DOUBLE TRAGEDY.

George w. E. Ayres. aged 40 years,
of 1913 north Fifteenth street, Phila.
delphia, last night shot and instantly
killed his wife, Mary E. Ayres, aged Sc
years. of 35l7 north Mervine street;
seriously wounded John J. Wilson,
aged 80, who boarded with Mrs Ayres,
and then committed suicide. In q
letter left for the authorities Ayres
gave as the reason for his crime the re-
lationg which he averred existed be-
tween Mrs. Ayres and Wilson. The
letter continues with the statement
that Ayres and his wife had lived hap.
PLY until the summer OF 1897, when
Wilson came to board with them: that
less than year later Wilson aud the
wife decamped with nearly all the fur
niture ana went to Gloucester, n. j.,
returning subsequently to the Mervine
street house.
Ayres went to the house armed with
two pistols and blackjack. He met
Wilson at the door, chased him into an
alley in the rear and shot him through
the stomach. Wilson will probably re.
cover. Returning to the house, Ayres
shot his wife through the neck. He
wrote note to the police telling them
they would find an explanation Of the
crime in letter he had left in bis
room, on north Fifteenth street, and
then he shot himself. When the police
arrived Ayres was alive, but uncon-
scious. He died on the way to the
hospital.
Ayres was q painter by trade and
bore q good reputation. His state
ments regarding Wilson are confirmed
by neighbors. A son of the dead
couple is member of the Sixth
United States Infantry, now at Fort
ress Monroe.

THANKSGIVING

ls legal holiday in the United
States, where it is generally observed as
a day upon which to return thanks to
God for the blessings of the year. The
custom is reputed to be of great antiqui-
ty, having been borrowed as some
declare from the Mosaic law. This,
however, is doubtful, notwithstanding
that Hebrews were accustomed to cole.
brate plenteous harvest by public
festivals and Acknowledgements. The
custom Of celebrating national and local
festivals became established at the
earliest periods. The escape of Leyden
was made the occasion for praise
services, and the discovery of the Guy
Fawkos plot was observed by thanksgiv-
ing services in England up to within a
comparatively recent period. Some are
inclined to tho belief that the custom in
the United States was imported into
this country from Holland. where the
Harvest Home" festival is an annual
feature. However this may be, the
origin of Thanksgiving day in the Unit
ed States is due to the early settlers of
New England. Throughout the colonial
days in that section, they were Of annual
occurrence, and during the Revolution
ary War congress repeatedly recon-
mended the setting apart of day to be
devoted exclusively to thanksgiving and
prayer. At the close of the war, upon
the adoption Of the constitution and at
other periods in the early history Of the
nation, national thanksgivings we're re-
commended and celebrated. A notice
able feature in this connection, is the
fact that Thursday, the day always sell
ected by the New England governors,
has been adopted universally through
out the United States as Thanksgiving
day" From New England the custom
gradually extended into the Middle
States, the Western States. and finally
into the Southern States. Prior to the
Civil War the proclamations of Thanks
giving were issued by the governors Of
the several States. During that period,
the national executive appointed days of
Thanksgiving, as also of fasting and
prayer. and the precedent thus estab.
lished has been adopted by succeeding
administrations since the close of hos
tilities.
Thanksgiving day is now celebrated
by union services among the Protestant
churches, and since 1883 by reciting
prayers for the State and Nation in
those of the Roman Catholic faith. In
the homes of citizens, without respect
to religion, faith or church afhliation, il
is made day of merriment and feast.

Facts about each person will be

Our first census. made in 1895, showed
tho population of the United States to

examined by the supervisors, but il
many cases they will probably require

Washington, April l2.-In a report
to the secretary of war DIR. Victor S.
Clark, sub-director CT public instruc-
ton in Porto Rico. says only $50 q
month can be offered to American
teachers, with transportation to the is
and from New York. The English
speaking supervisors are men, and
through them it is hoped to weed ont
devices and develop some kind of con-
troll. DIR. Clark has prepared a revised
course of study, containing only such
subjects as are taught in American
schools.
As understood in this country there
is no system of higher education in
Porto Rico. No school on the island af-
fords adequate preparation for Ameri-
can college work. There is no CO.
education of the sexes. No school
houses exist on the island, the schools
usually being held at the residences
of the teachers. Only a part of the
pupils have text books. About 525
schools are reported in the island, and
little over $30O,OOO is annually paid
for their support.
A great desire is manifested to learn
English. New text books are being
published in this country to replace
the Spanish books now in use. A
pedagogical museum and American Ii
brary has been established at San

ALASKAN BOUNDARY MATTERS

Washington, April 22.-An unex-

modus vivendi which makes the future
of the modus quite problematical. E.l-
tended conferences on the subject
were held yesterday, the result being
far from encouraging. The principal
difficulty arises from dealing with OF
tawa as well as London, this dual ne
gctiation causing great delay and COM
plication. At the outset the United
States proposed a modus with tenn
porary line along certain peaks. The
British ambassador forwarded this to
London and Ottawa. The Canadian Of
ficials have now proposed changes in
the line, and after considerable delay
the authorities in London approve the
changes proposed by Canada. 1t is not
stated what the respective lines are.
but they are sufficiently apart to make
it quite unlikely that any immediate
agreement can be reached, even of a
temporary nature, as to the boundary.
