CHRISTMAS CHEER
FOR SICK And POOR
City Institutions Make Day
Happy for Those in
Their Charge

Christmas has come and gone-come
with it's holly, its church bells and pres
ents; gone, but leaving a spirit which
vii remain until tho needles fall from
the Christmas trees. the candy is eaten,
the schools reopened and the holidays
are over and work and necessity reassert
themselves
All over the city the people were ready
for the dawn Of Christmas Day. The chill
dren were the first to awake. And then
what a running and scampering there
was. Some had seen the tree and their
presents the night before, so they wound
up the engines and shot off the pop
guns, while fathers and mothers were
only too glad to be aroused. r.
Then came the preparations for the
dinner BY this time the bells were
ringing for church, and the family troop
ed off to listen to the Christmas sermon
and sing Christmas music. And then
the dnner-words are not needed here
to tell of the long tables surrounded with
grandparents and grandchildren and
fathers and mothers. and covered with
all the good things of Christmas After
that everybody did something different.
No patient was too sick in any Of the
hospitals of the city to be overlooked by
the Christmas spirit
Christmas trees and holly were I'm al
most every ward and in many presents
were given 20 the lnvalids. Wherever
there were children there were toys and
dolls and playthings. In many of the
hospitals stockings were hung up for the
little boys and girls.
ALL WERE PROVIDED FOR.
Children IN other Institutions. such as
orphan asylums. schools and the like,
were equally well provided for. while
the old folks i'm the homes for the aged
were made happy Even the prisoners in
the worShouse and police station were
given some Of the Christmas joy.
At the New Castle County Hospital and
al the State Hospital for the Insane the
inmates were made as happy as possible.
At the State Hospital a turkey dinner was
served. and al the county hospital chicken
relgned. At both institutions religious SER
vices werc held At the county hospital
mass was celebrated and a choir from
this city sang.
Trolley men. II Is estimated. received
$1,000 from passengers who gave some
thing extra" with each fare
The salvation Army donated groceries
and provisions to many families. One
thousand dollars had been received dur
ing the Christmas week and this will sup
port 1870 families during the winter. The
army held an entertainment and Christ
mas treat in the hall on Fourth street last
night for deserving mothers and chill
dren. Three hundred and sixtv-fve Christ
mas boxes were distributed last night.

PARIS, via Brussels, Dec. 6.-ln the
belief that the attack on President Fai-
Heres by Jean Mathis, a restaurant
waiter. in the Rue De L'Etoille yester-
day. was IN some way inspired by the
Royalists. the police Of Paris are today
making a quiet canvass in many Of the
well known Royalist headquarters.
A large amount of correspondence has
been seized, the nature Of which the po-
lice will not make known. Arrests are
anticipated.
For fear that the news of the attack
will give the public an exaggerated Idea
Of the activity OF the Royalists, the gov
ernment has placed strict censorship
on all news relating to the affair.
