SONG for old Christmas,
For jolly old Christmas,
~ The monarch of merriment, fun

Ring out with a rhynning

Pile /up the log fire
Still higher and higher;
Ne loves the bright blaze of a wide open

No shadow of adness
Must darken our gladness,

rules the broad earth.
The stars are all winking

Tne out of ethereal champagne that he
brings.
The winds shout in chorus:

bert Sidney Johnston Chapter should
pledge themselves not to patronize
any theatre or allow their children
to go to any playhouse where Uncle
Toms Cabin" is performed. The
Chapter, however, took no action on
this suggestion.

Urge Resolutions just Now.
Washington, Jan. 13.-The Mary
land delegation in Congress, includ-
ing senators and representative
held meeting to-day to consider
the course to be pursued on the
Schley case, and reached determ-
ination that pending the decision of
President Roosevelt upon the appeal
to be made by Admiral Schley to
the chief executive it would be in
advisable for the delegation to urge
upon Congress any of the resolutions
or bills introduced. The meeting
was held in the committee room of
Representative Wachter of Mary
land, and was attended by Senator
McComas and by all the representa-
tives from Maryland, except Mr..
Jackson, who was out of the city.
The various resolutions and bills
now before Congress were gone over,
and it was the general sentiment of
those present that the delegation
would be favorable to any one of the
measures which fully vindicated
Admiral Schley. But for the pres
ent, in view of the admiral's placing
the matter before President Roose-
welt, the delegation deemed it mex
pedient to determine upon any par
ticular measure, or to take steps to
urge such a measure before Con-
press.
