A WORK OF ART.
Beautiful Christmas Designs in
the Rotunda of the West.

The rotunda of the West hotel last
evening was adorned with one of the
most artistic triumphs that has ever
emanated from the art of the caterer.
The piece de resistance, for such it was,
occupied a position in the main lobby of
the hotel, and in direct view of the
office. The design was on raised daiS,
and it represented an Egyptian barge,
such as Cleopatra might have had when
she wooed Marc Antony. The design is
worked out III white sugar, the sea
being initiated with jelly. On each
side it is propelled by four miniature
pigs, also made of white sugar, while
shoat. with four little attendants from
pigdom in the bow and stern of the boat.
On each corner of the diaS stately pyra-
mids arose of different colored confec-
lions. on the apex of which deerS of
creamy white reared their noble crests.
Another rich and elaborate piece rep
resented a castle made of snowy stuff,
on the ground floor of which are two
figures symbolical of the courtship of
Paul and Mime (St. Paul and Minneap-
oliS), which bears the legend "a
Christmas Dream in the West"
Both pieces are real works of art
AMI they were the subject of admiration
by all the guests and visitors to the
hotel. They are the work of NJ Pillauet,
the chef of the hotel, and Fred Meyer.
The Christmas menus of the Mime
apolis hotels have been gotten up on a
scale of regal magnificence, the cards
per Sc of both the Nicollet and West
being especially beautiful and ornate,
while their contents are such as to
tempt the appetite of Lucullus.

INTERESTING RELICS.
Lafayette's Cane, Blackhawk's
Tomahawk and an Antique Pow
der Horn

Tomahawk and an Antique Pow
der Horn.
Hartford Correspondence New York Sun.
A spry little old gentleman, with a
rudy face and carrying an odd-lOoking,
old-fashloned walking stick, hoped
into the union station In this town the
other day, and as he ambled across the
floor of the big room he tapped the
floor gingerly with the stick, as if it was
valuable. 1t is very much so, and on
account of the associations that cluster
about it," as the social orator observes
when he and his friends cane gentle
man. The old gentleman's name is
Hubbard, and he is elghty-seven years
old. He belongs to the famous old
Hubbard family Of Hartford. The cane
used to belong to Gen. Lafayette, of
France, and he presented it to Mr.. Hub
bard's father at some time during his
second visit to America.
The first Mr.. Hubbard was drummer
In the drum corps that led in the great
procession Of people that escorted Gen.
Lafayette about the streets of Hartford,
and the lively style in which he handled
the sticks was rough on drum heads and
made windows rattle, but it sent Lafay-
cites thoughts flying back to la belle
France. He called the bright young
America drummer to the side of his
carriage, assured him that he was fit to
drum before king, shook hands with
him and left his cane in the drummer's
fingers. MIR. Hubbard treasured the
stick, and left word with his family just
before he died that it must always re-
main as an heirloom of the Hubbards.
1t is of orange wood, light and springy,
with an ivory top, and its upper part is
a sheath, inclosing a slender, shining
dagger six inches long. 1t is $50 years
old. Mr.. Hubbard always carries his
cane when he goes away from his home,
which Is at Montpelier, Vt.
Another most Important and valuable
relic, that played leading part in
American history, has just fallen to
the lot of DR.. W. S. G. Perkins, Of
Norwich, it being no less than the toma-
of the Sac and Fox Indians, welded in
the battles against the Americans as an
ally of the British in the War of 1912.
The tomahawk. with double head, is
of iron, with a short handle of wood, in
cased almost wholly IN iron, and that
is pointed like an ice pick at its upper
end. The edge of the blade is of we'll
forged steel, and the reverse side of the
head is pointed, sharply taperlpg,
Misunderstanding weapon. The toma-
hawk is an heirloom in DR.. Perkins
family.
Another relic of the doctor is pow
der horn, extensively and beautifully
carved with figures and map of the
Hudson valley in early times, that has
also carved inscriptions: "EIazel
Carey's horn, date Crown Point, Oct,
81, 1859" The Battery and old fort at
New York, with maps of Long Island,
East River, the Hudson. Albany, Still
water, Fort Edward, Lake George, Fort
Johnson aud Schenectady, are depicted
with geographical accuracy and artistic
skill and clearness in the carvings.

A CHRISTMAS SERMON
Preached Yesterday by Rev. Will

Yesterday morning at ST. Andrews
church Mr.. Wilkinson preached SER
mon appropriate to the Christmas sea-
SOB. He said: When Charles the
Twelfth, of Sweden, first saw war he
was young man, not twenty years old.
AS he heard the noise of battle, he said,
THAT is my music in the future. and it
was for about eighteen years. When
men have read the life of Christ, seen His
absolute self-sacrifice for men, they have
caught something OF His spirit, and in
instances too many to tell, they have
said, This is a lesson [ too NAV
learn, and by it bless my brother man.
How profoundly the life which began
at Bethlehem has impressed the world
no man can estimate, but IN its gracious
light the mean man at Christmas grows
for once generous, and the sad man for
gets his sadness, the poor man is made
glad, old feudS are forgotten, good will
is supreme.
For trends ana kinsmen meete todaye,
And from all hertes is put aWaye

A near ye yule logs cheerful light,
Lest Ill betalle such surlie wight.

La Claus here is the children's king. At

1t is ever bright, good-natured and

as snow In summer, so truly and thor
oughly has the Christ-idea of forgetting

others taken hold of the minds of the
people. 1t is impossible to tell the good
OF this to men. We differ about many
things and in many of the views of re-
llglon IN its abstract teachings, but in
Its mighty lessons of practical worth we
do not differ greatly. If we could call a
congress OF the men and women who to-
day provide thousand familieswith din

would have Babel-propose that thew

a unit. The reflex influence of all this
is not ended with the day; men will
come to See how much better are deeds
OF love than arguments for creed. So
we shall see that that which was bless

good to the rich, and an era of depres-
sion and poverty be means of public
benefit such as no prosperity has it in
Its power to give. The sounds we hear,
the sights we see at Christmas, are the
outcome of the religion we love and of
the life and death of the Christ we
serve.

OR ELSE HE WOULD GET HURT.

DR.. Hoyt Defends the Law and
Order League in His Prelude
Last Evening, and Says the
People Must Thank 1t and Not
the Administration for Enforc-
ing the Sunday Law.
Rev. DR.. Hoyt. of the First Baptist
church, keeps pegging away at the
mayor. In the prelude to his sermon
last evening, DR.. Hoyt- defended the
Law and Order league. and declared
that it was necessity in the city. He
thought that all good citizens ought TO
be allowed to trust to the sanctity of
officials oaths and rest secure that the
laws would be administered, but such
did not seem to be the case in Mime
apolis. The mayor had declined to eX-
ecute the Sunday closing law. and al
though he had revoked the license
of notorious saloon in which a
robbery occurred, yet the saloon
resumed business again under trans
ferred license. DR.. Hoyt questioned
the legality of transferring licenses.
1He uOClOr Uuen redu JFOm Glo OIul-
nance forbidding concert, operate, or
theatrical performances in place
where liquor is sold, and added that the
Jumbo" would not have closed its
doors as soon as it did but for the efforts
of the law and order league. DR.. Hoyt
paid a tribute to Mayor Eustls for the
charitable work he was engaged in yes
terday-that of overseeing the distribu-
ton of food TO the poor families-and
said it was noble and beautiful service,
but that the people must thank the
law and order league, not the adminis-
tration, that the saloons are not open
Sunday. The press might sheer at
these so-called crusaders, but all true
hearts should doff their hats to them.
In conclusion DR.. HoYt read the follow
ing threatening letter, sent to him upon
his return from visit to the chief of
police:
Let the Jumbo question alone If you
don't want to get hurt. X. o. P"
DR.. Hoyt said that this letter did not
cause him the slightest anxiety, and
was only one of many written by the
ignorant supporters of the saloons.

BOUND TO HANG HIMSELF.
A PRISONER At THE lookup MIKES
TWO ATTEMPTS.
SAVED BY A MERE CHANCE.

John Quinn, Arrested In a House
of Ill Fame for Shooting At
One Of the Inmates, Hangs
Himself in HIS Cell With a
Silk Handkerchief-Cu Down
in Time.
If John Quinn had taken his overeoat
with him to his cell IN the lookup last
night his body would be lying on slab
i'll the county morgue today. But Mr..
Quinn happened to leave that overcoat
in the outer room Of the station, and
thereby hangs tale.
Quinn was arrested in house of i'll
fame at ZIG Second avenue south. He
had some misunderstanding with one of
the inmates of the house, and when the
girl started to leave the room Quinn
whipped out a bulldog revolver and
fired one shot. The bullet just grazed
the girls clothing and buried itself in
the wall. The girl fell down and
screamed. Quinn ran out Of the
room and down stairs TO the
front door, but in his eX-

chain which secured the door. In the
meantime Officers Qualey and Butler,
who were passing by, were hailed by a
waiter employed in the house. When
they opened the front door they swang
it back far enough to squeeze Quinn up
against the wall, where he stood with
his revolver in his right hand, but per-
fectlY helpless. The officers took the
gun away from Quinn, and ten minutes
later landed him in the lookup. On the
way to the station he said his real name
was Kline, and that he had a wife and
children. After Officer Maloney, the
jailer, had searched Quinn, he conduct
ed him to cell in the rear of the lock-
up. Returning to the office, the Jaller
booked Quinn. About ten minutes
afterwards he noticed Quinn's overcoat
lying On bench. The jailer picked it
up and went back to Qulnn's cell with it.
AS he neared the cell, the officer heard
strangling sound and, looking i'll, he
beheld Quinn suspended by a silk hand
kerchief wound around his neck and
tied to bar overhead. Quinn was I'M
conscious. The jailer opened the cell
door and cut the handkerchief. at the
same time summoning the other Off
GERS. They succeeded in reviving
Quinn inside of three minutes, much to
that gentleman's displeasure. ae was
then transferred to front cell, right
opposite the door leading into the
cell room, and the door left
open so that the prisoner could
be seen. Twenty minutes later, when
the jailor looked in, he noticed that
Quinn was moving about in the back
part of the cell. The officer opened the
cell door, and discovered that Quinn
had made a moose of his suspenders and
part of his shirt, and was trying to
throw one end of his improvised rope
over the bars above him.
This time the officers concluded that
Quinn really wanted to die, so they put
him in a straight jacket. Quinn Is about
thirty-three years old. He had been
drinking some. but was not very per
ceptibly Intoxicated.

Lifting of the Scheig Plant.
The statement that Detective Hoy re-
