both found dead in their home No. Ills
West Eighth street early Saturday morn
ing. An investigation showed that
death was caused by escaping gas.
As it w;is an uiitisual tltiiiG fUr them
not to be about their house etrly in the
morning, Mrs. james &. Dillon, who re-
sides next door, notified friends of the
family when She saw no signs of life.
They were unable to get any answer to
repeated knocking on the doors. so Irwin
StetSer and Harry Dowd, who were
passing, were called and after climbing
to the roof of the porch they gained an
entrance through one Of the windows.
The strong oder OF gas was Immediately
detected and then il was discovered
that Il gas jet in the front bedroom was
open. An investigation showed that
Roberts way lying across the bed dead.
Mrs. Roberts was found dead in an
adjoining room.

WILL POLICE HAVE TREE? ?
Made Many Children Happy Last
Year.
People Wondering Whether They
Will Provide for Poor Child
ren This Year.

Hundreds of poor children who were
never before visited by Old kriss were
made happy last Christmas by the kind
efforts of the policemen and Matr0ns Wo-
gan and White who put up a large
Christmas tree III the City Court room
and filled il with presents for the little
nrchins to whom Old Santa is a stranger.
The policemen and the matronS We're
well repaid for their good work. As the
children filed into the Court room their
eyes opened wide with wondermcnt at
sight Of the beautiful tree and their
little hearts beat with delight when they
received their gifts.
For years il had been the custom
10 have tree in the City Hall for the
poor children. Previous to last year the
project was III the hands Of Sunshine
Circle of Kings Daughters Last year
tn" police undertook to make the child
rem happy IN their own account and
The results were gratifying.
Many persons are wondering whether
they vii! again take up the good work
this year. and would be glad to aid them.
As yet nothing has been done, there be-
ing some dclicacy about asking the
Police Commissioners to suspend rule
OF the department which is necessary if
Il tree aud presents are to be pro-
vided, hut there is not the least
doubt that the big-hearted blue
coats are ready and willing to begin at
'oncc if permission is granted. And
surely the commissioners. who are as
much interested in making children
happy as anybody, will give their consent
to the project if they are asked to do so.

tinued Their Reign Of

Presiding Elder Robert Watt said: II

cred it one of the best hymns in the
book. The revision is necessary as it has
been several years since there has been

profitable thing; we have so many hymns
that are never used at all. / have always
regarded Sweet Hour of Prayer as one
Of the most spiritual hymns in the book
and am sorry it is to be stricken out.
However, those in authority know more
about what is needed than l."
The Rev. II. S. Dulaney, pastor of As
bury NJ. +. Church, said: II regard it as
a very pretty hymn. 1t is merely on a
technicalty that the hymn is to be
stricken out. like the hymn and regret
prayer is certainly sweet hour and
can see no objection to it. For myself,
prefer the old hymnal."
He Leadeth Me, Oh, Blessed

! Charles Wesley is a prime favorite,
and only two Of his hymns will he
omitted.
Th4 old stand-bys, "Jesus. Lover of My
Soul "Rock Of Ages" and others sim

1t takes n two-third vote Of the nine
members OF the commission to reject a
hymn and put in new one, and there

CHOIRS NOW
WORKING HARD
New Christmas Anthems and
Solos are Scarce.
OLD FAVORITES TO BE HEARD
Many of the Churches Made Search
frf Novelties. Catholic Choir
Leaders Will Stick 10
the Old Masters.

Christmas activity is nowhere greater
than in the church choirs. There has
never been SO much interest taken in
church music us during the present sea
son. and as a result Of this very care
full preparations are being made for the
Christmas music. This festival and that
of Easter are the periods when the choirs
make their greatest efforts.
There is always great search after
novelties by the choir leaders, and the
music publishers, just as the book pub
fishers, make special efforts to meet the
demand for Christmas music Tie local
dealers say that the output of Christmas
anthems and solos for the present sea
son has been strangely inadequate. and
that the choir leaders are going back to
the older fnvorites,
In the Catholic churches the effort to
get novelties is not so strong. There il
q great body Of splendid masses to
draw upon, written by the greatest
musicians. Consequently, it is rare that
the work OF new composer receives
performance in the Catholic churches.
For anthems the leaders of the Catholic
choirs are also singularly we'll off. The
works of Beethoven. Mozart, Gounod,
tN'HHbtIls Iluf1Illtl anu EttlHIH can ne
drawn uboh, uhd nre more than ade-
quate.
A number Of the most famous selec-
tions are repeated year after year and
lose none Of their impressivcness. Such
works are Gounod's Nazareth" and
Adams "Cantique de Noel"
In the Episcopal churches the selec
tons for Christmas are usually made
from the works Of the English compos-
ers who write especially for English ca
thcdral choirs. Occasionally the works
Of the Americans Buck, Gilchrist Parker
and few others are admitted, but in the
majority OF Episcopal churches the pro-
gram is almost exclusively English.
This applies especially to the services,
hut in the matter of anthems there is n
little more freedom Of choice. One Of
theAmerican composers who has come
very quickly to the front in the past
few years is Horatio Parker, professor
of music at Yale. In the programs of the
local churches he will be very widely
represented. especially by his anthem
Calm on the Listening Ear of Night I"
In the other churches the greatest free
dom Of choice prevails, and selections are
made from the most severely classical
composers. as well as from the most
modern writer's,

WILL HOLD MURDERER's WIFE
Trenton Authorities Will Resist Amy
Attempt to Release Her.

Prosecutor Crossley Of Trenton, n. j..
has not made up his mind what to do in
the case of Mrs. Frank Williams of this
city, whose husband murdered John
kraus. If there is any attempt to have
her released, she can be charged AS an
accessory after the fact, or she can be
held charged with concealing the crime
for several hours.
In all murder cases the prosecutor is
charged with using lawful diligence in
ferreting out the crime, and he is not
bound very strongly TO the verdict of a
coroner's jury.
1t is expected that if Williams is cap
,llrned and brought to trial, by that time
h" existence of another wife can be
clearly established and the testimony of
Mrs. Lottie Williams will be forthcom-
ing. Meantime the woman will remain

After hearing argument by Levi G..

ten counts of obtaining money of the

bill Of larceny, Attorney-General Ward
and Deputy Attorney-General Richards
for the State, the Court of General SEES,

ments. Lynns trial, therefore, will
come off in this county. The trial is set
for Wednesday, December IS.

cd down the following decision:

Indictments Nos. IS to As, inclusive.
My Term, y. D., 1901.
Lore, 9. 1.-THE court have listened to
the arguments made hy the respective
counsel, with great interest. The first
question presented and argued was the
motion to change the venue.
We think the defendant has utterly
failed to show to this court any reason
able ground for the conclusion that he
cannot have perfectly fair trial, before
an impartial jury, in New Castle county.
He has failed to show such condition
Of prejudice in the county, or such tan.
giblc interest in the judges, the grand
jury or petit jury as to bring this case
within the cases cited by him, TO warrant
Il change of venue.
| We therefore decline to change the
venue.
| The other question raised was upon
Washing the indictments. upon two
grounds: One of these was the interest
Of the court and the grand jury, which
we have already passed upon.
The other ground is based upon alleged
defects in the indictments. After con
Sidering the arguments upon that branch
which were very full, we do not see any
lack of material avcrmrnts that wout
warrant this court in quashing the in
| dictments on either of the points raised
We therefore refuse to quash the in
dictments.
Mr.. Hayes asked the court TO note Al
exception.
The court refused to note the exception
but decided to hear authorities as to thu
right of an exception in the case.
