PRUsslAN DIET OPENS.
Chancellor Won 6uelow Reads Speech
From the Throne.


r. Berlin, Nov. 2I.-The Prussian diet
opened in the White hall Of the pal
ace, Prince Won Buelow, the imperial
chancellor, in the emperor's absence.
reading the speech from the throne.
1t stated that the growth of permanent
expenditures had increased the budget
by over s25,O0O,OOO.
The chancellor said that a deficit is
expected in the current year owing to
the: increased expenses in the railroad
administration and that the govern
ment would have to resort to loan
for extending the railroad system,
building new roads, double tracking
old lines and for additional rolling
stock
The speech foreshadows a bill au.
thorizing the government to acquire
Polish estates by condemnation pro-
ceedings under the law of eminent do
main. This measure, which was &C.
lively discussed some months ago, is
expected to reopen the agitation over
the Polish question in an acute form.
The governments project has been
criticised by even the leading Con-
servative organs. The speech from
the throne expressed the governments
conviction that both houses of the
diet will give active cooperation in
the settling of this grave national
question"
At the conclusion Of his remarks
the chancellor was greeted with loud
applause, mingled with Kisses from
the Poles.

OFFICIALS LOCKED IN VAULT
Bank at Clinton, Ill.,, Held Up by
Two Men.

Bloomington, Ill.,, Nov. 2 The
State bank at Clinton was held up and
robbed of $4,000 in coin by two men,
who made their escape. 1t was just a
few minutes after closing time when
the men appeared in the bank and
with drawn revolvers forced Assistant
Cashier George Argo, Cashier Murphy
and Bookkeeper John Young to enter
the big vault, which they locked. The
bulk of the money had already been
placed in the currency safe Of the
vault and the time lock set, but $4,000
in gold and silver remained on the
counter. This the robbers shoveled
into a bag and took with them to the
Hotel Renion, where they had pre-
viously engaged room. They had
arranged the money in rolls so that
it could be easily carried and were
just about to leave the hotel when Of
ficers learned of their presence and
attempted to break in the door.
Before they succeeded, however, the
robbers jumped from a window on to
an adjoining roof, taking $500 in gold
and leaving $500 in silver in the
room. 1t was dark when the men es-
capped from the hotel and all trace of
them was lost. A posse was orga-
nized and the country IS being
secured. -

Of more than 500, gathered on Nov. %
last year at the Hotel Cecil for the an.

ty. The dining hall and the tables
were decorated with products Of field
and garden and favors. The menu
was in the shape of a pumpkin, to
which was attached corn husk Am

American consul general, the embassy
staff and the head masters of Eng

After the toast to King Edward had
been honored the Rev. Edward Little

the health of President Roosevelt He
said that, speaking for the schoolboys
Of England. no living parsonage was
as interesting as the American presi-
dent, whose craftsmanship, honesty
and strength had made him the adj

men. The speaker declared President
Roosevelt to be the most important
figure in civilization.

RUSE PREVENTS PANIC.
Fire Occurs in Building Where Hun
dreds Are at Work.

Fire occurs in Building Where Hun
dreds Are at Work.
London, Nov. 2 Fire broke out in
big athletic Quitting establishment
in Holborn and the building and stock
were heavily damaged before the
flames were extinguished. There were
1900 employees on the premises at the
time, including 600 women and girls,
but they all got out safely, thanks to
ruse employed by one of the man
ayers.
The fire started in one of the upper
stories. It was soon seen to be seri.
Gus and realizing the probable conse-
quences of a panic the manager con-
ceived the expedient of emptying the
building quickly by announcing to the
women that the firm had decided to
let them off to go out and see a pass
ing parade. The manager hurried
through the rooms, calling out to the
girls and women, "This way for the
parade. This way to see the show"
They got the women started towards
the staircases, down which they were
hurried. BY the time they discovered
the real cause of the rush they were
safe beyond the reach Of the fire. The
only person in any way injured was
the secretary of the firm, whose
whiskers were burned while he was
saving the books.

~O Abraham Lincoln we are in
debted for the establishment Of
our national thanksgiving day
by presidential proclamation.
He was the first president to designate
the last Thursday in November as
day Of thanksgiving twice in success
sion. The first proclamation, which
made the event explicitly "a day of
thanksgiving and praise" was issued
war. 1t is literary masterpiece. In
stead Of beginning with review OF
victories at arms, it appropriately
opens thus: "The year that is drawing
toward its close has been filled with
the blessings of fruitful fields and
healthful Skies" Then the great presi-
dent passes on to speak Of the war,
giving thanks that foreign nations have
remained at peace with us and COM
mending to Gods "tender care all those
who have become Widows orphans,
mourners or sufferers in the lamenta-
BILE civil strife in which we are I'M
avoidably engaged"
For fifty eight years, since 1915, no
president had proclaimed day Of ma
tional thanksgiving. President James
Madison in the year mentioned pro
claimed the second Thursday in April
as day of thanksgiving "for the
blessings of peace" reference being
made to the close of the war Of 1872
by the treaty of Client on the preced-
ing Dec. "a. Lincoln's proclamation of
1863 was the first designation of ma

Great preparations had been made
for the dinner, and Mr.. Keen felt sat

BILE. 1t was holiday. The wind out
side was cold, and the warmth inside
was all the more genial.
"Well, guess we have little some
thing to be thankful for, Mrs. Keen"
said the head Of the house.
He helped his wife, his children and
then himself. Then he sat down and

Thanksoivinu Hints,

Let no one else suspect tina. you have
little cause for thankfulness
Remember that every one has cause
to be thankful-if not for personal, at
least for family, sectional and national
reasons.
Try to find the true spirit of thanks
giving in thinking Of other peoples
happiness and so find at least faint
reflection in your own heart.
Remember that there are more rea-
sons for the national holiday than a
football game and big dinner.
Do not let the responsibility Of en-
PERTAINING guests interfere with the
pleasure of their society.
If the unavoidable bitches in the
domestic machinery occur, console
yourself with the thought that, al
though the turkey was underdone, the
pumpkin pie was beyond reproach and
that If the cook forgot the celery she
remembered the salad dressing which
you had forgotten.
And try for one day to be charitabl
not only In deed, but in every thought
and word.

olal thanksgiving day not suggested
- some special event. Just two weeks
after this proclamation the president
issued another calling for 100000
troops to volunteer service for three
years or for the war.
What might be termed an independ-
ent day of Thanksgiving was recon-
mended by President Lincoln in the
spring Of 1864 on account of recent
victories of the Federal armies This
proclamation, issued May 8, is the
briefest and one Of the most interest
ing on record. 1t follows:
To the Friends of the Union and Liberty:
Enough is known of the army opera
Tons within the last five days to claim
our especial gratitude to God, while what
remains undone demands our most sin
cere prayers to and reliance upon him,
without whom all human efforts are in
vain. I recommend that all patriots, at
their homes, in their places Of public wor-
ship and wherever they may be, unite in
common thanksgiving and prayer to AL
mighty God.
It has been asserted enormously that

tional Thanksgiving day in 1861 and

1862. The STATE papers at washington
do not show any such proclamation.
They do show, however, that the presi-
dent proclaimed the last Thursday of
September, 1861, as day Of ''humilia-
ton, fasting and prayer" in accord
ance with a joint resolution Of con-
gress requesting him to do so. This
was in no sense a thanksgiving proc
lamation. It was specifically a day of
supplicatioD that our arms may be
blessed and made effectual for the re-
establishment of law, order and peace
throughout the wide extent Of our
country and that the inestimable boon
of civil and religious liberty, earned
under his guidance and blessings by
the labors and sufferings Of our ia
theirs, may be restored, in all its origi-
nal excellence"
Again, in 1868, the president set
apart April so as day Of national
humiliation, fasting and prayer" fol
lowing a resolution of the senate to
that effect. The first Thursday Of Au-
gust, 1864, was also designated by Lin
coin as day Of national humiliation
and prayer at the instance Of congress,
both houses concurring.
President Johnson's first Thanksgiv-
ing proclamation changed the date to
the first Thursday in December, but
the next year the successor Of Abra-
ham Lincoln returned to the great
emancipator's chosen last Thursday in
November, and the corresponding day
every year since 1866 with one excep-
ton has been proclaimed for thanks
giving. The exception was by Presi-
dent Grant, who in his first proclama-
ton for 1869 placed the date one week
earlier, Nov. 10.
President Johnson did not mention
the death Of Lincoln as national loss
