WILL PROTECT KINGS LIFE
AGAINST ANARCHISTS

ROME, Nov. 26.-Precautions are
being taken today against any pos
sible attempt on the life of the king
when he goes to deliver the opening
address of the twenty-fourth parlia-
ment tomorrow.
The occasion has always been a
favorite one for the anarchists in
Italy to attempt the Kings life. In
addition, the recent elections, which
were the first held in Italy under the
universal suffrage, aroused degree
of excitement and agitation that has
not yet entirely abated.
The king will leave the Quirinal in
a closed carriage, entirely surround
ed by mounted guards and will pro-
ceed at gallop to parliament. Troops
will there be massed not only in the
plaza in front but around the entire
building. Through these the king
will pass to the chamber where, in
addition to the deputies, senators and
ministers there will be no one who has
not been passed upon by the depart
ment of public safety. The king will
begin his address the moment he
reaches the speakers stand and will
leave Immediately afterwards.

WASHINGTON, D. c., Nov. 26.-
Only half dozen persons know
where Sayre and his bride are spend
ing their honeymoon. Last night
they eluded reporters and photo
graphers by reaching the executive
offices through private passageways,
and entered an auto waiting on a
side street. 1t is believed they mot
ored to Baltimore but it is not known
whether they took the train from
there.
1t was learned that, at the brides
request, the word "obey" was not
omitted from the marriage service
Hundreds of official and society
people received announcement of the
wedding today.
A large force of workmen are busy
removing flowers and decorations

ANENT THANKsGIvINGs.

In ancient history days the feast
Of Thanksgiving lasted during one
phase Of the moon and was sort of
harvest home" festival, which was
called the Feast of Tabernacles. The
offerings which the ancient Hebrews
made to God on this occasion were
gold, silver and precious stuffs, be-
sides laborers to work upon the re-
building of the House of God. Read
the first chapter of Ezra and you will
find that this is so. The Thanksgiv-
ing was an occasion of great pomp
and ceremony. Workers in the church
of God from the head dignitary to the
least among them were clothed in
purple and fine linen and wore gold
en- bands upon their turbans bearing
the inscription, Holiness to the Lord
They blew great trumpets as a sig
nal, and all the people gathered to-
gether in the open places of the cit
les singing and praising God and CIV
ing thanks. Moreover, the building
received the name of the builder. The
Temple of Zerubbabel, for example,
was built by Zerubbabel under King
Cyrus. So the feast of Thanksgiving
which we observe SO joyously today
in our homes and churches and in
memory Of good times" generous
harvests, general welfare in the days
of our Puritan fathers, has been q
church festival for many centuries.-

To prevent any jewler from Sc

LONDON, Eng, Nov. 26.--"The

MINERAL INDUSTRIES OF INDIA

The growing Importance of the
mineral industries of India is eX-
planned in the annual report of the
director of the geological survey of
India, for 1912, which has just been
issued
The aggregate value of the miner
al production of India in 1912 reach
ed the large total Of $40, 1902, ,422,
which represents an increase of &c.
512,945 over the figures of the pre-
ceding twelve months. Coal is by
far the most important mineral pro-
duct of India. The value of the out
put 3f the coal fields in 1912 reached
a total of $16,088,374, which repre-
sents an advance of over 32 per cent.
The aggregate output amounted to
nearly 14,750,000 tons, which was al
most l6 per cent more than the total
of the previous year and nearly g.
100000 tons in advance of the output
of the boom year of 1908, when the
figure exceeded 12,750,000 tons, and
the average price at the pits mouth
advanced to $1.20.
Gold comes next to coal in the min
ing industries of India, and at q time
when some of the gold fields of the
world report diminishing output it
is interesting to note in India an ad-
vance of s163,6O or 1.5 per cent. in
the production of the Indian mines.
The advance is not very large, but
the aggregate yield of the fields
reached the total Of $11,040,977.
The decline which occurred in the
production of petroleum in Burma
in 1911 was followed by large ex-
pansion in 1912. The aggregate Fro
duction of India was sixteen million
gallons in excess of the highest fig
ures previously recorded, namely, in
1909, amounting to over 249,000, 900
gallons.

agents.
The offices have been established

work of investigation is already well
started and will be prosecuted vigor-

water shed of the Pixies Peak region
as the water supply depends largely
on the tree growth. This is a new

rebels routed the combined federal
forces of Generals Orozo, Salazar,
Carakeo, Rogas, and Mancilla after
thirty hour battle. The federals re-

The fatalities are reported to be
the greatest of any Mexican battle

States in 1S47. An accurate estimate
of the number is impossible.
The federal flight was disorderly
and precipitated them abandoning
their twenty cannon. General Villa
telegraphed General Columedina,
commandant at Juarez, that the reb-
els were in 'disgraceful retreat"
The rebels captured their artillery
and three trains with supplies and
ammunition. The rebels though. are
apparently not pursuing the federals.
General Villa will return to Juarez
soon. Wounded rebel officers at
Juarez say Villa executed eight fed
eral officers yesterday, stripping
them of clothing before shooting
them.
