ably advance eastwardly til-day, causing
rain in the northern part of this section
and in New England, and high southerly
to snutliwisterly .winds oil the coasts
north of Sandy Hook. Temperature

the Middle States and New England
warmer, partly cloudy to cloudy weath-
er will prevail, with southerly to wester—
ly winds. followed by rain near the

pose, and is arranging in it a most elab-
orate stock of everything pertaining to
the busrness. The lower front of the
building is being painted in pretty colors.
Mr. Kerrigan is an old hand at the busi-

Extraordinary Musical Talent.
"it requires but one hearing," says the
t‘hicago Herald, “to convince anyone
for whom murlc has charms that Frau-
lein Adele aus der Ohe possesses musical
talents that are more extraordinary than
the composition of her unpronounceable
name. She played the Liszt concerto
for pianoforte in E flat with it dash that
was simply irresistible. Her technical
facility is remarkable, and while her
reading is rather practical than poetical,
and lacks idenlity, there is no doubt that
she deserves to rank high among piano
artists. The conclusion of her number
was the signal for a storm of applause
that did not wear itself out for several
minutes." Miss Adele aur der Ohe ap-

utterly impossible to make a play out of

too. The play will be seen at Music Hall

In reply to an inquiry from Jacob M.
Layton, cashier of the City National
Bank, the following opinion of the Soli-
citor of the L'. S. Treasurer was received
by him from J. I). Andrews, Acting L'.
S. Comptroller:
In reply to your reference of this ques-
tion to me, I have to say that it was pro-
vided by Congress at its last session that
Tueedav. the thirtieth day of April,
Anno Domini, eighteen hundred and
eighty-nine, is declared to be a national
holiday throughout the United States.

The proclamation of the President to
which reference is made, is in the nature
of and substantially an appointment of
a day of thanksgiving. The language is
that "in order that the joy of the occa-
sion may be associated with adeep thank.
fulness in the minds of the people,” &c.
Then follows the recommendation for
the assembling of the people in their re-
spective places of worship “to implore
the favor of God that the blessings of
liberty, prosperity and peace may abide
with us as a people, and that His hand
may lead us in the paths of righteous-
ness and good deeds."
It is true that there is no special invo-
Cation to thanksgiving, but the object
is apparent and the injunction arises, by
implication at least, to the preamble I
have before cited.

but before the team could be stopped the
wheel had passed over the prostrate
child. The unfortunate little fellow

CENTENNIAL 'rnaxitsotvixo.
A Proclamation.
In conformity with an Act of Con-
gress, and as a fitting recognition of the
centennial anniversary of the inaugura-
tion of George Washington, as the first
President of the United States, I hereby
designate and set apart Tuesday, the
thirtieth day of April, as aday of thanks-
giving. And I would recommend to the
people of the State that by suitable reli-
gious ceremonies, and in other befitting
ways, they express their gratitude that
the first century of our national existence
has been soenriched by divine favor,
and so plenteously blessed with prosper-
ity, happiness and progress. In remem-
brance of him who was our nation's
first chief magistrate, and in commem-
oration of those early days when that
free popular government,wbich has been
our priceless heritage, was taking form
and shape as it has been bequeathed to
mighty God, our'appreciation and pro-
found thankfulness.
Given under my band and the seal of
the State, at the Capitol, in Hartford,
this twenty-third day of April. in the
year of our Lord one thousand eight
hundred and eighty-nine, and of the in~
dependence of the United States, the one
hundred and thirteenth. .
