THANKSGIVING IN
THE HOSPITALS,
How the Day Was Spent by the In
mates of the Infirmaries

How the Day Was spent by the In
mates of the Infirmaries
While they were enjoying the good
cheer of Thanksgiving Day and eat
ing with a relish of the many good
things which a Thanksgiving table at
fords, there were few, probably. who
thought of the inmates in the hospi-
tails, many of whom were not allowed
to partake of the dishes and pungent
sauces which graced many a board.
In these institutions everything was
done to make the day as cheerful as
possible. To those who were permit
ted to partake, repasts were served,
while delicacies and relishes were the
lot of those who were confined to light
diet. The number of visitors was larg-
er than usual, and some of these
brought choice morsels for their un-
fortunate friends.
The good cheer and good will which
seemed to be in the crisp atmosphere
pervaded the hospitals, and made them
wear the aspect of THANKSGIVING
While the number of donations was
smaller than on previous Thanksgiving
Days, the day was made pleasant by
those in charge, and for many the hol-
iday was happy one.

Mr.. j. +. De Meza, representing the
New Orleans Trade Index. is at the De
Soto. He will be in Savannah for a
few days in the interest of his paper,
which is well-known among the trade.
The Trade Index is the pioneer paper
of the South to make an aggressive
fight on bucketshops, which 1t has done
by publishing the names of all con-
Germs having a bucket shop license, and
warning traders against placing their
orders for futures through such con-
Germs. So persistent has the fight of
this paper been that it has attracted
general attention among the trade
here and elsewhere. Not only has this
publication taken an aggressive stand
on the question: but it has shown a
local spirit in the matter it publishes
which has brought it to the attention
of the local trade. Mr.. De Meza is a
gentleman of wide experience, and in
circulating among the local trade he is
sure to meet with a cordial reception.

CAMERA CLUBS EXHIBITION.
The Club Rooms Thronged With
Visitors on Opening Day.

The Savannah Camera Clubs fall ex-
hibition opened yesterday afternoon,
and from 4 until II o'clock the club
rooms, at Bull street and Park ave-
nue., were thronged. Committees from
the club received the visitors who were
allowed the freedom of the rooms and
saw all there was to be seen outside
of the studio in which the prize pictures
were displayed, as well as in it.
The exhibition is far ahead of any
that the club has given heretofore,
both in the number and merit of the
pictures. There was much interest in
the awards of prizes, and the medal
winning pictures were the center of
interest. Lieut.. Norman's collection of
Alaskan and Siberian photographs at
tracted much attention.
The exhibitions will be continued to-
day during the same hours, opening at
4 o'clock and closing at II O'Clock.

From the New York Tribune.
A baby of two years crept to the top
step Of the flight of stairs which led
from the second story of the cottage
into the sitting room It's mother was
at the foot of the stairs reading and
rocking herself in a most comfortable
fashion. The child wanted to come
down, and began to cry Justify
The mother did not look UP. The
child continued crying.
Presently it crept a bit nearer the
top of the dangerous flight. Again its
riteous cry rang out. A wooden Indian
mother would almost have known
what the child wanted. The flesh and
blood mother below paid no attention.
The little one lurched forward, and
with a cry, half smothered with fear
began the fall. Three steps below It
struck on its head with cruel force.
Then, bumpety~bump-b bump bump, the
little thing rolled to the very bottom.

of the mother. Blood trickled from a
wound in the little white brow. The
mother read on.
A neighbor woman, who occupied the
other half of this double cottage. came

lying there still unconscious

cried, picking up the little one.
1.-THE baby has fallen downstairs for
the third time to-day" said the moth

And you sit here. without turning
hand to save her!" cried the neigh
Dor. You inhuman mother!'
You forget that baby is one of the
saints of Shiloh, and that the Holy
Ghost watches over her." said the
mother.
The neighbor woman restored the
child with difficulty and washed away
the blood. She was about to put some
arnica ON its bruises, when the mother
stopped her.

baby has bruise demon. her mother
will remove it with prayer"
The neighbor went away and spoke
her mind about the Holy Ghost and

mother was member.
All this, strange and improbable as
ii seems, actually happened few
weeks ago in a cottage on West Hill.

THE DAY IN THE CHURCHES.
Thanksgiving Sermons and Hymns
by all Denomi nations.

by all Denomi nations.
The observance of Thanksgiving in
the churches yesterday was very gem
eral, and, further fact, the congre-
cations in all cases were much larger
than is customary. The chief service
was held in the First Baptist Church.
where were gathered the congregations
of all of the churches represented in
the Ministerial Association.
The congregation was so large that
not only was the main auditorium FILL
ed but the galleries partially so. and
it further became necessary to place
chairs in the aisles to accommodate
the late Corners.
The services began with prayer by
Rev. D. S. Edenfield of the Southside
Baptist Church; Rev. DR.. ]. Y. Fair
read the Scripture lesson: Rev. DR..
j. ID. Jordan made a short introduce
tory address on the nature of the cele-
bration and then. after prayer by Rev.
DR.. w. P. McCorkle, the sermon was
delivered by Rev. Bascom Anthony.
who took as his text a part of the
Ninety-third Psalm: THE Lord reign
eth, the Lord is higher. mightier than
many waters; yea, mightier than the
waves of the sea-" The collection.
which was made for the Savannah Fe-
| male Asylum, amounted to $S0.5O.
Services were held also in the Epis-
copal churches. and i'm these, too. un-
usually large congregations were pres
ent. In each case the affairs were
decorated with the fruits of the sea-
son. and fruits and similar gifts were
| placed in the chancel. These were,
after the service, distributed among
| the poor.
Thanksgiving services were also cell
| ebrated in the Temple Mickva Israel,
the Synagogue B'Nai Birth Jacob
| and in Metropolitan Hall, where the
| services were conducted by the Chris
tian Scientists of the First Church of
Christ

of the candidates who were baptized
were at the temple for the day only,
and did not have suitable clothing for
a change. One of them was Mrs. Ma

a few days later from results of the
immersion in the icy waters.
The "Rey." Sanford is now in Egypt:
at least. the faithful last heard from
him from Jerusalem. He led a COM
pany of saints there to found perrna-
nent settlement. He also took with him
a considera BILE sum of money, which he
borrowed from a Brooklyn woman.
This left her almost penniless. When
he returns he expects that the great
day of the battle of ArmaReddon will be
at hand and the antichrist and his le-
gions VIII be readily overthrown.

HAZLETON, Pa. May 19.-The visit of Ralph M. Easley, secretary of the National Civic federation. to strike headquarters and his conference with President Mitchell of the United Mine Workers is the only incident of any importance that has claimed the atten- tion of the labor leaders and others since the strike was declared. As nei- ther Mir. Paisley nor Mir. Mitchell would say anything regarding their meeting there was much speculation as to the object of the visit of the secretary of the Civic federation. MT. Easley laugh ed at the stir which his arrival caused and said there was not the slightest significance attached to his trip here. He reiterated that he came here mere ly to look over the ground and to keep himself informed of the general situa- ton. He denied that he brought plans for settlement of the strike or message from Senator Hanna or any other memb Der of the Civic federation.

1 Printers and Their Friends Enjoy an Evening at Belleview Lake. The splendid feeling that exists be tween all parties interested in the art preserYative in Waterbury was beau tifully exemplffed on Saturday night when Waterbury Typographical union entertained the employing printers, editors, reporters and newspapermen generally at a smoker at BelleyieW Lake park. If the same quality of friendship could permeate all avenues of trade, prosperity would be un- bounded and strikes and lock-outs would be unknown quantities.
 A fine vaudeville program was ar- ranged for the occasion by Al T. Dar- ling, the participants being MT Dar- ling himself in black face specialties Joseph NJ. Ducrow in negro mono logue; Nick Fields. German dialect co- median; Joe Corr, buck and wing dancing; Frank Dee, rag-time pianist; Hyman Freedman in Yiddish turn. City Clerk Ryan also favored the as- sembly with timely address.
 The hit of the evening was a spar ring bout between. two devils and the hot slugs' were so frequent that several "crazy lines'' were visible on the face of long primer before the end of the first round with the result that he was simply pie for his sa- tanic majesty during the next two rounds.
 The affair was in the hands of q capable committee consisting of Frank T. Parsons, George Cooley and Charles Weed.
