Lively Scenes at Madison square
 Garden and Elsewhere Thou
 sands of Baskets, Containing
 Dinner For Five. Given Ont.
 NEW YORK, Dec. 26.-Christmas brought good cheer to the eity's poor at Madison Square Garden, where the Salvation Army distributed 3,400 bas- kets, each containing dinner for i've persons. In Brooklyn, too. the army gave out l LOGO more such baskets.
 Eyes dfmmed at the very sight of the line that waited for the doors of the Garden to open. Every person who had ticket good for basket had been the subject of careful inquiry, so only the deserving received the dinners.
 One poor woman, red ticket in hand, wheeled in front of her baby carriage containing two infants. Anxious as were the others near the woman, they all gave plenty of room, urging her for ward along the line.
 Promptly at 10 o'clock the doors opened. and the line marched into the big building through an aisle between two tables On these tables the off cers of the arng stood, handing down the baskets.
 Many entered the Garden without the tickets. These were asked to stand aside until all tickets were presented and then were served i'll turn.
 At night the doors of the Garden were again opened, and everybody who came was fed.
 All day the kitchens of the Garden looked like busy factories. There scores and scores of cooks moved like gnomes through the steam and about the fires. Savory smells peryaded the entire building
 Following are components of the evening meal:
 Three thousand pounds of turkey, 300 pounds of roast beef. 75 bushels of pc :atoes. 150 quarts Of cranberry sauce. 75 quarts of cranberry jelly, 600 pounds of stuffing, 600 mince and apple pies, $500 loaves of bread. $50 gallons of coffee and nuts and apples by the busheI
 Each of the baskets given out con- tained bread, turkey or chickens, coffee, sugar. apples, mince pie and Christ mas War Cry.
 Those who follow the sea had part of their Christmas at the Seamen's Christian association, 399 West street. where Mir and Mrs. George A. Hearn supplied about 300 of them with an excellent dinner.
 Other men or the sea found cheer awaiting them at the International Sunshine society at 155 Sands street, Brooklyn, where the superintendent, Mrs. F. L. Smith. had prepared q mon ster Christmas box.
 For the soldiers there were a Christ mas tree and entertainment in the Young Mems Christian association quarters at Fort Wadsworth, and the army branch of the same association gave q turkey dinner to the men at Fort Columbus, on Governors island.
 Christmas trees shed forth gifts at the Bowery Mission and Young Mems home at 55 Bowery during the day, and q turkey luncheon was served to 800 men and boys.
 The Italian Benevolent society of 27 Hancock street celebrated it's Christ mas festivities by the distribution of food, clothing and boxes of presents to poor Italian families.

SEA SERPENT INDICATED.
0htcial Report Of Monster One Huna dred Feet Long Is Recorded In
 the Government Archives.

After being the subject for many years of uncertainty, doubt, and even downright disbelief, the sea serpent has been vindicated officially and evil dence of his reality recorded in the government archives al Washington. In a report to the Photographic office of the navy department Henry II. Neli- gan, one of the regular observers of marine events designated by the chief hydrogra pher, officially youches for the existence of one of these monsters of the deep. Mir. Neligan's report was mailed in Liverpool, where he arrived November 10, on the Prada. The ser pent was seen while the Prada was on it's last regular voyage from Calves ion to Liverpool, and he was 100 feet long. Mir. Neligan thus describes the had blunt, square nose and was eject ing water to the height of two or three feet from it's nostrils. The animal or fish had three distinct sets of fins and a tail lying across like porpoise. On it's back was a series of humps like a camel.'' The latitude and longitude mentioned by Mir. Neligan are in the Gulf of Mexico. about 120 miles south- west of the mouth Of the Mississippi. Neligan's responsibility is vouched for by the officers of the Photographic of

VAUDEVILLE AT THE JACQUES.
 There is one objective point for the mulr1Iude this week, and it is the Jacques, where q show of exceptional srrractiveness from the comedy stand point Is running. Crowds were in eyi- denee yesterday: indeed, the day proved a record breaker in the matter Of attendance, and it proved q record breaker, too, in the fact that not even the most hypercritical ''knocker" had any ground to exercise his hammer. Such show is seldom seen for the money charged; and while the same statement can with truth be made of all the shows so far furnished by bIr POli, it is especially so in the pres ent case. Al Shean and Charles L. Warren in Quo Vadis Upside Down" and Frank Cotton with his wonderful donkeys, provide the principal fun; but they are so well backed ap by the oth- CTS on the bill that one hardly feels like making anything that would seem distinction. 1t is show in it's en- tirety that, as said above, even the most cynical cannot knock. For the prices charged it challenges compari- son. These are 10 and 20 cents for the matinees, all ladies 10: evening prices for all, 10, 20 and 90 cents.

The Force of Habft,

Ans amusing instance of force of habit is reported in England. A lady walking in the country with brother lately returned from the front was greatly alarmed, not at the sound of blasting from a neighboring quarry, but at her brothers falling flat to the ground at the instant. She, Sf course, assumed that he had been in- iuYed; but it turned out that he had been in the habit, flor months, by or der, of prostrating himself on the veldt at the sound of a. gun. Me chanical obedience of this kind has been effectively. utilized in the case of suspected deserters. An abrupt shout of ''Halt'' brings any man who was lately in the ranks to sudden standstill.

OLD NEW YORK TRICKS.
Case of Diamond Cut Diamond on an Arizona StaGe-How He Lost and
 Regafned His Seat.

There is at least one old-fa shioned stage line in Arizona, memorial of frontier days, says a writer in the New York Press. Il made trip out there the other day. says one of our fellow citizens who is interested in great numbering operations in the Flagstaff territory, and found the ride on the coach rare treat. On the front seat there was room for three. The driver sat on the right, on the left. and stranger in be- tween. The latter began to look un- easy after we had gone about 15 miles, and finally whispered to me: l am afraid I am about to be sick, sir; would you exchange places with me for . moment?' I could not make the ex- change too quickly.
 ..The seat in the middle was tight squeeze, but I patiently submitted. Five minutes passed, ten, twenty. for ty, an hour. Not sign from my friend. He seemed to be enjoying the scenery. I said at last: ..I understood you to say that you felt sick.
 '.'Yes, quite true; l had decided feeling of nausea, But the air out here appears to agree with me, and the feel ing has passed off,
 Then you will give me back my seat
 .'Oh, not at all. This is an old trick I learned in New York; get anything you can in any way you can, and hold on to it.
 T gave him sudden push that l1eeled him over by the roadside, re marking, as 1 put my hand on my pis- tol: That's an old trick I learned in New York in the free school for hogs
 He got up, brushed the dust off, and entered the coach in silence"
