dent Mitchell of the school board, Supervising
Principal Jsnney and Mr.. Hawking began this
morning the distribution of the donations
which the children Of Georgetown had brought
to the school through the suggestion OF TuE
STARS Santa Claus Club Packages of all sizes
and descriptions containing::almost everything
in the grocery line were neatly arranged along
one side of the room, while on the other we're
the contributions of clothing and toys There
wa an abundant supply Of stock, which spoke
very well for the generosity of the school chill
dren who live across Rock creek and we're
anxious to show their kind and charitable
hearts had "a feeling Of sympathy for those
whose condition in life is not fortunate enough
to allow OF them enjoying the happy time Of
Christmas without the assistance Of their friends.
The work of distribution in that division was
admirably arranged. Besides the names Of the
needy that the children brought in a commit
tee of ladies, composed of Mrs. MCGOWAN and
Misses Moore. Jackson Hedrick and Donovan,
thoroughly canvassed the entire city Of George
town TO discover the most worthy to whom to
give the donations. After this work was SOM
pleted list was made out and the persons
notified to come to the school this morning.
MEssRs. MICHEL AND JASNEY.
There Mr.. Mitchell and Mr.. Janney attended
to the distribution and marked of from the list
those who obtained their packages, In a num-
Der of they were unable to get to the
school or could not carry the package away.
Nhen such contingency arose the name OF the
person written the package and large
wagon, which was obtained for the purpose,
brought into and the donation was
taken to the home in the wagon. Very many
deserving people we're supplied in this way, as
they were willing to be known az the recipients
of aid at the hands of the charitably disposed
children. One Of the beautiful features Of this
Christmas offering to the poor is that almost
the entire contributions have been at the hands
OF children. There is SO much to be done in
the Georgetown district that the distribution
cannot be finished today or tomorrow. The
good work will, however, go until all the
donations have been disposed Of all the de-
serving ones are supplied. great deal will be
done next week.
The donations amounted to 307 packages Of
groceries, orders for 100 pairs Of shoes for
children, orders for 200 pairs OF stockings, 200
half-pound packages Of candy 200 half-pound
packages Of nuts and 100 oranges. The groceries
consisted of flour, hominy, meal, beans, sugar,
coffee. tea. four barrels of potatoes and some
fuel and a large amount IF clothing. The
groceries were divided equally and placed in
large paper bags. In each Of these bags were
box OF candy, package Of nuts and an
orange.
To President Mitchell and Mr.. Janney IL due
much moro than credit. They have worked

A Model Chicago Location.

A syndicate Of successful and wealthy
Chicagoans have just arranged to put Shell
don Heights, model residence location, on
the market. Their reasons for delaying
giving investors chance to share in the
enormous profits (Which will result from
the settling up and occupation Of Sheldon
Heights) Is that their improvements have
just been completed. It has taken a years
time and large amount of money to ma
cademize all the Streets lay stone sidewalks
around every block; put pure water in every
street; plant trees, and in fact make the
model residence location of Chicago. This
Is what has been accomplished with Shell
don Heights. Lots are now being sold upon
prices and terms that make Sheldon Heights
property the best possible purchase in Chi.

to call up the tin plate bill when the forti6-
cations appropriation bill is disposed of BY
the House. The consideration OF the tin
plate bill will probably occupy several days.
so it is doubtful if any other tariff measure

conference reports are expected, and, if pre-
sented, will occupy the attention Of the
House after the tariff bill is acted upon.
