SANTA CLAUS EPIsTLEs.
The Merry Old Nan aAs All the Or
ders He Can FIJI.

Since the article recently appeared in
the NEWS about santa Claus the Office
has been deluged with letters for the old
Christmas King. They come in all sorts
of envelopes. Some are sweetly perfumed
little bits of pink paper directed by a
childish hand. Others are OF some dell
cate blue or almost any color, and many
are written on commercial paper. Every
note contains request for one or more
presents. The most Of the writer's still
want dolls or doll carriages.
AS rule, the requests are modest. One
writer, however, who signs his letter,
Your good little boy, Johnnie," wants
"a nice little horn, gun, a goat and
wagon. drum, a whip, little chair, a
foot ball. jumping jack, top and cord,
some marbles. bank, little steam en-
CINE, soldier cap, a yelOcipede, a little
pony, little A B { book and some ire
crackers"
Johnny's big sister or his mamma GER
tainly left out one thing that he wanted
when she wrote the letter-a small-sized
earth.
Now and then note comes in from the
country, but the little folks OF the city
have been most active,
santa has not yet come back to the
NEWS office, and the young man who
opens MS letters says that the Old senJlc-
man cannot pay Savannah visit before
the night of Dec. a. His private secre-
tary also says that it is no use for the
little boys and girl. to write any more
letters TO the News Office this year, be-
cause Santa has gone to the moon or some
other place where Christmas comes
earlier than 1t does in Georgia.
He Will attend to the letters already
sent to the News office, and the rest of
his little friends must take the chances of
getting whatever he sees fit to drop into
their stockings Christmas eve. He is
generally IN hurry then, and as he does
not start around until pretty late at night
the little ones must 90 to bed early, and
not feel bad il they DO not get live horse
apiece, and the young man says don't
write any more letters.

The most destructive storm during No
vemOer. and which acted IN very pecu-
liar manner upon reaching the Atianuc
coast, developed in Western Kansas on
the 2tst. Il first moved southeasterlY I'LL
it reached Tennessee on the 22d. II then
changed its course to nOrtheasterly, ana
in sixteen hours reached the Chesapeake
Bay on the 23d. Its movement then was
very much retarded, caused by some I'M
known reason, and the centre remained
in the vicinity of the New Jersey coast
until the 18th.
The temperature was nearly normal
during the month in the South Atlantic
and Gull States, and in the Ohio valley
and Tennessee. 1t was slightly above the
normal IN New England, the Middle At
lantic States. the lake region, and the Up.
per Mississippi and Missouri valleys.
But in rare cases in any Of these districts
was the departure from the normal more
than deg. On the Rocky Mountain slope
1t WAS decidedly warmer than the aver
age. the departure from the normal being
from deg. 10 9 deg. On the Pacific coast
the temperature was slightly above the
normal, the greatest departure being
about deg in the North Pacific district.

slow Time TO TaIIsbassee.

The mails from Savannah to Tallahas-
see, Fla, and other places between Bald
win and the ChattahOochee river, a dis
tance of 1870 miles, are half day longer
in getting to their destination than they
were fifteen years ago. Leaving here in
the morning it takes as much time To get
to Tallahassee as it does 10 Washington.
The result is that part of the business that
formerly came to savannah Is now going
to New Orleans and Jacksonville. A
railroad from ThOmasville, ValdOsta,
Quitman or some other South Georgia
city, with Tallahassee and Monticello,
would remedy this state of affairs, ana be
OF benefit 10 the entire country through

OPPOSED THE OFFICERS.
A Jefferson County Citizen on Trial for
Obstructing the Law

John E. Barginier, of Louisville, Jeffer-
son county, was put on trial yesterday in
the United States District Court, charged
with obstructing an officer while in the
discharge OF his duty.
Charles w. Mosely. a Deputy Marshal,
stated that about Jan. 6, 1885, he and
Deputy Marshal Wells. of Macon, went
to Louisville to arrest James Parker and
Mack Thomas for retail liquor dealing
without revenue license.
After Parker's arrest he was, at his
own request, taken into a room, which
was locked. Barginier, it is alleged,
broke into the room. and was followed by
a crowd OF men. Barginier and Parker
are cousins. and the former swore that
Parker should not be taken away against
his wish. Mosely further testified that
the crowd followed him and his prisoner
around the town until he drove off. Wells
and Bargnier had quarrel, and the wit.
ness was himself afraid that there would
be trouble.
The plea Of the defense will be that Bar
ginier only desired that his friend SHOULD
be given a hearing in Louisville. That
however, could not be done, as there wat
no United States Commissioner in the
place.
The case was not concluded.

Neao YORK Letter to tAe Bg6alo Eepress.


Eleven young women stood in a row.
There ought TO have been an even dozen,
but something was the matter with the
missing twelfth. This was behind the
scenes on stage devoted to a well-known
/ burlesque entertainment. The eleven
were a chorus. They were unclad in a
manner usual to dramatic shamelessness.
But it is about their faces that / am go
ing to write. Their features averaged
pretty. The popular conceit that ugli-
ness in private life can by Theatre de-
vices be turned into beauty for the foot
lights to shine on is a iallacy. There are
some smooth, shapely actresses, with reg
ular faces, who can paint on coat of
youthfulness, but that is exceptional, the
general rule being that visages are at a
disadvantage under & are that discloses
and magnihes every popularity. The
eleven were not employed on account of
talent, for they were little more than fig
urantes, and so the manager had easily
insisted that they should be young and
comely. When l saw them they had just
emerged from their dressing room, and
were within ten minutes to appear be-
fore an audience. They looked well, ex-
cept that their countenanoes were CHASTITY
white.
What on earth's the matter with
them ~ / asked. "Stage tTightE'
'NOI muCn, WAS I0e fepiNs you
couldn't scare them with an audience or
Booths and Irvings. They've not had
their bloom put on yet. Here is their
painter. Watch him.''
The girls ranged themselves, facing a
strong light. A man with a palette and
several brushes went up to the one at the
end OF the line. She stopped her tongue,
shut uD her saucy mouth, and held her
face eXpressionlesslv still. The artist dab
bled a brush In the snlutch of black
paint on the palette and deity shaped
Then he took up brushtul of red, spot
ted her cheeks and covered her lips.
Stepping back pace, he gazed critically at
his job. The girl grinned so suddenly and
mechanically that | got the impression
that she had gone daft; but that was
quite III the way OF professional duty, and
was intended to snow him how she would
look when she smiled at the audience, so
that he could see how TO outline her lips.
This he did with a few rapid strokes FL
nallV, he rubbed the color on her cheeks
until it blended satisfactorily with the
white groundwork, gave her a critical ex-
animation from a distance of dozen feet,
and she was ready for exhibition. She
lhereupon dropped off the end of the line,
and the same operation, varied only as
the difference of the subject required.
was repeated on the next girl. The mans
movements were wonderfully quick and
deXterOus, and the eleventh charmer was
finished in a space of time that may as
well be called jiffy.

The Kind of Weather that Savannah
Had In November.

The Kind of Weather that Savannah
Had in November.
The weather yesterday was decidedly
Vinterish. The oyercoat trade took a
boom, and the clothing men We're as happy
as the proprietor of a summer resort is
when the mercury bounces up to 10.
During the first half Of the day the sun
and the clouds took it by turns. But
about 2:30 O'Clock in the afternoon a little
dark cloud whsked down from the north
west, scattering hail and sleet all over
this immediate section.
The signal service men said that
the storm was most likely local, and,
in their opinion, did not extend over
n belt more than two miles in
width. The wind blew stifiiy for awhile.
but soon Gained down to eight miles an
hour. TIE sleet was followed by rain,
which kept up at intervals during the az
ternoon. Sleet is what the weather Office
people call IT, Citizens spoke OF it as
hail and commented upon It as something
unusual. The air grew chilly imme-
diately afterwards and the change was
very noticeable.
At 3 p. m. it was not storminR any,
where In the United States but a storm
was threatening at Charleston. In the
South Atlantic States the temperature
ranged from 80 at Atlanta 10 o. at Jack
sOnvile. In Charleston the thermometer
marked a., and in this city it was one de-
gree warmer. Boston was the coolest
spot reported in the United States, the
mercury there standing at "a which was
degrees higher than II was during the
night. Strange to say, ii was no colder in
the birthplace of nearly every cold wave
the extreme Northwest than in
Savannah. At Brownsville, and along
the Rio 3rande, the Texans had regular
summer weather, with the mercury at II.
At IL O'Clock last night the mercury
had dropped to As In Savannah, aud the
rising barometor indicated fairer weather
today. warmer weather is also eXpect-
ed. In the Northwest the barometer was
way up above 30 inches, which Indicated
fair weather for that section.
The hiRhest barometer at Savannah
during November was on the DAY after
Thank sgiving, when IL registered 1892.
The lowest was 1888. The highest tenn
perature was 1915 Nov. G. and the lowest
rs, Nov. 25. The greatest RANGE Of the
temperature IN any one daY was % de-
Rrees and the least degrees. The mean
daily range was 10 degrees and the mean
temperature for the month 30. The pre-
vaillng direct on Of the wind was north
west The highest velocity was % miles

There WAS not foggy day during the
month, hut there was frost on the 18th.
