Governor Folk has asked the Mis-
souri, Legislature to enact a law TO
make horse race betting by telephone
punishable by fine. He hopes by such
an amendment to eliminate the pos
sibility of the reopening of the race
tracks under the recent Supreme Court
decision. which would permit the re-
cording of bets by telephone to points
outside the State.
There will be racing at Crosse Point
certainly and running probably. No
meetings were held last year because
of the opposition TO betting of Public
Prosecutor Hunt who went down to
defeat at the fall election on that is
sue. The new prosecutor is favorable
to racing and it is expected that a
thirty-day running meeting will be
held, in addition to the trotting meet
ing which is already scheduled.

MOVE FOR SPECIAL
JURY FOR THAM

NEW YORK, Jan. 1O.-An order for a
special panel in the case of Harry K.
Thaw. the slayer of Stanford White,
was signed by Justice Fitzgerald in the
Supreme Court today. The order calls
for special panel of 200 talesmen for
a special jury to appear in court Mon
day, January 81.
This action on the part of Justice
Fitzgerald appears to dispose of rumors
that differences of opinion between the
Justice and District Attorney Jerome
might result in a postponement of the
beginning of the Thaw trial.

SERVICES IN OAKLAND
Text of Sermon Preached in St. Paui's
Church by Rev. {. Manages.
SERVICES WERE WELL ATTENDED
Special TIusic Was Exc:Neatly Rem
dered By Combined Choirs OF the
Several Churches.

Il will offer to Thee the sacrifice Of
thanksgiving and will call upon the
name of the Lord. ''-Ps. l16:l7.
From this text in St. Paurs N. E.
church this morning Rev. E. Manages,
pastor Of St Marks Ey. Lutheran
church, preached the annual Thanks
giving sermon to the congregations Of
the several churches Of Oakland.
Special music for the occasion was
rendered by the combined choirs Of the
Methodist, Lutheran and Presbyterian
churches, the services being union in
nature.
In his sermon Rev. Manages said in
part:
Beloved in the Lord, we are assem-
bled here today, at the recommendation
of President Roosevelt, to keep our
national Sabbath-a day Of National
thanksgiving and prayer to Almighty
God for the many blessings we have en-
ioyed during the year that has passed
since last Thanksgiving Day, and to i'm
plore His favor and mercy for the COM
ing year.
The origin of Thanksgiving Day
dates back to the time of the first set
tiers of New England, when, in a time
OF great dependency 1t was proposed,
in one of their public assemblies, to ap-
point day of fast An old farmer
arose, spoke of their provoking Heaven
with their complaints, reviewed their
mercies, showed that they had much to
be thankful for, and moved that instead

every soul be subject unto the higher
powers, and assigns as a reason for
this subsection: For there is no power
but Of Cod The powers that be are
ordained of God
''It is also highly appropriate that a
portion of this National Sabbath should
be set apart for public worship, that
there should be meeting together in
solemn assembly and that all with one
accord unite in Thanksgiving and prayer
to Him to whom we owe our being and
in whose keeping we are as individuals

AT OLD FORTRESS MONROE
lie Was Not Allowed to Enter. FIuch
to Ills DisaPpointnleTt-A Rcmi-
niscence Of the Distinguished
SOuther1er.

The following article, taken from the
Norfolk (Va.) Ledger-Dispatch Of Nov.
18th, relative to q recent visit to Fortress
Monroe by Rev. J. B. Shoup, recently
OF Bittinger, Garrett county, will be
read with interest by many Garrett
CONTAINS who are acquainted with Rev.
Shoup:
Among this weeks visitors to the
jamestown Exposition has been one FOR
whom this section of the country holds
great interest. Venerable in appear
ance, with flowing white beard, he might
have been seen looking through Fortress
Monroe as though memories Of other
days were crowding in upon him, and
as though he were living over again
events that had to do with himself, and
the ground upon which he was treadng.
He might have been noticed to stop in
front Of the historic Davis easement
and look intently at it, as though it held
peculiar interest for him. He would
have gone into it, but was not permitted
to do SO. His disappointment wasap-
parent.
Forty-two years ago this man had an
intimate association with this erstwhile
prison house, which he now desired to
enter In it he guarded one of the
most distinguished prisoners the govern
ment Of any country ever held-Jeffer-
son Davis, President Of the Southern
Confederacy.
The visitor was Rev. j. B. Shoup. Of
Fitzgerald, Ga, now a minister of the
Lutheran Church, but during the civil
strife a lieutenant in one of the bat
terie5 Of the Third Pennsylvania Heavy
Artillery, which held Fortress Monroe
during and just subsequent to the war.
In conversation with Mir Shoup before
he left the city-he came up to Norfolk
after his visit to Old Point Comfort
ne talked most entertainingly Of his as
ISOLATION and acquaintance with Mr..
Davis He said he guarded the famous
prisoner for SIX months and in that time
became intimately acquainted with him,
their relations being exceedingly pleas
ant. As commissioned officer he oc-
cupied the gun room adjoining the prison
proper and held the key which locked
the ex-President within.
He talked much with Mr., Davis, who
at times invited him to eat with him,
and thus together they shared quite
number of meals. At other times he

one great plague of our fair land has
carried hundred thousand or more
victims into untimely graves. The
President has said nothing about this.
We do not say it in a spirit of faultfnd-
ing. 1t has desolated thousands of
homes and has been more cruel than
war. After the war the widows and
orphans are cared for by the Govern
ment. Not so with those who have
been made widows and orphans by the
drink devil.
'The President mentions war. We
have been free from war. General
Sherman said, war is hell Some of
you know what war is. 1t is an awful
calamity to befall any nation. When
we think of the expenditure of billions
of money and the lives of thousands of
young men in our Civil strife we have
cause to shudder. We are at peace
with the rest of mankind This fact
calls for thanksgiving. God will be
pleased with our thanks, believe, more
than with our continually asking Him
for this, that and the other thing"
The Republican. [volume] (Oakland, Md.) 1877-current, 1907-11-28

people, to the protecting care OF Him
whose power IS infinite and unitedly
beseech Him to continue to US His favor
and blessing.
According to the order observed by
the pastors Of cur town, it is made my
duty TO appear before you and preach
sermon this morning. tits therefore,
not Of my choosing, but is a case where
there is no choice.
The time and circumstances require
that [ should direct your thought to the
consideration Of those blessings which
have come to US as a nation and to
those tokens Of Divine favour which
have characterized the past year and
which call for special expressions of
gratitude
The Psalmist says. hitherto the
Lord hath helped US. He has helped
US hitherto in every crisis Of our his
tory: through The days Of the Reyolu-
ton, through the days Of our Civil
strife and then through cur little IN
ple2santness with Spain. Hitherto
the Lord hath helped US and hence
forth will be our refuge and strength;
a very present help in trouble, If we
but implicitly obey and trust in Him.
Although we selected the theme for
our address from one Of the Psalms we
cannot well do better than take the
Presidents proclamation as our text.
The first thing the President men
tons for which we should be thankful
is that during the past year we have
been free from famine. Instead of
sending a famine upon US God has caus-
ed the earth to respond bountifully to
the efforts of the farmer to produce
crops, which has given US a plenteous
supply of all kinds Of grain and vegeta-
bles in sufficient quantities to meet all
our requirements and some to spare for
those who have them not. Think of
the famines that devastated different
parts of India within the recollection of
some of US assembled here. India
suffered terribly in 1865 and 1866.
About one million OF her people perish
ed from starvation in Bengal and
Orissa. In 1869 about a million and a
half died in Bombay, Madras, Mysore
and adjoining provinces. You and
know nothing about famine. There
has been want in different portions Of
our country, it is true, but not for lack
of supplies, but the lack Of transporta-
ion facilities
We have been free from pestilence;
from malignant and widely destructive
diseases; no epidemics Of yellow fever
or diphtheria which devastated whole
communities and brought dcsolation to
households along in the ffties. God in
His great goodness has spared US from
the pestilerce such as he visited on the
Israelites and other nations, though We
deserved them as much as they. For
instance, the pestilence which befell the
Israelites Of which we readin II Samuel,
24th chapter. In three days time there
died from Dan to Bersheba seventy
thousand men. Josephus says that
while one was burying his friend, he
himself would fall into the grave That
must have been an awful time. The

voter at the last election had been
counted Mr.. Gather would have won a
sweeping victory over his democratic
opponent. That the election was enc
Of the most crooked held in years in this
state is admitted even by some Of the
ring democrats. VINO are today cluckling
over the fact that they were able to pur-
chase republican election Of iaJ thus
defeat the VIII Of the people. It is pre-
dicted that the last election i'll mark
the beginning Of another reyc.. against
democrats and the upheaval of 1885,
which placed the republicans in power,
viii be duplicated again in 1911.
Representative J. F. C. Talbot, who
was candidate in the primaries Tor the
United States Senate, is much wrough
up over the charge that he was only in
the fight 70 keep Baltimore county from
going TO Warfeld. This accusation
Talbot hotly resents, and ne asserts
that he was a bona fine candidate and
had made no deals with John Walter
Smith or any other candidate, and a
story told of little dinner prior to cleo
ton tends to show that Talbot feels
sore over the fact that young German
supported Col. Smith. The story, as
told by the press correspondent, is that
Talbot in the course Of a speech turned
to young German and said: after all
/ did for your father, you ought to be
behind me in this fight" Young Cor
man preserved his usual calm demeanor
and quietly retorted "Well, l guess
you were well repaid for all you did for
my father. " At this poiut others at
the dinner interviewed and what promis-
ed to be an ugly battle Of words be-
tween Talbot and the son Of the late
senator and state leader was averted.
Talbot asserts that he was shabby
treated ny the organization, and that
the impression which it allowed TO be
created that he was in the fight to beat
Warhe!d caused him to lose nany votes.
Already the politicians are busily at
work in behalf Of candidates for Offices
to be filled by the governor. One Of
the most important of these plums is
the board Of police commissioners for
Baltimore city. During the past four
years the city bosses have been unable
to use the police force on election day
and this has proven a great handicap.
It was for the diyorcing Of the police
department from politics that Warfald
first came under the ban Of the old
guard. It's expected that the incom-
ing governor win name a board that viii
feel justified in allowing the police to
assist in the work Of yote-getting dur
ing campaigns and on election day. Of
one thing the politicians feel sure, and
that is that only regular" democrats
will receive the plums and that indie
pendents viii have little or nothing to
do with the Crothers administration.
