ago, when he was elevated to the SUI
preme court bench.
1t is freely predicted, that two years
hence, Judge Fitzgerald will be elected
by the democratic legislature to United
States Senate to succeed Senator Stew
art, who will be a candidate on the re-
publican side, he having renounced his
allegiance to the silver side, and an
nounced that he would run as a repub-
lican.
Judge Fitzgerald made an address to
the Oak Ridge people and students last
night that was highly enjoyed. By re-
quest he gave a reminiscent account OF
his experience at Oak Ridge as stu
dent nearly fifty years ago. After the
address, which was loudly applauded
frequently, a reception was given. and
the evening devoted to social amenities
among the young ladies and gentlemen
present. which was a fitting finale to q
notable event.

Washington. October 31.-The Presi-
dent today issued his annual Thanks
giving proclamation. in the following
terms:
By the President of the United
States of America
"A Proclamation.
THE season is at hand when. ac-
cording to the custom of our people,
it falls upon the President to appoint
a day of praise and Thanksgiving to
God.
During the last year. the Lord has
dealt bountifully with us, giving us
peace at home and abroad and the
chance for our citizens to work for
their welfare, nnhindered by war
not only to rejoice greatly, because OF
what has been given US, but to accept
it with a solemn sense of reSpOnsib-
lllty, realizing that under Heaven it
rests with us ourselves to show that
We are worth to use a right what has
thus been intrusted to our care.
In no other place and a. no other
time has the experiment of govern
ment of the people, by the people, for
scale as here in our own country in
the opening years &C the 20th cen
tury. Failure would not only be a
dreadful thing for us. but a dreadful
thing for all mankind. because it
would mean loss of hope for all who
believe in the power and the right
eousness of liberty. Therefore, in
thanking God for the mercy extended
to us in the past, we beseech him that
i,,
future, and that our hearts may be
rescued to war steadfastly for good
and against all the forces of evil
public and private. We pray for
strength and light. so that in the
coming years we may with cleaali-
ness ,fearlessness and wisdom do our
allotted work on the earth. in such a
manner as to show that We are not
altogether unworthy of the blessings
we have received.
Now. therefore, I Theodore RooSe-
Welt, President of the United States.
do hereby designate as a day of gen.
eral thanksgiving. Thursday. the
twenty-sixth of the coming November.
and do recommend that throughout
the land. the people cease from their
wonted occupations. and in their sew
eral houses and places of worship
! render thanks to Almighty God for his
! manifold mercies.
! In witness whereof ! have here
! unto set my hand and caused the seal
of the United States to be affixed.
! Done at the city of Washing
! ton. this 31st da-- Of October in the
year of our Lord one Thousand nine
! hundred and three (SEAL) Of the in
! dependence of the United States. the
! one hundred and twenty-eighth.
! THEODORE ROOSEVELT"

: John HAY. Secretary Of State.

of their dead friends and fellow work

the wreckage caught fire. but the

ditiOn. y dozen or more have broken
bones and in several cases there are
compound fractures of two and even
three limbs. The death list is cx-
pected to grow. Two of the injured
died being taken to the hospitals. c.
D. Tansman, of Cincinnati, is prob
ably fatally injured. He is being cared
for at the home of DR.. Cunningham.
T. \. Bailey. of Richmond. Ird.. also

While the work of rescue was go

th" tragedy to the black and gold Of
Purdue was received. Instantly all
was sadness and sympathy The
