THANKSGIVING SERVICE
AT SAINT andrews.
Church Richly Decorated and Elcyat-
Ing Sermon is Delivered W
Rector.

Thanksgiving services were he'd
yesterday morning at Saint Andrew
Episcopal church. A special and eX-
ceptionally beautiful feature OF the
service was the song service. The
church was laylshly decorated with
fruits and grain, symbolizing the
spirit of the service,
Rev. Worsham spoke from the
text, For every creature OF God is
good, and nothing TO be refused II
it be received with thanksgiving, -
1t was shown how much cause the
community, the state, the nation,
had for spirit Of thankfulness,
1.-TWO great strains have united to
make Of the people OF the United
States the greatest nation of tho
world. When 30l years ago, the
Cavaliers landed on the sunny shores
of Virginia, the atmosphere OF our
South was formed. From these
aristocrats we derive our chivalry,
our hospitality and love for the beau
tifnlg with the coming of the Purl-
tans to the bleak New England
shores, came the strain that was to
unite its sturdincss, It's stability OF
character, its Puritanism with the
chivalric South and, from tbs union
has sprung a people great and pros
porous"
Referring to the abundance OF all
things good that have been given to
the American people, the speaker
pointed out the opportunity for do
ing good that such prosperity sup
plies and urged his hearers to show
their appreciation not only by q
proper spirit Of thanksgiving but N
make individual use OF the taleuO
so abundantly given them.

More than S25,0OO,OOO has been
paid out By the employees relief
funds Of the Pennsylvania railroad
system, both east and west OF Pitts
burg, since the organization of these
departments. Since July, 1883, on
the lines west of Pittsburg and Feb
ruary, 1886, on the lines east, The
sum Of $15,O5O,64f has been paid
to members, who, because OF illness
or accident, have been incapaci;ated
for work, The remainder, S1O,276,-
227, has been paid to the families OF
members who have died.
Reports of the operation of the
fund for the lines west show that
during the month Of october the
payments amounted to S40,31O. or
this $26,227 represented the pay
ments TO members disabled by illness
or accident, and S14OS3, the
amount paid in death benefits. The
total payments for the lines west
since the organization of the fund
amounts to S6,S41,11S.
The report of the Interstate Com
merce commission concerning rail
way accidents in the United States
shows that during the yeap ending
June 80, 1908, there were 1884
people killed and 69,9S9 injured,
says william f. Curtis in the Chlca-
go Record-Herald
OF these 400 killed and 1885 in.
iured were passengers; employees, a.
35S killed and 56,344 injured. There
was a gratifying decrease from the
previous year, when 647 passengers
and 4,353 employees were killed and
1859 passengers and 62,6S9 en-
ployes were injured, making a total
OF 5000 killed and 76,2SO injured.
These figures are appalling, es-
pecially when they are compared
with similar reports from foreign
countries. The total number OF pas
sengers killed in England last year
was only 100, and 2,666 we're iniur-
ed, while the number of railway emf
ployes killed was asa and the num-
Der OF injured 5,577. The annual
average for the last ten years in Eng
land has been 1,160 killed and 6,765
injured. This was an average of one
passenger killed out of 100000 900
travelling, and one for every 4 .30O,-
900 was injured. The annual aver
age OF accidents in the United King
dom for the last thirty years has
been ono passenger killed for every
100000 travelling, and one injur-
ed for 100000 travelling so thai
the risk is very much less than form
erly and Is diminishing every year.
In 1906. there was very bad rec
