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.

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. r.yy me* i m t»r**WL 1 n*#OM f v ."wisrr
