looking packages were heaped up on
the floor. Interesting looking packages
that promised all sorts Of interesting
contents. The incoming parcels were
heaped high at one end while down at
the other end of the distributing room
were the packages which were in
tended for delivery in the city. The
streets were marked down in chalk on
the floor and the packages thrown in
heaps opposite the names of the streets.
This was the preliminary assortment
for a more detailed assortment later on.
Express Offices Crowded.
At the express offices similar scenes
are being enacted. The Wells Fargo
office seems to have the biggest rush,
and there scores of people are waiting
at the counters all the day long, some
to get packages, but the majority with
outgoing bundles. One table is devo-
ted entirely to wrapping, a clerk being
stationed there to assist in bundle
tying.
Meantime the deliverymen are rush
ing in and out, carrying great loads of
packages for delivery within the limi-
ted delivery districts" Extra help is
employed in all departments of the ex-
press company, and the employees, from
local superintendent down to the hum
blest clerk, put in all day Sunday try
ing to catch up with delayed work.

HELD Mr.. BILLS FOOT.
John Rhodes Made a Good Tackle of
Negro Sneak Thief.

A negro whose name is supposed to
be Williams Bills, is locked up in city
Jail on a charge of larceny. This negro
caused considerable excitement Satur-
day afternoon by stealing a suit of
clothes from John Rhodes, proprietor
of the second hand store at Tenth and
Kansas avenues. Rhodes saw the negro
with the clothes. and gave chase After
running the thief several blocks,
Rhodes overlook him at Garfield school,
on lower Quincy street. Here the pur-
suer and pursued tangled, and Rhodes
was knocked down, but would not re-
lease his grip on the foot-racer. The
janitor of the school came to Rhodes
assistance when the prisoner broke a
light out of the school house in an
effort to escape. The police were call
ed, and then the negro changed his tao
tics. AS the officers approached, he
fell over, apparently in a At. The Off
GERS believed he was playing possum,"
and loading him in the wagon, hauled
him to the station. Here they poured
water in his face to wake him up"
but he only rolled over on his face to
protect 1t from the water. He was still
playing off when dragged into the cell
room. Here the other prisoners began
experimenting on him, and he came
to- rather than submit to their pranks.
The negro was wearing the suit which
he had stolen from Rhodes, having
changed in the store before being dis
covered.

Usual Christmas Present, Ten PEI
Cent of Yearly Salary.

Chicago, Dec. 23.-Directors Of the

Christmas present. amounting to 10 per
cent of the yearly salary of each en-
ploye. The custom of giving each en-
ploye of one years standing a Christ

salary has been followed by the COM
pany for eight years
This year the employees number about
5000. and the total amount they will re-
ceive will approximate $350,000, exceed
ing by $4,000 the total of last years
Christmas present. In the eight years
during which the custom has been OBJ
served the company has given to its
employees s., $4,000.
Employees on the sick list or laid OF
temporarily because of slackness OF
work will receive their share of the dis
bursement.
A novel feature of the directors meet
ing was the election of R. T. Crane III,
former head of the Bridgeport plant,
to the board of directors. The election
places three generations of the Crane
family on the board of directors, r. T.
Crane. founder of the company, being
president. and R. T. Crane, Jr., second

Man Dying From Disease Takes Car
bolic Acid to Hurry Death.

Kansas City, Dec. 23.-Charles c. RI
ley, former department manager fol
the Emery, Bird, Thayer Dry Goods
company. who year ago next New
Years day went to live in Paloma, La.
to regain his failing health, returned
with his wife to their home at 3911 East
Tenth street at 10 o'clock yesterday
morning to await death within a few
weeks.
His strength was barely sufficient
upon his reaching home, for him to
climb one flight of stairs to the bath
room. He had been in the room but a
minute or two when his wife called to
him.
I'm all right" he said, but his voice
sounded strange.
She pushed open the door and found
him lying on the floor. He was holding
in his hand an empty vial which had
contained carbolic acid. AS she stoop-
ed to speak to him, he smiled and whis-
pered:
"Goodby, dear!''
There were several friends in the
house, who had met the Riley's at the
depot and escorted them to their home,
and upon Mrs. Riley's giving the alarm
someone telephoned for a physician. The
doctor reached the house within ten
minutes, but Mr.. Riley was already
dead
Coroner G. B. Thompson said that an
inquest was unnecessary where the
cause of death was so plain. The label
on the aclQ DOIIIe SnoWeu that MI
Riley had purchased it in Paloma, and
that he had likely many days ago
planned to end the hopeless struggle
to regain his health.
Three years ago, while Mr.. Riley was
serving his thirteenth year as manager
of the wooden dress goods department
of Emery, Bird, Thayer's his health
failed. He kept on working and a year
later took upon himself additional
work During the holidays last year
he suffered nervous proStratiOn and
never returned to his work. His nerv-
Gus system seemed to be utterly shat
tered, and the trip to the south, which
was his last hope for recovery, failed
to build him Up.
