THANKSGIVING WEATHER.
Washington Puts on Garb Typical o
the Season.

Washington Puts on Garb Typical OF
the Season.
Washington was particularly favored by
the weather clerk this morning i'll antici-
patton of the citys observance of Thanks
giving day According to the weather bu-
reau the capital is the only city south Of
the regular November snow area to put on
true Thanksgiving-day garb. Even Balti-
more has green Thanksgiving and south
Of Washington, almost within sight of the
Potomac, the fields are as bare of snow as
they are during harvest.
The only other snowareported on today's
weather map fell over the greater portion
of the lake region, New England and the
western mountain slopes of Pennsylvania
and West Virginia. ~ In the north snow
has been on the ground several weeks,
and the recent fall has only added an inch
or two to it's thickness.
South of the lakes the air and ground
have been prime for snow fall. The
temperature in the whole Atlantic and
lower lake region has been from 10 to p
degrees below the seasonal average. In
Washington today, for example, it was %
degrees above zero at O'Clock in the
morning. rose to 81 degrees before noon
and is expected to pass the freezing point,
or, in this instance the melting point, some
time during the afternoon. But ordinarily
THANKSGIVING day, in the District of CO.
lumbia would not keep snow on the ground
after 10 clock in the morning.
1t is possible that! this, years adventi-
tious snow blanket may. last for several
days Even if it melts on the streets and
tin roofs today it will lie on the open
ground for at least forty eight hours, or
the. forecast of the weather bureau will
prove wholly incorrect. The capital is as
sured that the weather will continue fair
and cold tonight and Friday in the middle
and south Atlantic and east gulf states
and partly cloudy and cold tonight in the
lower lake region, followed by rising tenn
perature Friday" This temperature will
be accompanied by fresh northerly winds
to swirl the snow all over the hills Of the
District and turn autumn into the SEM
blance of winter at least.
No reports from nearby observing sta
tions indicate that the Washington snow
has extended beyond the Washington city
observing district. Indeed, it is believed at
the bureau that the whole area covered is
less than twenty-five miles square. The
snow began to make the city ready for
Thanksgiving shortly after midnight, 'and
the fall is thought to have continued for
a little more than an hour.

HOW THE DAY is OBSERVED
THANKSGIVING STORIES FROM THE
DISTRICT INSTITUTIONS.
Services at Reform School-A Bounti-
fui Feast Mt st. EIiznbeth's-
Dull ut the Jail.

AT the District reform school today
Thanksgiving exercises We're held in the
| central hall at 10 o'clock, conducted by Mr..
| IT, A. Saallenberger, the superintendent.
! After the services the boys were ushered
| INTO the dining room, where the tables fair
| iy groaned beneath the weight OF turkey,
| CRANBERRY sauce and innumerable good
| things. The boys are in fine health, all of
them, it is stated, and the present Thanks
! giving is one of the brightest the institution
| has ever known. The dinner was said TO
surpass in excellence.
| During the Thanksgiving services Super
intcndent Shallenberger read to the young
sters the Presidents proclamation In re-
gard to Thanksgiving day. He endeavored
| TO impress upon his youthful auditors the
| meaning of Thanksgiving day and to at
tract their attention wildly to the reasons
| for giving thanks as expressed by Mr..
Roosevelt. Mr.. Shallenberger read ex-
| cerpts from the Old Testament The boys
| sang several national hymns, after which
| the superintendent recounted to them sto-
ries of ancient Thanksgiving days. incud-
ing the first one celebrated in this country
by the pilgrims.
At st. Elixabeth's Asylum.
| The Thanksgiving day dinner served at
st. Elizabeth's Asylum for the Insane was
| on the customary generous scale of the sea-
| employees partook of the sumptuous fare at
noon. For several days the asylum kitch-
ems have presented a busy scene with the
force engaged in preparing for the Thanks
giving repast. Over 800 mnce pies were
baked there. while several barrels of cram
berries and a thousand punches Of celery
were used to make up the food accompany
ing the $500 pounds of turkey that had
been purchased to form the principal dish
of the day. Several barrels Of cider were
tapped and many bushels of apples dis
tributed. When the meal had been pre-
pared it was sent out to the various ward
rooms and dining halls to be enjoyed thor
oughly by the many inmates and the en-
ployes of the inside force. Tonight the first
dance of the season will be held in the
chapel hall.
At the Jail and WOrkhouse.
Thanksgiving day did not interfere with
the dull routine of life within the brown
stone walls Of the District jail. It was
stated there today that the prisoners were
treated to no extra fare, but received the
same substantial dinner which is daily
served to them. There were many visitors
TO the institution. however and the preach
ers who are often seen in the corridors
talking to the prisoners made their daily
rounds.
At the workhouse Thanksgiving cheer
was as conspicuous by its absence as at the
jail Turkey did not extend it's reign to
this correctional institution and the inmates
had to content themselves with thoughts of
being free when Thanksgiving next rolls
around and Of contemplating the amount of
bird they would then devour. The day was
quiet one.
