VERY FEW TURKEYS
Thanksgiving Birds Almost as
Scarce as Sunstroke
Cases, Now.
A LUXURIOUS OUTLOOK

Can you imagine a Thanksgiving
dinner without turkey? 1t is almost
as easy to picture fire without smoke
or cyclone without the accompanying
wind. What Thanksgiving dinner is
complete without the long-legged COB
bier to occupy the place Of honor on q
table literally loaded down with eata-
bles on tina day? Nevertheless, it is
always we'll to be prepared to meet the

that's an unpleasant subject.
BY the time the 25th of November
rolls around there is a bare possibility
that turkeys will not be as scarce as
is now predicted. and, even though the
hope is a small one, 1t is being held
onto like grim death by many persons
in this city. In many homes chicken
will no doubt be the center of attrac.
tion on the holiday feast table, and
there is some consolation though
small. however, in the fact that they
will be plentiful. Ducks may also take

WHY SALVES FAIL
TO CURE ECZEMA.
They Clog the Pores-onIy a Liquid
Can Reach the Inner Skin.

Since the old-fashioned theory of
curing eczema through the blood has
been given up by scientists, many
different salves have been tried for
skin diseases. But it has been found
that these salves only clog the pores
and can not penetrate to the inner
skin below the epidermis where the
eczema germs are lodged.
Thistle quality of penetrating

THE NEW MURRAY

The New Murray Theater is to be
private enterprise, but also as a sign
OF the increased progressiveness of
Richmond. The new theater is worthy
of the new town. The high class OF
the performances are in keeping with
the town and the theater itself.
Mr.. Murray is to be congratulated
for his public spirit expressed in his
private enterprise in furnishing Rich

up-to-date attractions. That has very
much to do in the good looks and the

Keeping Children Out Of Prison.

From the New York World-I the
training school for boys, for which a
site has at last been secured in York
town, Westchester county, the state
of New York is to take long step
under the cottage-home system for the
reclamation of wayward youths.
The system is not new. A reforma-
tory on the cottage plan was estab-
lished by the Philanthropic Society Of
Hamburg. Germany, in 1888, and a
third came into existence at Mettray,
France, in 1889. The idea took root
slowly, but within recent period it
has spread rapidly. Great Britain and
the United States have now in oper-
alton numerous cottage settlements
for boys and several for girls. A few
years ago the New York Juvenile asy-
lum of this city was transformed into
a boy colony at Echo Hills. in West
chester county.
To get away from the institutional
environment is the aim in all these
cottage establishments. Broken into
small groups, the boys lose the prison.

les. They are no longer mere inmates.

teachers-not keepers-find opportun-

Monuments to "First" Women.

let's and monuments to the first" in
crease and multiply. This week New
York has placed many historic tablets
in position, not all Of. them referring
to Hudson or Fulton. On the site of
Fort Tryon is new battle tablet on
which it is said that Margaret Corbin
was the first American woman to take
a soldiers part in the war for liberty
having fought the Hessian troops at
that point on the 10th Of November,
1776. This is interesting, If true, and
it may be true. Bradford, Va. this
week has dedicated monument Of
considerable sculr raj pretension to
Mary Draper Ingles, said to have been
the first English bride married west
of the Alleghanies. Without question
ing the good faith Of the promoters Of
these two memorials, it may be asked
If all those who erect testimonials to
the first are sure of their facts. The
first is almost as dangerous a word
as the last" for the continual delv-
ing in old documents now in progress

ity from those who have heretofore
borne it exempt from criticism.

Missive Among Effects of Wife

ing descriptions. which may head to tie
relocation of rich placer mine which
was famous in the earliest days of
the California gold excitement has
been found among the effects OF John
Henry Marrow, who shot and killed
his wife and fatally wounded himself.
The letter bears the signature of
Hon. Judge Hay" an aged man who
said that he profited by the claim at
Its discovery, but had been unable to
revisit 1T recently owing to numerous
changes in the locality and the efface-
ment of landmarks. The letter was
written in the hope that Marrow might
be able to redfscover the ledge.
The gold was said to have beea To-
Gated on a creek near Folsom, below
an island which has since been washed
away. Hay, the writer of the letter,
said that he found the probable loca-
tion himself by tracing color up to a
certain sandbar, which may have been
the site Of the island.
A few notes in a different hand
writing stated that Hay and a certain
German took out $4,000 in gold in
184S and that an Italian and French
man starting for San Francisco with
$4,000 worth OF metal had been muir
dered and robbed
1t is not known whether the letter
is authentic or If such a man as Hon.
Judge Hay had any existence Rela-
tives of Marrow are unable to agree
