AT THE TENTH STREET WMISSION Boya and Girls Made Happy by Gifts in Plenty. There was but one thing to mar the serfect hapiness of the children of Tenth Street Clty misslon yesterday and that was he absence of snow. As a general thing his feature of winter weather is hardly appreciated by the thinly-clad children, but under the unusual circumstances, being warmly clothed and the possessors of thirty or more sleds, there seemed to be a feeling that Santa Claus had left something undone after all. Nine o'clock was the hour set for the boys to return for the stockings they had hung the evening before, but Miss Magee and her assistants found the majority of them walting outside when they arrived shortly before that hour. Notwithstanding the perfect system with which everything had been arranged for the distribution, it was not without some apprehension on the part of the teachers that the boys were admitted to the room where the Christmas stockings were hung and the larger things placed on chairs below them. This was soon dispellod, however, for the boys passed in in line, standing quietly as the presents were handed to each in turn, and then passing out. There was no lingering cutside, the children runnipg quickly home to Inspect the contents of the mysterious looking packages and investigate the depths of the steckings, which presented a stuffed appearance, The distribution occupled less than half An hour, which admitted of a short rest before the arrival of the girls at 10 o'clock. In the Interval several of the hoys, having examined their glfts, returned and hung about the door, which occasioned the only trouble of the morning and necessitated a littlo discipline. The girls accepted their gifts even more quiétly than the boys and the buflding was soon cleared. In spite of the weeks of effort on the part of the missfon workers, it Is doubtful if even the satisfaction of the children exceeded their own at the complete success of the work. PRISONERS HAVE A GOOD FEED County and City Do Not Forget Ja Inmates, Forty Inmates of the county jall were gladdened on Christmas day by a dinner than which uo one of them had partaken of & better in all his lite. 1f any tablo In Omaha bore a more profuse burden of foods and delicactes the difference was only in the modernized palate ticklers that cost wuch money. Nob were the prisoners allowed to. lose sight; In their joy at the feast, of the real significance of the occasion. Appropriate religlous and song services were held be- fore the meal For the first-Christmas in many years, not & Woman was in tho county jall vesterday. And there was only one boy, he being an Incorrigible of 11 years. All the rest were grown men, and tie charges on which they were held. ran the gamut of the orim- Inal code. It happened that none of the forty was at the time in gloso confinement on bread and water for misdemeanor or other cause, but if there had been any such, ho would not have been barred from par- tielpation in the anniversary feast Many “extras,” not seen nor tasted by some of the Inmates in many a long month, were on the bill of fare. There was butter for the bread, real cream and sugar for tho coffee, and the potatoes were creamed, stead of boing served boiled with jackets on. Bosides these things there were tur- ey, dressing, cranberry sauce, celery, ap- ples, mince ple, cider, oranges and candies At 2 o'clock this spread was attacked and ample time was allowed the prisoners for its consideration, Tho forty-two prisoners at the city had a roast turkey supper at 5 o'clock, with cranberries, prunes and mince ple as sido Qishes. The fall ehof fairly outdid himselt ronstiug the bird to a rich nut brown and taking great pains as to the seasoning ot the dressiug, and the flavoring of the mince- meat from which the pie was made. The prisoners seemed to enjoy the repast. Many of them, perhaps, had a better dinner than wauld have been theirs had they not in- cufred the mishap of arrest. It was very qulet at the fail all day, a fow drunks and a fow street fights, the results ot a perverted kind of celebration, alone | brwaking in upon the monotony of feeding prisoners and answering telephone calls, Happiness I but another name for por- tedt health, Use Prickly Ash Bitters and bé happy.

LAWS INADEQUATE FOR THE PURPOSE Authorities of that Country Ap ciate the Difcalties Which System of Government talln In Such Matter. En- WASHINGTON, Dec The Italian government has renewed its efforts of lute with the authorities In Washington to have our federal statutes so extended s to protect forelgners in cases arising within the jurisdiction of states, thus giving a federal remedy for lynchinge and like af- frays directod agalnst Italians, such as have occurred in Louisiana, Colorado and Mississippl. It 18 the cxchange of views in thie connection which recently brought on the discussion In the Itallan senate when Baron Fava inter- polated the Italian premier as to the prog- ress of an adjustment. Immediately on the arrival of the new ambassador, Signor Mayor des Blances) he took up this ques- tiou, which had arisen in counection with the lynching of several Italian citizens at rwin, Miss. In this connection Signor Mayor said to- day: N Critieines the Treaty, the treaty which exists between Italy and the Uniiéd States the citizens of each country are guaranteed the fullest protection while resfding in the other coun try. In the case of Americans residing in Itaiy they had exactly the same rights, the same protection, the same fecourse ourts, that Itallan swblects enjoy. The nly exception fa i1 connection with polit- ical rights. In the case of Italians residing in the United Stalcs the treaty assures them ‘the same rights and protection given to American cltizens. But unfortunately this expression of the treaty, so far as it relates to [tallans in this country, Is some- what theoretical, for under the American system, which limits the federal authority over atates, the central government Is not able to glve effect to the guarantee laid down by the treaty. We fully recognize the difficulties of this eituation,” which has been as apparent to gtatesmen of this country as they have those of Italy. We would bring about the enactment ¢ which would permit the federal government to carry out the guars of treaties. This would be a genuir dy for af falrs similar to those which have occurred in Loulsiana and Missiasippi and would prevent the perlodical wgitation over cases arlsing In the states. AS these cases arose they would be assured of attention under the federal authority with careful regard for the execution of treaty obligations Since the recent lynchings at Irwin, Miss., there has been more or lewe discus. sion of the payment of & money indemnity. But, in the view of the Italian governmen the ' question of Indemnity does not ent into the case. There has been no suggvs- ton coming from us, much I for a cash indemnify to the The Ttalian government does not seek money. At the same time the famili the victims, who are the ones most dir affected, are naturally willing to listen to suggestion of a monetary Indemnity 1 theso suggestions are volunt do by the state or federal authorities can do nothing more than be the medium for considering them in behalf of our people. But such indemnities are to the people affected, and not to the Itallan government, which feels there is a far greater consideration involved than a finan- clal return to individuals. It is the real and permanent remedy, to have the federal laws give (o Itallin subjects the protection guaranteed In our treatles, that we desire, and it 18 to this.end that views are tending. rather than to the payment of special in- demnities in special " cases, What the Itallan government desires {8 a system covering all cases, CHRISTMAS AT WHITE HOUSE Executive Mansion Closed to Public —President’s Children Recipi- ents of Many Presents.
