Overcoats for Poor Boys.

One of the prettiest scenes was wit
messed at the store of Saks & Co. when
that firm observed its annual custom of
distributing 100 overcoats to as many
needy little boys.
An elaborate observance of the holiday
occurred at the Y. NJ. G.. A. where Gerald
Smith, the social secretary, had arranged
to make the resident members of the
Bachelors Club feel at least a semblance
of the old-time home celebration. There
were big Christmas trees and the branches
were heavily laden with gifts. Nearly four
score young men participated in the
breakfast which followed the distribution
of presents.
Seventy-five poor families of East
Washington were made happy by the con-
gregation of Waugh NJ. E. Church. Pres
ents of all sorts were distributed early
yesterday morning at the church.
Though far from home, the officers
and sailors on the Italian cruiser Ell
ruria did not lack for holiday joys.
There was a big tree bedecked with
presents for the sailors, as well as
dinner and an entertainment in the
evening. The officers were the guests

fathers life.

Galceran Ferrer broke down. 1t was

undaunted revolutionist was himself
again.
Ferrer declined to receive the last
sacraments and turned away from the
two priests of the Order of Peace and
Charity who had been sent by the
prison authorities to offer him the
final conslation of the church.
When the hour of his execution ar
rived he walked bravely through the
prison yard to the ditch in the shad-
ow of the encircling wall. Without a
culver he faced the twelve infantry
men, who, at the word of command,
fired simultaneously.
When the report of the volley had
died away Ferrer lay dead upon the
ground.
Previous to the execution precau-
tons had been taken to forestaH a
possible attempt at rescue by doub-

PARIS, October 13.-The fate o.
the revolutionist Ferrer. who was
executed at Barcelona today, has
aroused since the beginning of his
trial intense interest in France. The
Paris papers today devote pages to
the case.
The expressions in the morning
papers, prepared for publication be-
fore the sentence of death had been
carried out, indicate the feeling here.
Even those sheets which are most
moderate in tone expressed the hope
that King Alfonso would intervene
to prevent the contamination of the
I political assassination" of "a revo-
lutionary idealist," while the radical
papers indulge in the most violent
language, placing responsibility for
Ferrer's condemnation upon the SUI
premacy of the clerical reaction in
Spain.
M. Jaures, the deputy who yester-
day addressed a mass meeting of
protest, had an interview in a morn
ing paper in which he predicted that
if Ferrer was shot q conflagration
would be started which would not be
extinguished until Spanish political
life has been purged of the clerical
influences which are paralyzing the
progress of the nation and shocking
the conscience of Europe"
