Nearly 20, 600 babies were cared for dur
ing the past Summer by the Sick
Babies Fund. Fully $4,000 children Will
have to be looked after by the Christ
mas-Tree Fund. Five thousand dollars
will make Il und of an ample proper
tlon to give each one of these wards of
the charitable, something nice in the
way Of TOYS and candies, and something
serviCeable besides. Very little money Is
made to do a great deal by the gqentie-
men and ladies' who have charge or the

for u boy or girl, and surely there are
few men, women or children not abso-
lutely poor themselves, who cannot af-
ford to give a dime towards increasing
the popularity of Santa Claus on Christ
mas Day.
The old friends of the Fund have not
forgotten it. Here Is one who has been
on Santa Claus's staff for several years,
and who becomes fonder of the work
every year. He is the well-known florist
at l69 West Fifty.seventh street oppo-
site the Carnegie Music Hall.

"The Evening World" is grateful to
Mr.. Shaw and will avail itself of his
very kind offer again. Santa Claus's
pets should give three big cheers for the
nan who grows and gives them theiI

Rarely IL a story in opera so clearly
and so relevantly told as In "Philemon
and Baucis." Messrs. Barber and Care
use none of the INVESTIGATIONS that OBJ
scure the significance of most operate
works. Their characters move persistent
" through a series Of events, and the
end Is not delayeu. Philemon and
Baucis, Ovid's aged couple of Phrygia,
extend their hospitality to Jupiter and
Vulcan, in disguise. These gods have
been so frlgidly received by the other
inhabitants that they hail the hospitality
of Philemon and Baucis. In return they
give them back their youth. In the
second act the old couple are once more
in Joyous juvenility. BauCis, however,
being young, Is also coquettish, and Jupi-
ter is so charmed with her that he be-
gins a Irritation. BauCrs is coy, and
Philemon grows angry and insolent as
he notes the coquetry of his rejuvenated
wife. She loves her husband, however;

sidewalks Must Not Be DISTRACTED

that has for some time been agitating the people
OF the Twenty-ffth Precinct. 1t appears that
Capt. Strauss recently instructed his subordinate4
to keep the men moving c'crooks'' and ~'Ioaters'
he called them, and not allow citizens to engage
in conversation on the sidewalk for more than
a few minutes. The carrying out OF such in
s~tructions is naturally a source of considerable
annoyance and inconvenience to the respectable

anxious to know II a police captain has a legal
right TO curtail their liberty after this fashion.
