PIGEON USED IN POLITICS
Bird Found In Central Park, New
York, Believed to Have Come
From Philadelphia.

to vote?"
This election eve inquiry was found
attached to large gray homing
pigeon which fell exhausted in Gem
trail park near the menagerie and was
picked up by Daniel Burns, who has
charge Of the aviary.
A small brass ring encircled the
pigeons neck. to which was fastened
an aluminium tag with the initials u.
M" and below them the letters IL. l."
The election query was written on a
small piece Of paper which was at.
tached to the tag. LgI
Burns gave the bird sor b food and
water and after three-qua -Srs Of an
hours rest 1t was liberated. The pig.
con rose straight up in the air to a
high altitude and then headed south.
It was thought that the pigeons
home was In Philadelphia, and the
strawberry reference was to a famous
remask of James McNichol, the Re
publican organization boss there. who.
at tho height Of his power, once said:

The sleeve is heightened until 1t COW

placed at the termination of the

One cannot help wondering at and

Thanksgiving Proclamation

Washington, Oct. d. President
Wilson today issued his first Thanks
giving proclamation, naming Thurs
day November ~, as day devoted to
gratitude for the peoples blessings
The proclamation reads:
THE season is at hand in which it
has been our long respected custom
asa people to turn in praise and
thanksgiving to Almighty God for his
II anifold mercies and blessing to us
as nation. The year just past has
been marked by manifestations of his
gracious and bcnefi cent providence.
We not only had peace throughout
our own borders and with the nations
of the world. but that peace has been
frightened by multiplying evidences
of genuine friendship, of mutual sym
patty and understanding and of the
happy operation of many clevating in
fluences both ideal and of practice.
"The nation has not only been pros
porous, but has proved its capacity
to take calm counsel amidst the rapid
movement of affairs and deal with the
own life in a spirit OF candor, right
cousness and comfy. We have seen
the practical completion of a great
work at the lsthmus of Panama,
which not only excmplifies tina ma
tons acknowledgements to accom-
plish what it will a ndthc distinguish
ed skill and capacity of its public
servants but also promises the be-
ginning of new age, of new con-
tracts, new neighborhoods, new SYM
pathies, new bonds and new achieve
ments of cooperation and peace
righteousness eXalteth a nation
and peace on earth, good will toward
men furnish the only foundation upon
which can be built the lasting achieve
ments of the human spirit. The year
has brought us the satisfaction ,of
work well done and fresh visions of
our duty which will make the work
if the future better still.
Now, therefore, l, Woodrow Wilson,
president of the United States of
America, do herby hereby designate
Thursday, the 9th of November next
as a day of thanksgiving and pray
er and invite the people throughout
the land, to cease from their wonted
occupations and in their several
homes and places of worship render
thanks to Almighty God.
in witness whereof, have here
unto set my hand and caused the seal
of the United States to be affixed.

Prosperous Era Approaching

Chicago, Oct. 24.-Optimism was the
keynote of addresses tonight at the
annual banquet of heads of the Steel
corporations, which closed the con-
ference of the American iron and
steel institute. Speakers admitted
a temporary depression in the steel
trade, but asserted hat the country
was approaching prosperous BUSH
ness era.
And at the conclusion of these re-
marks of promise Judge Ebert H.
Gary, chairman of the United States
Steel corporation, who acted as chair
man, advised all that whatever hap
pens that is displeasng to youi, be

Among those who spoke were Geo.

gene ]. Burlington and the chair
man.
The situation requires patience"
said Mr.. Burlington, who is chairman
of the Chicago committee on arragen-
ments. Easter money is already at
hand and unless the signs of the
times are in error we are now on the
eve of another prosperous era"
Mr.. Schwab asserted that the spirit
of pessimism he found in the nation
upon his recent return from Europe
was not well founded.
I'VE deserve what we are getting"
asserted Mr.. Perkins in reference to
legislation. I'VE and the public do
not take sufficient interest in public

Notwithstanding this, | believe
that all t he legislation in the world
