SANTA CLAUS MAIL
PosTMAsTER GENERAL ISSUES AN
 IMPORTANT ORDER.
Phflanthrople Societies On Request Al Poetemees, Can Get Letters And
 Act An santa Clans re
 Poor.

washiprtont Dec. 14.--In past years many communications have been re- ceived by the Postofiice Department re- questing delivery of so-called santa Claus" letters to phiiantnropic socie- ties and others in various parts of the country. but the requests have always been denied, the department taking the stand that letters of Importance would he cIasaed with the Santa Claus" let ters through error, that 1t would be exposing to private parties confidential correspondence; that the letters might contain valuables and that such . prac- tice would not be in keeping with the sanctIty of the mails.
 Now, however. Postmaster General Cortelyou has a more liberal attitude toward the children. as indicated by his action of today in issuing an order to postmasters all over the country (To whom letters full of trust and plead ing are coming in numbers from the little onesl. to let the people of their cities know through the newspapers that mail addressed to Santa Claus will be delivered to any responsible parties who will undertake to act as Santa C1auss agents in the matter. The order follows:
 'sOrdered that hereafter and until the close of the first day of January, 1908. poatmasters- are directed to deliver all  fees addressed plainly and unmistak- ably to Santa Claus without any other terms or expressions identifying the person for whom such letters are now intended, to any regular organized charitable society in the city or town of address, to be used exclusively for philanthropic purposes. In the event that claim should be made by more than one such society for the letters, so addressed. such letters will be equally divided according to the num- Der. between or among the societies making such claim.''
 As it was found that the name Kris Krinkle" appears in various city direc- tories, 1t was decided. in order to avoid confusfon and loss of letters intended for persons of that name, that the new regulation should apply only to Santa Claus. who appears to have no namesake.

Lame Man Arrested by Police for Drun-
 kenness Yesterday Afternoon
 Made Trouble.
 Nick Jarnigan. with only one leg, two crutches and more liquor than he could carry without visible effort, made trouble for members of the police de- partment and incidentally for himself yesterday afternoon.
 Jarnigan was arrested by Police Off, ficer Norman at the corner of Monroe Street and North Perry Street where, 1t is alleged. he had created disturb ance by disorderly conduct of a gen. eral nature. He was taken to the police headauarters in the patrol wagon. l
 onicer Potter Smith of the police department. essaying to take Jarnigan up the stairway that leads to cells and slumbers, had his hands fuil---and his arms and lap, too. Jarnigan did not wish to go up the steep path to police penftenee and so remarked in . patois that was as pungent and picturesque as if a poet had writ it down. He waved two crutehes and condoled with himself in some meas ure. He declined to be helped and at last leisurely limped upward.
 He was incarcerated on charge of drunkenness and will have hearing before Recorder E. r. Baber.
