TO providing for people in whom the So

also the overflow from several churches OF

Besides providing material gifts, Secretary
GrOut was busily engaged in organizing
forms of entertainment in several Of the
homes for the poor around the city.
Through his efforts the Irvington Sunday
school gave an entertainment in the Home
for Friendless Women. Mr.. GrOut said
that IL was the busiest Christmas the So
ciety had ever known.
The Salvation Army departed from its
usual custom of giving a big Christmas
dinner. Instead. basketfuls of dinner were
dispensed literally. The names of worthy
recipients of the army's bounty were OBJ
tanned largely from the Charity Organiza-
ton Society and from the personal knOwl-
edge of members of the army.

EXPRESSMEN> SWAMPED

WILL BE EXTENDED.
They VIII Receive Christmas Pack
ages Several Days Late-Ware-
houses Crammed with Goods.

The agents of the express companies are
unanimous i'm saying that the volume Of
Christmas business this year is beyond all
precedent. In all Of the warehouses pack
ages are piled high on trucks and stacked
almost to the ceiling near the walls and
in the middle of the floors. All of the COM
panies put on a large force of extra men,
but they were deluged by the express mat
ter coming in on every train and collected
TO send out
Christmas eve a train was held at the
Union Station for an hour to receive 500
packages piled on the Adams COmpanys
trucks but the task was too heavy and
the train pulled out without the packages
Yesterday morning there was so much eX-
press matter on the lower floor OF the
Adams warehouse that three trucks loaded
with packages could not be pushed to the
front. To get out the trucks were to
the rear of the building. carried on the
elevator TO the second floor. run across
TO the front Of the building and then
the packages were carried down stairs and
taken TO the trains. The company has
about forty extra men employed. and YET
IL is fully three days behind with deliver
ies. Packages are now in the warehouses
that arrived three days ago.
The condition at the United States Elk
press COmpany's place is equally bad.
There extra men have worked night and
day. but for one package removed two
would appear. until the main room now
looks like storage house IL is estimated
by this company that all of the Christmas
deliveries will not be made before Satur-
day. The oldest packages are being taken
out first. The American Express Com
pany Is not deeply covered up as the
others. The company had a large force
of men OH early and has managed 10 keep
the volume of business down until it is
very little behind time.
The railway traffic is estimated by Su-
perintendent Zion. OF the Union Railway
Company. 10 exceed that OF any previous
Christmas. Tuesday every train that came
into the station carried extra coaches and
all were crowded. Yesterday several thou
sand people came 10 tho city. and all day
il was busy scene in the Union Station.

TENTH DISTRICT CHAIRMAN.
c. G. Mauzy Working for Reelection
of Thomas Mccoy.

c. G.. Mauzy, owner of the Fowler Re-
publican and chairman of the Republican
central committee, of Benton county, is
here to attend the State Teachers Asso-
citation meeting in the interests of book
publishers Of Chicago. Mr.. MauZy says that
Benton county is in good shape for future
Republican victories. 1t is a saying about
Benton county that anybody can be
elected if he is a Republican. Mr.. Mauzy
is an ardent supporter of Thomas Mccoy,
chairman of the Tenth district, and pre-
diets that he will be reelected. Mr.. Nc
Coy has some opposition in the district
and Joseph Sleeper, of oxford, is a can
didate against him.
1t seems that a story has been started
in the district TO the effect that Mccoy
does most of his political work from Chi
cagO which is not far from Rensselaer,,
Mr.. McCOy's home There is nothing in
this statement" said Mr.. Mauzy last
night. 1T is true that our district meet
ings have been held in Chicago once or
twice simply because the county chairmen
could get there and get away again more
conveniently than if the meetings were
held at any other point. Mr.. Mccoy is
thoroughly in touch with the district and
is a worker. He will undoubtedly be re-
elected"

CHRISTMAS BEHIND BARS
ONE BRIGHT DAY AMONG MANY OF
BLACK MONOTONY.
Turkey and Trimmings Served to
Prisoners i'm Jail and WOrkhOuse
AT Insane Hospital.

Christmas in the public institutions in
the city yesterday was celebrated in the
usual way. In all of them special menus
were prepared and the inmates were served
with the good things TO eat to which most
of them had been accustomed before they
became so unfortunate as to be deprived
of liberty. The story of their enjoyment
presents nothing of which the public has
not heard again and again for years, but
to the prisoners it was an event.
The regular daily routine life in the pris-
ons and institutions of detention becomes
monotonous and any little variation is given
hearty welcome. Thanksgiving, Christmas,
New Years and the Fourth of July are days
looked forward to i'm pleasant anticipation
by those whose terms of confinement are
long. Many of the persons in the institu-
tons have not been there more than a
few weeks and have not yet reached that
condition OF cOntentment and Self-reSlgna-
ton that comes to older prisoners, and
to them the extra liberty allowed and the
special dinner came with probably greater
appreciation.
At the county Jail sixty prisoners were
served with turkey, oysters, mashed pota-
toes, cream gravy, mince pie celery, bana-
mas. apples and cigars. Prisoners at the
wOrkhOuse had rabbit included with the
other extras. The menus in the other in
situations were about the same.
In most of the places special programmes
were given. The one at the WOrkhOuSe was
in the vaudeville line. there being many
of the prisoners who have talent" which
is rapidly developed during idle hours.
Work, except in the kitchens, was dis
pensed with in all the institutions. The
feature of the day at the Insane Hospital
was the afternoon dance. Most of the in
mates not actually dangerous are permitted
to participate, and besides furnishing
amusement for the day 1t gives the unfor-
Inmates something to talk about for weeks
and months, and by the interest created
and maintained assists greatly in the work
of keeping them under control.

FOUGHT THE POLICE.
George NimmO, of Peculiar Manner,
Arrested at Union Station.

man giving the name of George Nimmo
was arrested last night at the Union Sta
ton by Patrolmen Paulsell and Askins
after hard fight. Nimmo was peaceable
until a letter in his pocket was taken out
He grabbed for it and made desperate
effort to get it from the patrolmen. Station
master Lewis and others came TO the as
sistance of the patrolmen and Nimmo was
forcibly quoted. The letter was one which
led the police TO believe he was profess
sional crook and he was sent 10 head
quarters and charged with lettering.
He had large bundle of clothing and
in this were two pieces of board with four
round sticks Nimmo could give the police
no satisfactory answer as TO the use OF
the pieces. He also had a pair of scales
such as are used in weighing old gold and
silver. He claimed TO be buyer of old
gold and employed by Samuel Benjamin,
OF Columbus, o. He had a number of re-
ceipts from express companies bearing out
his statement, but he contradicted h1mseif
in so many ways and was so evasive In
mis- answers that he was held although
the police have nothing but a case of loiter-
ing against him.
