The Presidents ThankS9jvin6
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 un-
broken custom handed down to us by our
forefathers. the time has come when a spe-
cial day shall be set apart in which to
thank Him who holds all nations In the
hollow of His hand for the mercies thus
youchsafed to us.
During the century and n quarter Of our
national life we as n people have been
blessed beyond all others. and for this we
owe humble and heartfelt thanks to the au-
thor of all blessings. The year that has
closed has been one Of peace within our
own borders as well as between US and all
other nations. The harvests have been
abundant, and those who work, whether
with hand or brain, are prospcring greatly.
Reward has waited upon honest effort. We
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
iy arose We are thankful for all that
has been done for us in the past and We
pray that in the future VIC may be strength
cned in the unending struggle to do our duty
feariessly and honestly. with charity and
coed will with respect for ourselves and
with love toward our fellow men.

CLEvELAND's LONELY HOME.
Spot in the Sandwich Mountains Too
Des0late Even for Farmers.

Spot in the Sandwich Mountains Too
Desolate Even for Farmers.
Politicians and others who have
sought ex-President Grover Cleveland
at his new summer home at Sandwich,
N. H., are telling Of the difficulties
they encountered in reaching his re-
treat. Most of them expressed the
opinion that Sandwich, Carroll Coun-
ty, is the '.jumping-off place" 1t GER
tainly is very near to being the end
Of travel in the direction Of the Ossi-
pee and Sandwich mountains. All OF
the roads there have a habit of leading
up to some secluded farmhouse and.
there stopping. Further on there is
only trail leading up the mountain.
1t is a drive of something like
dozen miles to the Cleveland home,
but more than one visitor has put the
number of miles at twenty-five before
he has covered the distance. The
roads are rough and uneven. They
wind through the valleys and over the
hills, particularly over the hills. The
early settlers in the region appear to
have had craving for travelling
around on the mountain tops.
Mr.. Clevelands domicile is on the
top OF a hill in an open field. 1t is
half a mile from the main road and
is reached by a common cart path.
which is uncommonly hard to travel
over. The nearest postcffice is at
Whitehall. three and a half miles
away.
Everybody knows that Mr.. Cleve-
lard is fond of fishing. At Sandwich
he Is obliged to walk or drive six to
ten miles to reach a pond, though
there are several trout brooks within
two or three miles of the house.
Sandwich Is out of the way Of
steam cars, trolley lines and most 9th
er adjuncts Of modern civilization. 1t
Is good place in which to bury ones
self. 1t is surrounded by forests sell
dom trod by men, and abounding in
game. There are fewer houses and
fewer people than there were thirty
years ago.
Probably in no township in New
England are there more abandoned
farms than in this. The visitor dis
covers deserted farm buildings going
to ruin in every direction, and all
around Is land which shows signs OF
once having been cultivated, but which
has been abandoned to bushes and
rabbits. 1t is lonely region even for
New England.-New York Sun.

II 6-inch, 20 3-inch, 20 S-pounders and G
1pounder guns, and from four to six
torpedo tubes, two of which are carried
under water. Their normal coal supply
Is 1,250 tons, with a maximum capacity
of 1000 tons.
They were launched at various dates
were given their trials late in 1903 or
early in 1904. The Imperator Alexander
Ill. on her official trial at Kronstadt av-
eraged 17.36 knots in four runs over a
measured mile, and developed 1926 in
dicated horsepower, on a coal consump-
ton of two pounds per horsepower for
each hour. 1t was intended to send her
to the far East in the early spring, but
her tests appear to have taken place be-
fore she was fully completed.
The other battleships are the Oslabya,
Of 12.674 tons, launched in 1898: the
Navarin, of 1O.2O6 tons. launched in
1891. and the Sissoi Veliky, of 10.400
tons. launched in 1891.
Two armored cruisers--the Dmitr
DOnskoi, Of 5,SS2 tons, and the Arr:iral
Nakhimoff, of S,524 tons-were launched
In 1888 and 1854 respectively. These
vessels have been re-engined and other
wise overhauled, but at the best they are
only medium representatives of this i'm
portant class of fighting ships and can
not be compared favorably with the Asa
ma and her sister ships Of the japanese
navy.
The protected cruisers are the Oleg,
6,675 tons; Aurora, 6.630; Almaz, 3,2S5;
Svietlana, 3,S2S, and Temtchug and
1zumrad, $3.50 tons each. All of these
are modern vessels of useful but not
highly important type.
Seven of the destroyers are new and
belong to the single screw "B" class.
which includes the Buistni. the Dedovi,
the Bravi. the Blestiescliy, the Bezum-

1907 and 1902. On 6,0O0 horsepower

Since August l the operations
against Port Arthur have cost thou
sands of lives, and embrace series
OF fierce assaults, hand-to hand strug-
giles and artillery duels without par
allel in history.
When the Japanese drove the Rus
slams from their strong position on
the last range of hills in front of the
fortress by 4 surprise attack July 30
the Russians retired TO the forts, but
they also strongly held previously pre-
pared advance lines to prevent the
japanese from closing in upon the for
titled ridges.
This line of forts was fourteen miles
long, forming a semi-circle from the
east coast to four miles from the west
coast and circling five miles northwest
of Port Arthur. The fortress belt
proper was a twelve-mile semi-circle

under the leadership of Robert Laird
I:orden. From latest reports the Lib
erals appear to have gained one of the
most complete triumphs in the history of
Canadian politics and. contrary to gen.
eral expectation, they will have larger
majority in the new parliament than in
the old. They are assured of ma jority
of nearly seventy, as against their late
ma jority Of fifty-four.
The results show many surprises. The
detection of former Minister Tarte has
had no effect in the province of Quebec.
and the Conservatives elect only ten
members there. French sentiment was
too strong in this stronghold of the
F'rench-Canadians to be shaken in any
degree.
In Ontario, where the conservatives ex-
pected to make a large gain. the Liber-
ais have scored instead and have cut
down the former Conservative majority
of fifteen to six.
