When the cansecrated men and women
from across the sea first set foot on this
rugged New England shore they gave
thanks 10 the Almighty for His guidance
and His care during their perilous. but
apparently successful voyage. From that
day 10 this the American people have re-
peatedly and continuously acknowledged
their dependence upon the allegiance In
this God OF Nations, and have. even I'm
their national notices. expersed their
trust I'm Him. For many years they have
annually set aside one day I'm which To
make public thanks for the prosperity and
care bestowed upon them as a nation.
This year there are abundant reasons
for so doing. Not only have we as indi.
viduals been blessed materially IN field
and shop. but we have as a Nation been
permitted TO join two warning peoples I'm
the bond Of peace. and TO know that a
spark from our torch OF freedom has ig
nited the watch fires In "A foreign land.
Surely there never was a time I'm our his
tory more fitting for us as people To
acknowledge publicly our allegiance and
indebtedness 10 tho Lord God Omnlpotent
and TO reaffrm our trust In Him.
Therefore in accordance with custom
and law. and following the recommended

main point argued
once plaintiff got decision for 1854 T5 IN
the jury trial waived division OF the ap-
pellate division Of the supreme court. This
decision was set aside by the vote Of three

SUSTAINED
BY COURT

The Eddy & Fisher company must pay
the verdict for 5000 awarded Joseph S.
Perry I'm his suit against the company
Today tho supreme court handed down a
rescript denying the defendants petition
for n new trial.
In the rescript the court says: There
was sufficient evidence 90 warrant the
jury in arriving at the conclusion that the
defendant was negligent i'm the manage
ment or maintenance OF its freight eleva-
tor. and that tho plaintiff was exercising
due care at the time of the accident The
testimony relative thereto was conflicting
and we cannot say that the evidence pre-
ponderates against the verdict. Neither Is
there anything 10 Indicate that the Jury
acted improperly or were Influenced by
passion. prejudice or caprice IN reaching
the result they did. Nor do we find that
the damages awarded are more than an
adequate compensation for the plaintiff's
injuries which were severe and perma-
nent
The justice who presided at the trial
did not err I'm permitting the plaintiff TO
testify that the elevator. at the time Of
the accident, had no gate. door or bell
II was perfectly proper. to allow testimony
10 be given descriptive of the elevator
and was no more Injurious 10 the defend
ant than the view or the elevator which
was taken by the jury. The fact that
the plaintiff did not count upon the alb
sence OF the gate. door or bell. as negli-
gence. In declaration,-is- immaterial
THE defendants requests to charge
were properly refused by the presiding
justice: they were altogeth~r too rigid
for the occasion. The notifications TO
the same made by the court more appro-
prlately stated the duty OF the plaintiff
In the circumstances or the case. so far
as IL could be stated as a matter OF law"
Mr.. Perry was working for a freight
