HELPED BY HIS VICTIM.

TRENTON, Dec. 2S:-Claude l..
Stillman, of Newark, who has served
three years of a ten year sentence in
state prison for fraud and embezzle-
ment, was paroled by the Court of
Pardons yesterday. Stillman was for
many years a confidential clerk with
the Murphy Varnish Company, from
which he embezzled between $4,000
and $4,000. He was private secre-
tary TO Governor Murphy at the OPP
ening of the latter's term in 1902.
The release of Stillman was Sc
cured largely through the efforts of
former Governor Murphy, who is
head of the Murphy Varnish Com
pany. II was represented TO the
court that Stillman had been led
astray by an adventures with whom
he became infatuated. and he had
made every effort to atone for his
faults by voluntarily surrendering
his entire property toward making
up the shortage.

FOUND HIS
Was Living With italians in a Smith Street
House.

Seeing %passersby glancing up and
hearing sounds from the house at the
northeast corner of Smith and Water
streets, this morning, Patrolman w.
NJ. McDermott went up and found an,
angry father facing two young Ital-
ians who had been discovered in a
sparsely-furnished room in the house
with his daughter, Mary Yacko, who
had been missing from her home at
80 Catharine street. Her father was
greatly agitated. He tried to seize
his daughter and threatened to shoot
the Italian youths. The officer pre-
vented Yaoko from doing violence
but at his complaint, placed the trio
under arrest. Yacko was painfully af-
fected and tears rolled down his
cheeks at the thought of his daugh-
ter's wrongdoing.
1t was declared that another girl,
a friend of the Yacko girl, was liv-
ing in another room of the house said
to be rented by another Italian.
At the police station the girl gave
her age as fourteen years but looks
several years older.
The Italians described themselves
as Joe Layon, twenty-five years old,
and Joe Peoni, eighteen years old.
All three were placed in cells, and
shortly afterwards Yacko went to
headquarters and talked of the case.

BLOOD RED CROSS IN
THE SKY AT SUNSET.

ATLANTIC CITY, Dec. 2S:-Ham-
monitor, Egg Harbor and other towns
in the central section of the state
crossed by the West Jersey and Sea-
shore railroad witnessed a sunset last
night that old natives declare was the
most magnificent seen in this section
in a quarter century. Five minutes
after the sun had disappeared, its
rays, piercing a low bank of clouds
along the horizon, were thrown upon
a higher bank of dark gray clouds
in the form of a perfect cross, blood
red in color, which was visible, with
out a %perceptible change in form, for
fully ten minutes.
AS the sun sank below the horizon
three immense bars of golden light
shot upward nearly to the zenith. A
If by magic, two disappeared, and
the remaining one seemed to become
as dazzling as the orb that had JUS
disappeared. With the same sudden
ness, a bright bar of light fell across
this perpendicular one, forming &
that was geometrically perfect
At first it was a bright orange color
but gradually changed into a gorge
Gus red. The cross disappeared as II
came, the horizontal bar going first
and the upright fading away, after
which the sky again became a bright
orange color, which gradually faded
as darkness fell.

MRS. EDDY'S ORDER.
Scientists Must Abandon
Christmas Giving.

CONCORD, n. H., Dec. -2S.-One of
the most sweeping edicts ever issued
by Mrs. Mary Baker G. Eddy, head Of
the church of the Christian Scientists.
in which she practically forbids her
followers all over the world from set
ting apart Christmas day as IL upon
which TO give or receive gifts, has
caused a furore among the believers,
who number more than 100000.
In every IN of the 300 churches es-
tablished in various parts of the world
Il new section TO one of the church by
laws was read to the congregation last
Sunday, in which it was explicitly set
forth that no word of thanks or greet
ing be sent to the pastor emeritus"
as Mrs. Eddy has styled herself. In a
message also she criticised the ex-
change of presents on Christmas day
as wholly wrong and not III accord
ance with the church teachings.
Seldom has so much discussion been
occasioned by an order sent forth by
Mrs. Eddy. Thousands had bought
Christmas presents TO give to friends
and relatives. So affected We're the
majority of the followers Of the church
of the Christian Scientists by the veil
ed command hidden in the kindly
worded message ent forth by Mrs.
Eddy that they gave up their plans of
merrymaking and allowed Christmas
day TO pass unobserved.
That Mrs. Eddy should deem the mat
ter of such Importance as to add a
section to the bylaws of the church
also caused II sensation among her fol-
lowers. II appeared at first peculiar to
them that she should issue such an or
der after allowing many years to go
past without making any comment on
the worldwide custom, but it turned
out that Mrs. Eddy has been the re-
cipient year after year of hundreds of
kilograms, gifts and letters of thanks
and Christmas cheer upon the annual
Yuletide event. all Of which annoyed
her so that she decided TO put II stop
to il.
She then decided to issue Il ines
sage" which is the manner in which
which she sets forth what she consid
ers the evils of present giving in Christ
mas time. This message also forbids
the sending of any presents TO the
pastor emeritus on Thanksgiving,
Christmas, New Years or Easter.
