or the car and freeing the victims up there
We're treated TO a piece OF splendid courage
wnsh they came TO Sterling Smith, a Cor
neii student and a nephew OF Gen. Joe
wheeler. The boy lives in Brooklyn and
was going to Philadelphia to-day TO see
the football game between Cornell and the
University OF Pennsylvania. His right leg
Was terribly mangled and TANNED between
heaVy iron and woodwork. but he was con-
scious when the rescuers reached him.
Don't bother about me-" he yelled TO the
Tescuers. There are women below me.
Get them out first. / can wait a while My
leg is broken. See ii wiggle." And the
youth tried to smile.
one of the rescuers said as he chopped
away: You are a brave young chap"
- don't know about that said Smith.
but my mother is a sister of Gen. Joe
Wheeler and l guess I've got the right stuff
in me-" The leg which he referred to as
broken was mashed almost into a shapeless
mass, and 1t ''wiggled' because the bones
were splintered and was hanging simply by
shrecs o. hSh and torn tissues. AT the\hos-

WHITE WILL NOT RESIGN
THE AMBASSADOR SAYS HE DOES
NOT INTEND To RETIRE.
Petty Annoyances by Minor German
Observation-Disclosures william Greets
Queen WflheImina.

BERLIN, Nov. &.-Ambassador White,
who is taking a short vacation in Italy. sent
the following dispatch 10 the Associated
Press this evening in reply to an inquiry
regarding the report that he intended TO re-
sign on account of advanced age: The re-
port to which you allude is an entire fc-
ton
The rumor had caused no little commo-
ton in Berlin, and several semi-official pa
pers this evening expressed doubt of it's
correctness. John B. Jackson, secretary OF
the United States embassy, had declared
that the embassy officials were not aware
of any such intention on the part of the am
bassador, but Mr.. Whites denial this even
ing was the first authentic information on
the subject.
\ Some color had been given TO the report
by a recent unpleasant experience of Mr..
White. calculated TO embitter his stay here.
His landlord is trying TO sell the ambassa-
doris residence to the government of the
Grand Duchy Of Baden, which is anxious
to secure ii for its own legation. He re-
pudiates Mr.. Whites contention that the
lease of the premises was for the ambassa-
doris term. Mr.. White finally placed the
matter in the hands of a lawyer. Before
he left for his vacation he remarked that IL
forced TO leave the premises he would re-
sign, as he was unwilling to undergo again
the heavy expense and trouble of fitting up
a residence.
While the relations between the United
States embassy and the higher German off,
Gals leave nothing TO be desired. several
members of the embassy have had reason
to complain of the underiing authorities.
Thus ii has just leaked out that DR.. Fisk,
second secretary of the embassy. was ar
rested a month ago. He was simply an
eyewitness of the boisterous behavior OF a
number of American boys in a railroad car,
but, on arriving at the station. he was
taken to the nearest police functionary,
who detained him an hour, although he as
serted his position and offered documentary
proof of 1t. Ii was only after the arrival
OF one Of DR.. Ffsk's friends from the official
residence that the police released him. TIL
next day, on a representation from the em-
bassy. the laundering officials apologized.

For THANKFULNEss

Never nave the American people had
greater cause for thankfulness than they
have to-day. The past year has been one
to which the phrase ~"unexampled prosper
ity" can be applied. Never was the labor
of the country so fully employed. When.
before this year. has scarcity Of labor been
a matter of complaint? Who would have
thought three years ago that il would be
possible that all of the unemployed could
had no cause to be idle the past year. In
the general business of the country there
has been unusual activity, demand far
surprising the capacity to supply in many
industrial ines. The abundance of the
products of the farm shows that it has been
a favorable year for the tillers OF the soil.
These are the conditions which should
cause thankfulness. AT the same time the
bright outlook and the promise that these
conditions will be continued may we'll cause
gladness of heart. The fear of depression in
business, which has so often cast a dark
shadow over the land with the approach of
winter, has no place in the homes to-day.

W. much to be thankful for, judged by
our standards. but they so relied upon Prov

God. With the passing years the custom of

came a national institution when Abraham
Lincoln was President. Doubtless the great
responsibilities which came to him led him
to declare his dependence upon the Supreme
Ruler and at the same time TO express
his thankfulness for the favors and mercies
which he could recognize, if others did not,
in those seasons of darkness and
doubt. So. from the first until now,
Thanksgiving day has been set apart be-
cause of a special recognition Of an over
ruling Providence. Such recognition is one
of the objects and duties of the day. The
feeling of thankfulness for what we have
Is such a recognition.
Thanksgiving Is a festival Of the home
more than any we have. 1t strengthens
the ties of kindred and the influences of the
home. Some very good people who are so
u%nhappily constituted that there can be
nothing but evil unless their formulas for
thanksgiving are observed are making
themselves very miserable because young
men will play football and people who, they
declare. should know better will attend
the game on Thanksgiving day. 1t is hoped
they will not make their Thanksgiving mis-
cradle by worrying over the uses which
others make Of the day. There are so
many ways of being thankful that no one
should insist that theirs is the only one
which will be acceptable to the Source of
all Good.
But. in whatever way expression is given
to the feeling of thankfulness. let us all
remember that as a people we nave special
cause for Thanksgiving and praise to-day.

wINDHAM COUNTY COURT.
March Term Convened Wednesday, but
Little Work Has Been Done.

The March term was convened Wednes-
day at 2 p. NJ. Present, Hon. James NJ
Tyler, presiding Judge; Hon. Frank Wor-
den, Hon. Daniel Kellogg, assistant
judges.
Proclamation for the opening of the
court was made by Sheriff Gordon and
prayer was offered by Rev. Mr.. Norton.
who feelingly alluded to those who had
died since the adjournment of the last
term of court. On the calling of the iury
docket the IS cases set for trial at this
term three weeks ago had melted away to
IL. This was by reason of some cases
having been settled, agreed to be referred
and tried out of court, or the sickness of
parties or some material witness, while
Others had been taken from the iury list
to be tried by the court. The afternoon
was taken up with the hearing of various
motions made to the court. When court
assembled Thursday morning Judge TYLER
delivered to the jurors summoned to serve
during the term comprehensive and in
structive charge with reference to their
duties as jurymen. The case that was
expected to be ready for trial failed by
reason of one of the parties being taken
Ill with grip during the night, and counsel
agreed that the case might be tried by the
court if the party became able to attend
before the final adjournment. No other
jury case being ready recess was taken
about O'Clock until Friday morning,
During the day some business was done by
the court in the way of clearing off cases
that stood on motions for continuance. etc
The divorce case of Bertram W. Dimick
VS.. Emma 5. Dimick was heard and bin
granted for desertion. 1t is expected that
the case OF Emma D. Howard VS.. John o.
Shumway, which is an action of replevin.
will be ready Friday morning.
