HEAD OF REVOLUTION.
Five Hundred Resume Work and Ameri-
cans are GOING Back to Cananea.

Word has been received from Can
anea that Gutierrez de Lara, who
formerly resided in Douglas, has
been arrested as one of the ring
leaders of the riots at Cananea, and
that he will be executed.
De Lara is a Mexican lawyer and
left Douglas about eighteen months
ago. He lived here with his sister
and about two years ago bother of
De Lara, who is lieutenant in the
Mexican army, visited him here.
Douglas people who resided here at
that time will remember seeing him
walk the streets in uniform, carrying
his sword. Vice Consul Maza ordered
him to keep his sword off while in the
city.
From private advices received here
from Cananea, Enrique Bermudez,
who is said to have instigated the
riots, is still at large, and is probably
now in this country. He has many
friends in this section of the coun-
try, who will see that he is taken
care of.
Bermudez is one of the brightest
and best educated Mexicans who ever
lived in Douglas. But he is an intense
"patriot,' and an active agitator
against President Diaz. He was
formerly cashier in the custom house
at Naco, and was involved in the
scandal there several years ago, and
it was said that he got away with the
bulk of the missing money, but it
could never be proven. Jail SEN
tences for agitating liberal ideas
failed to bluff him, and it is undoubt-
edly a good thing tor him that he
made his gateway from Cananea in
time, as his case has become "dobe
WALL affair for him.
With the aid of his newspaper, Ell
Centenario, publication of which be-
gan April l, 1906, Bermudez organ
lied what they called the industrial
company of laborers," the organiza-
tion being perfected April II, with
Jose Maria Ramirez, Jr., as presi-
dent, and Bermudez as secretary.
Quirino Torres was treasurer. FL
Centenaria was the official organ of
the society, and in it Bermudez
called on the Mexican laborers to
stand for their rights. In the early
numbers nothing was said in opposi
tion to Americans, the attacks being
against the Greene company.
A copy of the paper dated April 2.
was received in Douglas last week,
which gaye the impression that the
society was to have branches in all
the mining camps of Sonora. In one
article particular attention was
directed to the Phelps-Dodge COM
pany at Nacozari, which was bitterly
attacked for grinding down the Mexi-
can laborers in their employ.
People who kno:| Bermudez laugh
at the stories that American agita-
tors were at the bottom of the dis
turbanCes at Cananea, and while
that would-be reformer was always
in touch with the revolutionary
party which has its headquarters in
st. Louis, it is not believed that he
was acting under any instructions
from them.-Re view.

TYPE OF ENGINE WHICH rs WIN
MING OCEAN SPEED RECORD.
British shipowners Installing Them In
New Leviathans. Expect them to
Be Faster Than German Boats.

Faster, ever faster, is the aim Of
railroads crossing the continent, and
steamboat sailing the vast ocean, and
the turbine engine has come to help
the latter cut down the time between
ports, and revolutionize the system of
propulsion of the big leviathans. When
the North German Lloyd ship, the
Kaiser Wilhelm der Crosse beat the
Lucania and the Campania, the crack
Cunarders. British pride was hurt,
for there had been nothing on the
ocean fast enough to beat her vessels
since the days when the Britannia,
the pioneer Cunarder, was launched
on the Clyde in 1S40 and attained the
average speed of eight and one-half
knots per hour. But the English ship
owners have been determined that
they would win back the speed rec
ords, even from the fast Deutschland,
OF the Hamburg-American line, whose
speed of 1882 knots has amazed Inc
world, and are building two new
steamships which will not only be
the largest ever built, but will be
equipped with monster turbine en-
gines that are expected to give a
speed of thirty knots per hour.
In the construction of these tur-
bines Is constituted one of the most
interesting achievements in marine
engineering, and it is being watched
with some apprehension and great
curiosity, not only by the Cunard
lines competitors but by the naval
authorities of the world, who have
generally shown some hesitancy in
adopting the turbine for ships of war;
When the Union Steamship COM
pany, OF New Zealand, took a turbine
passenger and cargo steamer on a
long ocean voyage, the first large YES
sci so equipped, the new industry re-
ceived great impetus. particularly
in view of the more than satisfactory
speed results obtained in variors
places. The Viking, built by Sir w.
G. Armstrong, Whitworth & Co., Linn
tied, for the Isle of Man Steam Packet
company, and guaranteed to do %
knots, has maintained an average of
231a knots and at times touched "a
knots
Among the other vessels success
fully equipped with turbines were two
large liners for the Allan company,
which made 17.05 knots between Glas-
gov and Montreal. Altogether more
than thirty turbine vessels had been
launched in England when the Cunard
company adopted the Parsons engine
for the Inauguration of new era in
Atlantic passenger service. The Car
mania was laun ched from the works
of John Brown & Co. early in 1905,

sUMPTUoUs REPAsT OF
HALF A CENTURY AGO
Tastes of Our Ancestors Seem TO
Have Been for Heavy Dishes
and Many of Them

At Thanksgiving time so much Is
heard of old-fashioned dinners that it
may be interesting to readers to hear
what the term signified in Philadel.
phia some years ago.
About so years ago a large dinner
was very different to what it is now.
In the first place courses, such as we
know them. were practically unknown;
even in the wealthiest houses there
was rarely anything but soup proceed
ing the actual dinner, but this soup
was generally very rich.
Such a dinner consisted about as
follows: First handsome silver-cov-
cred soup tureen was placed on the
table, filled with mock turtle or per-
haps venison soup, and all were
plentifully helped, the great silver
ladle, corresponding to the tureen,
doing good service. After the soup
plates were removed a great roast
turkey decked with celery and cram
berries and marvelously trussed and
dressed was placed at one end of the
table while at the other was large
piece of Ia mode beef on a platter.
Roast duck and apple sauce some
times took the place of a la mode
beef but the two ends of the table
had always their respective meats or
poultry. Sweet and white potatoes
and every sort Of vegetable to be had
obtained a place on the festive board,
while cunning molds of cranberries
and jellies and gravies, pickles and
the like were in abundance.
There was generally what was
known as an "oyster pie"-stewed
oysters served in puff-paste shell,
the rich dressing of the oysters be-
ing made thick with egg.
There was no salad course, but of
desserts there was no dearth. Pump
kin pie, mince pie, and always won
derfully constructed meringue and
either jelly or custard, sometimes
both, served in glasses, while plates
and nutcrackers were handed around
for the nuts.
The centerpiece was invariably a
great pyramid of fruits arranged on
a cut-glass or Dresden china epergne,
cluU, WHICH, LuS IdUlS was fcly s,
there were sometimes two of these
fruit pyramids.
A little later, after the guests had
adjourned to the drawing-room, coffee,
ices and fancy cakes were served to
them there. There were no little
after-dinner coffee cups in those days,
but generous breakfast sizes of finest
French eggshell china, often exquisite
ly handpainted with landscapes or
picked out in gold.
When there was large party of
young people, a separate table was
set for them in the small library,
which in those days, was generally
built back of the dining-room, the
latter being in the back building of
the second floor, corresponding to the
library or sitting room of to-day.
The back parlor" was used only as
such then or as breakfast room, the
state dining-room being invariably
upstairs, and sometimes there was
not even a dumb-waiter to assist in
carrying things up from the kitchen
below, so that a large dinner was no
easy matter to serve in those days Of
large families and lavish hospitality

the two leviathans, the Mauretania
and the Lusitania.
Each of these monster ships is 100
feet long, IS feet broad and 60 feet
deep, with 10000 horse power, cal.
culated to maintain a speed Of %
knots, or thirty miles an hour, in
crossing the Atlantic. Each will have
a capacity of $500 passengers. and in
every feature they are designed to be
the most superb as well as the largest
and fastest liners afloat. After all,
though, the chief interest lies in the
monster turbine engines. which are
expected to drive the ships ahead OF
the German liners and regain for
Great Britain her lost prestige Of
speed.

Bayberries for Thanksgiving Candles

Sayperrles TOR thanksgiving Candles.
The revival of many an old time in
dustry has brought into vogue the
bayberry candle, beloved of our grand
mothers, and here and there along
country byways men and women may
now be found garnering the aromatic
berries, which some enterprising wom-
an has engaged to make into candles,
says the Providence Daily Journal.
1t requires a quart of berries to
make one candle. They should be
kept in dry place till ready to use,
then put into preserve kettle, allow
ing two quarts of water to one of
berries. They should be boiled for
four hours, filing up the kettle with
hot wafer as it boils away. Then set
it back where it will simmer a while
and at night set away to cool. In the
morning the wax will have formed In
large cake on Top of the water, and
after melting and straining through a
piece of fine lawn II cheesecloth it is
ready to pour into the candle molds.
These candles give out a sweet, arc.
matte odor, which perfumes the room.

game. DR.. Hutchins has been engaged
IN physical culture work and the prac-
tice of medicine for ten years. His
father is a leading physician of
Brooklyn, N. Y, where the Badger
athletic director was born. He first
went to Williams college, but before
graduating decided to transfer to Co.
lumbus university, from which insti-
tuition he graduated in 1894.
A matter of interest always in ref
erence to college athletics is the
pay of the coaches and trainers. 1t
is doubtful whether any western col
lege pays as princely a sum as does
Harvard or Yale. 1t has been stated
that Mike Murphy, the former athletic
trainer at Yale, was receiving a high
er salary than President Hadley, of
the New Haven institution, when he
left Yale for Pennsylvania to re-
ceive still higher salary. But,
speaking of salaries at Harvard, you
are on doubtful ground, for none who
know will state what the compensa-
ton of the athletic trainer is there.
1t Is said that Bill Reid received a
salary of $1,000 for coaching the
varsity football team at Harvard for
q year. Reid actually coaches the
team for three months. but for seven

A novel suggestion for Thanksgiv.
ing party is Mock Turkey" One
was made last year by taking a knit
ting basket and covering it with
brown holland. The handle of the
basket ran lengthwise, thus serving
as an excellent breast bone for the
turkey. The brown holland was
artistically adjusted to simulate legs,
wings and neck. 1t was then tinted
to the requisite shades by the liberal
use of burnt umber- paint The STUFF
fing of this turkey consisted of trifiing
gifts, accompanied with appropriate
rhymes. The carving" of the turkey
was attended with much pleasant ex.

people find time to be thankful for or
realize the everyday and vital bless
tngs that are curing in upon them.
The Puritans must have recognized
chs even in their day, when they in
augurated a custom that has become
as firmly fixed as the constitution of
the United States. While the ad-
herents of the Pilgrim church, which
was exiled from England in 1908 and
sent colony over to New England
in the Maynower in 1920, are unques-
tionably to be credited with our ma
tional Thanksgiving day, which ap-
peals so deeply to the heart of the
patriotic American, the custom of
Thanksgiving was undoubtedly sug-
gested by the Hebrew Feast of the
Tabernacles" or Feast of Ingather-
ing" at the end of the year. Occa-
eional thanksgiving was not unusual
en- Europe.
After the first harvest of the colon
fists at Plymouth in 1921 Gov Bradford
sent four men out fowling that they
might rejoice and celebrate in feast
ing together. In July 1923, a day of
fasting and prayer was appointed on
account of the drought. Rain came
while the people were praying and the
governor appointed day for thanks
giving which was observed with re-
ligious service. There was a similar
change of fast-day into Thanksgiving
In 1881, when supplies came from Ire
land. All of these earlier appoint
ments, however, were made at various
seasons of the year and for special
purposes-usually for the timely ar
rival of ships with supplies-but in
later years on account of the harvests.
This substantiated a fixed Thanksgiv-
ing day late in the fall after the har-
vest time was over, and also the cele-
bration of the day by first religious
service and then a feast. When the
revolutionary war began Thanksgiv-
ing had become a national holiday and
was annually recommended by con-
Gress. However, after the general
Thanksgiving for peace in 1884 there
was no national appointment until
1889, when President Washington by
request of congress, recommended
setting aside day of thanks for the
adoption of the constitution. In later
years, during the civil war, Lincoln
issued a proclamation recommending
a special thanksgiving for victory in
1852 and 1863. Since then proclama-
lions have been made by the president
and governors of the various states,
and custom has fixed the date on the
last Thursday in November.
1t is 2S4 years since that first
Thanksgiving dinner in New England
was eaten, but to many of us the
aroma of the turkey as we gather
around the table, surrounded by fam
fly and friends to offer up thanks for
the abundance of worldly goods with
which our households have been sup
piled, will recall the legends of the
old New England days and review the
customs of that Thanksgiving in Ply
mouth in 1921. With little stretch
Of the Imagination one can almost dis
Germ that throng of sober-looking
bearded men, clad in dark colored gar
ments and wearing steeple-crowned
hats, with here and there among them

this that Hester Prynne faced when
condemned to wear. the scarlet letter.

The True Thanksoivino.

Not In the form of a hollow prayer,
Nor the weightless words thou nearest
Not in the mirth round the festal fare
Is gratitude sincerest.
But deep in the bosom an unvoiced song
OF praise for the joy of living,
For roses that blossom Lies path along
That is the true Thanksgiving.
