MIR. HAYS Free Gin 10 England.

Our dispatches from London yesterday

of the Senate. We refer TO the statement

scriptural mandate to return good for

PROCLAMATION
For Thanksgiving DaV Issued by President
Mckinley.

1t has pleased Almighty God to
bring our nation in safety and honor
through another year. The works of
religion and charity have everywhere
been manifest. Our country through
all its extent has been blessed with
abundant harvests. Labor and the
great industries of the people have
prcspered beyond all precedent. Our
commerce has spread over the world.
Our power and influence in the cause
of freedom and nlightenmenthave ex-
tended over distant seas and lands
The lives of our official representatives
and many of our people in China have
been marvelously preserved. We have
been generally exempt from pestilence
and other great calamities and even the
tragic visitation which overwhelmed
the city of Galveston made evident the
sentiments of sympathy and Christian
charity by virtue of which we are a
united people.
Now therefore, l, William McKin-
ley, president of the United States, do
hereby appoint and set apartThursday,
the 29th day of November next, to be
observed by all the people of the Unit
ei States, at home, or abroad, as a day
Of thanksgiving and praise to Him who
holds the nations in the hollow of His
hand. l recommend that they gather
in their several places of worship and
devoutly give Him thanks for the pros
perity wherewith he has endowed us,
for seedtime and harvest for the val
c., devotion and humanity of our ar
mes and navies, and for all His bene-
fit tc Us as individuals and as a ma
JJ., and Shat they humbly pray for
g.. cCCsinuance of His divine favor,
for concord and amity with other ma
tions, and for righteousness and peace
in all our ways.
In witness whereof, l have hereunto
set my hand and caused the seal of the
United States to be affixed
Done at the city of Washington this
29th day of October, in the year of our
Lord one thousand nine hundred and

For young women the Russian

tremely popular. 1t. buttons up close
ly to the neck in front, and if any
gold decoration is apparent it is found
in the narrow belt, with perhaps the
addition of gold tassel or two, says
the New York Tribune.
Lacings of gold cord are much used
in velvet and taffeta Goleros, and are
also introduced in the side panels of
many new skirts. a popular notion is
to have the entire sleeve slashed over
the upper side from shoulder to wrist
and laced together with fine gold cord.
This gives opportunity for dainty
undersleeve in white or some delicate
shade to show through.
Tea gowns from Paris are elaborate
creations in plush or panne, and more
than half of them are of Japonaise,
with yoke straight in the back and
terminating in two rather long and
narrow points in front. The sleeves
are of the flowing pagoda cut, and

PUZZLED ABOUT DESCENT.
Problem That Is Distracting an Eng
lish Student of GenenIogy-
Subtle FaIIacy,

Here is a little genealogical prob
lem which perhaps some of the read
ers can solve. A man writes to the
Liverpool Post saying: II have, like
the rest of human beings, two par
ents. They in turn had each two.
These four grandparents had each
two, and so on. Now, if we take on
an average four generations to a CEN
tury. 33 generations have passed away
since the time of William the Con-
queror, and by the simple process of
multiplying two by itself 33 times I
find that at the date of the Norman
conquest i must have had 1858, ,934, ,5s2
ancestors of that generation. But
this is eight or nine times the total
population of the globe at the pres
ent day, and must be fully 80 or 40
times the total number of human be-
ings living in the eleventh century,
so that there must be fallacy in my
calculation somewhere. Can anybody
tell me-" he asks, what the fall
lacy is?"

CONTINUED APATHY
Prevails on the New York Exchange Prices
Are Lower.

BY Associated Press
New York, Oct. 31.-The stock mar
ket was still further involved in ap-
athy and indifference today. Business
was strictly with the professional
traders. The rally which developed
yesterday, in sympathy with the sud
den upward movement in Southern
Pacific, retained some force, with evil
dence of continued buying in that
stock. The opening was higher than
last night, with some further advance,
but when it became evident that buy
ing orders in Southern Pacific had
been filled, the market fell into leth~
argy. The resulting tendency to sag
developed very gradually until near
that buying orders were very scarce,
and as a result the earlier gains were
entirely wiped out and the market
c,Csed below last night all around.
Weakness was most marked in high
priced industrials and steel stocks.
The contention was the same as yes
,erday, namely a disinclination to en-
ter further on speculation until after
the election. The decline in Tennee-
see Coal coincided with the reports of
dissatisfaction with the management,
Bonds gave way at some points in
sympathy with stocks, after having
shown strength in the early dealings.
United States bonds were unchanged.

A Remarkable Record.

An extraordinary record has just
been completed by the death of an
aged priest in the diocese of Rosenau.
Hungary. He was one of half a dozen
young ecciesiastics who over 60 years
ago on the same day completed the
theological course at the seminary.
They were ordained priests on the same
day and for 60 years labored together
in the diocese. United they had been
in life, they were hardly separated by
death. for in the short space of two
months all six have died, their ages
being So, SO, SS, Sc, so and 81 respec-
lively.

WAIT FOR THE DIsRoGIuG.
Strange Fact Revealed That Goldfish
Feast on Lobsters when the
LATTER Shed Their shells.

1t is probably news to the majority
of people to know that the red or
rock Goldfish is bitter enemy of the
lobster that has just crawled out of
his shell and is soft and unable to
protect himself, says the Lewiston
(Me.) Journal. During shedding time
these Holsters crawl up under project
ing rocks where the seaweed and kelp
are thick and where they find pro-
tected places in which to go through
the process of slipping out of their
old shells and taking on new coat
of mail, so to speak. For some days
after shedding the Holsters are weak
and unable to cope with those fish
that wage war upon them. This fact
the Goldfish seem intuitively to know
and they will swarm around these re-
treats in great numbers and wait for
the shedders to crawl out.
An old lobster fisherman said the
other morning that many times he
had stopped his dory over large
number of these red Goldfish and
watched their operations. He had
even dropped his line down and dan
gled tempting bait within few feet
of them. Unless it happened to fall
directly in front of their noses, how
ever, they would seldom take it, as
they were after lobster meat. When
the thin-shelled Holsters would crawl
out from beneath the protecting sea-
weed the Goldfish would dart at them
and strike them fierce blows with
their tails, disabling them completely
They would then fall to and devour
the helpless crustaceans. This per-
formance the lobster fisherman said
he had witnessed many times. The
shedding season is now practically
over, and the shells of the Holsters are
becoming firm and hard and they are
fully able to take care of themselves

SWISS NATIONAL INSURANCE.
Report Giving Some Interesting Facts
About II Proposed Lnw That
Was Recently Defeated.

In report to the state department
Consul General Dubois, at ST. Gall
gives some interesting facts about the
proposed Swiss accident and military
insurance law, says the Washington
Post. This law, which was recently
defeated by a two-thirds vote. pre-
scribes obligatory insurance in cases
of sickness and accident. The govern
ment's share of the expense of the
entire premium of the insurance was
to be 20 per cent. the labor 20 per
cent, while the employers of labor
were to bear 60 per cent. The text
of the proposed law contained 400 ar
tic.es, among which was the military
insurance clause, which met consider
able opposition by the military class
es. The project was defeated this
time by $4,000 votes. Glarus was the
only province out of the 22 cantons
which gave majority in favor of the
proposition. There are various causes
which helped to defeat this measure.
In agricultural districts 1t was con-
siGered to be of advantage to the in
drstrial centers. Great dissatisfac-
ton was shown by the people engaged
in house industries, because the law
was made compulsory for some and
optional for others. Strong opposi-
ton was met with among the large
manufacturers, especially those of the
silk industry, because they were con-
vinced that the law would tax them
heavier than they were being taxed
under the compulsory system which
is at present in existence,
