Alcorn, secretary, and G. w. Weir, treas
urer. The storeroom at Meridian and
Georgia streets, which is now unoccupied

Thanksgiving feast.
The knights, assisted by their wives
daughters and sweethearts, formed the
volunteer corps to serve the dinner The
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

Thanksgiving dinner through this agency.

dinners by delivery. The dinner consisted
of turkey AMI ''trimmins," vegetables, cof-
fee and pies. The entire expense of il

the donations of the lodges being increased
by those of individual members The
knights were well pleased with the charac-
ter of the beneficiaries of their bounty.

1t was the first Thanksgiving dinner he

ABUNDANT CAUSE.
America Has Every Reason 10 Be
Thankful, the Rev. Peter Seul Says.

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 as nations
and observe a special day of Thanksgiving
and publicly praise the Lord. We should
not merely make ii a day of feasting, or
a 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.
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 our
parable. 1t 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. having any thoughts of the I'M
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 on 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 Gods
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
neighbor, make use of our wealth in help
ing the needy and promulgate the king
dom of our Saviour"

To the Editor OF the Indianapolis Journal:
There is one matter which should receive
the attention OF the legislators. for IL Is
OF vital concern to every city and incor-
porated town in the State 1t is the matter
of a just law for making new streets and
rebuilding those that have been worn ont
Under the present law the property owner
along the streets bears the larger part of
the burden, commissioners being author
lied TO assess benefits from adjacent prom
erty. What theory enabled the lawmaker
TO conclude that adjacent property should
be assessed and not all taxables Is not
clear. During the last ten years this CITY
has built streets which have cost the prom
erty holder abutting thereon approximate
~ 10000. These streets are all worn out.
including one badly in need of repairs
which was built last summer. Except one
short brick street. there is not one street
but needs rebuilding. What to do is a
question for serious consideration. The
city Is bonded 10 the limit and beyond.
The tax rate II above the statutory limit
II Is manifestly unjust TO compel the
abutting property and adjacent property 10
bear this burden. Streets should be re-
built by ,he entire city. No vehicle ordi-
nance w1s ever enacted here. Yet a
specific tax on vehicles. which the law al
lows. would n a few years create a large
fund from. which streets could be repaired
and rebuilt. But there is 10 such fund
available at this time and the streets
must BE rebuilt. The situation is critical
and has been much discussed. Citizens
here generally have concluded that abut-
ting property should pay for first improve
ments OF streets and walks They have
concluded that repair and rebuilding should
be done by a specinc tax on vehicles and
general tax upon all the taxables OF the
city. IL IL such law that citizens here
want 10 see enacted by the Legislature

DAVID GARRICK" PRESENTED.
Audience at Y. NJ. G. A. Pleased with
Mr.. RObinsOn's ImpersOnatfOn.

A good-szed audience was given rare
treat last night in the Y. NJ. 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 or

marry for the sake of the family was
given with as much ease and grace as that

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.

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, q
London lawyer, representing certain minor
ity stockholders of the Central PACING,
against the executors of the estate of the
late Coils p. Huntington and the Central
Pacific company, to compel 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 on 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 Pacific
In the East and up to the year. 1899 held a
power of attorney, vesting in him absolute
control OF the companyS affairs; that he
and his associates organized certain other
companies, known as the Contract and FL
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 $50, 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
$685. 900. 1t is claimed in the complaint
that the actual cost of the construction of
| the Central Pacific and its leased and aux
| Hilary lines did not exceed $50, 000 600. 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
outcome of the suit, many interesting de-
| velopments may be looked for If it 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 were al
| ways known as 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.
