Some of the Thanksgiving stories served up yesterday suggests the thought that the writers indulged in the j haiiksgiving dinner on Wednesday.

Reginald Pontmercy Looks at a Photograph and Pon derc Deeply, But the Remainder of the Story Is Shrouded in Darkness. Mr. and Mrs. Hector Briedgreutn have been married just four months. They are ensconced in a neat little cot tage out near. Central Park, and seem perfectly wrapped up in eacu other. Hector is the most devoted of husbands and Lucille thinks there is hut one man in all the world. Supremely happy they have always been ever since the parson pronounced them man and wife, not even the semblance of a cloud hav ing ever darkened their porte pochtre, as they say out on the motor line. Hec tor used to be "one of the boys" bet ore he bewail to wear Luciile's photograph around on his gore pump, but he be came a different man as soon as he was endowed with a mother-in-law and never tired painting, f«ir his bacheler Friends, the delights of having a home of tine's own. "Why, boys." he would suy. "you can't imagine how soothine it is to ttie spirit to sit down in a cosy little dining room with the joy of your life opposite and to enjoy a delic ova dinner without being forced to listen to the aimless chatter of a score of other people in Whom one is not a bit interested. Then it gives a man a certain feeling of strength an. l pride and elevation of spirit to preside at ore's own table. No, sir-ec! No more boarding house and single cusst'diu'ss for me," and the boys would smile. Just a weeK Iwfore Thanksgiving Hector invited four of his friends to dine with him on ttiat day of uood cheer, remarking that he'd "show them what it is to have a home of one's own." Thanksgiving d y came and with ii the dinner. The four friends aud Mr. and Mrs. Briedgreum sat down at the appointed hour and toyed with the preliminaries until Hector, with a llusn of satisfaction nmrlile mantling his brow, commanded that the turkey be produced. It came. Right here let it Ur explained that Hector had never before tackled a turkey. He could uisfcvc i a harmless sirloin of beef or a good-natured leg of mutton, but a healthy adult turkey, who had been an athlete in his day, clothed in warm brown gravy and a disposition to en aie mischief, was to him an unexplored Held. But be brandished the carver, smiled with a superior air and began. "Boys, you outcht to mt married," said he, as he made a vicious punch at the off hind leg of the erstwhile barn yard's pride. "And by all means learn to carve as 1—" and he stopped to re move a tevelet of gravy from his shirt front. The turkey lay on his side, ap parently ginning at Mr. BrUdirreum. But Hector returned to the charge and soon hid his turklets on his back. Hector wresile.l vigorously, but the turkey "»iidged." honors were even. The turkey was playing a waiting game. As Hector had said to the boys, it gave him a feeling of strength to preside at his own table. and his strength was now up. The tur key hadn't worke I as an excavator for four long years without getting up some muscle. The light began attain. Hec tor's pride was now aroused, and he was also experiencing that elevation ot spirit of which he had spoken at the of fice. His spirit became so hiirh that his shirt collar became scared. But he se cured a half-Nelson on Mr. Turkey and away they both went across the table. But the turkey slipped the. hold and they both parried for wind. Then Hec tor attempted different tactics. Ho seemed to feel his way. But it didn't work. Flirt's didn't work, and when ever he made a rush thy turkey wasn't there. 'Twas a long and bard-fou^bt battle, and resulted in Lonesome Law son, the cross-country tourist, eating so much turkey that lie had to eat gravel in lieu of pepsin. '•Lucille," murmured Hector Brled greuin in low, base tones, as he sat by his own hearthstone that night, "lhere is one thing for which 1 am truly thank ful on this blessed day." "What is it. dear," replied Lucille, sympathetically, as she bathed Hector's dislocated shoulder. "That we had but one turkey." * ♦ While the members of the Briedsreum household were recovering from the ef fects of the tierce engagement, there came stealing to them on the gentle waves of the circumambient air, sounds of revelry from the adjoining house, where dwelt Oscar Oldtheimer, Sr. The Oldtheimers seemed to be enter taining a Thanksgiving party, and. judging from the sounds of merriment proceeding thence, the entertainment seemed to be a success. Mark the con trast between the two adjoining homes. In one was pain and suffering, in the other naught but pleasure. The reason may be clear when it is stated that a few days previous Oldtheimer had been heard to say to a friend, "George, a lit tle party of us are going down to the West lo'dinucr on 'llnirsday. Be one of us." It was the afternoon of Thanksgiving day. The mantle of night was being drawn over the world, shutting out the gray, somber light of November. Regi nald Pont mercy sat before the hre which glowed in the grate of his cosy little parlor. It mattered not that those glowing embers and that lightly leaping iiluc flame, was produced by an ingen ious combination of gas and asbestos; me ciiai in which hovers about a grata lire on a chilly clay was there. All about the room were scattered evidences of wealth and a cultivated taste. Nay more, the owner and occupant of that room was shown to be a lover of art. Glorious paintings, delicate etchings, engravings, the products of a master hand, covered the walls. A small easel, some halt-finished studies in black and white, one or two beautiful bits of nature in water colors. a few photographs of the quaint and curious, and, intone corner, a Kodak, told only too plainly that the master of all this luxury WrtS an amateur artist, a man who loved art for art's sake. Now he was sitting pensively before the fire, gazing abstractedlyj inio the ruddy glow that, reflected back, threw a son light upon Ins finely molded features and glinted along the wavy hair, show ing here and there a thread of silver, for Reginald Ponttnercy was no longer a youth. Suddenly his eye caught a faded photograph which rested on the mantel. He look it down and gazed loug and thoughtfully upon its outlines, some partially obliterated. Tne picture was that of a handsome boy of nineteen, and a radiantly beauti ful maiden, for not all the power of nature's alchemist, the sunlight, could drive from that faded photograph the delicate lines of youthful beauty. The features of the boy could be traced in the older face that now bent over the picture. Of what was Reginald Pout mercy thinking? Who can say? Plainly, the pair in the picture were lovers. The pose, the intertwining arms, the ab stracted look upon the faces, still visi ble, proclaimed it. Underneath* was written, "Thanksgiving— lß7o." That was all. But was it not enough? After seeing that one line, the attitude of the portraitured lovers, the subdued, almost thoughtful interest with which Reg inald Pontmercy gazed upon it, the tenderness with which he handled it, who could doubt that this man of forty Th?S SAINT PAUL DAILY GLOBE: TO I PAY MORNING NOVEMBER 28, J«X). one was living over again the da/ 1 dream of his youth, that radiant period w.*'- 1 "' he seemed to tread upon air? His face* bent toward the . faded picture Was that a tear or the light of the slender flames glistening in his eye? What thoughts then flitted through his brain? Did not his face betray them? Thoughts of those bright days when ho looked ilium a that fair maid in the picture as some one above the a in?"!*; win* ories of that ideal period of his exist ence, fraught with sorrow and longing, perhaps, but yet deal to him, wh«u she, to whom he had given the warm, strong love of his youth, had promised to bo his wife; keen recollections of how she had jilted him and trampled upon his bleeding heart, stood out upon his cxprcssivo face ! Could he foraret that memorable. Thanksgiving of twenty years aco, when the whole world looked bright be fore him? A face like his refuted the thought that be could ever blot from memory's page the record ot that bliss ful time. Ho bends still closer over that remnant of his former life, his atti tude becomes more rapt — A rustle of soft skirts breaks the growing silence, and a woman's voice conies from an inner room. '•Come, Reginald, it's time to dress for tht opera. What are you moping over there?" ■slowly he draws himself up and speaks: "1 was just thinking how the art of photography has advanced.

To the Editor of the Globe. I see in your Monday morning's Globe that our enterprising Univcrsal ist brethren, under the lead of Rev. W. S. Vail, have taken in hand the small task of "abolishing hell!" This "Lit tle Benjamin," amonir the tribes, has pluck. If they have not had a very prosperous career or done so much for this world, as some of their more pros perous brethren, they have been very much interested in the inhabitants of the "other world." There are no small hells to abolish in this world, and it seems to me, that if they could ex tinguish the suffering in this world, it ■r.ould be work nearer home, and of greater utility to mankind. But this may be only a part of the scheme— between our Catholic brethren and Universalist's. to co-operate, in "liberating," all the departed that are detained in "Tartarus" and "Purga tory." Now that Pope Leo Xlll. did. oi! Sun day. Sept. 80, 1«88, between the hours of 9 and 10 a. m., during his jubilee, acting as God's vieeregent, liberate all the souls that had been "detained in puira tory." (a place not mentioned by prophet or apostle.) and if Mr. Vail's plan of depopulating sheol, hades, ire henna, translated hell, if this proves as successful as some think Pope Leo's scheme has.then it would be well for all the unhappy ones of earth to hasten thither, and be at rest. Possibly I may be too "superstitious" to fall in with this plan at once, but will certainly believe in it more if Brother Vail will put out some "hells" nearer than "gehenna," anu prevent the deep sufferings about his own door, in this world. Tliese schemes, if a success, would widen the souks of the redeemed in heaven, Horn "one" to "three." When "the ltevelator" heard the redeemed singing before the throne, this was their song: "YVorthy is the Lamb, for Thou wast slain, and hast redeemed us to God out of every kindred, and tongue, and people, and nation, and made us kings, and priests, etc." (Rev. v., iMo.) Those who have beon saved "by the blood of the Lamb." will sing their song to His praise! And those who received no Help, no deliverance, save from "Pope Leo Xlll.," will sing of His praise! And if that enterprising St. Paul divine shall succeed in "abolishing hell," ami send the inhabitants supposen to be destined tor that place after the judgment day, it will compel endless gratitude, even from the "devil and his angels." For if there is no "hell" there can be place for the "devil and his angels;" but the abode of the blessed before the throne of God. All this follows as a natural conse quence, if this plan of Mr. Tail's can oe carried out. Should this plan of his miscarry, why it will be only a loss to those who are, as the Scriptures tell us, who are "lost." But, bad enough! By the way, we learn from this great undertaker of this plan, that the idea of hell '-was born in a dark and superstitious age." etc. What a mercy "that a greater" than Moses, Samuel, Elijah, David, and a wiser than Solomon is here, and Isaiah, and Daniel and all the prophets that have spoken in the name of the Lord may all retire into oblivion since W. S. Vail has spoken!! And he that spake "as never man spake," whom we adore as "our Lord and Saviour," who claimed to be "The Way, The Truth, and The Life:" was too "ignorant and suuersti tious" for this "liberal age." What a misfortune that this man Vail had not been called to "the front" earlier in the history of the race, he could have writ ten a Bible that would have suited all classes in all ages, no doubt of It! Those prophets and apostles who wrote "The Book" under tne guidance of the Holy Spirit couid not reveal the will of their God unless they spoke of some ugly things about our great fami ly, and spoke ol sin and crime, of good and bad, God and satau, heaven and hell, etc. Some more competent pen ('?), as we hear of in the neighboring city, might have written a book and not found use for that ugly word "sheol"— which occurs sixty-five times in the old Hebrew manuscriut — and rendered "pit" three times, "grave" thirty-one times and "hell" thirty-one times. This old Hebrew bible has some things good for the good man and bad for the wicked man, thus: "Say ye, to the righteous man it shall be "well for him; woe to the wicked man, it shall be ill with him," for "upon the wicked 11» shall rain snares, lire and brimstone and a horrible tempest; this shall be the portion of their cup." How about this: -'The wicked shall be turned into hell (sheol), and all the nations that for get God." Will Mr. V try his scholarship on this passage, and see if he can make sense out, of it: if this means. "There is no hell?" But it is an "ugly word;" but suppose you go through your Hebrew bible and blot out all these words, what will be left but so many passa.es, to which there can bo no sense attached? And then it only remains to cast away the "old book" as senseless. So of the New Tt-stament. Our Lord Jesus Christ's teachings, and his apostles instructed by Him, wrote the New Testament. There is a confirma tion of the Old Testament's all through it. As He taught this, "lie that be lieveth and is baptized shall be saved, and he that believeth not shall be con demned." Eleven times in the New Testament have we the words gehenna repeated and properly translated "hell" and declared to be the abode of the finally impenitent, "the devil and his ange!s."after the judgment of the great day. Then will be set the unchange able "seal:" "He that is unjust, let him be unjust still; and he that is filthy let him be filthy still; and he that is righteous let him be righteous still; and he that is holy let him be holy still."— Rev. xxii, xi. Harken? "If any man shall add unto these things, God shall add unto him the plagues that an; written in this book, and if any man shall take away the words of the book of this prohecy, God shall take away his part of the book of lire, and out o*f the holy city and from the things that are writteu in this book."— Rev. xxii. xvii-xviv.

Even the Workhouse Prison ers Allowed to Enjoy the Day. The Business Men's Union Out to Raise That Million Dollars. The observance of Thanksgiving this yew did not deviate from the usual way in which the day is celebrated. The business portion of the city was as quiet as on Sunday almost, only that the resorts of "good cheer" which are to a greater or Jess decree closed on the first day of the week were open. Tin; hotels, restaurants and all places at which refreshments are served set op menus that included about everything in an edible way that was in season. There were, of course, the usual family gath erings, dinner parties almost with out limit. In the evening there were a largo number of dances and other social festivities. The churches all had largo congregations. There were not so many union meetings this year, but on the whole the religious observance of the day was never so general perhaps. At many of the churches collections were taken up lor the associated charities. The. F.piscopal churches united in a general service at St. Paul's, and con trary to their usual custom. The ser mon was preached by Rev. J. .1. Faude, of Gethsemane church, who considered the social and spiritual sides of Thanks givintr day. There was no special service of song. The lioeral churches united at the Church of the Redeemer. Rev. M. 1). Shutter presided, and Rev. August Dahlsrre.n, of the Swedish Uni versaiist society, read the hymn 'My Country, 'Tis of Thee." Rev. S. W. Sample, of All Saints' church, de livered the sermon, whose main thought was that independence of man is a farce and delusion, and that thanks should be given to God for prosperity. High mass was celebrated at all the Catholic churches, and at the Immaculate Con ception church Key. Father McCarren preached a i hansgiving sermon. Union services were held in Last Minneapolis by the Methodists, at the First M. E. church. The congregations of the West minster Presbyterian, First Baptist, Centenary M. EL Heuiiepin M. B, churches met in union service at Ply mouth church. The sermon was deliv ered by Rev. Dr. Way la ud Iloyt, of the First Baptist church. The Bethlehem Presbi tt- rian. Lake street M. EL, Lyn dale and Fifth a\enue Congregational churches of the Eighth ward joined j Simpson M. E. church in serviee,eornei Fust avenue south and Twenty-eights street. Key. i). S. McCasiiu, of Bethle hem, delivered tlie sermon. In New Boston there was union service at Sniloh Presbyterian church. There were also a number of churches that held individual service, wlnle the Scandinavian churches all had large congregations at the Central Baptist church. A Sunday school celebration was held in the afternoon. The sermons for the most part wore of a secular nature, many of tne pus tors touching upon political, religious and educational questions of the day. They for the most part were in accordance with the spirit of I the day. On« exception, perhaps, wui j tnat of Rev. Wayiand lloyt's, at I Plymouth church, lie jumped on Sun day newspapers as "the withermist moral bliglit ivhich stands for defiance ot divine law." lie dipped into politics, and demanded that the patrol limits should not be extended, and wound up with a lecture upon brotherly love as applied to the warfare between Minne apolis and St. Paul. The sermon was a lively one, and the vast audience he ad dressed was vastly entertained. AT THE WORKHOUSE. How the City's Prisoners Spent Thanksgiving Day. Thanksgiving was a jolly day at the workhouse. Good things to eat, good things to hear, liberty to do as they pleased, was theirs. All day long they had the liberty of the eorridottu There was no restraint whatever. Turkey and cran berry sauce, with champagne to wash it down, they did not get, but what they doubtless enjoyed as mueli was theirs. The best of roast, beer, and all that goes with it. in the composition of a splendid dinner they did receive. In the evening there was an entertainment for the prison ers, at which many outsiders were present. Supt, West was chairman and impressario. Rev. William Wilkinson made an address appropriate for the day. and just the right length, after which "My Country 'tis of Thee" was suiiir by the audience. A violin solo by "Ole Bull," a prisoner, followed, and then Miss Mary West recited "The Legend of the Bruges." Then came a sonsr by a quartette, a song with banjo accompaniament, "Mrs. Green's Moth er." tiy Mr. Ogden; "Mother's Songs," by Henry Chester; "Mary, the Maid of the Inn," a recitation by Mr. Henry, another violin solo by "Ole Bull," a piano solo by Miss Samiberg, a song, "The Little Hero," by Mr. Law, and a harmonica solo by Mr. Hall, the pro gramme end.ng with the singing of "Home, Sweet Home.'' it was a Thanksgiving long to be' remembered. AT THK THEATERS. All Places of Amusement Get Large Thanksgiving Audiences. At the Grand opera house a most pleasing novelty was presented last night by the HeCaull Opera company to an audience that packed the above place of amusement at a dollar per pack al most to suffocation. One. of itfillocker^s latest operas, "The Seven Suabians," received its first production in Minne apolis last evening. The cast last even ing brought forth Chauncy Olcot as Otuiar. His voice. although lacking the sympathetic, liquid quality, is, never theless, an exceptional voice, and there is no tenor on the comic opera stage to-day who is more painstaking or pleas insr an actor and singer. Miss Liiy Post sang Katia. Her voice is an unus ually good one, and her smgihg par takes of the dramatic and grand opera style to a degree rarely found on the comic opera stage, fcjhe is an artist of great value. Miss Annie Mjcrs made a charminglHanncle. singing and acting delightfully. Her voice is a most pleas ing and satisfactory one, and she acts with a dash that is exhilarating. Her first aria, "I Dreanit the Devil Came," a-clever bit of writing by the bye, was one of the brighteit numbers "of the evening, and the melodious card duet with Spntzle was also most cleverly giv en. William Blaisdell made a good Spatzle. W. F. Rochestrsi a satisfactory liombastus, and Harry Rattenbury and Josephine Knapp both did well. The chorus sang admirably, and the orches tra gave good support. Yon Suppe's tuneful opera, "Clover," 1 ' was sung In the afternoon to an audi ence nearly as large as that in the even ing, and will be spoken of atsome length later. The big audience laughed and applauded for nearly two hours and a half and went away voting the McCaull company the best light opera organiza tiou that has visited Minneapolis in many a day. "The Seven Suabiana" will be repeated the balance of the week except baturday evening, when "Clover" will again be given. The lat ter beautiful composition of Yon Suppe's will be given a more extended notice in unlay morning's GLOBR. . J lie Lutteman Swedish Sextette from Stockholm, gave two concerts :at the Lyceum theater yesterday, a matinee and evening performance both of which ' were well attended. The Sextette com posed of C, Fow hoi in and E. Briekson, first tenors; 0. Smith, second tenor; C. Schilj, second tenor; N. Lowcnmorb and S. Kinlundh, second bassos, is one of the finest organizations of this kind that ever visited the city. The blend ing of voices is superior to any of the college glee clubs, and the music sung from its unfamiliaiity more novel and pleasing. The audiences were delighted with 11m programme, and the applause was hearty and prolonged after many of the numbers. To vary tho programme the organization carries ' a humorist, Mr. Edward P. Elliott, whose contri butions to the programme were well re ceived. Mr. Elliott tells Mark Twain stories and tells them well. J. C. Stewart's Comedy company gave two performances of "The Two Johns" at the Bijou yesterday. The audience in the afternoon comfortably tilled the theater, and in the evening hundieds or people were turned away. - Considerable interest* is being awak ened among local theater-goers in the engagement of the popular young actor. A. S. V, nod. which begins Sunday even ing for one week, in his new play, "Out 111 the Streets.

Wednesday night he discoursed on "Priciplcs of inter national intercourse." il« paid special attention to the rights on riverways. By an agreement between different : nations, all great rivers are now open to the trade of the world, the St. Law rence, Amazon, Rhine, Rhone.- and Danube being cited, and national ships are now considered inde pendent affairs in foreign Dorts. The boundaries of states are now largely based 011 natural frontiers like rivers anil mountain chains— the geographical designation of national habitants. Set tlements depend largely on physical peculiarities, and these divisions form homes for great peoples, ;: Europe .is cut up by small mountains and streams, necessarily limiting population, while the Mississippi valley, with its vast ter ritory, is the grandest region given by God to what is destined to be the great est people on earth. Civilized men have felt that it was best to control riv ers lying within their borders, and they will not sit idly by to see a race of sav ages occupy great ranges of available territory. 1 To-night Prof. McLean will deliver the sixth lecture in the course at the same place on "English Litera ture."

Gale, chairman of the body, has prevented steps being taken before now, but the l J st.-s are in readiness and members of I the union have practically agreed to contribute enough at the start, which will make up at least 5400,000 of the proposed sum.

NEW YORK, Nov. 2?.— lt is quite evi dent that the Gould-Sage party, which went into power in Union Pacific affairs, did not enjoy the farewell address of Charles Francis Adams. Mr. Sage was seen last night after his return from Boston, and said: "The meeting at Boston look just the form that was planned for it. The directors were unanimous in their ac tions, and expressed the fullest approval •if the plans proposed for securing har mony between the various great rail road lines in the West. These plans were made tiie chief order of business after the change in the management had been brought about. The accom plishment of this purpose will now be the settled policy of the road. It is true as has been said thatthe call for a meet ing of the presidents of the transconti nental lines awaited only the action of this meeting. That cull will now be issued, and the meeting will be held, 1 suppose, next week." "What did you think or the attitude taken by Mr. Adams in retiring from the board?" was asked. "The tenor of Mr. Adams' address was almost uncalled for," responded Mr. Sage. "There had been no public criticism of his management made by any of the directors, notwithstanding the fact that he was running the road to ruin. A change in the management was simply a necessity to save the prop erty, and Mr. Adams' speech was a piece of spite woik. I did not hear it myself, as 1 was not then a member of the board, but some of those who had been his own directors, denounced it as a most unhandsome thing, and were distrusted at the display Mr. Adams made of himself. One of them said to me: *lt is a shameful fact that Mr. Adams has been trying to run this great property by means of a lot or women typewriters, and a dozen or so Harvard graduates who knew no mare about railroads than a backwoods man. The new members of the board were a necessity to save the road from a ruin that must have come within a year. Mr. Adams says in his address that he has been president of tin; road Tor seven years, and that during that time the ac tions of the board of directors nave been in every ease unanimous. That is pimply saying that Mr. Adams hai been the Union Pacific and is responsible tor its condition. In that case he should just explain how it comes that the pay roll was increased by 4,(Xhi names in nine months; wiiat personal interest he had in the Kansas Smelting works, in favor of which a discrimination was made in the rates for shipping bullion, and a -half-dozen otuer matters that m ght be inquired into. We are not taking hold or the Union Pacific for tie fun of the tiling. lam in it, not for pleasure or financial profit, but to help to save the property. The condition of affairs was sui-h that we had to taKe hold. Now all the directors are in sym pathy with the pians laid down by Air. Gould.'' "What does Mr. Adams mean by his frequent reference to the political con nections of the Union Pacii.c?' 5 "That was another piece of spite work. Mr. Adams saw that ho could not maintain the system and he dues not seem to want anybody else to. That is the oniy construction I can put upon the several passages of this address that relates to the political aspect of the risrhts and relations of the Union Pa cific system." When toki of the report that the party had taken three private detectives with them to Boston, Mr. Sage avowed em phatically that there was not a word of troth in it. S. 11. H. Clark, vice presi dent and manager of the Missouri Pa cific road, said last night that he had been summoned from St. Louis by Mr. Gould, but could not say whether or not tne management of the Union Pacific system was to lie offered to him. COIiLIS IS DUMB, Mr. Hiuitingtott Professes Ignor- aiice oi Railway Matters. New York, Nov. 27.— Collis P. Hunt ington was at his office yesterday after a six weeks' absence in California. He was so busy thai he was unable to spare the time for a discussion of railroad matters. He expressed his sympathy with any measures that might result in an improvement in railroad rates, and added: "The people among whom 1 have been for a few weeks are exceedingly happy and contented. lam told that Califor nia has received $30.uu0,000 from its green fruit trade this season, and 1 know that the failure of the fruit crops at the East has been a bonanza to the Pacific coast. When any one suggests anything about railroad subjects, I can only say that I have been away so long that I know nothing about them."' On Account of Bedell. Ni:\v York, Nov. 27.— The Bank of the State ot New York is suing the Na tional Broadway bank to recover $$>,940, the amount paid by the complainant upon the document to which James E. Bedell applied forged indorsements. The defendants have been granted per mission to put in an answer. LOCAL MENTION. Round Trip Kates to the South Are now in effect via the Wisconsin Central.
