THANKFUL THAT THEY WILL
HAVE A SOBER THANKSGIVING

At a meeting of the Reform Club last
night in Curtis Hall, after the reading
of the Scriptures and prayer, President
w. H. Robinson announced that Rev.
Vincent e. Tomlinson of the First Uni
versalist Church would address the
meeting Of the club Sunday night on
the subject of mo License" He re-
ferred to Thanksgiving week, and said
that he. at least, had reason to be
thankful for being enabled to overcome
the drink habit.
]. Commit said that the worst evil of
the country was the saloon. He hoped
the city would go no license. Absti-
hence makes for health and prosperity
and drink is against both.
]. O'Connor said he was going to vote
No" and believed that he would be
on the winning side. J. Gibson spoke
in the same strain. Lucius Paige said
he would have something to be thank
full for this Thanksgiving-he would be
sober. David Lynch thanked the club
for the kind way in which it had treat
ed him since he Joined.
]. E. Mayhem said he had a cold
which was due to rum. He had had to
get up in the night time to induce a
drunken man to use his latch key on
his own. rather than on another mans
door. G. w. H. Nichols said he was
thankful to have been able to keep his
pledge and would pass a sober Thanks
giving. Mrs. G. H. Nichols sang
Scatter Seeds of Kindness"
Alec Comrie said that the saloon
keepers are getting scared and that
they are going to come out boldly and
show the city the reasons why it should
vote yes. One of the reasons is that
the saloon encourages trade. This
statement, he said is so exceedingly
, far fetched that it is not even worth an
answer. The only things that the sa-
loon does encourage are custom to it
self and misery crime and starvation
to thousands of homes.
Peter Lynch spoke on no license. He
claimed that the saloon as an institu-
ton educates young men in such a way
that it crowds out all the good instilleJ
into them by the public schools No
man who processes to be a Christian
can conscientiously vote yes.

CENTENNIAL VOYAGE
ACROSS THE ATLANTIC

New York, Nov. 23.-The Cunard line
steamer Campania, Capt. Walker, ar
rived at quarantine at 100 p. H., today,
on her centennial voyage across the
Atlantic, after a most tempestuous
passage which ended last evening at
the Sandy Hook Lightship in the teeth
of a very heavy northeast gale
The Campania was detained at Liv-
erpool by fog until $50 a. M, last sun
day morning. During the entire pas
sage q succession of hard gales and
high seas were encountered. On APP
preaching this coast the wind shifted
from the northwest to north northeast
and blew a strong gale with heavy
seas and rain squat. Sandy Hook
Lightship was reached at $40 .. m.
The weather being thick and stormy,
Capt. Walker decided to remain out
side and the big liner cast her anchor
at 10. 45 p. m.
Shortly after the starboard anchor
was let go, a cable parted and the an
Choir was lost with about $50 fathoms
of chain. The usual concert was given
on board the Campania Friday even
ing for the benefit of the United Sea-
mems Home at which John Lowles
presided. The handsome sum of f10C
was collected for these charities.
Can't. w. H. Walker was also pres
ented with a set of resolutions by the
saloon passengers for bringing the
steamer safely to port after an exceed
ingly rough and stormy voyage.

Dickinson having refused its nomina-
ton Maiden has a straight Repubi-
can candidate for mayor in her present
executive, Hon Charles L. Dean, but
it is not thought that he will be OPP

of Mayor Rabbit of Fitchburg to secure

of comment; while speculation is rife
as to whether the Heart of the Com

The official vote of the state has been
counted this week, and will be declared
at the meeting of the executive coun-
ell on Wednesday. 1t seems to cause
more interest in Ohio than in Massa-

test as to the total vote in that state,
and the Secretary of the Common

quests for the figures.

A VISIONARY DREAM

Port Townsend, Wash, Nov. 24.-The
story of the proposed instruction in
the Yukon country, and the plan to
seize the country has not yet reached

contemplated, and they pronounced the
report a visionary dream.

HIGH TIDE DELAYED
MOVING OF FREIGHT
First Train to Leave the Yards
Under the Direction of the Old
Men Went Out at | O'clock and
the Men Lined Up Along the
Track and Cheered

New York, Nov. 24.-There was Al
rush of business at the Harlem River
yards of the New York, New Haven
& Hartford Railroad today for at 10
o clock in the morning all the men who
went on strike last Tuesday went back
to work. Cars were shunted from track
to track, and, although the rain made
the scene dreary, the voices of the men
as they shouted to each other on the
trains and the putting of the locomo-
tives gave everything a different ap-
pearance from what has obtained for
the last few days.
The work was somewhat interrupted
by the already high tide in the Harlem
River caused by the storm. The aver
age rise of the Harlem River from low
to high water is about five feet. Today
the tide rose about three feet above
the average.
At noon the tide receded somewhat
and four floats containing 16 cars each
were landed at the yards. These floats
came from the depots in Jersey City
and were loaded with perishabIe
freight. Eleven cars full of poultry
were at once made up into a train and
started for the East.
The first train to leave the Yards
under the direction of the old men left
at l o'clock and the men lined up
along the track cheering. The head
quarters of the strikers was deserted
all day giving evidence that the strike
is over.
Forty cars arrived at the yard from
New Haven at o'clock this afternoon
and were shipped away on floats i'm
mediately.
