New York Dec. 2e.-Nev YorF eeleofated today the most oounteou. ohflstmas it has had in many years Idcai winter weather, clear. cold and sunshiny, marked the way.
 Ih1rty-seven thousand of the cltN's poor shared in the distribu- ton of Christmas dinners by the Sal vation Army, Timothy D. Sullivan and the Bowery Mission.
 Five thousand baskets and 900 bags, each containing fowl and 'fiXins' sufficient for family of i've persons or more, were distrib- uted by Commander Eva Booth of the Salvation Army at the Grand central Palace from l 1 to 1 o'clock.
 The people were admitted to the great hall in squads of 200 and pre- sented WiLh a basket of food. The usual Christmas dinner at the pal ace was abandoned, as Commander Booth was convinced that the re- clpients of the gifts preferred to take them to their own homes and prepare their dinners after their own fashion. This made it possible to add 1000 baskets to the amount usually distributed. In the after noon the usual Christmas tree and distribution of more than 5000 toys to the children began. Com mander Booth said that the poor had suffered more this year than last, as the price of food and rents had been advanced.
 More than 5000 of the homeless of the east side partoolz of the Christmas dinner at the Timothy D. Sullivan Assoclation rooms in the BOWery
 The majority of those who came for food were evidently in some need of clothing, for many were without oyercoats and hundreds wore only the remnants of shoes. The day was bitterly cold As each man de- parted from the hall pouch full of tobacco, pipe and a ticket for a pair of shoes were given him and then the hall was closed for the ad- mission of another group of 300.
 Harry Thaw's Christmas dinner at the TombS prison was sent down from big cafe on his order.

ABOUT A NEW STATION.
Some Reasons Advanced by Knowing

The report which has been circulate
ing for several days in regard to the
Wabash rebuilding their new station
seems to carry more truth than was
at first supposed.
Monday, Wabash officials were here
looking at the new station and discus
sing the advlsability Of a new building.
There are number Of substantial reas'
son why the present structure is made
quate and also inconvenient. Its prox'
unity to Jefferson st. leaves no posi-

TO MAKE MODEL ROAD.
Three Miles of Specimen Model
Dirt Road" to DO Made by Farm
ers Living North Of Town
From Plans Drawn by w.
W. Mckinney.

The agitation for good roads re-
newed by the LEDGER this spring Is
bearing fruit. The enterprising peo-
pie northeast Of town are making
three miles of splendid road. Begin
ming at the southeast corner Of the
McMurtry farm and running north
along the range line between Ranges
8 and Q to q point at the northeast
corner of II. Klotzs' farm. The road
is to be graded a width Of thirty feet
with q twelve and eighteen inch
crown throughout, side bitches to
have a slope of not less than one and
one half to one, culverts win be raised
to the new grade and all found defect
i've will be made new. This will make
an ideal dirt road and the farmers
who have hauling to do over 1t are to
be congratulated. Much Of the credit
for the success Of this undertaking is
due Messrs. George N. johnson, Jos.
Mongler and William Mason, Jr., who,
knowing the value Of good roads and
having faith in the appreciation OF
their neighbors, went down into their
pockets and guaranteed the necessary
amount Of money to do the work. In
conversation with the engineer, WV
Mckinney, who prepared the plans and
specifications for the construction, he
remarked that the ice was broken and
predicted that many would follow this
movement, as ii seemed not many
were aware before that the county
would contribute IN equal amount
to that raised by private subscription
for road Improvement.

WHAT TO DO WITH
THE BAILEY BABY.
Woman Prisoner and Child Is Costing
Galloway County Sheriff Both Cash
and Worry-Want Audrain
County to Foot the Bill.

tult0n 6hzettc.
Sheriff ]. L. Cole is In a quandary
about one Of his prisoners, Mrs. Alva
Bailey Of Audrain comfy, who was
indicted jointly with her husbund for
the murder Of Jay Lawder Of Farber,
and having obtained a change Of
venue was brought to Fulton for trial.
The trial will not take place until
July Is.
When Mrs. Bailey was about to give
birth to a child, the sheriff OBJ
tanned permission from the county
court to remove her to the county
infirminary. When the proposed re-
moval was announced to her, she be-
came very much excited and vowed
she would die before she would go
there. Whether she was ignorant OF
the excellent accommodations there
or whether she regarded a temporary
residence at a poor house as a disgrace
no one knows. However, Sheriff Cole
feared the effect on his prisoner
II he forced her to go to the farm and
was two b~ig-hearted to leave her In
Jail; SO at his own expense he provided
her with a private boarding place
in this city. The expense is rather
heavy, and the sheriff is wondering
whether he ought to continue to
bear 1t or return the prisoner and
the baby daughter recently born, to
the jail.
There certainly should be some way
of providing for such cases. They
seem to be Of such rare occrrence.
that nobody scenes to know where
the money to pay the bills is to come
from. The pay OF the Sheriff in Cal
layway county is just about large
enough to keep man poor. II the
fees we're sufficient to afford a surplus
over livingexpenses, we all might smile
over it as a good joke On the officer. Al
1t is, however, IL sno laughing matter
The county court of Galloway coun
ty since, Mrs. Bailey is not a cit
izen of this county, does not feel war
ranted in making any appropriation
In the opinion OF some, the Audrair
county court should meet the bill; To-
though the Baileys are In Callawa!
county, they are still technically Au
drain county prisoners.
Oallaway's sheriff has made no com
plant, but q good many people hav'
dropped on to the fact that he IL
bothered. No doubt, with a littl'
timely suggestion from the Audrair
county press, the county court Of Au
drain would invite Sheriff Cole to SEM
in his little bill.

THIEVES STEAL MONEY
AND CLOTHES.
Officer has Supects but Forced to Lib.
crate Them because Of Scarcely
Of Evidence.

Robbers broke into the Alton repair
shed, In the local yards, Sunday night
and stole a suit OF clothes and 80 be-
longing to foreman Tom Woodward
and a pair Of trousers and rs cents
from an assistant.
The robbery occurred sometime after
midnight while Woodward and his
assistant we're at work In another
part Of the yard. The shed was broken
into and the aforementioned articles
Of wearing apparel purloined and when
the two workmen returned to change
clothes they found theirs gone and
nothing to do but to remain In their
greasy overalls.
A Bloomer girl baseball team passed
through this city last night, and
Woodward suspected one Of the men
with the woman's team being guilty
but owing to the scarcity OF evidence
1t was impossible to hold him.

HARD TO GET JURORS.
Many on Panel in Edwards Case OPP
posed to Capital Punishment-Un-
usual Number Lawyers State.

S~lxty-seAen men were impanelled
for the jury In the Edwards murder
trial before the required forty men
could be bad. The attorneys will Of
course reduce this forty to twelve
before the trial to morrow morning.
A peculiar fact about the panel was
that out Of 81 men 81 were opposed
to capital punishment. One Of the
first questions asked a juror when he
is examined for the panel 10 a murder
case is, II the defendant be found guilty
of murder In the first degree OF which
the penalty is death would he return
q verdict accordingly. Lawyers say
this is an unusual number Of men OPP
posed to the death penalty in fact the
