PRESIDENT BUCHANAN'S
 DAY OF FASTING.

The first general proclamation ap pointing fast day was issued by Pres. ident James Buchanan Dec. l4, 1SGO and reads as follows:
 Numerous appeals have been made to me by pious and patriotic associa- tions and citizens. in view of the pres ent distracted and dangerous condition of our country, to recommend that a day be set apart for humiliation. fast ing and prayer throughout the Union. Tn compliance with their request and my own sense of duty designate Fri day, the 4th day of January. 1861. for this purpose and recommend that the people assemble on that day, according to their general forms of worship, 10 keep it as a solemn fast.
 The union of the states is at the present moment threatened with alarm ing and immediate danger. Panic and distress of fearful character prevail throughout the land. Our laborinS population are without employment and consequently deprived of the means of earning their bread Indeed. hope seems to have deserted the minds of men. All classes are in a state of confusion and dismay, and the wisest counsels of our best and purest men are wholly disregarded.
 Tn this the hour of our calamity and peril to whom shall we resort for relief but to the God of our fathers? His omnipotent arm only can save US from the awful effects of QUE own crimes and follies, our own ingratitude and guilt toward our Heavenly Father.
 Let us, then. with deep contrition and penitent sorrow unite in humbling ourselves before the Most High in con- fessing our individual and national sins and in acknowledging the justice of our punishment. Let us implOre him to remove from our hearts that false pride of opinion which would im- pei us to persevere in wrong for the sake of consistency rather than yield a just submission to the unforeseen exigencies by which we are now sur. rounded. Let us with deep reverence beseech him to restore the friendship and good will which prevailed in for mer days among the people of the several states and, above ali. to save us from the horrors of civil war and blood guiltiness. Let our fervent pray CTS ascend to his throne that he will not desert us fin this hour of extreme peril. but remember us as he did our fathers in the darkest days of the Rev olution and preserve our constitution and our Union, the work of their hands. for ages yet to come. An om- nipotent Providence may overruIe ex- isting evils for permanent good. He can make the wrath of man to praise him. and the remainder of wrath he can restrain. Let me invoke every in- dIvidual in whatever sphere of life he may be placed. to feel a personal re- sponsibility to God and his country for keeping this day holy and for con- tributing all in his power to remove our actual and impending difficulties.

The presi- dent addressed his words TO the Peo- pie of the United States of America" He referred to the fact that ito the yet fresh remembrance of the unprece- dented success which attended the op- erations of the United States fleet in the bay of Manila on the 1St day of May last are added the Gdings of the no less glorious achievements of the naval and military arms of our be- loved country at Santiago de Cuba" and asked the people upon next assem- bling for divine worship ito offer thanksgiving to Almighty God. who has watched over our cause and brought nearer tine success of the right and the attainment of just and honorable peace"

The two precedents which the colo nial governors had to guide them in ordering a day for thanksgiving were the national Thanksgiving held by or der of good Queen Bess after the de- feat of the Spanish armada and that of King James of England because the guupowder plot failed to materialize.

Such is the case however, and the maj.

of one of the most famous plays on the

TT was this way" finally said Larry.
Il was playing with the Portland. Ore
gon. team, a member OF the Pacific
Coast Leagde circuit. On June 10. 1904,
we were playing the Seattle team on
our home grounds. In the fifth inning
Seattle got a man on first and n on
second, with no out. The two base
runners attempted a double steal. I
happened to catch the signal" con-
