themes and baby drill of the little

our community may justly feel proud,

Mr.. Samuel Michaels has again
laid us under obligations for fine
Christmas turkey. Our old friend is
so mindful of the printers needs
that his presence in the sanctum,
which is by no means seldom, almost
invariably means good cheer in some
way or other for the editor and his
family. May his indeed be merry
Christmas and happy New Year.
and may he live long to enjoy the
pleasures of these joyous seasons.

It must be noticed, however, that
their Sabbath begins at six p m. on
Saturday, when the church-bell is tolled,
and ends on Sunday at the same hour.
Formerly no vessel could leave port be-
tween these hours. Marriage cancels
every other engagement, so that there
can be no breach of promise brought
against man when once he is married.
The inhabitants have strange GUS
tom on New Years Eve. They then
peram bulate the streets with broken
pots and pans, which they place before
their friends doors, and the man who
has the largest heap before his cottage
is considered the most popular.
The people rarely lock their doors,
but when they do they leave the key
where it can be reached by any one
seeking admission.
The fsher-girls bait the hooks and
carry them in a large wooden basket
beach. This is by no means light
burden; yet they may be seen cheerful
ly chatting with their companions as
they march onward with wooden shawls
over their heads. The streets bear En-
glish names, as Leopold, Berlin, Church,
Augusta, Thames, Short, O Brien, Prince
of Wales, Princess street, etc. but the
natives have their own names for them.
Heligoland has small prison or lock-
up, but they rarely lock any one up. as
they do not care to board tie prisoner.
There is also a small cottage hospital
ready for use if necessary, but patients
are few and far between. There is also
a poor-house. Here poor people live
rent free. The plan adopted Is for
parents and children to go before the
magistrate, when the former resign any
little property they may possess to their
children, who in their turn promise to
find them in food When the husband
dies the wife takes his property, and at
her decease it is equally divided be-
tween the children
TT ere are no horses Or donkeys on
Heligoland. for they would be useless
there; but there are eight COWS and
about thirty sheep tethered and MIXED,
the milk being considered superior to
that of COWS. There are three police
men. the junior being known by the ex-
ira amount of gold lace worn by him.
The ooast-guard consists; of five Eng
lishmen. who are not permitted to act
as constables. There are also sixteen
active native coastguards, and sixteen
in the reserve. When there is q wreck
the whole island claims the salvage.

TIREI.Lo,s STORY.
He Claims That Curley Did the
killing.

WILKEsBARRE, Pa, Dec. S0.-John
Tirello, the man who is supposed to
have yesterday murdered Michael Cur
ley. and wife and Andrew Kodak in
Broderlck's Patch. and who escaped the
officers, has been apprehended at Jer-
myn, a large mining town in Lacka-
wanna county, twenty-eight miles north
OF this city. 1t is asserted that he would
make no statement regarding the affair,
and nothing definite has as yet been as
certained here. The belief is gaining
ground that Tirello is not the real muir
derer. Among public men who have
had much to do with Hungarians it is
said that Hungarian will run at the
sight of blood, and especially flee from
the scene of any eScapade which is liza
bic to result in his being called upon as
witness. 1t is the general belief that
Tirello is the murderer. The prisoner,
Tirello. arrived here to-day under guard
of detectives. and was taken to the
county prison to await the verdict of
the coroners jury. An Associated Press
reporter was allowed to talk to the pris-
oner. Tirello said that Curley shot his
wife, then shot the hungarian, Kodak,
and then shot at him, but missed him,
and then blew his own brains out. Ii
relic says he then ran away, fearing
that he might be killed by mob before
he could explain who did the killing.
When asked the cause of the shooting,
he remarked: ME don't know"

LARIMoRE, Nd. Dec. 30.-The home
of Supt. C. H. jerks, of the Great

the mystic words which united in mat
rimony Miss Lottie Q. jerks, the only
daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. c. II. jerks,
and Charles G. Shapleigh, of Stephen,
Mimi. The immediate relatives of both
parties and a few of the most intimate
neighbors of the brides family were
present, and left with the bride and
groom many elegant, choice and costly
presents. After the delicate repast
was served the party attended the
newly married couple to the Great
Northern depot. and at SOC bade them
'God speed' as they were bowled East
ward in Superintendent jerks private
car. Miss jerks has been favOrite in
society circles here. and was beloved of
all her many friends, and so her depart
ure from Larimore is attended with re-
grets. Mr.. Shapleigh is an enterpris-
ing and worthy young man who stands
high in the respect of his associates,
and he is building up substantial and
lucrative business in the lumber line.
The happy pair will make their home

"PIpED" BY POLICE.
The Merchants Exchange Bank
Robbers Identified.

CHICAGO, Dec. 30.-The four men
who were connected with the robbery
of the Merchants Exchange bank at
South Chicago yesterday, are still
locked up at the Hyde Park station.
John Corbett, Harry Featherstone and
Frank Bennett, the men who actually
committed the robbery, have been iden-
titled as the men who, in an equally
bold manner. entered the Allerton pack
ing house at the stockyards, Dec. 2.
and robbed Cashier Osier OF $500.
1t now transpires that the police
had a spy in communication
with the robbers and were kept
fully informed of their plans. The orig
inal arrangement was TO rob the bank
tomorrow, but the gang became suspi-
cious of the police "stool pigeon" and
hurried matters. Charles E. Mullin, the
man who drove the butchers wagon in
which the robbers continued their flight
after the horse with which they started
became exhausted, claims that he knew
nothing of the robbers. and that he was
forced at the muZZle of a revolver to aid
them in their flight. The police. on the
other hand, claim to have evidence that
he was an accomplice, and that he
drove up and down in the neighborhood
where the robbers overlook him for two
hours previous to the arrival, evidently
waiting for them.
