Native Chorus
 Will Sing Xmas < Carols In Nome

Miss Dorothy Russell, Deaconess of the Lavina Wallace Young Mission at Nome, will be in charge of the Eskimo Carol Singers this evening, when they make their annual pilgrim age of Nome, singing Xmas Carols and songs-a sere- nading of the happy homes of the city which has be- come a unique custom here
 The chorus is composed entirely of Eskimo and na- tive voices, all trained by Miss Russell, who announc ed that after 10 PM. Christ mas Eve, the carolers would tour the town in a sleigh drawn by a team of horses donated by Albin Poison, for the occasion.
 In the past years this ex- ceptionally fine feature of Christmas has evoked the highest praise for the work accomplished by the direc- tor, and glowing praise for the singers.
 Miss Russell believes that this year her Carolers have been developed exceeding ly well, and will uphold a splendid effort begun years ago in Nome.
 The populace is especial ly invited to listen to them as they drive through Nome tonight after 10 PM. Don't miss them!

a sacrifice Of much popularity The lower house
of the Louisiana Legislature voted Jackson
sword, but the proposal was killed in the Sen
ate. -. lengthy resolution of thanks, how
ever, was adopted. It was studded with names
captains, majors, colonies, generals-the author
must have written with roster of the army
before him. But in this long list Of the con-
spieuous and the obscure nowhere appeared the
name of Andrew Jackson"
AS runors that q treaty of peace had indeed
been signed began 10 drift into the city, the dis
satisfaction with Jacksons restrictions the
citizens of New Orleans and the resentment CT
the volunteers and the militia against being kept
under arms increased There were frequent de-
sertions and finally open mutiny. To deal with
both, Jackson used the same iron hand with
which he had ruled his soldiers during the cam
paign against the Creek Indians This brought
him into collision with the civil authorities
which had a curious aftermath and one not
generally known
Finally on March 13 a thrilling cry swept
through the city-"Le paixi LIE paixI" Official
notice Of the ratification Of peace had reached
New Orleans. with the same paralyzing promp-
titude with which he had gathered them into his
hands. the Commander laid aside his extraordi-
nary powers. Martial law was revoked and mill
tary prisoners released The Mississippi,
Kentucky and Tennessee troops were told to
make ready for home and the remainder of the
Louisiana militia was dismissed The volatile
city surrendered to the emotions Of jubilee, an
about-face in which self-congratulation assumed
the sumblner form Of hero-worship Huzzahing
crowds enveloped the Royal Street headquarters.
Coffee houses that two days before had rumbled
with denunGation rang now with toasts TO Old
Hickory"
But even though Jackson was again the hero
Of the hour, his troubles were not yet over There
still remained that matter of his conflict with
the civil authorities Federal Judge Dominick A.
Hall was determined to establish the fact that
should not be superseded by the rules Of martial
law. Jackson had not only dared 10 disregard
such a writ but had arrested Hall for aiding,
abetting and exciting mutiny within my camp
and locking him up Freed when martial law
was revoked ar the receipt Of the news of the
peace treaty. Hall had mounted the bench again,
issuing a summons directing Jackson TO show
cause why he should not be hela in contempt OF
court for his refusal to recognize the writ Of
habeas corpus
So II came 10 pass that late IN March 1915,
the Hero Of New Orleans" stood before the
bar Of civil justice and heard Judge Han impose
upon him a fine of one Thousand dollars and
costs but refrain from including imprisonment
in the sentence because Ii was impossible to
forget the important services Of the defendant
to the country" After that jackson walked out
of the courtroom the idol Of the cheering crowd

This instance is only one Of a
number in which either ignorant or

With mankind already fighting q
