THANKSGIVING
President Taft Issues Pro.
clamatiOn

President Taft today issued his
annual Thanksgiving proclamation,
calling upon citizens of the United
States to celebrate Thursday, the
30th of November, next, as day
of Thanksgiving and prayer. The
proclamation reads as follows:
The people of this land having
by long sanction and practice set
apart toward the close of each
passing year a day on which to
cease from their labors and as
ssmble for the purpose of giving
praise to Him who is the author of
the blessings they have enjoyed, it
is my duty as chief executive to
designate at this time the day for
the fulfllment of this devout pur-
pose.
Our country has been signally
favored in many ways.
The round of the seasons has
brought rich harvests. Our in
dustries have thriven far beyond
our domestic needs, the productions
of our labor are daily finding en-
larged markets aboard. We have
been free from the curses of
pestilence, of famine and of war.
Our national counsels have further
ed the cause of peace in other lands
and the spirit of benevolence has
brought us into closer touch with
other peoples, to the strengthening
of the bonds of fellowship and good
will that link us to our comrades in
the universal brotherhood of
nations. Strong in the sense of
our own right and inspired by as
strong a sense of the rights of
others, we live in peace and har-
mony with the world. Rich in the
priceless possession and abundant
resources, wherewith the unstained
bounty of God has endowed us, we
are unselfshly glad when other
peoples pass onward to prosperity
and peace. That the great priv
ileges we injoy may continue, and
that each coming year may see our
country more firmly established in
the regard and esteem of our fellow
nations, is the prayer that should
arise in every thankful heart.
Wherefore, I, William Howard
Taft, president of the United States
of America, designate Thursday,
the 30th of November, next, as a
day of Thanksgiving and prayer,
and 1 earnestly call upon my
countrymen and upon all that dwell
under the flag of our beloved
country, then to meet in their
accustomed places of worship to
join in offering praise to Almighty
God and devout thanks for the

ART EXHIBIT
Fine Collection of Pictures
at High School

Monday afternoon and evening
and Tuesday forenoon the Beard
Art exhibit was held at the High
School Auditorium and was visited
by large number of our people in
addition to all the pupils of the
schools.
The exhibit was in charge of
Harrington Beard of Minneapolis
who lectured informally during the
day OH the works of art and Mon
day evening gave lecture illustrat-
ed with stereoptican views and
showed nearly a hundrsd of the
worlds famous pictures. His
lecture was adapted to a public
audience and charmed and pleased
the large audience that heard him.
The walls of the entire au-
ditorium were hung with beautiful
pictures many of which were ex-
cellent copies of the great master
pieces in art, and all of which were
worth seeing.
Mr.. Harrington Beard has been
established in Minneapolis for rs
years. He is one of the directors
of the Minneapolis society of Fine
Arts; is one of those charged with
directing the new Art Museum
having an immediate expenditure
of one-half million dollars, and a
member of the Minneapolis Board
of Education. He is intensely in
terested in the educational side of
art work. He has visited all the
important foreign art galleries as
we'll as being a close student of
American art.
Great credit is due the school
authorities who made it possible for
this exhibit to appear here. The
receipts from the sale of tickets
were $77.55. The expenses were
$40, leaving $67.55 to be expended
for pictures. The school board in
addition appropriated $50 making
the total amount $117.55. The
pictures purchased will be scattered
throughout the various school
buildings, but the Lincoln building
will receive the larger part as there
are few pictures there. The public
was real generous in the purchase
of tickets for which the management
is truly thankful.

ular quarterly meeting of the direc-
tors after the close of the market
Tuesday. The usual quarterly
dividend of IN per cent on the
preferred stock was also declared.
Nothing additional on the
government dissolution suit was
made public, nor would the
directors consent to be interviewed
The financial statement, which
was for the third quarter of the
year ending Sept. 80, showed
earnings of 500, 522.525, with net
earnings of $22,716,157. These
compare with $2S, 1O8,52O and
$21 1889, $40. respectively, for the
quarter Immediately preceding.
For the corresponding quarter of
1910, earnings and net earnings
were $37, 1865, 1877 and $31, O48, 755,
respectively. The statement decid-
eddy was better. than had been ex-
pected. The surplus net income
tor the third quarter is Z,74o, aga
as against 81, 1863, lit in the pre-
ceding quarter, but is much below
that of the same quarter last year,
" hen this item totaled $11 ,078, 085.
On the other hand, no appropria-
tons from surplus were made the
last quarter, while in the third
quarter last year the sum of ST.
500, 900 was set aside for ex-
penditures, which included au-
thorized payments for additional
property, new plants and con-
struction. 1t is possible that such
appropriations may be made at the
end of the fourth quarter, as was
done last wear.

RED CROSS SEALS
Soon to be on Sale in Ely

Not only will the sale of Red
Cross Christmas Seals be continued
this year, but it will be carried on
along broader lines, and will be
larger and more comprehensive
than ever BEFORE" says DR.. Living
ston Farrand, Executive Secretary
of The National Association for
the Study and Prevention of Tuber-
culosis, in statement issued today
by the Press Bureau of that or
ganization.
DR.. Farrand denies absolutely
the statements which have appear
ed recently to the effect that Post
master General Hitchcock had
forbidden the sale of Red Cross
Seals. No official order has been
issued on this matter" says DIR.
Farrand. On July 1st the Post
Office Department decided that
they could no longer carry. mail
matter which bore stamps or seals
which resembled postage stamps.
Our design of the Red Cross Seal,
however, has been approved
definitely by Postmaster General
Hitchcock and the Department,
and it does not come within the
prohibitions of this order of July
1st. 1t hardly looks as if we were
going to abandon the sale, when
we have already placed the orde,
for the printing of fifty million
seals and for large quantities oil

one bear in mind that the Post

AFTER THEM
Peddlers Get Into Trouble
Yesterday

A start was made yesterday to-
wards abating the peddler nuisance
that if kept up cannot but prove
beneficial to the community and
especially to those engaged in
business here.
A. K. Skinner and c. L. Wood
ward, two transient traders from
Duluth were gathered in by Chief
Somrock for peddling blankets in
the city without having gone to
the expense and trouble of secur-
ing license. They were given a
hearing before Judge Jury yester-
afternoon. Skinner plead guilty
and was fined SIS and costs or
fifteen days in the city Jail. He
paid the fine. Woodward received
the same fine but he put up bonds
and appealed the case. AS the
men were working for the Gately
Supply company it is presumed the
company will fight the case in
order to test the ordinance.
1t is to be hoped that the crusade
against the peddler will be con-
tinued and the nuisance put stop
to ultimately. 1t is a notorious
fact that anything can be bought
from peddlers here and this class of
traders are constantly carrying off
the money necessarily needed by
the local merchants to keep up a
town. While it is remarked this is
a free country and people have a
right to spend their money
wherever they please, the transient
trader should pay license and
thus help a little towards keeping
up our streets. schools, etc.
A successful crusade against
transient traders, blind pigs, ETC.. I,
is being maintained in several of
the towns of the state and why not
in Ely?

SUYDAM GETS DIVORCE;
CASE is NOT CONTESTED
InterlocutOry Decree Quickly Handed Down After
Four Witnesses Are Heard.

Then Cecilia McMorra, servant in the
Blue Point house, was called.
About $50 o'clock on the morning of
August %, she swore, Mrs. Suydam and
Frederick Noble were in Mr.. Suydams S
house. He was away.
Mary ORourke, another servant, testi-
fed:
I heard them come into the house
after o'clock. 1 recognized them by
their voices. They went into Mrs. Suy-
dams room.
Il heard four shoes drop upon the
floor
The last witness was John Ketcham, of
Patchogue. He visited Mrs. Suydam in
New York with Joseph Lose, Mr.. Suy-
dams counsel. When he arrived. he
said, the young woman was alone. After
a few minutes she jumped up, exclaimed
Here comes Billy" and ran out into
the hall. Ketcham heard a loud smack.
which he was sure was a kiss, and
then Mrs. Suydam re-entered with
young Noble.
Both then admitted, Ketcham swore.
that they were guilty of the charges
named in the affidavit. and that also
they had had many long sailing trips on
Great South Bay. which might well have
been made grounds for a divorce.
The case was entirely undefended, so

decree.

that divorce papers were served upon
