

ADJUSTMENTS,


Marie Wainwright. who comes to the
Academy this week, hit upon a strong
play when she selected Shall We For
give Her to star in this year, according
to all accounts. 1t is an English play
and received its first presentation in this
country under the management of Jacob
Lift at the Fourteenth Street Theatre,
New York. 1t met with instantaneous
success, and is NOW touring the country
| with gratifying results. According to the
New York papers, Shan We Forgive
Her. is rather better than the average
| play of its class. Mr.. Lift certainly
thinks so or he wodld not have engaged
Marie Wainwright to play the leading
role. Miss Wainwright is an actress of
| rare ability and a woman Of unusual per-
! sonal attractions. She has been identi-
fled for years with the better class of
| old English comedies, and has starred
| successfully i'll them for several seasons.
She is an accomplished and trained ac-
tress, and a woman of marked inteili-
gence, whose presence in the cast of
'.Shall We Forgive Her. entities it TO
the consideration of thoughtful playgo-
ers. 1t is extremely doubtful if Mr.. Lift
could have secured a woman better quail
fed to fill the trying role, if he had
| searched the country over.
Shall We Forgive Her. achieved sub
stantial success in England and is still
being presented there. The story deals
with the life of a woman, who. through
no real fault of her own, has -transgressed
the moral law in her early life by an alli-
ance with a man who afterwards turns
| out to be a scoundrel. After serving him
faithfully and loyalty for years, she re-
aiizes his utter unworthiness and leaves
him to begin a new life. In the course
of time, she weds a good man, but one
whose notions of propriety are rather
strict regarding offences against the So
cial laws. She has not disclosed her
! past life. They live happily together UNI
til the disclosure is made by another wom-
an. The shock caused by the knowledge
that his Wife has deceived him makes
him blind and the inevitable separation
follows. The Wife's love does not grow
cold, although she is scorned by her
husband. A reconciliation is finally eff
fected after months of weary waiting
the mans sight is restored, the wife is
forgiven and the end is the usual happy
one. Special scenery has been gotten up
| by Manage Lift and a fine production is
promised. A strong cast has been en-
gagged to support Miss Wainwright.

| presented on Wednesday and Saturday

REV. COX HAS RESIGNED
Tabernacle's Assistant Pas
tor Will Preach His
Farewell Nov. 81.
TABERNACLE MAY BE SOLD
Congregation Can No Longer
Garry the Burden Of
Two Churches.

The rumors that the Rev. Sydney H.
Cox, assistant pastor of the First Com
gregational Church, has accepted a call
to Brooklyn were yesterday confirmed.
and on November q Mi. Cox will preach
his two farewell sermons, the one at the
Tabernacle in the morning and the other
at the Boyd avenue church in the even
ing. The assistant pastors new field lies
in the Lee Avenue Congregational Church
OF Brooklyn, where it is reported he will
receive twice his present salary.
Mr.. Cox for The past two months has
been on the lookout for a new field, al
though as late as last September he a
no idea of leaving the Tabernacle, and
laid out all his plans for the winters
work However, the T~abernacle's future
began to look so dark that Mr.. Cox, after
due advice, decided to take care of himself
and look for pastures new. "a house
divided against itself cannot stand and
this is just the trouble with DR.. Scudder's
church. There is little unity between the
Tabernacle and Boyd avenue branches,
nor has there been unity since the con-
two years ago. Aside from
this the First Congregational Church
treasury is not sufficient to support two
branches, and even now there is some
talk Of either separating the churches or
closing the Tabernacle outright. This
latter step the downtown people win not
hear OF without a severe struggle, all
though it is rumored that the property
IS at present in the hands of real estate
agents. This, however, the trustees re-
fuse to confirm.
Certain it is that the church is in a
dilemma and : Pastor Scudder has his
hands full. He cannot serve two congre-
cations, and after all it is probable that
the old Tabernacle will go the way Of all
large downtown congregations, both here
and in New York, with only the founda-
ton or perhaps a row of tenements to
mark the spot, as i'll the case of DIR.
