BAILEY's LITTLE BED.

Bailey had a little bed,

And everyone who used IL said,
Twas all you could desire.
He sold It to the dealers round,
They sold it DER an DER,
And once they sold II they were bound
To sell it more and more.

Coz, why" II will not rust
Buy "Solid Comfort" and be led

Vote Bailey's Bed to be the best
On which we're all at peace. J. s. b.

THE HOUSEHOLD.
fotted Palms and Ferns Now Vary the
Traditional Holly, Mistietoe, Etc.

Traditional Holly, Mistletoe, Etc.
The day would hardly seem like
Christmas without the hanging Of
Christmas green's, and, though a greater
variety is offered in the way of decora.
tions than formerly, those are still most
liked and used that bear out the old
practices and significance Chief among
them are the mistletoe and holly. The
most favored of mistletoe comes from
across the sea. but some is sent from
Canada and the south, where, particu-
larly in Texas, 1t grows in large clumps
on the live oak trees. Ii is not so artis.
tic in appearance as its English cousin,
the leaves more commonplace and tho
berries smaller and poorer in quality,
though more in quantity. A cluster Of
the oddly shaped green leaves and Opaque
white berries must almost of necessity
be suspended in the doorway or from
the chandelier.
The English holly, too, is finer than
that grown on American shores. An at.
tractive manner of using holly is to tie
big punches with long red satin ribbon
loops and ends and place them over pic
lures and mantel or fasten against the
wall.
Next to mistletoe and holly the laurel
and ground pine are most favored, the
formers glossy leaves and green berries
always forming an effective background
when gay berries and mosses are used
in addition. The ground pine coils
easily and gracefully into wreaths and
is invaluable for twining about stair
cases or pillars or using on large scale,
when boughs of spruce, hemlock and
cedar are also in vogue.
For the past year or two an innova-
tion in Christmas ornamentation has
been the use Of potted nonfiowerng
plants and shrubs from tall palms to
the delicate maidenhair and silvery
fern.
For the Christmas tree, that truest
emblem of the day, nothing has yet
taken the place of the good old time
spruce, though portions of the southern
holly tree are cut off and sent to the
north for that purpose, but nothing else
has all the old sentiments clustering
about it as the beloved spruce has, and
a most objectionable want in the holly
pointed cut by Harper's Bazaar, which
tells of the foregoing bits Of Christmas
greenery, is the lack of the delicious
odor that is so significant of Christmas
tide.

Republican Nominees the Guests OF
State Central Committee.
A Large and Harmonious Gathering
at the Trocadero This Afternoon.

The members of the Republican State
Central Committee had their annual pre-
election gathering in the Trocadero at
noon today and their guests were the Re-
publican candidates on the General As
sembly and State tickets and State and
city officials.
Chairman Hunter G. White introduced
His Excellency Governor ID. Russell
Brown, who reviewed the present
political situation in the State, thanked
the members Of the party for their service
of three years and concluded with splen-
did tribute to the gentleman who is to be
his successor as the chief executive officer
OF the State, Colonel Charles Warren
Lippitt.
Colonel Lippitt made an interesting ad-
dress, relative to the development OF Re-
publican voting strength in Rhode Island
as shown at recent elections, and empha-
sized the fact that by earnest in
dividusl and organized effort that
development would go on. The work
of the party organization, he continued,
so far as the coming election is concerned,
is now over. Primary meetings have been
held and the delegates chosen; those
delegates have met in convention and
named the party candidates. Now the
matter reverts to the source of all
laws in the United States, the ratification
OF the people at the polls.

Chairman White invited all members of

whatever instructions relative to the
campaign that might be wanted.

NON-UNION CREW
Attempt to Prevent n Captain Getting
Sailors for His Vessel.

The four masted schooner, Marjorie, was
detained in port until this noon on ac-
count OF the non arrival of the crew from
Boston. The crew is composed of non
union men, and the union agency made
threats that the men from Boston should
not go aboard the schooner.
When the crew arrived there was dele
CATION of 200 or more from the union to
meet them at the railroad station. There
was also present a squad OF police and he
men were escorted to the schooner at the
Providence Coal Company's dock. Here
another delegation from the union was
met sr-rst
BY some mistake the policemen went to
the dock of the Pomroy Coal Company,
and this left Mr.. Edwards, captain of the
schooner, as the only guardian of his crew.
The union men made an advance on
Captain Edwards, but he had
brand new revolver in his
hand and told the men that the first one
that made a move he would kill or disable.
Officer Duffy. Detective Merrill and Supt.
of Hacks Norcross then came to the
assistance of the captain and the men
were placed on board without further
trouble. The walking" delegates re-
turned to their headquarters on South
Main street.

Tug Mary A. Packer Sunk in
New York Bay.
The Crew Were Afloat in a Small Boat
When Rescued.
James A. Kelley, a Deck Hand, Was
the Only One Lost.

New YORK, March 2s.-tThe tug Mary
A. Packer OF the Lehigh Valley Railroad
Company was sunk in the bay at 10:30
o'clock this morning off Red Hook. All
hands were supposed to be lost. The
news was brought to the city by Deputy
Inspector Joseph j. Stork of the
United States Government steamer
Nimrod, which arrived at her
pier shortly before II o'clock. The
Packer carried double crew of 10 men.
When the Nimrod sighted her she ap-
peared to be disabled. The Nimrod blew
for assistance and the tug Ida l.. Tibo re-
sponded. The Tibo made fast to the
Packer but in consequence of the heavy
winds was unable to tow her and the
Packer sunk. 1t is supposed that the
crew in attempting TO escape were
drowned, as a boat floating bottom up
and two hats were found near the Packer.
The Lehigh Valley Railroad Company
have just received telegram from Captain
ID. It. Cross of the sunken tug, Mary A.
Packer. The telegram was sent from
Fourteenth street, Hoboken. 1t is stated
that all the crew were saved with the ex-
ception of James A. Kelly, q deck hand,
who was drowned. The rest of the crew
were picked up by passing tug and
landed in Hoboken.

SENSATIONAL SUICIDE.
A Man browns Himself SO His Wife
Can Get Insurance Money.

MILWAUKEE, Wis, March 2S.-Walter
q. Nicolson committed suicide here last
night by drowning himself from the
Government pier, evidently for the pur-
pose OF securing for his wife his 200
life insurance. His wife found a note
telling her of his intention to drown him
self. A search was instituted along
the government breakwater and his
body was found. A shingle with his
name and address was fastened above.
His feet were tied SO that he could not
swim. In each of the vest pockets were
found cards giving his name and address.
Financial reverses caused the suicide.
Nicholson, who until lately was the
manager OF a plumbing company, has
been unfortunate In speculations in min
ing stocks. He was 30 years OF age.

DECISIONS OF POLICE COMMITTEE

At the police committee hearing ,yestor-
day afternoon, officer B. q. Sullivan was
fined ESQ for continuous violation of Rule
SO, and officer Duty Greene was fined sl5
for violating the same rule. The charges
against officer Owen T.. Braheny broug hit
by John Fox were not sustained. Officer
Brabeny was charged with being drunk
while on duty, and that he had pushed
Fox in a manner that was unwarranted,
but the testimony showed that Bra
heny was sober and did not push
or in any way injure Fox, but on the con-
trary il was proven that Fox and few of
his followers did all in their power to ag-
gravste the officer, who paid little or no
attention to them. The whole cause OF
the trouble is that the officer was q wit
ness against Fox, who was charged with
keeping liquor nuisance.

Circus Grounds Laid Out In House
Lots and No Other Place Available.

Just where the circuses that may visit
the city during the summer will exhibit
is something of a mystery, as the last
piece of land that was available for that
purpose has been laid out into house
lots. 1t is quite evident that lot outside
the city limits will have to be secured.
The lot on Broad street near Norwich
avenue has for number of years been
leased to the Barnum and Bailly Company,
but the lease ran out recently.
Some idea of the growth OF the city can
be gained from the fact that years ago the
circus lot was where the city hall
now stands. 1t was next located on the
Calendar lot and then on Atwell's avenue
near America street, then at the old ball
grounds on Messer street, and the last
move was to Broad street.
There are several lots on the East Side,
that are adapted to the purpose, but as
they are owned by wealthy citizens it is
not probable that they can be
rented as the residents would not be
anxious to have Cossacks riding over
their lawns, their sidewalks stained with
pink lemonade and Uttered with peanut
shells and their children abducted by
native Armenians from Turkey.

Fire Commissioners Will Stop
Firemen's Pay.
Injury or Sickness Caused by Fire
Duty Not to Be Recognized.
Firemen Will he Credited for lime
They Work and Nothing More.

The next order issued by the fire COM
missioners will be one that will cause q
surprise among the members of the de-
pattment than any issued up to date.
II is to the effect that
no member shall be entitled to nor re-
ceive pay for the length OF time that he
may be suffering with injuries or illness,
which may have been received while in
the performance OF his duty.
1t has been the custom Of the City
Council in the past to pay fireman his
salary when incapacitated by fire duty,
and the Council has always claimed that
a disabled fireman was entitled TO it.
Some years ago O member OF the City
Council objected to man who
was injured at the Barnaby fire, but
he was the only one of the Board Of that
opinion, and the Council was unanimous
in voting the man his salary.
The commissioners claim that they are
working under the advice of the city
solicitor.
