President Names November 20 as Day
on Which II Shall BE Done.
Washington, Oct. 24.-The president
Tuesday issued proclamation naming
Thursday, Nov. 20, as a day of thanks
giving. The proclamation Is, In part,
ait follows:
Never before in our history or In
the history Of any other nation has a
people enjoyed more Astounding mater.
ial prosperity than Is ours; a pros
perity so great that 1t should arouse
in us no spirit of reckless pride, and
least of all spirit of needless disre
gard of our responsibilities; but
rather a sober sense of our many
blessings, and resolute purpose.
under providence, not to forfeit them
by any action of our own.
upon our material well-being must
be built up superstruction OF indi.
vidual and national life lived in ac-
cordance with the laws of the high
est morality, or else our prosperity
itself will in the long run turn out
a curse instead of a blessing. We
should be both reverently thankful
for what we have received and
earnestly bent upon turning 1t into a
means of grace and not Of destruc-
ton"

The general manager of one of the
largest news companies in Missouri,
with headquarters in st. Louis, has
sent out orders to all of the company's
stands to cut out all cheap literature
that has tendency to make heroes Of
criminals. The order reads that of all
the Jesse James, Younger Brothers and
Dalton Brothers hooks should be sent
in Immediately, and hereafter, it is an
nounced, only first class literature can
be bought on the trains which have a
contract with that company. 1t is ex-
pected that the example thus set will
aid other news companies in making a
similar move.
This order, even with due credit for
sincere desire to improve the tone of
reading matter offered to the company's
patrons, can hardly be regarded other
wise than as reflection of the public
taste and demand. Without doubt. the
general manager of that news company
is, or thinks he is, taking this step on
his own initiative. For this he is to be
commended. But the probability is
that he is too shrewd a business man to
undertake to dictate to his patrons as to
what they shall read, or to withhold
from them such literature as they de-
mand. Hence the conclusion that the
reading public is stunning trashy
novels and inclining to better books

IN DEPLoRABLE CONDITION.
Governor Maaoon Visits Cuba's Ma
tonaI Insane ASYLUM.

Havana, Oct Ex-Governor Magoon
visited the national insane asylum on
Sunday afternoon, and discovered a
deplorable state of affairs there. One
thousand six hundred and sixty per-
sons, of both sexes, are crowded into
filthy and dilapidated buildings, with
a capacity for 400 persons only. They
are sleeping on broken cots-relics Of
the last American occupation.
Congress made an appropriation to
enlarge the asylum, but the money
was never expended. The conditions
today are very little better than under
Spanish control. Governor Magoon
will take steps to erect additional
buildings and remedy the abuses.

JEFFRIES' LATEST OFFER.
Willing to Fight Any White Heavy
weight for $50, 900.
.neci.l nisnatch to The StaI

Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK. December 22-Jeffries has
now made a definite declaration that he will
fight any white man in the world for a $50
600 purse This means that Johnson, the
colored pugilist. is barred. Unless the
numerous fight promoters in Nevade lose
their senses jeff, under these conditions
will have to wait long time before he can
re-enter the ring. The white heavy weights
now in harness are Brien, 160-pounder'
Burns. a 10 FOUNDER; Kaufman, second
rater; Gardner, has-been, who VIII prob
ably never be asked to fight again; Marvin
Hart, who was a cinch for Burns; Sam
Berger a poor apology for a fighter, and
two novices named Jim Barry and Kid Cut
Ter, who are just breaking into the game
under the protecting wing of John l. Sui
livan Squlres of Australia is an unknown
quantity, and IL he comes to America he
cannot beregarded as a drawing card in a
battle with Jeffrfes until he has beaten
somebody like Burns or Brien. When
Jeffries says. therefore, that he will fight
any of these pugilists for $4,000. he is
probably hoping that some half-brained
promoter in Nevada win so far forget him
self as to hang up this enormous purse.
