Christmas was celebrated last night at the Tenleytown Baptist Church by the Sunday school teachers, scholars and their friends. A great crowd was present. The church was richly decorated with evergreens. Spanning the pulpit’ was an arch of cedar, from which hung fruits, toys and candies.” The exercises opened with an ad- dress by the pastor, Rev. G. W. McCullough. The scholars participating in the program were Robbie Thompson, Lillie Wendel, Cassie Thompson, Ordie Lockwood, Essie’ Riley, May Thompson, Blanch Ferguson, Lulu Willet, Annie Wendel, ‘Cora Bolden, Robert Yowl and Maggie Thompson. ‘Tho distribution of gifts by the superintendent, B.

One of the skaters dis- appeared through an air hole in the ice, and was drowned before he could be resened. ‘The man’s dead body was recovered after | some trouble, and was laid on the ice to await the arrival of the dead wagon. The body was that of a man apparently thirty-five years old, but none of the skaters were able to identify villages THE GARBAGE COMPLAINTS. The Contractor Blames the Bad Service on His Men. ‘The garbage question is the main topic of conversation at the health office jnst now, and it is all because of the increased number of complaints received each day. ‘Thirty-five complaints or requests for garbage removals were made to the health office today, and Con- tractor Clarke and Dr. Hammett held a lengthy consultation. Dr. Hammett says that many persons have an idea that he is responsible for the garbage service, while the contractor is the man who is under bond to remove the garbage. Contractor Clarke told a Star reporter that he alone was responsible for the service; that he was under bond to perform the service, and he must doit to a reasonable degree of satis faction. “And,” he said “I am making a des perate effort to do it.” Dr. Hammett interrupted, saying that 1,000 carts couldn't give an entirely satisfactory ser- vice. Mr. Clarke said he had twenty-two teams in the service all the time and now there were twenty-five wagons employed. He said that continual changes in _ the force caused all the difficulty. When the men learn the rontes, he said, something happens which necessitates a change and new men have to be put on. Mf. Clarke stated that he was now considering the question of bring- ing some men from the country and giving them such pay as would induce them to per- form their duties properly. While the conversation was in progress a tcle- hone message was received from Mrs. tor Hale saying she wished the garbage men weuld call and remove her garbage, ‘The contractor told Dr. Hammett that the garbage would be removed from Senator Hale's house today if he had to do it himself. “Has the garbage service stopped?” asked a complaint signed E. C. Moore, 1818S strect. “There has been no one at ‘my house this month.”* “Mra. K. C. Sollers inquirea: “What's be- come of the slop wagons? Ihave not been visited for two weeks and my cans are in bad condition.” Many other complaints stated times and cir- cumstances, but they had been turned over to the contractor. Mr. Clarke assured the re- porter that he doing the best he could to give the people a first- class service. He said that he was paying good wages and also had two ingpectors In the service and he could not tell why it was that the drivers would neglect ro many houses, heen ‘A NEW RAILROAD OUTLET. Projectors of the Re to Burnt Mills and Sandy Springs ea Hearing. This morning the Commissioners gave afhenr- ing to a number of parties interested in House bill 9,956, for the construction of the District brauch of the Washington, Burnt Mille and Sandy Spring Nailroad, an electric passenger and freight road, which it is proposed to run from Ashton, Montgomery county, Md., into the Disirict. ' Among those who were present were Dr. C. G. Stone, Guion Miller, A. M. Stabler, Frank B. Metzerott, Dr. F. Thomas, J. Enos Ray, R. H. Miller, E. Everett Rapley and A. G. Thomas. . Mr. Guion Miller acted as spokesman for the party, and explained that the road desired, To the Faitor of The Evening Star: In Tur Sran of December 24 was an article, the author of which deserves credit for his i ventive genius. Had I posseased the same power to invent history I would not have de- layed my reply so long, but it takes time to look up facts and authorities. Julius Cwsar, it is waid, was assusinate | on the ‘Ides of March.” This date has never been called im question simply because no one had any object for dis- puting it. ‘There are probably few dates in ancient his- tory that are so well attested ax that of the na- tivity of our Savior, and this date would never have been oalled in question but for the opp tion to the Roman Catholic Church. Still the same people who antagonize this date receive and practice other things that rest entirely upon the “tipse dixit” of that church. Christ was born during the taxing under | Augustus and it is beyond dispute that the 25th | of December was observed by all. the western | churches long before the records of that and other events were destroyed by Alaric the Hun. ‘o student of church history will dispute but what, as vour correspondent says, the eastern church hept January 6 as the festival of the na- i that they changed to December 25 ourth century, but this is not, as he suys, the first mention made of the festival. Indeed, this change itself makes it evident that the two dates were both obterved before. Schuff and Herzog, in theirEneyclopedia of Religious Knowledge, say that the nativity is first spoken of by Clement of Alexandria as | Ciement of Alexandria was Philosopher. who became a Christian convert. The dates of 8 birth and death have not been pre: served, but the Eneyclopwda Britanuia save that his writings were between 193 and 211 A. D. Schaff and Hersog, iu the sao work, refer to the famous sermon preagged by Chry bishop of Cousiantinople, of Decomber 2 in which he « 3 ith of December is no doubt the correct date, for our brethren at Rome have often had the opportunity to ex- ne the records of the tasing.” After morating some of the objections that have been urged against this date these authors say: vertheless, the fact remains that the whole western eburch universally agreed upon that date, and the eastern church adopted it with- ont mach contradictio It has been waid thut the shepherds could not have been watching their flocks in the open field at this season. Bethlehem of Judea ia about 31 degrees north latitude or about the same as southern Georgia in the United States, and the isothermal line from Bethlehem strikes tho United States coast in north Florida. ‘The temperature could not, therefore, have been too low, Again they have thought that they found an objection in the “rainy senson of ‘alestine.”” ‘The rainy season begins abont the Int of November, stops about the middle of December wud begins again about the middle of February, thus constituting what the Bible calls the “Former aud Later tains. Kather than set aside the strong historic evi- dence of this date. I would presume that the year of our Savior's birth was an abnormally favorable yeur, but it would require an ab- normally unfavorable season to drive the shep- herds in doors. Bishop Lightfoot raises an objection to this dete that, at first, seoma plausible. Ie ways that Christ was probably born iu autumn, for, he thinks, it would be strauge that Passover is preserved in Easter and Fentecost in Whitsun- v,and that the other great festival of the Jews, viz., the Feast of Tabernacles, is not per- petuated.' This objection, I think, will soon vanish when held up to the light.” ‘The Pass- over was observed in memory of the deliverance from Egyptian bondage, and also pointed for- ward to the death of Christ; Pentecost com- memorated the giving of the Ten Command- ments on Mount Sinai These two festivals eclectic ysostom, 386, Christians might be. Not #0, however. with the Feast of Tubernacies, which was kept as a thanksgiving for the fruits of the earth. This must necessarily change with the climate where their lot wax cast. This fextiual has, however, been preserved in Europe, in the Harvest Home, and in the United States in Thanksgiving . Christ came to establish Catholic Church after reaching the District line, to use either of the following routes: First, beginning at a point in the city of Washington, District of Columbia, at the inter- section of Florida avenue and New York ave- nue and extending parallel with the line of the Metropolitan branch of the Baltimore and Ohio railroad to. point about one mile from said Florida avenue; thence leaving the line of the said Baltimore and Obio railroad going in a northerly course to the northeastern boundary line of the District of Columbia, at or near the intersection of the said boundury line and the Sargent rond, as may hereafter be sur- veyed and agreed upon by and between the parties named herein or their successors and the Commissioners of the District of Co- lumbia; or, second. beginning at a point at or near University station, on the said Metropolitan branch of the Baiti- more and Ohio railroad, and extending thence in a northeasterly course to the north- eastern boundary of the District of Columbia, or near the intersection of the said boundary line and the Sargent road as may hereafter be surveyed and agreed upon by and between the parties named herein or the the Commissioners of the District of Columbia, He stated that the selection of the particuiar route would depend upon their abil wtisfactory arrangements with other roads in the city. “He said the road in the District would be an annex of the Maryland 5 and would provide _ railroad for a section of Maryland, which was known as the garden spot of Montgomery county, « local- ity which lay between the Metropolitan and the mam branch of the — Baltimore Ohio railroad, and which was tically without an outlet. The length of the roa would be sixteen or eighteen miles, and it was propored to use the trolley system of bverhead wires. Should jhe first route be sel capital stock would be $50,000. and twice that sum should the wecond be determined upon. Mr. KH. Miller and Mr. A. G. ‘Thomas of Maryland explained the great necessity for such a road, staling that there were great duiry and lumber interes s which would be advanced by it. Dr, Stone also advocated the road. The Commissioners stated they would make known their decision in the matter at the earliest practicable de, ALEXANDRIA, ICE PONDS ON THE STREET. The continued icy weather has produced a novel effect on the surface drainage here. Wherever an impediment in tho gutter had made a little dam the freeze has made a larger one, and so in many places the ob- structed water has extended a long way into the street, making ponds of ice at some business centers and adding, especially where the little ponds have become slippery, other-dams to thone of the ice. At some places in King street these ponds extend nearly to the street railway track, and if the cold weather continues it is likely that the ice will pass upon the tracks and require to be cut off and cleared away. SMATING PARTIES, The Mt. Vernon Electric railroad is proving an excellent accommodation to the skaters. The street cars make special trips to the Creek bridge in the moonlight and carry many to en- for the fine skating which is now offered on lanting creek. Numbers of ladies, ax well a: gentlemen, avail themselves of the opportu- nity. ‘ FUNERAL OF A YOUNG PRINTER. ‘The funeral of young Charles Smith, a Wash- ington printer resident here, took pluce this afternoon from the home of his parents on north Royal street between Cameron and Queen streets. The firemen of the Relief Hook and Ladder company, to which the deceased had been attached, ad well as large delegations | of Columbia and Hydraulion firemen escorted the remains to the cemetery. Norzs, A delegation of Free Masons from both the Masonic lodges here went last uight via the Wi and Obio railroad to Hamilton, Ya., to unite with their brothers of the Mystic ‘ie in the work of the order at that village. The Loudoun Masons gave them a cordial wel- instead of the National Jewish Church.

There 1s, however, considerable specula- tion as to the object of Capt. Bourke’s recent to give it undue importance. It is learned today that his mission was strictly a secret one and that its object would present. It can, however, be stated positively that Capt. Bourke does not carry back to Texas any instructions regarding the plan of campaign and that all orders on that subject will con- | tinue to be issued through General Wheaton, | the commanding general of the Depat ment of Texas, In fact. that officer has already been given general instructions to pur- sue a most vigorous campaign along the border and endeavor, with theaid of the three additional troops sent him, to capture or destroy all per- sous engaged in the revolutionary movement who are discovered violating the international laws, The details will be left to Gen. Wheaton to work out. It is now believed that the principal object of the department in calling for Capt. Bourke was to get a statement from him of what had taken place in the past. and not upon plans of the ‘atare. This he first made verbally in a short interview with Secretary Elkins and Gen. Scho- field, and afterward put it in writing for the information of Secretary Elkins upon his re- turn to Washington, probably tomorrow.
