them make provision over night for
their good cheer on Christmas morning.
Some of the little ones write letters to
Santa Claus, but that dear old friend OF
our childhood cannot always bring
what the children want. But there is
always something provided for the chill
dren on Christmas day.
There are three little children in the
white house, and they will have great
Christmas day. One Of them is about
six years old, another one is two years
old and another one Is only few
months old. They win have plenty of
presents, for their papa can get many
things from Santa Claus. because he is
president of the United States. But
their papa does not love them any bet
ter than any poor man loves his chill
dren. Their mamma cannot love them
any more than the mammas of poor
children love them. But there Is love
in the white house, just as there is love
in your home; and the same spirit of
joy exists there that exists in all homes.
because the little mother in the little
manager gave to us all her Son,>who was
also the Son Of God, SO many years ago
in Bethlehem.
/ hope that all the children who read
this letter, or who hear it read, will take
new interest in the story of the poor
little mother and the poor little boy
baby, and learn to understand that all
of our happiness and liberty and hope
have come from the fact that so long
ago in the little stable, in the little man
ger, in the little town of Bethlehem,
there was born Saviour of the whole
world; and that because of that fact
we celebrate Christmas day, and have
such good times on that great children's
day. And moreover, every little boy
and every little girl who enjoys Christ
mas must realize that we are made hap
Ply because when the little Son of the
little mother became man, HE went
about doing good;~ apd that we will
always increase our happiness IL we
go about doing good. and trying to
make others about US as happy Is we
can. Ha<SsH ID. Fer.

cause II IL coming Christmas day, and
that IL the anniversary Of the birth OF
the little boy in the little manger, in the
little stable, in the little town of Beth
lehem.
Wonderful, is it not, that such little
event in the history of a great world
should become so celebrated? But all
the ages before that time knew not
how or by what means there should be
an assurance of future life. Every man
and every woman from the creation felt
that there is future life, but there was
no revelation of the plan of salvation.
Wise men looked for it, prayed for it
and sought for sign. And when they
saw the star in the east they followed
it eagerly. Inspiration, rather than
intuition, gave them to know that the
era of complete revelation had arrived.
Down in the jungles, out in the wilds,
in the homes of affluence and in the
dens of vice, on the mountain top and
in the valley, in the forest and upon.thc
prairies, in the iowlends and on the
plateaus, everywhere to-day children
are singing hosannas, because the little
child of the little mother was born, and
darkness was swept away. so that out
of the night into the light we all were
led by the birth In Bethlehem.
In your homes you celebrate the day
with gladness, and it is the happiest day
Of the entire year, because It is the chill
dren.sdsy. WheuHc was grown toman-
hood and was speaking as never man
spalee, His every utterance being wis.,

such is the Kingdom OF Heaven" So
because 1t is the chiidrcn's day, and
they are cmblems of the innocence Of
Heaven, Christmas day IL the day OF all
days in every year which we hail with
Joy and gladness. The little Son of the
little mother brought q new command
ment into the world, that We love one
another" and so this Is the day when
we put aside all selfishness and all un-
charitableness and rejoice with exceed
ing Joy that the little mother who was
overshadowed with the Holy Spirit gave
birth to the little boy who grew to such
stature that His name is salvation and
extends all over the earth, and even into
the kingdom of Heaven.
Here in Washington, the nations cap

you celebrate it at home. Our children

MUST USE MACHINES.
Western Union Operators Inter-
preted u Circular to This Effect

preted Il Circular to This Effect
There was a rumor af1oat yesterday
that the Western Union telegraph
operators had received notice that
henceforward they would be COM
PEELED to transcribe all messages on
typewriters, the machines to be pur-
chased by themselves, The rumor was
occasioned by the posting in the West
ern Union offices of a printed circular
announcing that a certain typewriting
machine could be purchased through
the agency of the Western Union COM
pany for the sum of $40 per machine.
1t was further announced that opera
tors could obtain the same at once by
agreeing to pay the 500 in installments
of S. a month. Many of the operators
construed the circular as a compulsory
request directed to them, but accord
ing to the statement Of Manager w. A.
Rudd, of the local Office such does not
appear to be the case. When seen yes
terday Mr.. Rudd said:
1T is a mistake to suppose that
there is anything compulsory in this
circular, or that the Western Union
has in any way intimated to the opera
tors the necessity of buying or using
typewriting machines. In fact, the
company has not even suggested the
use Of them. There is absolutely no
compulsion in the matter. Those OPP
orators who use the pen are at perfect
liberty to continue using it as long as
they wish. The only purpose in post
ing the circular was to give those OPP
orators who prefer to use machines
the opportunity to purchase them at a
comparatively low rate. The Western
Union is in position to buy these ma
chimes in quantity for $40 apiece, for
which price the company will sell them
to the operators in their employ.
There is no dissatisfaction whatever
among the operators.

mLAw1NGv OVER A CHILD.
Judge Willis Takes Peculiar
Case Under Amusement.

Judge Willis yesterday listened to
legal fight for the possession of
three-year-old child, Mary Ellen Brad
ley, daughter of William Bradley, of
Minneapolis. The father the evening
before swore out a writ of habeas
corpus, in which he charged that the
little one was Illegally detained at the
instance of Annie Bradley, his wife,
by Mary Hyde, his wife's mother, who
had refused to surrender the child to
him. His wife had refused to live with
him and he wanted to recover the
child.
In her answer, Mrs. Hyde alleged
that the plaintiff had deserted his
wife and gone to Ireland, she having
refused to accompany him; that he had
treated her cruelty and failed to pro-
vide for her support, and she con-
templated an action for divorce; that
he was a rude, uncultured man and
unfit to have the custody of the child,
which was being well cared for by the
defendant and it's mother.
Judge Willis thought the allegations
of the answer insufficient reason for
setting aside the rule of centuries, CIV
ing the father the pre-eminent right
to his offspring, but he postponed fur
Their inquiry for two weeks.

QUIT WORK TO BOOZE,
Fell to Fighting and Are Now
Behind the Bars.

A double case of misplaced confidence
and unappreciated charity occurred
yesterday, in which Charles Hayward
and John Burke were the graceless
beneficiaries. They applied to Relief
Agent Hutchins yesterday morning as
unemployed men seeking work. Mr..
Hutchins sent them out to a job on
Iglehart street, where they remained
long enough to earn 70 cents, when
they quit and started out on tour of
the saloons. They imbibed enough to
make them vicious and fell to fighting
with each other at the railroad cross
ing, Western avenue and Elm street.

ments in the central police station
until Monday when they will be called
on to face Judge Twohy on a. charge

UNIONS WILL UNITE.
Iron and Machinery MouIders
Will Get Together.

AT meeting of the local branch of
the Iron Moulders' union of North
America, at Assembly hall last night
the olive branch of peace was offered
by the Machinery Moulders' union, a
committee being present from the
latter organization to discuss the prop
osition of the two joining hands in
wedlock. Though the men belonging
to each union are practically the same
rank of tradesmen, the two organi-
cations have been kept up for years
and have often engaged in a bitter
warfare with each other. The Ma
chinery Moulders' union exists prin-
cipally in the West, in nearly all the
shops of the East the white card of the
Iron Moulders' union being the only
one recognized. The folly of trying to
build up a rival organization by en-
gaging in war of determination has
finally become apparent to the men,
berS of the weaker union, and last
nights overtures were the result. The
members of the Iron MOulders' union
naturally feel elated over the prospects
of adding some seventy-five members
to it's rolls, thus greatly Strengthening
the union, in addition to putting an end
to the struggle for supremacy. One Of
the national organizers of the Iron
Moulders' union will probably be sent
for to tie the nuptial knot.

LAWS THAT WORK WELL.
Wisconsin Forestry Laws Copied
After Minnesota5s.


'It is an interesting fact" said Cen.
Andrews, of the forest preservation
commission, yesterday, chat the law
OF Wisconsin for the preservation of
forests and the prevention of fires
which was passed last spring is ver9
closely copied after our Minnesota law.
The system of appointing town super
visors as fire wardens has been adopt.
ed by our neighbors and the statute
is in many other respects similar, 1t
is important as making easy the har-
monious enforcement of both laws in
adjoining territory of the respective
states. Our counties Of Pine and Carl
ton adjofn the counties of Douglas and
Burnett, in Wisconsin. Almost all the
territory included within the boun-
daries of those four counties is timber
land. A forest fire in any one of them
might spread to all: indeed there would
be imminent and prospective danger
of its doing so. Consequently it is of
great advantage that the legal provis-
ions for their prevention should move
upon the same lines. And, by the way,
the territory in the counties 1 have
named is the most prolific forest fire.
producer in either state, as experience
has shown. There is more need of care
there than anywhere else.

ture of Ringing BrosI Circus.
The characteristic which distin-
cuisines Ringing Bros Worlds
Greatest Shows from all others is the
fact that no feature is too costly
and no expenditure is too great when
the securing of a novelty is involved.
In the minds Of the management the
only question is whether or not an act
is new. novel and absolutely of the
best kind. In view of this notable pol
icy it is not surprising that Ringing
Bros show is now beyond all COM
parison the largest and most success
full amusement enterprise in the United
States. A striking illustration of Ring
ling Bros success in securing great
novelties is the engagement of the
famous Eddy family Of acrobats.
This remarkable family comprises two
gentlemen and the same number of
ladies, and popularity of their per-
Torrance is the fact that they appear
before the audinece in full evening cos
tune. Attired in the quiet but elegant
costumes of the ball room, they per-
form the most remarkable feats. 1t
has been said of the Eddys that they
are inimitable, and those who have
seen their performance are enthusiast
ic in their declaration that they are
the most finished. the most expert,
and the most unique acrobats ever
brought to this country. So quick, so
agile are they, that they appear to
defy the laws of gravity, and their
vaulting evolutions, their twisting
somersaults, their triple revolutions,
and their unerring deXterity in vault
ing from one human pyramid to an
other, evoke the admiration of all be-
holders. Among the other great
arenic features the Landauer troupe of
nine flexible models is attracting atten-
ton. The remarkable contortion act
of Joseph Lewis. the thrilling per-
Torrance on the breakaway ladder by
the Ty-Bells, Akimoto's Japanese cir
Gus and the Mayos, the grotesque skat-
ers, also have a worldwide celebrity.
The announcement that Liberati's
famous military band of sixty soloists
is now with Ringing Brothers great
show, has created a sensation among
musical people, and this feature is in
itself an attraction extraordinary.
The menagerie is this year larger and
more comprehensive than ever, an the
hippodrome races in thrilling interest
have never besn equaled. The date in
St. Paul is the 9th instant.

OUT s1o ON A HORSE.

1t seems that a man may get the
worst of a horse transaction even
when the city is the other party to the
deal. A citizen named Rasmussen
bought at auction an unclaimed horse
from the poundmaster, paying there
for the sum of SIS. Five days later the
noble steed died without warning,
doubtless of modification over the low
price for which he was sold. Now
Mr.. Rasmussen wants his money back,
and has SO far succeeded as to induce
the council to reimburse him. But that
is the nearest thing to s15 Mr.. Ras-
mussen is likely to receive, as the city
attorney has failed to find in the city's
legal archives any guarantee as to how
long the equine should live.

STANDS BY THE BATTERY.
Lieut.. Allen Explains His Position
in the Mix-Up.


To the Editor of the Globe:
Dear Sir-I notice in the issue of your
paper of yesterday the general i'm
preston prevails that 1 am the only
one excepted by special order No. 26,
mastering Battery A out of the serv-
ice of the state. My commission reads
second lieutenant of Battery A, First
battalion of artillery, and that I con-
slider when the company was mustered
out of service that 1 was mustered out
with it.
My interest has always been with the
company and l do not intend to desert
it now that it is in trouble. And let
me say right here that 1 have nothing
whatever to do with organizing a new
company, but I do desire most sin
cerely to see the old battery rein
stated.
AS regards the company property,
said to be in my possession, 1 have
this to say: That it is not now, and
has not been, in my possession since
the company was mustered out. On re-
ceiving special order No. 26 l immedi-
ately turned over all state property to
Maj. Libbey and on his request I also
turned over all company property to
him, putting locks on the store and
company rooms as he desired and
turned the keys over to him. Yours
truly, B. E. ALLEN.
Late Second Lieutenant, Commanding
