safe to say that there were not many,
even among the poorest in the city,
who did not, in some small measure, at
least share in the holiday cheer. The
tendency to da away with all sense
less, noisy and boisterous methods
of celebrating Christmas and New
Year found expression in novel fea-
tire, the public Christmas celebration
on Madison Square.
A magnificent tree, more than sixty
,eet in height and straight as an ar
row. had been brought down from the
Adirondacks and set up in Madison
Square. Its branches were decorated
with thousands of incandescent lights
and from the very top shone brightly
the "Star of Bethlehem" outline in
electric lights. On the evening before
Christmas thousands of people assem-
bled in the square and quietly, almost
reverently, listened to the singing of
the assembled choirs and the playing
Of the bands. There were many po-
licemen present, but they had little to
do 1t was the most orderly and quiet
crowd which had probably ever con-
gregated on Madison Square. On the
evening of Christmas Day the tree
was again lighted up, but there was
no public celebration. New York's first
public Christmas tree and Christmas
celebration proved a remarkable sue
cess and it is believed that it will be-
come a permanent feature of the city's
holiday season in the future.

Harold o. Binney, a patent attor-
ney of this city, who has gained con-
siderable notoriety in the past through
his eccentric actions, kept the police
and, for that matter, nearly everybody
else along Broadway, Fifth and Sixth
avenues and some of the cross streets
between Thirty-fourth and Forty-sec-
ond streets in a state of excitement
for several days in succession during
the holidays. Seated at the wheel he
drove his racing auto through the
streets with a speed like that of a
lightning express train. With utter
recklessness he speeded his powerful
machine up and down the streets, pay
ing no attention to the thousands of
Christmas shoppers and heading
straight for every policeman stationed
at street intersections The bluecoats
were compelled to dodge with undig-
nified haste to keep from being run
down. The man would probably never
been caught had not something gone
wrong with his machine, which com
PEELED him to stop at Herald Square
to do some tinkering. He did not get
time to finish the job, however, for
the pursuing policemen caught up with
him and arrested him. After the usu-
al proceedings before the magistrate
the. prisoner was released to appear
for trial on the following day. On
that day Binney repeated his perform.
ance with his racing car and a Sec
ond charge was made against him.
The police were inclined to believe
that the eccentric behavior of the
lawyer is due to excessive hbations,
while others take a more charitable
view and believe that the man is not
quite normal in his upper story.

While Father Joseph McCann was

spring up, grabbed four contribution
envelopes from the plate and ran up
the aisle, toward the door of the
church. Father Mccain, somewhat
handicapped by the loaded contribu-

have again started on the downward
path and fresh eggs were quoted yes
terday at 22ls cents a dozen, the extra

a low limit for this commodity in a
long time and it mokes a drop of ap-
proximately 20 cents a dozen within 4
little more than a month.
Dry salt meats advanced a little yes

trade. Coffee and sugar, as usual,
