that by the time we reached the farm
some one of us would have a black

SANTA CLAUS LETTERS
TO co TOWAsH|NGT0N
sPostmaster General Issues Orders That
All Such NIissives De Sent TO
Dead Letter Office

The postmaster-ge general Of the United
States has issued orders to the effect
that all letters addressed to Santa
Claus in the postottices of the country
shall be sent to the dead letter office.
This decree is disappointing to persons
5cbaritably inclined. who in past years
have made it practise OF pr curl IS
some Of these nissives and using t en-.
as a means of dispe Iising g mfort ano
good cheer to the senders thereof.
1t seems that the action o. the post
naster-general has been prompted by
the influence brought to bear upon the
department by organizations alling
themselves "scientific'' charity societies.
Members OF these associations profess
to go into the ethical side OF the ques-
ton of giving, and the claim has been
made by them that the custom OF m
dividuals receiving letters from the
postofiice and hunting up the sanders
with view of remembering them at
Christmas is demoralizing. The ten
dency to beg is ensendered ana fos-
tered, say the scientific" charity peo-
pie, and the system Is entirely narm-.
full to young minds.
Contrary to such conclusions are the
arguments advanced from the other
side. The edict that has just nc
forth as to the disposition of Santa
Claus letters win deprive many poor
child from enjoying a hounteous Christ
mas. 1t does not necessarily mean
that a baneful result will follow the
answering of such a letter In sub

letter gatherer. Seldom, II ever, are
such letters written by undeserv ng

George Hayes Instantly Killed at
The Beck Tunnel This
Morning.
FALLS 800 FEET FROM CAGE.
Son OF Superintendent of Spanish Fork

And One Child.
Especial to the "News.n)

Eureka, Dec. 22.-George Hayes was
killed in the Beck Tunnel about 1880
o'clock this morning, by falling from
the the cage and being preclpitated
from the 725-foot level to the 1.1o0-foot
level. His body was found at the bot
T tom terribly mangled.
Just how the accident happened is not
known, but the engineer became aware
that something was wrong from So
we're EARRING OF the cable. Hayes was a
toolnipper, and his duty was to carry
tools to the top for sharpening. This Is
usually done by placing them in a car,
but this time, it appears, Hayes took
them in his arms, 1t is supposed that
the instruments became entangled in
the cage tfmbers, causing the cage to
vibrate with sufficient force to throw
the man out Whether he was acting
on orders in the manner OF carrying the
tools Is not known.
Hayes was 90 years of age, and a
son of George Hayes, superintendent of
the Spanish Fork Coop. He leaves a
widow and one child. Mrs. Hayes before
her marriage was Miss Vera Evans of
Provo. The remains will probably be
taken to the latter city for burial.

WOMEN FIGHTING PLAGUE.
Sale of Red Cross Stamps Designed as
Part of Humane Crusade.

For the purpose of raising a fund
to fight against the ravages of tuberr-
culosis, rightfully named the white
man's plague" the Red Cross society
has inaugurated unique plan. A
stamp has been designed and printed
and the suggestion Is made that the
Same be used on letters, packages. ETC.,
sent out during the Christmas tide. Not
that the stamp will take the place of a
postage stamp, as explained In the toll
lowpling couplet:
1t will not carry any kind of mail:
but any kind of mail viii carry it.
Locally the matter has been taken UP
by the Woman's league, and to them
were sent consignment OF 100000
stamps. The league will be required to
pay for. them, to the amount of the cost
of printing. whether they dispose OF
them OF. not. The net proceeds. how
ever, will be devoted to local work In
the crusade against tuberculosis.
Upon the stamp Is printed Christ
mas greeting, and it very nicely takes
the place OF ribbon or other means of
fastening together parcel or as d
seal to letter. One penny Is the cost
of the stamp, and il each person would
purchase to the amount of from L to
10 cents, say the ladies OF the-ieasue9
a neat sum would be realized for the
purpose Indicated The stamps were
late in arriving here, but they are nov
on sale at all department stores, book
stores, drug stores. and Y. NJ. G. a.

for which they were designed pertains
only to Christmas, 1t will he seen that

HEAVY LOSS CAUSED
BY DEFECTIVE WIRING.
Brectlen Office Supply Company and
Nronroc's Gallery-Visited
BY Fire,

The biggest fire of the yea4%occurred
yesterday afternoon about 4:15,at the
Breeder Office Supply company on
west Second South street, causing q
loss estimated at 81. no. tx the supply
company losing asolI 900 worth of
stock in the fii1ishinl which was
on the second floor of the building and
where the fire started.
The cause OF the blaze was an e&-
posed electric wire lying close to a large
pile Of excelsior. Apparatus and men
from every fire station in the city ans
wered the alarm and the men worked
for several hours before they could
get the blaze under control and men
were on duty practically all night to
prevent the fire breaking out again.
When the blaze was discovered it had
got good start and was gaining rapid
Roadway when the department respond
ed to the alarm. The building was
filed with thick, black smoke and it
was a physical ilnpossibility for the
tirenen to get into it SO they had to
fight the flames from the outside, pour
ing in streams OF water until the seat
OF the fire was reached. Two floors
were Quilted and considerable damage
was done to the basement as the flames
got into the freight elevator shaft and
jumped to the third floor. A large
quantity of Office supplies was stored
in the building and the burning furni-
ture made so much black smoke that
the firemen could not penetrate it. For
four hours the firemen fought the
flames and then finally got them under
control. The two steamers from head
T quarters were on duty during this time
and streams of water We're hurled into
the building. At about s O'clock sta
tions No. and 5 We're relieved. but
the hose crew from No. 1 remained on
duty the greater part of the night.
The stock belonging to the supply
company was practically wiped out.
The annex to the main building in the
rear was Quilted, the floors falling in
when the heavy tilnbers burned away.
In the store proper smoke and water
did the most damage. The stock was
valued at $4,000 as an extra large
amount was on hand at the time. The
Monroe company occupied the sec
ond floor as a finishing room. There
We're ABOUT ouV plCAuieS IL tlio EltaCs
and all were destroyed. They we're
valued at more than $1,000. The sup
ply stock was insured for between
$4,000 and $4,000.
A somewhat peculiar incident in con-
nection with the fire is found in the
visit OF Mr.. Breeder to e. g. Holding
yesterday afternoon. Mr.. Holdings
place of business on west First South
street was visited by fire Sunday even
ing. Mr.. Breeder calling upon Mr..
Holding to express his regrets that the
fire has occurred and while the two
were standing at the front door of the
Holding establishment, the fire appara-
tbs forn No Q station passd rapidly
along west Temple street. Mr.. Bree-
den said to Mr.. Holden. well there's
the fire. department. now. wonder
where the fire is?" Very soon after he
returned to his store aid found the
place in flames. While he was offering
sympathy TO Mr.. Holding for his loss,
his own establishment was itself being
rapidly consumed.
