Issue Settled.

The issue which arose yesterday be-
tween the Alexandria city and Alexan-
dria county authorities, as to who should
holl the inquest over the remains OF
James Richardson. colOred, was settled
this morning by DR.. W. r. Purvis, Cor
oner of this city, who went to Demalne
& Sons undertaking establishment and
ordered the remains to be buried. bis
order was Immediately carried out, and
when DR.. Ashton, County Coroner, Con-
stable Cornell and the jury reached this
city this morning for the purpose OF hold
ing another inquest at IL o'clock they
found nothing upon which to hold their
investigation. They said they would
return to the county, lay the facts be-
fore Commonwealth Attorney Mackey
and be guided by his counsel in the
matter. This seems to be new issue.
For many years inquests have been held
in Alexandria over the bodies of people
who have met their destbsin other parts
of the State, and the right of the Coro-
ner N do 80 has never heretofore been
L a.
questioned. The county authorities
often come here and hold Investigations
over persons killed several miles from
Alexandria. Richardson was KILLED by
Alexandria policemen who are State
officers. within stones throw OF the
city limits, while they we're endesvoring
20 serve a Commonwealth's warrant
It il understood that the county autho-
rites were notified of the shooting and
Richardson lay dead where he fell tor
some time while the officers were
awaiting to hear from them. The
body was finally taken to DE.
maine & Sons establishment, and
Yesterday DIR. Purvis held the inquest.
1ome of the county officials think grave
complications are likely to arise and
tbat the undertakes will be held re-
sponsible for taking charge of the re-
mains and buryiDg them. 1t IS SAID by
those in position to know that it is law
full to hold an inquest wherever the oody
happens to be, and the matter, it is be-
Iieved, will prove to be tempest IN
teapot.

Cnnditinns 10 Russia.

St. Petersburg, Nov. 29.-The proc.
lamalion of martial law at Sevasiopol
has caused nearly the entire population
TO fee from the city, a. the people fear
there will be pitched battle there be-
tween the mu,inous sailors and soldiers
and the loyal troops. All the surround
ing towns and villages are crowded with
fugitive men, women and children from
Seyastopol. Seyastopol, according to
today's advices, is filled with troops,
which have arrived there within the last
few days, and it is believed that these
soldiers will remain loyal to the govern
ment. Mrchine guns have been placed
in the streets and preparations have
been made to carry out the decision OF
the local authorities to force the mutt
neers to give in to the government. A
dispatch from Sevastopol received this
morning says that meeting OF null
neers was held last night and at that
time the rebellious soldiers and sailors
asked what terms would be given
Them if they surrendered. The naval
staff aflirms the reports that the mutt
neers at ScvsstopOl have been surround
ed and will be forced to surrender. The
mutineers will be court martialed and
punished, but will not be shot. Other
severe punishment will be inflicted upon
upon them, however. The railway EN-
ployees have refused to transport troops
to Sevastopol, aud this has delayed the
government in getting soldiers to the
storm centre. A deputation waited
upon Count Witte to ask that Father
Gapon, the we'll known priest who was
the leader Of the wOrkmen at the time
OF The disturbances last January, should
he allowed to reside in ST. Petersburg.
The premier laughed when this request
was made and said it came too late, as
Father Gspon is already here.
st. Petersburg, Nov, 29. 4;SO P. m.--
Adyices Just received from SevsstopOl
state that the Black Sra squadron, which
is largely in the hands of mutineers, Is
ready to lombard the city. The au-
thorlies, however, express their certain
opinion that the mutineers are prepar-
ing to surrender
st. Petersburg, Nov. 20. The gen.
era situation is considered desperate.
1t is now feared that the railway ems
ployes will join the strike in a body.
There was frantic selling today On The
stock exchange and prices were the low

THE FIRST THANKSGIVING
A Contemporary Account of the Pho.
neer Feast in 1921.

A Contemporary Account of the Pio-
neer Feast in 1921.
The first Thanksgiving day was cele-
hrated in h autumn of 1921.
An account of the pioneer of all these
feasts has been presented in a letter by
Edward Winslow written in the same
year:
You shall understand that in this
little time that few of us have been
here W. have built seven dwelling
houses and four for the use of the plan
tation and have made preparations for
eleven Others. We set the last spring
some twenty acres of corn and sowed
some six acres of barley and peas.
Our corn did prove we'll, God be
praised, and u barley Indifferent
good, but our peas not worth harvest
ing. u harvest being got in, our
so that we might after a special man
ner rejoice together after we had gath
cred the fruit of our labors. They four
in one day killed as much fowl as, with
a little help beside, served the whole
company almost a week, at which time
among other recreations we exercised
our arms, many OF the Indians arriv-
ing among us. and among the rest their
greatest king, Massasoit, with ninety
men, whom for three days we enter
tanned and feasted. And although it
be not always SO plentiful as it was at
this time with us, yet, by the goodness
Of God, we are so far from want that
we often wish o partakers OF our
plenty"
Thus Thanksgiving was born.
1t continued to be celebrated. though
not with any regularity, for about six
ty years, after which it was annually
ordered by the general court, not al
ways in November, but generally after
the harvests were gathered.

Romantic Necklace story.
From the Boston Transcript.

EIOul Tile loOSCO1f TRANSCRIPT.
There is a romantic story attaching
to h great ope of pearl worn by the
Princess Frederick of Hanover at re-
Gent functions. They are magnificent
specimens and very DID. Centuries ago
q princess of the house loved them so
in process of time the great grief of
es:er relatives grew gradually fainter
and fainter until they begin to whisper
what a shame 1t was that such glorious
Jewels should be wasted. One day the
princess tomb was opened and the
fpearl necklace taken from her neck.
But the pearls We're spoiled; they had
lost their lustre and beauty. The new
owner wept over them and dreamed
about them, and her dream told her
that three generations of lovely women
would have to wear them before their
slustre returned. Three lovely prin-
;cesses did wear them. and they are
now pearls without peers.

Times-Union, If he knew how to pre-

scribe confessed ignorance.

What's that got to do with tho
preparation of a turkey?"
Everything. S%aturate enough corn

Feed that to your gobbler. The old
fellow will like it. First thing you
know he feels his oats, or, more prop
erly, his corn. He will spread his tail
to the breeze, trail his wings on the
ground and nap off circles under the
impression that he own the earth and
is the boss of everything on it. He will
fluff up his feathers, wrinkle his neck
and look intensely serious, all the
while splitting the atmosphere into

moro frequent, bu less coherent, he
gives a lurch backward and another
forward, jabs his bill in the ground,
