RABBIT SEASON OPEN

The opening of the rabbit killing sea
son in this State Tuesday brought out
scores OF gunners securing field and
woodland from one end of the State to
the other There is not county in
which rabbit hunters do not reside The
wisdom of opening the season on No
vember 10 is well shown this fall Rab-
bits are neither fat nor good to eat III
warm weather, but a few frosty nights
make good change in them.
While land owners sometimes prefer
to protect quail and some other varieties
of game, very few care to see rabbits
become too plentiful because of the dam
age they can do to certain kinds Of
crops. A farmer may wish to save his
rabbits for his son or his friends to kill,
but he wants them reduced in numbers
by some one and for that reason the
hunting public has less to contend with
in the way of protection and orders to
get off, during the rabbit season than
any other hunting season. No license is
required for resident of New Jersey
to hunt this State, but non-residents
must procure a license (costing $l0.50)
before attempting to hunt. Aliens may
not carry gun.

PARsoN WROTE PROCLAMATION

In days of old only New England
governors issued Thanksgiving procld
nations. Here is a little story as to
how Missouri joined in. An old time
Methodist parson writes it:
In the summer OF 1889 | was the
guest of an old friend, good Meth
odist down in Benton county, and dur
ing the afternoon he asked me how 1t
happened that the governor of Missouri
never issued a Thanksgiving proclama-
tion.
Il told him that | had never consid-
cred the matter, but would suggest 1t
to Governor Stewart as soon as L re-
turned to Jefferson City.
MY friend said that if the proclama
tion was issued | must be his guest on
Thanksgiving day and that yellow
gobbler should at once be put in fat
tening against the feast.
In the course of time | got back to
the capital and called upon the gov
ernor to suggest the advisability OF IL
suing the proclamation.
We'll, parson,' said the governor,
that's in the religious line. Suppose
YOU write it,
Il at once proceeded to write it out. F"

SOME THANKSGIVING HISTORY

The manner in which Thanksgiving.
day was first instituted as nationa
festival has especial interest. Durln-
the war for Independence eight public
and general Thanksgiving were ordered
by the Continental Congress, but aftei
the general thanksgiving for peace ii.
1884 the proclamations were discontinued
until 1889, when the first national
thanksgiving was proclaimed by Presi-
dent Washington, the time designated
being the last Thursday i'll November
The special purpose, as recommended
to congress, was to give thanks for the
adoption of the constitution. In lf95
the suppression of the whisky insurrec-
tion was recognized by presidential call
for a national day of thanksgiving. The
practice of officially recommending the
observance of thanksgiving festival was
gradually adopted by the states until it
now has place among the great holidays
of the nation

The CHINATOWN TRUNK MYSTERY

Opening Monday, November q and
continuing Tuesday with matinees daily
| for its first presentation i'll Atlantic City
at NiXon's Apollo, comes The China
town Trunk Mystery"
Some one has said the only good In
dian is a dead one" The same might be
applied to the Chinaman as America gets
him.
The power of the Tongs is remarkable
to 4 DECREE, and in New York, San Fran
cisco and other large cities where a
Chinatown of any size exists, once an
enemy to them il made, he or her name
becomes marked with a cross of death.
The homicide Of Elsie Sigel, was only
one of the many hideous crimes commit
ted and never solved. The danger to
white women mineIing with the Chinese
in their endeavor to convert them to oui
belief is seldom realized outside the po-
lice departments who must deal with 4
Chinatown. Tho women themselves
seem blind to their danger and disre-
gard the advice and pIeadings Of friends
and relatives continuing on to almost
certain disaster.
The many merry parties who derive SO
much pleasure from their Summing trips
into Chinatown, little realize of the
haunts they nearly see close by where
their human sisters are sinking to obli-
WON and death and they themselves are
being devoured by the hungry eyes OF
Americas lowest class of criminal.
Yet these are facts and it is the desire
of The Chinatown Trunk Mystery to
convince our public intelligently OF the
pitfalls which confront our women who
consider it their duty to enter China
town and teach people who are loath
to give up their traditions.
The play deals with the tragedy that
repulsed the entire country, and does not
handle it with kid gloves, but depends
upon the facts as the police found them
1t is wonderfully instructive play to
those who know not the situation.
A pretty little love story and heart
interest has been interviewer around a
Young friend of Elsie Sigel, Marion
GREY and a New York detective. Come
dy is not lacking in the four acts ana
scenically the play is said to be re-
velation of the scene painters art
