THANKSGIVING DAY IN THE CHURCEES—PUBLIC SSTITUTIONS WHERE TURKEYS AND MIXCE Pres WILL PE DEVOURED IN GRATEFUL SPIRIT. Many people will follow the old custom of attending church service before sitting down to their Thanksgiving daydinner. In this city the churches of all denominations are gen- erally open for at least one service during the day. This year, for the first time, the Catholic chureh recognizes the religious character of the day, and im all the churches special prayers will be offered appropriate to the occasion. ‘The opportunity offered by a serviceheld on a regular day is embraced by many ministers to levote their discourse ton discussion of secu- jar subjects. The sermons are apt to be largely political, but topies of social interest nd the various reforms are dwelt upon. A asing part of the services in many churches are the offerings made for the poor, consisting not only of money, but of vegetables, provi- sions, articles of clothing. &c. IN THE CHURCHES.

AT THE WoRKHOvsE, Toacertain class of the community Thanksgiv- ing day is one of the few days of the year looked forward to with any pleasure. This comprises those who spend most of their time in durance vile. Many of these unfortunates seldom have ore than a week or two of freedom at any one time. so that a holiday in limbo is a genuine treat to th ‘They look forward to it asa schoolboy looks for his Christmas holiday or his summer vacation. It is a day to them when the Potomac herring and corn bread are not seen and when turkey and mince pies are plen- tiful. Superintendant Stoutenburg, of the Washington Asylum and workhouse, and Mrs, Stoutenburg, the matron, have spared no pains in their preparations to make to-morrow a memorable day at those institutions. The p sons under their care are not ordinarily crim- inals, but are unfortunates, who through drink or bad Inek or probably for breaking some muni- cipal ordinance have been compelled to spend a portion of their life in one of the institutions named. They will have a general holiday to- morrow. Beyond the necessary domestic work uo labor will be performed. There will be an unusually good dinner at noon, and for the first time in the history of the institution mince jie Will be served. The ladies of the Sixth byterian church have each Thanksgiving day for a number of years visited the alms- house and distributed flowers to the aged per- sons in that building. They will probably re- peat their visits to-morrow. IN Jal. At the jail the custom is different. In that institution most of the inmates are criminals. Many of them have been convicted of various crimes, and some are awaiting their death sen- tence. They are not permitted so many liber- ties as the prisoners in the workhouse. To- morrow they will be served with the usual prison fare. but the prison rules will be sus- pended so that turkey dinners sent to any pris. | ouers by their friends will be given them. and | they will be permitted to receive visits. Many of the prisoners receive dinners or baskets of fruits and dainties from their friends. They usually get more than they want for themselves aud they divide with their neighbors. so that on Thanksgiving day most of the prisoners get a bite of turkey ox something besties the usnal prison dinner. THE REFORM SCHOOL. At the reform school an old-fashioned Thanksgiving dinner will be served, and the holiday will be generally observed by the boys. Turkey, mince-pie, and other delicacies will be furnished in abundance. It will be a general holiday for the boys and they will be permitted to play games and pass away the day as they please after the domestic work is done. Dinner will be served at noon, ‘THE CHILDREN IN THE VARIOUS ORPHAN ASYLUMS have generally had a special cause for thanks- giving, as the day has been distinguished here- tofore by an eiaborate dinner. Turkey, of course, but the ice cream and oranges and can- dies were the im it features of the ban- juet that made the day remembered «mong them. This year the children will not enjoy their usual afundant feast on account of the death of W. W. Corcoran. As is well known he was acéustomed to provide the essentials of a dinner on such occasions for the orphans in the various asylums throughout the city. He left in his will a sum of money to several of the asylums, but the income is not yet avail- able under the provisions of the will. What the orphans most desire, those old enough to flect on the subject, is that some philanthro- Prt should take the place of Mr. Corcoran. owever, to-morrow they will enjoy an extra edinner. The children of St. Joseph's asylum will give « pound party to-morrow, and it is probable that their friends will generously re- member them. > — Tax Record Lowzrep.—The B. and O.

A German named Schneider, a witness in the trial of dynamiter Hronek, at. Chicago, yester- day, caused a sensation in court by declaring that President Cleveland had a narrow escape when on his visit to Chicago, At that time Hronek had a bomb ready to throw at the pres idential carriage, but was dissuaded by Schnei- der and Nikeland. Hronek’s plans were to kill Bonfield first, but on talking it over with Capek decided to put an end to Judge Grinnell first. He said that if no better opportunity offered he would go into the court-room and throw a bomb atthe judge. Then if the police tried to ca ture him he would use a bomb on the man. +7 it failed, he had a revolver, and would shoot the officers and then himself. If he gota chance at Grinnell or Gary on the street he would use a knife. bd cheorerostetaen American Dia 5 From the N. ¥. Graphic. Altogether about 100 American diamonds have been found. The most recent discovery was in the summer of 1886, when a diamond was found in the spring on the Alfred Bright farm in Dysortville, McDowell county, N. C. While a boy was drawing a bucket of water his attention was attracted by the brightness of the stone. It was sent to Tiffeny & Co.'s, where it was tested and proved w be a di | mond, The stone was a distorted hexoctahed- ron with partial twinning; its length was ten millimeters and its width seven millimeters, | It was quite perfect and transparent, but had a | grayish yellow tint. |. This stone being more than an average find, George H. Kunz thought it would be of interest to visit the locality, and while there he fully au- thenticated all the facts of the findings. No trace of garnet, periodotite or any of the associations of the diamond were found near the spot. The sediment at the bed of the spring was taken out | and carefully examined, as were aiso the small | hollows on the adjacent hillside. This diamond must, therefore, have been transported in decom- posing soil from distant higher ground in the | vieinity during a heavy freshet. Its Value as a gem, not counting any value its American origin may attach to it, would be from #100 to $150. A number of smail stones, exhibited as dia- | monds, have been found at Bracketistown, near by. They are identical with the supposed fi diamonds found by Capt. J. C. Mills in | | mine at Brindletown — that is, transparent zicron or smoky colored quartz, the former of | which has a luster that is readily mistaken for the diamond by inexperienced persons. A number of pieces of rough diamond, exhib- j ited a8 from the same region, are of South | African and not North Carolina origin. | A stone weighing three and one-half ounces | and said to be » diamond, which was found by J.S. Keyser in digging for coal near Ponks, Neb., proved not to be such, although the ex- citement it caused was certainly genuine. ‘eo The Aged Youth. From the Detroit Jourual. “I want to go and hear Josef Hoffman play the piano, papa,” said a Detroit boy in New York recently. “But you can't, Charlie,” responded the father; “he’s not appearing in public now.” “Why not, papa?” | “The society for the protection of children | has declared that the boy's health is in dan- ger.” “Papa, why doesn’t that society do some- thing for Thomas Harrison, the boy preacher? He’s appearing in public right along.” “My son, the Harrison boy contracted that habit thirty years ago, before tie protection society was organized, and his case is hope- less,” Reason to From the Boston Courier. It was a revival meeting and the brothers and sisters were relating their experience. Among them a lady got up; said she: “Brothers and sisters, I have great reason to be thankful.” “Amen, sister!”, was the response from a dozen of voices, “Yes,” she continued, “‘no one has more to be thankful.” “Hallelujah!” chorussed the brothers and sisters, “Yes, my husband's a base-ball umpire and the base-ball season's over.” Then there was a cold and icy silence which lasted until a brother with a rare presence of mind started a souls-tirring hytan. Has Everything Charged. From the Detroit Journal. “Mrs. Almont, are you taking any interest in the discussion, ‘Is marriage a failure? ” “Yes, indeed, and I have decided opinions in the matter, too.” Pro or con?” ell, I would hardly like to go ths thongh I am a firm believer in marriage. ‘Has it been so much of a blessing in your case? Has it! Why, before marriage I actually suffered for she necessaries of life—never hav- ing a penny unless I asked papa for it.” And now?” Now if Isee anything I want I buy it and have it charged.” “But isn’t your husband something of an in- cumbrance?" “Not so much as before our marriage. Then he was hanging around me constantly, swear- ig his undying love and all that sort of thin Now I rarely see him, except ut table, and | stead of swearing about his love, he swears | cause of the weak coffee and overdone steak. | Indeed. marriage has done much for me.” : pons 2 | A Curious Story From Berlin. From the London World. A curious story comes from Berlin, of the truth of which, I believe, there is little doubt, with regard to the much-vexed question of the | Battenburg marriage.

The balance of power must be wrested from the slums. Refused at the Altar. From the New York Evening Sun. The church was thronged with people, White flowers decked the altar-rail, and wait- ing behind them, arrayed in immaculate robes, stood the bishop, who was to weld in one the two fond hearts that up to that hour had beat in unison, Up in the organ-loft sat the organist, his fingers wandering idly over the keys, his face turned from the instrument and fixed on the bishop, who was to give him the signal for the “wedding march.” In the robing-room stood the groom and the best man, arrayed in evening dress, likewise awaiting the opening strains of | the “wedding march,” which were to announce the arrival of the bride. Suddenly the doors at the rear opened wide, and there stands Mar- jovie, the beautiful daughter of the house of Smithers, soon to essume the head of the fam- ily of Higgins, jr. he bishop drops his hand- kerchief. ‘The organist strikes the opening chord of the march.
