Established 1831. A. Merry, Merry Christmas to All the Readers of the Daily Telegraph. 1 I I HE DIVIDED, A BIG HEARTED WORKMAN Don't You to Help the Poor 01 Harrisburg Thb men who get the least work and the least money for it would not naturally be expected to share it, but Gossip heard of an instance to day that showed a bigness of heart hardly consisted with the surroundings. One of the street sweeping gang in this city is a poor man struggling along to keep body and soul together on the two days' work he gets each week, at $1 20 per day.

Toe other day he went to his employer and said: "Have you any objection to letting work in my place one day this week "What's the matter with you?" asked the boss. 'There's nothing the mattef with itt9, but there is something the matter with him. I've worked a dy this week and have if; 1.20, but he has ho work, and he is poorer than I am, and I thought I would give hiaa one of my day'B work, and that would help him along oVer Christmas." agreed to the proposition, and the two men wiil this week divide the $2 40, small enough sum in all conscience for one man. It is a hard matter to purchase a Christmas gift for a boy. Not that he is hard to please, but be may perhaps have set his heart on one thing and you not know anything about it, consequently what you get for him may be a disappointment.

Of Coarse a wheel is a most acceptable gift, if he has one, some additions to his outfit, a lantern, bell, cyclometer, or rack, or a sweater, if he does not own, he i sure to want." In the same connection a foot ball, 'regulation" bat and ball, tennis racket, set of dumb bells, all suggest themselves to suit the tastes for different out of door sports. A bag of marbles, the bag made of duck or coarse linen, and his initial embroidered on it, will find a welcome, particularly if several reals are included. Most of the fathers of the boys of to day never dreamed of having a watch until they were of age, many of them not until they earned one, but pretty watches that are also good timepieces are so cheap and plentiful nowadays that boys of eiglOand nine aspire to them. Any boy who has a worn out. watch or none at all will be pleased with one at Christmas.

A good chain strong, if not expensive, should go with it. Studs, sleeve buttons and scarf pins please boys, and in addition to bis stock of neckwear is never objectionable, and a pair cf skates always goes. tf may be to your interest that is to your charitable interest to know that if you have any old clathing, or boots or shoes, or bed clothing, cr provisions, or anything of the kind, that you want to give to the poor, and if you will drop a postal card or send informantion to that effect to Rev. B. F.

Beck, the city agent tof the Harrisburg Benevolent Saciety, a wagon will be sent to your home and the things hauled away with thanks. If you only have one thing to give, it will be one thing more for the poor. good many pedple are hanging back, saying: Oh, I don't like to send this or that; it is not worth sending. Isn't it worth sending Well, you go down to the rooms of the Benevolent Society some Tuesday or Friday and see if it isn't Worth sending. You haven't anything in the way of clothing that is too much worn to be worth sending.

Just stick a big bright pin Utere and whenever you see the pin let it be a reminder that yon ought to help the poor. And, by the way, don't wait to hunt up something. You can send cash, if you itwill be very acceptable. Send as much cash as you can spare, and skimp yourself a little to make a cash contribution, for oh, if you hao an idea of one fiftieth of the misery and distress among ine poor ra tnis city, you would not hesitate a moment in your giving. i'm Glad I Am A Llvin.

hat this here world's a world of woe I don't make no denial, An' speak ot oue who's bad his share Of human grief and trial, I sometimes wish It all was past, Beln so worry driven. But then I Agger out at last, I'm glad I am a llvln'. Our troubles come like files In cake There's lots more cake than fly There's ten square deals to every fake, Teh smiles to every sigh There's sneaks, but lots of good men, too i There's hoardln', but there's Kivln And that Is why I take hla vie Wi I'm glad I am a lMn'. I've found that in this vale of tears The patent proof umbrella Is kinder casi In' up tbe fears Of some poor other lellow Don't treasm up your rights an' wrongs. Don't ijrudge, but be forglvln' Make this the chorus ot your song: "I'm glad I am a llvln'." Detroit Free Prtss.

The witnesses or evidence' that I present to the committee are indicated in the statement I made to the Board, to which I refer the committee.

Judge Brubiker said that further proc.edings would be taken. Later complaints were made to the urt that the prothonotary was charging extortionate fees ia certain sheriff sales proceedings and the judge asked for the bill. He took copies ot thedi and after investigating the charges called the prothonotary before the court, when it wad discovered that the latter had erased the itemized figures and submitted others only from one half to one third as great.

But leaving the totals of the original charge, which averaged just about double what the correct totals shoul i have been at the same time he itemized the lis from the sheriff and recorder.

To day he Said that he had not the power over them thafhe had over the prothonotary, but advised the counsel concerned to examine the charges, and if found illegal to enter suit against those officials. He said he did not propose to shield anyone. BOSS M'KANE'S CHRISTMAS.

Justice Cullen Sees That It Will Xot be Spent lielilnd Prison Bars. Nbw York, Dec. 22. Justice Edgar M. Cullen, of the Supreme Court, Brooklyn, made an announcement this morning in the McKanecase, which, while apparently disappointing to the prDsecutlon, gave the Gravsend men and their friends a fright.

Justice Cullen, all had expected, would hand down this morning his deci tion.siy ing whether or not he would grant Mc Kane and bis associates a stay till the general term of the Supreme Court could review the conviction of Justice Barnard. The prosecution had been fighting hard to win, so that McKano would have to speni his Cbristmts behind prison bars. When Justice Cullen arrived at 10 o'clock he said: "Gentlemen, there will be no announcements made at present, and I may not render a decision now until next Week." The friends of Me Kane at once interpreted this to be an indication that Justice Cullen had made up his mind to render his decision against their boss, but not wishing to be harsh, had concluded to wait until after Christmas before ordering that McKane and his companions be locked up.

OUR WASHINGTON SPECIAL; Possible Cnanares In the Cabinet A Juniata Ylsherman Ine Pennsylvania Officers. Washington, Dec. 23.

A gentleman who occupies inside relations with the administration remarked to day that it wouM not surprise, him if there should happen after the holidays some important changes and transfers in the Cabinet. It is well known that Attorney General Olney on account of his health would like to retire from, the Cabinet. It is also known that Postmaster General Bissel finds the duties of his ofice very irksome and that he would prefer a field cf Cabinet duty more congenial to bis tastes. He has been long enough in the Post Office Department to learn that it is impossible for the head of that office to satisfy all of the conflicting interests in the patronage ttndlr hi ontrol. If Attorney General Olney carries out his desire to retire," said this friend of the President, "Gen.

Bissel will transferred to that department. In that event it is understood that Josiah Qaincy, of Massachusetts, will be offered the position. This gentleman thinks that Mr. Quincy would accept Ihe office nnder the cinmmstances, as the President is anxious that it Hew Knglund man should be in tbe Cabinet.

Mr. Sarvisisa noted fisherman, and is familiar with ail tLe Pining grounds witnln a radius of 200 miles, including the broad Potomac, the picturesqueShenandoah aSd their tributary streams.

It is not an uncommon thing for "Jesse" to land a black bass weighing six to eight pounds.

He frequently brings home a string of 23 to 30 bass, which lie distributes among his friends. The President at the instance of Secretary Carlisle has determined to devote sufficient time next week to dispose of all the fennylvaaia appointments.

It is the intention of the President, if he can do so, to satisfy as far as practicable the interests. The issue has narrowed dwn to a selection for Collector of Customs from tbe city or the country.

22. Startling and sensational are in circulation here. They come from so many eirorcM and directions as to indicate some foundation for such widespread conimoiion.

Such are the reports as thuy have reached us here; but it should bs added that the authoritiris of Peraambuc, who have been questioned on the subject, doubt the truth of the news which Is in general circulation. The United Press correspondent has so far been unable to obtain any reply to messages which he has sent South, and messages from the United Press correspondent at Kio de Janeiro havet apparently been intercepted. This gives color to the report that something of an extraordinary nature has occurred. The Iteport Confirmed. Baltimore, Dec 22.
