A truly alarming state OF things is as
closed by the arrests made in Chicago yester-
day. There is a good deal Of secrecy MAIN
tanned about the matter, because further ar
sests are contemplated, but the statements Oh
Police Inspector Bonfeld indicate that there
was deep-laid plot to take the life Of every
body prominently concerned in bringing the
Haymarket murderers to justice. The intend
ed victims included Judge Grinnell, Judge
Gary and Inspector Bonfeld, and the Board Of
Trade Building was to be blown up. shrewd
detective work has cut short this scheme Of
vengeance. There seems to be no way OF deal

Apparently the Republican members OF the

pected to have bill ready to submit to the
adjourned caucus at 8 o'clock this morning.
This is rapid work. and the Legislature may be

POOR BoBERT GARRETT T!
How the Unfortunate Mlllionatr
Spends His Time 1T Ringwood,
\. j.

PATERSON, y. }. Dec. Mrs. Robt.
Garrett has concluded to follow the
physicians advice, and will remain
with her unfortunate husband at Ring
wood till spring. Ol Wednesday, Dr5.
Allen, Mclean and Hamilton held a
consultation with DR.. Jacobs, and they
concluded it would be unwise to remove
Mr.. Garrett now, Notwithstanding the
patient shows signs Of Improvement.
His daily life has not varied for many
weeks. lie occupies suite OF lhree
rooms, the windows OF which are
barred with iron. Three nurses are with
him day and night, and these with the
doctors are the only persons allowed to
see him. When tie weather is mild, he
is taken out for 4 drive, and upon these
occasions he is allowed few minutes
conversation with his wife. When shut
up for days he asks to see her, but is
told she has gone away. He then has
paper and envelopes bought, and for
hours he writes letters and kilograms
to her, and to friends in Baltimore and
New York Those TO his wife are hail
ded her in her room, and she replies
by mail. The others are destroyed.
Mr.. Garrett dresses with faultless
care, and spends hours over his toilet.
lie talks continually, principally on
business matters, ut times nationally,
and then again in rambling, sense
less manner. When out driving he halls
every one along Ihe road. Whenever
these people stop they are motioned
away, and this has led Garrett to be-
lieve all the people in Ringwood are
deaf and DUMB. Occasionally he out
wits his attendants and stops work
ingman about the place.
On Tuesday he hailed "Uncle Hass,'
blacksmith. The Old man becoming
frightened ran, and was followed by
Garrett. The latter soon overhauled
Hass, and was beating him violently,
when an attendant came up. Garrett
struggled with the man, and offered to
give $500, 600 to kick "Jncle Hass."
The establishment requires twenty
one servants, and costs on an average
s., 600 a month. Supplies are sent daily
from New York by express. There are
very few visitors now, it being the wish
Of the family to be alone.

IN his and brought sweetness to his
life and light to his home.
III I live till sundown I shall look
once more into her deep and loving
eyes and press her brown head once
more to my aching broast."
And he thought OF the old father
patient in prayer, bending lower and
lower every day under his load Of
sorrow and old age.
IF I but live till sundown 1 shall
see him again and wind my strong
arm about his feeble body, and his
hands shall rest upon my head while
the unspeakable healing Of MS bless
ing falls into my heart"
And he thought Of the little chill
dren that clambered on his knees
and tangled their little hands into
his heart-strings making to him such
music as the world shall not equal or
heaven surpass.
IF I live till sundown they shall
again find my parched lips with their
warm mouths and their little fingers
shall run once more over my face"
And he then thought Of his old
mother, who gathered these children
about her and breathed her old
heart afresh in their Brightness, and
attuned her old lips anew to their
prattle that she migat live till her
big boy came home.
IF live till sundown I will see
her again T and will rest my head at
my old place, on her knees, and weep
away all memory of this cesoiate
night. And the son of God, who
had died for men, bending from the
stars, put the hand that had been
nailed to the cross on ebbing life and
held on staunchly until the sun went
down and the stars came out and
shone down in the brave mans heart
and blurred in his glistening eyes,
and the lanterns Of the surgec rs
came, and he was taken from death
to life"

i MODERN TRIUMPH.
An Instrument That a Man Can Send His
Autograph by. Distance Making
no Difference at All.

CHICAGO, December 6.-From his
workshop in Highland park, Pro-
fessor Elisha Gray is at last able to
lay on the desk Of his correspondent
in milwaukee fac smile Of what
ever e puts or paper at this end OF
the wire. The finishing touches to
the tel-autograph Will be made with
in the next two weeks.
\ head company hes been forlncd
in New York, and subordinate com
panies are organizing over the coun-
try to put tho invention in use.
THE instrument now reproduces
each stroke Of tie pen OF pencil with
almost exact fidelity" said Prof. Gray
to reporter. 'The reproduction is
Just up to the point Of not being
original. The difference is enough
to prevent long distance forgery. At
the same time the copy at the other
end is 50 nearly ike what you write
that for al ordinary purposes it is
your handwriting"
Several specimens OF copy, when
compared with the original, showed
a slight waviacss Of line as the only
distinction. One could come much
nearer telling the reproduction of a
friends voice hy the perfected phone
graph from the voice itself than he
could tol-autographic copy of the
sano friends handwriting from his
true fist.
II expect the invcntion," con-
tinued Professor Gray, "at once to
supersede the telephone where ac-
curacy is required and over long dis
tances. It will also be taken up i'm
mediately as an adjunct to the tele-
graph in the transmission of mes
sages involving monetary transac-
tions. It can make no mistakes. 1t
tells at the other end just what you
write, word for word and line for
line. No operators or third, parties
intervene as Interpreters between the
two pieces Of paper. They stand as
fac-simile records, in the hands OF
transmitter and receiver, of what has
passed between the parties"
The machine is an artist as well as
penman. A girls head, the picture
of a representative mugwump, a
bunch of daises, and a suniiower were
only limited in faithfulness by the
execution of the araughtsman. An
illustrated telegram will not be one
Of the least novelties OF the future.
When Professor Grey's company
gets its lines established, the busi-
ness man will be able to impress on
his dispatches the authenticity of his
autographs. A resident of Jackson
vile during the fever can, at mo-
ment's notice, show his anxious wife
in the north that his hand is still
steady. The lover can put into the
swiftest message all the dots and
crosses and fourished his sweetheart
has learned to love. In short, the
tel-autograph is designed to do the
work of the postofice over the wires.

Around the Christmas Tree.

No home, especially where there
are children, is complete during the
holidays without a. Christmas tree.
The latter are grand, elaborate and
costly in the families of the rich; but
even householders of circumscribed
means can put up trees that will
sparkle and please for very trifing
outlay of money. Tinsel is cheap,
but it glitters, and children rarely
stop TO estimate values.
4 pleasing effect is produced by
brushing the prickly foliage OF the
tree here and there with mncilage
and then sprinkling common salt
upon it. Among the cheap, home
made ornaments to hang upon the
tree may be enumerated empty egg
shells adorned with decalcomanie
pictures, walnuts wrapped in tin foil
or gold paper, pine cones vanished,
then bronzed or sprinkled with salt;
eranberries or pop corn strung on
twine, gold paper chains, made by
pasting one tiny ring within the
other, colored tissue paper, tee. The
tissue paper is cut into long strips
about four inches wide and closely
cut but not entirely across. It is
then slightly dampened and held
over hot stove, when it curls up and
looks well when thrown here and
there across the tree.
It does not require much skill to
fashion balloons, gondolas, bird
cages, coaches, etc., out OF stiff paper,
and afterwards covering it with gilt
or silver paper. Figures cut from
advertising chromos or colored fash
ion plates can be fastened to the bal
looms, ETC., and really look very pref
ty. The same skill can adorn the
base of the tree in landscape style
with tiny picket fences, rustic bridges,
and old mill etc., using moss for
meadow, red sand for roadway, white
or silver sand for paths; twigs Of
cedar for trees, peace of looking
glass fringed with moss for lakelet,
etc. Bunches of ivy berries for the
trees can be variously colored by
first dipping them in a hot but weak
solution of starch, and then into blue,
red or yellow powders, or into pow
dered bronze.
Notices for the tree or around it
can be made Of white cotton wool.
The letters are cut out of card paper,
to which the wool is glued. When
dry, pull the wool 50 as to give it a
puffy or snowy appearance. Trim
the letters carefully afterwards and
fasten them on a dark back ground.
Letters decorated with rice have the
effect of carved ivory. Cut out the
letters on cartridge paper, cover
them with thick coating Of paste
or glue, and while yet warm drop
the grains of rice into it. The rice
grains can also be made to resemble
coral by dipping them into read seal
ing wax dissolved in alcohol. Let
ters covered with crumpled tinfoil
have good effect and resemble
frosted silver, or they can be made
of holly, and have a rich, cord like
appearance. The leaves are strung
with a needle upon twine of the
proper length, passing the needle
through the centre of each leaf
