HE WAS uNARMEp.

A good story is being told in Ger
many Of the anti-Semite Burgomaster
of Vienna, DR.. Lueger. Three soldiers
waited upon him the other day as a
deputation, and during the course Of
the interview he asked the first one;
what would you do If the Emperor
ordered you to shoot the Burgomaster
of Vienna|
II should shoot him." was the stolid
reply
"Oh," said the doctor, what may be
your religionY"
II am a Protestant"
"In that case l am only slightly sur
prised at you"
The second soldier gave the same
kind of an answer, and in reply to an
inquiry as to his faith, declared that he
was a Catholic. This rather startled
the Burgomaster, who thereupon turn
ed to the third soldier The latter re-
Piled: Il should not shoot the Burgo-
master"
And why not, my friend? asked the
doctor. What is your religion?"
Il am Hebrew"
What" said the Burgomaster,
Don't you know that I am the great
est Jew hater in the whole of
Hungary? And you would not shoot
me7"
oh" replied the man; ut is merely
/ because do not carry a gun. I am
the drummer of my regiment. "-W ash

lowing:
By the president Of the United
States of Americas proclamation.
1t has pleased Almighty God to
bring our nation in safety and

works Of religion and charity have
everywhere been manifest. Our
country through all its extent has
been blessed with abundant har-
vests. Labor and the great in
dustries of the people have pros
pered beyond all precedent. Our
commerce has spread over the
world. Our power and influence
in the cause of freedom and en-
lightenment have extended 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 calaml-
ties and even the tragic visitation
which overwhelmed the city of
Galveston made evident the senti-
ments of sympathy and Christian
charity by virtue Of which we are
one united people.
Now, therefore, /, William Nc
Kinley, president of the United
States, do hereby appoint and set
apart Thursday, the 18th Of No
vember next, to 'be observed by
all the people OF the United States
at home or abroad, as day Of
Thanksgiving and praise to Him
who holds the nation in the hol-
low OF his hand. I recommend
that they gather ia their several
places of worship and devoutly
give Him thanks for the prosper
ity wherewith He has endowed US,
for seed-time and harvest, for the
valor, devotion and humanity of
our armies and navies, and for ell
His benefits to us as individuals
and as a nation; and that they
humbly pray for the continuance
Of His divine favor for concord and
amity with other nations, and for
righteousness and peace in all our
ways.
In witness whereof | have here
unto set my hand and caused the
seal of the United States to be af-
fixed.
Done at the city of Washington

SUGAR FIGHT.
Factory Still Remains Closed Owing
to the Dividend Cut.

There is no change in the situation at
the American Sugar Refinery, the factory
is hut down and more than thousand
men are out of work with no prospect of
earning any wages for weeks to come.
AT the Brooklyn refinery not so many
men have been laid off as here in Jersey
City, for the reason that there is plenty
of work to be done there.
..The dividend declared on the common
stock which has caused the trouble was
a quarterly dividend in the sense that a
quarter had elapsed" said an officer of the
American Sugar Refining Company today.
There is no rule requiring that dividends
on the common stock must be declared
even if earned. No, cannot say what
action the directors may take on the COM
mon stock at the end of the next quarter.
They may declare another dividend of the
same rate, they may increase the dividend
and then again they may pass it alto
gether."

ONE WAY TO CATCH A THIEF.
C1airvoyant Shufales the Cards and
a Girls Arrest Follows.

When all other methods failed Mrs.
Landowski, of No. 3S Sussex street, called
in the services of a clairvoyant to dis
cover the whereabut of SIS, which she
lost while working about her apartments
on Monday. The clairvoyant is doomed to
remain in obscurity, as she bears a name
that only the most courageous would at
tempt to pronounce and no one could
spell.
The whole matter was heard in the
First Criminal Court this morning by
Police Justice Nevin. There being no
connection between any two statements
made and no proof that the cards read
by the clairvoyant told the truth, the
case was thrown out of court.
Mrs. Landowski is a thrifty housewife,
who live economically in the same house
with a fortune-teler and light haired
girl" She had SIS carefully hidden in a
secret pocket on Monday. In the after
noon Mrs. Landowski missed the $l0 and
started an investigation.
She charged Mary Sandolski, who lives
in the same house and who Is only eight
years old, with having stolen the money.
Mary denied the charge and she was
backed up by her mother.
A heated altercation took place between
the two women, who finally decided to
allow the fortune teller to settle the mat
ter They went upstairs and were usher
ed into dimly lighted room decorated
with mystic emblems of the black art
The cards were shuffled and cut by both
visitors and the fortune teller read that
the money had been stolen by a girl whom
she described as about eight years old, OF
light complexion and light hair. The
description fitted Mary Sandolski. The
money was not forthcoming and the ar
rest of Mary Sandolsh followed.
