Thanksgiving Proclamation.

Washington, Oct. 20.-Presidcnt Roose-
welt today issued his proclamation designat'
ing Thursday, November 81, as a Gay of
thanksgiving. The proclamation is as fol-
lows:
According to the yearly custom of our
people, it falls upon the President at this sea-
son to appoint day Of festival and thanks
giving to God.
oyer century and quarter has passed
since this country took its place among the
nations of the earth, and during that time
we have had on the whole more to be thank
full for than has fallen to the lot of any other
people. Generation after generation has
grown to manhood and passed away. Each
has had to bear its peculiar burdens, each to
face its special crises, and each has known
years of grim trial. When the country was
menaced by malice domestic or foreign levy;
when the hand of the Lord was heavy upon
it in drouth or food or pestileuce; when in
bodily distress and anguish of soul, it paid
the penalty of folly and froward heart
Nevertheless, decade by decade, we have
struggled onward and upward; we now
abundantly enjoy material well being, and
under the favor of the Most High we are
striving earnestly to achieve moral and spir-
itual uplifting. The year that has just closed
has been one of peace and of Overlooking
plenty. Rarely hus any people enjoyed
greater prosperity than we are now enjoying
For this we render heartfelt and solemn
thanks TO the Oliver of Good, and we seek to
praise Him not by words only, but by deeds
by the way in which we do our duty to our
selves and to our fellow men,
"Now, therefore, l, Theodore Roosevelt
President of the United States, do hereby
designate as day Of general thanksgiving,
Thursday, the 9th of the coming November
| and do recommend that throughout the land
the people cease from their ordinary occu-
pations, aud in their several homes and
places of worship render thanks unto AL
mighty God for the manifold blessings of the
past year.
"tn witness whereof have hereunto SCI
nv hand and caused the seal of the United
| States to be affixed.
"Done at the city of Washington this 29tf
day of October, in the year of our Lord, ont

Indian Weather Prophet.

The Indian is believed to be the most rel-
able long distance weather prophet that we
have, having only natures signs to guide
him. He is a close observer of animal life
and it is believed by many that they are guild
ed by an uuerring instinct, even to the ex-
tent of making provisions for coming win
ter.
We have before us an item taken from the
St. Joe, (Mlch) Press, in which an interview
with Mackev Shawgoguet, one of the great
est of the Pottawat,omie indian weather
prophet, appears. He says:
II see 'em many coon an he all poor; no
fat on him. Coon live out. Don't want him
any nest for winter. Musk rat don't want
him any house. He tear 'em all down. Go.
ing to be warm"
We shall be pleased to have report from
some of our local coon hunters; if they find
the coons in this section fat, then we may
look for colder weather than is promised to

The Election.

Election day here, 10 the matter of wealth
er, was all that one could wish; warm, dry
and calm The light vote during the first
seven of the ten hours was probably attrlbu-
table to this at 2 O'Clock considerably less
than one.half of the registered vote had been
cast, but from that hour the voting was rap
id, as it usually is here during the last hour
or two and brought the total up to 500.
The count was made with but little unne-
cessary delay and was finished at $50.
THE RESULT.
PEARRE, Rep. BAL
KENNEWEG, Dem. 1879
Republican Plurality, 2l2
HOPKINS, Pro. Is
Number of ballots defective, II
Total number of ballots cast, 5O2
In this State the democrats gain two con-
gressmen, Talbot in the second and Denny
in the fourth; IN the third district the vote is
very close between Wacbter, republican and
Never, democrat, with the doubt i'll favor of
the former.
The sixth district gives Mr.. Pearre an in
creased majority, approaching 1000.
BY counties in this State, the republicans
are winners In the proportion of Is to 7,with
st. Mary's certainly republican, to hear from.
The State is, in round numbers, 5000 repub-
lican majority, of which this county contrib
utes about 1000 and the sixth congressional
district about 1000. Baltimore city is vlrtu
ally tie, the latest obtanabe figures on the
vote as cast in that city, divided between the
second, third, fourth and fifth congressional
districts showing a republican maj 'rlty be.
tween 200 and 800.
At large the result will be close vote in
the House of Representatives and loss of
about four in the republican majority in the
Senate, reducing it from 20 to l6 probably.
Odell, republican. is elected in New York
by probably less than 5000 as against ILL.,,
1875 in 1900; Coler carried Greater New York
by the record breaking majority OF 122,475,
but the State sent in sufficient to overcome
1t,
Pennsylvania is republican by anywhere
from 10000 to 5000.
Delaware has gone anti Addicks, which
probably means one republican and one
democratic U. ). senator from that State,
the democratic congressman being elected.
The solid republican W. Va. delegation
has been broken by the election of McGraw,
democrat.
The democrats lose congressman in Vir.
ginia.
In the north and northwest the republi
cans have fully maintained their ground and
the same may be said of the democrats in the
south and southwest, the reduction in the
republican majority in Congress coming
largely in the Middle States and by the dem.
ocrats securing some advantage in the %
increased membership Of the House, under
the new apportionment.
One of the really interesting things about
the election is the verifcaton of the pre-
election estimates of two great daily papers
the New York Herald aud New York World
Their estimates are proven to have been
markedly accurate, not simply in the matter
of general results, but in State after State do
we find their predictions verified This work
was done as piece of business, wholly un'
influenced by partisan feeling and as fully
and completely as liberal expenditure Of
money could accomplish.
