HOLMES CHRISTMAS TREE.

One of the prettiest Christmas fea-
lures this season was the big Christ
mas tree at the ID. II. Holmes Comp
any's store. The management had
offered a present to every child which
came to the store ystrday from > to
II, and tickets We're given them at
the doors. More that 5000 children
were the recipients of these gifts, and
every one of them received something
that was worth having, a toy or some
thing that they were delighted with.
The big Christmas tree vas a beau
tiful sight, with tinsel and lights and
its load of presents, and there were
plenty of willing hands % see that
every child was attended to. Qm-e a
number of visitors watched the inter-
esting sight. 1t was not giving pres
ents to poor children, but 20 all kinds
of children alike, and rich ard poor
mingled in the throng of little folks
A vely large proportion of the clidfen,
however, it is fair to presume. were
those who otherwise would not have
enjoyed the benefits of the day as
they did had it not been for the gen.
crosby of the big store, which gave
the presents without regard 10 whether
there was any commercial feature to
ii.
Besides the gifts to all ne Children
there were certain prize winners who
received presents as the result of a
contest. The first prize was SIS in
gold. the second $40 and the third So.
The other ninety-seven out Of :ne 100
winners received not less THAI 81 each.
The little folks who participated III
the Holmes Christmas will long re
member it.
The winners in Holmes Santa Claus
contest from our district were Juani-

PiAho PROTECTION.
Information for the Owners of Pianos
During the Damp Season.

Piano repair men and tuners are re-
porting that owing to the excessive
bad weather We have been having pi-
amos of every description are covered
with moisture, which will lead to
sticking keys and action, rusting OF
strings and splitting cases unless pi-
amos are dried at once.
1t is suggested to all piano owners
that fire be built in the room where
the piano is, and that the piano be
used considerably during damp spells.
This is imperatively necessary with all
kinds of pianola pianos, inner players,
player pianos, etc. After building the
fA it would be we'll to wipe off the
piano with a piece of cheesecloth and
get it perfectly dry. Where it is not
possible to build fire close the room
up and light lamp in it.
BY taking these precautions a great
deal of damage will be prevented.
Very truly yours,
PHILIP WERLEIN.

BATTLING NELSON
HERE FOR THE
REDMOND
MILL.

Battling Nelson. former lightweight
champion of the world, arrived in
New Orleans Christmas morning for
his twenty-round bout with Jack Red
mond, the st. Paul miller, at the
West Side Athletic Club New Years
eve. The Battler, though in first-class
condition, began light training Tues
day, so that he will be prepared for
long bout in the event Redmond man
ages to stick the scheduled number of
rounds.
Nelson's appearance in the ring next
Sunday will he the first time the won
derful Dane has boxed in this section.
Nelson, though defeated for the 133-
pound title, is popular wherever he
fights. Manager TortOrich believes he
has the best available drawing card
in the ring today in the Dane, who
will take 80 per cent of the gross re-
ceipts for his end of the purse.
1t is certain that Nelson will make
better impression with local tistic
fans in the Redmond scrap than he did
with the New Workers when he ran
into "One-Round" Hogan last Friday
evening. The Dane will doubtless re-
sort to the old rough tactics, boring in
and fighting in the clinches, which is
prohibited in New York.
Announcement has been made by
Promoter Tortorich of the Orleans and
West Side CLUBS that he is ready to
redeem the seat checks and coupons
which fistic fans have been retaining
since the near-mill between Jack White
and Tommy Dixon several weeks ago
at the Bienville street arena.
For the benefit of those who retain
checks the promoter will exchange
them at face value for tickets for the
Nelson Redmond scrap.

Mexico City, May 25.-President

afternoon, resigned the presidency of
the republic Of Mexico, and at exact
ly Asa o'clock the acceptance of the
remuneration by the deputies was
announced. e.. r. ~,
Every one had expected an up
roar and demonstration when the
announcement should be made. but
within the chamber the words of the
President announcing the event
were followed by a dead silence. The
deputies seemed awed by what had
taken place. .~svo1 ta p e
In the streets, however, black with
people. every street leading to the
hall was blocked. news that Diaz
was at last no more the President
was the signal for the widest shout

no violence nor destruction of prog
erty.
The motion was offered to accept
the presidents resignation. One
hundred and sixty-seven deputies
voted-aye, while two Of them die
not express themselves. They were

Il do not know of any factlimputed

dissipating its wealth, exhausting its
resources and exposing its policy to
international complications.
Il hope, gentlemen, when the
passions which are inherent to al
