The proverbial horn of plenty was conspicuous -on the card placed before the guests of the Spencer House. The bill Included many things to be thankful for. It was a long way from "blue points" to "coffee," but many traveling men and other visitors In the dty went over the entire route.

At the conclusion of the program, Mr. R. Gruelle presented the school with four handsome paintings from his own

dress, spoke of the effects of civilisation and aatd that, outside of the United

States and Canada, every other country in the western hemleobere looked with

disfavor on education. The men of high rank In these countries desired to sup-

the masses and keep the people fn

ignorance as much as possible. Me Impressed on the children the fart that ths young people of the United States are favored above ail others In the world.

HOTELS MAKE SPECIAL EFFORTS.

Artistic ferfie and Elaborate Hoards —Restaurant Menus. The best In ths printer’s art and In the culinary art are brought Into play "in striving to please" Thanksgiving patrons of the hotels. The hotels of this city exceeded former elaborate efforts m the artistic menus they laid before their guests, and In the bill of fare represented. The management at the Bates supplied the guests at breakfast with bills of fare for the entire day. The cards were Inclosed la a hand-painted cover of satin, ths whole being the conception of George Fulwelt. the steward of the hotel. In the way of meats the hotel offered be* r, terrapin. pheaeont with mushroom*, duck, turkey, antelope, "snipe," goose livers, and lobster. Nothing desirable In the vegetable line was omitted, and there were relishes to spare, and for dessert there wae a "long line” from which t*r' choose. To ‘‘wash this all down" the hotel eat out dry oatawba. The Grand. laid before its gueeta n menu oard ineaaed wltotn a dam illy *>rnamsated oover.

Union SoAvIom a* Several Churches Te-Dny. Religious denominations In many parts of ths dty united their congregations today and held union Thanksgiving eerviesa Through ths rain many people could be seen on the streets and In the cars making their way to the morning services, where they heard discourses on topics suggested of the day. The Preobyterlan churches, near the center of ths city, held union services at the Second Presbyterian church this morning. The sermon was by the Rev. J Ctunming Smith, of the Tabernacle church, his subject being ‘The Bright Hide of Popular Discontent." He said lit part: '•Even while we ponder the proclamations of the President and the Governor, and even while we are Impressed with their felicity of etatement and their undirt one of hope, there often arises a sense of Incongruity. It Is as If we. while wrapped in the glorious music of an organ, heard at the same time the vulgarity of the streets It Is as If when w# hear from one part of the press— and. by the way. the presa is a miracle of accuracy, considering the greater miracle of Its versUlllty—the most battering opinion of a publlo man, and then have our idol broken by damaging suggtstlona In attractive form. It Is the same sense of Incongruity that must lessen our gratitude, or at least overcloud our faith, when our supreme authorities summon the people to praise God for His ntunifldence in the copious harvest. In the returning confidence. In factories over-busy with orders, and yet we fancy we hear th® Jarring sounds of ill-fed mtn, starving homes, unbilled voice, smothered mutiny, groaning million*. • •••••• ' "The most encouraging feature of our time Is Its sensitiveness. As the common conscience grows It catches glimpses of Inequalities, which never pained an obtuse conscience. But this sensitiveness rwiulrea a very severe discrimination between Its good and bad forma There la the discontent of those who are born to growl. There Is the discontent of those too lasy to work, and who. therefore, groan under & woe which they themselves court. There Is the discontent, also, of those who decry our Government. They are constitutionally anarchistic. Even If placed in the most auspicious environment, where sturdy manhood would plunge Into action, men of this dark sump will dodge the chance and foment a sullen mutiny. Magnifying Dtstrena. "We sometimes blame our literature for magnifying distress out of all proportion. Because a fire-bell rings It does not follow that a whole town Is In flames. When one part of our body politic suffers we know all parts correspondingly suffer, and. therefore, one class must watch the good of every class. But surely we count that man a fool who goes to bed for a fever when only a boll com«a out on his thumb. But it Is high time to Indicate a discontent of another color. It is no volcanic violence. no wild crusade, no assault on vested right*. It 1* simply the unreet which come* with enlightenment. Progress creates the neciwalty of further progreea Oppose it and you enfiame it Guide It and you help the State. ‘This struggle upward la the conse-

It l* a simple case of cause and effect Besides. why fear the upshot of these schools and homes at ours. when, as a fact, every high inspiration contains both bellows and fender? This discontent, therefore, will not haunt those who believe In a common people. Old Greece was top-heavy with genius, but with popular Ignorance underneath. America is greater than Greece, because its average man is greater, and those who are •cared by the massing problems of the near future forget the increasing common sense to master these problems.

They look as If they form one Impenetrable mass whirling before the storm, but the train, when once it pierces that sand-storm, finds many spaces within It. Those who feex the thickening difficulties of the next century forget three facta: First, that new problems born of progress come according to schedule time, with lulls between. Second, those problems will mostly be of a kindred nature, and the solution of one will facilitate the solution of the other. Third, they underrate the growing masterliness of our people that la Itself the surest token of progress, and guarantees

the ability to unsnarl vexed questions. "We permit no arid fancies to unnerve

us. We believe and rejoice in the welltried firmness of our nation, hitherto equal to any crisis; its ardor for progress and homage to law; Its fine, blending radicalism and conservatism; above all, the fear of God and love for man as man. which will make the land of Washington and Lincoln sturdy forevermore."

SERVICES AT MEMORIAL CHURCH.

The Rev. Burris A. Jenkins Addresses Several Congregations. Special union services were held at Memorial church this morning at 10:80. The following churches united la the service. The Central-avenue M. E., the Collegeavenue Baptist, the First United Presbyterian, the Friends’, the First United Brethren, the Third Christian, the Memorial Presbyterian. The Rev. Burris A. Jenkins, of the Third Christian church, preached the sermon. He said, in part: "In the supreme moment* in our lives we become conscious of God. When a great joy suddenly lightens our lives, v'hen a great deliverance comes, we exclaim. Thank God!’ Thank God!’ When in adversity and the way seems dark, we cry out. "God, help us.” It Is well that these extremes come. They make us conscious of God. On this Thanksgiving some few will gather, as we have gathered, to count our mercies. It la old-fashioned, but it Is wise. The best Thanksgiving we can render to God la to walk with Him and to feel our responsibility to Him. It Is this acknowledgment of God's presence that makes ths beet Thanksgiving. We of America ought more than any other nation to be dedicated to God and conscious of Him. America Is conceded by the other nations to be the most moral country In the world. Whatever the people of foreign nations think of ua. they look upon us as a sternly moral nation, retaining the integrity of our Puritan ancestry and rejecting the license of continental laxity. They may consider us somewhat prudish, but they pay tribute to the morality of the United States. God forbid that we should glory, for heaven knows that we know that we are Immoral enough. “This should make us all the stronger against the assaults of continental manners and customs. Along our Atlantic shore the European morals are edging their way upon American soil. The continental Sunday, with Its games, gardens, resorts and excursions, its substitution of wanderings for worship. Its outings for kneelings, has made tremendous strides Into our Atlantic civilisation. I believe that It is as much for us to resist the encroachments of European Immor ality upon our continent as to resist the encroachment of foreign forces. The Monroe doctrine applies to morals as well as to International polities. “In freedom of thought, both political and religious. America occuplee a position of responsibility. America has given to England back again the freedom of religious thinking which the Puritans sought on our shores. It is this absolute freedom of thought that places us In our responsible position. America’s Responsibility. "The native enterprise and energy of our people bring us reeponsibUHy. and If there is something too mercurial about our disposition*, it Is only the nervousness of youth. Our people are realising the fault and correcting It. The absolute Impartiality that America can exerctse in the affairs of nations places us in positions of great responsibility and trust. The United States has no desire for the spread of her dominions, and. therefore! need not be led Into excesses which follow greed. Possibly the time may come when the Monroe doctrine will be so modified that the United States may take a more active part In the affairs of other nations. Our geographical location places ua In a position of responsibility. (Such are the responsibilities which confront ua God has given them to ua and we ought to fulfill them aa la his eight. The words

*T believe that the American people are a humbler people to-day than thev have ever been before. Abraham Lincoln was far from being a conceited man. A plain man from the West, a rude, untutored man. he knew the power which resided in him. and srith great humble self-devotion he gave himself to the work of God long before the presidency called him Hia work was In God s vine-

yard. Lincoln la a true type of the

The W ork of the Senate..

"We ask the question this morning. 'What ha* the past year brought on our national borison that commands our thought and our prayer* to-day r One matter for which we have cause to be thankful is that the Anglo-American peace treaty which was formulated by wise and careful men and ignominiously slain by grave and reverend ’jingoes. To be sure, there is little danger of our ever going to war again srith Great Britain, In spite of the faot that our Intereeta more often conflict with here than with those of any other nation; but we have missed a great opportunity In not bringing that treaty into force. It would have been a great object lesson to the world. The people did not defeat this measura It was the Senate of tht United States—those politicians who have lowered the dignity of that once honored body until the people of this country can well feel humble when they look upon it O shades of Webster and Calhoun, of Bumner and Clay, weep for the days that ore gone. That valiant Senate, that warlike Senate that defeated the British lion at Its very doors and defeated the Brit-

ish treaty of everlasting peace!

"To the southeast lies a task which Providence Is thrusting on us. We have been slow In coming to it. I am not going to talk Jingo now. My people will bear me out In this claim that it is the first time that I have raised my voice In behalf of Cuba. The American people have been patient somewhat as Virginiu* was when he heard the news from the tyrant, during Weyleris atrocities, during the burnings and slaughterings, the starving* and the murderings of that concentrating and concentrated wretch. We have prevented fllllbustering. Our press, the saner port of it, has been exceedingly conservative in all utterance* and sought not to affront Spain We have watched with all the calmness we could summon the fifteen years of war during the last twenty-nine, which has devastated the pearl of the Atlantic, which destroyed our commerce, and what Is worse, caused the death of thousands of people. We have been patient, more so than would have any other nation on the glebe, but the time for patience is

passed.

There are three factors to the Cuban situation: First, our attitude to Spain; second, the proud tmpotency of Spain; third, the Indomitable determination of the Cubans. It Is a simple situation. The United States Government grows firmer and firmer every day, and will not recede^ Cuba must be pacified either by conquest or autonomy. Spain Is growing weaker and weaker, but prouder and prouder. She has sent all of her young men a» food for powder, and Is only alive to-day because of her debts and her tradition* Both are great: but they ore Insufficient props for a kingdom. Many believe that before another Thanksgiving we shall give praise for Cuba fibre, Spain humbler and the United States older, sadder for the loss of some sons more thoughtful for Its rising power and more deeply desirous of willing it aright."f

BISHOP WHITE AT ST. PAUL'S.

The President’s Thanksgiving Message Is Commended. Bishop White preached a short Thanksgiving sermon to a congregation in St. Paul’s Episcopal church this mqrntog He was always gratified, he said, In reading the President’s Thanksgiving message to a people not too much given to thought of God, calling attention to the fact that every good gift comes from Him. He did not mean, he said, to give a summary of the history of the last twelve months, nor to take up the market reports of the year and comment upon them with satisfaction, nor to recall that the country has been at peace with all the world. He held that it was to God’s spiritual blousings rather than to material prosperity that the thoughts of the day should be turned. If we felt the duty of the day as we should, we must be drawn Into the presence of God with heart* full to overflowing wKh thankfulness. As to material prosperity, blessings had been poured upon this country so abundantly that If all things were right this should be the most godly people on earth. The bishop dwelt upon the thought that the true expression of religious feeling and gratitude to God. the only adequate expression was the outpouring of a fife of service. Another thought was that the question of the hour was not so much how to get power as how we should use It after obtaining 1L o-„. —
