that it forgot to think of itself, and could
only look about, there was SO much to be
seen. The court was close to a garden,
where everything looked blooming. Fresh
and fragrant roses hung over the little pal
ings. The linden trees were in blossom;
while the swallows flew here and there, cry
ing: ''Twit twit, twit, my mate is coming"
but it was not the fir tree they meant 'Now
I shall live" cried the tree, joyfully, spread
ing out its branches; but, alas they were all
wthered and yellow, and it lay in a corner
amongst weeds and nettles. The star of gold
paper still stuck in the top of the tree, and
glittered in the sunshine. In the same court
yard two of the merry children were playing
who had danced round the tree at Christmas,
and had been SO happy. The youngest saw
the gilded star, and ran and pulled it off the
tree. Look what is sticking to the ugly old
fir tree" said the child treading on the
branches till they cracked under his boots.
And the tree saw all the fresh, bright
flowers in the garden, and then
looked at itself and wished it had
remained in the dark corner of the garrett.
Then a lad came and chopped the tree into
small pieces, till large bundle lay in heap
on the ground. The pieces were placed in q
fire under the copper, and they quickly
blazed up brightly, while the tree sighed SO
deeply that each sigh was like a little pistol
shot Then the children, who were at play,
came and seated themselves in front of the
fire, and looked at it, and cried, ''Pop, pop"
But at each pop" which was deep sigh,
the tree was thinking of a summer day the
forest or of some winter night there, when
the stars shone brightly, and of Christmas
evening. Now all was past; the trees life
was past, and the story also-for all stories
must come to an end at last-Adapted from
Hans Christian Anderson.

The old chorister broke away from the
sexton and hQbbled up the stairs. When he
reached the organ loft they were singing
"And on earth peace, good will to men,"
Hezekiah waited until they were done, and
then in low, grave tone that startled the
singers, he said:

their lives; and after they had listened to it

Young fir tree, which was now grown to its
full height, shuddered as the noble trees fell
to the earth with crash. After the branches
were Topped off, the trunks looked so slender
and bare that they could scarcely be recog-
nized Then they were placed upon wagons
and drawn by horses ont of the forest.
''Where were they going? What would be-
come of them." The young fir tree wished
very much to know SO in the spring, when
the swallows and the storks came, it asked,
"Do you know where those trees were taken:

The swallows knew nothing; but the stOrk,
after little reflection, nodded his head and

said the stork, flying quickly away.
"Rejoice in thy youth, said the sunbeam;
''reioice in thy fresh growth and the young
life that is in thee"
And the wind kissed the tree and the dew
watered it with tears, but the fir tree regarded

Christmas time drew near and many young
trees were cut down, some even smaller and
younger than the fir tree, who enjoyed
neither rest nor peace with longing to leave
its forest home, These young trees, which
were chosen for their beauty, kept their
branches and were also laid on wagons and
drawn by horses out of the forest.
''Where are they going?' asked the fir tree.
''They are not taller than am; indeed one is
much less; and why are the branches not cut

Far down in the forest, where the warm
sun and the fresh air made a sweet resting
place, grew a pretty little fir tree; and yet it
was not happy, it wished so much to be tall
like its companions, the pines and frs which
grew around it. The sun shone and the soft
air futtered its leaves, and the little peasant
children passed by prattling merriIy, but the
fir tree needed them not As it grew it

Peter laughed almost Historically and

"Come down to the fire. he exclaimed
''the choir will be here right away to re-

Eyes, I'll go,n answered Hezekiah, and
with great difficulty he dragged his stiffened
limbs down the stairs into the vestry, where
the furnace was already roaring with a
freshly made fire. He submitted to be
rubbed and slapped by Peter to induce
quicker circulation Of his blood, but he gave
no clear answer to the wondering inquiries
as to how he came to be locked into the
church over night.
Presently the organ upstairs began to
sound. Hezelliah shivered and Peter rubbed
him the harder Then the voice of the bass
in the new quartet was heard reciting:
''And there were shepherds abiding in the

The old chorister listened with staring
eyes. Could it be? The long recitative came

Eler its dark green foliage might be seen in
the forest, while passerS by would say, "What
beautiful tree!"
A short time before Christmas the discon-
tented fir tree was the first to fall As the
ak cut through the stem and divided the
pith the tree fell with a groan to the earth,
conscious of pain ard faintness, and forget
ting all its anticipations Of happiness, in sor-
row at leaving its home in the forest. 1t

TEST
Then came two servants in grand livery and
carried the fir tree into a large and beautiful
apartment. On the walls hung pictures, and
near the great stove stood great china vases,
with lions on the lids. There were rocking
chairs, silken sofas, large tables, covered with
pictures, books and playthings, worth great
deal of money-at least the children said so.
Then the fir tree was placed in large tub,
full of sand; but green baize hung all round
it, so that no one could see it was tub, and
it stood on a very handsome carpet. How
the fir tree trembled! What was going to
happen to him now?' Some young ladies
came, and the servants helped them to adorn
the tree. On one branch they hung little
bags cut out Of colored paper, and each bag
was filled with sweetmeats; from other
branches hung gilded apples and walnuts, as
if they had grown there; and above, and all
round, were hundreds of red, blue and white
tapers, which were fastened on the branches.
Dolls, exactly like real babies, were placed
under the green leaves-the tree had never
seen such things beforehand at the very top
was fastened a glittering star, made Of tinsel.
Oh, it was very beautiful!
At last the tapers were lighted, and then
what glistening blaze of light the tree pre-
sented! And now the folding doors were
thrown open, and troop of children rushed
i'll as if they intended to upset the tree; they
were followed more slowly by their elders.
For moment the little ones stood silent with
establishment, and then they shouted for joy,
till the room rang, and they danced merrily
round the tree, while one present after an
other was taken from it.

The grounds of mis- appeal were exact
ly the same as those which proved so
successful in the case of boodier "Jake"
Sharp, of New York. ED Mcdonald is
a brother of the noted local politi oian

aid. McGarigle, who made the
sensational bath tub escape from
Sheriff Matsop, was indicted with ED"
Mcdonald, while a dozen other accused
public officials and employees were ar
raigned in an omnibus trial. The ma
jority, including Mcdonald, were sem
fenced TO the penitentiary, and with
the exception of him are now
serving their terms in Joliet
prison. He, meanwhile, for more than a
year remained in Jail at Chicago, de-
termined, apparently, not to accept con-
Wet stripes until every techni-
cality had been exhausted. Reversal
by supreme court does not necessarily
imply the final escape of "Boss" Melon

Senator German Seems to be Working for His

Road.
WASHINGTON, Nov. 1.-THE rather fire.
quent visits which have been made to the
white house and Oak View by Senator
German during the past nine days have
beer the cause of nos little speculation
here. The result of the election had, it
was thought, settled for a time all the
presidential questions that would call for
repeated conferences between the presi-
dent and the senator from Maryland.
Mary wild guess has been made as
TO the cause of these meetings.
but it was not until last night that the
first substantial rumor made It's appear
ance. q prominent Baltimoreian was in
the city yesterday, and he is responsible
for the story that Senator German was
endeavoring to SO arrange matters that
President Cleveland should be elected
president of the Baltimore 81 Ohio rail-
| road company. The annual meeting Of
the stockholders of the road will be held
on Monday next, and the president of
| the road will be chosen by the
| directors about December 18th. This
| plum, it has been limited, could be SO
shaken that it would drop into the
lap of Senator German, but that gentle
mans friends say he prefers politics to
railroa6ing. Knowing that he could Sc
cure the position, says Dame Rumor, the
senator decided, if agreeable to Mr..
Cleveland, to throw his weight and infu-
ence in the presidents behalf, How the
affair will be adjusted cannot as yet he
stated, but it is said that the present
temporary organization with Samuel
Spencer at it's head will be continued for
another six months, and that possibly in
June next Mr.. Cleveland will be elected
president.

THE HAYTIEN TROUBLE
All Northern Ports BIOckaded in Violation OF
International Law

All Northern Ports BlOckaded in Violation of
international Law.
NEW YORK, Nov. 16.-Measenger 81 Co.,
of Maiden Lane, received a letter from
the captain Of one of their vessels at
Port-au Prince, yesterday, and in view
of the serious nature of the communica-
ton they have forwarded it to the state
department al Washington, with the
request that Secretary Bayard order
another gun boat down TO Hayti at
once. The Communication says the
northern ports are all blockaded in open
violation of the international law and
that the widest disorder prevails in
PorG-au- Prince. The steamer Hayden
Republic, the letter goes on TO state, was
seized as pirate and not as blockade
rUpner. The Haytiens wanted to shoot
all the officers and crew, but the foreign
consuls protested against this, and the
lives of the Americans were therefore
spared. There IS only one man-of-war
in Port-an Prince and she is flying a
French dag. There are seven American
vessels now detained in this port and
there is absolutely no defense in case tho
mob should take q notion to commit
depredatiOns. The schooner William
Jones, of Boston, was recently seized.
The Haytiens fred shot across her
bow, compelling her to heave TO, when
they boarded her and put the crew in
irons. They then towed the steamer to
PorJ-au- Prince, where she is detained as q
prize. This seizure was made seven
miles out to sea and the captain of the
William Jones has protested against this
illegal seizure to Minister Thompson

WHO Is THE WHITECHAPEL FIEND.
Chicago of Course Claims Him as One o.
her Citizens.

CHICAGO, Nov. 16.-A sensational story
was printed this morning from Elgin,
Ills, tending to connect crazy man
named George Hutchinson former
patient at the Elgin hospital for the in
sane, with the London Whitechapel
butcheries, which have Mortified
the world. The story was to
the effect that Hutchins0 On had escaped
from Elgin hospital, had been re-captured
and sent to Kankakee hospital, and es-
Gaping from there had come to Chicago
and murdered women of class to which
belonged the victims of Wbitechapel
ghoul, He was again arrested. so goes
the story, and returned to Kankakee hos
pital, from which he afterward escaped,
having now been four years at large.
The detectives of the Chicago police
department have no knowledge OF the
preparation of a crime such as the one
described, and have no record or photo
graph of man named George Hutchin-
son. Lieut.. Elliot, who was seen this
morning, said: 81 don't think there
can be enything in the story. I do not
remember such case or any record of it,
There is no picture in the rogue's gallery
TO my knowledge of any man named
George Hutchinson, and I never heard of
any murder under the circumstances
named. However, if there is any truth
in the story it might prove good clew
to the identity of the Whitechapel muir
derer. We will look it up"

Qufncy-Mrs. King Receives Attentions OF
Other Men,
CHICAGO, Nov. IA Times special
from Quincy, ILL.,, says in substance:
Henry w. King, or Mr.. LIE Garde, as he
was called here, was we'll known in this
city. He came here in 1886 bringing
with hin a very stylish and hand
some woman who was known
as Mrs. Libbie LIE Garde. A two year old
child was also with them, and it was un-
derstood that it was the child of a dead
sister of the woman. They all boarded
at house on Sth street. King, how
ever, always came here on the
Saturday night train from Chicago and
remained over Sunday and returned to
Chicago Monday morning. The couple
removed from place to place for some
we'll defined reason. Mrs. LeGarde soon
began to receive attentions of other men.
She was beautiful woman and always at
tracted attention when she appeared on
the streets. When she left it was known
that she went to Chicrgo.
