Spent Christmas
Quietly at Home in the MorninE-The
Go to Lakewood Tomorrow.

The White House was closed to visitors
today, but the front doors were opened at
frequent intervals during the day to permit
the entry Of packages of presents for the
President, Mrs. Cleveland and the two
babies. Most Of these were brought by ex-
pressmen. but a number of them were
brought by their donors in person in their
own carriages. The President and Mrs.
Cleveland remained quietly indoors with
their children all day.

They did not go to church today, having
attended Christmas service at the First
Presbyterian Church yesterday. AS q mat

row.
Private Secretary Thurber held forth in
the public part Of the mansion today under
the protection Of a new feature in White
House rules-the exclusion Of all comers
from the executive offices. 1t was under
stood that this new order OF things was
adopted to shield Mr.. Thurber from an
swering embarrassing questions concerning
the probability that the President and his
family will leave Washington tomorrow
morning to spend the balance OF the holi-
days at Lakewood.
Although there are asons for the belief
that the President and Mrs. Cleveland will
go to Lakewood tomorrow 1t is impossible
to obtain definite Information on that sub

The new tactics adopted for the army

HOW TO GIVE TO THE POOR.
The Way Subscribers to The Star Car
Help the Relief Work.

The Way Subscribers to The Star Can
Help the Relief Work.
In every home where The Star goes today
the appeal of the poor has already been
heard. The need IS great 1t is not neces-
ers Of their duty. for in that they have
never failed when opportunity has been
given to perform 1t. The Star does, how
ever. propose to its readers a plan by which
the public movement inaugurated for the
relief Of the poor may be greatly aided. and
those who have little to give as well as
those who have much may share in the
good work. All will be needed, the little
contributions as well as the big ones.
The next three months will be hard ones
for the poor.
Let every subscriber to The Star or every
household into which The Star goes decide
upon an amount to be given each month for
three months to the relief fund. The
amount should be placed in an envelope, to-
gether with the name Of the giver. and
calls to make his monthly collection. The
amount received will be turned over each
month to the citizens relief committee and
the names Of the givers published.
Let no one hesitate to give because the
amount he Is able to give is small II it be
only a dime. and there are thousands Of
other dimes put with it. it will go toward
makirg a handsome sum- Give a dime,
give a quarter. give q dollar. give some
thing.

small contributions has just been well IL

Transient Islands In the Pacific

Prom the San Francisco Examiner.
The western Pacific Is a great place for
islands that emerge from waves unexpect-
edly and as suddenly disappear. Sometimes
they come up and stay, but more often
they have an existence merely temporary.

landmark. by which he has been accus-

CHICAGO. Dec. 25.-By tomorrow night
Chicago is likely to be in the midst Of a
bread famine. The executive board Of the
Bakers Union Saturday night ordered a
strike. The Chicago Bakers Association
has now taken up the fight. and in leading
factories when the men report for duty
they will be confronted with the alternative
of going to work under new rules to be laid
down by the bosses or giving up their posi-
tions. There is no doubt which action will
be taken. as the men have already placed
themselves on record. This resulted from
the discharge of a number of men. Both
sides claim to be in the right, and both as

The New Minister From Venezuela 4,
Well-knOwn I'm This City,

Don Jose Andrado. the new Venezuelan
minister, is well known in this city. In
1880 he was a member of the commission

and in 1SS9-9O he spent several months here
as delegate from his republic to the Pan
American congress. Mr.. Andrado says that
the relations between the United States and
Venezuela are perfectly satisfactory and
amicable. But one unadjusted international
claim now exists. that of the Venezuelan
Steam Transportation Company of New
York against Venezuela, wherein the COM
pany ask about a million dollars for the
seizure of their vessels and confiscation of
their franchise. A treaty has been nego-
tiated for the appoin tment OF a commits
sion to investigate and pass upon this
claim. and Ii will be submitted to the Ven-
