Prevented what Might Have Been
CcnhagrntiOn on Hull 81.
AT o'clock last night, when the We
locity of the wind was greatest, much
excitement was caused by the drop
ping of a lamp by a servant at the
home of Mrs. S. V. Smith, at No. 312
Hull street, west. When the accident
occurred the people in the room acted
with presence of mind, and this was
responsible for the fact that the fire
was quelled in it's incipiency.
When the lamp fell the kerosene ran
out and caught fire. Two others be-
sides the servant were present One
of these ran to the nearest telephone
and gave the alarm. The other at
tempted to smother the flames with a
crocus sack. The attempt was success
full, and though the chemical engine
made a quick run to the scene, the
danger was past when 1t arrived. No
alarm was turned in, but the sight of
the engine rushing through the streets
caused a large crowd to congregate Oh
the scene.

A live wire had possession of the
corner of Whitaker and State streets
last night about o'clock for consider
able time before it was taken up and
gotten out of the way by electric line

lying in the street stood on the corner
to warn people of the danger. One man
not believing that the wire was charg-

in the street. He had received a good
shock, and did not repeat the expert
ment. The linemen arrived soon after
and remedied the danger. The wire
had broken by chatting against another
in the strong wind blowing.

TRAMP VOLUNTEER soLoIsT

Sauntered in Church During Mass,
 Sang and Captiyated Congregation.
 The choir and congregation of the Immaculate Heart church at Chester, Pa, were treated to something of sen, sation during the anniversary mass III honor of the late Rev Thomas J Me G1ynn, former rector of the chugch. A seedy looking individual, with every appearance of a tramp, one empty sleeve dangling at his side, fearless1y strode into the choir as the service was about to commence. Approaching James F. Desmond, a member of the choir, the stranger remarked:
 Say, boss, is there a chance here for a feller to ring in wid de singin'?'
 The volunteer vocalist was referred to the organist. Miss Nellie Conarty, and it just so happened that the regu- lar tenor singer had not arrived.
 live the voice an knows de music, < urged the tramp.
 There was no time for delay and per mission was given. Raphae1's "One- wald Mass of Requiem was con- menced and when it was time for the volunteer" to sing his part there was a craning of necks in the congregation and perceptible commotion in the choir.
 The tramp sang like nightingale and with equal ease and purity of ex- pression he would change his voice from tenor to first bass. His singing and pronunciation were perfect.
 'sWhen I passes a church at de time of a mass I can't resist de temptation to stoD in and join de choir I can't tell where it will be de next time I sing. For all I know it might be in H. 1inois or in Frisco. Just as de spirit noes me-
 Twenty-Five years ago he said he sat up all night with Newlind, who ar ranged the tenor part of the mass that he had just sung and has assisted him with the work in order that it might he sung at the mass over Bishop Hughes.

by redskins, there being only 55 of the former. There were but four women and few young girls to take part in the celebration, or in the preparations for the celebration. Ii is to be hoped some of the men were skilled in getting eatables ready, oth- erwise that small handful of women folk must have been grievously over worked in providing refreshment for the merrymakers.
 In 1923 drought threatened the brave Pilgrim settlers, but the need- ed rain fell after a day spent by all in fasting and prayer; so the next Thanksgiving differed somewhat from the one of two years before in that it was observed in testimony of grat- itude for answer to prayer.
 i In 1630, in February, on the day now celebrated as Washington's natal day, the first public Thanks giving was held in Boston by the Bay colony. At this festival thanks were offered for .'the safe ar rival of food-bearing and food-bring- ing ships.' After that, for a period tO1 OO y 1hdhASSlN1IS was oD- served with more or less regularity, about once every two years. There were periods, notably after a dread- tful Indian massacre, when it would have been difficult to have gotten uni ;yersal giving of thanks from the col lonists.
 ! At first it was quite difficult to get the various localities to feel thank full at the same time, a Rhode Island- CT not always being in the grateful mood at the time the Massachusetts folk were, and they did not always agree on the subjects supposed to call forth thanks; now plentiful har- vests arousing gratitude in one com munity, now deliverance from Indians in another, deliverance from disease in still another. Different months were chosen for celebrating Thanks giving, August, October, December and January; but finally it became generally observed as an autumn fes- tival. Thursday, as well as Novem- Der, gradually became indissolubly connected with Thanksgiving; rec ords showing the holiday to have been observed now on tuesdays, now on Wednesdays.
 Tn 16so, there is good reason to believe, Thanksgiving was kept gen orally as an annual festival. During the revolution it became national holiday, but after the Thanksgiving for Peace in 17s4 it was omitted until 17s9. In that year, Washington, ac- cording to advice from congress, ap- pointed the last Thursday in Novem- Der for national observance.
 The west, largely peopled by east erners, has long been devoted to the keeping of Thanksgiving, but it was not until 1858 that the south adopt ed the Yankee holiday. To-day it is veritably a national institution, ob- served by Americans of all classes, of all localities. KATHERINE POPE.

TFY1EEzszEzsEIlHE first New England lkl gnA Thanksgiving wasa Thanks l#sSa &sI giving week, rather than a
 M Thanksgiving day. And,
 1 though we are apt to think
 of it as religious cele- bration, it was really, that first one, a season marked by feasting and jol lity; very much as is our Thanksgiv ing of to-day. Indeed, it seems tc some of us of the present that at the Thanksgiving holiday in the au- tumn of 1621, the religious side was quite too little considered, instead of given undue prominence. No men tion is made of any religious services taking place that week as part of the obseryances.
 The Plymouth Pilgrims, who had toiled arduously a whole twelve month from the time of landing, knowing little of relaxation save the rest required on the Sabbath, when the harvest for 1891 was in, agreed together the time to play had come. It was decided that there should be held a period of general rejoicing and thanksgiving, and careful prep dIdblOh was ulduCsIOI GIG CHCuG. T Oul huntsmen were dispatched for Gov. Bradford to bring in game for the colony, and these doughty followers of the chase returned with 8 days spoils sutlcient to provide the whole company for week. The Indian neighbor, Massasoit, was invited to the festival, and came bringing with him 90 people to be entertained.
 The ninety and one guests remained for a visit of three days, but they helped out the supplies by the con tribution. of five deer. The red men were treated to show of military maneuvers by their hosts; for the purpose of diversion for them, or as way of impressing the strength of the white men upon the native born, history saith not.
 At the feasting of that week the wild turkey played an important part, and to-day we still conservatively cling to this bird as the proper occu- pant of the Thanksgiving platter. When we read of the venison, and that 'besides waterfoule was great store of wild turkies" for Pilgrims and Indian guests, we must think of that Thanksgiving of 281 years ago as certainly a time of feasting rath- CT than of fasting.
 At the first New England Thanks. giving the English were outnumbered . .
