CROP OF TURKEYS
SAID TO BE LARGE
No Shipments of Thanksgiving Birds,
However, Have Been Received
in This City.

Although the crop of turkeys this year
is said TO be the largest of the century,
and Thanksgiving Day only ten days
hence, no shipments of the birds have
been received in Washington as yet, and
none is expected for several days. The
large crop is due TO the mild and dry
summer. AS for quality, experts say,
the birds this fall are fairly fat, although
not quite as plump as in some previous
years.
The first consignment Of THANKSGIVING
turkeys was received in New York on
Saturday, and in the lot were 5000 dry
picked birds. Under the new tariff
which lowers the duty from cents to
2h cents a pound, several thousand tur-
keys are being imported from Russia,
China, and Siberia. 1t is estimated that
about 10000 turkeys have been engaged
for shipment to the New York markets
from fourteen States. A large portion
of these viii come from Texas, Ken
lucky, and Ohio.
With such a large crop, the price of
the Thanksgiving supply will not ex-
coed 80 cents pound retail for plump
Southern birds, while thinner Western
specimens may be offered as low as Is
cents.

CARDINALS NDORSE
TUBERCULOSIS DAY
Gibbons and Farley Urge Clergy to
Assist in Nationwide
Movement.

Both Cardinal Gibbons and Cardinal
Farley have indorsed the movement for
the observance of the Fourth National
tuberculosis Day on December Z, accord
ing to an announcement made yesterday
by the National Association for the Study
and. Prevention of tuberculosis.
Cardinal Gibbons writes to Mr.. II. Writ
Steele. secretary of the Maryland associa-
ton. as follows:
My wonder has been aroused by the
simplicity of the arms used in this war
fare-namely-rational living and cleanli-
ness-which are within the reach of all.
Il shall follow with special interest all
your efforts in this splendid propaganda
against the terrible disease, and hope the
results of your labor will be commensu-
rate with the zeal. the 'energy, and self
sacrifice which you and your fellow
workers are devoting TO the work.
Cardinal Farley says:
Your work must commend itself to
every human soul as'it aims to free from
and to destroy a source of contagion that
knows no barrier.
1.-THE campaign of education and reguIa-
tion must continue until all shall know
their duty and have the determination
to push forward all preventive effort
against its breeding places, so that
neither occupation, residence, or personal
habit shall give occasion to its develop

How to Bake a Cake.

% When preparing your cake tin, al
ways grease il first, and then line II
with paper. Some people grease the pa
per, but this is mistake. Others grease
the tin and put no paper, but this is
equally bad, for it nearly always causes
the cake to burn.
CO Beginners sometimes slip into the
error of thinking that a cake will not
rise until II Is put into a very fierce
oven. This Is quite wrong, for the fierce
heat only hardens the outside and makes
IL impossible for the inside TO swell
properly.
90 In order to test the heat OF the
oven put in a piece OF white kitchen
paper and let il stay for a couple OF
minutes II the paper is only warmed
and not colored at all the oven Is too
cool for the average Of cakes; there
should be just heat enough to make the
paper curl up a little and go slightly
brown at the edges, but not enough to
scorch it or make il smoke.

about to leave his station he was NOR
tally wounded.
Tenderly his men carried him into the
town. To the surgeon who cared for
him he said Tell me, doctor, is my

The next day he was weaker and
asked to see a clergyman. He was
baptized in the presence of Gen. Burn
side and his STAFF. Then the chaplain
offefed a prayer for the dying soldier.
Tears streamed down the face OF Burn
side, who loved Sanders as a son. The
bronZed warrior knelt at the bedside
and held the younger mans hand within
his own. Sanders opened his eyes.
smiled and spoke a final word to his
chief. Then, in peace, he passed to his
final sleep.
His death cast a gloom over the Fed
eral army. Burnside announced his death
in a general order. "A life rendered
illustrious by a long record Of gallantry
and devotion to his country has closed
while in the heroic and unfiinching per-
formance of duty" he wrote.
Distinguished always for his self
possession and daring in the field and
in his private life eminent for his genial
and unselfsh nature and the sterling
qualities of his character, he has left
both as a man and soldier an unfair
nished name"
The commander gave tribute to the
fallen soldier. Thereafter, by order of
Gen. Burnside. the earth fort on the
west side Of Knoxville. originally a Con-
federate work called Fort Loudon, was
known as Fort Sanders-a monument to
a young man who had given his life to
his country.

numbers. they fell back within mile
OF Fort Loudon.
The following day, November y, there
was frequent skirmishing through the
morning. The Confederates rearranged
their lines, and the Federals under Gen.
Sanders threw up a rough defense OF
logs and rails. This rude barricade
barred the kingston Pike, over which the
Confederates were approaching, and ex-
tended north OF the road to the large
brick house of Mr. NJ. NJ. Armstrong.
About 3 o'clock in the afternoon Cen
Lafayette McLaws. commanding d.
vision of the Confederate army, received
orders to advance and drive the Federals
from their rail breastwork. The con-
test that ensued was a sharp one.
For nearly two hours Sanders men
held their own in spite of determined
advance on the part of the enemy. Col
J. d. Nance, of the Third South Caro-

the engagement as ''the most desperate

Gen. Sanders took his post under the

he could see the progress Of the fight all
along his lines. Slowly his men were

A GOOD CRY OFTEN
CLEARS ATMOSPHERE
Repression Is Waste of Vitality, Not
Storing Up Energy, as Com
monty Supposed.

A great many persons mistake repres-
sion for poise. In the oId-time school
discipline, and il is not wholly extinct
by any means, pupils were expected TO
sit stin as little ramrods, with hands
clasped on the desk in front of them,
every muscle taut, nerves at highest ten

relapsed. with the life gone out of them

Now. this is a hurrying age and most of
us living at pretty near top speed, but it
isn't the killing pace. 1t was because.
gradually, very gradually, to be sure,
people are learning how to live.
There is no greater mistake made than
to waste ones vitality, and no more val
liable lesson to be learned than that of
storing up energy. Repression-"holding
yourself in" is wasting vitality, not stor-
ing up energy as commonly supposed.
Do not misunderstood this point. 1t is
not meant that one should give away to
every passing emotion, to allow temper
to get the better of you, or to let the
nerves run away with you. On the con-
trary, hold yourself lightly in check.
Just as you would guide high-spirited
horse with a firm, yet light rein, so with
yourself. Let your will guide and di-
rect, but not to the extent of curtailing
freedom OF thought and motion. Permit
an unbiased view OF things as they are.
When troubles overtake you and wor-
ries seem about to become overwhelming.
instead of bracifg for resistance it is bet
ter to shake yourself free of the fear and
evaporation and to face the situation
calmly and deliberately. One must get
outside of ones self occasionally. 1t is
necessary not only to happiness, but to-
health as well, and there is no beauty aid
so effective as a well-formed habit of

scolding and cajoling an infant in an

things, so with ones self. 1t is some
times wise to let ones self go.
A good cry oftentimes clears the at
mosphere like magic, and so IL one Is
willing to take the chance of swollen and

As the Confederates came UP toward
Knoxville in the morning of fifty years

this detachment to gain every possible

labOring on the defenses.
Gen. Sanders possessed unusual at
tainment. He was only twenty eight
years old, a native OF Kentucky, and
graduate of West. Point in the class OF
1856. Every one in the army who knew
him liked him. He was companionabIe,
fearless, brave. As colonel of the Fifth
Kentucky Cavalry he had won renown

Fifty Years Ago.
November H. 1s63confedaes Under Gen James LOnseet Took Posi-
of the Defensive Works of Knoxville and Gen. Bundes
Federal Army Prepared for a Siege
Cwritten expressly for Tho Herald)

Fifty years ago today the siege OF
Knoxville, East Tennessee, began, when a
Confederate army under Gen. James
Longstreet took position in front of the
defensive works of the town.
Gen Longstreet, with about 15,0O0 ef-
fectives, had been detached from Gen.
Braxton Bragg's army, which was be-
sieging the Federals in Chattanooga, and
sent into East Tennessee to capture or
drive out the Federals under Gen. A E.
Burnside, who had occupied that section
of the State in September Burnside's
force numbered about $1,000 men, but this
was SO scattered that when the siege of
Knoxville opened there were only 1900
troops in the town.
The advance of the Confederates into
East Tennessee had caused alarm in the
Federal ranks. Gen. Burnside was in
doubt as to the best policy to pursue,
and for a while was il favor of retreat
ing to Cumberland Gap and giving up
the territory he had gained. As an alter
native he proposed going south of the

noteworthy work had been done toward
placing Knoxville in a state of defense.
On that day Capt. Orlando NJ Poe,
Burnside's chief engineer. mapped out
defensive line and placed the garrison,
which was under Mai. Gen. John G..
Parke, at work. AS the balance OF the
army came into the town from Camp
bells Station the regiments were as
signed places; and all day and night
of November II the sound OF pick and
shovel was heard along the Union lines.
By noon of November IL the defenders
were pretty well protected.
GirdIed by Hills.
The natural features of the country
made Knoxville readily susceptible OF de-
fense. The town occupied high, hilly
plateau, bounded by abrupt eminences.
On the northeast side these protecting
heights-Temperance Hill and Maorys
HiII-were particularly precipitous, SO
much so that the Confederates never
contemplated operations against them.

decided as TO the method of resistance
against LonsstTeet, had sent messengers
from Chattanooga to give him advice.
These men were Charles A. Dana, Assist
ant Secretary Of War, and Gen. James II.
Wilson. Grants inspector general Dana
and Wilson reached Knoxville on NOvem
ber II. They conferred with Burnside,
pointed out to him the futility of Operat-
ing south of the Holston River. and urged
him TO make determined stand and to
hold Longstreet in check until Grant
might be abIe-to send assistance.
The arguments of Wilson and Dana
were supplemented by fOrceful kilograms
from the Washington authorities and
from Grant, emphasizing the necessity
for holding East Tennessee at all hazards.
Burnside then determined to hold his
ground.

November Il. near the Tennessee River
opposite LoudOn. From that point tho
Union troops slowly retreated toward
Knoxville, coltesting the ground and en-
deavoFing to check the Confederate ad-
vance as much their inferior numbers
would allow.
On November l6 an engagement was
fought near Campbells Station, about
pf ba
Confederates failed in their attack and
the NFeusrais fell back to Knoxville, un-
der cover of darkness.
Burnside had determined to make a
final stand at the town. He hoped to be
able to hold his own until relief should
be sent him. A siege Of that place by
the COnfederates would prevent them
from Overrunning East Tennessee. and,
more important still, would prevent
their rejOining Gen. Bragg in time to
fight against Gen. Grant.
Gen. Burnside reached Knoxville from
Campbells Station at midnight of Novem-
Der l6. Finding the garrison at work on
the defenses, he sent out a strong de- I

hold the advancing Confederates in |

under Gen. William p Sanders. a young
cavalry commander who had already /
gained the esteem of his comrades for |
his bravery and daring.
