New York, Dec. 22.-Suspense,
watching, waiting, an indefnable air
Of foreboding, mingled with an at

ray of hope-this is the atmosphere
which now permeates the death
house at Sing Sing.
Lieutenant Becker and his accom-.
plices in the Rosenthal murder occu-
Dy the grim cells. Christmas time
will not bring happiness to them, but
lonesomeness and longing for the
wives and children with whom they
will not be allowed to spend the yule'
tide season.
The one CLEAN of hope lies in the
appeal for a new trial which is be-
ing heard in New York at the pres
ent time. It's a forlorn hope at best
for the result Of a new trial might
still mean death.
The jokes and the curses are few.

Sing "ADES1E flDELES'
ON CnRS1MASMORNING

On Christmas morning in every
Catholic church in the United States
where Mass is being celebrated, one
of the most beautiful of the church's
hymns will be sung. In our. grand
cathedrals, In converts and IN semi
naries, and in humble country mis-.
sions the "Adeste Fideles'' will stir
the soul of Christmas morning wor.
shippers. A word about this grand old
hymn, and its origin and authorship
will doubtless be OF interes. to: our
readers. Individual authorship the
"Adeste Fideles" may not have had.
The atmosphere Of tk6 s%tHmonastic
scriptorium breathes,, however,
through its melodious strophes. 1t is
in many respects unique in Chris.
tian hymnology. More than any 9th.
er church song it blends prophecy,
history, prayer, exultation and praise.

the Nicene Greed it would be found
an astonishing pversification Of ti.at
august prose. WsL@t!rN!.
Every line l6fIe the e.rAdeste" is a
casketi Aof faith ahdo love. Upon its
cadences many hours must have been
spent for the crystallization of sub.
lime truth into crisp and dazzling syl.
tables. Adeste, approach; fideles We
faithful; laeti, joyful; triumphantes,
ictorions; venite, come. adoremus, let
US adore; Dominum, the Lord. The
hymn, in the Latin form, is so musi-
cal that it is memorized almost with.
out effort. 1t is found continuously
from the middle of the seventeenth
century. 1t is believed that in many
centers of devotion it was made also
a recitation as If in oratorio. Plays
drawn from Holy Writ were in vogue
during the same period, and the
"Adeste Fideles" would have been a
congruous incident in either a pas
sion play. a miracle play or a Madon
ma play.
It was usual in those plays to intro
duce the folk melodies which in ever
country have become the basis Of ma
tional music. As these plays were

from next door:
That's very nice, old man. Very
NICE
Spohr made a hesitating 'reDE, I'D.
dressing him as "Mr. Becker" The
ice was broken and soon everyone
was calling him "Gharley."
One evening Becker asked Spohr

some time before the four gunms,

asked another what kind of a rose
1t was.

Spohr laid emphasis on the bright.
or side. But Lustig said:
There was one scene to which !
could never become accustomed. This
was the last parting of the relatives
with the Imam sWho jtwas to pass
through thee little fIgreen door. The
shades were mercifully drawn, but
we could not shut out the cries and
the g that rang through the
death house. Oh. it was awful.
II shall never be able to forget the
depths of despair sounded by those
agOnized cries. Fathers and moth
ers, sisters, brothers. wives and
sweethearts went by us weeping and
in Mysteries. They were carried ont
fainting. They were dragged out raw
ing like maniacs. There.was an aw-
full stiffness in the death house just
before these scenes. and long after
the cries had ceased to echo through
the corridor"
Should the appeals fail there are
three wives who will take leave Of
the Rosenthal murderers. There is
Mrs. Louis Rosenberg, the gay wife
of Lefty Louie" There is blonde
little Mrs. Lillian Horowitz. still a
mere girl, who has been working in
a department store to earn a little
money to buy her husband, "Gyp the
Blood," a few comforts.
Finally there is Becker's noble
wife, a New York school. teacher. still
on duty. whose lot has attracted the
sympathy of oil and who has borne
E'ecker a child since he went into the
death house. The infant died soon.
