MRS. THORPE'S DAY.

Mrs. Thorpe is working overtime to-
day. Assisted by her daughter and the
woman who works for her. she is en-
gagged in distributing the good things to
the various poor families in town who
will eat a Thanksgiving dinner as the
result of her efforts in their behalf
The little Office was full of women
and children at o'clock this morning
They sat around the stove and talked
of their ailments or troubles: that is, the
women did, while the children gazed

piled up in the next room which were
being parceled out in baskets
The children were very orderly, and

Come in and get warm; Mrs. Thorpe

lirnped into the office and began to
toast his rheumatic shins by the stove.
Mrs. Thorpe has an Independent phone
in her office, but it seemed this morning
that every one who wished to speak to
her called up on the Bell line, and she
was kept busy running down to the
Jail office. It was intended to deliver
the dinners to the poor with the patrol
wagon but one of the horses was lame
this morning. and express wagons had
to be called.
Mrs. Thorpe also had the job of dis
tributing the provender furnished by
the colored industrial institute. quan-
tity of meat was purchased this morning
to add to the groceries given out, and
although many of the poor families win

day and night to make life less a bur-
den to any deserving person who has
seen the gaunt wolf of famine and hard
luck Her sympathies are not with the
person who is able to work but refuses
to do so, and as she is better posted on
the merits of the poor in Topeka than
any one else, her charity is not mis-
placed. No one who can spare some
thing toward relieving want can do
better than to make her his agent.

SHOOTS NILES.
A 16-Inch Cannon for Coast Defense
in New York.

Albany. N. Y. Nov. 27.-The 16-incn
coast defense gun which was manu-
factured at the Watervliet arsenal has
been shipped TO the Sandy Hook prov
ing grounds, and win reach there some
time Friday. The largest crane in the
world had to be pressed into service to
load the gun on the barge on which it is
being transported down the Hudson
river. Under the direction of Colonel
Farley, commandant at the arsenal. the
gun was loaded on specially con-
structed car weighing "a, ,270 pounds and
where, by means of the crane and a
mammoth derrick. it was swung onto
the barge.
The following are the dimensions of
this great weapon of coast defense:
Length, over ALL 49 feet % inches: di-
es. Its construction was begun May "A.
1898, and it was finished June H. 1902.
Some faint idea of it's power can be OBJ
tanned by the statement that it shoots
a projectiIe weighing 2,S70 pounds a dis
tance of y miles.
If smokeIess powder is used it will re-
quire 576 pounds, or about 1000 pounds
of black powder. The crude steel from
which the gun was assembled weighed
36S, 900 pounds. Tt has cost in meterial
labor and machinery about $150,000. A
large amount of new machinery had to
est cranes in the world. if not the larg-
est one, built to handle it: new lathes
were secured and an immense amount
of new machinery was purchased. The
cost was SO great that it is doubtful if
any more of similar size will be built.
it was the intention of the government
to construct about twenty 16-inch guns,
but the cost has been such that the pro-
ject will probably be abandoned.

NEW Low RECORD.
Silver Declines to a Point Never Be
fore Known.

New York. Nov. 27-Today's further
declines in the price of silver fixed u
new low record in the history of the
world. 1t was much commented upon in
banking circles. causing much uneasi
ness among exporters and merchants of
this city doing business with China and
other points in the far east To bank
ers, however, the most significant news
of the day were the cable advices to
the effect that the Siamese government
had instructed the mint to cease imme-
diately the free coinage of silver. Coin
cldent with the development was the
decline today of silver at Bombay to
a level several points below London.
An interesting feature of the drop in
silver was the advantage reaped by
laundrymen and small merchants of the
Mott street district through being able
TO purchase silver bills at so low a rate.
They fiocked down town today cash in
hand, sending heavy remittances to
friends at home. Most of them were
surprised at the large sums allowed for
the amount turned in.

Betting About Even at the Ann Ar

sides determined to use to its utmost
every ounce of skill and sinew in it's
possession the elevens of the University
of Michigan and the University of Min

Ann Arbor was crowded with an out

beyond precedent. Hotels and boarding
houses were swamped Special trains
from Minnesota brought five hundred
loyal rioters for the beefy gcDhers.
Nearly the whole student body of the
Ann Arbor institution was present. The

effort was made to keep the men from
public view. No interviewing was
allowed, and the best curious newspaper
men could do was to guess at the weight
of the players. They certainly looked
fit and surprisingly large.
Both sides expected to win Michigan

but with the arrival of the gopher con-

evidence.
