After that there was a second dis
trfbution for stage children only In the
committee room Of Tammany hall.
Most OF the children had written re-
quests for certain articles, and as they
appeared one by one and gave name
corresponding with that on Mrs. Fer
nandez's list the present asked for was
delivered. Some Of these were OF
costly quality, having been purchased
with money donated to the cause.
Mrs. Fernandez said the children Of
the stage nowadays ask for useful
things rather than for playthings.
Since these events were inaugurated
it is estimated that more than $4,000
has been spent for gifts.-New York

such clever capering that every wo-

chorus, which it did with d will. At
the end Of the programme Mr. Pastor
sRnounced that banquet As await

Tammany hall.
After the little ones had been salts
fed in that respect they were sent up
to the main hall Of the building. and
there the really big feature OF the
evening took place. On the stage
stood three Christmas trees, bending
over from the weight of pretty things,
while the stage itself was heaped with
toys.

Admission was by invitation only,
and when the programme began the
house was crowded to the doors, the
balcony being given up largely to
poor children of the east side. Some
Of the actors were mere babies, but
they went through the business like
veterans. and the gravity Of most Of
them when singing their comic songs
was immensely amusing.
One of the players was presented as
Baby Esmond, a perfect .cherub, who
piped a love dftty and danced with
one foot held in the air. Mr.. Pastor
said she was Of 'this years crop" and

When the inventor was a girl, fifty
five or sixty years ago, in Munich, she
went to one of those schools where
German girls are taught to do, as her
daughter says, everything NIT the
hands" 1t was having to make
wreaths out of beads that suggested
to her the notion of making bead
Christmas trees. She set to work and
fashioned innumerable tiny loops of
green beads. each at the end of long,
slender wire. She bound the loops to-
gether in threes, making trefOils, and
the trefoils into branches and the
branches into tapering trunk. the
trunk being formed of nothing at all
but the individual wires massed to-
gether Then she trimmed the tree
with candles and those tiny waxen fig
ures which the Germans are adopts at
making and fixed it in a pot of sand
and melted wax. Her parents were
quite proud of it. Her father, who
was director of the Hofgarten in Mu-
Mich, showed it to his royal master,
and King Ludwig Immediately ordered

Fortune For Toys For the Poor.
The poor children of Pittsburg and
Allegheny are to benefit through the
expenditure Of an estate valued at
$4,000, left by the late George B.
Mutt. The will provides that the es-
tate shall go to the wife during her
lifetime and then is to be divided
among his children equally. If the
children all die before their mother. at
her death the estate is to be spent for
the purchase Of gifts and playthings
for poor children. especially those in
institutions. 1t was the wish of the
decedent that the money be expended
in small sums, to distribute it over as
large an area as possible and benefit
as many children as possible.

answer that this law has tended to di

plainly enough that in our State gener-

OPIATES IN MAINE.
Or. A. G. Young Denies That Their
Use is Increasing.

Editors kennebec Journal:
Early in August there appeared in
the newspapers of this state an item
under the heading opium in Maine
used largely by people deprived of
their supply Of liquor" 1t went on to
state that Commissioner Hamilton
Wright had recently returned from
Portland. Maine, where he had been to
max" an inquiry for the American
commissioners as to the use Of opium
and its products in this State. IN
Maine" the commissioner is made to
assert. I'm the country districts.
npiatcs are used considerably. par
ticuialiy among former drunkardS.
who, because of the fact that prohibi-
ton prevails, have been deprived of
WhiSkey."
This assertion, it seemed to me- was
untrue, and that this opinion, if thus
publicly expressed. after so slight and
restricted an Investigation as could be
made in q visit to Portland was unfair
to this state.
] had been asked by Hon. Hamilton
Wright to furnish him information on
he question of the use and the abuse
Of opium in Maine but before | could
do more than make beginning, this
newspaper item appeared. AS this
item i'll some way got into the news
papers premnturely. it appears to me
only fair to the people Of our State
that | publish the results of my in
1uiry. Letters We're sent to physi-
Ian% in various parts of the State.
md letters of inquiry were also sent
to druggists in every city and in every
county in the state. and the answers
which / have received furnish nothing
in support of the assertion that there
is any large use of opium.
The answers from the physicians to
the questions relating to the use of
opium and whether the use of the
drug is on the increase. are not of sc
much value as those from the drug
gistS Some of the doctors suggest
that the druggists are in a position to
give more trustworthy information
than they can.
Question /. ''To what extent is the
use of opium abuSed?" OF the few
physicians who answered this question
| four said that its use or abuse is only
very slight. One of those. in the cen
ter of the state. who for many years
has. as | know. had an extensive prac-
| tice, Us: 81 am happy to say that al
present. and for a period of several
years, have known of no one addicted
| to their use There was a time when
quite a large number took large
amounts. but everyone of those are
dead and the physician who was re-
snonsiblc for several habItues has also
died. he being. as | learned on good
| uthoritY, himself q victim. Strange
as it may seem, we had three phvSi-
clans who Welded to this addiction and
| became confirmed in the habit"
Another physician in the extreme
eastern part. who has q wide field of
practice says that the people of his To-
cality are entirely free from the habit
Three physicians answer that these
drugs are used to a considerable *
tent one of these says that he has
not seen 50 much Of the morphine
habit as he used to. Another says
