The artistic features of this exhibit
have been marked out by Edward !.
Austen of Newark, n. J., who has hafi
much experience and success with cyclo-
ramic and scenographic productions.
Mr.. Austen also painted niagara in
Winter" which created a furore in Lon
don several years ago.
The scenograph. or living picture. diff
fers from anything of the kind ever usnsi
for spectacular productions, and in this
respect the presentation of the scenes Of
the Johnstown food will be unique.

on A PRAIRIE TELEGRAPH POLE

Past mountain and fOothill, plain and lake.
Where IL links the East and West.
The tense wire tingles from sea to sea,
river that runs unrest.
As a two-strnged harp Of haste it throbs
With the rise and fall of states,
And sings through land of sun and peace
OF far-off wars and hates.
Through a glimmerlng sea Of waving green,
OF silence, and golden suns
As q thread of pain I'm the wool Of peace
From world to world it runs.
But the tales It tells are idle tales.
And the songs it sings are strange
To us who follow the glad, gold trial
OF the sun on the Open Range.

IT WENT TO THE ORPHANS.
Price Of Theatre Tickets Which Travelling
Men Made Up

John D. Rockefeller Jr, has been
writing a series of articles in which he
tries to prove that wealth does not
bring happiness. Some one in answering
him stated that "the want of it brings
misery" If Mr.. Rockefeller is unhappy
because of his wealth the cause of it is
that he thinks Of wealth, not as trust
allotted him to be wisely used, but as
given him for his own selfish benefit.
The fault is not with the wealth, but
with Mr.. Rockefeller. To be truly hap
Ply one must live for others. The
amount of wealth one can spend on HIM
self is liinited-more than this is bur-
den if the owner Of it does not use it
and increase it for the happiness of
others. Of course this does not neces-
sarily mean wholesale and indiscreet
giving without regard to the object.
Money thrown away only brings re-
morse. Happiness may be brought
about by establishing enterprises that
will give the needy "a share where labor
is honest and wages are fair
But at this happy Yule-Time, when
the mind naturally turns to the unfor-
tunate and helpless who have no one to
care for them-little children who have
no Santa Claus to fill their stockings.
On the counters of most of the hotels in
this State are fastended little boxes into
which such amounts as the travelling
public may feel inclined to give are to
be deposited for the benefit of the little
orphans at Oxford
Last night at a certain hotel at which
your correspondent was stopping party
of travelling men who were compelled to
spend their Christmas away from home
were discussing the theatre which was
to exhibit in town. Some one asked
what is the price of admission"
Then" said the first party. who was
great theatre-g going man, II will just
drop so cents into the orphans box and
not go"
A large crowd followed suit and the
contribution to the orphans fund in
few minutes was considerable.
The whole crowd resumed their seats
and were much happier with their
cigars and conversation than the silent
fellows who marched out to the show for
a couple of hours-only to march back
again.
This is not only an object lesson to the
travelling public, but must be peculiar
ly forcible one to the drummers who
practiced a bit of self-denial for the
benefit of the helpless little children
who have no papa or mamma and very
little Santa Claus on Christmas day.
"Inasmuch as We have done it unto
one of the least Of these, We have done
it unto me-" is the reason given for the
acceptance of the saved in the only scene
we have given us in the Bible, of the
great Judgment day.
1T is more blessed to give than to
receive still remains true.
Perhaps your little one may some day
be an orphan.

WAR is AvERTED IN
So. AMF RIGA
(By the Associated Press

Washington Dec. 24.-Encouraging
news has reached the State Department
from Buenos Ayres and the officials have
renewed confidence that there will be a
peaceful settlement of the serious dis
pute between1Chili and Argentina. Mr..
Lord United States Minister at Buenos
Ayres, has reported by cable that the Ar
gentine Government has concluded not to
press the demands upon Chilli which
threatened to lead to hostilities, but in
stead has decided to allow the issue to
go before the Boundary Commission which
has for several years engaged in the de-
limitation of the boundary. Moreover, Mr.
Lord reports that while the Argentine
Minister to Chilli has arrived in Buenos
Ayras, the Argentine Legation at San
tiago de Chill has not been closed and
consequently diplomatic relations be-
tween the two countries have not been
interrupted as was supposed from the re-
port from our Minister in Chilli.
Buenos Ayres, Dec. 24.-(Via Galveston)
Senior Alcorta, Argentine Minister of
Foreign Affairs, has sent telegraphic
communication to Florencio l.. Domin-
guez, the Minister of Argentina to Great
Britain, in which he informs the latter of
the renewal of conciliatory negotiations
between Argentina and Chilli. This step
was taken in order that Senior Dominguez
may officially inform the arbitration COM
mission, and other persons interested in
the matter, of the new developments in
the situation.
Documents putting an end to the pres
ent state of affairs will probably be signed
by representatives of both Argentina and
Chill at Santiago de Chill tonight. On
the request of the Gillian administration,
the Argentine Government has tele-
graphed to Senior Portela, Minister of
that country to Chilli to re-enter nego-
tiations with Senior Yanez, the CHILEAN
Minister of Foreign Affairs and they have
authorized their representative to sign
the documents terminating the present
situation

EDITOR J0SEPHUs DANIELS
RECEIVES A HANDSOME GIFT.
The Entire Staff and Force of News and!0 OBJ
serverPresentga Beautiful Silver
Candelabra to Him.

The happiest feature of the Christmas
season came to the staff and force OF the
News and Observer last night.
1t was not because of gifts that came
to them, but because they had an OPP
portunity of making a gift in which
every one, from the Devil to the edi-
torial staff, except the editor chief
took part, and the latter was only de-
barred because the gift was made to him
and it came as an utter surprise.
At six o'clock the thirty and more peo-
pie who aid in making the News and OBJ
server were gathered in the business
office, while several invited friends kept
Mr.. Josephus Daniels busy in the editors
sanctum. Then he was invited to join
the throng, in which were many ladies.
He came. and at once saw that there
was something doing" AS spokesman
for the News and Observer people, Mr..
Edward z. Brtton, in a short speech pre-
scented to Mr.. Daniels, on behalf of all,
handsome pair of silver candelabra.
In doing SO he expressed the gratifica-
ton of the employees of the paper in
making the presentation and the pride
they took in being connected with pa
per whose editor had done so much for
the city, for the State, and for the Demo-
cratic party, and who, despite all burd-
ems had gone forward aggressively in
every good work.
Mr. Daniels replied in most fitting
terms. He thanked the gift givers for
their kindly remembrance, and said that
it was combination of all on the paper
that made it, and that loyal, faithful
work was being done. His appreciative
reply had in it q sally that was enjoyed,
when referring to the beautiful silver
gift he said that he believed now even
more strongly in free silver"
But Mr.. Daniels did not allow
monopoly of gift giving. He had pre-
pared and labelled gifts for every mem
Der of the staff and force of the paper,
and each received from him during the
evening gift that must have pleased,
for they were handsome ones to all. 1t
was merry Christmas eve in the News
and Observer office last night, a place
where all work in harmony in present.

Big Fire at Connellsville, Pa
(By the Associated press.)

Connellsville, Pa, Dec. 24.-Almost an
entire square was wiped out by fire here
today. The loss is conservatively esti-
mated at $4,000. The insurance in many
instances does not half equal the loss.
The fire lasted from one until five o'clock
and for several hours it looked as if all
the dense downtown district would be
wiped out. BY hard and heroic work the
fremen kept the flames within the con-
fines of one square which is bounded
by West Main street, Arch street and
Orchard alley. The entire square was
owned by the Wilkey estate and the
buildings were occupied by about thirty
tenants, nearly all of whom were burned
out. The heaviest loss is the furniture
store of B, P. Wallace, which was en-
tirely destroyed This stock was valued
at $4,000 and was insured for only about
$4,000. 1t was in this store that the fire
was started by some children. Tonight
the fremen are still watching the fire,
as they fear the wind that is blowing
from the mountains.

MOVEMENT FOR BETTER WAGES,
May Result in General Increase For Trainmen
East of Chicago.
(By the Associated Press.)

Chicago. Ills, Dec. 24.-At a special
meeting of the General Managers Asso-
citation held here today, movement was
started which may result in general
increase in the wages of trainmen, en-
ginemen, fll'emen and switchmcn on all
the big railroad systems east Of Chicago.
The meeting was called at the request
of the Pennsylvania Company, the causes
being the coal shortage in Chicago and
other cities, shortage of cars and power
and the congested condition of traffic
in general. The coal situation, however
was the moving cause for the meeting,
and a discussion regarding it led to a
canvass of the entire situation.
In the opinion of majority of the
general managers the general conges-
tion is due in a measure to inefficiency
of the service rendered by employees, and
this view led into a discussion of the
labor and wages situation fro ma rail
road standpoint. Although no formal
resolution was passed upon the subject,
it was generally agreed that raise in
the wages Of employees would do much
toward stimulating them to better work,
which in turn would help relieve congest-
ed conditions as well as to prevent them.

Volunteers Must Work.
(By the Associated Press


London, Dec. 24.-An army order issued
tonight announces that no volunteers will
be accepted in the future who are only
able to devote to training purposes the
time required for elementary barrack
square drill. The commander in chief
points out in this connection that mod
ern warfare has SO changed conditions
that in order that they shall be eff
fective it is now imperative that the VOL
unteers attend the annual instruction
camps and field manoeuvres.
1t is generally believed that this or
der will wipe out large majority of the
present volunteers.
The War Office has decided to withdraw
twenty batteries of artillery from South
Africa at once. This action is taken on
the ground that under the present condi-
ton of guerilla warfare, the guns are
Of little USE and are rather a hindrance
to mobility and decisive action.

No Truth in 1t.

Nby IIIb ASSUCIdltU FTtSS.J
Rome, Dec. 24.-There is no truth in
the report, published in the United
States by news agency that Mgr. Seal
abrini. the Archbishop of Piacenza, who
recently visited the United States. had
been practically selected to succeed Mgr.
Martinelli as Papal DELEGATE in the
United States, and that he had begged
the Pope to excuse him from such pro-
motion. The Vatican never intended to
appoint him to the Washington post.
While no definite decision has been
reached regarding Mgr. Martinelli's
successor, it is understood in Vatican
circles that the Papal Delegate in the
United States will be succeeded by
Mgr Falconio, the Papal DELEGATE in
Canada
