ON New Years day the widow Of Cen
erai Lawton will be informed that
fund Of $1,000 has been raised for her
benefit.
The New YORK Sun prints the following
from Chicago:
Chicago Will not have the headquarters
for Democratic national campaign man
agement next year and Illinois will be
almost wholly ignored I'm the campaign
if the Angcld-Ha factions OF local
Democracy continue to fight. This am
uouncement is made on the authority Of
one who holds close relations with the
Democratic national organization as il
now is constituted. The reason for TAX
ing the headquarters away is that the
local fight is thrust upon the national
organization at every turn. National
leaders see ma use In trying 20 make an
effective fight ueXt year ia Illinois II the
party cannot be- united.

gained it If the span'ards had stood 10
their guns and used them effectively.
There is but one way to deal with the
Eoers. and that IS for force in front

ates upon their communications This
will require a very large British force,
but ii is the only way the war can be
successfully conducted and the British
should have made up their minds to it

seem to have resigned themselves 20

Quoting the war TO successful issue.

There was a very interesting service at
Broad street Methodist church Sunday
morning: the music was exceptionally
hne and the pastor, Rev. w. 3. Beau
champ. preached an excellent sermon on
The modern mode Of celebrating Christmas
as compared with the Christ way.
He took for his text John II, his sub
iect being the question Why Christ Came
into the world?" lie said in part:
Il do not believe in our Interpretation or
Christmas There is familiar, a common
and general Interpretation which | know Is

the brigade of marchers on Broad street,

depreciation of Christmas?

December. there is this utterance, not
from the preachers standpoint, but from
the standpoint Of a just and generous
critic lie says: The danger. il seems to
