THANKSGIVING DAY."
“ 3305i. be those feasts with simple plenty
crowned '
\V here all the ruddy family around,
Laugh at the jests or pranks that never fall
01‘ Sigh with pity at some mournful talc.”
~Goldsmith.
Tlie Puritan emigrants who came to
this country brought with them a stern
hatred for all fasts and feasts asso-
ciated with the church from which
they had cut themselves free. Judged
by easy modern standards, the Puri-
tan character seems grim, narrow and
unattractive, but to the handful of
men and women who faced exile,
hardship and danger of death for the
sake of their soul’s freedom we in
America largely owe what is best in
our national life today.
The ’Mayflower is usually now re«
garded’ as a sort of Noah’s ark, capa-
ble of holding any number of passen-
gers, so that it is somewhat startling
to remember that she was only of 158
tons burden, which is less thanIthat of
an ordinary coastwise fishing boat.
When we further think that 102 peo-
ple were packed away on board of her
for (37 days, it is astonishing that only
one man died, and as little Oceanus
Hopkins was born at sea, the number
of the ship's company was the same
when at last, by the early (lawn of the
ninth of November, 1620, they sighted
a sandy and well-wooded shore. *
The grown men met: in the cabin of
the Mayflower as she lay in the harbor
of what is now Provincetown and
framed the first American constitution
for the government of the colony.
It is not unlikely that the first
American Thanksgiving followed soon
after. The date usually accepted, how-
ever, is at the end of the next Octo-
ber, when the first harvest had been
gathered in. '
The winter after they landed was
one Of great suifering, nearly half of
their number having died between De-
cember and March, but in their own
words “warm and fair weather came
at last, and the birds sang in the
woods most pleasantly.” They sowed
six acres with barley and peas, and 20
more with Indian‘corn found in a na-
tive storehouse during the winter,
which their Indian friend Squanto
showed them how to cultivate. When
their simple crops were gathered
in they prepared to hold a. festival,
perhaps with wistful memories of the
English “harvest homes” which they
were never to see again.
This first real Thanksgiving seems
like the calm warmth of Indian sum—
mer among the bleak days Of those
hard years. The next one, 1622, was
full of misfortunes.
Winslow, one of the colonists, says
he saw strong men- staggering about
at noon—time faint for want of food,
and Elder Brewster was found one
day sitting down to table with nothing
but a platter of broiled clams and a
jug Of water before him. But his spirit.
was unbroken and over this meagre
fare he gave thanks that he and his
were permitted “to suck of the abun-
dance of the seas, and Of the treas—
ures hid in the sand.”
At last things came to such a pass
that in the end Of July a day was set
’ apart for fasting, humiliation and pray-
ers for rain. For eight or nine hours
without intermission they pleaded and
strove with the Lord, and as they leftthc
little fort which protected their wor-
ship they looked in each other’s faces
as men do who see help at hand when
they have been near death, for clouds
were slowly gathering, and before
many hours the rain was falling gent-
ly and steadily upon the cracked and
dusty earth. Another Thanksgiving
followed. -
The camps and councils of the Revov
lution brought men together from all
parts Of the country and it was a great
force in the development of social life.
l‘hree fasts were set by the Continental
Congressbefore the first Thanksgiv-
ing, but that was one not to he forgot—
ten. Burgoyne had surrendered,
which meant that he could not shut the
New England colonies off from the
South by holding the Hudson River.
Washington was then with his army
at T(alley Forge, and his order for “the
day runs: “Tomorrow being the day
set apart by the honorable Congress
for Public Thanksgiving and praise,
and duty calling us devoutly to express
our grateful acknowledgements to God
for the manifold blessings he has
granted us, the General directs that
the army remain in its present quar-'
ters, and that the chaplains perform
divine services with their different
corps and brigades, and earnestly ex-
horts all officers and soldiers whose ab-
sence is not indispensably necessary
to attend with reverence the solemnl-
iies of the day.”
That was our first national Thanks-
giving Day, but it was not followed
by one each year. As time went on
one state after another made it a cus-
tom tO keep an autumn holiday. New
York for instance, having done so since
1817, but is was not until Abraham
Lincoln appointed the twenty-sixth of
November, 1863, that the day now uni-
versally kept was nationally acknowl-
edged.
OCCASION FOR THANKFULNESS.
That the voice of the statesman is

Mention of Her Crime Deeply Affects
the Accused Girl.
SHE HADI‘AITH IN CATALDO.
The Story of the Wrongs Which Led Her
'to Kill Her Italian Lover—She Had
Only Requested That Re Should
Make Her His Wife.
NEW YORK, Nov. 28..—Maria. Barberi
went on the witness stand! ay to be
cross examined by Assistant lstrict At-
torney McIntyre. The young woman had
braced herself for this ordeal. She walked
to the stand with a steady step, and seem-
ed to be composed as she began to answer
the questions of the prosecutor.
Mr. McIntyre made the cross examina-
tion as easy as possible for the girl. He
spoke to her kindly and encouragingly.
First he asked her about how she learned
English. She told him that at the last
trial she could speak only Italian, but that
her friends at Sing Sing had taught her to
speak English. The assistant district at-
torney then questioned her about her rela-
tions with Cataldo and had her repeat
much of her testimony of Wednesday.
f Concerning her allegation that Cataldo
took her to a. saloon in Chrystie street and
there gave her a drug the prosecutor in-
quired closely.
“You testified that when you were in
the when you drank some soda; Cataldo
had some stufi' in a. glass. and after he had
drunk half Of it poured it into your glass;
you took it and became sick. Is that true ”
he asked.
1 “Yes. I 2
“You testified at your last trial that
Cataldo tried to take you into a house in
Baxter street where there was an Italian
woman and you were afraid to go in.
- How long was that before he took you to
the Chrystie street saloon?”
“A long time.”
time before he took you to the Chrystie
street saloon? Why did you go with Ca-
taldo after that?”
The girl made an answer that was un-
intelligible, and Mr. McIntyre asked her if
she would not rather speak through an in-
terpreter. She replied that she preferred
English.
Lawyer House declared that it was only
fair that both examination and cross ex-
amination should be in English.
“Have you not been told what you ought
to testify to?”
t 4 N0. 1 1
“DO you remember talking to Police-
man O’Rourke in the station house?”
“Yes, but it seems just like a dream.”
Bad Faith In Cataldo.
“Before you went to live with him in
Thirteenthstreet did he tell you he would
give you half the money he had in the
savings bank?” ‘
“No; we never spoke about money ex-
cept once. I asked him to marry me, and
he said he would give me money. I said:
‘I don’t want money. I want you to mar-
ry me and make me good.’ ”
“Why did you not refuse to go and live
with Cataldo before he married you?”
“He said he would marry me if I lived
with him. ”
The girl became restless a little as Mr.
McIntyre asked her about events that oc-
curred about the timc Of Cataldo’s death.
The mention of the razor made her cry a
little, but in a few moments she recovered
her composure. '
“At the last trial did you not say this
razor was Cataldo’s?” asked Mr. McIn-
tyre.
“Yes, but I did not know whether it
was or not.”
“Is it true that you did not tell the
truth at the last trial?”
“I don’t know what I said. I just
wanted to get out Of the chair, I felt so
sick. I might have said anything. I do
not tell lies ever. ” >.
Mr. McIntyre read the girl’s testimony
at the last trial concerning the incident in
the Chrystie street saloon. She then told
the story exactly as at the present trial, ex-
cept that she did not say that she became
dizzy and ill after drinking, and they went
to a house just adjoining the saloon. The
prosecutor wanted to know if the defend-
ant remembered giving the story in that
manner, and Mr. House objected vigor-
ously on the ground that the question was
incompetent, irrelevant and immaterial.
Justice Gilderslceve overruled the objec-
tion. “I don’t remember,” was the reply
of the witness.

REDS AT ”FOOTBALL.
THE CARLI'SL‘E BOYS A R'EVELA-
TION IN FOOTBALL.
I Struggle With Yale’s Champions—Nev-
‘York’l Unstl‘nted Applause {or fix:
I Plucky Young Redskins. /
Considered entirely apart from the
science of football, the game at Man
hattan Field on Saturday between the
Yale eleven and the young redskin:1
from the Indian Industrial School an
Carlisle, Pa., was perhaps the most in-
teresting ever played ‘in New York
From first to last, through thick and
thin, the crowd was seemingly unani-
mous in” their applause of the Indians.
For the first time in Yale’s experience
there was not a cheer for the wearer
of the light blue.
The Indians seemed to be surprised
by the enthusiasm of their welcome
by the spectators.
i" But for the Indians—well, you had
to hear it to understand. For them-
selves the Indians never piped up
once, and so the enthusiastic crowd
had no cue as to what the Carlisle yell
is, if, indeed, the Indians have pro-
gressed so far in civilization as to
adopt one. But that didn’t stop the
crowd from shouting. ,
One brass—lunged man who sat in
the Open seats on the north side of the
field devoted himself to one shout,
which he steadily repeated all through
the game, and with tremendous effect.
Nearly every time the two teams lined
up for a, scrimmage this man’s shout
of encouragemeiit boomed across the
field. His voice was heavy and hoarse,
but he kept it up to the last, and every
time he shouted he said:
“Get at ’em. Lone Wolf! 'Get at
’em, Lone Wolf I”
Lone Wolf did get at ’91:). He was
a tower of strength to his team. He
was the immovable object meeting the
resistless force, and resisting it. And
every time he stood like a stone wall
against the shock of Yale’s human bat-
tering rams over and through and» un-
der all the yells of praise and enthusi-
asm that swept from all sides of the
field boomed the brass-lunged man‘s:
“Get at ’em, Lone Wolf! Get at
’em, Lone W01» !”
But this note of applause had its
contrapuntal. For at the very last,
when the Indians had covered them—
selves with glory by tying the score,
they were robbed of their hard-earned
triumph. The Carlisle boys were en-
titled to believe that the man who had
been teaching them the game at least
would not rob them of what they
earned at it; they had a right to trust
him just as many a time the Indians
at an agency have believed they could
trust the Government agent in whose
charge they lived. And just as many
an agent has proved false to his trust
so this referee was to his. No more
significant demonstration of the sym-
pathy Of the thousands of spectators
could have been made than was given
when, after the referee’s decision ue-
priving Jameson of his touch-down,
the whole crowd got together in their
yelling for the first time in the game,
and shouted in unison: “Touchdown!
touchdown!” changing it after a while
to “Robber! Robber!” Then the hisses
and the groans which greeted the final
reiteration of the mistaken decision
added emphasis to the already clearly
pronounced Opinion of the spectators.
It remains to be seen whether Yale
will play the Indians again. This
much is sure: NO matter what team
lines up against the sturdy redskins in
New York, a great crowd will go out
to see the game and cheer the children
of a new civilization on to victory.—

Seeing “'as Believing.-
Mayor’s Clerk Palmer of Baltimore
who is young and modest had an ex-
ceedingly embarrassing moment yes-
terday morning.
One of his multifarious duties is to
attend to persons who apply at the
Mayor’s office for permits to secure
the killing of dogs which have bitten
or annoyed persons passing by _or en-
tering the premises of their owners.
. Yesterday Mr. Palmer was seated at
his desk when two attractive young
girls entered the room. One-of them
come to have an end put to a dog be-
longing to a neighbor. She said the dog
had jumped at her as she was passing
by and had bitten her on the right
leg.
Under the inspiration of Mr. Palmer's
questions she gave a graphic narrative
of the whole scene; how the dog
growled, how he jumped without war-
rant or reason, and how his teeth had
planted themselves in her flesh.
“Did he really bite you?” asked Mr.
Primer.
Hi: fair visitor was indignant at this
ska; . .‘ll remark. .
"If you don’t believe me,” she said,
“I'll show you the marks of his teeth.”
The young girl drew nearer to Mr.
V ‘ . .
Palmer. and a confused VlSlOD of black
and white swam before his eyes.
“Look at the marks,” he heard a voice
say from behind it all, scornful and
imperious. In a moment it was over.
Mr. Palmer had been convinced, and
the permit was made out. The young
girl departed with the paper, and the
Mayor's clerk was left alone to slowly
realize just what had occurred—Bani;
