Holiday Decorations

- INDISPENSABLE for holiday
:: : :: :: :: :: !: :: :: :: !:
n1EGk decorations are the orna-
S5MlS ments of glass and tinsel
C& which are used not only to
" adorn trees, but to lend gay
ETY. to the aspect Of dinner
tables and house interiors at Yuletide,
and immense quantities of them are
sold each season
They all come from one place-the
village of Lausha, in the Thuringian
Mountains, in Germany That region
is the veritable Toyland-the real
home of Santa Claus. Vast quantities
Of Christmas playthings, mostly OF
wood or Papier-mache, are made there
by the peasants, who do the work il
their homes; and a rather curious
feature of the industry is the way in
which it is split up and specialized,
one village turning out nothing but
hobby-horses, another producing only
Noah's Arks, and so on.
Thus it comes about that the popu-
lation of Lausha devotes its attention
mainly to the production of ornaments
for Christmas trees-though it also
manufactures enormous numbers of
glass eyes. This little town turns out
not only great numbers of such eyes
for human beings, but also glass eyes
for taxidermists' use, for dolls, and
for toy animals 1t is the worlds prin-
cipal center for this industry.
The chief object sought in the max
ing of tree ornaments. Of course, is
glitter. Most of them are of glass,
blown into fantastic and often beauti-
full shapes pigments and
metals being employed to lend addi-
tional brilliancy.
The people of Lausha are all glass
blowers. They do the work ia their
homes, but the rough glass is provided
by big dealers who contract for the
purchase OF the wares thus produced.
Among other things, the workers turn
out incalculabie numbers of the famil-
lar glass marbles so dear to every
childish heart-these being made in
moulds from long sticks of glass in
which several colors are combined.
Unfortunately, giass-making is &
very unhealthful occupation, and the
people of Lausha literally give their
lives for Santa Claus, few of them sur
viving long enough to reach old age.

BROUSSARD INTRODUCES
BILL THAT WILL MAKE
new ORLEANS MARKET
Plan to Ship Free Cattle
From South America.
Would Make Us Free Of the
Meat Trust.

Washington, Dec. 18.-COngreSS-
man Broussard has introduced bill
which, if it becomes law, will make
New Orleans the greatest meat
market in the United States end will
prohibit forever any possible chance
of the meat trust from gaining con-
troll of the supply and the market.
Meats will drop in prices fully 30 per
cent, and this proposed legislation
brings about this complete reyolu-
ton of conditions simply by the
amendment of the laws governing
the importation of cattle, making 1t
possible for the great cattled-breed-
ing sections of Central and South
America to ship the cattle which
now die of old age to New Orleans
for slaughter.
The bill will make available i'm
mediately $4,000 head of cattle from
Spanish Honduras alone and an
equal number from Guatemala. The
great cattle market of Venezuela
will also be within five deys OF New
Orleans, and the State OF Sonora,
Mexico, where meat Is being sold
at this date at 4 1-2 cents Q pound.
will be ready to ship to New Orleans
and ports of the Gulf Of Mexico up
wards of 10000 head of cattle >
year.
There is:jn sight within five days
travel of New Orleans, fully l75,-
600 head of the finest class OF cattle
that this market has ever seen, ready
| for shipment. This industry In still
in it's infancy. never having been
fully developed for the reason that
there has been no market for the
| overproduction of cattle.
Owners of cattle-breeding farms
| have held down the rate of increase
| in their herds for this reason, but
with four or five years, before the
great Panama Exposition could be
completed, these nations to the
south of .he United States would be
shipping fully 100000 head OF cattle
for immediate slaughter annually,
| making tic pc.,rIc of the United
States free of the meat trust and
the unreasonable prices now asked
for a quality of meat far inferior
to that which is allowed to die OF
old age in any one of the tropical
countries, or the thousands of cattle
killed annually ia these countries
in order that their hides might be
exported to the United States and
Germany, while the meat is allow.
ed to rot and become feasts for the
scavenger birds.
In the meantime the poor of the
United States are charged all kinds
of prices for food, simply because
this overproduction is not allowed
admittance to the market OF the
United States.
To New Orleans the importation
of 800, 900 head Of cattle every yea1
will mean the establishment Of gian'
packing-houses and the diverting o.
trade from Chicago, Kansas City ant
other packing-house centers; thu
employment of large number o
men and the bringing away from
the present establishment packing
house centers to New Orleans thu
vast amounts of money now shipped
,, from all over the South. 1t will
, awaken a new industry and maxi
New Orleans q very powerful com
petitor for the foreign business nov
controlled by the meat trust OF tn
Middle West.

MURDERED AND BURNED.

Durham. N. c., Dec. 20.-The
charred bones of l.. Sanders, his
22-year-oid daughter, Mary, and his
4-year-old granddaughter, Irene
Overton discovered to-day in the
ruins of their home at Hester, near
here, gave. startling evidence to one
of the most atrocious crimes ever
committed in this section.
Nathan Montague, a young negro,
accused to-day by a coroner's jury
of assault, murder and arson, is be-
iieyed to have killed Mr.. Sanders
and his little granddaughter and
then to have attacked and finally
cut the throat of Miss Mary sand
ers, leaving all three bodies IN a
pool of blood in the house, to Wnlch
he is thought to have set fire.
The negro is safe tonight IN the
State Penitentiary at Raleigh, but
angry mobs are reported to be gath
ering to seek vengeance. Sherln
Wheeler foiled an irritated crowd at
Chester in rushing his prisoner TO
Durham. The sheriff, not wishing
to take any chances with the people
who were reported to be coming mere
On a special train after Montague,
rushed the negro to Raleigh.
1t is charged that the negro, VINO
had been at hog-killing in the
afternoon, which Mary Sanders also
attended, went to her home at night,
killed the father and little grand
daughter by means not yet determln-
ed. attacked Miss Sanders and after
ward cut her throat in struggle
In the yard He is believed to have
set fire to the house and burned the
bodies. The charred remains were
found early today.
The finding of Miss Sanders skirt
covered with blood in the negro's
possession, and knife at the scene
of the tragedy which was identified
as the one used by Montague at the
hog killing, forms the chfet eVloence
against Montague.
Near the ruins of the Sander'
house a path of blood leading to
nearby we'll indicates that an at
tempt was made to cast the girl int
the we'll. Strands of auburn hai
were found on the we'll posts ant
near the house, giving evidence o
the stubborn but vain struggle TO
life which the girl made.
The discovery of a partly-loade'
pistol near the well at the Sander
home. and the fact that neighbor
declare they heard pistol shots JUS
before they saw the flames las
night, are believed to indicate tina
Mr., Sanders and his little grand
daughter were shot and instantl'
killed before the attack on Mis-
Sanders, though the burning OF tn
bodies swept away any clew as t
the exact manner of their death.
The negro denied his guilt to-nlgh'
but the blood on his person and tn
fact that he was to have reporte
at the Sanders home last night 70
some work are thought to furnis
strong evidence against him.
