FEAST AND FUN
FOR NEWSB0YS
Youngsters Provided With All
Sorts of Enjoyment.
GREAT BIG TURKEY DINNER
FOLLOWED BY FOOTBALL AND
THE THEATRE.

Sc surfeited with pleasure were the
200 newsboys Of salt Lake yesterday
that is is doubtful whether they could
stand up under many Thanksgiving
days in rapid succession. Their ex-
periences yesterday gave them assur-
anoe Of the good viii Of the people
who have hope in their future success
as men. and without doubt the boys
viii ever remember the day as one Of
the very happiest in their lives. For
them it was one continual round Of
pleasure and feast Of good things from
early morning till long after their ac-
customed bedtime. IF there is a scare
ity Of newsboys around town this
morning it need not occasion serious
concern
The forenoon was given up to a
cheering of the newspaper offices and
serenading generous citizens who had
made it possible for the lads to enjoy
themselves as did the sons Of parents
in better circumstances. But many of
the hungry urchins grew weary of the
time that interviewed until dinner hour,
and as the moments went by the
crowd in front Of Bonds restaurant
increased. At 1890 il was a mob. hun
cry and good natured, and then the
doors were thrown open to the 200
boys, who were in charge Of Mr.. Book
er. Never before were so many news
boys gathered in this city. They were
well behaved, but noisy. Who could
blame them? What feast! Turkey
and every tempting thing mentionable
to eat loaded the tables. The boys
Of IL g.
ing that many Of them had never even
dreamed Of so many good things.
For an hour and a half they Toasted.
There was plenty to eat besides roast
turkey, but nearly every one of the
boys cared only for turkey, and they
were permitted to gorge themselves.
In the midst of the dinner their pic
lures were taken.
At o'clock q was time to go to the
football game. Just outside the res
taurant the boys were given oranges.
1t was a scramble and a number of
generous men added interest to the
occasion by throwing silver coins into
the crowd.
Free rides and free tickets took the
boys into the football campus They
watched the game intently and joined
in the noisy demonstrations. In the
evening, still feeling that they owned
the town, the boys were admitted to
the Salt Lake theatre. They had an
entire section of one Of the upper gal
leries to themselves. Everybody down.
stairs knew that they were enjoying
the play to the limit. It is not to be
wondered at that if in their dreams
the newsbOys fancied themselves men
and vying with each other in making
Thanksgiving day full Of joy for the
future newsboys Of the town.

Special ThanlCsgi ing services were
held in St Mary's cathedral yesterday
morning. Mass was celebrated at 1880,
followed at O'Clock by services spe-
cially commemorative the day. The
music was rendered by the st. Ce-
Gillian choir of the cathedral. The ser
mon preachef by RL Rev. Bishop
Seaman was an eloquent expression of
the lesson taught by the national
Thanksgiving. Evidently having in
mind the deeds Of bounteous charity
praoticed On this day, the bishop said
that while people in humble circum-
stances doubtless regret their poverty,
they are thankful for the good things
shOwered upon them. and the rich are
thankful that they have the oppOrtu-
nifty to bring happiness for a day at
least 10 their less fortunate fellows.

Expected Reduction In Number
of Travelling Agents.
%@~
RESULT OF THE COMBINES
INTERMoUNTAIN EMPLOYEES
COMPARATIVELY SECURE.

The fate Of thousands Of travelling
freight and passenger agents is said to
be trembling in the balance, and much
is thought to depend on the meeting OF
the presidents of western roads in New
York on Dec. 4. The employees Of the
Rio Crande Western and other roads
that have been affected by the various
consultations are looking forward with
the keenest interest to some kind of an
announcement, following this meeting.
The general opinion is that many
travelling agents are to lose their 20
sitions, but nobody dares to say how
soon. Competition is still keen in this
territory, and the advent of new roads
is likely to make it keener. For this
reason the agents in the intermOuntain
territory, with headquarters at salt
Lake, have reason to feel somewhat
easier than their brethren at points
where competition has been largely
eliminated, such as the territory af-
fected by the northwestern combina-
ton.
The action OF the eastern trunk lines
in cutting down the passes will in
crease the expenses of travelling agents
as has been explained, and this is taken
to be an influence against their con-
tinued tenure. On the other hand,
where the policy Of roads entering GER
tain territory has not extended beyond
community of interests" to practical
consolidation, the struggle for business
IS stu keen. The Oregon Short Line
and the Rio Grande Western are still
looking out each for itself in a lively
manner, and a similar situation in traf-
fc affairs exists elsewhere. AS a re-
suit the belief in the best-infOrmed cir
cles is that the reduction in the num-
Der Of travelling agents will be gradual
rather than revolutionary. With pros
perity and immense traffic and rail-
road extension and expansion cOntinu
ing, it is believed that new places can
gradually be made for the travelling
agents where they viii be just as use
full as at present. This is an opinion
held by many who are close to the
great financiers who control the rail-
road situation over the greater part Of
the United States.

At st. Paul's Episcopal church the
usual Thanksgiving service was OBJ
served and a sermon on the observ-
alce Of the day was preached at Il

Walker. He argued that through the
growing worldliness Of the people, the
religious character of the day had
largely been lost sight OF; the average
man was brought into such close re-
latiOnship with the secondary or tenn
poral affairs Of existence, that he finds
little time and haS little thought for
the real cause Of his existence and
success in life. It was we'll to pause
and reflect on Thanksgiving day; to
inquire. us this Gods world. or not2

thankfulness, marked the lowest type
Of human depravity. It was the duty

ADDRESS By JUDGE KING.
Spoke Of the Proud Position of the
American Nation.


The people of the Second ward as
sembIed in their meeting house yes
terday forenoon to participate in spe-
cial Thanksgiving services. Every seat
in the auditorium was occupied. Fol-
lowing prayer by Seymour B. Young
aa1 a number Of musical selections ap-
propriate to the day, Judge William H.
King delivered an address which was
full OF lofty sentiments
As a preliminary, the speaker men
toned the characteristic of the Amer
lean people to treat toe lightly the Sc
riOUs problems of life. This is not to
be wondered at, the judge remarked,
for the American is a composite Of all
nations and embodies the virtues and
frailties Of the people OF the ola world.
But for all this Judge King expressed
the belief that the civilization of the
world is progressing in desirable di-
reCtiOns, and that the sunshine Of
knowledge and power iIlumines the
paths of mankind more than ever be-
fore
Leading up to a dissertation of the
causes which led the Pilgrims to the
bleak shores Of New England, where
the first Thanksgiving day was cele-
brated, Judge King spoke of the happy

which, he said, is standing sublimely
upon the glittering heights of the
worlds greatest civilization and to
know that the people can assemble to
worship according to the dictates Of
their own conscience must surely be
cause for thanksgiving
Coming to events nearer home, the
speaker mentioned many reasons why
the people Of Utah should give thanks
for the solid foundation laid by the
pioneers to make this a CREST and rich
state. In the mind of Judge King all
the world is destined TO attain the
highest plane Of civilization, when each
man shall love God with all his heart
and his neighbor as himself.
Following the address a couple Of
musical selections were rendered by a
male quartette and John Robinson, and
the services came to a close by bene-
dictiOn by Bishop Iverson.

others Of the convicts, and they Joined
with the older inmates in giving real
thanks for what the day had brought.

GOVERNOR VAN SAINTS FIGHT.
Letter Sent to Governors Of North
western States,

LSLhSt s9Snb 70 GONSInOIS VI IsOILn-
western States.
st. Paul, Mimi, Nov. 2S.-The text
Of the letters written by Governor Van
SAINT to the governors of North Da-
kota, Montana, Idaho, and Washing
ton was substantially the same as
the following copy of one to Governor
Frank White Of North Dakota:
mo doubt your attention has been
called to the organization under the
laws Of New Jersey of a corporation
known as the Northern Securities
company. and to the public announce
ment that it is the declared intention
of this corporation, as we'll as the
avowed object of its existence, to Sc
cure the control and management Of
the three great railways owned by the
Great Northern, Northern Pacific, and
Chicago, Burlington & Quincy COM
panies.
such consolidation control as is
said to be in contemplation is not
only in direct violation of the laws of
Minnesota, and Of your state as well,
but is a startling menace to the COM
mon welfare of the immense territory
Of the railway lines mentioned.
THE legislature of Minnesota, be-
lieving that the abolition of competi
ton between parallel lines of railways
in this state will be injurious to the
best interests of our citizens and hos
tile to the public welfare, had adopted
stringent laws to prevent any combi-
nation or singular ownership or con-
troll Of parallel or competing lines that
would in any degree hamper or re-
strict the most open and free compe
tition in the establishment OF rates. It
being the evident purpose Of the
Northern Securities company TO eff
feet the consolidation or unity of own
ership and control mentioned, ] deem
it my plain duty as governor of Mime
sofa to do everything in my power to
enforce the laws and prevent any
such consultations.
Il believe that the interests of the
people, as well as the public welfare
of your state. are alike with those Of
this state in this matter. and such be-
ing the case, more beneficial results
can be secured by cooperative action
between and among the states men
toned, so far as such action is feas-
ible. Such belief prompts me to sug-
gest to you the advisability of con-
ference on this subject, at such time
and place as may be agreeable to you,
as well as free expression of opinion on
this matter by correspondence.
Il shall be very glad. indeed, to re-
ceive your views on this subject or
any suggestion you may be pleased to
offer in relation thereto"
Governor Van SAINT today received a
reply from Governor White Of North
Dakota to his letter regarding the ad-
visibility of holding a conference of
northwestern governors to devise ways
and means for preventing the cOnsol-
idation of the Northern Pacific, Great
Northern and Burlington systems.
Governor White declares himself in
sympathy with the project. While his
state, he says, has few laws covering
the question, there is q constitutional
proposition against the consolidation of
parallel and competing lines. He ex-
presses a willingness to meet and con-
fer with Governor Van SAINT and other
governors, at whatever time and place
that may be selected.
