LITTLE HOPE OF GETTING ALBBRTs
New York Authorities VIII Not Give
Him Up. Fe

There is very little likelihood of Chief
Murphy succeeding In getting Albert Al
berts, now confined in the Tombs, New
York, to this city, until after he has
served the term Judge Fitzgerald will
impose upon him. Chief Murphy was
in New York yesterday. and found at
least forty Harlemites ready TO make
charges against Alberts An Of them
had found property he had stolen from
their homes Governor Werts has signed
the necessary requisition papers, and and
everything depends. upon what action
Governor Clover will take.
This NJ rning Inspector, Large made
public letter written by. .Alberts in
his cell in the Tombs to his wife. 1t
tells her in what pawn shops he pawned
her wedding ring, silk dress and other
articles he took from her, and advises
her to leave Jersey City, where their
name is so disgraced and try and sup-
port herself and child.
Mrs. Alberts is heartbroken over her
husbands arrest. She intends to take
his advice and leave Jersey City as
soon as he is sentenced.

IDIOTS IMPROVED AND CURED.

Idiots have been improved, educated
and even cured; not one in a thousand
has been entirely refractory to treat
ment; not only one in a hundred who has
not been made more happy and healthy;
more than so per cent. have been taught
to conform a social and moral law,
and rendered capable of order of good
feeling and of working like the third
of man: more than 40 per cent. have
become capable of the ordinary trans
actions of life, under friendly control
and of understanding moral and social
distractions of working like two-thirds
of a man, and 25 or 50 per Cent. come
nearerand nearer the standard of man
hoed until some of them will defy the
scurity of good judges when compared
with ordinary young men and women.
That this no mere rhetorical flourish
lady would suggest that they promenade

ciles.-'sThe Hospital.

HINTS TO THEATRE MANAGERS.

More people are driven away from the
theatres by bad or suggestive titles, re-
pulsive, tasteless and vulgar picture post
ers, than are ever drawn to the box office
by such pictures and titles. The great
mass of the American people are right
minded, clean thinking, self respecting
men and women who want the best-not
the poorest. For every quarter of a doll
lar drawn to the box Office by an Indecent
or suggestive poster, 500 is driven away.
For one man or boy who goes to see a
play of suggestive title, 800 women and
matinee girls and at least half as many
men stay away. These are the eternal
verities OF the modern theatre, re,-Dramatic

THE BLESSED CHRISTMAS TIME


From Iowly manger cradle,
Came an infants plaintive cry,
While mighty angel chorus
Woke the earth and filled the sky.
From the pearly gates descending
On the wings of early morn,
They had come to bear the tidings
That the Son of God was born.
He was Graded in manger,
But His reign shall never cease;
In His hand lie holds the sceptre
Of eternal love and peace.
Still that host of shining angels
Hovers DER us from the sky,
And today their song rolls onward,
GLORY be to God on high"
o! the joy, the holy rapturel
Unto us child is born,
Unto us son is given"
Come and hail his advent morn.
Bring the holly, weave its branches
Into garlands while we sing
Glory, glory in the highest,
Glory to the new born King.
Ancient prophets in their visions
Saw his coming from afar;
And their eyes beheld the brightness
Of his lovely natal star.
Nav that star, our souls illuming
Il With its pure celestial ray,
Guide our footsteps to the cradle
Where the infant Savior lay.
Hallelujahl hallelujahl
Ring the bells in tuneful chime,
o. the sacred memories clinging
Round the happy Christmas time!
Ring the bells, and ring them gladly,
Send their echoes far away,
While We tell the grand old story
Of the blessed Christmas Day.

The dumb beasts felt the miracle men
could not understand,
The gentle, patient donkey, and the OK
that trod the corn.
knelt down beside the manger and knew
that Christ was born.
And so they say in Sweden, at twelve
each Christmas night,
The dumb beasts kneel to worship, and
see the Christmas light
This fancy makes men kinder to crea-
lures needing care;
They give them Christmas greeting and
dainty Christmas fare;
The cat and dog sup gaily, and a sheaf
of golden corn
Is raised above the roof tree for the birds
on Christmas nom.
