Soma Thanksaivina History.

The manner in which Thanksgiving
day was first Instituted as national
festi"ql has especial interest. During
the war for Independence eight InbNc
and general thanksgivingS were order
ed by the Continental congress. but aft
er the general thanksgiving for peace
in 1874 the proclamatiOns were olson
tinu.d until 1850. when the first ~
tional thanksgiving was Proclaimed by
President Washington. the time doSiS
Hated being the last Thursday in 30
vembeT.
The special purpose, as recommended
to congress. was to give thanks for ths
adoption Of the constitution. In l1.F
the suppression of the whisky in~Grr"c
ton was recognized by prcsidcult
/ call for national day OF Thanksgiving
/ The practice Of officially recomm u1
| ing the observance of th"nks@ivin'
festival was gradually adopted by til
states until II now has place amon
the great holidays of the nation.

STRIKERS REMAIN FIRM
IN PRUDENTIAL FIGHT.
Secret Vote Is Given to Arbitra-
tiOn Board.

The striking masons and plasterers
handed vote of confidence to their ar
bitration board that is handling the
strike controversy between the union
men and the Hedden Construction Conn
rany. general contractors for the new
Prudential building. last night, and as
. result the strike is still on.
The action was taken following a
well-attended meeting of local Unions
Nos. 3, 16 and 20. at 66 South Orange
avenue. A proposition that the men re-
turn to work pending a settlement of
the trouble between the contractors and
employees was voted down by big
majority. and the strikers are more de-
termined than ever to stick for the OBJ
servance of their union rule, which pre-
vents the subietting of contracts.
Superintendent III. S. Gardner. of the
Hedden Company. was in New York
today, and nothing could be learned
at the local office here as to what
stand the company win now take in
the adjustment of the trouble.
The Hedden Company also has a
strike of steam filters on as we'll as
that of the masons. The steam filters
demand Sc per day and a Saturday
holiday. This is the demand made BY
the New York journeymen steam
filters. and as most of the men en,-
ployed here belong to New York local
unions they walked out ,yhen their
demands We're refused.

good overbalances the bad, however,
and taken by and large, the program
Is enjoyable, If uneven. Rarely has
such saddening twenty minutes been
passed as did the audience last night
during the appearance of the Braith-
waites--Shirley and Nell-in Getting
Him Home" The sketch is billed as
different from all others" and. thank
just and kindly heaven, 1t Is. The
twain are English. and if someone will
please get them home it will help.
There was sort OF fearsonne fascina-
tiop in watching them and wondering if,
in few minutes. they would be any
worse
Nor did Carrie DeMar, the headliner,
prove the hit the management fondly
hoped. She was unfortunate in visiting
Newark so soon after the departure of
Eva Tanguay, for whom, In some mani
festations. she is faint echo. Her
best offering. Lonesome Flossie," is
well done, but the spectacle of a
drunken woman Is never uplifting
"Nobody's Satisfied was another song
that rather miscued, possibly because
Newark Is not yet educated up to the
sort of thing that is rapturously re-
ceived in the Tenderloin.
However, there are lots of good things
to be enjoyed. Lane and O'Donnell
open the show with an electrifying
tumbling act. in which ODonnell does
some marvellous somersaultlng. Barry
and Wolford have d snappy song and
dance act, and Wormwoods dog and
monkey circus. with it's .simian bicycle
riders. is always good. One of Jesse L.
Lasky's elaborate feature acts, the I'm
perial Musicians, is blare of trun-
pets and crash of drums throughout and
keeps the audience interested. The
Three Leightons. patiently first rate
minstrel mon, have a sketch that is
pillage, and are immensely amusing.
Their song bill. You Done Me
Wrong is a gem. Also, those per-
sons who leave before the Four
Lukens come ON to do their thrill
ing casting act are going to lose the
best thing on the bill. 1t is one of the
greatest acrobatic acts in vaudeville
JUST now. The moving pictures this
week, especially the first series, are also
well worth waiting for.

NAMES NEWARK
FIRM IN BIG SUIT
FOR LAND RIGHTS
Charge Of Fraud Is Made Against
Company's Officials in
$4,000 Deal.
{ fsnecial 10 the Newark Star. |

TRENTON, Jan. 4.--Eight thousand
acres of coal and timber lands in West
Virginia are the base of litigation in
the Court of Chancery of New Jersey
between Johanna c. Samuel, of wash
ington, and Smith Lent, of New YORK.
who allege that because of default OF
agreement between them and the Mag
nesia Company of America and the
Ston-age Plaster Company of Newark
the property should be decided back TO
them.
The complainants and these two COM
panies have been through series OF
agreements, by which the land in Ques-
tion was to have been acquired by the
magnesia company, of which John A.
oualey is president. He Is also presl-
dent of the plaster company. The first
agreement was made March %, 1907,
and under it the complainants were to
receive s5O,000 for their lands, which
abound in coal and timber and whlcn
are located on the Chesapeake and Ohio
railroad Shortly after the first agree
ment a second one was made, by wnlcn
Samuel and Lent were to have received,
each of them, $50,000 of the capitai
stock of the magnesia company, to-
gether with $4,000 each in cash ana
promissory notes or other obligations
for the balance. the notes payable Ill
two years from March, 1907
1t is complained that the complain
ants entered the second agreement De-
cause of misrepresentation made by
oualey. The second agreement was not
kept, and a third one was made, I'D
which Qualey, Thomas B. Cryer ana
the magnesia company were concerned.
Under this one the magnesia company
was to have been released from the for-
mer ones by payment of promissory
notes for SEC, 900 each, made by the Flor
ence Lumber Company, these notes
payable lin eighteen months. The mag
nesia company was also to issue two
stock certificates for 500 shares OF
stock each at a par value OF S5V'VVV-
This stock was to be pooled as the
complainants should agree, but they
claim a pool was never made.
In October, 1908, the magnesia COM
pany got in financial trouble, and the
sheriff OF Essex county executed Q
Judgment for $3.50, under which all as
sets of the company, except the s,oOt
acres of land, were sold. 1t Is charged
that Qualey and his wife conveyed the
| land and buildings and machinery fol
| nominal consideration to G. Conner
Fenhagen. of Newark, and that he. ir
turn, conveyed them TO the Ston-age
Plaster Company. of which Qualey il
president. The magnesia company has
received large sums OF money for It's
capital stock, but magnesia was never
made in the works of Newark. The
company owes New Jersey $500 IL
taxes, and its charter is about to be
revoked. 1t Is charged that officers
OF the Ston-age Platter Company con-
spired with the magnesia company fol
| the purpose of wrecking the latter ane
investing its property in the former
| company. The complainants ask thai
their land be decided back to them oil
that the defendants accounts tor the
full value of the West Virginia prop
erty.

RED SKINS BREAK OUT AGAIN
A Longing for Warmer Clothing and
wholesome Food Said to BE the
Cnuse--New War Paint.

The recent cold snap and the neces-
sity for heavier clothing and blood
making food is the occasion for another
breaking out of the red skins, which
promises to be the most serious in
years. although destined to be short
lived. Instead of the old style war
paint. a. harmless, non-greasy. flesh
colored product called poslam is used,
which makes short workSof every form
of breaking out. particularly eczema,
stopping the terrible itching with first
application and curing chronic cases In
two weeks. So with hives. tetter. rash,
acne, psoriasis. piles, red noses, pimples
and every form of itching skin diseas ;,
including BARRIERS itch.
No one is asked to take our word. as
the sample package-which the Emer-
gency Laboratories, No. 32 West Twen-
ty-fifth street, New York. is sending
out by mail free of charge to every one
who writes for it-tells the whole story
and is sufficient to clear the complexion
overnight, or to rid the face of pimples
in q hours. Riker's. Pet.y's and c. B.
Smiths make speciality of posiam and
always keep on sale both the 50-cent

LID LIFTERS' WELL LIKED
BY PATRONS OF WALDMANN'S

The Lid Lifters.' playing at Wald-
mann's Opera House this week, present
a burlosque OF the old school. The play
let. "a Nights Frolic." has coherent
plot and shows what web an erring
husband and q frivolous wife can weave
about themselves John w. Jess, in the
leading role, assisted by Miss Glare
Burg, are the unfortunate pair and de-
light the audience with their clever act
ing. AS an exponent of the art of
stammering. Harry Yost. as the Rev.
Mr.. Doolittle. is wonder. and could
alone cause merriment enough for an
evening. Elizabeth Mayne. no stranger
behind the burlesque footlights, is still
the same mirth-producer
The olio, though consisting Of but
three acts, contains three headliners of
vaudeville. In Charles Farrell. the old
Southern darl1y and whistler. the pa
irons hear an old favorite in Newark.
The Alvin Brothers, European comedy
colnedians. present several new and
difficult feats, and Al Garfield, assisted
by Harry Hooper. Is clever in his skit,

THE LADY BUCCANEERS MAKE
HIT AT MINERS EMPIRE SHOW.

THE Lady Buccaneers" who cap
tured Miners Empire Theatre yester-
day, are by no means as unpleasingIy
ferocious as their name would imply
In fact they present one of the most
diverting burlesques seen in Newark
in many a day. From Joseph K. Wat
son, who runs a close second to Joe
Welsh in Hebrew Characterization,
down to the smallest spear carrier in
the last row Of the chorus the cast
more than comes up to specifications.
Miss May Mack. as captain of the
Buccaneers. is a hardworking, yvivacious
little damsel: Watson, as Daredevil
Yonkel, the stowaway, is scream.
The play is in two scenes. the first on
board the pirate brig Chafing Dish, and
the second on Treasure Island.
The clio is exceptionaly good. Wat
sons monologue Is the headliner. John
c. Hanson in the sketch Much Fuss
About Nothing" is far above the aver
age burlesque German comedian. The
two Macks, billed as ''The Whirlwind
Kids" and Alvin and Kinney. on the
flying rings, contribute a great deal to
the enjoyment.

CLEVER YOUNG PERFORMERS ARE
HIT AT AMERICAN MUSIC HALL

There is no mistaking the real head
liners VINO are appearing this week at
the American Music Hall. The excel
lence of their performance speaks for
itself in the applause torn from the
spectators. The success achieved is the
greater because the favorite acts stand
out prominently among other turns on
an unusually strong bill. Felix and
Caire, advertised as "Ad Newberger' S
Youthful Prodigies" and Edward Blon-
dell and his company, in THE Lost
Boy" share premier honors about
equally.
AS the Runaway Kids" who seek a
theatrical manager to whom to show
just what stunts they can perform,
Felix and Caire have a fine chance to
indulge in the singing and dancing acts
that have won them favor. Their per-
formance yesterday was exceptionally
clever and entertaining. Impersona-
tions, also in their line, helped them to
win the house. There were many cur
tain calls for the entertaining young
sters. Although of an entirely different
nature, the sketch presented by Blon-
dell and his company made an equal
hit BlondelPs abilities as a funmaker
are we'll known in Newark. and he lived
up to his reputation in depicting the
lost country boy, Awho is brought into
her home by a rich woman and enter
ftained royalty.
La Danseuse, in series of dances OF
great variety, excellently presented
carried off the honors of her line of en-.
tertainment and won deserved applause
