MAKING TOYS BIG INDUSTRY.

Berlin.-The worlds Toyland is
Germany, and Santa Claus capital
and headquarters is not at the North
pole but at Sonneberg (Sun Noun
tain,) a town in the Duchy of Mein-
ingen, on the edge of the great Thur
ingian forest. Almost the entire
population of the city of $4,000 in
habitants is in the employ of Santa
Claus. Every house is a workshop
for Santa. Germany exported toys
to the value of 20,000,000 last year.
From the raids made on the shops by
Old Kris Kringle this year, the fig
ures are expected to reach between
$24, 100000 and 100000.
Santa Generous Here.
Santa Claus is more generous to his
little friends in the United States
than to the children of any European
country. Last year he shipped 3O7
carloads of toys from Sonneberg and
Nuremberg, to New York, Philadel-
phia; Boston, Baltimore, Galveston
and San Francisco, from which cities
he distributed them to American
boys and girls all over the country.
That some complained to him about
being forgotten seems to be the case,
for this year Old Santa shipped 800
carloads to America. America is
Germany's best toy customer. 1t took
this year considerably more than one
third of the total output of Santa S
workshops for the entire world
Americas toy bill for the year 1918
will approximate $S,00O,0OO.
The toy industry of Germany has
very little competition. In it are en-
ployed thousands of men, women,
boys and girls. The centers of the
industry are the quaint old towns of
Sonneberg and Nuremberg. Nurem-
berg is Santa's workshop for railroad
trains, tin soldiers, aeroplanes, air
ships, guns, cannon, swords, drums,
and countless other toys that on
Christmas gladden. the hearts of
countless kiddies. Sonneberg, how
ever, is the aristocratic capital of
Toyland. 1t is the doll-shop of the
world, and where dolls of every
shade, cline and country are made.
Sonneberg also is the Paris of Doll
Land, for Sonneberg sets fashions
and styles in dolls and all things per-
tanning to dolls, as arbitrarily as Par
is sets the styles for the world of
fashion.
Little Fingers Work.
Thousands of deft little fingers
work in the millinery and dress-mak-
ing shops of Doll Land, designing and
making the latest in hats and gowns
and all that goes with the outfits of
Dolldom's elite. The tendency of
mama toward extravaganza in dress
is having its effect in Doll Land.
Dollies nowadays must be more beau
tiful than ever. Wealthy little misses
nowadays demand of Santa that he
bring them 'dollies with as many
dresses as a Newport or Washington
society bell. Many of these elabor-
ate outfits represent an outlay of
money that would keep several poor
children in comfortable clothing all
Winter.

THINK PATIENT A LEPER.

Brooklyn Man Suffered Fifteen Years
From Strange Disease.
New York, Dec. 29.-It is believed by
physicians of Bellevue hospital that
man who applied for admission there
has leprosy. The patient was put in
the isolation ward. Tests will be made
to determine whether or not he is a
leper.
AS the board of health has held that
leprosy is not contagious, the patient
will not be confined if it is found that
he has the disease unless he elects to
remain in the hospital. In that case
he probably will be sent to the leper
colony at the north end of BlackwelPs
island, where there are now four lep-
ers under the care of the Metropolitan
hospital.

MERCHANT SLAIN IN
INDIANAPOLIS HOTEL
Murderer Tied Cord Around
Victims Neck-Makes
His Escape.

INDIANAPOLIS, Sept. 23.-Joseph
Schlansky, SO years old, an East Wash
ington street clothing merchant was
found murdered in a room in the Ho-
tel Oneida, or South Illinois street, at
midnight, and the police today tele-
graphed authorities in other cities to
watch for a young man who register
ed as "W. r. Anderson, Louisville,
KY"
Schlansky, who had been lured from
his store by young man claiming to
be a salesman, had visited the hotel
ostensibly to inspect some goods
When found strong cord was twisted
around his neck and there was deep
wound in the head. About $50 in mon
ey and his watch and chain valued at
over 500 were missing.
Missed Monday.
Schlansky had been missing since
Monday noon and when his family re-
ported the matter, the police immedi
ately suspected there was some con
nection between this case and a re
quest they had received from Louis
vile to be on the lookout for young
man who had been assaulting and
robbing business men after inviting
them to hotels.
The murderer of Schlansky appar
emily did not make haste in escaping
and the police believe him of susound
mind Two scribbled notes found or
the floor of the room read Started tC

Both were signed 'Laury Anderson ;
The authorities say it is evident
that Anderson did not intend to kill
Schlansky, but to overpower and rot
him.

nOr's Record.

ALBANY, n. Y, Sept. 23.-Opposing
counsel in the impeachment trial of
Governor William Sulzer clashed to-
day in the real struggle when the
question was precipitated by counsel
for SulZer respecting the validity of
the first, second and sixth articles of
| the Impeachment. These refer to the
acts committed by Mr.. Sulzer prior
to the beginning of his term, and con-
stitute the real backbone of the
charges.
AS A. Cady Herrick began the at
tack for Mr.. Sulzer, he gave notice
that the governors lawyers, who have
appeared heretofore only for the spe-
cial purpose Of protecting against the
| jurisdiction of the court. now appear
as general counsel for the defense of

LIQUOR QUESTION TO

May Fight Against
Charles Fox.

TERRE HAUTE, Ind, Sept. 23.-
Temp perance versus total abstinence
likely will become the vital factor in
the election of new president of the
Indiana State Federation of Labor
when the delegates are lined up for
voting Thursday. The initial session
of the annual convention opened today
with Acting President Charles Fox
presiding. Mr.. Fox, who became act
ing president of the State Federation
by virtue of his position as first vice
president when Edgar A. Perkins re.
signed last June to accept an appoint
ment in the state government service.
is a resident of Terre Haute, holds the
position of secretary-treasurer of the
Indiana Mine Workers, and entertains
rigid opposition to men who drink,
even moderately, filling positions in
organized labor bodies. Many believe
that Fox lost the presidency at the
last convention through the opposi
tion of the bar-tenderS and cigar-mak
ers' delegates.
Running against Fox will be Philip
K. Reinbold, president of the Terre
Haute Central Labor Union, a cigar
maker: Henry Fried of indianapolis
and Edward Burns, Logansport.
The annual report of ex-President
Perkins deals exclusively with efforts
to accomplish legislation favorable tC

measures, the shotfirers' bill and other
measures are explained in full. The

about the atmosphere of the country
which once experienced can never be
forgotten. .-...
Miss Oxer, accompanied by Miss
Elsie H. Gordon, fellow missionary
left India more than a year ago and
after visiting Miss Gordon's brother in
London came to America to spend the
remainder of their furlough.
Long Indian Service.
Miss Oxer has been in the mission
field in India for the last twenty
years while Miss Gordon was born
there. Her grandfather was a mis-
sionary and held an office under the
Indian government. Their work has
been under the direction of the board
of missions of the Christian church
The two women are planning to re
turn to India but will probably &C
back under the direction of some
other society. Their future plans
have not yet been definitely deter
mined.
The missionaries say that politica
conditions in India are different from
what would be expected. The natives
in the interior generally are peaceful
and satisfied with British control
| Most of the dissatisfaction is found
among the student element in the
larger cities. 1t was for this reason
that the capital was recently moved
from Calcutta to Delhi.
Overseers Home.
I Miss Oxer has been in charge of &
woman's home at Kultahar in the
United province. Miss Gordon has
been superintendent of a school fol
girls at Deoghar, in the province Of
Bengal.
Miss Gordon will leave in a few
days to visit brother in Louisville
Miss Oxer leaves at the same time
to visit her sister, Mrs. j. P. Dear
dorf at Greenfield.
The missionaries say the work in
India is accompanied by none of the
dangers that are experienced in Tur
key and other fields owing to the
strong arm of Great Britain which is
able to keep the country in a state
of profound peace.

G. R. Richardson. an attorney. and
president of the recently organized
Colored Mems Republican club, today
issued statement assigning his rea-
sons why the colored voters of the
city should support Dr.. Zimmerman
for reelection as mayor.
His two principal arguments are:
That it is the colored voters duty to
assist in the reorganization of the
party to which their race owes a debt
of gratitude. and that the general sup
port of the colored voters to the Re
publican ticket will win more political
recognition for members of the race.
I'VE do not think the past thinner
man administrations have been fail
ures, nor do we believe they have
been bowling successes" said Mr..
Richardson. ''Dr. Zimmerman has
made mistakes. but we believe his
candidacy deserves the support of the
colored voters of Richmond, because
with the men who are on the ticket
with him will be able to give the city
a good administration
The colored voters now have been
thoroughly organized for the campaign
and through this organization and a
display OF our strength We anticipate
We will be able to secure more recog-
milton for our services to the party in
the event DR.. Zimmerman is reelected.

and Isaac N. Winburn, janitor of the

Probably the reason We have not re-
ceived more recognition in the past
is because we have never demanded
it,"
Attorney Richardson also declared
it was the duty of the colored voters
/ everywhere to assist in the re-organi-
zation of the Republican party. I'VE
want to bring back the large number

He said some time ago a meeting
was held by some of the leading col.
ored men and the question of whether
colored voters should support the Re
publican or Progressive city tickets
was brought up, and IL was decided
their race was not only duty bound TO
line up with the Republicans, but IL
was to their interests to do so.
