Mail for Santa Claus at New
York Post Office.
MORE BULKY EVERY HOUR
Street Railway Employees to Get
Nickel Fares Christmas Day.
PACKAGES FOR FOREIGN LANDS
Great Accumulation at Chicago Post
OHce-Boy Brides Santa With
Bundle Of Bills.

| NEW YORK, December 11.-If Santa
Claus doesn't call at the New York post
| ONCE for his mail before long the rapidly
increasing heap OF letters is likely to in
terfere with the Offices operations during
the crowded Christmas season. The Post
master General recently issued orders
| directing postmasters not to send letters
| to Santa Claus to the dead letter Office
but to see that they are distributed
among charitable institutions and gener-
Ously inclined individuals who want to
make children happy.
But, although Santa Claus mail in New
York gets more bulky every. hour, only
one application has been made for per-
mission to read it. That application is
| from a firm of clothiers which has lot
of very small suits and caps and other
| things that it wants to give to needy
small boys.
Three Bags of Undelivered Mail.
There are already three bags of unde-
| livered letters for Santa Claus at the
post office, and the rush has only just
begun.
| All the nickels which are spent on the
New York street cars Christmas day will
go to the street railway employees as a
Christmas gift from the operating COM
panies. Men who have been in the serv
ice of the companies for year. and who
do not get more thar $25 q week, will
share in the distribution, which means
| five-dollar gold piece for each one.
Packages Going Abroad.
| CHICAGO, December H. - Christmas
presents for European countries show
! decided increase in the Chicago post Office
| over former years. Although the mail
| which can reach Europe by Christmas
day already has been closed. the accumu-
| lation of packages and the purchase Of
money orders still continue.
| Packages for foreign lands show an in
crease of 30 per cent over any previous
year. Foreign money orders for the first
| fifteen days of December have aggregated
| S179, 957. Domestic orders are running 10
per cent above last December, when they
| aggregated $9,74O.OOO.
A few packages have been held up and
will never reach the friends for whom
| they were intended. One Of these con-

Contributes Bundle of Bills.
| BROCKTON. Mass. December IL
Fearing that Santa Claus would not have
money enough to buy all the presents he
wanted. five-year-old George Cove took
a bundle Of bills from his mothers
| bureau trudged down the street to where
a Santa Claus was collecting funds for a
charitable organization and dropped the
| bills down the chimney of Santa's coin
box house.
| An hour later Mr.. and Mrs. George A.
Cove missed the money and the police
| were notified. Shortly afterward little
George began telling what he expected
| for Christmas. His father advised his
son that Santa Claus could not get all
| that for one boy.
"Oh, yes he can," said little George, II
gave him money so he could"
An investigation followed and the money
was returned by Santa.

set for the wedding of his sister, Miss

The reporter then called at Miss
Gould's home. Miss Gould. when asked
for an interview, laughed and shook her
head.
Later Miss Gould's secretary gave out
this statement:
miss Gould thanks the press very
much for their good wishes. but. as you
know, she never permits any one to in
terview her, and the mere fact of a mar
riage will not cause her to change her
attitude now.
George Gould is now the head of the
lily now, and all statements must come
from him. We are all delighted at the
wonderful happiness that has come to
Miss Gould but you must not disturb her

j. Shepard's business offices were trans
formed yesterday into an impromptu ra-

compelled to give much less attention
to the daily routine that has character
lied his activities heretofore.
The telephone buZzed an inquisitive and
| insistent accompaniment symbolic of all
the questions the outside world was anx-
iOus to know.
The following are sample inquiries:
Hello. Mr.. Shepard. We would like
to know how much salary you're get
ting"
'Mr. Shepard, do you think your mar
rlage to Miss Gould will result in a dis
continuance of her charities and interest
In social conditions?"
This Is a close friend of yours, Mr..
Shepard. who desires to remain unknown,
but I really am very good friend of
yours and would like to know definitely
just when the wedding will be and If it
will be on a grand scale?"
At the end of the day Mr.. Shepard
said:
notwithstanding some of the unpleas-
ant incidents consequent to becoming a
parsonage overnight, l am so happy l
can scarcely keep my feet on the floor.
OF course. / am anxious to get to New

RED GIVES A SNAKE DELIGHT
Bronx Director Also Tells How Other
CoIors Affect Reptiles Of
Zoo,

New York.-A report OF a series OF
snake studies made at the Bronx
geological gardens here shows that
snakes a be appealed to by colors.
which are found to have 4 marked In
fiuence on the moods of the reptiles.
The emotions inspired are thus cata-
logued:
Red. delight; baby blue, pleasure:
yellow, contentment; navy blue,
ecstasy; brown, irritation; green, an
ger; black. indifference; purple, van
ity.
The report by Curator Ditmars *
plains further:
Color influences upon animals are
not rare. The red flag, of course, ex-
cites the bull to anger. With the
snake there Is just the opposite ef-
feet, and 1t is red that gives delight,
while green excites to anger"
AS to the effect of music on snakes.
Mr.. Ditmars explains that, contrary
to the general belief, snakes do not
actually hear music, and have no
sense Of melody. They receive the
sensation of the vibrations through
the tip of the tongue, and, like wire
less instruments, become tuned up
and often swing their heads In SYM
pathy, which leads to the supposition
they are beating time.

Tribute to Abraham Lincoln

scription bore the date of June 20,
1865.
The block was sent to Mr.. Stiel-
mann, then American consul at Leg
horn, who forwarded it on the British
steamer Uhla, which through q
strange coincidence was commanded
by Capt. Lincoln, and which sailed for
the United States Aug. 4, 1865.
A year passed without anything be-
ing heard Of 1t. 1t was only much
later that it was possible to learn
that the Uhla encountered stormy
weather and went ashore near Ber-
muda, where ship and cargo were sold
at auction and the precious stone was
abandoned on the shore.
Engineer Girardi now raises his
voice SO that that stone, rendered
more precious through these vicissi-
tudes, should be sought, and If impos.
sible to find, another should be taken

Rome, Italy.-Engineer F%erdinando
Girardi has revived an interesting cpl
sode in connection with the project Of
at Hardin county, Kentucky,
a museum of memories and mementos
to Abraham Lincoln. Engineer Cir
ardi, who Is a passionate student OF
the Rome which is passing, has re-
called that the news Of the death of
Abraham Lincoln produced such an
impression in Rome that it was de-
cided to express the sympathy Of the
Eternal city in the most solemn way
possible.
At that time, near the railway sta
ton, the Agger, or permanent fortif-
cations, built by Servius Julius, was
coming to light. The Agger is q huge
embankment about 120 feet wide and
rs high, the lower courses of the struc-
ture being gigantic blocks of pepper
colored stone, held together by strong
clamps of iron. and the upper courses
OF smaller blocks OF volcanic pumice
stone.
The Roman thought that nothing
could express their feelings in a more
eloquent manner than sending one Of
these blocks, with q marble slab and
inscription to Abraham Lincoln. The
appropriateness of the idea vas added
to by the similarity Of the deaths Of
the two great men, 6ervius Tullius
and Abraham Lincoln: the former a.
20 having been murdered. The n

New York.-To be returned to low

dollars and has covered three coun-
tries and a period of nearly six years.

the last seven years she has expert
enced h%ardships that seldom befall the
lot Of children, and still rarer chill
dren of the royal blood.
The restoration OF Hella to her peo-
pie in Denmark Is interesting to a de-
gree, and is only made possible
through the excellent work in the
child's behalf carried on by Proba-
toin Officer w. G. Leeman of Dallas
and members of the Presbyterian mis-
sion board OF that city. Mr.. Leeman
brought the girl to Galveston n Sat-
urday, delivered her to Vice-Consul
Hans Guldman, representative at
this port of the government Of Den
mark, and then saw her safely aboard

IN 1900 August Jorgensen was ap-
pointed by the government Of Den
mark as roya! Danish consul to Rome,
Italy, and, accompanied by his wife,
Adolphine H. Jorgensen, took up his
post Immediately. While they were
In Rome the child, Hella Charlotte,
was born. In 1904 the father and
mother, accompanied by the child,
went to Mexico City, Mexico, pre-
sumably on official business. A few
months later, in the year 1905, Mr..
Jorgensen died very suddenly. Mrs.
J%orgensen died a few days later. Hell

Jorgensens were OF Royal blood. Short
ly after they had taken the child a
man appeared upon the scene who
claimed to be a brother Of Mr.. Jorgen-
sen and uncle of the child. : He de-
manded that Hella be given into his
custody, to return to her people at
Copenhagen, and they could do moth
ing but comply.

ton possessed by those since inter
ested in the case, that the man claim

a certain mount Of money from the
Jorgensen family in Denmark for the
return of the child. Later the amount
was increased. Detectives were put
on the case and the chase, covering
more than five years and carried on in
Mexico, Italy and the United States,
was never successfully ended by the
officers.
She will be met at Bremen by her
mothers sister, and the years Of her
life that have been filled with suffer
