THANKSGIVING PROCLAMATION


President Roosevelt hss issued proc.
lamstion setting spar. Thursday, No
vember 20, as a day of Thanksgiving AMI
prayer.
The President says occe again the
season of the year has came when, in
accordance with the custom of our lore
fathers for generations past, the Presi-
dent appoints day as the especial occa.
sion for all our people to give praise and
thanksgiving to God.
During the past year we have been
free from famine, from pestilence, from
war. We are at peace with all the rest
of mankind. Our natural resources are
at lesst as great as those of any other
nation.
We believe that in ability to develop
and take advantage of these resources
the average man OF this nation stands Of
least as high as The average man of any
other. Nowhere else in the world is
there such an opportunity for a free
people to develop to the fullest extent all
Its powers of body, of mind, and Of that
which stands above both body and mind,
character. Much has been given US from
on high and much will rightly be ex-
pected OF US in return. Iuto our care
the ten talents have been intrusted; and
we are to be psrdoned neither II We
squsnder and waste them, nor yet ii we
hide them in napkin; for they must be
fruitful in our hands.
Even throughout the ages, at all times
and among all peoples, prosperity has
been frsught with danger, and 1t be-
hooves us to btseech the Giver OF ali
things that we may not fall into love OF
ease and OF luxury; that we may not
lose our sense of moral responsibility;
that we may not forget our duty to God
and to our neighbor.
A great democracy like ours, n democ-
racy based upon the principles OF orderly
liberty, can be perpetuated only ifin the
heart of the ordinary citizen there dwell'
keen sense of righteousness and justicel
We should earnestly pray that this
spirit of righteousness and justice may
grow ever greater in the hearts of all OF
US, and that our souls may be inclined
ever more both toward the virtues thai
tell for gentleness and tenderness, for
loving Kindness and forbearance ose
with another, and toward those no les
necessary virtues that make for msnlines'
and rugged hardihood for without these
qualities neither nation nor individual
can rise to the level OF greatness.
Now, therefore, I, Theodore Roose.
welt, President of the United States, dc
set apart Thursday, the % h day of
November, as the day of general thanks
giving and prayer, and on that day |
recommend that the people shall cease
from their daily work, and, 10 their homes
or In their churches, meet devoutly t
thank the Almighty for the many ant
great blessings they have received 10 thu
past, and pray that they msy be giver
strength so as to order their lives IS t
deserve a continuation of these blessing
in the future.

OPENING OF NEW DEPOT.

corded in the annals OF the railroads of
this country when, early yesterday
morning, the whistle of lsrge Balti-
more ard Ohio locomotive drawing q
train Of passenger cars proclaimed the

drawn by two Of the now Anticipated
locomotives of the famous "Grass-
hopper" type of the early days Of the
railway, steamed into the modest little
Baltimore and Ohio station, there to DO
greeted by the dsafening cheers OF mem
bers of the country's diplomatic corps,
including President Jackson, that MEM
orsble 25th day of August, 1885. Num-
bers of AlexsndriAns we're among the
spectators. The new depot has coat in
the neighborhood of $4,000, 900, of
which Congress appropriated So, 600, 600.
The work has been done by the Wash
iugton Terminal Company, owned jointly
by the Baltimore aud Ohio and Penn
sylvania Railroads.
