CHRISTMAS.

With sound of fife and drums; With mistletoe about his brows. So merrily he comes! His arms are full of all good cheer His face with laughter glows. He shines like any household fire Amid the cruel snows. He is the old folks Christmas; He warns their hearts like wine: He thaws their winter into spring, And makes their faces shine. Hurrah for Father Christmas!
 Ring all the merry bells! And bring the grandsires all around To hear the tale he tells.

w. F. THOMPSON, in letter to the News-MiEer, says that the ex- residents of Alaska tried to pull off Alaska Day at the fair, but that it was failure. This credit can bo laid to the door of Governor Strong, who, it is understood, did all In his that he could not conveniently be present The show could not be pulled off without the clown.

Riggs and Edes, of the rail road commission, will remove their offices to Nenana. It is humilating enough for these gentlemen to be constantly subjected to repeated in terviews by Klopsch and Morrissey when they are present in Fairbanks without having their purposes and good faith speculated upon during their absence. There seems to be movement here in Fairbanks to dis courage the construction of the rail road but whether the reporters arc two newspaper combinations are working through prearrangement with those hostile influences, or through simple damfoolishness. is difficult to determine at this time.

BIBLE STUDY CLUB
Had Interesting Discussion Upon Sub
 ject Some Men Christ Won.

An interesting session of the Bible Study club was held at the Y- M. c. A. Tuesday evening at 6.30, when a f0-cent lunch was served, after which the study was taken up. The topic was Some Men Christ Won, and it was brought out that Andrew was the first to be. won; he at once began to do personal work and brought his own brother Simon to Christ John was one of the first, and he was a some what different man from either Peter or Andrew. Nicodemus, the aristocrat and the doubter, was one whom Jesus won, and his conversion with the Mas ter at night brought out, the necessity of the new birth.
 A disreputable business man known as Zaccheus was also won by Christ, and as an evidence of his changed life he who had been grafter became very charitable man and restored four fold to those he had wronged. Saul of Tarsus. who had been a scholarly bigot, became Paul the Apostle after Jesus won him, and his life was one of powerful influence and is still being felt through his remarkable writings.
 The fact of the wonderful adaptabil- ity of Christ and his gospel was em- phasized and the point was made that this is still true today, for men and women of all kinds and classes are be- ing influenced by the mighty power of the Man of Nazareth.

S1o,ooo FIRE LOSS
 NEAR NEW LONDON Was in Waterford About 1000 Feet Over the New London Line.

A change in the direction of the wind from northeast to north. prevent ed an almost certain confiagration in New London shortly before midnight Tuesday. A fire broke out in a build ing occupied by Georee Whitman as a blacksmith shop on Beckwith exten- sion in Waterford, about 1000 feet over the city line, and in a few minutes had jumped 30 yards to a barn and then 20 yards to a house owned by Henry F. Robinson. This building was burned to the first floor. An adjoining house occupied by an Italian family, caught, and the roof and top story were burned off. A third house. owned by R. T. Brown, also caught on the roof, but the arrival of the firemen prevented this house from destruction.
 Sparks from the burning buildings were blown for a distance of half a mile and for a time a number of houses in that section were threat ened. The Niagara triple action auto and the Pequot chemical company re- Sponded to the call after securing the necessary permission, as the fire was out of the city limits. There was some delay in securing permission to fight the flames, as the officials could not at first be located. In all about 2,000 feet of hose were laid. The estimated loss is placed at $10,000.
 The good work of the Niagara com pany was a big factor in holding the fire to the limits to which it was con- fined.

HIGHWAY CHANGES BETWEEN
 MYSTIC AND STONINGTON.
Discussed at Meeting of Stonington SeIectmen-Corners to Be Cut Off.


 At Stonington Monday at the month ly meeting of the board of selectmen of the town, held in the town court room, there were present President Robert w. Perkins, General Manager Samuel An deTson and Civil Engineer Shepard B. Palmer of the Norwich and Westerly Traction company and Division Engi- neer Campbell of Norwich of the state road. They were present to present their plans and to talk regarding the new highway between Stonington and Mystic and to report on the line which the trolley would take when the new road is finished. It is the plan of the trolley officials to have the tracks run near the Packer tar soap factory in Mystic so as to eliminate the sharp corner at the turn by Denison avenue in Mystic. According to all reports, the carrying out of the plan seems propitious and everything seems clear for the new route. It will be neces- sary to run into the lands of Albert Denison at Mystic and the house be- longing. to Allyn Avery will be moved. This matter will be settled satisfac- torily for all parties concerned.
 This is only one of the improve ments to be made in the road and trolley line, as there are number of other dangerous corners to be cut off. At the above mentioned orner in Mystic, which will be avoided when the line is changed, the trolley rails cross the road and make it decidedly dangerous. In the new plans the line will go straight from the cemetery corner to near the telephone exchange. There is land near the railroad station which has been secured from the rail- road company for the use of the new trolley line but all arrangements have not been made with the New York, New Haven and Hartford company yet.
 Tracks will soon be built and the steam shovel set to work handling the gravel which will be placed on the road.
