Christmas.

Tn one short week Christmas Day will again have arrived. in one short week the world will again be living the day to which it has looked forward for the past twelve months. And having completed that day, it will look forward to the next Yule- tide as it has been doing every sea- son throughout the centuries.
 No writer has ever done justice to the subject of Christmas. Perhaps Dickens has come as near as any; but even this prince of story tellers, in his Christmas Carol. could not quite touch the inner mystery Of the day And it never will he touched until the master genius of the world shall pluck from the mind of a child the thoughts that run riot on Christ mas Eve and place them on paper. Then We shall have the true story of Christmas and we shall not have it sooner.
 But no matter We all get some thing of the spirit. We all get a little of its unselfishness, little of its love and, let us hope, a little of its divinity.
 Aside from its religious signifi- canoe it is doubtful if there is any influence in the world quite so potent as d civilizing factor as the influ- ence of Christmas. He who has gone beyond its pale is indeed to be pitied; and he who can live in the full sunlight of the Christmas spirit is one of the most fortunate of all the sons of men.
 Some day the Christmas spirit will spread throughout the whole year; but for the present let us make the most of the day as it is.

DON I TURN
 0FF LIGHTS StoPekeepePs Want Them
 This Week AT DISCRETION 0F COUNCIL Continuance of Ornamental Lights Means Much Busi- ness to Merchants in Christmas Sales.
AT DISCRETION OF COUNCIL

The recent decision of the council for the dscOntinuance of lights in the ornamental street standards in the business section of town, except on special occasions. has excited some anxiety among the merchants of the town. Although there has been no cessation of the lights up to the present, the merchants would con slider it very disastrous to their sales at this time. if the streets were dark ened, leaving only the arc lights at the street corners.
 During the following week the storekeepers expect to make their heaviest sales of Christmas presents and have gone to much expense and trouble to make their stores attractive for the Christmas shoppers. from whom they expect so much business this week. And they consider it an essential to their sales to make the streets as light and cheery as possi- hle. and depend in a good measure upon the ornamental lights to help show off the displays in their show windows, even though their stores may not he open.
 An interview with a large number of the stOrekeepers made it apparent they would much rather have the arc lights turned off. and continue the ornamental lights. if either must nec- essarily be done
 The councils decision Wednesday right was not an arbitrary one. and left the matter to the discretion of COuncilmen Cisnev and McDermott just what occasions should merit the turning on of the juice in the orna- mental standards: and it is very evil dent that these councilman have deemed the weekend of Christmas shopping of sufficient importance to make the streets as cheery as possible
 At the meeting Wednesday night the vote was four to one for the cessation of the ornamental service Councilman McElroy voting in the negative. his colleagues, deeming it the lighting contract, to continue the old arc lighting system until the lighting question was completely set tied to the satisfaction of the tax payers of the city.
 It would certainly work to the ma terial discomfOrture Of the merchants ir dispOsing of their big Christmas stocks, if the streets were darkened this week. and it is probable there will ne no action in the matter until after the holidays anyway

SENATOR
 ARNOLD
 IS DEAD

Former Senator Thomas Arnold. IT,, this afternoon.
 MT. Arnold's demise was almost hourly expected since last Friday when he underwent the second operation within 30 hours for kidney trouble.
 MT. Arnold had barely entered his thirties. Strong, vigorous, prosperous in business, and happy in his home, he was stricken suddenly few weeks ago with an attack of acute kidney trouble
 MT. Arnold was one of the best known young men in the city. He served with distinction as an alder- man from the Seventh district, and by his fearlessness and independence he won the admiration of the indepen- dent vote of the city. He was elected from the strongly Democratic 22d dis trict. as Senator, and continued to command the confidence of voters by his fearless and frank expression and vote in all matters that came before him as a member of the legislature
 Senator Arnold was an only child. His wife. father and his aunt, Miss Fannie Arnold, who had been like a mother to him from his early child hood, were at his bedside from the time or the second operation, almost continuously until his death.
 Mir Arnold was devout Catholic, a member of the Knights of Colum- bus, and actively identified in the af- fairs of the order, particularly in the welfare of Bridgeport Chapter. K. of c.
 MT. Arnold's wife, who was May, the daughter of Mrs. Catherine R. Burnes, of 290 Prospect street. was at his bedside with his father and aunt when the end came at 2:50 ttfs after noon. Besides his widow, four small children survive. the youngest child is but three months old
 Senator Arnold underwent an op. eration for sl<idney trouble at the hos pital on Wednesday afternoon. and on Thursday evening a second operation was found necessary One of his kid- neys was removed in the second opera tion. He failed to recuperate suffi- ciently to fight off the effects of the shock of the double operation.

 CLEVELAND AND OTHERS CAN'T USE PASSAGEW.AY IN REAR OF
 COURTLAND STREET PROP ERTY.

pr. Robert J. Lynch has won his fight to keep outsiders from using the passway at the rear of his Court land street property, for today Judge Curtis of the superior court granted an injunction restraining pr. Ben> jamin w. White and others from us- ing the alley. The action was not tried in open court because the law yers agreed to submit statement of facts.
 pr. Lynch claimed that the passway at the rear of his property at Court land and John streets was only for the use of the occupants of the five lots on Courtland street. It was all legged that Dr. White, Charles D. Cleveland, and J. B.. Turney of this city and Theodore l.. Turney of New York had laid pipes under the pass way. had used the passage for a thoroughfare for noisy autos and de- livery wagons and had otherwiseaan- hoyed the petitioner The court finds that Dr. White and the lessees have no right to use the passway for those purposes. Dr. White, who owns prop erty fronting on State street, claimed he had the right to use the alley as a passage to and from his premises.
