circumstance for Joy on the part of the
Convicts.
From hash. bread and coffee, always
without milk and sugar, for 364 days
in the year, to roast chicken, boiled
onions, mashed potatoes, bread and
butter and tea, with milk and sugar,
is terrific leap in an epicurean way.
And the 1900 can eat as much of it
as they pleased. Every time a man
wants a second helping in Sing Sing
he raises his hand, schoolboy fashion,
and the nearest guard sees that his
wants are attended to. The number
of hands which go up at this Christ
mas banquet is unCOuntable. They
shoot up from the same place with
lightning-like rapidity Each man of
the 1000 tries to eat enough chicken
to last him a year, and he gorges
himself with the tea graced with milk
and sugar, for that is another annual
| rarity
And when at last the signal has
| been given to rise, they march out to
the yard, there to receive two cigars,
another treat of gigantic proportions
! They can loiter about the yard until
g o'clock. when Christmas services
are held in the two Chapels, one for
/ the Catholic COnvicts and the other
! for the Protestants of all denomina-
tions At II o'clock they are re-
turned to their cells. and on the way
each man gets a great piece of mince
pie, a chunk of ginger bread, two
apples and an orange. A bowl of tea
with sugar and milk is sent to each
cell at - o'clock. and the convict can
eat these danties at his pleasure.
Two Hours for Talk.
/ At o'clock the guards march the
men to the yard, and then comes the
! great event of the year. From 2 to
O'Clock the /. 200 convicts can talk to
No need of looking hurriedly around
to see if the guard is watching, no
"sub-Chinning,' no tapping out Of mes
sages, but good, straight-out words,
! loud or soft, at the pleasure of the
talker. Some of the men do not
recognize their own voices. The
vocal cords are rusty, and to talk is an
effort. Two hours go by like flash,
and half of the messages which had
been saved up for the year are left
unsaid when the silence signal is
| given.
But there is another treat in store
for the more fortunate prisoners with
friends or relatives who send them
I Christmas boxes. These are carefully
searched by the prison authorities be.
fore they are handed to the owners.
There is more feasting for all hands,
for the prisoner who receives a box
has enough of the milk of human kind.
ness till in him to divide with his less
fortunate brother
On the whole Santa Claus does good
work in Sing Sing on Christmas day,
and more than one convict will lie
down on his cot next Tuesday night
thankful and mellow with the Christ.

Song for Christmas Morning.
Up, up, O heart. and sing!
The grewsomc night has gone;
With its glad beaconing
Behold the dawn
Put grim old Sorrow by
She of the sigh and tear
Doubt, of the dropped eye,
And spectral Fear!
Back to his sanguinc lair

Peace with her calm sweet air.
Sits on her throne.
And by her side. to aid
In her benign employ,
A boon to man and maid,
Are Love and JOY!

ATTACKED THE GOVERNMENT
BOURKE COCHRAN DENO UNCES ITS
 A1TITUDE TOWARD ENGLAND.
taIiating on Great Britain for tho Boer War-Recorder Con Also Arr raIgns the Admin stration That This Country Is Not Neutral.

New York, March 4.-In speech hundred and twenty second anniversary of the birth of Robert Emmet, the
 Irish patriot, which was celebrated to-
 night at the Academy of Music by the
 combined Clan-Na-Gael organizations of this city, W. Bourke Cochran bitter
 ly denounced the attitude of the ad-
 minlstration at Washington toward England in her affairs in South Africa, and almost advocated a retaliation on
 the part of the United States.
 Recorder John E. Golf also spoke. He said:
 England seeks to some extent to justify the war with the Boers by our example, the example set by this gov ernment, not by these people.
 Now it is said again that the people of this country must remain neutral. This is as 1t should be. But I deny that this country has been neutral. There was, long before his var in South Africa began, a question between Eng land and the United States regarding the Alaskan boundary. There was a claim pending Now do not say that the moment this war began in South Africa that we should have made a claim against England but do say that the advancement of a pending claim should not have been delayed one moment. We ceased at that time to be neutral. If the United States: if the administration had gone on en- forcing that claim this war would never have begun. The Canadian troops would have abundant business at home. In his speech last night President Me- Kinley said there was no alliance with England. l believe that. It is not an alliance. It's a surrender. A surren- der of the control of our foreign policy into the hands of the foreign office We do not get anything. We give up and the government discharges consul at Pretoria because he complained that his mail had been opened. A boy twenty four years old is put in his D lace, the son of our former ambassador, and more tiifan that he gets his last instruc- tions. i.ot from the government at Washington, but from the foreign of- flee, London.
 Recorder Golf also referred to the statement by President Mckinley that there existed between this country and no entanglements or alliance, and stated that we must not be unrea- sonable, but remember that as loyal American citizens we must give the government loyal and honest support, and accept the statements given by the
