Mayor Dick Issues Proclamation to
All the People Of Ardmore.

Mayor Dick Issues Proclamation to
All the People Of Ardmore.
History proves that failure and dis
aster have always overtaken those
countries which forget their depend
ence upon God and withhold from Him
their homage The people Of the Unit.
ed States, mindful of this fact, have
from the very beginning Of their ma
tional life and history honored and
reverenced God as the divine. just
and supreme ruler Of the world With
hearts and minds burning with patriot
ism and philanthropy. and dedicated
to His service, the pilgrim fathers
planted at Plymouth in 1920 the germ
Of civil and religious liberty from
which, under Gods favor, has grown
this, the American republic-the best
and most powerful government known
to the world. The custom, therefore.
Of setting apart a day when the entire
citizenship of the commonwealth Is
asked to ofter united praise and
thankfulness to the Creator of all for
His goodness and mercy. is a rule
highly becoming that Christian civili.
zatlon now and always enjoyed by the
people of this city and nation.
The year which is drawing to a
close has brought untold blessings to
the people Of Ardmore. for which they
should feel profoundly and humbly
thankful, and In recognition of all
those favors bestowed in love and
mercy by the great Heavenly Father.
do hereby recommend Thursday.
November q. 1902, as a day of thanks
giving and prayer, and that the peo-
pie of the city. without reference to
creed, shall desist from all labor and
business and assemble at their respec-
tive places Of worship, or in the home
circle, and render thanks to God for
His manifold blessings vouchsafed to
them individually as well as to the
city and nation.
In thus rendering thankfulness TO
the Great Ruler, let those whom He
has literally favored with health and
prosperity make generous gifts to the
poor and needy.
In testimony whereof, I have here.
unto set my hand and caused the seal
Of the city of Ardmore to be affixed.
Done at the mayors office in the city
of Ardmore, Indian Territory, this the
Gath day of November, in the year OF
our Lord, 1902.

WRITING The SERMON.

Performing This Task.

Fridny l. the minister's nay For
Performing This Task.
Probably few Of the good people who
listen with rupt attention to the ser
mon which Is preached to them each
Sunday. says the Denver Post. know
that for nearly 800 years Friday has
been the tune houorel day for the pas
tor to 20 into his study, write the ser
mon which is to furnish food for
thought" to the congregation on the
following Sunday. In speaking Of this
custom clergyman says:
when Christianity was first promul-
gated, all preaching was done extern
poraneously. Such thing as prepar-
ing a sermon was unknown. Many
gifted men expressed their views on
various subjects. then added few
words OF good advice to their listeners.
This practice Is still continued in the
Roman Catholic church of the present
day, and | think that a very limited
number OF the priests ever write a ser.
mon. Not all ministers, however, ad.
here TO this rule 10y any means. When
Henry Word Beecher was asked on
what day he prepared his sermon, he
replied, on Sunday morning, OF
course
"'Well, Mr.. Beecher, don't you think
that is rather dilatory habit for you
TO get intoT asked another.
oh. no, not at all,' replied Mr.
Beecher in his quick way. You see.
look at & sermon like some do on a pan
cake. They can be served hot or cold
and like mine hot; that's ALL"

In his sermon at the Reformed
Dutch church in New York the Rev.
James c. Hume took occasion to de.
nounce open-work hosiery He said
'the woman addicted to the open-work
habit is flirting with Satan, and she
who puts her foot into a stocking of
fiashy colors is taking a long step in
the direction of perdition." Rev.
Hume does not preach there any more.

The Muskogee Times expresses a
great deal in a few words as follows:
Because there is no one in the In
dian Territory who has the power to
issue Thanksgiving proclamation
win not keep the people from return
ing thanks for the blessings of the

100000 people in this country without
sufficient form of government to give
anyone even the power to issue a
Thanksgiving proclamation"

A curious thing has been discov-
cred in connection with the loan item
in bank statements of the clearing
house institutions 1t has been dis.
closed that loans have only decreased
about 100000 during the last sixty
tays, whereas It is definitely known
that commission houses and specula-
tors have paid off loans in that period
to the amount of hundreds of millions
Of dollars. The unavoidable INFER.
ence is that the money thus wrested
from the public and the gambling ele-
ment has been transferred to the ac-
counts of the underwriting syndlcates
and speculative combinations. They
have been given all the protection
needed and weekly margin accounts
having been weeded out and extin.
guished, the conclusion is Irresistible
that the market is very much strong
er than before. II is not a pleasant
thought TO spectators that they have
been sacrificed to strengthen the syn
dicates and underwriters, but such ap.
pears to be the case, however much
they may grumble and complain about

Mr.. Morgan is paying the penalty
Of greatness by having his footsteps
logged day and night be detectives
employed by various interests who
have deep concern over the state Of
his health. His life is insured in the
British Lloyds for enormous sums as
hedges against slumps which might
occur in the event of his death. This
fact creates the need of instantaneous
knowledge Of any mishaps or illness
which might befall the financier. Mr.
Morgan has become weary of this
eternal espionage and the authorities
are doing the best they can to afford
him relief. II is a curious situation
and Wall street rather enjoys it.

OUR WALL STREET LETTER.
CBy w. @. Nicholas)

New York. Nov. 22.-The terrific
slump in the stock market has been
distinguished from any other season
OF liquidation by the fact that those
who were hurt were the ilch men.
It has been dlstinctlvely a ri h mems
sacrifice. The great multitu0es were
not in the market and consequently
not in a position TO be hurt IT, mil
llonaires and multi-millionaires, most
OF them. we're more or less dana ged
as to their pocketbooks. The liqu.la-
ton which has been in progress for
sixty days has enabled market stu
dents TO take something like a meas
ure of the enormous speculative com
mtments OF the wealthy classes. Sin
gle brokerage houses have unloaded
as much as 100000 shares. Dozens Of
them liquidated 25O.OOO to 100000
hares. Individual operators we're
caught when the market began TO
break with lines ranging from 10O.-
600 TO 6OO,OOO shares scattered about
the street" One house has paid Of
loans since the first Of September
amounting to over s1OO.OO0OOO. The
big fellows have shown more vicious
ness during the week than has been
witnessed in Wall street since the
May panic Of 1901 II has been a sea
son OF ugly reprlsal and discipline.
Every multi-mlllionaire with a grudge
sought for the weak spots in the ar
NOR Of his enemies and inflicted such
punishment as might be possible. No
quarter was shown, so far as can be
seen. there is no sense OF remorse
over the punishment inflicted or fnan-
clal butcheries committed.

The persifage of some Of the shops
where the trade is with the poor Is not
without its humor. Into Fifth ave-
nue. butchers establishment there came
the other day little girl Of the tene-
mAnts. She had large hat with 9
feather-evidently the product of some
ill-conceived charity bo1-and little
shawl was thinly covering her shoul
ders. She carried small brown paper
parcel.
"Please, Mr.. Schmidt" she began,
showing this across the counter to him,
my mother says this ten cents worth
of steak amt thick enough. You have
q right to send her thicker piece"
"T have, have II" growled Mr..
Schmidt, opening the parcel and look
ing sternly and suspicfously at the re-
turned meat. Then he went to the till
and produced dime.
"There, take that to your mother"
he said, "and tell her If that's thicker,
she'd better keep it."!New York News.
