AMERICANS THE
LIONS OF PARIS
M'C0RMICRS RECEPTION THE
EVENT OF THE SEASON
THE CASTELLANES ENTERTAIN
Princess de Bearn elorles In Jewels
Specially Brought From Oriental
Countries, Including Famous
Historic Collar

Special Cable to The Herald.
PARIS, July 9.-A1l Parlslans agree
that the waning end of the season has
been made by American events more
brilliant than any period of its height
except for the visits Of the two kings.
The splendid reception with which Mr..
Mccormick opened the social side of
his ambassadorship, the Bearn- Winans
wedding, the gorgeous entertainment
by Count Boni de Castellane and the
innumerable smaller affairs that grew
around these dominating events caused
what has been called the american
decade" ten days during which the
social center shifted, and to be an
American was to be at the heart of
social life.
The reception was primarily dip
lomatlc and for French society. Thir-
teen hundred invitations were issued
by Mr.. Mccormick, 400 to the diplo-
matte body, 300 were, according to
usage, offered to the minister of for
eign affairs to be distributed among
politicians artists and writer's; 400
were TeSeINeQ IOr fTeHCn SOClely, 1UV
were scattered among the ministers
for their personal friends, and the re-
naming hundred were issued to the
American colony and visitors. 1t was
inevitable that there should be much
disappointment, but every one was
forced to recognize the absolute neces-
sity of Americans at the official inau-
guration yielding to representatives of
the national life of France.
Mrs. Mccormick was much admired
as she stood with the ambassador for
hours at the head of the magnificent
flower decked staircase, greeting his
guests. She wore an exquisite toilet
of white satin, embroidered with flow
ers in gold and silver, with small dia-
monds inserted in the heart of each
ing diadem of pearls and diamonds.
Her bouquet was present from a
market woman of Paris, into whose
good graces she has already insinuated
herself.
The reception proved not only sump-
normal of official affairs, but distinctly
enjoyable.
Count Bonl's Soiree
Count Boni de Castellane's soiree was
fairy like scene; never did the palace
more recall it's model, the Grand Tri-
anon of Versailles. The gardens were
lighted by Chinese lanterns and fam

PROCLAIMS
AS A DAY FOR THANKS.
GIVING.

Washington, Nov. 1.-THE president
has issued his proclamation naming
Thursday, November 80, next. as a
day for thanksgiving.
The proclamation follows:
by the president Of the United
States, a proclamation:
When, nearly three centuries ago
the first settlers came to the country
which has now become this great re.
public, they faced not only hardship
and privation, but terrible risks to
their lives. In those grim years the
custom grew of setting apart one day
in each year for special service of
thanksgiving to the Almighty for pre-
serving the people through The chang
ing seasons. The custom has now
become national and ha.owed by I'M
memorial usage.
We live in easier ami more plenti-
ftl times than our foreiathers, the
men who, with rugged strength. faced
the rugged days; and yet the dangers
to national life are quite as great now
| as at any previous time in our history.
1t is eminently fitting thar, once a
year, our people should set apart a
day for praise and thanksgiving to the
Giver of good, and, at the sane time,
that they express their thankfulness
| Tor the abundant mercies received,
should manfully acknowledge their
shortcomings and pledge themselves
solemnly and in good faith to strive
to overcome them.
| During the past year we have been
4 hl
business prosperity has been great.
No other people has ever stool ON as
high level of material well-beiug as
ours now stands. We are not threat
ened by foes from without. The foes
fIom whom we should pray to be de-
'hvered are our passions, apperites
and follies; and against these there is
always need that we should warn.
therefore. now set apart Thurs
day, the 3Oth day of this November
as a day of thanksgiving for the past
and of prayer for the future, and on
tnat day l ask that, throughout the
country. the people gather in their
tomes and places of worship. and rem
i dering thanks unto the Most High
Tor the manifold blessings of the past
year consecrate themselves to life
OF cleanliness, honor and wisdom, SO
that this nation may do it's allotted
work on earth in a manner worthy of
those who founded it and of those who
preserved it.
In witness whereof. have here
unto set my hand and caused the seal
OF the United States to be affixed.
Done at the city of Washington,
this second day of November, in the
year of our Lord. one thousand nine

ence of the United States the one

AT INSTITUTION BEARING
HIS NAME.

Pittsburg, Nov. 1.-THE tenth an
nual celebration of Founders day, in
honor of Andrew Carnegie, founder
OF the institute, was brilliantly OBJ
served at Carnegie institute this af-
ternoon, as in former years. Gen. A.
w. Greeley, commander of the Unit
ed States signal corps, and Melville
L. Stone, general manager of the
Associated Press, were the guests of
honor and delivered the principal ad-
dresses. Carnegie Music hall was
crowded and the exercises were en-
joyed by a representative Pittsburg
audience.
President w. N. Frew made short
opening address and introduced Gen.
A. w. Greeley General Greeley,
whose subject was Geographical Ex-
ploration, Its Moral and Material Re-
SUITS said the noblest object of geo
graphical research is the extension of
civilization and to spread the benefi-
cial results gained by the enlightened
nations. The extension of trade
routes though Central Asia, he said,
was the greatest achievement of mod
ern explorers and this feat would do
1nCre to advance the civilization of
that country than centuries of mis-
sionary work.
Secretary Church read his annual re-
port, with statistics showing that 1853
branches and agencies of the library
are in operation. He promised that
the new building would be completed
in good time for the Founders day
celebration next year. and costing for
construction alone about $6.O00,0O0,
the Carnegie institute should then take
rank, in it's architecture and high pur-
poses, with the nOblest institutions
in the world.
Following Mr.. Church's report was
an address by NJ. E. Stone, general
manager of the Associated Press, on
'tlow the Worlds News is Gathered"
His address was one of exceptional
interest to the auditors.
At the close of the program the
following awards were announced in
the annual art competition:
First award gold medal and prize
of $1,000 Lucien Simon, for picture
| entitled, Evening in Studio"
Second award (silver medal and

COMING WITH
LEAGUE MEN.
POughkeepsie Will Give the
Locals a Lively Run at
Amusement Park.

Manager Mallen, of the Pough-
keepsies, has sent word to the local
management hat he is unable to an
nounce his batting order today us he
is waiting for the Boston and New
York National league teams to re-
turn to NewFYork. He counts on Sc
curing two league players to round
out his team, one OF them a pitcher.
In addition to these men he has gath
cred together the pick Of the college
players about New York,and altogeth-
en- he says he will have the strongest
aggregation he has ever brought to
this city and that's talking some, for
George always delivers the goods.
The local team will present the
same players as usual and in that con-
nection it might be remarked that
things have been running pretty
smoothly IN the way of keeping n
steady team TO represent Perth Ann
boy. Not a single change has been
made in the local lineup and none is
contemplated as it is bad policy to
break up a winning combination.
When the names of the local players
were announced some months ago and
Linderman and Mccormick We're
stated to have signed contracts, the
fans could hardly be made to believe
the news. A month has gone by, how
ever, and both these players are still
fixtures on the local team. Reports
have appeared in the New York papers
on different occasions that Linderman
would pitch at such and such a place,
but every sunday he has been IN hand
at Amusement Park. The fans are
beginning to realize that any state
ment issued by the local management
comes pretty nearly being right.
