THANKSGIVING BY
THE CATHOLICS
1
I
New York, Nov, 19.—A ceremony of
interest to Catholics throughout ho
world will take place on the morning
of Thanksgiving Day, In Riverside
Park, where a monument will he un
veiled to the memory of Orestes Au
gustus Brownson, perhaps the most
distinguished of American Catholic
scholars and author^. A memorial
meeting was held this week, and a
number of the most distinguished
Catholic clergy and laymen of tho
country will take part In next Thurs-1
day’s exercises.
Brownson’* religious career was un
ique. Born and reared In extreme
poverty, he nevertheless succeeded ini
gaining an academic education, and
prepared himself for the Presbyterian
pulpit. Then the Liberalizing Influ
ence of the times made itself felt,
and he efitered the Universaffbt min
istry. In 1822. at he age of 29, he be
came acquainted wtih William Kllery
('banning, and under the influence of
that brilliant man was led into tho
Unitarian ministry. For six years, as
pastor of a Boston church and founder
of a periodical, he was one of the lead
ers of the religious liberals.
Ho far his life history was that of
many men of earnest, inquiring minds,
who, dlssastisflcd wtih orthodoxy, Uni
tarians or agnostics. But Brownson
turned bock. In 1841 he joined the
Homan Catholic Church, and during
the remainder of his life was the most,
effective lay propagandist of that
church In the New World. He wrote
numerous book*, which, since his
death in Detroit. April 17, 1878, have
been collected and published in nine
teen large volumes. The movement
to erect a monument to his memory
was commenced a quarter of a cen
tury ago hut It was not until the pres
ent year that the Brownson Memorial
Committee found its task nearing ac
rompliahmcn.

_
REPRESENTATIVE OF RECEIVER
HERE TO MAKE ARRANGED NTS
FOR NEXT MONTH t’ CAPS
x .
X. L. Barker of Columbus, Ohio
representing H. H. lleincr of Colum
bus. president of the Maynard Coni
company and receiver for the lug
Vein Coal company of Pocahon.as
which recently made an assignment,
was in the city today making arrange-i
ments \vi*h the Norfolk & Western
car allotment and distribution office.*
fer the car supply next month.
Mr. Barker says that the company
is miring more coal under the re
ceivership than ever before in its his
tory, and that little doubt remains
but that it will pull out and soon be
placed on a paying basis. The as
signment, as has been previously dc-j
tailed was due to a disagreement i
among the stockholders in regard to
contemplated improvements, and it isj
also stated that originally the com-]
pany Spent too much money on equip-'
inent, more it is thought tjytn the out-i
put would Justify. The question are <>
as to a choice between bankruptcy or
operation under a receivership. Know ,
irg that the ground is good and tout
it could develop at a profit, the lai
ter decision prevailed. '
Mr. Barker says that everything is |
moving along nicely, and that little)
doubt remains as to the company s
pulling out in good shape. The pres
ent excellent, market and the facili
ties to place the entire output, lie
says makes the prospect in this di
rection. exceedingly bright. Arrange
ments made with the Norfolk & Wes
tern guarantee a good car supply and
this appears to presage smooth sail
ing. The company has secured addi
tional miners and there will he a very
materia! increase of the output, nc
cording to Mr. Baker.
BUTCHERED FOR
New York, Nov. 19.—Estimates as
to the number of turkeys that will
give up their lives within the next
few days to make a Botham holiday
vary' as widely as the census returns
from St. Joe, Mo One market man
who was Interviewed on the subject!
said he really didn't know, of course,
but guessed that the drumsticks of
about a million birds would go to the
discard. Another placed the figure at
250,000 while a third Intimated that
New Yorkers would have fo struggle
along on 150,000 or so.
It is certain that many thousands
of poor people who have heretofore
had turkeys on the Thanksgiving din*
nor table will have to be content with
smaller but more delicious fowls next
Thursday. Very few of the charitable
organizations that are arranging feasts
and basket* of food for tho needy
will include turkeys on their bill
'»f fare. Philosophical folk are like
ly to reflect that the turkey Is a bum
bird and an overpraised institution,
anyway, and the shortage of the young
turk crop will cause little regret.

WHERE THE LORD FLUNG HER.
San Juan 11ilf; famous as Newj

kinds of the poorer class, especially, j
however, is famous for a little Hap- ^
tlst church whose services are as
primitive as any' ever held in the
South before the war,
A revival- lias Just, started in tho
church. The minister estimates his
eloquence by bis ability to. make the
sisters shout. A few’ evenings ago
when one sister was executing a few
steps that would make any Broadway
chorus girl green with envy, the lead
ing deacon of the church seemed un
usually Interested In the display of
hosiery and footgear which was In
evitable. Not so with another sister,
who seemed to think that a desire
to display her finery actuated her
neighbor's exuberant, spirits. 80
when the shouter swooned, she imme
diately started to arrango her skirts.
The deaeou. without removing his
gaxe simply looked stern and said:
"I^ef her stay where Uod has flung
