In her cell in the Tombs prison Nan Patterson, the young woman who for more than a week has been on trial in the Supreme Court, charged with the murder of Caesar Young, the wealthy horseman, ate her dinner alone. “I had hoped to 'be home for Thanksgiv ing,” she said, “especially on account of my mother, who is very ill. But the celebration is only postponed.’’ A letter which Miss Patterson re ceived from her mother to-day said: “We expected you to be home for Thanksgiving, but there can 'be no thanksgiving for us until you get free.” Miss Patterson received several pres ents from her friends to-day. Among them was a five-pound box of candy, which she shared with the fifty-seven women prisoners In the Tombs.

Felton turned and dashed through the crowd, followed by hun dreds of men and women who shouted for the police. Running to Seventh avenue, Felton entered a saloon and was there arrested. He was taken back to where Roche lay and an effort was made to have the wounded man iden tify him. “Leave it to me; if I die, all right; if X live I will make good,” was all Roche would say. Roche was hurried to a hospital, where it was said his condition is crit ical. By this time the crowd had grown to such proportions that reserves had to be called before Felton could be taken to a police station. There two wit nesses said they saw Felton fire two shots the instant before Roche fell. “I don’t care what they say, I don’t know anything about this affair,” Fel ton exclaimed. “I heard the shot in the crowd and naturally I wanted to get out of the way. That’s why I ran. I have had enough trouble to last me to the end of my life.” Felton is said to have come from Chicago several years ago. KILLED COLONY PADRONE.

KING IN BATTLE WITH SNOWBALLS SOVEREIGN OF PORTUGAL COULD NOT RESIST AND PASTED AN AMBASSADOR. This Was the Signal for a General Snowballing, Though the Member* of the King's Party Were Prover bially Courtier-Like, and They Were Careful Not to Aim at ill* Majesty—Hustles Stood by and Saw Grandees nt Play. London, Nov. 24.—King Charles of Portugal and his party spent the last day of their visit at Chatsworth, shooting in the peasant preserves. The King, who is a magnificent shot, did great execution. The whole district was covered with deep snow, but the day was bright. Queen Amelie and the ladies of her suite joined the party at luncheon in a big marquee. While awaiting the ladies. King Charles and the other shooters threw snowballs at a mark. This was too tame for the King, who, catching Marquis DeSoveral, the Por tuguese ambassador to Great Britain, off his guard, made an accurate shot at the dignified diplomat. King Charles’ example was quickly followed and the whole party engaged like schoolboys in active snowballing. While none of the missiles were actual-. ly aimed at his majesty, a number of distinguished personages were less fortunate. For some minutes the fun was fast and furious, the King being the most active, and one of the most accurate among the fighters. The unusual incident was greatly en joyed by a large number of spectators and rustics, who had gathered nearby in the roadway. TITLED BRITON SOUNDED A NOTE OF DISCORD. Sarcastically Derided the Use of the Word “American.” London, Nov. 24. The annual Thanksgiving banquet of the American Society at the Hotel Cecil to-night was marked by the presentation to Ambas sador Choate of a portrait of himself, painted by Hubert Herkomer and paid for by subscriptions by members of the society. An unusual note for such a gather ing was introduced by Sir Edward Clarke, who, proposing Mr. Choate’s health', safcasflSally HerlcTed the title “American” ambassador, declaring that the word “American” implied domina tion over the whole of the Western hemisphere, which the United States does not possess and is not entitled to, as Great Britain is territorially a larger power on the American conti nent than the United States. Sir Ed ward suggested that a more suitable title would be “Usona,” signifying United States of North America. Ambassador Choate, replying, said that the Americans were quite satis fied with their name and then referred to the recent election in the United States as a splendid tribute to devotion and affection to a great man. Having remarked upon the regeneration of public life in America, regardless of party, now in progress, Mr. Choate al luded to the ever-growing friendship between Great Britain and America as a reason for thanksgiving, and added: “I asked Lord Lansdowne If he was ready to negotiate a treaty of arbi tration. ‘Why.’ said Lord Lansdowne, ‘it goes without saying.’ ” Continuing, Mr. Choate maintained that many things go without saying between Great Britain and America, above all that they should avoid all possible causes of offense and settle all differences by peaceful means. He paid a high tribute to the Arch bishop of Canterbury’s "re-discovery of America,” and dilated upon the value of visits to America by such men as the Archbishop and John Morley. The Archbishop of Canterbury, pro posing President Roosevelt’s health, ex pressed his sincere thanks for the great hospitality with which he was received in America. He said America faced problems greater than the world had ever seen, but by a stroke of genius, had found the man to conquer the diffi culties. “We on this side,” said the Archbishop, “not less than brothers to you across the Atlantic, thank God and take courage because the destinies of America are safe In Roosevelt's hands.” BELIEVED TO bVLOST WITH THE 77 ABOARD.

Brooks of Rome, on the floor of the Georgia Baptist Convention, gave $5,000 to the cause. It was the most dramatic moment in the history of the convention, when, following several deeply enthusiastic talks on the subject of foreign mis sions, Mr. Brooks, who is a prominent lawyer of Rome, turned to Dr. It. J. Willingham, secretary of the Foreign Mission Board of the Southern Bap tist Convention, and said: “Dr. Wil lingham, our greatest sin Is quenching the spirit. I wish to give you $5,000 for foreign missions.” The magnificent gift was the climax of a fervid talk by Mr. Brooks, in which he deplored the fact that no large individual gifts had ever been made to foreign missions by Southern Baptists, as compared with their do nations to other causes. Led by William D. Upshaw, the huge congregation, which was deeply thrill ed, joined In singing heartily "Praise God, from Whom All Blessings Flow.” Mr. Brooks recently gave $5,000 to Shorter University.

Longley, appointed to make report on this subject, recommended that the paper submitted by Judge Hlllyer be adopted by the convention. The pa per, which takes high ground, urging Baptists over the state to lend their Influence to the suppression of both these grievous evils, was adopted by the body. Condemned the Parliament. A resolution was offered and adopt ed, condemning the recent action of the British Parliament In placing the control of the public schools of Eng land In the hands of the Church of England, which meant that the doc trines of that church only would be taught the children, and that all non conformists would be compelled to support the schools, whether they be lieved In the doctrines of the Church of England or not.

Cincinnati, Nov. 24. —It developed to day that another dynamite explosion at the Eureka Foundry occurred at the same time that young Rauhauser was making his statement to the de tectives. The foundry management for some reason suppressed the fact.
