DECORATIONS FOR CHRISTMAS
Holly, Crows Foot and Evergreen
From Down the River,

GTOm 0OWn LILO xS4SOXs
Hundreds of persons are now employed in
the river counties Of Maryland and Vir-
ginia gathering holly, crows foot. princess
pine and other evergreens for shipment to
this city and Baltimore for use as Christ
mas decorations. Commencing in the lat
ter part of this week, the steamers arriving
here from down-river ports will be laden
with many large bundles, boxes and crates
of the evergreen. 1t is stated that crows
foot is quite plentiful this year and that
there will be an ample supply Of 1t. Holly
is not so plentiful, but 1t is thought that
the receipts from down river will be up to
the average, and that the local market will
be well supplied The holly this year is
said to be full of berries, and the berries
are brighter in color and larger than usual.
Some mistietoe will, as usual. come from
down river to dealers here. but the supply
from the river counties is. as a general
thing, not large, and nothing beyond the
usual supply is expected. The Maryland
and Virginia mistletoe Is In great demand
here, as It is said that 1t is handsomer in
color and has more and larger berries than
that coming from other sections.
While numbers of Christmas trees, both
of cedar and, pine are brought here by the
steamers from down the river, the bulk OF
the Christmas tree supply Is from the coun-
try surrounding this city, and Is brought
into town In big country wagons. But lit
tie OF the crows foot. princess Pine or
laurel comes to this city from the river
made up Into ropes or wreaths, or In other
forms for Christmas decorations, but these
are made up after 1t arrives here. Christ
mas Is aleady in the air at the steamboat
wharves. and by the end OF this week the
heavy Christmas traffic, both to and from
this city, will have started.

England to Tackle

Special Correspondence of The Star.

special correspondence OF The Star.
LONDON. March %, 1906.
roHN BURNS, the stalwart representa-
tive Of labor In the cabinet and the
president of the local government
board, is going to tackle the tramp. He
ding to make him work, or make his life
burden to him. Under his supervision
departmental committee has been studying
the Weary Willie" and his ways for some
time and has just issued report suggest
ing a practical method of improving him
OF the fnce CT the earth.
The basis of the scheme lies In exercising
a judicious discrimination between the ro-
bust vagabonds who infest the highways
and whine at back doors In towns and cities
and the honest workmen who are driven to
go ION tramp" by misfortune. The former
are to be placed in labor colonies where
they will be compelled to submit to the
primal law. He that will not work neither
shall he eat" The latter, instead OF being
treated as suspicious characters and GRIM
fnals, are to be aided in their search for
work. The committee proposes:
1. A new and harder regime under police
control instead of the poor law for the
casual:
2. Preferential treatment ana real as
