high when, according TO the time hal
loved custom of our people, the pres.
ident a day as the special occasion
for praise and thanksgiving to God.
This Thanksgiving finds the people
still bowed with sorrow for the death
Of the great and good president. We
mourn President Mckinley because we
loved and honored him, and the man.
ner OF his death should awaken in the

and and resolute purpose not to be
driven by any calamity from the path
Of strong. orderly popular liberty.
which, as a nation, we have thus far
shfely trod.
"Yet In spite of this great disaster.
it is nevertheless that no people on
Garth have such abundant cause for
thanksgiving as we have. The past
year in particular has been one of
peace and plenty. We have prospered
in things material and have been able
t. work for our own uplifting in things
intellectual and spiritual. Let US re-
member that as much has been given
us much will be expected from US, and
that true homage comes from the heart
az we'll as from the lips. and shows
itself in deeds. We can best prove our
thankfulness to the Almighty by the
way In which, on this earth and at
this time. each Of US does his duty to
his fellowmen.
Nov, therefore, I. Theodore Roose-
welt. president Of the United States,
do hereby designate as . day of gen.
eral thanksgiving. Thursday. the 2Sth
OF this present November. and do rec
ommend that throughout the land the
people cease from their wonted occu-

and places OF worship thank the giver
Of all good for the countless blessings
of our national life.
I'm witness whereof have hereunto
set my hand and caused the seal OF the
United States to be aflixed.

great snowstorm of last April was &C.
we're blow to the exposition. An immense
amount of work was undone, and work
on the grounds and buildings was delayed
for week. Strenuous efforts were made
to make up the lost time, but on May
a vast amount of work remained unfin-
ished, and the formal opening of the ex-
position was postponed until May 20. The
lamentable tragedy in the Temple of Mu-
sic was another blow to the Pan American
exposition.
There was a veritable riot in the mid

from quarrel between an intoxicated

London, Nov. 3.-The cheers which
greeted the duke and duchess of Cornwall
and York as they passed by on their re-

the crowded streets Of London were inter-

existed keen undercurrent Of grief and
anger over the defeat of Colonel Benson's

rope broke 50 feet from the balloon. To
the horror of the spectators, the balloon
rapidly shot up in the air to height
of 1000 feet or more and foated away in
a so,,therly direction.
Among those in the balloon were Mrs.
J. Dlnsall of this city, Edward G. Dud-

ENDED LAST SATURDAY NIGHT.

ton OF Midnight and the Lights i'm
Were SOunded-Will he About
100000 Loss.

Buffalo, Nov. 4.-The Pan American
exposition ended at II o'clock Saturday
night. At midnight President John G.
Milburn pressed an electric button and
the lights in the famous electric tower
grew dim for the last time. Slowly, one
by one, the lights on post and pinnacles
of the tower faded away. corps of
buglers standing on the tower sounded
"taps," and one of the greatest glories of
the exposition, the electrical illumina-
ton, passed away and the exposition was
ended. The exposition has not been a
financial success, but it is believed the
benefits derived from it will be of great
value to the commercial interests of the
country. The primary object of the ex-
position was to advance friendly relations
between the United States and the coun.
tries of the two Americas.
The financial loss will be in the neigh
borhood Of 100000. The statement to
be issued by the officers of the exposition
setting forth the expenditures and re-
ceipts win be made public some time
this month. Until then the company will
make no formal statement.
The loss win fall upon the holders Of
the common stock, the holders of second
mortgage bonds and the contractors who
erected the buildings. Two hundred and
ten thousand shares of common stock
were sold at $40 share. The stock was
subscribed for by the citizens of Buffalo
and the Niagara frontier in small lots
of from one share to 100, 20 that the
loss will not be seriously felt by any one.
No complaint has been heard by the
holders of common stock, who appreciate
the benefit the exposition has been to the
city. There is also feeling of satisfac-
ton that the enterprise was carried to a
successful end without state or federal
aid. The first mortgage bonds, amount
ing to $500 900, will be paid in full. An
issue of $500, 900 second mortgage bonds
is unproyided for, but the revenue from
salvage and buildings and from other
sources will probably cover part of this
indebtedness The remainder due to con-
tractors is not definitely known, but It is
said that it represents their profits for
the work done, and no one will be seri-
ously embarrassed by the loss.

of West End and West Ninth streets,
and will use it for sci DOL purposes. 1t
was not just what he wanted, either
as to location or building, but after a

get so he accepted it, and will remodel
the house at his own expense to suit
the purpose, and begin his high grade
school for boys, about the first Monday
in September.
Prof. Ford while here spent nearly
all his time looking for a location for
his school and did very little canvass

highly satisfactory and he left feeling
greatly encouraged over the outlook
Prof Ford left Monday for his home
in Lexington, KY, to wind up his
affairs there, and will return here with

They will keep house in the Dunning-
