joyful Occasion for

Christmas day Is usually a joyless

Christmas audiences are always in a
happy mood and quickly responsive.
But the very happiness in the air has
a pathetic suggestion for the player
who must work while others play.
Still, they have their compensation

SOME HOPE FOR scHLEY.
1t is Said President Will Consider
Objections to Verdict,

New York. Jan. 17.-President Roose-
yelt has changed his mind in regard to
the disposition Of the Schley case, says q
Washington dispatch to the Herald. In
order to forestall the charge that he was
unwilling to consider the exceptions OF
the rear admiral to the findings of the
court he has decided to defer action un-
IN they have been submitted and heahaa
considered them.
In the investigation which the presi-5
Cent is making he has the legal assist
ance of Attorney General Knox. The
latter has taken a deep interest in the
Schley controversy and Is familiar with
its history. Since Rear Admiral Schley
appealed to the president for revision
Of the findings Of the court he has given
il closer consideration than he had prior
to this development. The president will
undoubtedly consult the attorney gem
eral when the bill of exceptions under
preparation by Messrs. Rayner and
league is filed by the rear admiral.
Not the slightest inkling of the char
acter of the presidents proposed action
nas leaked out. Friends of Rear Admiral
Schley are convinced. that he will do
their hero justice and they support this
view by the determination just reached
by the president to wait until Rear Ad-
miral Schley files his brief.
The navy department is equally confiF
dent that the president will uphold Sec
rotary Long and the unanimous findings
OF the court and the majority findings Of
Rear Admirals Ramsay and Benham
Considerable curiosity is evinced as tos
what action the president will take OH

miral Dewey decided in favor of Rear
Admiral Schley. Here again division

officials of Company Say 1t Will
Be Impossible to Get
Ready.
It Has Been Practically Decided
to Postpone the Show
One Year.

Washington, Jan. 17-The Louisiana
Purchase Exposition, which was to
have been held in ST. Louis in 1903, will
not take place until 1904. This fact was
practically conceded by Ex-Governor
Francis, president of the exposition
company, and Adolph Busche, financial
agent, at the white house today. Since
arriving here and comforting with for
eign representatives Francis and Busche
came to the conclusion that unless the
exposition is postponed year it will be
impossible to secure the elaborate for-
eign exhibits which are desired
They find for instance that great
japanese fair is to be given under gov
ernment auspices in 1903, and If the ex-
position is postponed until 1904, every
thing of interest exhibited there can be
brought to st. Louis the following year.
1t is the desire of the exposition man
agement that the foreign extibite es-
recially shall be very complete. In 1903
we can make the exposition as great
as any ever given" said Francis. but
if we postponed it a year 1t will sur
pass anything in the exposition line
ever attempted. We can be ready lin
1903, but it is questionable whether we
can secure what we want abroad by
that time In order to interest the for
eign governments it is the desire of the
exposition management that the for;
eign agents Of the exposition be ap-
pointed and accredited by the state de-
partment and steps are being taken to
that end.

foreign secretary, had pointed out to
the German ambassador that Chamber
lain had made no charges of barbarity
against the German or any other army.

SHIP COMBINE RuMoRED.
Several Trans Atlantic Lines Likely
to Be Consolidated.

New York, Jan. 17.-Behind the per-
sistent cable gossip from London of
q projected amalgamation of several
steamship lines comes the first ad-i
mission from a local steamship agent
that there might be something in 1t,
These rumors of community of inter-
est between various transatlantic lines
had their origin In the fact that the
White Star liner Celtic, which is due
to arrive at this port Saturday, has
on board Bruce Ismay, director of
the White Star Line; w. j. Pierrie. a
director of the Leyland Line; Manager
Graves of the same company. and
Henry Wilding. the English represen-
tative of the American Line.
Recent cable messages have asserted
that j. Pierpont Morgan is the NOV
ing spirit in a scheme for welding in
to one the several interests of the
American Line, the White Star Line,
the Wilson line, the Atlantic Trans
port Line, the Leyland. which he now
controls, and the Dominion of Boston.
Only one of the local agents saw fit
to discuss the situation today. He
is John Lee, New York manager of the
White Star Line.
"It looks as If something was going
to happen" he said, but what it is
can not guess. When so many rep
resentatives of so many lines sail by
ship the conclusion is inevitable that
there is some reason for their being
together. Possibly their coming hera
is in the nature of an effort to bring
about an agreement regarding rates,
but do not see how they can reach
any plan that will relieve the ocean
freight situation.
''The chief trouble is that there are
too many ships-too many engaged In
freighting cargoes across the Atlantic.
Time was when cotton cargoes, for
example, would be piled on piers
awaiting shipment by several ships,
whereas now almost any one of the
big freighters will take into her hold
all the freight that can be slowed
on an ordinary pier.

FIVE INDIANS KILLED.
Trouble on Tongue River Agency of a
Serious Nature.

Serious Nature.
Washington, Jan. 17.-Five Indians
were killed during the recent trouble
at Tongue River agency in Montana,
according to the official reports received
by Commissioner OF Indian Affairs
Jones yesterday from Agent Clifford.
The agent recommends that fifty men
from the United States army, under
command OF commissioned officer, be
stationed permanently at Camp Merritt.
near the agency. Now there are only
eleven men under command OF q SER
geant at Camp Merritt.
The report shows that the recent
trouble began on the 4th inst, when two
Indian police reported that an Indian
named White, the center figure In the
affair, had fresh beef in his cabin, COIN
cident with the unlawful killing and
mutilatlon of several head OF cattle east
of the Tongue river
|. White refused to surrender three
times and wanted to fight. Then Pri-
vate White Shield and six other police
men went to White, finding him on q
hill near his cabin. They had instruc-
tions to avoid trouble If possible, as
White was a desperate character and a
leader In the Messiah troubles Little
Bear, another Indian. made an inflam-
matory speech, and Whites wife and
daughter gave war cry and tried to
stab White Shield.
White shot and killed an Indian po-
liceman named Bullard and killed one
horse and wounded another horse. The
police were repulsed and were return
ing home when they were again fired
upon. They did not shoot. White
threatened to raid the agency and the
entire police force was held in reserve
for some time.
On the Sth inst White and his wife.
son and daughter were found dead. 1t
was believed that the son opposed his
fathers surrendering himrelf and killed
the father and others of the family and
then committed suicide. Black Crane
and about twenty-five other Indians
also threatened trouble and the troops
were called out, but there were no fur
ther developments.

Chicago Girls Furnish cuticle for Skin

Chicago. Jan. T.-In an hours time

sliced off bits of cuticle from the arms
and legs of fifteen young women, and,
turning to the recumbent form Of suf-
fering girl, he covered burned and iiv-
id face with fresh. healthy epidermis.
A number. of remarkable facts about
this case have been untold. First. the
young women who stood up before the
aproned surgeon and the glittering knife
are warm friends of Helen Peck, the af-
flicted one. Second, they-the unfalter-
ing fffteen-did not faint or squirm or
even tell the doctor to desist. They did
not smile either, but demonstrated the
old verify that women can endure more
than man when love is the inspiration.
A third fact is the exceptional opera
tien performed. Helen Peck's face was
literally scorched away by fire. 1t was,
as the doctors say. a. burn of the second
or third degree. DR.. D'Orsay Hecht, be-
fore clinic at the Post-Graduate hos
pital, Twenty-fourth and Dearborn
streets, set new mark for such oper-
ations, and in sixty minutes had shown
the students what wonders in physical
rehabilitation can be performed by
master hand.
Miss Peck is 16 years old. She was
beautiful gir. before the accident oc-

unselfsh disposition had won for her
true and lasting friends. She gave up
