Especial to The sentInel.)

Washington, Dec. 23.-As a re-
suit of the order of the postoffice
department allowing the delivery of
so-called Santa Claus letters" to
philanthropic societies and others in
various parts of the country, the
mails are being flooded with appeals
to Saint Nicholas.
In past years all Santa Claus COM
munications deposited in the mails
have beer sent to the dead letter Of

of the poor, who are the principal
correspondents of Santa Claus. has
caused Postmaster General Meyer to
adopt & more liberal attitude this
year and to order that such letters
be delivered to responsible societies
or individuals who ask for them.
Reports from various large cities
state that an unprecedented number
of letters. addressed to Santa Claus
are now being mailed, and that the
activity of the correspondents is
probably due to Mr.. Meyers order.

number of dishonest or unworthy

MANY FAMOUS
KENTUCKIANS
TO GATHER TONIGHT
Also Grover Cleveland, Alton B. Parker,
Chief Justice Fuller and others will
Gather at Kentucky Banqnet.
Especial to The sentinel.)

Especial to The Sentine1.)
New York, Dec. 23.-Justice John
NJ. Harlan of the United States su-
preme court is the principal speak
er on the program of the fourth an
nual banquet of the Kentuckians at
the Plaza hotel tonight. The dis
tinguished jurist is native son of
the Blue Grass state and has select
ed Kentucky as the subject of his
address.
Others who will gather about the
banquet board with Justice Harlan
are Chief Justice Fuller, Justice
White and Justice Brewer of the su-
preme court; ex-President Grover
Cleveland; Governor Wilson of Ken
lucky; Governor Hughes of New
York; Attorney General Bonaparte;
Ambassador James Bryce of Eng
land; Chief Justice Fitzpatrick of the
Canada supreme court; Judge Alton
b. Parker; Judge George Gray of
Delaware, and Senator's Cullom. For
alSer and Knox.
Such distinguished array of
speakers has not been assembled at
a banquet in New York for long
timle. Every man and woman of
Kentucky blood in the metropolis
has been invited to attend. Ladies
are not to dine with the men, but
the boxes and the plaza overlooking
the banquet hall have been set aside
for them. A reception to Justice
Harlan and his wife will follow the
dinner and speech-mabing.
While hone of the speakers will
DISCOURSE on politics and all of the
addresses will be of non-partisan
nature and mainly complimentary to
the distinguished jurist who recent
ly celebrated the goth anniversary
OF his confirmation by the senate,
there are attending political circum-
stances that will render Justice Har-
lans address of great interest to the
people of all sections.
When the jurist was active in Ken
lucky affairs, republican of his stall
wart type was not highly popular on
election day. although on other days
OF the year the kentucklans were
very fond of John Harlan. Thus,
while popular personally. Mr.. Harlan
was ingloriously defeated when he
made the race for governor of the
Blue Grass state MS the head of the
republican ticket some thirty odd
years ago. Shortly afterward he
went to Chicago. and in 1877 he was
nominated for the supreme bench by
President Hayes.
At the time that Harlan was max
ing his "whirlwind" campaign for
the governorship OF Kentucky he had
in his law office youth named Au-
gustus e. Wilson. Today Wilson
is the republican governor of Ken
lucky and will speak at tonights
banquet. What these two men Will
have to say to the exiled Kentuck-
ians of New York about the politi-
cal history of the state will doubt
less be exceedingly interesting, for
both know the novel and humorous
as well as the really substantial
phases OF Kentuckians as few men do.
