lodge being formed. This committee Sc

volunteer corps to serve the dinner The
committee procured the names of worthy
poor from the charitable institutions and
the township trustees and issued Invitations
to them to attend. The committee also
gathered a great quantity of clothing
which was given to those who could use
the articles.
Over seven hundred people received their
Thanksgiving dinner through this agency.
OF this number five hundred were fed at
the room and the others received their
dinners by delivery. The dinner consisted
of turkey and 'trimmins." vegetables cof-

REMEMBERED ITS POOR.


The Salvation Army did not attempt e
Thanksgiving dinner, but did remember
some of its poor with baskets of provi-
sions. Staff Captain Atkins said the army

that would be beneficial for a charitable
purpose. The army receives clothing and

this is no occasion for pessimism, but an
occasion especially designed for thanks
giving and praise to Him from whom all
our blessings come.
Whatever clouds may have Swallowed
our pathway, whatever evils wrought IN
our individual, social or national life, and
day for intense and abiding gratitude.
Nothing is more fitting. and no sign more
hopeful, than this nation to-day on Bonded
knee before God.
while we do most reverently and de-
voutly thank God for a bountiful har-
vest of rich fruit and ripened grain, and
not falling either to calculate the proceeds
from our flocks, our herds and our mines
(yet forgetting, IL possible, for the time
the recent great coal strike) and keeping
before us the great and important matter OF
that the thanksgiving of this hour will be
deepened, and the future of all our lives
frightened, If we shall occupy the time
mainly In getting better hold on the
principles underlying this national day, or
any other day, or time set apart for IKE
holy purpose"
day was but the expression of gratitude
of the men of the earth to God for His
goodness to them. Gratitude is a condi-
ton of heart induced from sense of bless
ings," said Mr.. circuit.
Thanksgiving is an expression of graf
itude. Gratitude is condition of heart
induced from a sense ,,, OF blessings IRE, re-
from whom our favors come Hence,
thankfulness or gratitude both engenders
and promotes sense of responsibility.
And this sense of responsibility is the
motor power of duty. Not only does
thankfulneSs generate the idea of respon-
sibility, but through responsibility is de-
veoped depth and richness of character.
Hence nobleness in manhood and woman
hood he said.
Mr.. circuit said the principles of thanks
giving when applied to man induced a
change in temperament. When man is
truly grateful for blessings he is speedily
induced TO earn them. In speaking of this
Mr.. circuit alluded to the mayor of Indi-
annapolis, and said:
APPLY these principles to the individual
| and a noble Christian character will be
| the result. Apply them to the family and
| peace and harmony will ever reign. Apply
| them to the municipality, to the city of
| Indianapolis, and if Mayor Bookwalter
| does not experience the change of a Won
| derful conversion before the next city
| election, another man will thereafter draw
| the mayors salary.
apply these principles to the affairs of
! our national government and our President
| will be at the head of nation whose God
| is the Lord. in which nation govern
ment neither Doodle. politics nor saloon
anarchy will longer hold sway. We mean to
understand what we do, and to do what
| we mean"

Sermon at East Washington-Street
Presbyterian Church.

The Rev. Gustave Kimmel preached the
sermon at the Thanksgiving service of the
East Washington-street Presbyterian
Church yesterday. Mr.. Kimmel took as
his subject 'Ingratitude." He said ingrati-
tude is one Of the basest of sins. He said
the lack Of appreciation of mercies re-
ceived or of sympathy given on the part
of those we have befriended is more keen
than the winds of winter. He said that
this being true of the earth, what could
be more base than the ingratitude of man
to God when thought is taken of the great
good of God to man? The attempt to count
the blessings of God are futile as the at
tempt of the SMALL boy when he tried to
count the stars, said Mr. Kimmel
In speaking of the thanksgiving time
of the present Mr.. Kimmel said:
Surely as a nation have been a IA
vored people and have abundant reason for
devout thanksgiving. Our country through
out its vast domain has been blessed with
abundant harvests of golden grain and lus-
cious fruits. The gamers of earth's hus-
bandman are bursting with their yellow
treasure. Our shops and mills, our fac
tories and stores, and all our great indus
tries have enjoyed degree of prosperity
unprecedented in our Nations history More
new homes have been built and more of
the comforts, and even many of the lux
ufleS Ol ne, are eHJOyeu Dy the great
masses of the American people than ever
before.
Truly, God has been good to America,
blessed as no other nation with marvellous
and inexhaustible natural resources
blessed with the spirit of industry, thrift
and enterprise, with the love of freedom,
| justice and equality: blessed with abundant
schools and colleges, and churches. hospi-
| tails, orphanages and other benevolent and
| philanthropic institutions. almost without
| number-surely God has not dealt SO with
any other nation.
But dare we for moment suppose that
| He has thus dealt with without a great
purpose, a marvellous design? Nay, verify,
| but all history proves that through the ages
| one increasing purpose runs. and of no ma
| ton has this been so strikingly true and
apparent as in the history of our own be-
loved land. America, in a very special
| sense, is a child of Providence, and God
means for her to play special part in the
| worlds activities.
Not only TO be first in political and COM
| mercial supremacy, but also to be the ag-
| gresSive leader in the great work of in
| structing. enightening. evangeliZing yea,
/ of ChristianizinS the dark nations of the
| earth taking a foremost place in the
mighty onward march of the kingdom OF
| God and carrying the gospel light of truth
/ and love and salvation wherever man is
| found until all the nations of the earth be-
| come the kingdom of our Lord and of His
| Christ"

LARGE SUM INVOLVED
SUIT AGAINST EXECUTORS OF THE
HUNTINGTON ESTATE.
Minor Stockholders of the Central Pa
cific Think They Did Not Get
Their Share of Profits.

In the suit brought in the New York city
Supreme Court by Walter Morshead, a
London lawyer, representing certain minor
ity stockholders of the Central Pacific,
against the executors of the estate OF the
late Coils p. Huntington and the Central
Pacific company, to compel an accounting
and the paying over of the profits made by
Huntington in the manipulation of the
property, Judge Fitzgerald has issued an
order against the directors to show cause
why they should not file an inventory as
prayed for. The hearing in this matter was
to have been proceeded with before the
surrogate Tuesday of the present week,
but was adjourned TO the I'd of December.
The complaint in the case sets out the fact
that Huntington, Leland Stanford, Charles
Croker and Mark Hopkins were the direc-
tors and officers of the Central Pacific, and
to the time of their death were in control
OF its affairs; that Huntington was, further,
the financial agent OF the Central Pacffc
in the East and up to the year 1899 held
power of attorney, vesting in him absolute
control of the cOmpanys affairs; that ne
and his associates organized certain other
companies, known as the Contract and Ill
nance Company, the Western Development
Company, the Pacific Improvement Com
pany, The Pacific Express Company, the
Rocky Mountain Coal Company and others.
companies, controlled by Huntington and
his associates, they were able to and did so
manipulate the business of the Central Pa
cific as to absorb all the profits. 1t is
charged that they thus, from time to time,
delivered to themselves the whole or at
least the greater part of 100000 600 of United
States bonds, as well as the whole or great
er part of the bonds and capital stock Of
the Central Pacific, to the total value of
$l63. O0O,O 600. II is claimed n the complaint
| that the actual cost of the construction OF
the Central Pacific and its leased and aux
Hilary lines did not exceed $60,000,0OO The
difference between this sum and the $685.
100000 alleged to have been diverted from
| the resources of the company represents
| the amount sued for. Whatever may be the
houtcome of the suit, many interesting de-
velopments may be looked for If IL ever
reaches trial on the issues.
Another action is to be brought by the
| same plaintiffs against the Southern Pa
| cific company, which obtained control of
| the Central Pacific of California by having
| its stock transferred TO the Central Pacific
| of Utah, under authority conferred by an
| act of the California Legislature, authoriz-
| ing such sale within period of three years.
| 1t is claimed this law is unconstitutional.
Huntington and his associates al
ways known very shrewd and successful
| manipulators of railroad affairs and all
| succeeded in acquiring large fortunes in a
| short time. The hearing in the pending
| suits will be watched with interest even by
outsiders who may be interested in learn
| ing the royal road to wealth.

Nation, Mr.. Baus said. was the work OF
God and his guidance of the country during
its darkest hours of trouble. He said:
great grand and powerful nation to our
wise statesmen, heroic generals or noble
rulers? They certainly have accomplished
great and wonderful things for our be-
loved country, and really deserve due
credit Yet, to my knowledge, every one
of our noblest and most successful leaders
has recognized God as the great power
back of all success, who endowed them
with sufficient strength and courage to
accomplish what they did. Remember the
inspiring and noble words they left for US
to consider"
He said that in showing our gratitude we
showed that we remembered the blessings
of God. That no other Christian duty is
more neglected than this, Mr.. Baus de-
clared to be a fact He said: I'VE are so
prone to overlook or forget our manifold
blessings, that we often do not realize how
much we have TO be thankful for"

ABUNDANT CAUSE.


Thankful, the Rev. Peter Seul Says.
The Foolish Rich Man" was the subject
of the Thanksgiving sermon preached by
the Rev. Peter Seul at the German Trinity
Evangelical Church, East and New. York
streets, yesterday morning The minister
took for his text the parable of the rich
man who decided to eat, drink and be mer-
ry. In part the Rev. Mr.. Seul said:
mo people on earth seem to have such
abundant cause for THANKSGIVING as we
have Though true Christians remember
this, and give thanks unto the Lord daily.
yet we should willingly unite nations
and observe a special day of thanksgiving
and publicly praise the Lord. We should
not merely make it a day of feasting, or
day of worldly and sinful enjoyment.
but remember that God has given me my
body and soul, and that He preserves and
governs me and all creatures, and that He
defends me against all danger. and guards
and protects me from all evil.
1.-THE more men have. the more they de-
sire. and disquieting care is the common
fruit of abundance of this world. Let us
beware of the folly of the rich man of cur
parable. Ii was no sin to ask: What shall
| do nor TO care for more room TO bestow
his fruit, but being so worldly, selfish,
not considering Gods goodness with graft
tude. nor having any thoughts of the un-
certainty of life and all earthly goods. nor
any care for his immortal soul or the i'm
portance of eternity-this was his great
sin How spiritually blind is he who will
say TO his soul. Soul, thou hast much
goods laid up for many years; take thine
ease. eat and drink and be merry
''Our time is in Gods hands; we do not
know what shall be the morrow. To
indulge and satisfy the sensual appetites
can certainly not satisfy the SOUL
LET us acknowledge Gods grace and
mercy. not only in earthly goods, but more
in things spiritual pertaining to our souls
salvation. Then being true Christians we
will willingly be grateful toward God IS
blessing, thanking Him in our heart, with
our lips and with our whole Christian life
in obedience to His word. Considering
ourselves stewards of God, and serve our
neiEhbor, make use of wealth in help
ing the needy and promuigate the king
dom of our Saviour"

DAVID GARRICK" PRESENTED.
Audience at ". VI. c. A. Pleased with
Mr.. Robinson's representation.

A good-szed audience was given rare
treat last night in the Y. M. c. A. gym
nasium, when Mr.. Melvin Robinson gave a
reading of the comedy, David Garrick,
by T. W. Robertson. The entertainment
was one of the best of the kind ever given
in this city. and was greatly enjoyed by
those present. 1t was given under the d.
rection of the American Lyceum Union.
Mr.. Robinson gave the play of David
Garrick'' from beginning to end, taking the
part of each character. so that one could
easily imagine that the comedy were being
presented by many actors. The part of
Simon Ignot, who desired his daughter to
marry for the sake of the family, was
given with as much ease and grace as that
OF the young girl who loved an actor
against the wishes of her parent. The
reader was as good in one character as an
other. He was, however, especially clever
in the last act of the play. when the father
of Ada Ignot consents TO her marriage with
David Garrick; and the scene in which the
rustic friends OF Ignot appear at his home
for dinner was loudly applauded
Several musical numbers were rendered
before the reading and between the acts.

Gratitude" was the subject of the SER

God ard the benefits Of His blessings TO
the earth would be base ingratitude. Mr..
Baus said, and OF all the debts which
should be paid. the debt of man to his
Maker should be first and always con-
sidered. He said all of us expect gratitude
for favors and yet often fail to give that
which we so zealously covet. He said that
TO our forefathers We should be deeply
grateful for the example they had set for
us In leaving US time for thanksgiving
for the benefits OF the earth and the
progress OF the Nation. The growth OF the
