To Observe Thanksgiving
Day.
SUSPEND ALL OF THE BUSINESS
His FamiIy-ChiIdren Are
at Home.

WASHINGTON, D. c., Nov. 25.-The
machinery of government in the ma
tional capital will come to a standstill
tomorrow. the Panama affair, the Gu
ban treaty and other momentous ques-
tons will be forgotten for the time be-
ing and everyone from the president
down will unite in the observance OF
that most characteristic of all Ameri-
can holidays-Thanksgi Day. The
day is usually a quiet one in Wash
ington, socially, as well as officially,
but congress being in session this year
things may be different. The turkey
dinners, at least, will be more numer-
Gus than in previous years
President Roosevelt believes in eel
ebrating the holiday in the good, old
fashioned way and consequently 1t is
sure to be jolly Thanksgiving in
the White house. The Roosevelt chill
dren are home from school, and they
are bound to have a romp, in which
their father and mother will join. No
business whatever will be done at the
executive mansion during the day
The clerks will not report for duty and
all official engagements will be post
poned until the following day. In the
morning the president and his family
will go to church and in the after
noon they will receive some visitors
in a social way. Dinner will be at
q. m, and several friends will be in
vited to share it.
The presidents steward gives him
self no concern regarding a Thanks
giving turkey for the executive table.
For more than twenty-five years, HO-
race Vose of Westerly, r. l., has had
the privilege of supplying the presi-
dents turkey. This is in pursuance of
custom which was established by
Senator Anthony when President
Grant was the chief executive. AS
long as the senator lived he bought
turkeys for the presidents, and when
The Evening statesman. [volume] (Walla Walla, Wash.) 1903-1910, 1903-11-25

he died, Mr. VOse kept up the custom,
and each wear sent the best birds he
could find in his home county. The
colossal fowl which will satisfy the
appetites of the Roosevelt household
tomorrow and fill the White House
kitchen with it's fragrant aroma Will
weigh in the neighborhood of thirty
pounds. He was Matched last spring
and as tenderly reared as a young colt
destined for the race track
The menu for the Thanksgiving din
ner is always a simple one. Mr.. Vose S
turkey is the piece de resistance, and
the other dishes served are typically
American. The dinner invariably be-
gins with Chesapeake oysters. Flaky
rock fish from the Potomac, terrap pin
from the eastern shore and cranberries
from Cape Cod are included in the
menu.
All the members of the cabinet will
eat their Thanksgiving dinners at
their Washington homes Secretary
and Mrs. May will have a family par
ty at their board. Secretary and Mrs
Shaw will dine at their home in Mass
achusetts Avenue, and will share the
holiday feast with their children. The
attorney general is fond of his own
fireside and he prefers a simple home
dinner to any of the feasts in which
he might participate. The secretary
of agriculture has little to buy for
his Thanksgiving dinner as turkeys
and other gifts come to him from all
over the country. The secretary Of
the interior, Mr.. Hitchcock, and his
family will dine in their home in K
street. The secretary of the navy,
the recipient of many invitations, will
probably follow his usual custom and
dine with his bachelor cronies in the
WOrden House.

LONDON FEARS WALL STREET.
Telegraph Prints Article Rejecting
On American institutions.

LONDON, Nov. 24.-Leading papers
do not share the optimistic opinions
concerning the conditions Of American
finance, recently published here from
private sources. The Telegraph,
whose financial columns are noted for
conservatism, says:
mo doubt an effort will be made
while financiers are disposing of blocks
of bonds in order to furnish the fresh
capital of which nearly all the COM
panies are in need, but the immediate
outlook is not bright, and it is an I'M
satisfactory feature that advices from
the other side have recently become
unreliable. For some time what are
described as conservative Wall street
firms have been recommending the
purchase Of Pennsylvania shares, yet
the latter have fallen more in proper
ton than almost anything else.
Again, within the last day or two,
cables were received from unusually
reliable sources to the effect that the
Amalgamated Copper companys mines
could not possibly be restarted for six
months. Yet they have already been

much as many other American rail-
road companies are known to be en-
deavorng to raise fresh capital and in
view of the scarcity of money from
which we are suffering and the needs
that the financial houses in this coun-
try will not make too ready a response
to American Establishments.

JEFFRIES THINKS FITZ WILL WIN
Champion of the World Pins His Faith
On lanky Bob.

James j. Jeffries said in recent in
terview published in the New York
Journal and Americana:
Tho battle between Bob Fitzsimmons
and George Gardner for the light
heavyweight championship which
takes place on next Wednesday night
in San Francisco, should prove a grand
fistic event. No matter which one
comes out the winner l think it will
be hard contest.
Personally, l look for Fitzsimmons
to win. l have fought him and know
that he is a great fighter. In fact,
think he is the hardest proposition
have ever encountered. He is a Won
derful hitter and is on to all the tricks
of the game. He is an excellent ring
general.
1t takes a great fighter to defeat
Fitzsimmons and if Gardner is sue
cessful we can put him down as a
wonder. OF course FitzsimmOnss age
is a slight disadvantage, but if he
trains and enters the ring in good
physical condition he will be hard to
defeat
Depends On Fitz's Hands.
Like all other professions a fighter
cannot last always. Fitzsimmons has
had many hard fights While they
have never injured him permanently
he has received many hard knocks and
he has hit so many hard blows that
years ago. The long rest he has re-
ceived since his last big fight may
have given his hands a chance to get
strong again. F'itzsimmons hands
may hold out, and if they do George
Gardner will get the worst walloping
he has ever received.
l have followed Gardeners career
with considerable interest and he may
have a surprise in store for Fitzsim-
mons He has the advantage in years
over FitzsimmOns, but l doubt as to
whether he has any more strength.
Fitzsimmons' best move, l should
think, would be to finish his man off
in the early stages of the battle while
his hands are still strong. If it is a
short battle, F'itzsimmOns will surely
be the winner.
Gardeners Chance In a Long Fight.
While Gardner may be a terrific hit
ter, | don't think he can compare in
delivery with his opponent. In fact,
l know of no other fighter who can
hit a harder blow than Fitzsimmons.
In a long drawn out battle l am
inclined to believe that Gardner would
have the advantage. 1t is in a long,
fast battle that age and condition
will tell 1t is after the excitement
and the false stimulation in the first
couple of rounds wear off that a man
really battles for all that is in him. He
| is simply depending upon his strength
| then.
There is every reason to believe that
both men will enter the ring in the best
| possible condition. Fitzsimmons is al
| ways a conscientious trainer and Gard
ner realizes that the outcome of the
encounter depends upon his condition.

Death of Englnnd,. Leading Hunts
(BaiIey's Magazine.)

iBaiIeys Magazine.)
In Tom FIR, who died on Tuesday, De-
cember 18th. at Kuorn: we lose one Of the
greatest masters Of the art Of handling
hounds that sport has ever known. He
was rather an institution than a hunts
man; Ton FIR and the Quorn were
SYNONYMOUS In sense, and he stood
out as the representative OF his class:
What may be called. the closing scene OF
his active life took place on April 10. 1889,
at the Quorn kennels. when Lord Belpcr,
In the presence of perhaps the most dis
tinguished persons In the hunting world
ever assembled. presented Tom FIR with
purse to which $50 subscribers con-
tributed a sum OF $500. This is the
largest testimonial that has ever been
given retiring huntsmaIl. ~
Tom FIR possessed at their highest all
the physical and mental qualifications
that 60 to make the successful huntsman.
He was gifted with a beautiful voice
and marvellous quick eye for q coun-.
try; he knew always what his hounds
were doing, and trusted them, while he
had them under perfect command. He
was splendid horseman-a more daring
rider never took straight line over the
Quorn pastures. s.
For some time past Fir had suffered
from cancer of the throat His condition
on Monday, the 18th. rendered it neces-
sary to try and afford him relief by an
operation. But his case was hopeless.
He sank steadily, and died on Tuesday
night. leaving behind him o memory that
will live as long as hunting itself.
