Buffalo is thankful that the coun-

ton, and rejoices with the other
cities of the country in the restora-

ST. PETERSBURG, Nov. 30. -
Members of the naval staff are
silent regarding reports about Ad-
miraI Chouknin, commanding the
Black sea fleet at SevastopoI, but
alarming reports are current re-
garding the situation there. A cor.
respondent was informed that for
eign interference was not unlikely
in an endeavor at paclfication of
the mutineers. 1t reported the
northern and southern batteries at
SevastopoI fought each other five
hours and finally the infantry
stormed the northern battery, los
ing 500 men in the assault. The
squadron is divided. A portion bonn
barded the city destroying half the
town, while other ships turned the
guns on the mutineers' vessels. 1t
is reported the rebels surrendered
after the death of Lieutenant
Schmidt, commander Of the revoIu-
tionary fleet, who was killed aboard
the cruiser Otshakor which sunk.

NEW ORLEANS,
Especially Because She Has Won
the Victory Over Disease.
BY Martin Behrman.

The people of New Orleans have
had many things for which to be
thankful during the past year.
Material prosperity has attended
their every step. The visible evil
dence of the increase in worldly
prosperity are in the largest num-
Der of new banks ever established
in one year; In the increased
amount of exports and imports; in
the broadening of domestic trade.
But far greater than all these
blessings is the victory the people
have gained over disease in being
enabled through the forces of
science to prove to the whole
world that yellow fever has no
terrors which cannot be overcome
and dissipated. Although yellow
fever set in early, the citizens, as
sisted by the ablest scientists of
the generation, were able to pre-
vent its gaining any dangerous
foothold. The lesson of this prac-
teal demonstration has been a very
great blessing and one for which
the people of New Orleans are de-
voutly thankful.
Whatever ills may beset the city
in the future, 1t will never again
suffer from the vague fears Of yell
low fever. Generations to come
will look back and bless thc-a. who
fought the good fight and won the
victory of science over disease,
possible under Divine guidance,
during the summer of 1905.

PITTSBURG.
BY Mayor VIM. 3. Hays.

Pittsburg has greater reason
than ever before to be thankful
thankful it is Pittsburg, the
Smoky City," for the clouds Of
smoke by day and the thousands
of tongues of flame from the fur
naces by night are the outward
manifestation of the forces that
are leading Pittsburg on to great
er achievement in the industrial
world.
Twenty million dollars have
been expended in the extension of
industrial enterprises, affording
employment for many thousands
more wprkmen.
The year has been one of I'M
usual prosperity. both industrially
and commercially; no serious
strikes have interrupted the
wealth producing forces, and both
labor and capital have prospered
bounteously. This city should be
thankful for the efforts toward
clean, honest government; for the
advancement of the work on a fill
tration plant to cost $6,000,000,
which will provide pure water for
all sections of the city; for the
growth of sentiment in favor of a
Greater Pittsburg" that shall en-
brace a population of nearly one
million; and for the benefactions
of Andrew Carnegie in erecting a
school of technology at a cost Of
several million dollars, whose
courses opened this fall. and in
reconstructing and ADDING to the
Carnegie institute at cost of sew
eral more million dollars.

SAN FRANCISCO.
BY Mayor e. e. Schmitz.

San Francisco should be thank
full for the great prosperity Pro-
violence has bestowed upon her
during the current year. Never
before in her history has she pos
sessed so many material evidences
of the unparalleled success that
has attended upon her people. From
all parts of the earth strangers
have come to her, and taken up
their abode within her golden
gates. Banker and merchant,
wholesaler and retailer, mechanic
and laborer, have all partaken of
their respective parts of the boun-
ty heaped upon us.
In the midst or all this glorious
prosperity, the people remember,
with thanks, the fervor of which
mere words cannot indicate. that
the city for long time past has
been blessed with industrial peace;
that capital and yaDor have Joined
forces in making this a great mu-
nicipality. That these conditions
shall continue is the ardent wish
of all the people. Those who love
the city for her own sake, and
who abhor that spirit which would
precipitate contest of class
against class; those of us who see
in the freedom Of the people from
oppressive conditions the greatest
glory the city can ever acquire,
will add to their thanks for our
great prosperity an appeal for the
preservation of the manhood and
the integrity Of the common peo-
pie.

GOOD THINGS
IN THE STREET
AT TER MISHAP

Hungry people had an idea of
what some people would have for
Thanksgiving dinner this morning
when the delivery sleigh of the
Portland Bakery mad a mishap at
Riverside and Wall street.
The horses drawing the vehicle
started to run, the 'front.' hobs pull
ed away from tho sleigh and the
latter was turned over.
In the catastrophe many a stuff
ed and roasted porker and turkey
went to the ground. Willing hands
caught the horses and other kindly
dispositioned peop.e stood about
the wreck viewing the savory edi-
bles and wishing that the feast was
already spread.
The entire load was recovered
and delivered to the patrons who
had ordered it.

many throughout the northwest
that are devoted to the drama. The
new building Is now rapidly near
in gcompletion, a force of men be-
ing engaged in pushing the work
for the opening ON Monday eve
ming.
One feature OF the new theater
which will strongly appeal to the
vaudeville loving public is the fact
that the theater is so arranged that
distinct view of the stage Is OBJ
tanned from every part of the house
There is not a single post to on-
struct the view, and the slope of
the floor is sufficient to relieve all
necessity for neck craning.

ferent parts of the country.
The specific act under considera-

cation of Nethercutt that the coun-
ty paid the bindery $126.50 for a

own use all over the 800 mark.
There is some talk, though this
cannot be verified, that another in

the authorities before the incident
is closed.
In fact, there are all sorts Of ru-

man came along and stated he
could get no one to Identify him,

At this time an idea came into

his friend the farmer lend them
enough money to get home on.
They would let him keep the draft
for security.
Surely a $500 draft endorsed was
