Oom Paul is getting a lot of free ad

The enemies of Senator Quay claim

That Italian brigand who killed the
judge who tried him, the witnesses

A Colorado Indian claims to be the
original Belgian hair-raiser of this
country. (More than twenty years ago
he met a native Belgian, owing to the
fact that the latter had been looking
the other way. Upon that occasion the
first Belgian hair was raised in Amer
ica. It Is given out by Columbus politi
cians that Lentz is setting his sails
for the 'Democratic gubernatorial nom

McLean come in? But possibly they
are going to have a playground of their
own.
Governor Nash has decided to break
the long-htadnlng custom of granting
tome prisoner of the Ohio penitentiary
a pardon on Thanksgiving, and no ons
will be so favored today. In support
of his decision the goernor says that
he has no authority whatever to grant
a pardon before a recommendation Is
ma'Jo by the board of pardons.
The Russian government has decid
ed upon 'the introduction of specially
cheap fares upon the Trans-Siberian
railway in order to encourage emigra
tion to the country. A ticket from
Russia to Tobolsk only costs 4s. Cd.

ever In Siberia tho faro is only nine
shillings. Thus the tripper can cover
about 0,000 miles for a matter of 13
(shillings.

THANKSGIVING.
Thanksgiving Is an older holiday
than ono might suppose. It was first
celebrated 'by the Egyptians, who were
a very religious race. Soon after tho
harvests iwcro gathered, 'tho hUsnand
men observed a day of feasting. It was
not altogether a day of festivities, but
also ,of religious worship. Iris, tho
Holy Mother, protected tho harvests,
and on the altar erected to her were
laid costly and precious offerings.
The Jews celebrated Thanksgiving
Day over three thousand years ago.
Their great feast was cSllcd 'the "feast
of the tabernacles," nnd continued for
eight successlvo days, v.t which all of
the people were supposed to feast and
make merry. Every hou;o had Its ser
vices and 'banquets, nnd millions of
people came to Jerusalem, where 'they
lived In booths constructed of olive,
pine and palm branches, and the ser
vices consisted of "magnificent rituals,
melodious chorus, and 'picturesque fes
tivities." It was at one of those feasts
that our Saviour was found teaching
the wise men in tho temple.
The feast of the Greeks was In honor
of Dcmeter, the goddess of tho harvest.
The fast of the Romans was In honr
of the same goddess, 'but she was
known 03 Ceres to them. They
marched In great processions to the
fields, where they engaged in sports,
such as running, wrestling and boxing.
In England the day of feasting was
called tho "Harvest Home." It was
ulso held at the close of the Ingather
ing of the harvests. On the village
green, feasts of archery, and wrestling
matches were performed, and at tho
close a great feast was given In some
large field, where an ox was generally
roasted.
Wo now come to the first Thanksgiv
ing in our own country. The Pilgrim
Fathers landed on the coast of Massa
chusetts in 1620. They 'Were without
the moans of raising crops at once as it
was nearing winter, and their supply
of provisions was. small. After ten
months of suffering, they gathered
their first harvest, which consisted of
about twenty acres of corn, and six
acres of barley and peas. They
thanked! God for this and prepared a
great feast. Water-fowl, wild turkey
and venison were brought In by hunt
ers, and Massasalt and ninety Indian
warriors were invfted. The feast was
prepared on long tables prepared for
that pui pose in a grove near the vil
lage. Tho Indians sat at a separate
ta'ble and although they did not use
the best of manners, they wore treated
very nice toy the maidens who waited
upon them. After the feast was over
the old' men and women -went to the
church for worship, while the young
men and Indians staid in the park to
engage in games and sports.
A drought came the next year, and
for ten hours the people prayed for
rain. Toward night a breeze sprang
up, bringing rain, and tho rain saved
the settlers from starvation. To com
memorate this Goernor Bradford or
dered a day of Thanksgiving to be ob
served. In 17S9 President Washington is
sued the first Thanksgiving proclama
tion ever Issued 'by a ruler. Tho last
Thursday in November was set apart
to be devoted to the service of God.
In 1793 the second proclamation made
Its apnearance. and this dav was ob
served as a general Tnanksglvlng. It
was made a National Thanksgiving by
President Lincoln by proclamation.
Thanksgiving is now looked forward
to as a day of festivities and religious
worship, 'by all the people of the Unit
ed States. Andl yet, after all, the best
Thanksgiving Is Thanksllving."

A Clever Thlet Carries Out His Work In a
Bold Manner. '
According to Wednesday evening's
Sentinel, ono of tho boldest' an'd most
successful robberies ever attempted In
Parkersburg was accomplished on
Saturday evening. Tho affair has been
kept very quiet, as detectives have
been hard at work on the case and it
was thought desirable to keep It from
the ears of the public as long as possi
ble, but tho story leaked out yesterday
evening, bringing to light a theft
which has startled 'tho authorities by
Its magnitude.
On Saturday evening a young lady
entered the storo of J. A. Wernerell &
Son, on Market street, and asked to
be shown some diamond rings. Mr.
Wet,herell waited upon tlin lady and
took from the snow case a tray of dia
mond and pearl rings. Tho lady looked
through tho tray and finally selected
ono and together she and Mr. Weth
erell stepped to tho rear of tho store to
get better light on the ring, meantime
leaving the tray on the counter. The
purchaser expressed her approval of
the ring she had selected and paid for
It. She was then shown some vases
and selected one of these asking that
It be laid aside for her. It was som"
little time before Mr. Wetherell was
at liberty and 'he forgot all about thp
tray of rings and it was not missed
when tho goods were put away for the
night.
The rings werenot missed until Mon
day. Little or no clue can be found.
There were about thirty-six rings tak
en and they were valued at between
$200 and $230.
