life WAS SUSPENDED fnd Thanksgiving Day Appro priately Observed Here. DR. BARBOUR’S ABLESERMON % At the First Presbyterian Church—A Fine Pro. gramme Rendered at Temple Emanuel. . Thanksgiving was generally observed Shore yesterday, nearly everybody taking a holiday, or at least a half holiday. Quite a number of the men spent the day In the woods hunting, while others Sought amusement or recreation in other (hays. The postoffice and banks were closed and the schools were not In session. A great number of the merchants closed their doors and suspended busi ness at noon in order that their clerks might enjoy a well earned rest. Several private dinners and Informal affairs were given and Thanksgiving ser vices were held in quite a number of the churches. The day was an ideal one, the weather being cool and bracing with a slight rise of The mercury In the afternoon. Church ot the Advent. Thanksgiving services were held In the Church of the Advent, conducted by the rector, Re\‘ Dr. T. J. Beard, who gave a short talk appropriate to the occasion. liAt the conclusion of the service the holy sacrament was administered to the mem bers of the church. Presbyterian Churches. All the Presbyterian churches of the pity united in Thanksgiving services at the First Presbyterian church. Dr. John Parbour, pastor of the South Highland resbyterian church, preached the Thanksgiving sermon from the text: . Psalm, cxlv, 15: ‘‘Thou openest Thy [hand and satisflest the desire of every living thing.” A larger, more impressive thought does iiot enter the human mlml than this—the care which the great God exercises every jnomont over every creature of His hand. Wherever men have thought of a per sonal God this truth has come to mind. [Indeed we believe in God only because !We see evidences of a divine presence and providence in the earth. The an cient hymns of the Hindoos, relics of an earlier and purer faith, abound in ascriptions to the Giver of all. and Greek art attained its highest expression in Phidias' statue at Olympia of Jupiter, Father over all. ■ This truth, then, is fundamental. If Fou doubt the reality of Providence today Fou are lingering in the vestibule of the Semple. You cannot worship at the al |ar. If you do not believe in Providence 6’ou cannot rejoice in grace, i What an exquisite picture in our text bf the abundance of the provision for all, end the perfect ease—Thou openest Thine hand—with which all the armies of [living creatures are supplied. And so there Is enough for all. Hut. says one, there is not enough for nil. What means the poverty on every (hand, the squalor, the misery, the fam ines sweeping thousands off the earth? Now of this providence thus impeached 1 remark: 1. It is not irrespective of human in dustry. Every creature must gather according j to its nature. For though a bird has but ; to fly to the spot and pick up the grain, 1 jind whilst with many creatures sport End work go hand in hand, man must dig and reap in order to have. He be longs to a larger system. So long as the woods are full of lumber for our houses End the hills store their minerals and jour fields respond to labor so long God’s bounty cannot be questioned. And this law is not a hindrance or qualification of that bounty, for labor, brings appetite, and appetite leads to mew discoveries of plenty. With larger desires come new drafts from nature's ttore. The use of jewels came with man's own development. An Indian today (would rather have an eagle feather. Men : waited long before they knew of the uses iof some of our most familiar objects— 'coal, for instance. Doubtless the very ground at our feet is full of rejected treasures. i -2. But this bounty is not irrespective bf the claims of human brotherhood. I God has given to us as members of a 1 race—a family. On every dollar's worth bf treasure, on every acre of ground, God reserves a lien for the benefit of His poor. ; If the penury and the suffering are i6ue to the unequal or the ungenerous distribution of God’s favor they cannot be charged upon the giver or used as ar gument against His providence. There are men in this city denying this doctrine who have in their own clinched, list the refutation of their doubts. A jnan who has cornered the coal or the 1 provisions of the poor does not believe 1 In Providence! I do not wonder. How Ijcan he afford to believe In Providence un !>11 he mends his ways? God does not Intervene to keep you from taking your neighbor's life; neither will He interpose Sf you rob him of his little all. Never theless, His word testifies against you. End when all accounts are Settled it will ptand against you. i And this law of brotherhood is a bless ing, too. It is the very law of wealth. The family is the best economical ar rangement ever devised. Seven people cannot live so economically together in any other way as In the family relation. •And the principle operates at large. The IN THE WORLD OF BEAUTY I IS SUPREME Not only is it the most effective skin puri fying and beautifying soap in the world, but it is the purest, sweetest, and most refreshing for toilet, bath, and nursery.

They care for their poor; they nurse their sick, and so they have fewer poor and sick to care for. This does not obliterate the law of prosperity. The very Providence which marks out the bounds of our habitation begets thereby the sense and right of property. We are not buffaloes wander ing in herds, nor birds of a feather flock ing together. Our wants differ, our tastes, cur capacities. 3. This opens herein to the further thought that God's bounty is not irre spective of human character. There is a divine government in the world as well as a Providence—a providential govern ment. A man who will not work, or who spends his all in the vicious courses may not come to me and say: ‘‘I’m hungry and the world ow-es me a living. I must live.” I might answer with Talleyrand, “I don’t see that. For aught I know God may intend you to starve. I must help you personally so far, and I must give with my neighbors in certain general measures of relief, but beyond that I am not called upon to go." My honestly got ten property has paid its generous lien toward the poor and the sick to divide share and share alike with one who might have had as well as I, and may have had a tenfold better chance than t. It cannot be denied that the worthiest Iman may be reduced to poverty, but it is also true that if there were no unworthy poor it would bo a light task to help the unfortunate poor. And who believes that if the law of love obtained we could ever have the distressing panics that come upon us—often, too, with the land glutted with food and treasure. Yet it must be recognized that men by their own sins largely cut themselves off from the bounty of God and the help of their fellows. And it is right that these dis tinctions should obtaiifS It would be strange if equal advantages were given to the law-breaker and the law-keeper. Such a Providence would beget improvi dence. It would legalize the wrong. It would put a premium on it. I have thought it profitable today to state sharply to ourselves these consider ations which vindicate and illustrate the providence of God. Yet how wonderfully He cares for the mass of His creatures, despite idleness and crime, despite self ishness and waste. In I*t a small per centage of American homes will there not be a dinner today to regale the palate of a king, and that whether a word of Thanksgiving be spoken or not. And so at last God's providence is a wonderful exposition of His grace. Ana now we nave iner to give expres sion to our gratitude. How blessed are we, my friends, to live in a lend where It is now good form for the chief mag istrate of the nation and state to call the people together for praise. It would be "bad politics" to omit this. The cus tom. however formally kept up by our magistrates, is a marvelous proof that ours is a Christian nation and that the mass of our people desire to see God recognized as the giver of all good. Let us then not be like the rich fool described by our Savior. He stood and looked upon the amazing yield of his fields until his eyes (Plated in wonder and he exclaimed, “Whaf shall I do? Where shall I bestow all my fruits and all my goods?" God had emptied the cornucopia of the year upon him and he cries out with aston ishment, where are barns for this? "Ah!" says St. Ambrose, “man, thou hast barns —the mouths of the orphans, the houses of the widow.” All about us are Christ's poor. Let us seek them out. But the thought of the day is chiefly thanksgiving. We are to be “rich toward God.” And so I ought to name a fourth law and say: Fourth. That God's bounty will be great or small to us very much according to our own disposition. Industry must seek out God’s plenty, brotherhood distribute it abroad, the law of character should rightly appor tion it, but the disposition of the.«nan at last must enjoy it. There is many a millionaire whose desires can never be satisfied, and then there is many an hum ble Christian who is as happy and feels as rich as a king. So with all God’s dis pensations. Jacob said, "All these things are against me;” but Paul said, “All things work together for good for me.” It is the difference between Jacob and Paul. A thankful temper, my brethren, is the best sauce with which to eat our turkey today; a generous spirit is the best sea soning for it all. At Temple Emanuel. The Thanksgiving services at Temple Emanuel last night were unusually in teresting and were witnessed by a large congregation. The choir and orchestra rendered splendid music, and the ad dress delivered by Dr. O. P. Fitzsimons was one of the best,that has been heard in Birmingham in a long time. The pro gramme, an excellent one, was as fol lows: Anthem, "America” — Congregation, cljoir and orchestra. Prayer—Dr. W. B. Phillips. Trombone solo—Prof. F. L. Grambs, ac companied by Miss Mary L.

Thanksgiving services were conducted at St. Paul’s yesterday morning at 8 o'clock by Father Riley. The exposition of the blessed sacrament will begin this morning after the 8 o’clock mass, and wdll continue the high mass Sunday at 10:30 o'clock Considerable interest is being taken in the Catholic bazaar, which will be openefTnext month. The proceeds will be used in completing the church. School Children in Atlanta. The public schools had a holiday yes terday and about 200 of the pupils spent the day In Atlanta seeing the exposition. They went over to Atlanta the day before In company with several of the teachers and will return tomorrow night. They Rejoiced. Several hundred Birmingham people were in Atlanta yesterday to see the ex position and the football game between the Auburn and the University of Ala bama teams. They went over to pull for the Alabama boys, and their Joy at the victory of their favorites was of the en thusiastic variety. Several of them had money up on the Auburns, and it goes without saying they were happy. Several of the Birmingham contingent returned last night, and others will be in today. A Generous Act. Few people fully understand or appre ciate the loss to a live retail business house sustained by a holiday. That is to say, the direct loss In the way of ces sation of sales. Yet these holidays seem necessary and altogether proper, for they afford recreation for the employes, build up their strength and encourage W~D ing up our recent licit your visit to MORROW & Do you use Knitting Silk? _ Corticello best standard Knitting Silk on half ounce spools, 12 1-2C each. 20-inch Plaid Silks, 10 patteins, at 49c. 68-inch Bleached Satin Table Dam ask, 69c, 51 quality. 6-Hook long Waist Corsets 49c.

Take, for instance, a house like that of Bowman, Joseph & Loeb, which employes an army of male and female clerks, salesmen, dressmakers, etc. When their doors are closed for a day or even half a day no expense ceases, yet business is stopped.

At 2 o’clock the mammoth store was closed, and all hands joined in a joyous holiday.

MR. MYERSNOWAREPORTER He Introduced an Innovation in Dress That Didn’t Take Well in Birming ham. Mr. Demetrius F. Myers, who was erst while such a prominent factor in Bir mingham’s social and professional life, is now a reporter on a New York paper. While a citizen of Birmingham Mr. My ers wrote one article for the press, sat irizing the fake ‘‘charity ball,” that marked him as a genius in humorous writing. Mr. Myers will also be remem bered as having introduced the Innova tion of baby blue breeches with evening dress. This custom disappeared with Mr. Myers. The custom was so gauche that even the uncultivated social maw of Birmingham at that time could not swallow it. The custom was an offense against good taste and bordered on im morality in its violation of the canons of propriety. It found no justification in nature. The nearest approach found in nature to the appearance presented by a man in the blue legs and black body is the stork. The legs of the stork assume a blue color from standing too long in water. The only similitude is found In the supposition that a man wearing baby blue breeches is in the swim. Even the recognized social popularity Mr. My ers could not make baby blue breeches popular in Birmingham, but perhaps the field of his endeavor was too restricted and he will meet with better success in the larger field offered by the metropolis.

Railroad Bill, the negro desperado from Alabama, is in New Orleans. He was seen Saturday evening near the Louis ville and Nashville freight depot, on the levee, at the head of Girod street, by William Johnson, a man who knew him personally and is sure of his Identity. Railroad Bill, whose real name is Mor ris Slater, is wanted in Alabama on a number of charges for robbing and mur der. He is a most desperate character, having committed several atrocious crimes. He has been captured a num ber of times, but has always succeeded in making his escape. A reward of $3jt) is offered by the Louisville and Nashville railroad for his arrest, $300 by the citi zens of Brewton, Ala., $250 by the county of Escambia and $150 by the governor of Alabama, making a total of $10o0, which will be paid to the party who succeeds in capturing him. Railroad Bill has been at large sev eral months, and heretofore his where abouts have been unknown. From time to time vague rumors have been circulat ed to the effect that lie had been in first one part of the country and then another, but nothing definite was known of his movements. He is known throughout the southern country as one of the most desperate of men. His name has been familiar in portions of Louisiana, Mis sissippi, Alabama, Georgia and klortaa, where he is much feared. For months he terrorized that section of Alabama along the route of the Louisville and Nashville railroad between Mobile and_ erv where he committed the boldest and most daring of his crimes. The }w0 ®e" rlous charges against him are for the murder of K. s. Mc;vmutu, ou«.u —•— cambia county, and J. H. Stewart, a brakeman of the Louisville and Nashville railroad. The killing of the latter was at Bay Minette, Ala., where a posse, of which Stewart was a member, attempted to capture the desperado After killing Stewart he escaped to Mount Vernon, where he succeeded in eluding the poasc. who supposed him to be in hiding in a building, which they perforated with bul let holes, only to learn that the desperado hiBothCtof these murders he committed several months back, and at the time in tense excitement prevailed in the vicinity of each. He is described as being a thick set burly negro, with thick lips, a scar on his left cheek from his nose to the left ear. The thumb on one hand is missing. He generally dressed in overalls and black slouch hat, and is always well armed. Railroad Bill was seen Saturday evening by another negro, W. M. John son. a resident of Mobile, who is now In this city in the employ of the Louisville and Nashville r&ilroa<b Joh"sa" ,“ys that he positively saw Railroad Bill Sat urday evening in conversation with an other negro near the Louisville and Nashville freight depot. He was sure that It was the desperado, as he knew him, having worked here with him three years ago, and jins seen him several times since. The last time he saw him was about a month ago, and in the course of conversation Railroad Bill said that he Intended surrendering, as he knew he could prove his Innocence of the charges against him. When Johnson saw him Saturday he at once thought that he had come to New Orleans to glvo himself up. However, he did not make himself known to the desperado, as he did not wish him to know that he, too, was in New Orleans. The man whom Railroad Bill was in conversation with says he asked him how the railroad was paying theip hands, and whether jobs were easy to get with the railroad. After asking the questions he walked off. Johnson says he would have followed him had he not been at work. It is supposed that he came here In hopes of securing work with the New Orleans and Western railroad aJ Port Chalmette, where several hundred ne groes are now employed. Superintendent uaster, wnen nuinreu of the desperado's presence In the city, said that he had received a telegram sev eral months ago to arrest him on Right, but had not heard anything of his where abouts up to about three weeks ago, at which time he received information to the effect that a negro answering to his description had been seen in the city, but upon Investigation he could not be lo cated. He will, however, detail detectives today to investigate the matter at once. The detectives, it is supposed, will not be slow in the undertaking, as the reward of $1050 will be a snug little sum to receive for the work. If accomplished. Johnson, the negro who Identified the desperado, Is also trying to locate him, and If he does and the man is captured Chief Gaster has promised him half of the reward. In Good keeping Cleveland Leader. Governor McKinley says he Is willing to trust the republicans of Ohio. As we said before, his trust will not be betray ed. opean and Domes for a critical exam DRUG AND THE RACES, Now Orleans Results.

Buckwa captured the Thanksgiving handicap in a gallop. Jockey Washam, while at the post in the last race on Bob Neville, was kicked by Tommie Rutter on his leg just above the ankle. Burrell was substituted in his place. The rail birds fell heavily to the de feat of Imy Sugar in the second race. She led In the stretch, and then quit like a yellow canine.

The backers of favorites had a sad time of it, however. Not until the last race did a favorite catch the judge's eye first, and then the decision was hissed by a great number. Eclipse was the odds-on-favontte for the con cluding event and had the race won in the stretch. As Simms pulled the fa vorite up nearing the wire Maher on Phoebus came with a rush, and to many it appeared that Phoebus won by a neck. The judge's decision saved Mike Dwyer many thousands, which he had bet on Eclipse. The longest shot of the day was James McLaughlin’s Premier. He had but six ty-seven pounds up and beat Levina Ina and others. The favorites were bowled over by second and third choices.
