complaint against Henry a. Rawson,
father of Edith Rawson, whose death,
1t is claimed, resulted from criminal
neglect, upon which the police magis-

run over by truck. A physician was
called, but the parents refused to let
him see the child and sent for a Chris

from the shock and neglect. The war

Mrs. Rawson. She was much surprised
when she learned that her husband
would be arrested for doing what he
considered his duty towards the child.

Merry Christmasi


Tomorrow will be the greatest day in
the year. A double holiday, with Satur-
day just before; day begun with well
filed stockings and hearty good wishes
from everybody to everybody, gloriously
kept up with plumpudding and turkey,
and the gathering of clans. crowned
at night by the lighted trees. Christmas
is the one universal holiday of Christen-
dom. Tomorrow every man will cele-
brate his Independence Day from work,
from sorrow, from care; tomorrow will
be the Labor Day that every toiler will
keep. tomorrow, as the family unites
around the Christmas table OF the Christ
mas tree. will be the day Of silent
Thanksgiving for all the years blessing.
The good people of Jersey have put
their whole souls and the best part of
their pocketbooks on the coming festival.
The crowds that go scurrying down the
shopping streets in all this bitter cold, or
block the sidewalks in front of the show
windows, tell what sort of Christmas
our people will have. The children cluster
around Ewald's collection of toys, the
Boston. T. c. Brown and Van Anglen's
or Ringle's train of cars, and the young
couples look with suspicious interest at
George e. Watson's show windows full
OF furniture. The boats go over to New
York packed and come home more
packed. Even the double-deckers are
more than filed Everybody seems
happy and Christmassy. and the gener al
air of expectancy that surrounds this
doubly hallowed eva. can bs felt by the
very smallest girl who has hidden mann
mas Christmas present In mammals top
bureau drawer.
Two results have arisen from the COM
ing of Christmas on Sunday. The
music in the churches is Of a higher
order. and in all on the same day. since
there is no diversity of opinion as to
celebrating the Sunday after, orthe Sun
day before. The Programmes appended
viii show what is in store
There will be many secular celebra-
tions in all parts of the town. Tomorrow
evening the GreenyiIle Turn verein will
have Christmas celebration at Metro
