Mapped Ambitious Program.

LAWRENCE, Mass. November 3d.
Charles w. Glidden Of this city, who calls
himself the champion eater Of New Eng
land, believes that his Thanksgiving
menu today will stand as the biggest
individual effort of the kind in the
United States. It is as follows:
Fifteen pounds Of turkey or chicken.
two loaves Of bread, three quarts Of tea,
six bananas and cream. twelve dough-
nuts, one bunch celery. ten large potatoes,
one-half pound butter, one order SQUASH
two quarts cranberry sauce, one minoe
pie.

Amateurs of snails are in state OF
mind bordering on despair. Owing to
the recent period of very hot and dry
weather, which created a shortage In
the favorite food Of cabbages and let
tuce, the grown-up snails have got sadly
out of condition. and as the death rate
among the juvenile members OF the breed
has been enormous. scarcity Is the rule,
and wholesale dealers are talking Of rails

the sort most appreciated by amateurs,
from the usual 15f. or 20f. to 40f.
II this Is the position so far as the snail
trade Is concerned. the prospect ID even
more gloomy as regards frogs. which
when brooks and ponds went dry had nc
choice left them but to expire. which
they did in shoals. So two queer kinds
of ediblAs will be virtually eliminated fol
some time from the menus OF those who
delight In such dishes.

in the matter. Supt Whitaker tiireced
that q number of hogs, which have been
raised and fattened at the institution, be
slaughtered for today.s repast. Mince pie
served. There are more than 400 wards
of the District at the Blue Plains Home,
and all Of them were on hand at the din
ner hour with full-dedged Thanksgiving
appetites.
Not far from the Home for the Aged
and Infirm is the Industrial School for
cOlOred children. Here home industry
again played a part In the preparation. of
the Thanksgiving repast. for it was de-
cided that better even than turkey or
porF is chicken, and the schools model
chicken farm was called on for a con-
tribution to the menu.
More than third Of the children at the
school. who have good department aver
Thanksgiving at their homes. but the
others found contentment in the chicken
dinner and athletic games, which made
up the afternoons part Of the program.
Religious Services Held.
The Industrial Home School. for white
children, was one Of the few District in
situations in which religious services were
held prior to the Thanksgiving dinner.
Services at this home were conducted
yesterday afternoon by the Rev. G. c. F.
Bratenahl. rector of st. Adams Church.
OF the $50 pounds of turkey bought for
all the institutions $50 pounds Of the
meat were served at the Industrial Home
School today. The bill Of fare was
large one and the children did ample
justice to it.
AS in the case of the Home for the
Aged and Infirm. pork took precedence
over turkey at the workhouse, at Deco
guam. and the Washington Asylum and
Hospital. At Occoquan pork was served
all the inmates. but at the Washington
Asylum and Hospital only the hospital
patients. An everyday bill Of fare was
served the Districts wards who are con-
fined in the Jail.
The Soldiers and Sailors Temporary
Home and the tuberculosis Hospital were
other District institutions which drew on
the supply Of turkeys for today's repasts.
At the latter more than $50 pounds Of the
meat were consumed.
The municipal lodging house was not
without its usual quota of Thanksgiving
day transients. The officials of this insti-
tuition ate turkey, but the temporary
guests received pork.

Thanksgiving dinners today that they
have eaten in many a year.
Turkey, pork and chicken, with liberal

nothing of pumpkin and mince pies, were
served in abundance. At some of the in
stitutions only pork was served, and at
others only chicken, the wishes of the
inmates being taken into consideration in
the preparation of the menus.
The District, however, bought $50
pounds OF turkey-several hundred pounds
