All silvery sounds are mingling,
This merry, merry day.
With many a fieecy feather,
The snowfiakes dance together:
Here comes Kriss Kringle's weather,
In good Kriss kringle's way.
Eriss kringle's measures tripping
kriss Kringle's sweetness slipping,
The while his gifts we're clipping
From brave kriss kringle's tree
We set the candles burning,
Like stars and planets turning.
And every dream and yearnisg
There satisfied We see
Alone and solitary,
Aloof from elf and fairy,
It grew in forests airy
Through many season dim
To reach its day Of glory,
When winter woods were hoary,
To hear Kriss Kringle's story,
And dear Kriss Kringle's hymn
o tree that vearies Beveri
o tree that charms Us everi
o tree that lives foreveri
The blessed Christmas tree
Where love and kindness blending
Round up the years fair ending.
There heavens own beauty lending
Behold Kriss Kringle's tree

ALARM IN LONDON.

Runners nectIng the Management of the Bank of EngIaRd-There Have

 Advances-SOme Fault in the system.
 LONDON, Nov. 16.-In it's financial article to-day the Times says:
 Alarming rumors prevailed in the city yesterday. Reports have been current for days affecting the management of the Bank of England, also concerning the losses of the bank supposed to have been incurred owing to certain irregularities in regard to advances. These irregularities have not been denied. The inquiry is proceeding, but enough is known to prove that the losses are much less than alleged by reck- less scandal mongsrs."
 The Times believes the rumors that cer- tain directors of the bank are about to re- tire are without foundation in fact. The inspcial editorial says in conclusion:
 ''There must be some fault in 8 system under which the irregularities In question occurred. The bank ought to make known at once the facts concerning the public"

 Keep Them From Taking Fire.
 LONDON, Nov. 15-Fire started at 10 o'clock this evening in ". s. Thompson & Co.'s corset factory, AS and 4s Old Bailey, E. 0. It spread rapidly to the shop of the Crown Perfumery company, and thence to Lockhart's cocoa rooms and Blackie & Go 's publishing offices. Before the fremen could get we'll to work several other build ings had caught fire, and the rear of Gas sells publishing house was in flames.
 Shortly after II o'clock third of the frontage between Fleet and Prujeal square crashed down to the pavement. Bremen ran for their lives. Several barely escaped burial in the wreck. A column of flames shot up 200 feet, Illuminating the city and throwing into 1urid relief the dome of St. Pauls and the spires of many churches. Enormous crowds gathered in Newgate street and Ludgste hill.
 Twenty fire engines were kept at work throwing water on the buildings and the walls. The Old Bailey sessions house and Newgate prison were drenched with streams of water to keep them from taking fire. Several times the report that the prison had caught fire was started, but every time it proved to be false.
 The loss will amount to many thousands of pounds. The Csssels and the Blsokies, publishers, suffered considerable damage, but the bulk of their machinery and stock was not injured.

sANDBaGGED AND ROBBED.

A Daring and Sensational Robbery I'm
 an office Building i'm Chicago in
 Which she Robbers Get Away With
 Twenty Thousand Dollars.
 CHICAGO, Nov. 15.-John A. Drake, treasurer of the Indiana, Illinois and Iowa Railroad company was ssndbagged and robbed of $20, 900 in the office of the con- pany on the ninth floor of the Rookery building st 2 o'clock today. MT. Drake had the money in little hand satchel and was preparing to go out on the road to pay tine employees. He had first placed the cash in the valise, and was about to leave the office when two men stole up behind him aud felled him to the floor by several hard blows on the head.
 The treasurer was knocked nearly insen- sible, and ere he could move fiuger in de- fence, he alleges, the thieves tore the satchel from his hand and rushed out of the office, slamming the door as they went. They rode down in an elevator very un- conoernedly and made their escape. Mir. Drake notified the central station as soon as possible, and by 8 o'clock detectives were put to work on the case.
 It was the most daring, sensational rob- bery that has occurred in Chicago in many years. Occurring as 1t did in one of the best known office buildings in the city, in the very heart of the business district, the crime caused the greatest excitement. The early hour selected by the thieves Is all that prevented their immediate capture.
 It has been the custom of the treasurer to psy the employees of the road in checks. Had the custom been continued the start ling robbery would not have been attempt ed, in all probability. But within the past week the officials of the company decided to pay the men in currency. From the story told by Treasurer Drake 1t appears evident that the robbers knew of this change. In some way they learned that Mir. Drake intended to call at the office, get the money and take an early train. They must have followed him into the building, around the north corridor of the ninth floor, and waited until he had secured the money from the vault. Then they sprang on him, struck him several swift blows on the head with 8 weapon, presumably 8 sandbag, and when he sank to the floor insenEible seized the precious hand bag and successfully escaped into the street. Where they went then the detec- tiues are trying to find out.
 Every effort was made to keep the rob- bery 8 secret. MT. Whitehead, general agent of the road, said this afternoon that the amount of money stolen was about $20, ,000 MT. Drake has been with the h. diana, Illinois and Iowa railroad ever since 1t was organized. He and his father, the president, are part owners of the property.
