THE UNSELFISH SPIRIT.
The Christmas Gift SbouId Garry No
Thoughts of "a Present
in Return.

Do we need a reminder that the
spirit of the Christ-Child most truly
animates that Christmastide which
is most lovingly unselfsh? Do we
bestow on the children it's best OPP
portunities when we load them with
benefits yet impress on them no wish
to give presents in their turn? Is
there any true Christmas sweetness
in which there is not drop of self
denial? OF these things, familiar by
frequent repetition, at Christmas
tide we may well think once more,
writes Margaret f. Sangster, in Chi
cage Interior.
Our American way is to lavish
money in our Christmas merry-mak-
ing, to lavish it sometimes without
the requirements of individual adapt
alton. And if we have not money
enough to 90 round a large circle,
we are compelled to leave outside
some whom we might please without
great expense, if only we exercised
more thrift. A bit of holly, a Christ
mas card. a flower, a letter, a mes
sage. a hand-clasp, all these cost
little. but how much they may carry
of heart warmth to the friends
on the edge of things. instead of in
the midst. Run over the list of ac-
ouaintances, and you viii discover
that in your church, in your hus-
bands office, in your fayorite chart
ty, somewhere you know a homesiclS
or a homeless person who ought to
be brought in to the love-light of
your own Christmas.
These are days when business calls
so many away from home, that it is
by no means possible for every
household to gather it's sons and
daughters in one beautiful group
when the holidays return. But
every woman in whom motherhood is
regnant may do some sweet thing
for some other mothers boy or girl
for the sake of the Child who
brought peace on earth and good
will TO men. She may widen her
Christmas friendships till the circle
takes in more than lith and kin, and
as she does so a blessing shall come
to her own life.

FACES CHARGE OF MURDER
THE HEARING OF THE AGED JOs-

Gray-Hafred and TotteriDg, the Old
Man Faces Justice on the Charge
of Numbering His Wife.

With unsteady step and should ers
bent with the age of ~ years, Joseph
Place who is accused of the murder
of his wife, Mary Jane Place, was
led into Justice Snyder's court by
deputy sheriifs for a preliminary
hearing Thursday morning.
The.old mans thin hair and beard
are almost white, and, old though he
is, he entered bravely into the nerve

pass through. He has en- gagged the
firm of Flick, Westenhaver and Noll
to fight fOrshis liberty, while Assis-
tant Prosecuting Attorney W. B.

ton.
So great was the crowd of witnesses
and spectators that Justice snyder re-
moved hls.head quarters to the Court
House in order to conductive hearing
with more comfortable surroundings
There ere a score or more witnesses
in rs- ass and it will likely not he

The entire morning was taken up in
the examination of Justice of the
Peace Mcbride, who held the inquest,
and DR.. II. S. Castleman who exam

particulars of the inquest, DR.. Cas-
tleman stated that it was his opinion,
after careful examination of the
body, that Mrs. Place met death by
hands other than her own. The cross
examination of DR.. Castleman was
postponed unsil Friday afternoon.

Attitude Of the Powers During War
with Spain.
Mr.. GLADST0NE'S PRoPHESY
Mr.. Stead Contends That its Realization Has
Been Reached-He Admits, That
Influence Exerted Over British
Colonies by the United
States.

London. Dec, &C. The Times this
morning publishes an editorial article
on t,te pretensions of continental
newspapers that it was Russia, not
England, that prevented European in
tervention III the Hispano- American
war The Times thinks that the mo-
ment has arrived for the production
of documentary evidence regarding
the attitude of Great Britain ON that
occasion, lin order to MP in the bud
the growth of an ingenious legend of
kind from which we have suffered
before now, p"
The Daily News this morning, in
an editorial discussion Mr.. William
T. Stead's pamphlet on 1.-THE Ameri
canizatlon of the World, admits
that Mr.. Gladstone's prophecy that
the United States would replace Great
Britain as the premier commercial ma
tion has been, on the whole, realized ;
but 1t declares it to be q tterly impos-
slble that Great Britain. as Mr.. Stead
extravagantly suggests, could ever
enter an American union except af-
ter series of disasters rendering sep
arate existence impossible
The paper considers any kind of an
Anglo American federation equally
unlikely owing to the Briton's insati-
able love OF caste, which led Golden
to insist that Eneishmen were aris-
roerats rather than democrats. For
the rest it confesses the enormous in
fluence which the United States will
weld over the British colonies. and
says that a majority of Irishmen
wouldsvote for federation with the
United States.
The article further says it would be
interestingsto see Ewhat5 have
beenyif the United States should drop
its protection policy and should offer
Jamaica, Canada, or even Australasia,
the immensesbribe Of admission on
reciprocal term to their vast. ever
extending markets.

laudation Of Palma.
ALLEGATIONS OF THE PRESS
Cubans Assured by Admiral HIgginson That

Gala PAYS Tribute to Gen. Garcia.

Havana, Dec, 90 According to
the kilograms printed in Senior Estra-
da Palma's official organ, Gen. Gomez
is faring badly on his POLITICAL tour
in favor Of Palma. In the Puerto
Principe province his meetings have
been broken up, he has been greeted
with shouts of TRAITOR, - and stones
have been thrown at him. Gen.
Gomez is mounted on the same horse
he used during the war, and is accom-
panied by band and a number Of
veterans. The Maso feeling is run
ming strong in Puerto Principe.
The Nacion says Gomez is paid by
the government to stump the country.
He is met with that accusation on
every hand. Maso's followers have
Withdrawn every one of their candi.
dates and the feeling at some points
is bittor.
A banquet wa given to the officers
of the United States fleet yes erday by
the Cuban veterans. 1t was grand
demonstration of gratitude on the
part of the Cubans toward the Amer
lean navy. Gen. Carlos Garcia pre-
sided. Gov. Gen. Woods Ia propos
ing a toast to the future republic said
th..t when the fleet came again 1t
would ind stable government in
Cuba.
Rear Admiral Higginson thanked
the Cubans for their grand outpour-
ing of hospitality, SSand said the pres
ence of the fleet had no special sig
nificanee, certainly no political one.
It was a source of satisfaction to him,
he declared, that the navy had been
an important factor in bringing about
peace in the island.
Capt. MeCalla paid high tribute
to Gen. Garcia. who had co-oDerated
with him at Santiago. and TO the Gu
bans for their courage and fortitude
during the war.

Medical Science Paying
Much Attention TO
this Scourge.

Scrofula comes in the blood. You
may have inherited it from your pa
rents. You have no right to transmit
il TO Your children. There isan abso-
lutte cure for it-YAGER'S SARSA-
PARILLA WITH CELERY.
We wish it were possible to say this
so strongly that every human being
could realize the tremendous import
ance of it, for almost every individual
has this latent poison i'll his veins. Its
alarming fatality is not realized, be-
cause consumption and other diseases
are reported as the causes of death
many of which are the direct result
of scrotula.
YAGER'S SARSAPARILLA WITH
CELERY is a positive cure for sero-
fula, scrofulous sores, and all scrofu-
lous diseases. 1t purifies, enriches
and yitalizes the blood, 1t eXpels the
poison. 1t puts each and every part
of the body in perfect working condl-
ton. and effects its cure by perfectly
pure and harmless drugs.
If YOU have the slightest tendency
TO scrofula, get bottle of WAGER 5
SARSAPARILLA and eXpel the poi
son from Your system at once, The
cost is shght--any druggist will sup
ply you with good sized bottle for
