THERE SHO\E A STAR.

Oh, stars by the million fold above! In the wide blue spaces Ve watch anu
 love; Stars like grains of sand by the sea- Though wheeling clusters of worlds
 they be; But once. through the gates of heaven
 ajar, When a Child was born there shone q
 Star. Children they come to the palace hail; Childrcn they come to the cabin Slnali' To the tent. to the ship, to the poor
 mans cot Drear is the home where God sends
 them not; But once. just once, through the gates
 ajar. Gods own Child came, and there shone
 Star. Over desert places it's golden light Planned like q torch the livelong night: Rowing low to the wonderful East, In stately procession. king and priest. And a marvellous moving caravan Sought for the gift that had guerdoneu
 man. When. banners of glory waving far, Once for His people, God klndled
 Star. The Empcror sat in his purple robe. Holding the sceptre that Swayed the
 globe: Bent the slave to the laboring oar Little to him was q gr0an the mofe' Wrcathed with laurel the conqueror
 strode. Trampfing hearts on his naughty road: The cry of the anguished Quivered far. And To: in the darkness there shone
 a Star. Out from cave in a riven rock A candle fiickered; who will may
 mock That thread of flame was the answer
 sent From Earth to the Star in the frma-
 ment. On the silence trembled Babes first
 breath, Child to the Lord of Life and Death; Safe as q bird in the tiny nest, In the mothers arms, on the mother $
 breast; While the lowing kine stood wonder
 ing near, And the angels sang on the midnight
 clear And the midnight waned, and the
 dawn'S great ear Swept ill brightly there shone Star Margaret E. Sangster, in Woman s Home Journal.

NURSES KILLED HIM.
Patient In New York Hospital
 Choked to Death.
MURDER CHARGES MAY BE PREFERRED
Witnesses Swear That Louis J. RiL- Hard In Insane Ward of Belle
 vue Was Beaten and StrangIcd.

NEW YORK. Dec. 29.-Mutder ill the first degree, with the penalty of death upon conviction, is likely to be the charge preferred against the three Bellevue hos pital nurses accused of inficting upon Louis H. Hilliard, q patient ill the in sane pavilion, injuries from which he died.
 When this announcement was made yesterday in, the coronerS court by As sistant District Attorney Mcintyre, the faces of the accused young men blanched. and they seemed to completely lose the self possession they have heretofore shown.
 . It was after Thomas T. Minnock, the principal witness for the prosecution had been recalled to the stand to clear up disputed point in his testimony that MT. Mcintyre made the sensational an nouncement. Minnock swore that he was positive that shortly before Hil- iiard's death the nurses had twisted sheet around his neck and that J. R. Davis, one of the nurses, had cried: I'll fix you, I'll fix you.'
 MT. Mcintyre was on his feet in mo- ment.
 If what this witness says is true,' he exclaimed, it shows reconciliation, MT. Coroner and this case is taken out of the ordinary category of manslaughter uHu DecOnleS one OL lIluIucS
 Davis and the other nurses, l.. O. Dean and Clinton Marshall. stared hard at one another and became deathly pale.
 Subsequently, Mir. Mcintyre said that he had not the slightest doubt that the accused would be held to face the charge of murder.
 The inquest is before Coroner Fitz- patrick and jury. Davis, Dean and Marshall are represented by Henry E. Anderson.
 Mrs. Mary Hilliard of 3S4 Seventh avenue and her 14-year-old son were present, were also d score of wit nesSes.
 The accused nurses. who looked anX- ious and careworn, said that they would not be put oil the stand in their own be- half.
 The first witness was Mrs. Hilliard. who was recalled. and in answer to the coroner's question said that she noticed bruises on her husbands head when she saw him at the insane pavilion. and he told her he had been beaten She asked pr. Fitch how he got the bruises. and he said he did not know and did not want to know. Dr. Fitch testified that ! he did not notice any bruises on Hill liards face. Mrs. Hilliard Was then ex- cused from further attendance, as she was ill.
 A verdict to the effect that Louis H. Hilllard came to his death from as phyxiation and fractured ribs caused by Jesse R. Davis. Edward Q. Dean and Clinton l.. Marshall was brought ill at 9:OG clock last night by the jury which had heard the evidence at the inquest be- fore Coroner Fitzpatrick. The jury was ! out 3G minutes.
 MT. Mcintyre, assistant district attor- asked that the Ea committed to await the action of the grand jury. ''Granted.'' said the coro- her, and will hold them under $5,OOO | bail each"
