WASHINGTON'. Dec 7. The Gridiron Club, compos-'! of forty Washington correspondents, scored another notable success to-nUht on the occasion of the December dinner. About Ij guests assembled around the gridiron table at the Arlington Hotel, which was beautifully decorated for the occasion. As usual, the entertainment conSifted of burlesques and satires upon public event and thing, and numerous public tnjn and tromlnent guests were treated to the usual course of gridiron broiling, which Is always of a good-natured kind. Arthur V. Dunn, the president of tha club, at the beginning of the dinner announced that serious affairs of the world would be reterved for other times, or treated in a lighter vein, and this was the keynote of the subsequent proceedings. The features, as usual, touched upon public events in a Jocular manner and began With a menu with a "New Alice In Wonderland." liy the moat delicate Inference tha illustrations and quotations could be applied to ?ome of the events in the life of President Roosevelt. The arrival of the "Collier Merriment" (Merrlmac) with a supply of champagne to fill the bunkers of the diners wa3 a laughable skit, and the selection of a delegate to London to attend the coronation furnished opportunity for the nomination of a number of guests for the place and their rejection for various reasons. There was quite a large number of railroad men present, and they were all brought out in a competition for a beauty Bhow, and, finally, the prize was awarded to U. W. Wrenn. The comments of the members of the club upon the various qualifications and appearance of these railway oificials caused the room to echo with laughter. Another laughable skit was a fake meeting of an alleged cabinet, in which various sporting characters appeared and tried to pass themselves off as the real thing. They were rinally hustled out unceremoniously. Among those- who made excellent l etches were I'ostmaster General Smith, Senators Allison and Mitchell; the Chinese minister. Former Senator Carter and Governor Francis both now connected with the Louisiana l'urshase Kxposition; Representative Landis. of Indiana; Solicitor Genera! Richards of the Department of Justice, ami others. The musical programme, as usual, was excellent, consisting of solos, quartets and chorust-.-. as well as catchy topical EOngs. Among those present besides the speakers named were Senators Burrows and Hanna; Representatives Foerderer. Underwood and Joy; General John It. Hrooke, General Henry C. Corbin, General J. F. Weston. General Francis V'.' Greene. F. N. Rarksdale, of the Pennsylvania Railroad; Former Representative James R. Relford, Colorado; Charles A.

AN OFFICE BOY'S STORY.

Says lie Curried Letters from Lutvyer Sullivan, to JJuilHT Lynch. CHICAGO, Dec. 7. A number of witnesses whose evidence was wanted to show that ex-Bailiff J. J. Lynch was often in the office of Alexander Sullivan when the latter was attorney for the West Chicago 6tret-rallway Company, occupied the stand in the Sullivan conspiracy case today. Emery Warne, Edward Turner, 1. A. Maroney and Robert Hill, all formerly connected with the traction company's legal department, and F. Richardson, forrr.srly In the city law department, testified. Hill, who was an otlice boy for Mr. Sullivan, was sprung as a surprise on the defense late yesterday. Hill was recalled the first thing to-day. He said he had carried letters from Sullivan to Lyncn aiid that he had brought verbal communications for Lynch to meet Sullivan. He had seen Lynch and Attorney St. John In Sullivan's olüce many times ns often as twice and thrice a week sometimes. On cross-examination the defense brought out the fact that letters were delivered in the open courtroom of Judge Clifford, where Lynch acted as bailiff. Then Assistant State's Attorney Rarnes asked: "You didn't wave them in the air did you?" 'No." Hill answered. "I slipped them to him quietly." The testimony of Warne, Turner, Maroney and Richardson supported Hill's story that Lynch called often on Mr. Sullivan. The defense on cross-examination brought out assertions that there seemed to be nothing suspicious about the meetings. Maroncy stated that he had often seen Dan Coughlln in Sullivan's office also. John Gordon, husband of Josephine Gordon, was a witness and told of forwarding to Lynch in New York, under the name of Connors, money which he received from Dennis Ryan, the custodian of a fund of J1.5X which had been provided for the eupport of Lynch during his exile. He was followed by his wife Josephine, who corroborated Lynch's narrative wherein it concerned her and told of conversations she hid had with St. John about her brother.

HEARST'S MEN RELEASED

MAX AG IX G HDITOII AXI) ItnrOKTUIt hkscll: nv Jtnr.n duxxc,

Who Admitted JikIr Iinncey Und rieen Libeled, but Grantel "Writs of Huben Corpus.

CHICAGO, Dec. 7. Andrew M. Lawrence, nr.anaglng editor of Hearst's Chicago American, and II. S. Canfield, a reporter, who were sentenced recently by Judge Hanecy to forty find thirty days, respectively, in the county jail for contempt of court, were discharged from custody by Judge Dunne to-day. In granting a writ of habeas corpus to the relators, the court ?ald the case hinged on whether the case on which the Chicago American commented had been disposed of by Judge Hanecy, or was still pending. Judge Dunne held that tho case in question had been finally disposed of by Judge Hanecy when he gave his decision from the bench. The fact that tho clerk had not entered tho order when the comment on the decision was printed and published therefore does not show that the ca?e was still pending. The act of entering the order on the record was merely a ministerial act. Judge Dunne said. Judge Dunne admitted that the articles and cartoon which Judge Hanecy objected to were clearly calculated to intimidate and coerce the court, had the court not already rendered its decision. Judge Dujine admitted that the cartoon in evidence was probably libelous and the articles possibly so. Harsh criticism. Judge Dunne remarked, 13 one of the incidents and burdens of public life. "I tc no reason," he said, "why a Judge should be offered a different remedy fur attacks in the public prints than a president, or a governor, or a congressman. Criticism of a public official, if Just, will do good; if unjust, will do no harm." In concluding the court said: "I am clearly of the opinion that the language used in open court by Judge Hanecy amounted to a linal order disposing of the case under consideration, and that being a linal order, under the doctrine of 'contempt, ' as laid down in this State by our Supreme Court, in Story vs. the People, that the relators had a right to comment and criticise that decision, even to the extent of libeling tho honored and respected jud who rendered that opinion without exposing themselves to prosecution for contempt of court." Following is Judge Hanecy's comment on Judge Dunne's decision: "Judge Dunne had the ;uvtr to so decide, but he did not have the right. Any Judge has the power to let every prisoner out of the penitentiaries, but thty have not the riht, nor dews anybody expect that they will." The contempt case and the habeas corpus hearing which followed grew out of r.n effort made by the Chicago American to secure an order for uuo warranto proceedings to compel the People's (JuslUht and Coke Company to show by what right they operated in Chicago. Judge Hanecy lefused to allow the quo warranto proceedings and following this refusal the American printed articles and a cartoon strongly intimating that the Judge had ben unduly Influenced and that when ha again came up for election he would discover that the people had no confidence in him. Judge Hanecy cited Lawrence and Cantleld, with oth-.-rs of the paper, for contempt and found Lawrence and Canneld guilty. W. II. Hearst, owner of the paper, Clare Briggs and Homer Davenport, cartoonifts, have not letn within the Jurisdiction of the court and the contempt charge still pnds against them. The evidence heard by Judge Hanecy was reviewed before Judge Dunne. Lieut. Mrrrlntu to Wed. DENVER. Col.. Dec. 7. A marriage license was lsued to-dnv for Lieut. Henry Merriam. son of flen. Henry C.

Great Sun. Circle, Itnrely Seen, OliKcrvcd 1y n Professor of Pliynlos. CLEVELAND, O., Dec. 7. A remarkable meteorological observation that will undoubtedly become historical in astronomy was made here yesterday by Rev. Frederick Odenbach, S. J., professor of physics in St. Ignacius College. The observation was that of the great sun circle, or halo of Hevelius, which has only been observed three times before, and probably never eo perfect. Preceding a period of low barometric pressure, halos are often noticed about the sun. The commonest öf these halos is one that appears at a distance of 22 degrees from the sun. An outer halo, at a distance of 4S degrees, is also occasionally noted. But the great halo of Hevelius, at a distance of SO degrees, as observed by Professor Odenbach, is a great rarity, and hundreds of years may pass before It is observed again. The inner circle of 22 degrees was complete, portions of the 4S-degree circle were distinct and the great circle of Hevelius was distinct for half Its circumference.

ITO KLFISED A PASS.

JapancHC Itallronds Compel All Travelers to Pay. Saturday Evening Post. Marquis Ito, the Japanese statesman, said, while In St. Paul recently, that of all the American customs that impressed him ns peculiar the free transportation extended by the railroads of this country seemed most odd. "Why," said he, "should a railroad give away tickets? Every bit of mileage to them is the same as a piece of cloth to a dry goods firm. In Japan every one has to ray for his transportation. I never rode on a Japanese railroad for nothing in my life." When the Marqulsa and party decided to proceed east from St. Paul .over the Milwaukee line the officials of the road extended to the distinguished Japanesa and his companions the courtesy of the line and informed Mr. Ito's private secretary that the tickets and the private car coit nothing. The secretary was visibly embarrassed and shook his head dubiously as he left the office of the company to convey the startling information to hU master. Shortly afterward Marquis Ito appeared at the railroad office and insisted on paying for the tickets and the use of the special car. "I have no claim to your esteemed company," said the Oriental. "I should not feel riht in traveling over your most excellent road without paying for the great pleasure." And so the Milwaukee officials were ob llged to carry the Marquis and his party over their line in the same way as if they were Just plain, every-day Americans. Luxuries for Prisoners. New York Commercial Advertiser. It has always been the boast that Americans treated their prisoners better than any other country, but If the state of affair3 at Fresnes. just outside Paris, is typical of all French prisoners, America is left sadly in the rear. We find on the list of things provided for next year such items as 1,: kilos o apple marmalade, i squares cf chocolate, -J ) kilos of ti-s. 2-) kilus of plums, 1X0 kilos of Spanish licorice, 150 kilos of caramel, 1.2j kilos of coffee and 2,"J kll-.es of sugar. The authorities of Fresnes are arguing that it is better to turn a well man out of prison than a sick one, and good food and varied Is the best thing for euch a purpose. The result is that the prisoners will be fed much better than many of the taxpayers and Fresnes prison is likely to become very popular. MMMaaiaaBBaaManaMaBB I'sc. of Oatmeal Declining:. Scottish American. Whether Scotsmen generally are getting off thtir porridge In the morning, or oatmtal cakes are becoming less common. It is hard to tell, but experts, after looking carefully into the matter, give It as their opinion that the consumption of oatmeal Is falling off in Scotland, or, at least, is not keeping pace with the increase in population. Possibly the "long lie and the tea breakfast" are not fo much conflr.ed to Sunday as they used to be. and "halesome parrltrh" is no longer the distinctive national dish in the country of Burns a;:d ScCtL

UiNCLE SAM'S PLAYTHINGS

CURIOUS COLLECTIOX OF TOYS FOl'.ND IX NATIONAL MUSEUM.

Dolls of AU Nation nnd n, Variety of GnniCH Played by Children of Far Countries.

VT. II. Chandle?, in St. Nicholas. It will doubtless surprise many readers of the December St. Nicholas to learn that Uncle Sam has one of the largest collections of toys in the world. He keeps them in the National Museum at Washington, where they may be seen by hundreds, nicely arranged and labeled, in the exhibition hall. But on the balcony in the west end of the big building is the real Santa Claus shop. Lie tho spider's parlor in the nursery song, tho way to this wonderland is "up a windln? stair." On each sido of the long balcony Is a range of tall pine cases fitted with drawers in which are stored toys and games from all parts of thei world. To be sure, these drawers contain many ether interesting objects besides, for it is in this department that everything relating to ethnology i3 sorted and catalogued for exhibition. Ethnology is the science which tells us of human races in thtir progress from savagery to civilization how people in all parts of the world live, of the things they use in every-day life, and how they use them. The toys and games In Uncle Sam's collection have been gathered, by his agents, from every known country. Many of them are rare and costly, and beautifully made; but tha mot interesting and unuual are tha product of uncivilized hands. Some are gorgeously colored and decorated with beads and shells, while others aro grimy and pitifully mean; but they have each brought their measure of joy to some childish heart, somewhere. MANY KINDS OF DOLLS. Of dolls alone there are enough to give any little reader a new one every day until she becomes too old to care longer for them! ivory babies from Alaska, dressed in little coats of deer fur to protect them from an Arctic winter; South Sea island puppets with scarcely any clothes at all; Indian papooses decked with beads and buckskin; pink-cheeked waxen beauties from Paris; ulmond-eyed Japanese in red kimonos; black wooden images from the Kongo; and various other dolls fashioned from clothes-pins, pine cones, and cornhusks: Some In rags, Some in jas. And some in velvet gowns. Uncle Sam is especially rich In Alaskan dolls. Some of them are of ivory, no bigger than your thumb, but the clothing Is made viith the greatest care from the s.iftit sealskin, trimmed with bend and edged with white hair from the lt of the deer. Others are two or three feet In height and are carved from wood and equally well dressed, even to thtir mittens, kin caps with earnajs. and their perfectly correct snowshoes. Then there are the dolls of the Zunl and the Moqui Indians of Arizona and New Mexico. These are a brüll. nt and cheerful gathering and occupy a drawer all to themselves. Some are made of wood ar.d others of baked clay, and all are painted in gaudy colors. Some among them have real hair done up In tunny little knots above their tars, er in braids, with feathers and red flannel. I show you a picture of one of them; he represeutH a fire dancer. HU body Is painted black and is spangled all over with glistening tinstl. which makes him appear as if he were- covered with parks. TOYS OF THE ESKIMOS. Many of the more beautiful toys were made by the Eskimos. During the long Arctic nights th.ce wonderful little people carve, from the tueVs of the walrus, figures of evcrv conceivable Ehare and dtsln.

Often entire villages are made, the huts, bldarkees (or canoes) and dog sledges being in perfect miniature. The dogs aro cut of fine-grained white wood, and are most natural in their attitudes. Tho toy makers of Nuremberg or of Switzerland could not have done more skillful work. The art of these Arctic folk Is the more wonderful when one considers the very primitive tools which they have to use. The knife with which they carve the dainty little figures is seldom more than a bit of steel barrel hoop ground down to an edge and lashed with thongs of walrus hide to a handle of bone or drift wood. The toys of the Zuni Indians are modeled in clay and baked to prevent them from crumbling. Cows, goats and frogs, streaked and spotted with paint, hold the first place In this collection, but there are also clay whistles and bird warblerc, the latter quite like the tin ones seen In our shop windows. The bird is made to sing by tilling its hollow body with water and blowing through a tube inserted in its back. There are also clay rattles of various shapes and sizes in the Zunl exhibit, and wooden birds that flap their Jointed wings like those we hang upon our Christmas tree. INDIAN AND PERSAN GAMES. In the collection of games there are a great many objects interesting either for the oddity of their shape, curious operation, or beauty of workmanship. One novel game consists of four pieces of bone attached by a brad string- to a long steel bodkin. The bodkin is held in one hand and the bonee tossed up into the air. A skillful player may succeed in catching one or mors of the bones upon the steel point, and scores accordingly. This game Is a favorite with the Indians, and is not unlike our own game of "cup-and-ball." A card game from Persia, valued at many hundreds of dollars, has its board inlaid in folid gold; and a set of chessmen from India are of beautifully carved ivory, each "man" being at leas-t four inches in height. Another curious game, from which our "Jack straws" is probably descended, consists of a bundle of arrows of carved ivory or wood. It was an ancient custom to tcss these arrows into the air, and after they tell to the ground they were drawn out ly tho men grouped around them. In thH tr.anner, and according to the' numbers and j-ymbols upon the arrow, captains were appointed in the army and various duties were assigned to the soldiers. The so-called "bull-roarer." one of the oldest of toys, has an interesting history. It is nothing more than a bit ot wood attached to a string, which on being whirled around rapidly, produces a loud, rumbling sound. The ancient Pgyptians believed that the tumbling of the "bull-roarer" would hi answered by the rumbling of thunder; consequently, during a drought th men would sally forth "bul'.-roan rs" In hand, to invoke the ruin-god to send them water from the skies. This curious toy U .-tili used by some savage tribe?, who be-Ihve its roaring noise will frishten away evil Fpirits that may be lurking near. THC UKD INDIANS OP SIHKHIA

shyness which was blushlngly apparent when I wanted to take their photographs. They didn't quite understand the camera. Put when it was explained they were pleased, and laughed and hung back, and after many persuasions from the onlooklng crowd what a medley we sometimes were, Russian, Chinese, English, French. Germans, In all sorts of costumes they would stand forward with the awkward delight of a yokel who is getting his 5 shillings from the 'squire's lady tor showing the best cabbages at the village flower show. I found the Russians had a klndjy admiration for the Puriats, extolling' them for their simplicity and honesty. These Buriats, though they live in tents, are not really nomads, but keep to ono particular district. Although the children of the Mongols, once the terror of the world, there is nothing of the warrior about than except their splendid horsemanship. Highbanked and comfortable do their saddles look, but they manage their horses, which are light brown, with black manes and very swift, with wonderful agility. They know well how their ancestors once swept Europe, and they have a Arm belief that some day a leader will arise and regain their lost kingdom. To me there is something: very pathetic in this confidence among race? once powerful, but now subjected, that the dr.y will

I coma when they will relnherlt their own. i Perhaps It ie well they should have this

little glow of patriotism In their hearts. To-day the Uurlats arc pastoral. They live chit-Hy on milk, millet, and sheep killed on feast days. Their wealth consists in immense herds of cattle; some of them even nossess fnrtv nr fiftv thousand head.

I In the cases of families owning great herds ! the life Is quite partlarchal. Though sons

and daughters marry, tho new wives ana new husbands must come and live in the family camp. Dung is used as fuel. The commonest is that of horses pounded under foot by tho women and then sun-dried. That of goats and sheep gives the fiercest heat, and is k pt for winter use. In religion the-y are Buddhists, bu j have only been so for three centuries. They are fond of making pilgrimages to Ourga. where there is a "living Buddha." So great Is this devotion that a Burla t will frequently surrender the whole of his property to some shrine on condition he receives just enough to live upon.

Described ly nn EiirHhU Traveler In the Trniiftbnlkun Region of HqmsIu. Letter in London News. We saw clusters of tents exactly like the red Indian tents. They belonged to the aborigines, Buriat Mongols, who are vanishing before the Muscovites n. the redskins are vanishing hefore the Saxons.

They are all good-looking mt n. and had I met them in Nevada, it would never have struck me they were not red Indians. The women folk, however, would have put me riht. Without bing accused cf lark of gallantry, the Indian squaw is one of the laat ladles on earth for whom it would be possible to roue admiration coare, fat to unwleldiness. and with as much expression as a potato.

Viicclnniion hii1 Tt'tniiti. Philadelphia Medical Journal. The occurrence of tetanus in some ch!l dren during the course of vaccination In n neighboring city has probably hi to a great de;il of unneces?ary alarm In reference to the accidental d-tr.gers of itcc ination.

Tittnu- U liable to occur in the vaccine po k. as 11 is liable to occur in any open wound Py admixture of dirt nnd tilth and simi'ar material. We doubt whuh'T thre is a u.

The operation of vaccination, whiie it is a jdn:;-' one, must m c rtli '.c ss b. trrhd out villi extraordinary care. The instrument should ! scrupulously '1 an, and the part upon which vaccination is to be perform- d should be carefully washed with soap, water and alcohol. It is not wis.- to u'i the ordinary antiojtic solutions, as th-y are liable to destroy the :!; ty i tha viru. "e ar- cert.: 'n that tlo- projhylaxis which will effectually prevent the occurrence of tetanus In vaccination is cleanliness. Hireutl Mr. IMily. New York livening Hun.
