The Great Christian Festival Will
Not Pass without Its Appro-
pirate COmmemor alton.
AND BY MANY WILLING HANDS.

In the Episcopal and Catholic churches
Christmas day will be common rated this
year with truly Christian zeal. Many
willing hands have beautified the sane
tuaries with sprays of evergreen and the
seasons floral offerings that distinguish
Christmas from all days of the year. The
fragrant spruce and pine has been brought
down from the forests to decorate churches
and homes alike, and the red Christmas

Christian feast.
Within the past few DAYS THE CALL has
given descriptions of these services, with
few exceptions. and they will be found in

TREATMENT OF THE INSANE POOR.

The State Commission in Lunacy be-
gins to-day Its investigation of the
charges of the bad and cruel treatment
Of the insane poor In the city asylums.
1t Is a terrible accusation to bring
against the city authorities, that OF neg
lecting and abusing the pauper insane.
The care OF lunatics Is probably one Of
the hardest and most trying tasks that
CON be imposed on man. 1t requires not
only patience, endurance II unceasing
attention, but the broadcast kind of hui
nanity. 1t Is a severe trial both OF
physical and mental powers.
Charges ought not to be lightly made
against those on whom this difficult and
irksome duty is imposed. At the same
time. only those peculiarly fitted for the
work ought to be intrusted with 1t.
None other ought to be employed In 1t.
for the reason that the incentives to
neglect and violence are constant and
almost Irresistible to those who are not
gifted with extraordinary patience and
endurance.
There is only too much reason to be
lieve that the management of our insane
asylums needs investigation, and that II
will be found In man. respects objec'
tionable. This must be the inevitable
consequence of appointing keepers and
others on political considerations.
The evening world., 1894-05-31
BEGINNING OF THE TRIAL.

The Commission appointed to try the
charges against the Board Of Managers
of the Elmira Reformatory held its first
meeting at Elmira yesterday.
This Inquiry was conceded by Gov.
Flower mainly because the
who had already been found guilty Of
official misconduct by the State Board Of
Charities after a long and patient inves-
tigation. made oath before the Governor
that the inquiry of the Charities Board
had been prejudiced and partial. that the
evidence did not sustain the conclusions
reached and that the verdict was Illegal,
untrue and unjust. This at least was one
Of the excuses made by Gov. Flower for
yielding to the demands of the political
bosses for the protection of the managers.
Yesterday Mr.. Coudert drew out from
the managers the fact that they had
never read the evidence or the report in
the State Charities investigation and had
only sworn to It's Illegally, its untruth-
fulness and Its injustice under the advice
OF their counsel, 1t was also ELECTED h a
the suspension OF B~rockway during the
first trial had been a mere sham.
1t Is evident that Lawyer Coudert is
earnest In his management of the prose-
cution, and 1t is to be hoped that the
new trial will be short, sharp and decis-
i've. The cause Of humanity demands
that the attempt to screen the Elmira
torturers shall be defeated and that the
abhorrent reign OF terror at the Reforma-
tory shall be ended forever.

fact to the Doctors friends in Boston.
Warden O'Rourke declines to give the
name OF the gentleman.
Among the insane mans effects was a
key belonging to the Sinclair Hotel. with
a tag attached bearing the number 30.
At the Sinclair Hotel 1t was stated that

FOR SOCIAL PURITY.
Lessee Hammond Orders Fur
nished Flat Tenants to Move.
II They Do Not He Will Dispossess
Them o-Morrow.
They Rent from Another Man and
Refuse to Obey the Command.

The better class of people residing on
between Seventh and Eighth avenues
are ~nnxiously awaiting the results Of
Charles Hammond's attempts to purify
the neighbornood. He mas notified
thirty-one occupants of flats to move by
tomorrow. Mr.. Hammond Is deter
mined hat they shall 20. and the tenants
seem equally as determined that they
will not.
Hammond Is the lessee OF fourteen
houses. some CT which Charles A. Mof-
fatt. OF 213 West Thirty-eighth street,
has rented. Mr.. Moffatt sublets them
furnished. Mr.. Hammond does not
charge that these people keep disorderly
houses. but he wants them out and will
dlspossess them tomorrow IL they do
not move.
Many of the residents of the locality
who were seen by an Evening World
spoken tina MIR. Hammond. They say
a V six along either of the streets at an
hour when business men are returning
from their offices would be sufficient to
convince ore of their character.
Police Captain Price. in whose pre-
cinct the flats are. said to-day that since
the cleaning out CT the Tenderloin Dis
tr!ct the women are scattered all over
the CITY in lighthouses.
"There is no doubt that some of
them are in nearly every precinct in the
city" he said. but how can you get at
hem? l notified Mr. Hammond that
some Of the people in his houses must
go. and presume his present action is
lie result.
1T is impossible to get sufficient evil
1ence against disorderly people in fiat
nc uses to ecure a conviction. They
hire furnished flats by the week from
the %janitor or agent. II the flats were
not rented furnished, this Objectionable
class coul not get in, as they cannot
afford to furnish the places themselves"
Mr.. Moffatt claims that he is a yearly
tenant ard cannot be put out. The
people that he leases furnished flats to
are respec able, he says. and he has adj
vised Their, not to move.
tt ose of the tenants that were seen
by an Evening World" reporter said
there was no reason why they should
move. They did not recognize Mr.. Ham,
mond's right to order them to vacate,
and they would not do so until legal
action was taken by Mr.. Moffatt.

Two stylish Costumes.

A very stylish costume nowadays is
of gray-faced cloth. with a simply cut
shirt and Elton jacket, not too short at
the waist. big revers and cuffs of apple
green velvet. covered with a richly pat
termed guipure Of a creamy shade. This
has a waistcoat Of the gray cloth. to be
replaced on occasion by a soft shirt OF
accordion-plaited cream silk. This cos
tune In biscuit color, with royal blue
in place of the green. is lovely. The
other costume which demands notice Is
in Venetian red cord. This is a very
curious material, green shot with red,
which gives a most artistic result and
would be very becoming to a certain
style OF brunette beauty. 1t has basque
and plastron of black MORE and a
draped skirt, caught back with straps
fastened by large. richly embroidered
buttons.
