Itude, to acknowledge our many snd
great obligations to Almighty God, and
to implore Him to continde and con-
firm the blessings we experienced.
Deeply penetrated with this senti-
ment, I, George Washington, President
of the United States, do recommend to
all religious societies and denomina-
lions, and to all persons whomsoever,
within the United States, to set apart
and observe Thursday, the 10th day Of
February next, as day of public
thanksgiving and prayer, and on that
day to meet together and render sin
cere and hearty thanks to the great
Ruler of nations for the manifold and
signal mercies which distinguish our
lot as nation; particularly for the
possession of constitutions Of govern
ment whlci unite and. by their union,
establish liberty and order; for the
preservation Of our peace, foreign ands
domestic; for the reasonable control
which has been given toa spirit of dis
order in the suppression of the late
instruction, and generally for the pros
porous condition of our affairs, public
and private, and at the same time hum
bly, and fervently beseech the kind
Author of these blessings graciously to
prolong them to US; to imprint on our
hearts deep and solemn sense of our
obligations to Him for them; to teach
us rightly to estimate their immense
value; to preserve us from the AFRO
gance Of prosperity, and from hazard
ing the advantages we enjoy by de-
lusive pursuits, to dispose us to merit
the continuance Of His favors by not
abusing them, by our gratitude for
them, and by corresponding conduct as
citizens and as men to render this coun-
try more and more safe and propi-
tious asylum for the unfortunate of
other countries: to extend among us
true and useful knowledge; to diffuse
and establish habits Of sobriety, order,
morality, and plety, and finally to inn
part all the blessings we possess or
ask for ourselves to the whole family
of mankind.

Miners at Wilkesbarre Listen
to Roosevelt.
HIS THEME, FAIR PLAY ON BOTH SIDES
'Let Me Urge" said President, "Thnt

selves willing TO Trent Each
Other FairIy.v

WILKESBARRE, Pa, Aug. H.
From every section of the anthracite
region miners and temperance work
ers by the thousands came here to hear
President Roosevelt speak. Before
daylight they had camped in advanta-
geous spots. Mayor Kirkendall esti.
mated that there We're 5000 visitors.
All the mines were closed, many of the
mills and stores suspended business
for the day, and most of the trades
union men quit work at noon.
John Mitchell, president of the mine
workers, chairman of the day, arrived
early and received many delegations of
mine workers.
The Catholic Total Abstinence union
delegates transacted little business,
and 10000 uniformed cadets and sol
diers of two regiments of the order pa
raded. This parade ended in time for
the regiments to line the streets and
keep back the great crowds.
The speech of President Roosevelt
was the great event of the day. He
said:
Il am particularly glad to speak to
this audience Of miners and their
wives and children and especially to
speak under the auspices of this great
temperance society. The happiness of
Il people depends most of all upon
the welfare of the wageworker and
the welfare of the farmer. If we can
secure the welfare of these two classes
we can be reasonably certain that the
community as n whole will prosper.
Something can be done by combina-
ton and organization among ourselves
so long as this organization is managed
with wisdom and integrity, with insist
ence upon the rights of those benefited
and yet with just regard for the rights
of others. But in the last analysis the
factor most influential In determining
any mans success must ever be the
sum of that mans own qualities, of his
knowledge, foresight, thrift and cDur-
age.
mo one society can do more to help
the wageworker than such a temper
ance society as this. 1t is of i%ncalcula-
bic to the man himself
that he should be temperate, and it is
Of even more consequence to his wife

There's such an unfinished look about

For the ov%erhangings and upholstery
and for odd little portieres (where YOU
prefer a different sort of portiere to
madras) there are silkolines and Gre
tonnes, denims and taffetas, all of
which wash, in spite of their colors-
silkoline perhaps less well than he
other three.
Figured denims are always-or so
nearly always as to be the rule-of a
single color, the difference being only
in the weave, but seemingly more in
color from the way the light strikes
those differences.
Taffeta in upholstery stuffs is q

like those of tapestries, and is as pref

Silkoline. of course, as its name
would imply, copies the designs of
drapery silks; and where it can be
made to answer the same purpose, does
it at about one-sixth the cost. But
silkoline should always be weighted
or slipped on a rod in the lower hem
as we'll as at the upper. 1t is too
'~'sleazy' a stuff to hang free, and soon
gets a bedraggled look. Weighing 1t

makes it last longer.
