Christmas Tree For the Children at
the Day Nursery.
A Tough Customer-Other Matters OF
G.nsTa Interest.

Nowhere in Rhode Island was there
happier lot Of youngsters than those con-
nected with Grace Memorial Home on
Delaine street yesterday afternoon. At
o'clock the 30 odd little ones were escort
ed To large room in the upper part Of
the building. where there was a monster
Christmas tree loaded with presents for
the little ones. In an adjoining room
was q smaller tree and this also was load
cd. The latter was covered with little
trinkets which had been made by the
pupils of the kindergarten, and eacn
scholar had made some article which was
hung on the tree for the parent of the
maker. Ibis tree was stripped OF Its
pretty things first, and was by no means
unimportant 10 the little ones
A few days ago Mrs Jones, the matron.
asked oil Of the little ones to just let
Santa Claus know what they wanted, and
all Of the boys wanted either sled or a
drum, and the girls all wanted doll.
Ihoss that were large enough, got sled,
and the little ones drum. The larger
girls received wax dolls and the babies
got rag dolls. Iren each received cap
or hood, "a pair OF Emittens, big bag OF
candy, nuts az d big orange. After this
they had all the Ice cream and cake that
they could crowd into their little stom-
aohs.
1he Rev. Floyd w. Tomkins made a
speech tu the little ones and then acted as
Santa Claus. This pleasing event is the
work OF the board OF management OF the
Providence Day Nursery Association, and
will be repeated at the Chestnut Street

range from a few months To nins years,
who are left Mt the home during the day

WAS held last even ing for the purpose OF
taking further action in tho matter of
putting stop TO gam bling in the town,

wouli-be Peacemak Shot AT - Two
turkeys SlOl u.

Simon Kaupman OF l75 Gladstone avenue
came near being killei last night. That a
bullc; from a 3s-calibre revolver did not kill
him was due 10 chance only aud not to any
care on the part OF n young man just turning
q years who aimed tho shot at him.
There was a quarrel between young men in
front of Samuel Kenumpples barber shop, 30
shawmut street, shortly after o'clock last
night, and MIR. Kaupman acted the part Of
peacemaker unsuocessfully. His remon
strances and pleadings with the three fellows
engaged in the row did not auell their pas
sions, but had contrary effect.
All three used harsh language and one OF
them let 90 a string of vile names at Kaup-
man, which he followed by n shot from the
revolver that he had pulled out Of his pocket.
The ball, though. only grszed the feshy part
of Kaupman's arm and did no harm, but
Kaupman was badly scared.
officer Irwin Investigated the case and
found that the man who fired the shot was
q years OF age, tive feot and FIVE inches in
height. that one of his companions was about
the same age, while the other was but i6
years old and wore knee trousers. No one in
the neighborhood of the shooting would admit
they knew the boys.
BOLD STREET CAR ROBBERY.
There was a bold robbery en- a Branch ave
nue. car early last evening. Among the pas
rengers was Mrs. Edward Barnett of Gs
Douglas avenue. who was returning from
down town, where she had purchased two
splendd turkeys and she had them ia a
basket. While the conductor OF the car was
up at tho forward end collecting fares about
the time the reached the corner Of Branch
nnd Smithflela avenues, a 2D0pound traveller
on the platform reached hissbrawny arm into
the car, picked up the basket With the turkeys
and safely dropped off tho car lyith his plum
der. He wore dark overcoat.

ing, "Where are you; were you with
me?" mo you were with me-" said
Mr.. Bryan. Mr.. Lusk then asked Mr..
Bryrn where his party was on this
question; if it had not tabOoed him and
kicked him out of its caucus? This
caused a big laugh at Mr.. Bryan's ex-
pense.
After further discussion Mr.. Dock,
cry called the previous question. 1t
was ordered, and Mr.. Bryan of Chat
ham demanded the yeas and nays. Nj
Lusk said: eve are ali proud to g.
on record" There was much explain
ing of votes.
The vote was, yeas 76, nays 26.
There was a great applause at the
result. The bill passed third reading,
only two voting no, and the "clinch-
er" was put on it on Mr.. Hancock's
motor.
1t was stated that there is 10 the
Treasury $4,000 belonging to the
State Board of Education.
The bill to appropriate $l2 800 ad-
ditiOnal for the State Normal and In
dustrtal School next came up. Mr.
DOckery said the committee made this
report; that it was unanimous; that
in the Senate only one vote was cast
against it; that all recognized the
needs of the school. He called fol-
the previous question. Mr.. Parker Of
Wayne shouted "vote it down" and
added "you are taking snap judgment
on u.s." Mr.. Dockery withdrew thu
call for the previous question. Mr.
Hancock said it was simply thu
idea to save time; that there mind
were made up. Mr.. Blackburn spoke
in support of the bill, and declared b.
warmly favored both higher and lowe
education, and that he wanted partic'
ularly to say the girls needed educa
ton. He asserted that many of thOs'
who clamored so loudly for an increas
of public school taxes would yet vOt
against an increase.
Mr.. Parker of Wayne thought thi
bill should be held up until the publ
school appropriation was made. MI
Parker, of Perquimans, spoke in ia
vor of the bill, which then passed b.
an overwhelming vote and withOu
roll call.
At the night session a number Q
bills passed, among them to provid
for the erection of a school buildin
for the North Carolina School for tn
Deaf and Dumb carrying $4,000 az
preparation, passed second readin
and was committed to the finance com
mittee.
