The graduating class of St. Mary's Col- lege gave an entertainment last evening in the college hall in honor of Thanks- giving day. Many friends of the members were present and were entertained by a programme of unusual interest. It consist- ed of musical, elocutionary and oratorical selections. John P. Callaghan was the poet of the 8ay and J. P. Plover was th orator. The hall decorations were elab- orate. Festoons of flowers and greens were draped about artistically among the folds of natiomal colors, which covered the balconies and stage. Large American flags were hung at intervals. The pro- gramme was as follows: Music, college orchestra; address by Arza Porter; violin _solo, A. P. Miller; extra “Love of Country,” W. Bohan; quartet; reci- tation, ““Pride of Battery B,’ A. Crimmins; vecal ‘solo, ‘‘Four-ie R. §. McCar recitation, : yocal quart; J. P.

The duty of religious tha { ing is constantly urged by the upon her children. and we, as and Americans, have many reasor grateful.” ROBERTS ASKS FOR MORE MEN Situation in South Africa Far From Batisfactory to English. i e Nov. 28.—While the reports of f Cape Colony are regard- hat unnecessarily alarmist, le disposition to take a too w of the general situation.

EDENBURGH, Orange River Colony, Saturday, Nov. 24.—The Boers are most active between the raflroad and Basuto- land, south of Ladybrand, Thaba N'Chur and Bloemfontein.

BRISTOL, R. I, Nov. 28.—Inférmationas to the new cup defender’'s hull was given to-day at the Herreshoff shops. The keel will not be laid for some weeks to come. The date will conform to the completion of the stiffening procees of the hull of the seventy-footer Rainbow in the south shop. There is yet so much work to be finished on this big sloop®that it will take about four weeks to put her in shape for launch- ing. By that time the keel for the new defender will be ready on the floor of the shop. The running of the lead keel will come two days later, or on or about Thursday, December 2i. The working plans for the new craft are being printed. As regards the sails, that are now well begun, it has been thought that the grade ¥ roduction of South Carolina, but from the appearance of ravelings of the canvas the head sails of the boat are sim- ilar to the mercerized Texas upland cotton ueed in the make\(? of the head sails ot the Columbla in 1899, While there is some evidence to indicate that the new defender will carry a larger amount of canvas than the Columbia, it is believed that the area of the sails now being made will not be much greater. Another important project is the adop- tion of all steel spars, with the exception of the bowsprit and spinnaker pole o introduction of a steel topmast would be 2 novel feature, especially if that spar is to be of the telescopic variety. The oak frames for the keel mold were shaped out three weeks ago, but are not yet quite finished. o e REBEKAHS WILL HONOR A BLOOMFIELD BRIDE PENNGROVE Nov, 28.—One of the moet interesting marriages ever sol- emnized in Sonoma County will take place in the lodge room of the Blogmfield Re- bekahs at Bloomfleld on Thanksgiving evening. Miss Laura Cockrill, eldest | daughter of Dr. Bruce T. Cockrill, will become the wife of T. J. McCready of Bodega. Back of this prospective marriage is a romantic tale. At the time the BloomSfeld kahs formally dedicated their new lodge rooms, two months ago, they agreed that the first one of their members to get married should be tendered an elaborate wedding supper by the lodge. On Thurs- day evening the Bloomfield Rebekahs will be called upon to pay their debt, Miss Cockrill, who belongs to one of the best connected families in the county, is a first cousin of Miss Minnie Coulter, Sono- ma County’s Superintendent of Schools. A feature of the nuptials will be the pres- ence of the entire lodge in full regalia. ARRANGEMENTS FOR DAVIS FUNERAL i Body Will Lie in State in the Capitol Building, ——e— ST. PAUL, Minn.,, Noy. 28.—The mortal remains of the late United States Senator Cushman K. Davis have rested to-day in | an upper room in the Davis home on Far- | rington avenue, in this city. The entire city mourned and from all quarters of thé globe have come a stream of messages of sympathy and love for the stricken home | and the bereaved, city and State. Presi- dent McKinley was one of the first to | tender his tribute of honor and love and | from diplomats and high officials of this and other countries, Senatorial colleagues, Representatives in Congress, from church | dignitaries and leading merchants and men ,of business have come simple and | sincere expressions of respect for the abil- | | ities and leadership of the orator whose | | eloquence is stilled, the statesman whose | counsels will no longer be heard. Among those who sent messages were | Serators_Frye, Spooner, Foraker, Lodge, | Hanna, Fairbanks, Kyle, Gailinger, Mc- | Millan, McCumber, Lindsay and Allison; | | Angrew D. Carnegie, Secretary Root, Mrs Julla D. Grant and Mrs. Sartoris, ex-Sen- ator Vilas, General Alger, Mrs. John A, Logan, Postmaster-General Smith, White- | |law Reld @and ex-Senator Gilbert A. | Pierce; and ‘many representatives of for- | elgn Governments. me of the touching incidents of the day was_ the waiting upon Major Davis, the aged father of the late Senator, by a com- / pany of school children from Neill school, which is_just opposite the family resi- | dence. They presented the following me- | morial: “The pupils of the Nefll school remem- ber most kindly the visit of their eigh- | bor, Major Davis, to the school last Me. morial day. They desire to express to him their loving sympathy in his present great sorrow for the loss of his own dear son.” Major Davis was deeply affected by the tribute, as was the entire Household. It was decided to-day that the funeral services would be held at the residence | on Saturday morning at 11 o'clock, the brief service being in charge of Rev. C. D. | Andrews, rector of the Church of 8t. John the Evangelist. In deference to the wish of the many friends who would be unable to attend the services at the house, and on the particular l:auen of Governor Lind, it was also declded that the bo shall lie in state at the capitol from 10 until 8 o’clock on Friday. A detachmént of the National Guard will escort the body from the residence to the capitol and re- main as guards during_the day, later re- turning to the house. The interment will be at Calvary Cemetery. Governor Lind to-day issued a procla- mation announcing the death of the Sen- ator and asking for a general suspension of business between the hours of 10 and 2 on Saturday, the day of the funeral. WHAT McKINLEY WILL RECOMMEND President’s Message Is in the Hands of the Printer. WASHINGTON, Nov. 28—The Presi- dent’s message went to the printer to-day. In the proof it will be revised and in some instances elaborated and added to. The following is the outline of what | | with Tax Collector Scott that an arrest be the President decided to recommend: The Philippines are to be held by the United States as part of its territory, to be governed along lines similar to those laid down for Porto Rico. The need of troops to maintain order will be discussed freely and the opinion expressed that al- | though the time has not yet come for the creation of a stable form of government, still_steps in that direction should be taken. Congress will be asked to pass the Spooner bill, giving the President full eivil authority so that an emergency govern- ment can_be provided and the military force gradually reduced to the limits of olice organization. The treatment of the hilippine question will be extensive and will foreshadow the ultimate adoption of a broad colonial policy. The message will renew the pledge of this country to oppose all schemes of territorial conquest and will warn the powers that whatever re- sult may be reached, the United States will insfst upon the ‘“‘open door” in the | rient. A promise will be made that Cuba will be turned over to the Cubans soon. The ‘work of the American officers in Cuba will be praised. % In general terms the President will refer to the work of the Isthmian Canal Com- mission and recommend the construction of the canal. He will make it plain, how- ever, that the Clayton-Bulwer treaty must first be repealed or the original Hay- Pauncefote treaty ratified.

They have agreed made for the violation, in order that a test case may be had. That arrest will probably be made to-day. It is the inten- tion of counsel for the clothing dealers tu copsent to a conviction in the Police Court, and on appeal to the Superior Court to make the attack upon the con- stitutionality of the ordinance. ‘The_new charter provides in_section 15, page 5, that “no license tax shall be im- posed on any person who at a fix: ’ place mer- ermits from the Board of Police Commissioners." Section 71, page 202, decrees that the “‘Chief of Police shall possess powers of general police inspection, supervision and control over all * * dealers in second- hand merchandise and junk-shop keepers. All persons engaged in such callings must procure permits from the Commisioners.” Under these sections, Ordinance No. 107 was sed, placing a license tax upon second-hand dealers varying from $ to $8 per auarter, according to the volume of usiness transacted. The second-hand fur- niture dealers succeeded in getting ex- em?!ed from_ the tax b¥hthe passage of inance No. 168. e second-hand clothing dealers maintain that the license tax involves an illegal discrimination. They complain that it is also unjust, as they are generally small dealers and poor, not as able to meet such a tax as mer- chants in general would be. The assoclation formed them con. tains 160 members. Michael bers of 10% Howard streef Is president. Denson & Bchlesinger have been engaged as counsel.

The man trussed up so that he can Commissioners take refuge for their dila- tory tactics in not announcing the result of an examination which was held as far back as September 22, behind & request | made by Tax Collector Scott to postpone | the announcements. Scott's reason for | this singular request was that he was in | the midst of his busiest season, when mil- | lions of dollars were being collected in | taxes. He was averse, he sald, to have his clerks disturbed while such large | amounts were being paid in. | The Commissioners accommodatingly | complied with Scott’s request and instead | of markl the examination papers for | Tax Colle€tor’s clerks proceeded to mark | those of the applicants for positions of | police officers instead, though the exam- | ination was held at a later date than that of the Tax Collector’'s clerks. The - an- nouncement of the eligible list for police officers was made last week. The busy time in the Tax Collector's office is now over and if the certified list of clerks had been finished in its order by the Civil Ser- vice Commissioners the merit system couid have been introduced in the tax office at once.
