EVEN THE PRISONERS
Appreciate the Fact That Christmas
is u Time of JOY.

Christmas ives observed at the District
Jail and the work house by making 1t what
is known to the inmates as Visitors day"
At both prisons the relatives and friends
of the unfortunate incarcerated ones were
permitted to visit them and also hand in
to them all the good things brought by
them. The privilege was the means of
bringing to each prison a very large num-
Der of such visitors. very few prisoners
being forgotten. Those who were so I'M
fortunate 20 have no visitor call upon
them were not entirely neglected how
ever. for out of the abundance brought to
their more fortunate fellows the un-
visited ones received not a little. No serv-
ices were held at either institution, and at
the jail nothing beyond the ordinary bill
of fare was served. At the work house and
poor house, however, Intendant Stouten-
burgh served turkey and cake to every in
mate, and no labor was required of the
prisoners In the work house.
A delegation from the Society of st. Vim
cent de Paul visited the jail and brought
delcacies. Mr.. and Mrs. Mcfarland also
gave pleasure to some thirteen boys.

When the cold weather does come IL win

OF the city than ii would have pinched
yesterday. Messrs. Saks a. Company in
accordance with their annual custom, gave
away that many good, warm cape overcoats
this morning at their store. corner of eth
street and Market space. Tickets en-
titling the bearers to these gifts were dis
tributed through the schools last week.
care being taken to divide the number pro-
portionately between the white and colored
children. In this way very many needy
cases were reached. The crowd at Saks'
this morning demonstrated this fact amply
IL proof were needed. The boys began 10
gather early, though the notice had Teen
given that the coats would not be given
out until IL O'Clock. By 10 all of the doors
of the great establishment were besieged
by eager youths their mothers and i'm
many cases their sisters. Big brothers
TOO came along to see that the little fel-
lows were not robbed of their tickets by
the gamins that hung around like birds OF
prey.
1t was not hard to fit the crowd reason
ably well. OF course there was no measur-
ing, no taking in OF seams to make the
garment follow the figure" and best of
ALL no kicking, no protestations that the
cutter did not know his business, no threats
to change taiiors. 1t was a crowd that
was very easily satisfied, as far as style
and fashion CO. There was no question
about the latest cut, no consultation of
plates. The little men marched up to the
counter, deposited their tickets in the hands
OF a large man with a brown mustache,
gave their ages and received the appro-
pirate coats of that stage of life to which
they belonged, and went home rejoicing
or course they did not appreciate their
GIFTS as much today as they will later. when
the north winds come shipping and biting
along, and the snow flies Mr. Saks and
Mr.. Henning stood smilingly by and watch
ed the proceedings with as much of the
air of Santa Clauses they could COM
mand, and determined to keep up their
generous custom as long as they can.
