The Presidents ThankS@ivin9
Proclamation

BY the President Of the United States Of
America, a proclamation: 1t has pleased
Almighty God to bring the American peo-
pie in safety and honor through another
year, and in accordance with the long I'M
broken custom handed down to us by our
forefathers, the time has come when Il Spe
clal day shall be set apart in which to
thank Him who holds all nations in the
hollow of His hand for the mercies thus
vouchsafed to u.s.
During the century and quarter of our
national life we as a people have been
blessed beyond all others, ard for this we
owe humble and heartfelt thanks to the
thor Of all blessings. The year that has
closed has been one Of peace within our
own borders well as between and all
other nations. The harvestS have been
abundant, and those who work, whether
with hand or brain, are prospecting greatly.
Reward has waited upon honest effort. We
have been enabled to do our duty to our
selves and to others. Never has there been
a time when religious and charitable effort
has been more evident. Much has been given
to us and much will be expected from us.
We speak of what has been done by this
nation in no spirit of boastfulness or vain
glory. but with full and reverent realiza-
ton that our strength is as nothing unless
we are helped from above. Hitherto we
have been given the heartiest strength to
do the tasks allotted to US as they several
ly arose. We are thankful for all that
has been done for US in the past and we
pray that in the future may be strength
ened in the amending struggle to do our duty
fearleSSly and honestly, with charley and
good will, with respect for ourselves and
with love toward our fellow men,

KILLED IN TWO DISASTERS.
Miners Fall to Death aud Reservoir
Bursts killing Seventeen Persons.


Thirty-fve persons were killed
Wednesday in two terrible disasters in
the United States, eighteen in Penn
sylvania coal mine and seventeen
through the breaking of u water reser-
voir in South Carolina.
The mining accident occurred in one
of the shafts of the Delaware Lacka
wanna and Western Company's mines,
about eight miles south Of Wilkes
barre. at NanticOke. When the men
started to work eighteen entered the
lowering machine. 4 few feet below
the surface the steel cable Of the car
riage, connected with the hosting en-
CINE, broke. Instantly the heavy car
shot downward with frightful velocity
and it and the men We're crushed at
dred feet below.
Frantic efforts We're made at once
to reach the men and rescue them if
any had survived. 1t was necessary
to construct a temporary elevator,
however, and every one of the eigh-
teen miners was dead when their fell
low-workers reached the bottom of the
shaft. Six feet of water was in the
bottom of the shaft. and the men who
were not killed by the fall were drown
ed. The accident was caused by ma
chinery in the engine room going
wrong.
Details from the frightful disaster at
Winston Salem, S. c., where seventeen
persons are known to have been
drowned, are meager, but it is be-
lieved that many others lost their
lives. The Winston reservoir, stu
ated on top Of high HILL burst, and
the water swept down the valley with
terrific force, carrying everything be-
fore it.
Houses, trees, animals, human be-
ings, fences and crops We're swept
away by the onrushing flood. Houses
were crushed like eggshells; trees were
snapped off or pulled up by the roots.
There was no chance of escape by any
thing in the path of the water.
The residents of the valley had no
warning of the approaching catastrO-
phe, and men, women and children
were killed almost before they realized
what was happening.

thereby leading the officers of the bat

attacking the Anato. This, coupled
with the alleged appearance of two
mysterious torpedo boats steaming to-
ward the battle ship, resulted in the
