White House.

There will be no special celebration of
Christmas at the White House. The
Christmas dinner will be a family one,
with all the children at home. The
President will remain good part of the
day with his family and take some much
needed exercise If the weather permits.
President Taft has ordered that the prec-
edent established by President Mckinley
and followed by Mr.. Roosevelt-that of
giving a turkey to each married man con-
nected with the White House-shall be
adhered to this Christmas. Tomorrow
something over 100 turkeys will be dis
tributed. Each clerk in the executive
Offices will get IS gold piece. this being
the way President Roosevelt cared for
his clerks. Mr.. Taft's Christmas presents
to the White House force will cost him
close to $500.

Dressed Hog Stolen.

Special Correspondence Of The Star.
ALEXANDRIA, Va. December o, 1909.
A movement for the erection OF a last
ing memorial in the shape of a temple to
George Washington will be formally
launched at q banquet which will be held
here February 30 by Alexandria Wash
instoAl Lo6ee. No. 81. A. r. & A. NJ. Among
the invited guests are the President OF
the United States and the grand masters
from throughout the country.
Some time ago the lodge held big
bazaar and raised the preliminary funds
for the work. 1t is said that the pro-
posed temple will cost half million dol
lars. Masons from all sections of the
country will. it is understood, be asked
to become identified with the work and
assist in the movement.
At this time the plans for the banquet
are in tentative form. 1t, however, prom
ises to be one of the most elaborate af-
fairs Of its kind ever before given here.
Stole a Dressed Hog.
Thieves as we'll as other people are
actively preparing for Christmas festivi-
ties. as was evidenced by two thefts COM
mited last night. The first to be report
ed was the loss of dressed hog weigh
ing 100 pounds, which was taken from the
woodshed in the rear of the home OF
Tom Johnson, colored, $40 South Royal
street. The hog was dressed yesterday
and carefully placed in the woodshed, to-
gether with another one, which had also
been dressed. The thieves, however, ap-
parently had sympathy for Johnson, for
they left the second hog.
Another robbery was that of the hen
merry of Mr.. Travers, who lives in Skaters
lane, Alexandria county, north of this
city. The thieves carried away fifteen
hens two turkeys and one rooster. A
report of this robbery was also made
TO the police this morning.

Chicago. - In an interview pub

ing owner of a London newspaper, de-
clares there is great danger of war
between Germany and Great Britain.
"The Americans are so busy" said
Lord Northcliffe, with the affairs of
their own gigantic continent that they
have not the time to devote to the
study of European politics, which are
more Kaleidoscope in their changes
than are those of the United States.
There is an impression in this
country that some hostility exists be-
tween the people of Great Britain and
of united Germany. l know the
Germans intimately. From childhood

have many German family connec-
tions, and l venture to say that out
side the usual body OF Angfophobes
one meets in every country there is
little hostility to the British on the
part of the Germans.
"And, on the other hand. there Is
in England no dislike of Germany.

needs, and IL imitation be the sin

Novel Gift For Education.

In these days of large gifts for
philanthropic purposes 1t takes some
thing of startling novelty or pro-
digious size TO attract even passing
notice. The Congregational Educa-
tional Society is the recipient of a
favor that is entitled to attention.
An entire town in Southern Missouri
has been made over to the organiza-
tion upon the condition that 1t shall
establish and maintain there an
academy for the Industrial training
OF young men for forestry and min
ing work. The town has some $50
dwellings, stores, municipal build
ings, a bank and all the features of
a live village. The donor is tne
Missouri Lumber and Mining Com
pany, which. having exhausted the
timber resources of the vicinity, has
no further use for the town. Indus
trial education has leaped into popu-
lar favor In recent years. Few dis
pute its value to the state. The
Missouri concern that gives the town
of Grandin for the establishment of an
academy shows practical interest In

In Begged Husband Prove
His Her ffe--Ju and
In Tears at the Reeia

Paris.-"A man whose wife is dying
of an agonizing disease is justified in
killing her to put an end to her suffer-
ing IL she implores him to do So"
So a jury, perhaps rather emo
tional, decided in the Court of Assizes
here, and acquitted Edmond Baudin,
who, at her prayer, shot and killed
his wife on January 81 last.
Nine. Baudin had been afflicted
with asthma for years. 1t gripped
her throat, it was n weight on her
lungs, it stopped her breath. She
begged her husband to aid ner by
killing her quickly to rid her of the
affection that was slowly throttling
her.
Baudin, a mechanic, thirty-nine
years old, rough and plain spoken
man. sought to justify his act with
words as straightforward as they
were made dramatic.
Tears streamed from mis- eyes while
he testified. The jurors also wept,
and the women in the courtroom were
semi-hysterical
The presiding Judge, who disap-
proved of the jury's verdict, re-
marked:
"For the moment the bandage on
the eyes of justice was a handker-
chief"
"My wife, whom ! loved dearly,
had suffered fearfully from asthma, 4"
Baudin testified. "She could not
sleep. II she laid her head on the
pillow she would cry: I am choking!
In the name of the good God, end my
misery! Let me die!
"On the night she-she died she
was suffering intensely" Baudin went
on between sobs. THE medicine she
was taking was nearly exhausted.

COMMERCIAL
Weekly Review of Trade and
Market Reports.

r. C. Dun & Co.'S weekly review
of trade says:
While there are a few bad or
uncertain spots in the business sit
uation, they are not sufficient to
change the generally cheerful and,
in some respects. brilliant outlook.
The movement in iron and steel is
so tremendous, reaching at some
points to practically full capacity and
resulting in instances of premiums
paid for prompt delivery that the
only doubt cast upon it by anybody
is that the pace may be TOO fast. The
reports from the principal cities and
especially the eloquent statistics of
rapidly expanding building opera
tions, confirm these figures. Tho
foreign trade Is unsatisfactory in
view of the decreased exports and in
creased imports. but It should not
be overlooked that the former is the
result in part of the more rapid ad-
vance in prices here than abroad,
while the big imports testify to the
Increased spending capacity of our
people"
BradstTeet's says.
Trade continues of favorable pro-
portions, demands for staple lines
being noteworthy features, though
there is tone Of conservatism in
many reports. Shipments are heavy
and in many Instances buyers are re-
questing prompt deliveries. Business
on spring accounts Is also OF good
volume. Retail trade is getting into
