THANKSGIVING.

THANKSGIVING.
Great God we sing Thy love Away,
For Thou art wondrous kindly
But on this glad Thanksgiving Day
New songs Of praise our lips shall find.
From out Thy wealthy arder fed,
We praise Thee for our daily store; ~
Thou hast our table richly spread, VIZ
And we have had enough and more
When clouds our pathway have beset,
And life has seemed wilderness,
Thou didst not us at all forget;
Thou then vast near TO help and bless
The year hath told the story old,
The story of Thy love and grace;
Through summers heat and winters cold,
The same sweet characters we trace.
Great God, we sing Thy love Away,
Thy goodness bear in mind;
And still will praise and still will pray,
For Thou art wondrous kind - =, i,

TERRIBLE BULL
FIGHT TONIGHT

People remember a few years
ago when the authorities refused to
permit bull fight in this city. But
there's going to be bull fight at
the carnival tonight, authorities or
no authorities. If any officer at
tempts to "but in" the ferocious
bulls, imported particularly on ac-
count of their savage battle rec
ords, will be turned loose to tram
pie interference.
That strange race of people
known as the Enakops are the ones
who are going to defy the authori-
ties and all city ordinances and
state laws. The bull fight is to be
as ferocious, cruel an affair as can
be imagined-in connection with
the Enakops. The brave batadors
who are to go within the ring with
them are all insured in old line
companies in favor of their political
friends. They go into the pen
ready to die for the Enakops.
The ring selected for the bloody
ARRAY is where the circle swings
are located. The swings are to be
put out of commission while the
blood-letting is going on.
Every hospital in town will have
its ambulance at the rlngside ready
to carry off the injured bulls and
give them the best medical atten-
tention.
The grewsome morgue wagons
from the various undertaking insti-
tutions will be hitched just outside
the park ready to carry away the
dead

clown work this season and to that

way of joyous merriment. The
clown act is carefully planned in
detail as the vaudeville turn; each
turn has it's cast of from two to
three dozen people. The way it
goes" is watched with as much
anxiety as if a dramatist's fame de-
pended on it, and it is trimmed
into shape by the approval or dis
approval Of the public.

TO SQUARE TAFT
WITH NEGROES

WASHINGTON, Aug. 7.-Lieut.
Gen. Henry Corbin, retired, makes
public today an unpublished dis
patch from Roosevelt ordering the
dismissal of colored troops at
colored troops at Brownsville,
showing the order was direct from
the president. This leaves no
doubt that the president takes the
whole responsibility, evidently for
the purpose of saving Taft, then
war secretary, from criticism and
antagonism of the negro voters this

An average of more than 30 trials
of juvenile offenders is taking place
daily in the childrens court. The
Children's Aid society is taking
care of 500 little guests in it's large
building on Schermerhorn St, and
the cases that are being turned
oyer to it by the court range from
those occasioned by mere parental
neglect to the grave offenses of
larceny, assault, burglary and even
highway robbery.
Supt. H. Clay Preston of the aid
society freely admits that, contrary
to the conviction he has held for
many years, he has now come to
the conclusion that vacation is
rather curse than a blessing to
many children.
"As soon as vacation started this
year." he said, business began to
get brisk with us. ! must admit
that for a great majority of the
school children it would be better
if there were no vacation, or at
least it should be much shorter.
The law takes the tenement and
slum children out of the clean,
healthy surroundings, and from un
der the strict, wholesome disci-
pline of the school teacher, and
places them In cellars. in unsan-
itary dwellings and on the streets,
and every evil influence has free
access to the childish mind"
Judge Wilkie agrees with Supt.
Preston. He is an earnest advocate
of the establishment of every kind
of vacation school, farm or play
ground that has been accepted as
suitable by modern pedagogy.

Special Correspondence to The Press
LONDON, Aug. IA real simon
pure, cOrn-fed American lord may
be recognized by the house of
lords.
He was born on American soil
of real American pioneer stock,
was educated in American institu-
tons and trained in American bust
ness ways. He holds them so
dearly that even if his title is
awarded him he will not renounce
his allegiance to the republic to
accept seat in the house of lords.
This unusual claimant, Arthur
Kirby Fairfax, has been in London
the last five years, employed in the
banking house of Brown Bros. &
Co. of New York. His claim really
has never been disputed. He was
specially invited to King Edwards
coronation and has been accepted
by the peerage in a social way ever
since his arrival.
He was born near Northampton,
Md, 81 years ago, played with the
pickaninnies on a 700-acre estate,
and was the pet Of a black nanny
whose hoecake was famous. He
was educated in the east, and
chose banking for a business ca
reer. He has been remarkably sue
ceSSful.
Fairfax is descended from Lord
Thomas Fairfax, sixth baron of the
line, who settled in Virginia some
time late in 1889 This Fairfax Sc
cured about 5000, 900 acres of land
hammock rivers, on which he built
two mansions, Bevoir and Green
way court, and lived in lordly
state. Since then both the family
and it's fortunes have dwindled.
Young Fairfax is the sole remain
ing male member, but he has sew
eral sisters.
Five years ago the lord chancel-
lor ruled that Fairfax was entitled
to a seat in the house of lords If
he would present his proofs of line
age to the house of lords and OBJ
tain their recognition. Incidental
ly he would have to renounce his
American citizenship and become
subject to the king. Now the
house of lords has accorded Fair
fax the privilege of submitting
these proofs for consideration at
the hands of the committee on
privileges.
Should the body recognize Fair
fax as a lord he will be content
with the title.
