Thanksgiving at public institutions Derailed by landlord
Thanksgiving was observed in Cutcaco with public dinners at hospitals and orphan asylums. The Women's Suburban club's cash girl dinner was spoiled when building agent William H Hoops was told by the landlord not to run the elevator, forcing many children to leave hungry. The landlord reportedly claimed back rent of 17 560 dollars and avoided extra cost of 75 cents to run the elevator. Fifteen hundred newsboys were fed in London by William Waldorf Astor. In Cleveland, prayers were offered for the conversion of agnostic Colonel Robert G Ingersoll by Christian Endeavor Union members and others.
