Stores Where Supplies for the Table
 Are Sold Working Overtime-Chari-
 table Effort Not FOrgOtten-Thanks-
 giving Union Services.
 At all the stores where supplies for the Thanksgiving dinners are sold there were busy times yesterday all day and evening Many of the large stores were open during the evening despite the wet weather. There were unusually attractive and tempting dis plays at all of them. To-day there will be a great laying in of supplies for the dinner tables tomorrow, which are ex- pected to ''groan." It is well also to remember the tables where 1t is feared want will preside or groans of another kind, and that this thought has ap- pealed to many is seen by the contri- buttons already being sent or on their way to the Associated Charities and the Organized Charities, and to other societies that will help make to-mor- row a real Thanksgiving for those in need. There are no doubt hundreds of cases also where private gifts from individuals direct will bring sunshine to hearts tomorrow.
 Plans are laid for the annual collec7 tions for Thanksgiving in the public schools The collections will be held to-day. This custom of the public schools of New Haven is peculiar to New Haven and means every year a great deal to the poor people. It is es- timated that nearly thousand dollars in money or merchandise is collected every year. Genuine enthusiasm to give is manifested even in the lower grades and in the districts where there is an attendance of foreigners. In the, High school the collections consist en- tirely of money and the collection reaches nearly two hundred dollars.
 Every room forms itself into socie- ty and appoints 8 committee to man. age the affairs of the room.
 Turkeys are not exceedingly plentl- full, but there will be enough to go around.
 The native" birds, and this includes any turkey claiming New England for its birthplace, are fetching from twenty-five to twenty-eight cents a pound. Large shipments of turkeys are being received from tho middle west.
 They will bring from eighteen to twenty cents a pound and are reported as not being up to standard.
 Fowl will fetch from sixteen to eigh- teen cents a pound and chicken for roasting will bring eighteen to twenty cents. Ducks and geese are classed to- gether to the tune of from eighteen to twenty cents @ pound. ,~..

The news that Russia had been grant

tried to prevent.
A most serious clash took place at
the university where students were

charged, using their rifles, lances and
whips, killing 10 and wounding 80 per-

Tom Kelly Returns That 50, 900
to State Treasury.
1t Was Done Very Quietly on
Saturday, Get. 28.
MR.. KELLY sNAPPISH.
Declines to Converse About His
Change Of Heart.
Entered as "Cash DraWn.Under
Depository Law.

Thomas T. Kelly treasure of the
state of Kansas, at last concluded
to put back the $4,000 which he appro
priated from the state funds to pay
for his surety bond. The restitution
occurred last Saturday, but for some
reason, Kelly has kept the matter very
quiet
The legislature last winter appro-
priated the $4,000 for the purpose of
paying for the bond which is required
under the provisions OF the new state
depository law. Instead of using the
$4,000 to pay for the bond required by
this law, Kelly drew the money, pre-
sumably to pay for the renewal of his
old bond with the Title Guaranty &
Trust company of Scranton, Pa. It is
claimed, however, that the money was
never used for this purpose; that the
$4,000 remained in Mr.. Kelly's possess
sion, or at least never went to the
bonding company.
At the request of some of the state
officers, Attorney General Coleman
gave Kelly the written opinion that he
would have to refund the 50, 600. Kelly
stated that he would comply with this
ruling, but he allowed several months
to elapse without making a move.
People had begun to think he had for
gotten all about it. Even Governor
Hoch stated that he supposed the
money had been refunded

day" said Assistant Auditor James NJ.

THEY WANT a REPUBLIC.
Russian AgitatOrs Are Not Satisfied
With What They Are Getting.


st. Petersburg, Nov. 1.-Noon.-A
light fall of snow covered the city
with a white mantle during the night
but this morning the weather is be-
coming cold and a drilling rain
helped to put a damper on the ardOr
of the crowds already exh suSted by
the demonstrations of yesterday. Gen
eral Trepoff's warning that he VIII
use emergency measures to prevent
disorders coupled with the reappear-
ance of pIatoons of horse and foot
soldiers also exercised a restraining
influence and the agitators expert
enced difficulty in again rOusing the
proletariat.
Many strikers among the railway
men are ready to return to work and
those in favor of continuing the strug-
gle have difficulty in holding the ma
jority. The stud and social demo-
cratic leaders who continue to declare
that only a democratic republic will
suffice are using every means in their
power to keep up the enthusiasm and
drive the people into armed collisions
with the troops A score Of big meet
ings were announced for today.
An official Thanksgiving service was
announced to take place at the Kazan
cathedral at 2 o'clock this afternoon
The news from the provinces shows
that the whole empire must have
been plunged into great excitement.
Everywhere the announcement Of the
issuing of the manifesto granting Rus
sia constitution aroused the people
to a high pitch of enthusiasm, but
everywhere the populace was divided
into two camps as in st. Petersburg,
those who accepted the boon of free
dom with intense joy and who are
denominated loyalists, and the ex-
treme radicals under the leadership of
the students, social democrats and
revolutionary organization who used
the opportunity to preach the com
plete overthrow of the government.
Clashes and sanguinary encounters
occurred at many places. In some
towns the mobs obtained control and
the authorities were forced to obey
their demands for the release of the
political prisoners. This was the case
at ByeIostow. Cossacks we're turned
loose and beat the crowds at Kazan,
Kisnieff. E<ien and other places.

Heavy Claims.
At the creditors meeting on Oct 19,
claims amounting to approximately
s2,200,000 We're presented and filed
with Referee n. H. Loomis against
the personal estate of c. J. Devlin.

follow:

The greater majority by far of
these claims are based on notes which
We're given by c. J. Devlin personally.
Contingent Liabilities.
In the report of the receivers an
excess of assets is shown over the df-
rect liabilities
Contingent liabilities appear, the
sa4loity OF which must still, however,
be determined. Should they all be up
held, then the liabilities viii overtop
the assets by S674,6S9.17.
Devlin's personal case presented as
sets of more than a million of dollars
in excess Of his liabilities.
But one of his companies is hopeless
" insoivent and that is the Mount Car
mel Coal company. It's assets are s401.
414.7s against liabilities Of 81. .256, ,820.32.
The report shows that there are still
Il, 1886 acres Of coal land unworked. It
also shows that there are 1000 acres OF
coal land in Illinois which can be work
ed within the present radius of haulage
Some question exists as to their incum-
brance. # free they will increase the
assets over 2 half million dollars.
