Arrived Farlv
Tbe Xmas tree featieltles weiw Wdied
-1 uled to begin at S o'clock, but a* eorly
| g* t.jo last afternoon, the children be
gan arriving at (be Plat*. They want
ed to be there on time, and see that
tree that they had been rending about
and hearing about so much In the lad
two week*. Xmas day bad, not yet
dawned, but Tbe Herald bgtl wired
Manta Claus, and that kind old fellow
had arrived a Httle prematurely.
| He was making the Scheutxeyi I’lal*
hi* headquarter*. There wag a con- :
units stream of little ones coming nut
i Crawford avenue, and up WaHon Way
for an hour or so. Mothers gnd fath- :
1 era were with them, and brother* and
slater* came along to see th* children
enjoy themselves.
The children were a hit Impat'cnt for
the celebration, but they had to wait j
awhile, so they played about the j
ground* end otherwise amused them- j
selves until the M 10l ear. kindly ten- i
ricrert by the Aium-ta Street Railway j
and Eertric Company, arrived with the ,
Tenth Ohio Band. The band proceeded ;
to tbe piazza of the hall and there dis
coursed popular airs.
The children, so many of them, were !
watting on the piazza, at the door o
the room. Ip which they could get a ,
glimpse of Ihe Xma* tree through the j
windows.
In the hall
Promptly at 4 o’clock the doors wen I
opened, and the eager little ones rush
ed In. There were erica of "Oh I oh I "
from many little throats, and childish ,
faces lighted up with joy and amaze
ment. for there stood the big tree,
lighted by myriads of colored Incandes
cent lamps and covered with presents
galore. Around the foot of the large
holly tree was a kind of counter, cov
ered with more presents, and decorated
with hunting. After the hand hart
► played several selections, Santa Clau*
arrived in the room. He was a jolly
looking Santa Claus, and his smile
caught the children at once.
He was dressed in-an ermine trim
med robe of red. having decided that
fugs were too worm for this trip, and
had left fits reindeer at home. He
came out on a trolley car, and as there
was no chimney to the room, he made
hi* entrance through the door. He sta
tioned himself near the tree, and talk
ed to the children. They clustered
about him, end he seemed tickled to
death to see the many small boys and
girls.
Distribution of Presents.
It was after J o’clock when the dis- j
tribution of guvs was made. Santa |
Claus’ assistants, several weil known f
ladies, stood In the enclosed space 1
about the trees snd as each etiild pre

much applause, snd Mr. Kccles’ Bing

Rut hi* friend* and relatives, and
j they are legion, are putting ta a pow-
I rrful lot of talk in hi* behalf. They

independent of that, (here ha* been a

a powerful undereiinent i* setting tn
in hi* behalf.
They cite hi* record a> nenau>r
a* replete with *ctx nf umifulner* to
hi* friend* and service to hi* state,
and proudly point to the fact that he
wielded a wonderfully potent Influence
In her tiehnir in the day* when repub
licanism was all powerful and when
the republican policy .was that of
growing nppreatrton and tyranny.
Then again they make a powerful ar
gument in lii* behalf and one that iw
likely to prove popular with the hor
npurs of the Palmetto stale, and that In
hi* romantic and picturesque career in
the war* which are likely to form the
closing Keene* of the Nineteenth cen
tury.
At the memorable battle of Brandy

Returning to his command as soon ax
his wound would permit, he wa* at
once made a brigadier general, and
shortly thereafter was made major
general.
How his ability ami skill in general
ship has been recognized by the Mc-
Kinley administration In appointing
him it mujor general in the army to
gether witli Lee and Wheeler are mat
tpi* of recent and familiar history, hut
no man but one or influence could
have gotten the place and distinction
thill he has; and yon need not overlook
any bets that it. will he worked for all
that it Is worth In the event that he
makes the race for senator. Titos*
who stand close to him, while urging
all these arguments in his favor, say
tlial they are not authorized either to
deny or affirm the truth of the rumor
of his candidacy; and that any an
nouncement at this time would be pre
mature.
Hut straws, they say. show which
way the wind blows, and there’s sure
a ilutteratlon of straws In that direc
tion.
The spectacle of General Butler re
turning from Cuba wlih fresh laurels
on his brow and sweeping everything
liefore him would find a parallel in
dramatic effect only In the memorable’
progress made by General Fitzhugb
Lee to the governorship of Virginia on
ihe saddle of Gen. Rolit L. Lee, or
tbe dashing and successful campaiuu
or Gen. John B. Gordon of Georgia,
for the same position, starling in the
race and beating the Hon. Thumbs M.
Norwood after the latter had gotten
fourteen counties the start. If Butler
does tackle Tillman, look put for the
air to he filled with flying fur. The
Put times in the old Palmetto state
will lie a caution to snakes. H. P. M.
