IN THE NEW YEAR

With the electric lights on the
negro department burning in the up
per portion and several bloodhounds
on the first floor uttering dismal
sounds, all the negro prisoners in thg
county jail sang and prayed the old
year out and the new year in at mid
night last night
The lights were turned on at the re-
quest OF the negroes, who, in a letter
to Jatler Stewart, asked that they be
left burning until the old year passed
out so as We can sing and praise the
Lord"
The noise made by the negroes IN
their songs and prayers was punctuat-
ed by yelps and means from the blood
hounds.
The white prisoners observed thu
passing OF the old and the arrival OF
the new year, in a quiet manner, M
demonstration Of any kind being mada

The guests were asked to assemble
at eleven O'Clock, and on reaching the
home found it most beautiful in its
decorations of holly, mistletoe and
smilax.
An air of mystery pervaded the at
mosphere when the folding doors of
the parlor were found locked, but all
were well repaid when upon opening
found a most beautiful tree which
Santa had visited and with the able
assistance of Mrs. w7ckersham and
Miss Estelle ellis had placed beautiful
presents for old and young. The pref
ty boxes Of delicious home made candy
proved their efficiency in that art.
The dinner in its great abundance OF
all good things and served by well
trained servants, reminded one of ante
bellum days. So after a day of mirth
and joy and many tales of long ago,
all left feeling it was one of the most
pleasant and charming days Of their

LITTLE WHEN BALKAN STATES GET
THROUGH CARVING; sERVIA AND BULGARIA BEST

Vienna, Dec. 2S.--Now that the Turko-
Balkan war is over the big problem that
confronts the Balkan states and the Eu-
rouean powers, relates to the carving of
Turkey That little will remain of the
Ottoman Empire is Europe after the
treaty of peace is signed seems to be
everywhere agreed. Just how the Turk
ish territory will be divided up Is still I'M
certain.
The Turkish Porte is said to be unal-
terably opposed to the cession Of any
part of autonomous Albania to the Balk-
an states. Should Turkey surrender the
Albanian seaboard to Servia, which seems
unlikely, then the powers would doubt
less take the matter in hand and demand
the evacuation of Albanian territory
without delay. That Europe's summons
