Plea for d Humane Thanksgiving.

The time is again at hand when the old
custom, established by the Pilgrims, is to
be observed. The harvest is gathered in
and praise is to be offered for the boun-
ties bestowed on man. Shall never a
Thanksgiving morning dawn when man
will rejoice in a bloodless feast. and not
mingle his praise with the shrieks of dy
ing victims? If man could realize what
needless suffering takes place before the
Thanksgiving dinner can be prepared
would he not then turn away in disgust
from the carnal feast? Nature teens in
bloodIess products that can furnish ample
sustenance for man. At any rate, that
Thanksgiving shall go hand in hand with
wholesale carnage and indescribable suf-
fering is not compatible with that the
feast is sacred. Let us do what We
can to herald that day when We can
sing with the poet:
Never again shall blood OF bird or beast
Stain with its venomous sting human feast
In loud accusation against the blue sky steamins.

AUTO ACCIDENT VICTIM
KNOWN TO AUTHORITIES
Her Identity Disclosed by Mysteri-
Gus Stranger, and Burial of
Body Follows.

PATERSON. N. J., November 2S.-A
permit was issued today for the burial
here of the mysterious woman killed in
an automobile accident near Lincoln
Park, N. j., a week ago Sunday, and who
until yesterday was known only as Mrs.
William c. Whitney" AS this identifica-
ton seemed incorrect the county au-
thorities held up the funeral until a
well-to-do New Yorker. formerly of the
west, came forward last evening with the
information that the victim was a widow
from Alameda, Cal, who for some time
had been making her home In New York.
Hoped to Escape Notoriety.
He was with her at the time OF the acct
dent, he said. and escaped uninjured, but he
intended to keep his name out of the af-
fair until he learned that the funeral
could not proceed without further identi-
fication. Exacting a promise that his
name would not be revealed, this man
said the woman was Mrs. Lydia Mar
chela Cor MichelD Whiting of Alameda.
Almost simultaneously there came news
from the California town that the woman,
was Mrs. Lydia Gertrude Micheli Of that
city, and although there are discrepancies
in the two names, the authorities were
sufficiently satisfied regarding her iden-
| tity to permit the burial.
