HOWf'S LONDON SHOWS

Howe's Great London Shows gave
two fine exhibitions in this city We'd
nesday
The show was we'll attended In the
afternoon and, Notwithstanding the
fact that the night was unusually cold
for this section, the evening perform
ance was even more largely attended
The attractive parade of the fore
noon had helped to awaken interest
and put confidence in the ability OF
the show to deliver the goods, which
they certainly did at both perform
ances.
The performing elephants and 9th
er trained animals are exceptionally
good. The riding and trapese per
formanceS were above the average
while the acrobatic and tight wire
stunts were simply immense. The lit
tie Jap tumblers and contortionists
formed a pleasing feature and there
were numberless funny acts besides
by the big band of clowns. The show
was we'll conducted and orderly. They
give exhibitions at St. Augustine to
day and at Jacksonville Friday anG
Saturday, which closes their road
work for the season. They will make
Jacksonville headquarters for the win

Twice the street railway question

that the report be sent TO the
printers. but Aid Gilman object
ed and then Aid. Marpfer moved
that the communication be sent to
the two committees named. which mo-
ton was carried. Gilman expressed
himself rs opposed TO taking any ac-
ton which would bind the council to
accept the committee Of fifty report.
Later Aid Ellis tried to secure he
passage of his ordinance providing
for the mountaineering OF the Harper
line from Forestave. to Field-ave.
Aid Goeschel wanted to have tae
street paving widened three feet on
each side. and Ellis told him it was
rot necessary to include this in the
ordinance as the franchise already
specifies it.

Then Aid Allan recalled to the
council the way in which the plea OF

per-ave. people ought not TO have any
more consideration than the people
OF bis own ward. Aid Field moved
that the matter lie on the table a
week and Aid. Thompson. who was
in the chair, declared the motion car
ried and refused to allow a rol-cal.
Aid Ostrowsk succeeded in having
the petition Of the General Motors Co.

During most Of the meeting the
aldermen were boisterous and more in

President link observed this DISPOSE
ton and called Aid Thompson to the
chair. Thompson ruled as best ne
could and was hailed as second
Uncle Joe Cannon when ne left the
chair.
Aid. Gilman, who has the reputa-
ton OF getting lots of things for the
Eighteenth ward, handed in modest
bunch OF requests which he had passed
as q sort OF Christmas offering. His
resolutions call for submission in the
budget OF estimates for a new police
station, new school in the vicinity
of Springwells and Ferndale-aves., and
new trunk sewers in Harbaugh and
Lawpdale-aves. He also wants new

RAILWAY EMPLOYEES ARE
GIVEN INCREASE IN WAGES
Several Michigan Roads Grant Boosts
and others Are In Prospect.

Several Michigan railroads. it de-
veloped. have already granted increas-
as to their employees and more are IN
contemplation, to take effect on or
before the first OF the year. The in
formation came from the railroad
commission and is partially confirm
ed by the local officials. General
Superintendent S. w. Brown, of the
Michigan Central. says that the con-
ductors ami brakemen on the road
were given an increase Of approx
mately 10 per cent several weeks
ago. The telegraph operators were
also offered an increase affecting 90
stations, but the offer was declined,
and the telegraphers are now trying
TO arrange a conference with General
Manager L'Hommedieu in the interest
Of a general increase.
Michigan Central switchmen have
also requested an increase in wages,
but action has been withheld, pend
ing the outcome of the strike in Min
nesota. IL Is said. The result OF the
troubles in the northwest will be the
basis OF negotiations with the switch
men here. 1t is understood con
ference between the officials and TIE
engineers and firemen will probably
he arranged soon to discuss n revision
of the wage schedule.
Telegraph operators on the Pere
Marquette were granted per cent
increase Sept. | and the firemen have
concluded negotiations for similar
raise. to take effect Dec. 15 Other
employees of the road, it is said have
been consulting with officials with a
view TO higher wages.

A queer superstitutinn clings to this

In many sections of Germany Christ
mas is celebrated I'm many diverse
ways. Yet all the festivities cling to-
gether by tradition and have many
parts quite similar. Santa Claus Is
the main feature and he differs a great
deal from the Santa Claus of America.
The German Kris Kringle never dis
tributes any toys. but he carries large
bag of nuts. These nuts are distrib-
uted among the German children on
Christmas day. Santa is peculiar in
es. They are for the children Who
have been dtsohedent during the past
year. When the nuts are distributed
the bad children receive switching
instead of their portion OF the nuts In
distributing the nuts they are usually
placed in the center of the table and
Santa Claus hands then. To the young
sters Frequently TIL. lads are too
anxious for their portion nf the good

combined They have all the good
things to eat that grace the home OF
the American children at Thanksgiv-
ing. and besides receive their presents
at the same time. Many Of the Ameri-
can games for the Christmas season
were originated I'm England hundreds
of years ago. such as blind mans buff.
and dipping for apples in tub Of
water. These games 1T first were only
for the Christmas festivities.
The English Christmas season lasts
from the night before December IS un-
til the first day of the new year, and
everything is merry during that time
The season. long years ago, was cele-
brated To a greater extent in England
than 1t Is today on account of the fact
that the heads of many of the churches
complained that the season should be
more sacred and not SO much given
over to the joyous programs. This
called a halt on the festivities, as the
churches were then the ruling powers
of the country. Since that time the
change has been felt right along The

There Is another side OF Christmas In
England that Is by no means az cheer.

Christmas spirit of its principal city.
London. Annually many, many thou
sands of dollars are sent in providing
Christmas cheer for the poor. Any
number of public dinners are given by
various charitable societies and veal

en- and children-are gathered in from
the city's highways and byways and
provided with warm clothing, house

Christmas day. sumptuous dinner is
served to nearly 1000 children, the
city's aldermen themselves acting as
walters and doing their best To instill
bit of real Christmas cheer into the
lives of the poor half starved little
waits who come To be fed
